There are still people watching? Wake me up when the draft starts.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Durant might be the first superstar to openly admit that he wants things as easy as possible.
"I don't know of any player that, when the shot goes up, he doesn't want it to go in," Donovan said

That almost comes off like a teenager telling his boss that he can't be expected to take his job seriously because he is only working at a fast food chain or department store or whatever low wage job he has.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
There's a 'most overrated' thread on the GB and Russ wasn't even mentioned until page 7. That's some serious progress.

If he wants back in, Griz summer league team for McGary? No guarantees. They might use him for leverage against Zac and JaMychal Green. They take rough.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
I'm not even going to be able to watch the second half of this finals. What a freaking joke. NBA commissioner doesn't even care about this crap. I heard him yesterday on the herd praising Golden State for being smart and saying the public was too quick to crown them a dynasty. I love the NBA but it's a broken sport.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
That was remarkably boring. Shut it off at half, remarkable a stat line you can put up when there's zero pressure and you're a 2nd option.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
I'm not watching amother minute unless the caves get ahead 2-1. Cleveland is worse than they were last year and The whorriors are better.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
Read this (in my opinion inarguable) tweet and the replies.
I don't understand these people who have to take any suggestion that watching the Warriors isn't the greatest experience mankind has ever known as some sort of affront. The point the guy was making was obviously that 20 point blowouts are boring if its not your team.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
My favorite part of this is that this is going to happen every year until LeBron slows down or it's impossible to keep paying for the Warriors

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
Cleveland played well enough that they would have beaten any other team in the league by 25+. I hate the NBA.

Its just nuts. Cleveland a town that hadn't won a title before the last season since the 1960s is potentially missing out on a dynasty of their own because they happened to have to come up against this Warriors team. This could be the back 3rd of a three-peat. But now this'll be just another team remembered as really good, a title winner, but not all time. Similar to the 04 Pistons or the 07 Celtics.

I'll say it again guys, hockey. Heck I admit I lost a ton of interest this season. I'm here mainly for talking sports at work and I enjoy the other posters. But I've gained more interest in hockey and early football than I can remember.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
These playoffs are so boring (and it's not because I hate cupcake). The gap between the best team to the second best team and then to the rest of the field is just too big. There's no way for another franchise to contend for the next 3-4 years unless some team sign 2 superstars and good role players. Even the spurs would have to give up players to sign Chris paul. Their chances against Gs are not good.
Who is willing to trade picks to improve his team now seriously? NBA will be boring for a few years. Still want to see GOATbrook's prime but the NBA is losing a lot because of this disparity.
