dain11279 928 Posted June 2, 2017 No team has ever gone 16 and 0 in the NBA playoffs. The bulls went 15 and 1, is that true? I don't think they ever went 15-1. If I recall they won 5 of their 6 Finals series 4 to 2. They beat the Lakers 4 to 1 but they weren't undefeated up to that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted June 5, 2017 Â I don't blame a guy for foregoing some additional cash to chase a ring. Teams have no loyalty to their players, so I don't expect players to have loyalty to their teams. I don't get the hate either. He entered the draft. Went to the team that picked him with no complaint. Made them into a contender. Finished out his contract, and then went where he wanted. Â Sounds like that free market thingy you guys love so much.

Strike 3,980 Posted June 5, 2017 Anyone see the play where Lebron turned the ball over, then walked up the court as GS inbounded and passed the ball ahead to Klay Thompson for an uncontested dunk?

tanatastic 2,061 Posted June 5, 2017 I hesitate to call this over since they came back from 3-1 last year. But it's looking grim. Only hope is the Warriors start celebrating their new ring early and take it easy gm3, opening the door for a comeback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BudBro 117 Posted June 5, 2017 How do they allow LJ to lower his shoulder and ram into the defender who owns the post position? It's happened 3 or 4 times in 2 games already. He is allowed to go around the defender, but not into him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BudBro 117 Posted June 5, 2017 Â Welcome to the NBA, where being a star gets you special privileges. Â You're suggesting that NBA players like LJ are not talented enough to make a basketball move that doesn't violate the rule book, or that officials are not courageous enough to make the call by the book? He'd stop doing it if someone would call it once. And how does Van Gundy and Mark Jackson NOT know what a pocket dribble is versus a carry? VG having a hissy fit over KD working Kyrie down the lane with that pocket dribble in game 1. I'm not convinced that LJ's "euro" step is ligit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strike 3,980 Posted June 5, 2017 So does anyone think Cleveland has a chance in this series? They came back from down 3-1 last year, and IIRC also lost the first two games. This year feels different.
