Roland17:
The Knicks just made NBA followership very difficult for me by trading for Rose . Despite his lackluster and indifferent 2 years, Rose is one player i admire, however, the same can not be said of the NY Knicks who i desperately despise, those who have been on this thread for 3 years understand my open disposition to the Knicks. .

Now i am seriously torn, there is absolutely no way i am cheering for the Knicks..no way..but wetin i go do about Rose? I still believe in the Guy, just like i believe in Rondo (A40 i sight u there as soon as i mention R. Rondo).

Can't blame the Bulls for pulling the plug on Rose. That team's window was gone and they just had to rebuild

Rondo is a wasteman. Instead of focusing on improving a playoff team with a future HOFer he has opted to waste the rest of his career in the Sacramento wilderness

Any updates on the TANK?

Donlittle:
Guess the Hawks believes in schroeder. Good deal for Pacers too

I think he has the higher ceiling but Teague was a very stable PG for them. I guess they got to the point where stable just wouldn't do. And he for me was the only ninja on the Hawks that took the game to the Cavs in their series. Teague would be a considerable upgrade on Hill too

Mizzzbeee:
Update:Chicago Bulls trade Derrick Rose & Justin Holiday to New York Knicks for Robin Lopez/ Jerian Grant/Jose Calderon

Not a bad move if Rose can stay healthy

Mizzzbeee:
NO we ddnt. you stated in the last 10 years to back your claim

Every season its not certain what team wud be at the finals for the western conference. But for the east everyone knows Cavs r going to be der as long as Lebron is der....no competition.

But is Lebron guaranteed a spot in the finals, if he was in the west? NO!

#East is Weak Enuf said

I tire oh. Even 5 time Champs Spurs don't go into a season sure of beating the rest of the West, Dallas swept back champs Lakers. Dallas in turn got swept by OKC. Don't even get how its a contest

Mizzzbeee:
You see where you are wrong. Just because you wanted to support your fellow fan, you threw him under the bus unknowingly.

I actually brought up this talk, i said and i quote that the East is a weak conference. Then bog came out in defense with the championship statement and A40 answered. so

Baba just jumped into discussion without following the trail. See wetin Barnes and Ezeli don cause. Smh

Ol boy what has EPL done to De Bruyne. That ninja cannot even ping a decent through ball anymore

chic2pimp:
Your own even better sef. Our reward for topping the group of death is Spain. And then if We manage to get pass them, the Germans await. Then freaking France next. Really?

The people responsible for those draws ought to publicly flogged by well trained OP Mesa officers. I have never seen such a lopsided mess before. How can you put Spain, Germany, Italy, France, England on the same side of a draw?

borngeologist:
the eastern conference has the most title with a single team 17 (boston celtic).
Western confrence. Eastern conference
La lakers 16. Boston celtics 17
Sa spurs 6. Chicago bulls 7
GSW 2. Detriot pistons 3
Houston rocket 2. Miami heat 3
dallas mavericks 1. Cleavland cavaliers 1
Milwaukee buks 1. New york knicks 1
Portland trail blazers 1. Sixters 1
Seattle supersonics (okc) 1. Washignton wizard1.
Have now been able to convince you and not to confuse you that eastern conference Is the real deal.and I think we all should dab for eastern conference

Lmaooo bruhhh. Really?? Are you seriously including times when we had less than TEN teams in the league

Diademk07:
Wetin?
Did you expect Dortmund to sell below the amount they got him? He was signed for 27mil euros.
We will do well to up our bid if we really want him.

Exactly. Meet their valuation or beat it. Aye o le to yen oo

borngeologist:
we mention in the last decade,in the last 10 years. Not since 2000

The game didn't start last decade my guy. Everyone can interpret and remix the stats to suit their argument

Mizzzbeee:
They should leave Durant, and go for Butler....see we need defense in that lineup...our boys are butty except Draymond, Iggy...although the rest play good defense,they love Jumpers...We need another 2 way player and we can get that in Butler. I ssee no reason why Jimmy wont come. Iggy isnt getting older.,

If they can get whiteside fine but if they cant, go for Al Horford

I wonder if the Bulls can be conned into taking Barnes and Ezeli for Butler.

Horford na aje butter center. His rebounding is poor for his position. He also likes to take J's and I'm not sure if he can dominate the paint

borngeologist:
in the last 10 years the eastern have won it 5 times,while the western just 4 times.miami heat in 2006,boston celtics in 2008,dallas mavericks in 2011, miami heat in 2012 and 2013 and the recent won cavs in 2016.I don't see any weakness in the eastern confrence.they are as good as the western confrence.

Lmao bruh. Two can play that game

Since year 2000
Lakers 5 titles
Spurs 4 titles
Mavericks 1 title
Golden State 1 title

Heat 3 titles
Pistons 1 title
Celtics 1 title
Cavs 1 title

Mizzzbeee:
Dirk that wud be interesting! MAVS fans ur beloved may leave. What are your tots?

He has my blessing. Would you believe over the last twelve years Josh Howard is the only All-star the Mavs have drafted? That team he dragged to a ring even Lebron cannot do it. He deserves at least two rings before he retires and I just don't see the Mavs giving him that. Offload Barnes and Ezeli get Dirk

Lol Germany if they get past the 2nd round would face the winner between Italy and Spain

I know its just Northern Ireland but could it be that Kimmich might be Lahm's replacement? For club and country since Hoewedes is useless past the halfway line

Pataki:
Trash talk. I don't engage in this gutter yarns. Go and find a fellow imbecilé like you to engage your foolish prattle with. I will pass.

Thunder faya that your agbon seme head. Olo-orun elede

On a very normal day wetin wan make me interact with a frustrated okuko like you. Stay in your lane nobody has time for your banality

Well played Goetze. It really should be 2-0 by now. Poland also leading
Kimmich has been very neat too

Who Mueller don offend. Twice he has hit the bar

We should be 5-nil up by now

Great to see Kimmich start too

Mongrel, this is a very pathetic olodo-ish response.

Gbenu rirun sohun ke Phuck off! Attention seeking SWINE.

Eruditor:
You dey vex o. You are not even taking any prisoners.

What my eyes have seen from LeBron fanboys the last 8hrs if you be me you sef go vex

What confuses me the most is that on paper none of the other teams he has faced were ever equipped with so many weapons to stop him yet the Warriors let him run riot in both Finals series thereby enhancing his legacy which was at a nadir after his Gentleman Sweep at the hands of the Spurs

Eruditor:
I still think their mentality was good. The only issue I had was that "over-self confidence" they showed after game 4. Even when they lost games 5 and 6, the general aura around the team was that they would still win somewhat.

Kerr said his team doesn't handle prosperity well and he should take a bulk of the blame for that. At game 6 pre-match interview, Kerr kept letting the journalists bait him into discussing a game 7. I don't know if I was the only one that noticed it, but I was like "Have you already lost this game?" In my mind.

I believe they will bounce back. Perhaps another 60+ win regular season and they would rest the key players games before the P/Os. I know nobody will care about MVP of the regular season again.

For what it's worth, Houston Rockets were once called Choke City before 94-95 but they bounced back. Your Mavericks too choked against Shaq's Miami and were stellar in 2011.

The Core of my team is still great barring injuries. I just need a better Centre and another SF.

Well you nailed it. Overconfidence! You remember Klay's statements after Game 2? I don't even have a problem with that so long as you back it up on the floor. This chokejob though would hang on the Warriors for a while, its the worst in history of the game. Stands alone tbh

I don't think they had the mentality looking at how they played Game 6. They didn't play like the defending champs. That poise wasn't there. I hope they bounce back but nothing is a given that is why I was so mad about how they played compared to a LeBron in his 7th final

Hahaha good you mentioned 06 where Dwyane Wade went to the Free throw line 97 times, Stackhouse's laughable suspension. Even Stern won't tell you that series wasn't rigged with a straight face . The Mavs lost by 5pts combined in 3 games. I won't neglect to mention Gary Payton's foul on JET on the final play

Note: I'm not LeWhining, Dirk sef fumble but the circumstances were somewhat different.

Pataki:
How rich! Coming from a certified olodo mongrel like you who is well known by all on this board to enjoying ramuzaki's schlong as his feeding bottle.

Gerrout from my face you rancid dog, before I make you start your idiotic lamentations of missing Mohammed Ali on this board again!

Lmao at this frustrated old yob and cyber nuisance. You have been reduced to following my excreta from thread to thread like the natural born Elede you are. I don't blame you though, therein lies the nutrients necessary to sustain your pathetic existence

Mor0nic salsa dancing maricon. Keep displaying your idiocy for all to see

Mid-life crisis suffering mofo

Mizzzbeee:
Chai dude will be hating cavs right now Because i doubt he would be in warriors camp to have another run for the title

He's an eediot. If facing your former team in an NBA Finals doesn't get you motivated to contribute I don't get why you are still in the league. He and Ezeli in 20mins combined for 0 FGs 0 blocks and 1 rebound.

Mizzzbeee:
Guys

Westbrook vs Kyrie? who yall pick

Also, according to nba rules Varejao having played a considerable number of games with the cavs, is eligible for a ring. But it depends on if:
Varejao asks for it or if Cavs management gives it to him.

Should he demand a ring?

Kyrie is a natural. Depends on the scenario. If it were regular season maybe Westbrook but playoffs Irving is the better shooter

Lol I also heard Varejao is eligible. I thought it was a joke. He would be completely bereft of shame or self respeck to demand or accept a ring

LoJ:
Big up.

I also Would like the Barnes haters to calm down. Guy's messed up big time during the finals no doubts. He could not find his shoots.
But it does not reduce his intrinsic value, which could someday be beneficial to GSW.

Dude's only 23 and talented and y'all acting like he's a useless veteran. Defeat is always difficult to digest especially on home ground but be careful not to throw the baby with the water.

#bronbron #3ringsandcounting #polyvalence

I hope you know Kyrie's age sha, and you know how old Durant and Westbrook were when they took their team's to a Final.

Pls leave me to pour venom on a role player who cannot fill his role yet has the audacity to demand a max contract.

This is why it is also necessary to respect the legendary Dirk, and why I rate him higher than Malone. He beat a team with James, Wade and Bosh

lolawilliams:
Since kobe retired, the hate for king james has reduced, but I know you'll end up liking him oneday
All time top 5 basketballer

Naa the Lebron fans make him terribly hard to like, his utterances too. I don't think you can question the talent, drive and hunger even if he often finds the easier way out. As regards liking him to the extent of cheering him to win. Not gon happen

Is he all-time top 5? I guess that's open to interpretation

Eruditor:
Is Howard not better than Ezeli? They both suck at FTs, Ezeli passes better but Howard is a better scorer. Howard seems to be more healthy than Ezeli but Ezeli has better mentality.

2 sides of the same coin Ja re. I want WhiteSide or Anthony Davis.

*edited*

You are not winning anything with post Orlando Dwight. Dude is a mental midget

Even Embiid get more potential to help the Warriors, too bad he is a perma crock

Mizzzbeee:
to the point he cost us the game I have given up too... How come Rush ddnt even play.

I tot Kerr said he wud ride a hot hand anytime. But decided to sit Speights and Barbosa...

If we can bag Whiteside then that would be money. But i heard dude was complaining that he wants to be a starter. I dont see Kerr benching Bogut

Bee if Whiteside is available Bogut either sits or beat it

Donlittle:
I don't think they will give them both the money anymore. I would think the GM would be calling chicago asap to find out if he could get butler. Barnes is useless, absolutely. Curry was also. Kerr rotations were terrible, i know you are concerned with minutes, but last game of the year you need your best player on the court all times.

Victor oladipo might have played better defense on lebron than barnes did. I don't understand why barnes is playing terrible defense, he has the size, and he is fast also, not too fast but not too slow, the guy also has length.

Also on offense with his size, dude should be able to post up. Period.

Lakers are lucky this happened, i heard they were willing to spend money on this two garbage.

Give them Barnes and see if they can get Butler. Klay Thompson better hit the gym so he can play the #3, he has the size. And he has got to work on either his rebounding or passing. Or both

Don't know if they can get Oladipo or Deng but its worth a shot. All 3 guys don't just play defense they can also create their own shots

Kerr's rotations were bizarre. I don't know what contribution he was expecting from a crap player like Varejao. With a 7pt lead he had the opportunity to blow the game open by putting out his best rotation

I watch enough infact too much basketball to know a useless player when I see one which is why I wondered who was dumber. The Warriors for offering Barnes $16m or his agents for refusing it. With that long neck like tolo tolo his size is an absolute waste as he is not particularly good at anything on the floor

lolawilliams:
Saying warriors had a great regular seadon, but its nothing when you have a 73_9 regular season without a ring.
But how did the warriors lost 9games in playoffs
This shows that your way to the finals nxt season wont be easy.

Congratulations babe. Phuck Lebron but congratulations

Eruditor:
I couldn't agree more tbvh. I was just telling Donlittle he was being a tad too hard on Curry.

Perhaps maybe the defeat was easier to accept because It was my team's best player that let us down. Kyrie out played him today in a strange way.

Curry is guarding Kyrie and Kyrie has the confidence to still hit the jumper. The other wayround Curry has no confidence to hit shots he made for fun all season.

He will learn from it. Bron Choked aged 26 and was good for it the following year. Klay, Curry and Green are still quite young.

They need to hit the reshuffle button but certainly work on their mentality. You just can't miss your final 9 shots in a Game 7 at home. You can't have your two best scorers shooting 30%. I even saw some people blaming Green on Twitter smh

They are young but I still feel like the Warriors didn't give it their all. You never quite know when next an opportunity like this would come just ask Harden and OKC
