He probably sees potentials that we don't see. Barnes is 23 I think and he was a very good college player.

I don't want to be too harsh on him, so let me see what GSW will do with him. I for one, have given up.
cry to the point he cost us the game cry 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... angry

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

He is still a Queen even if he wins 10 rings grin which he wont tongue not even 4 tongue tongue cheesy
Any points you make are invalid. He madr history, only player in NBA finals history to lead both team in points, rebounds, assists, steals block, only player in history to make a 3_1 comeback in finals.
Appreciate greatness while it lasts cheesy

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

I will when i get home. I was not expecting CAVS to win this season at all. Warriors had it locked down before the Lebron/Draymond effect in Game 4.

Warriors will be back. the splash brother just need to play the same way they played during regular seasons.

If the warriors are not in the finals, my man KD will,depending on which team he lands.
Thats if he goes to the right team, but I know he wont even consider gsw. but he'll stay in the west, not sure he'll wanna leave the west

But he aint Micheal Jordan grin grin grin grin grin .Just joking ooo before everyone attack me this morning. grin grin I think the hatred made it all fun for NBA though. Seriously, i am really not his fan at all. That move to Miami and "check my stats" T shirts really did my head in then and i was his fan when he first came into NBA though.

After watching the video, i feel kind of happy for him that he actually won a ring for cleveland. You can't punish a city for Lebron's old moves. I know he is grown now but everytime i see, him, those memories have not died in my head.

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 grin 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

Also, put some respect in Lebron's name grin grin grin . Lets celebrate with him for now. No more Queen.Maybe Prince James. grin grin
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:02am On Jun 20, 2016
Please out some Respek on Lebron's name.. He has been consistent for 13yrs straight even with his antics.. Let him enjoy it. I also don't like his arrogance but let's admit it, James has changed..
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:11am On Jun 20, 2016
The organisation is a class act from top to bottom. Players showed respect, Coaches, and even the owner Bob Myers went to the Cavs locker room to congratulate the Cavs..

News Update

Transfer updates from Bleacher's Report.
Bob Myers says he will be disciplined and strict in the summer transfers and next season.
Golden plans to reshuffle the last 5 rotation including Barnes Ezeli and Verajao..
Steph on injury, says he didn't play well and there should be no excuse but no surgery for now.

I hope we keep Speights and Burbosa and Rush. The rest can leave

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.

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

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

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.

Warriors fans after game 6: Seriously? Ejecting Curry? SO RIGGED! I've said all along they want a 7 game series!
Warriors fans after game 7: *Buys LeBron James jersey* cheesy cheesy
Pls start buying your jerseys cheesy grin grin

There's nothing better than making a promise to an entire city and fulfilling it mehn!! LeBron is the GOAT, put the land on his back, broke the curse mehn what a time to be alive.

I agree with you. The lack of common respect his fans show wouldn't even want to make you like him.
Imagine what a so called fan said.
If the NBA is rigged, then it means that her husband's unanimous season MVP award is the product of that same rigged system.
Like Stephen A. said, this woman should remain quiet in the future and reserve her comments for her cooking show. She's trying to be a superstar herself and it's only going to hurt Steph.

Maybe if she didn't phuck his brains out everyday during these finals, he would've dropped 40 easily. It's my personal suspicion. That woman finished him before he even stepped on the court. Don't have sex before a big game. It weakens your energy and awareness somehow.

BTW, I'm a Cavs fan who saw this coming.
Who wouldn't see this and think it's sheer stupidity?? We just have to dell with them though.



Almost every playoff games here they show Dirk's playoff moments, it's a pleasure to watch. How he shoots with the position he plays, his mid range causes heartbreaks, his skills and IQ.. It's what centers of this day lack.. Dirk is one hell of a player.. So sad he's not getting young.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:39am On Jun 20, 2016
KD should think with his head and not his heart. He should come to Oakland.. And we can also get a Solid center.

Allrounder!! Age isnt on Bron Bron's side....For him to churn out such performance at his age is something to be admired. That said would troll him again next season tongue

p.s. The draft picks this year is boring!!! this LSU so called next Lebron smells like a bust kinda undecided dude cant shoot jumpers....in this league of hit and miss...Only dude that has gotten away with this is Queeneth Prince Lebron tongue

So much noise was made about D'angelo Russel too
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 11:43am On Jun 20, 2016
Some defining moments.
1)young and wild LeBron
2)Championship & grown ass LeBron
3)Uncle drew with the winning shot on the unanimous mvp, damn damn kyrie got game.
4)probably Jr smith's most iconic picture ever lol every set back is a blessing, got his ring before Carmelo lol..... Yall should go watch his post game interview mehn gives me goosebumps.

Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 11:49am On Jun 20, 2016
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?
