2017 NBA Finals | Game #2 | Cavaliers @ Warriors | June 4th, 2017 @ 8:00 PM EST

When is the current CBA set to expire? They are going to have to add even more language to try and keep this super team shit from happening. Players will hate it, and we'll probably have another strike.

You got one option. Stop watching and goong to the games. Because the only true way to stop this is to institute a hard cap. But the players are never gonna go for a hard cap as long as the leaguebis making so much money.

That's it.

The refs weren't going to call shit anyway.

So don't even try then.
Why even show up to the game?

 

[melecoaze]

We can all bitch about how our team is constructed but the reality is there's nothing we can do to match what they have going on.

 

[BrazilianWildThing]

In that case, Paul (even though the Dubs own him) and Hayward (ditto, though, I guess?)

Chris Paul lost the little athleticism he ever had. He can't run around Curry. Not want to be cliche but we need someone like Jimmy Butler, that can play the two sides of the court and shot the three as well.

 

[OptimusPrime]

That one was hard to stomach.

Yep, because this was the A effort. They play like this against Boston and they win by 40. I don't know really know what adjustments they can make. They have no hope of guarding this team.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

A Wire reference!

Contested 3, iso turnover, smacked around on D, timeout.
Back from timeout, contested 3, iso turnover, smacked around on D, timeout.

etc..

2nd half in a notch.

This is the kind of stuff that makes you realize how stupid the NBA is right now.

Because you're not even wrong.

I literally got a pile of dislikes and laughed off the forum for saying this a week ago lol.

Fact is, we could've done a whole lot more tonight and the entire season to win this game.

And go where exactly? LeBron will stay here til he retires. He's not leaving the East and there is no other city in the East he will go to.

It'd never happen, but in theory he could sign with Boston and Celts could turn around and flip the Brooklyn picks and Brown for Butler. Certainly one of the most unlikely scenarios.

 

[Typhoon]

I'm talking about the fans fuck espn.

Cavs and Cleveland (small market) sports fans, sure. But the influence ESPN has on the general public and the people who barely pay attention to sports is astounding. Look at how the narrative has changed on LeBron joining the Heat. Barely anyone shit's on him for leaving Cleveland the way he did, not trying and giving up to the roided Magic team. The only thing they talk shit about is his choke against the Mavericks. They wish he would have won that championship for even further validation. The only way the media will hate the Team USA Warriors team, is if they lose.

Yep, right, you told us so. Now shut the fuck up about it

Well, I was talking about 2017 UFAs.

Bosh might be viable to eat end-of-bench minutes over the season, if that.

The games are only close when the Cavs are working their absolute hardest to score and the Warriors are not even dropping a sweat. It takes perfection through 4 straight quarters and for 4 fucking games.

We scored 113 points tonight and didn't have a chance. It's fucked up.

Maybe Griff doesn't have a new contract because Griff doesn't want a new contract....

The end is near.

To preserve your NBA career, he's better off going to a young team.

This could be true. In the end of the day, Griff has been good at aquiring talent but hasn't found it from the draft or offseason free agency. To compete against the warriors we will need more two way talent and not the Sun's "out score them" mentality in the front office.
