Official 2015-16 NBA Season Thread

I'm hoping Cavs win in game 7 & Kyrie for Finals MVP.

 

[nike1]

sure he might go down as one of the best to play the game,
he's like the biggest heel of the nba,

 

[Jaames]

Good to see Lebron has turned up for game 7. Shame the rest of the Cavs haven't.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Epic play series by Curry - blocked the J.R. alley attempt, hit a 2, steal and a 3.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Varejao 17 fouls in 3 mins

 

[Jaames]

Irving really starting to show up

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Warriors doing great job of preventing the switch Cavs want to get Lebron on Curry. Couldn't stop it last game.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Huge 3 by Kyrie. Perfect soccer job by Lebron. Icing the Warriors good.

Steph may be the new cover girl for the nba's choke tag. Choke of epic proportions. Behind the back pass out of bounds for no reason, running one footer three point attempts..the headlines will be buzzing with Steph and the words choke.

Got a felling Steph will not get much heat for it. If it was Lebron though you'd never here the end of it.

That's one of the best finals games I have ever seen. So intense was start to finish, well done to the Cavs and James. Katrina

 

[Harsha_12]

THE CAVS DID IT! 52 YEAR CURSE IS OVER for the city of CLEVELAND!

LeBron has just cemented his legacy and greatness! THAT BLOCK ON IGUODALA was UNBELIEVABLE! and KYRIE with the HUGEEE 3!

Happiest day as a Cavs Fan!

 

[edac6942]

Not a lebron fan.
But Im happy for the munchkin.

 

[thePACisback]

That. Was. Mind. Blowing.
That. Block. On. Iggy. Was. Huge.

It's official ladies and gents, the Cavs have won a championship before the Browns.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

That last 1 minute was insane. Warriors shouldn't really have been in that position where that "anything can happen" stuff can happen but they were. Huge series by Lebron and what a shot by Kyrie hey! What a season.

Up 3-1, could have closed out but then The Nut Check happened..then the hyper extension on Bogut's knee..then the back spasms on Iggy. And before that, Steph was nursing his knee, ankle, elbow from the fall and shoulder injuries. You need health as part of that championship run, and Dubs didn't quite have it. Credit to Cleveland, and LeBron and Kyrie in particular for showing up. JR also deserves credit especially for playing defense throughout, and contesting the Iggy layup enough to make him double clutch which gave Bron just enough time to smack it off the glass. That one play could have been the difference between a win or a loss.

why the hell would 76ers be shopping okafor?? are they ever going to try and make the playoffs? ever?

Probably because he's a below average defender, awful free throw shooter and has zero range outside the key.

They still believe that Embiid is their big man of the future and they'd be looking to get value out of Okafor before his stock becomes Al Jerfferson 2.0

big IF on Embiid. Okafor can still score, especially now with simmons passing. Noel to back up the C or start at the PF.
Id also have kept MCW on the roster.
How do the 76ers stay alive and draw a crowd.

 

[nichj99]

Nah man, moving MCW was a smart move. He's an ordinary decision maker and has a high turnover rate coupled with low shooting abilities. Simply, he didn't fit the way Brett Brown operates the team.

I do think they could have got more for him tho.

There's some pretty pleasing reports on Embiid coming out, and with Simmons on the team they'd be looking to now add shooters + push the tempo, something that doesn't compliment Okafors skill set. They've got 3 big men - one is the odd one out and Okafor just doesn't fit to me.
