Yup. We also went back in time and got in his prime Brian Scalabrine to be the Warriors 6th man

Warriors would win the series before it began, but Scalabrine....whoops....White Mamba is ALWAYS in his prime. There's a reason why he's a two-time ROY.

Mhm.... 

Warriors blew a 24 point lead. Warriors have lost six games .24+6=30. The amount of people who wanted to take the easy way out this season was one. 30+1=31. 31 with a hyphen is 3-1.

 

The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. Never forget. 

 

SUCK IT WARRIORS.

Zaza Pachulia lmao. It was the same as last year but this is hilariously stupid.

Not really NBA but worth it, I reckon. Isaiah Austin, Baylor center had his career abruptly ended after being diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome just before 2014 draft. Two and a half years later he's medically cleared and has signed his first pro contract, with Red Star Belgrade (my team) development squad. He'll play in ABA league for FMP and if all goes well, he's expected to move to Red Star and play in Euroleague. He just played his first 9 minutes after the long break and looked great:

Even Shaq is laughing at you Joakim.

 

I think to make the NBA fair again we should trade Noah to the warriors and force Steve Kerr to make Noah take 15 3s a game.

Steph Curry missed a wide open game winning layup down by one. Steph Curry wears 30, the warriors lost by 1, 30+1=31, 31 with a hyphen is 3-1. The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. Never forget

Don't let this distract you from the fact that the Patriots went 3-1 without Tom Brady. Never forget

The score of Super bowl 51 was 34-28. (34+28)/2=31. 31 with a hyphen is 3-1.

Yeah your math was right in the end, just put the wrong number in there

Consider this partial payback for beating me to the punch twice yesterday

Hey, this is a cause we both believe in. I'm okay with this.

The Cavs were the Pats and the Wiz were the Falcons. You knew who'd win the game if it went to OT.

Can't actually say that since Lebron fouled out but it was a good win by the Cavs.

Charles Oakley arrested at MSG after reportedly 'going after' Knicks owner James Dolan

Charles Oakley, a longtime favorite of New York Knicks fans as an enforcer power forward on the rough-and-tumble teams that waged yearly postseason battles with Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls and Reggie Miller’s Indiana Pacers during the 1990s, was in attendance for the team’s nationally televised matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

Lol, regular season basketball is irrelevant now unless the Warriors lose. Then the rest of the league gets to gloat

Pretty much, I might tune in for a game here and there if it looks good but I won't pay too much attention until at least the second round

[Steve0x]

I was watching ESPN last night i saw Oakley shoving the owner of the Knicks. He must be drunk or something

This is just your daily reminder that Parity is dead in the NBA. 

 

Seriously.. You're putting the best center in the NBA(who will eventually be passed by Embiid but still is an elite player), with one of the three best players in the world? Both are big men with guard like skills? Both are very good defensive and offensive players?

 

I hope they embarrass the warriors in the first round. But otherwise... OUTRAGE

Hey at least another team has an outside shot at doing something now lol

If the Pelicans can get some three point shooting and a few depth pieces(VERY possible) then that becomes a good enough team to win a title. There isn't a team right now that can defend boogie and Davis, and Jrue is an above average PG who is a jack of all trades, very good at all type. They're not a championship team right now, but will be very soon.

It's not Shaq's fault that Javele McGee is the most hilarious player in the league.

And people wonder why this team could be so hated. They celebrate and talk so much, but when another team (or in this case individual) retaliates, they seem to crumble mentally. This is yet another example. Shaq had no skills? Really???

Exactly. McGee keeps GIVING Shaq more ammo for his show. Shaq should respond by saying the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.

I'm pretty sure that Adam Silver forced them to sign Javele McGee as penance for the Warriors getting Durant. I seriously hope the cavs sweep them in the finals this year

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Also "Shaq has no skills". Please. Shaq had a very good post game. Without that post-game he's not one of the 3 most dominant players in NBA history. I doubt that Durant actually watched shaq if that's the case. 
If the 2001 Lakers had to play the 2016 Warriors I stand by the fact that the Lakers would beat them in 7. Shaq would go for 50 or 60 because McGee and Zaza would crap the bed trying to guard him, and even Draymond, their best defensive player wouldn't be able to slow him down, and if the Warriors tried sending him to the foul line, half their damn team would foul out. Likewise, Tomphson, Curry, and Durant would have NO ANSWERS for Kobe. 

 

 

This Warriors team will go down as one of the best ever in all likelihood, but 2001 Lakers with Shaq would eat you for Dinner KD. Shut up.

Like last year's Finals, I want one of two scenarios to happen regardless of the team:

1) one team sweeps the other

2) one team wins in 7 after being down 3-0
