Kawhi Leonard...my God he's insanely good

Watch his dunk last night

Wobbie

I know they're aren't a lot of NBA fans here.....and I don't really give a shit in the regular season.....but there have been some crazy finishes to these games

Hey Clippers.....beat it.

eeriepadave

should be a decent conference finals. top 2 teams in each conference. i'm going with golden state and cleveland though.

Wobbie

In another month, we'll have a champion!

Wobbie

as they say.......dagger!

I might regret saying this but I'm glad Warriors get Rockets. Clips and Warriors hate each other which can always add some unknown to the series as it goes along. Warriors beat the shit out of Rockets in regular season but I dont think they ever really had to take on rockets with Dwight healthy.

InHiding80

My Clips are no longer in.

At least my Ducks are still in it for hockey, though.

Wobbie

I'm not a huge NBA guy, but.....damn.....this place is dead.

Probably because no philly, Chicago and/or New York. There are no ATL peeps here I know of, one Houston, most of the Bay Area peeps left and a couple Ohio peeps.

shoulda be a good couple of series....Cleveland/GS Finals.

Here is a question for debate, is Stephen Curry the best pure shooter in NBA history?

prolly. Who's his competition?

Amongst the Ani

I would say Reggie Miller, Ray Allen Kerr and Hornacek to name a few. A guy never gets his props is Chris Mullin. Wasnt a big time 3 shooter but had maybe best mid-range jump shot.

first of all, fuck that ring chasing ray allen. here's the stats; FG% followed by 3pt %

Reggie 47/40
Horny 50/40
Mullin 51/38
Allen 45/40
Kerr 48/45
Steph 47/44

I don't remember Mullin's pro career; fuck ray allen, horny could shoot but (at least with the jazz) he wasn't asked to carry the team, same with kerr.....I'd say reggie and steph were/are their team's #1 option. steph is pretty fucking good.

korver had a shitty series but he shot 49% for everything this year....just missed 50/50/90%

Steph does his damage off the dribble. Its why I would take him over the other guys. Korver just sits and takes mostly uncontested 3's when the defense breaks down. Miller was brilliant off screens but that is where he did his damage, getting open so he had uncontested looks. Steph takes 3's like his one against NO where he has multiple guys in his face.

yes and his best competition is Larry Bird.

korver gets rid of it unbelievably fast.

Jason P

International Man of Mystery, Sam Hinkie, looks to be heading into season three of pooping into a sink for the 76ers and their fans. I will be convinced that he is The White Wizard Saruman if the Sixers fans keep eating his strategy up.

The basketball gods have spoken.

Wobbie

If this holds up, it should be an interesting Finals.

Wobbie

this is outstanding.

Korver should be ashamed of himself.

he was picking up JR Smith at the 3-point line.

Amongst the Ani

Harden couldn't keep up the hero ball like he has the first two of the series. If he doesn't get his game together Rockets are done. I still cannot believe the Warriors are possibly 5 plus some change quarters away from the finals. Much like the Giants prior to 2010 I never thought I would see them get this far.

Wobbie

Warriors are kicking ass. Thought the rockets would show up on their home court.

Wobbie

5 quarters? Make it one game.

Amongst the Ani

Go Warriors. Its amazing to say this but Curry seems to be even better than he was in the regular season.

eeriepadave

Korver out for the remainder of the playoffs

Horford should be too as his man picked Jame's man and he should've rotated a hell of a lot faster then he did. But, it probably didn't matter anyway as he would've been posterized>LOL!!

That fall by Curry was the worst I've ever seen on a basketball court.

Indifference71

In typical NBA fashion, both conf final series are over and they wait a whole week to start the Finals. They stretch this shit out way too much. Also, go warriors. Fuck Lebron.
