NBA Finals

Honestly, I don't really care and am not even planning to watch. Am I a bad basketball fan for thinking that way? Just kinda bored with the NBA right now. To answer your question though, I'll say the Cavs win again this year despite the Warriors now having Durant.
Not a bad basketball fan at all, no Cats in the finals make it a lot less appealing since I don't care for either team. But, it's the finals and the matchup is intriguing
It's hard to get excited with all the thuggery, walking, grabbing. How is it exciting watching a bunch of 7 footers +/- dunking the ball? Anyone 6'5" or better with any athletic ability at all should be able to do that. No shooting, no defense. I'd rather watch the Reds...and they are terrible.
To each his own...but what have you seen that demonstrates a high level of skill? Running over people, moving picks, grabbing. Looks like street ball to me.

Okay man. It's 35-30 after the first quarter, curry pulling up from 35 feet and splashing 3s, Cleveland running the pick-n-roll masterfully, Lebron darting passes through traffic, oh and a buzzer beater to end the quarter. This may not be as exciting as Virginia vs Wisconsin in the NCAA tourney or the amazing NCAA championship game where 300 fouls were called and UNC won after shooting 20% from 3 but it will do.
I hope GS runs them off the court.. I can't stand this trash from cleveland
I saw the couple of outside shots they made (probably missed a couple since I'm mainly watching the national spelling bee). Not sure about the va/wisc game as I rarely watch college bball. As for fouls: I'd rather have 300 fouls called WHEN there are 300 fouls committed, than watch a game with constant fouling that is never called.
Maybe the worst post I've seen in months.
crazy how much they get away with in the NBA. not one screen is legal and the defender is always grabbing and pulling the offensive player
Love all the anti NBA guys posting in the NBA finals thread..
During a break in the spelling bee, I tuned in....a couple of walks, a hold, several foul-worthy bumps and bangs within a couple of minutes. It's not basketball.
Part of it is due to it being the only sporting event on tv tonight. Reds aren't playing. It's either the nba during commercial breaks with the national spelling bee or watch Housewives of some county. As bad as it is, the nba beats the Housewives shows.
Wow, they just ran one of our little league plays: Clear left! Defenders just move out of the way when the offensive player begins his move about 20 feet from the basket.
As opposed to the college game were the officiating dictates the majority of the winners and losers. This past season was one of the worst I have ever seen in my life. If it wasn't for UK, I wouldn't even watch it.
We'll agree on that...if it wasn't for UK I wouldn't watch either...and don't until the tournament begins. The problem with college officiating is lack of consistency.
Cavs are scared to death of getting close to Durant for some reason. Does he have a disease we haven't heard about yet or something?
Me too
Cavs in 6!
When Lebron teams up with bosh and wade hes "doing it the wrong way"
GS adds Durant to make a "super team" and it's "building a team the right way"
Lameeeee
Go cavs !
(I do like Durant tho )
GSW in 6, me thinks.
But Lebron is a freak so maybe 7 games going either way. Not sure.

Anyone who doesn't like the NBA, doesn't like basketball. You get the best of the best going head to head. LeBron vs Durant is must see tv.
Used to like it when it was played the way it should be played. Lebron is great/one of the best ever
i think, these super teams always better in their second year than first year.
Also, this is why i want less teams. Imagine taking out like 6 teams from the league and then putting them into some of these other play off team.
Spurs with Davis. Boston with Cousin. KAT on Portland.
Etc. Etc. Every team is like super team and you are literally talking about elites going against elites.
Blood bath. My Cavs will be lucky to win 1 game in this series. Felt this way before it started tonight only confirmed. Cavs added Korver and GS added Durant....not exactly the same type of player.
Actually I knew this would be the result on July 4th, 2016. My happiness as a Cleveland fan was short lived after our 1st championship in my lifetime.
Still hard to believe a 73 win GS team was able to add a player like Durant.

Curry's injury prone reputation ended up being the greatest injury (Positive) in NBA history for NBA team.
Been expected but still hurts. Getting Durant ended the season before it began. That been like the Cavs getting Leonard last off-season. Good thing the Cavs won last year because GS is going to win the next 3 or 4.
Good. Beat lebron at his own medicine. How long u think before he bails? I think he gives it one more season. Then he tries to formake one more super tram
Just don't see any way you beat this squad four times in seven tries.
The Cavs' only hope was for their bench to be way better, and instead they got nothing from Korver, Shumpert, Williams, Thompson, etc.
LeBron was incredible. Kyrie did enough. Love didn't shoot well but rebounded and was active. The supporting cast was completely destroyed.
