NBA 2017 - 2018

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

Houston never had a chance against Golden State if we're being real. No movement, just ISO and kick out vs. a team that runs off the ball and passes. Warriors will just close on the kick outs and let Harden/CP3 drive. Harden can get 40 and it won't be enough points to keep up.

Celtics are looking good. Caps, not so much. They'll be fine though.

Celtics are a weird one. I can’t work out how they are winning anything given their lineup. But nobody told them that I guess. :P

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown actually are great individual players, both probably already better than Gordon Hayward. Horford is really solid all around. And they’re coached as well as any non-Spurs team, are really deep and play outstanding team defense.

A healthy Celtics lineup next year might be the only team that can beat the Warriors. Not even a LeBron and Paul George-led Lakers team will get it done. Kawhi’s destination might be worth keeping an eye on as well.

If Celtics advance it ends one of the great streaks. Be interesting to see how LeBron reacts then.

Fuckin Warios, man. If they don't murder the competition they get murdered. There's no in between except Cavs Finals Game 7.

OKC Durant was in full form, tonight. Trying too hard to take the game in his own hands when the rest of the team absolutely sucks. I'm sure he'll be defending himself again on twitter tonight.

Curry is just fuckin awful in the playoffs, man.

Injured Curry is the only thing that can stop the Warriors from winning the title, but it's more of a bump in the road than anything.

They're better off benching him. He sucks in the playoffs, huge liability on defense.

Not sure if your Curry takes or Brady takes are worse, but you really missed your calling as a sports talk radio/TV hot take artist. You can be to those two what Skip Bayless is to LeBron and make millions. :lol:

Please understand that his injury in 2016 is the only thing that prevented a Warriors three-peat and his current injury is the only thing now that could prevent another championship. The only reason it's less significant now is they have Durant who can drop 30+ with no effort so they're not as dependent on their offensive sets which are completely centered around Curry's legendary three point shooting ability.

He really is one of the greatest players of his generation and will be a top 5 all time PG when his career ends, but he is injury prone.

I called him injury prone like a year ago and you weren't having any of that. :p

Please understand that the Warios would do better without Curry in the line up. Pretty clear as day that Curry was a flash in the pan and should've been traded when I said he should've been traded. He disappears in the playoffs, whether injured or not. Ignoring his disappearing act for years, then blaming it on injury is silly.

He isn't even a top 5 point guard now. He's a great 3pt shooter, good handles, but godawful on defense. Chris Paul, a much better point guard, proved that last night.

Again: get a radio/TV show. The absurdity needs to be publicized and capitalized on. Skip Bayless makes 5 million a year because he constantly invents ways to discredit LeBron. You have that potential.
