NBA 2014/15 Season Thread

[Quom]

The fact he looks like a 14 year old girl and totally non-threatening makes him pretty unique. He looks nothing like you'd expect the premier player in a contact sport to look like. Add in the stuff he keeps doing with his daughter and he's pretty much the ideal face of your sport.

Pretty much. ESPN gonna ESPN so verbal fellatio comes with the territory.

[HC]

Yeah, he seems like the perfect guy to make the face of the league, and he absolutely deserves it because he is that damn good, but I'm getting like this weird John Cena type hate for him. He's impossibly good on the court and hyped to no end. He's very much the golden child at the moment (heh), and it's a little annoying so I'd like to see him tested with adversity like every other athlete is. Plus I'm salty that he absolutely destroyed my team.

[Benjamin]

Iggy making a great play there.

[HC]

Cavs are shooting themselves in the foot with awful shot selection.

[HC]

This is good basketball.

[Plubby]

Cavs are shooting themselves in the foot with awful shot selection.

Well yes that does seem like a rather silly place to shoot.

[Benjamin]

JR Smith making continuous mistakes makes me so happy.

[HC]

This game would give me a heart attack if I were a fan of either team.

[HC]

That ghost travel on Mozgov was awful.

[Meacon Keaton]

I expected nothing else from these two sides. Great game one so far, and a great indication of what this series is going to deliver.

[Quom]

Hopsteps confuse me, I always thought you couldn't pivot after doing it?

[Meacon Keaton]

Harrison Barnes. Go Heels.

[HC]

Welp that's it. Cavs had their chances, but couldn't get it done tonight.

[HC]

I know Lebron is the best, but the Kobe-style "wear down the clock and take a horrible long range jumper" hero ball cost them a chance to steal a pivotal game 1.

[Mofoticon]

If Kyrie is out then this will be the most competitive game. Warriors in 4.

[gunnar hendershow]

I felt going into this we were going to have 1 or 2 games where LeBron dominated and Cavs dictated the pace. For most of tonight this was one of those games, but Warriors adapted to it by the end. Cavs had a great chance at the end of regulation.

You had a B+ Curry tonight, an A+ LeBron and Kyrie night, and you still couldn't win. If you're Cleveland what is going through your mind right now? Horrible loss for them since they seemed to be doing everything right.

[Benjamin]

Shit, I hope Kyrie isn't out, he seems like a nice guy and is a great player. Him versus Curry is always fun.

That game either had some really great defending or some really bad passing, too.

[Meacon Keaton]

I just want to say that after the long break between the conference finals and NBA finals, I hate that they have tomorrow off. I like my playoff series old school style. Play two games in a row, dangnabbit.
