They were not a better team the year before Lebron left. The 2nd part of this post is amazing "They have the cap room due to good timing and moves on the part of their GM, but should decline on the option of making their team better". For ref, the Cavs payroll gap between them and #2 is...

Being up 3-1 doesn't mean you won the series. Just ask the Warriors how that went in the Finals last year. Cavs lost in 2nd round that year mostly because Lebron went 11 for 35 from the field over Games 5 and 6. Couldn't cut it as alpha when it counted, went full beta to Miami.

Akron...not Cleveland. Get the fuck out of here Gaige, I can buy all the rest of the bias, but come the fuck on. Which major city is Akron closest too. This shit is laughable. Sorry, I think it's more beta to already BE the alpha on the team with the best record (despite these "oh they were...

No he ran crying to Wade leaving the team with the best record in the league 2 years running because he couldn't get it done on that team even...Durant left a worse team to go to a better team.

To say they bought a ring is premature...they haven't won it yet, and it's not like the team didn't win it 2 years ago and go to Game 7 in the Finals without him. Also, this wasn't some premeditated plan for multiple guys to move around, fuck over their hometown team, etc. A free agent went to...

I was looking at it as "I'm going to become a free agent and join/make a super team to chase a ring/s". I don't get the "despite them winning 73 games and having 3 All Stars already" part. He left a worse team to go to a better team? Forgive me, I think stabbing your home team in the back...

Granted, it was still early, but even with Leonard getting hurt, that lead is too big to give up. Not over yet though, can go up 3 here.

Trade v. free agent?

He's not the first to do it. I don't think it's a good look for him at all, but this is the reality that was created by others before him.

Lol Spurs if they blow this game.

I think some of it is just a realization that the roster was built for this 2 year "window" and whatever else was going on, this group actually really liked playing together. Oshie I think really wishes he could stay, but knows the money isn't going to be there (and I'd be leery of giving him...

Yeah especially if they're up against the other magic team right now, Nashville. Lol @ NBC execs if we get a Ottawa/Nashville final.

Eh, I think they're still pretty big underdogs, and this was always the narrative for whoever was going to come out of the Atlantic. They've certainly proven they have a bit of magic going, though. Not sure I still believe they can actually win that series.

Always great to see the Pens lose. Still don't know how Ottawa is doing this. 6-1 in OT's now.

Nashville just has it right now. Getting the timely scoring, when their top line is going they're hard to stop, even when they weren't last series, their D men chip in a good bit of offense. And they're solid at the back. You wonder how the hell they were 16th of the 16 playoff teams.

Can't believe they had two DOG penalties in a row.

The only things we really learned in S2 was that 99% of Vince Vaughn's dialogue was terrible, with 1% being golden. Colin Farrel was the only reason to actually watch. And Astro can have a hard time at understanding obvious plot points.

NHL already had a pretty good ratings series with Caps/Pens. I think worst case for them would be Nasville/Ottawa at this point.

I think Ducks getting over that Game 7 hump is big for them, but I just don't know. Nashville is solid as hell when they're getting that production from their top line, along with their D (seriously their D has put up some points in the playoffs). If Rinne continues his play I think Preds win...

Thing is, he sort of has that moment where he lets Brienne go and waves to her. He just explains that he will do whatever is necessary to protect those he loves. That's where the crux will be, when he gets back to King's Landing, and Cersei has killed/let die everyone...does he see what she...

Kuznetsov and Orlov to Worlds for Russia...no Ovechkin though, lower body injury. Said he didn't want to let the team down, was said he was playing on pain-killer injections in playoffs. I'm assuming the Kadri hit.

Not sure we'll get as far. That roster is going to look a lot different. Can pretty much say bon voyage to at least Williams, Alzner, Shattenkirk, Winnik...potentially Oshie too. Likely Grubauer in the expansion draft, too.

Congrats Grimm. You guys deserved it tonight.

I don't want to see that Oshie missed empty net chance in my nightmares.

So, 2 breakaways, and neither guy gets a shot on goal. Not helpful.

I want this to happen so much...but I wonder if we'll get it. Jaime is one of the characters who you really have no idea how his story will end. Part of me thinks Brienne eventually has to kill him, part of me thinks he ends up with her.

Not today.

The "strong female thing" is undermined a little bit by the circumstances for each one though. Dany still needs Tyrion and Varys as advisors (with Barristan before that, not to mention 3 fucking dragons), and still has a soft spot for Ser Friendzone. Cersei needs Undead Mountain to enforce her...

Well...if the Caps and Ducks manage to win tonight, I will have nailed 3 series in 2nd round perfectly even down to the # of games. Got Sens/Rags right in that it was 6 games, but wrong team.

So fucking good

There was confirmed plowing.

The fucking Sens are in the ECF.

Bishop could still be good. A 4th isn't much to give up to have negotiating rights before free agency starts.

By this logic, Lebron had already gotten there with Cleveland pre Miami.

Personally, I wouldn't if one of our stars was a home town kid that was drafted by the team and basically saved the franchise (DC fan here, though as I noted I don't follow NBA as much) left and tried to come back. But it's easy to play the "well you would do it to" card to people who aren't in...

It doesn't come close to leaving your hometown team that lucked out to draft you #1 and bring them back to relevance. Despite Gaige claiming they were getting tossed early in the playoffs they made the Finals and got swept, then lost a tight 7 game series to the Celtics, after which they...

He would if it had been as big a dick move as Lebron. KD didn't leave his HOMETOWN team, on which he had the best record in the league two years in a row before ditching them.

I want one

More shifts for Ovechkin would work when we have 2 quality centers now. Maybe it's just Eller that kills me. Dude will cycle the puck and hold onto it forever and ignore his teammates far too often while he just tries to stick-handle through the entire D himself. Was probably why Burakovsky...

The trolling was going so well, until the typical trying too hard post was made.
