NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

Another 20 point blowout playoff win, this Warriors team is incredible.

Kyrie the closer must've just not had enough tonight.

Ah well maybe next game.

Fuck, this game isn't even over much less the series. Let's real it in a bit.

Sure, post the series where LeBron won 2 games with Delladova playing 40 minutes and no KI/Love.

Not sure if point proven?

It's actually quite impressive for this underdog Warriors team to be playing so well against the highest payroll in the NBA by a longshot.

If you're going to act like it's Lebron by himself vs the other team this year, then you can't blame his teammates for 2015

Stay tuned. The NBA will now allow this series to last less than 6 games.

I think this was the second time two guys had triple doubles in the same finals game? And honestly, this may have been the best game Lebron has played against us in the finals the last 3 years offensively. He's had games with bigger numbers, but he was really efficient tonight and going to the rim at will to go along with that triple double. And YET, KD was again the best player in this game.

Win or lose, I can't remember watching an important game where LeBron wasn't the best individual all-round player on the court. In G1 and G2, though, it has been KD both times. This was a bizarre game to watch, but fun if you like unbelievable talent. I know several people who would cite this game as exactly the reason they stopped watching the NBA though. Their loss as far as I'm concerned.

KD has it easy, he should average 40 a game on the Dubs. He is essentially a role player there which is why they win just as much when he's injured.

Again though, all of this has been expected since preseason and their dominance will continue as is as long as they take pay cuts to play together to limit competiveness.

Thank God LeBron got Cleveland a title last year because he isn't going to get them anymore.

Lebron has it easy. Should be averaging 50 playing with the most expensive payroll in the league and fellow former gold medalists Kyrie and Love. It's unbelievable he's hand picking the most expensive team in the league and losing.

It's less impressive when you see the other angle that shows him double dribbling partway through. Lebron is playing good D up until that point, and he rightly goes up for the block when Curry puts both hands on the ball.

Which ends in two games when Curry signs the supermax.

That is the ONLY reason their payroll is low is because Curry is still on his broken ankle contract.

That's why Durant has to take less just to even fit Curry's supermax in.

So in a season or two with repeater tax, to keep their team together as constructed they'll be way deep in the repeater tax like the Cavs.

Anyway...

Not sure if this is your first NBA game but double dribble and travel don't exist. LeBron is one of the kings of three stepping.
