NBA 2017-18 Season

Cavs are done.

They get embarrassed by a journeymen player in Bojan Bogdanovic.

Tyronn Lue looks clueless.

Jordan Clarkson has been a ghost.
How much money do they pay Tristan Thompson? Has he even played 1 min yet?
George Hill over Jose Calderon? Not saying Calderon is much better but Hill sucks.

LeBron ain't staying for his crap. Los Angeles and dealing with LaVar Ball sound much more enticing

I don't care anymore. I watch hockey now, didn't see 1-second of last night's game.

Hill played very well in the first half. He was ineffective/unavailable in the second half because his back froze up.
 
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

Cavs 104; Pac men 100

I still haven't tuned in since the first quarter of game 1, but...
 
Ok, granted I am following mostly the hockey right now, but wtf is wrong with the Thunder? Down 3-1 to Utah. They are about to take an early walk to VacayLand.

Paul George nor Carmelo have changed their game to make the team better
No bench

OK, I just saw that. Lebron blocks Indiana's game winning shot and, after a timeout, he drains an impossible game-winning three. Freaking amazing.

WGA--worlds greatest athlete!

I'm sure glad I tuned in for the fourth quarter.

Agreed. But the ref missed it. Too close to call.

Every playoff win, at this point, IS Cleveland's championship. The squad is that bad.

Westbrook is the NBA's version of Mike Trout. Not much of a fan of the NBA but if Westbrook's teams
playing it's a must watch. 45 last night 20 in the 3rd quarter, 15 rebounds. No player gives more effort.

I'm watching the Greek Freak (Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks) right now. He's another one.
 
Cavs down 25 after 3. No need to tune into this one.

I think Lance Stephenson is averaging more points in the playoffs than Kevin Love.

How embarrassing! This is a man that averaged 26 ppg twice in two years for the T-wolves.
 
This Thunder team is a complete mystery.

Westbrook has 3 air balls, Pg has 5 points and he just jacked up a 3 from near mid court, yet they are only down by 3!

Paul George was dreadful. WTF????

He was sure a show however a very poor sport. After the game he assaulted a Utah Jazz fan. Very low class!

He explained that incident with the fan after the game. He was almost a one man team out there. I'm wondering if they have stats on critical
playoffs game if any other player in history has scored more than half of his teams points like Westbrook did last night, I doubt it.
He would have had another of his triple doubles but you can't get an assist when you put a teammate in position to score and they
constantly miss their shots. George is a great player & I hope he stays with the team but if he played the way he usually does we'd
have a game seven at OKC. Again Westbrook was astonishing only one other player ever IMO could put on a show like that Iverson

Westbrook makes everyone else on his team worse.

Aside from Kevin Durant, it seems players seem to play better when they leave OKC and Westbrook:

The only question I have is whether or not I'll watch the game. Chances are I'll check the score and decide sometime in the second half.

Win or lose, Indiana has shown that they are a team on the rise. Cavs not so much.
 
I the WGA (world's greatest athlete) did it again, somehow. 45 points, 9 boards, 7 dimes and 4 steals. It says he broke Scottie Pippen's playoff steals record. It was also his second 45-point Game 7. Only three other people even have one of those---none are named Jordan.

That dude really is freaking amazing. Let's face it. Cavs had no business beating the Pacers.

Isn't Kevin Love a 5-time all-star?

He's averaging less than 12 points a game in this post season, right now. In fact, no one other than Bron had more than 20 points in any game against Indy, IIRC. A few guys topped 15 though.

He's also playing with one of the most clueless coaches in the league.
