    I still think he goes to NY. Maybe the Clippers. There was an article today that he may be re-thinking leaving too after the tear he was on and how much love he was getting from GS fans and the media because of it. Buuuut, then there’s how happy GS seemed to be playing without him again too. Honestly above all, I don’t think he wants to play with LeBron, I think he wants his own team, which he has yet to truly have yet, Russ was too big a personality in OKC, and GS was ready made when he got there.

    I’m watching ESPN and it’s all about Curry but Klay was the MVP for this game. His defense was elite and he kept the team close when Curry was crapping the bed in the first half.

    This move was filthy, (AND he may have been fouled by whiny-a** Rockets standards at the end as Tucker pushed his arm aside on the follow through



    The steal by Klay right after too, magnificent.

    I don’t even care who wins it all now. Warriors, Bucks, Blazers, Sixers (to a much lesser extent Denver, don’t really want Toronto winning deep down), it’s all fine. It’s only early May and I can breathe easy now until July 1st.

    But truly, this is fantastic. Last year the Rockets had the injury excuse, then they whined about calls. This year they were FULLY healthy, the Warriors lost Durant and Cousins, and guys like Looney step up, Rockets choke. No excuses to be had, no whining to be heard yet, this is so damn good.

    Some combo of Klay, KD, Kawhi to the Clippers is a real possibility. Solid roster, $70m cap space, good coach, good FO, great owner, lots of draft picks. Can we offer Jerry West a zillion dollars to leave now??

    As I said before, I'm team Bucks all the way. I don't mind any of the teams in right now but of course I want to see the Raptors lose and we all know why. If Kawhi wins the championship we can kiss him goodbye for sure. He might not leave if he makes the conference finals which is a pretty high chance. But if he doesn't get there I think we have a great chance to get him. Go Sixers for now.

    But yeah, seeing Houston and the C Bags get eliminated was glorious.

    I mean, he’d be an improvement, and he is not afraid to go all in with moves he makes, but at the same time his analytical side pisses me off. That report to the league about refs missing like 82 calls last year vs the Warriors was pathetic.

    I want nothing to do with Morey Eel. He can rot in Houston.

    I feel like I can finally breathe some peace. Boston winning would be a nightmare because of the personal historical competition we have with them for titles. Houston winning might've been even worse in a way, mostly because Houston right now represents everything that's wrong with the current NBA. I think it would be incredibly toxic to have such a team win a championship. I don't want to see Boston winning because it is Boston, but in a way it's even worse the fact that the reason I would never want to see the Rockets win has nothing to do with them being the Rockets (I mean, all the props in the world to those Olajuwon titles. Mad respect for those), I absolutely detest what the Rockets are, and if that really, really becomes the predominant basketball (which kinda is, but could still get much worse) I will be unable to watch basketball. It's not basketball for me and I don't enjoy the game they play. I can enjoy watching Boston because I can have fun rooting against them. Rockets are so annoying that I can't even have fun by watching them to root against them.

    So yes, happy glorious days because there is no more Boston and no more Houston. Bucks are probably my favorite "realistic" pick. I would also love to see Lillard somehow manage a miracle since I respect the guy, Toronto would be kinda bad I guess for our Leonard chances, but I don't mind that either because I don't believe in our Leonard chances, not much of a fan of this Sixers team, but far from a hater, so no problems with them winning and I personally don't dislike Denver as much as other people here, even if they had the Thuggets years. Jokic is a pretty damn amazing player doing some even more pretty damn amazing Playoffs. Oh, and I kinda don't want the Warriors to keep that dynasty going, but I don't really hate them, so I can live with that also.

    So yeah, I'm a very happy man right now and I will be able to applaud whoever ends up being the champion.

    curry and klay play better without KD. its almost like they won 67 and 73 games in two seasons without KD. oh wait...

    i'm so over GSW winning but honestly if it means harden, paul, and d'antoni are sent home i'm completely fine with it. james harden making the finals would have been an absolute disgrace. the rockets have always been such an easy team to hate because of various players they've had over the years so thank ******* god they're out

    Did a double take, had to smile when the ref called a foul on Paul for that forearm shiver that shed Iguodala off him. Never seen it called on Harden though. Houston losing at home in a winnable game is just...glorious. Them, the Tenants and Ainge's team gone. All is well in my NBA fandom.
