NBA Playoffs 2017: LOL BAHSTAN - Page 273 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

All the petulant rage and death wishes in the last few pages have been rather pathetic, and this is coming from someone who was cheering on the Spurs this game.

Some may call it karma for the organization that once had Robert Horry hip checking Steve Nash and employed Bruce Bowen for like 9 years.

In this thread, people lose their minds over the possibility that one team might appear in the NBA finals in three consecutive years, even though, if either the Cavs or the Warriors make the finals, there will have been a team on a three year run in the finals for 28 of the last 36 years in the NBA.

Lakers -- 1982-1985
Celtics -- 1984-1987
Lakers -- 1987-1989
Pistons -- 1988-1990
Bulls -- 1991-1993
Bulls -- 1996-1998
Lakers -- 2000-2002
Lakers -- 2008-2010
Heat -- 2011-2014

I'm not quite ready to declare the NBA ruined.

You are trash. Congrats on being 11:1 favorites, getting crushed, and then intentionally injuring the MVP to pull through with a 2 point win I guess?

Anyway he had the nerve to accuse ME of being biased against the Warriors. And Danny, I won't use the language he did, but let me just say something Yeah okay, like I'm not a consummate professional or anything. Just because I enjoy great basketball, doesn't mean I'm biased. I suppose if watching beautiful basketball played by the greatest team with the greatest player of all time makes me biased Danny, if that makes me biased, well then I guess I'm biased. Unbelievable. I couldn't even enjoy the broccolini farro salad with meyer lemon zest that me and my girlfriend were going to prepare from Blue Apron tonight. Promo code CAPSPACE. You can't forget it, because all we do is talk about cap space on this program."

If he is unavailable for the finals, that would be a blow to the Warriors. No one can defend Lebron successfully, but historically, Iguadola at least has been able to make Lebron work for it.

For the "just enjoy great basketball" people to be gloating and taunting after there was a potentially great and competitive series starting that got crushed in such a way, is unbelievably pathetic and shows how disgusting and fraudulent Warriors fans are.

Who is gloating and taunting. No one in this thread wanted Kawhi to get hurt. It definitely makes the series less competitive.

**** off with "who is gloating and taunting", I quoted one post and there were plenty of others from other people.

1) Tit for tat.

2) It's not just about the intentional injury, it's about the degree of classlessness and cluelessness of celebrating a lucky 2 point win (down 20 at the time that you turn the MVP's ankle) while being 11:1 favorites.

Giving a thumbs up after someone suggests bringing in goons to injure Curry and Durant? That's less easy to understand, and more sad than anything.

Being a Woyas fan means tacitly supporting Zaza who intentionally injured the other team's superstar player. I can only imagine the rage the Woyas and their fans would've exhibited postgame if Dedmon did that to Steph or something. So it's certainly easy to understand even if it's technically hypocritical to wish injury on the opposing team while getting angry at your own team's injury at the hands of a goon.

If Zaza intentionally hurt Kawhi he should be gone for the rest of the playoffs. There's no place for that, nor should there be for retaliation.

Kiwi didn't seem to think so. Leonard had also already reinjured his ankle

Do GS fans honestly like cheering for an a-hole like Draymond? I guess if he helps your team win it doesn't matter what a terrible person he is? He should have been tossed on a double-T tonight, refs take way too much bull**** from him.
