The 2015 NBA Finals Game Thread AKA Battle Of The Australian Institute Of Sport

Are you Sicilian?

 
Those Moors.

 

[eddiew112]

Why is Green taking that shot?

 

[hikeeba]

 
Those Moors.

You mean Moops?

 

[johnmd20]

Curry is back. Draining everything.

 

[Devizier]

Draymond Green shooting a three?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I have money on the Warriors and I want them to lose so you feel bad because you're being a fucking clown. C'mon, man.

I was merely pointing out the in-game hot-takez crap by folks who haven't watched much NBA in years.  As you well know, teams make runs in the NBA and the Cavs offense stalls in spots so you could see this coming.  But you think its ok that people were calling one team or another wussies and frauds?  This is the same guy who was battling all the LeBron haters last game.

 

[Section15Box113]

No foul??

 

[johnmd20]

Dellabadova is insane.

 

[FelixMantilla]

No foul on Lebron. Wow.

[riboflav]

Did James tackle Curry?

 

[Blacken]

Draymond Green shooting a three?

He's averaged 4.8 3PA/36 this year.

 

[nocode51]

He crashed into him and took him out. How are they only showing the scramble afterwards?

 

[coremiller]

How was that not a foul on LeBron?

 

[luckiestman]

Curry is back. Draining everything.

He's filling up the stat sheet in garbage time

 

[FelixMantilla]

Did James tackle Curry?

 
You'd never know it from listening to this broadcast team.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

LeBron slide tackle on Steph. Clean?

 

[Blacken]

It.Is.A.Game.Thread.

This. My beef was more that it was stupid and mostly purveyed by the legion of shitposters. I mean, JohnnyTheBone is here.

 

[coremiller]

He's averaged 4.8 3PA/36 this year.

 
And shot 34%.  But he's made something like 1 of his last 20, most of them wide open.  Cleveland is daring him to shoot.  Green losing his jump shot has been one of the most important sub plots of the series.

 

[johnmd20]

He's filling up the stat sheet in garbage time

 
This isn't garbage time.

 

[riboflav]

Just rewound it. Clearly a blatant foul on James.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Draymond Green shooting a three?

He has been awful this series but surprisingly effective (.337%) during the season.  That said, its a shot Cleveland should be happy about.

Dellevadova the unlikely hero is like who? Gene Tenace? Brian Doyle? Darrell Porter? Mickey Hatcher? I can't decide.

 

[Blacken]

Dellevadova the unlikely hero is like who? Gene Tenace? Brian Doyle? Darrell Porter? Mickey Hatcher? I can't decide.

Matthew Dellavadova, probably.

 

[Section15Box113]

Hideous. He just plowed into him. Couldn't have been more clear on the replay - or in real time.

And embarrassing job by the broadcast crew.

 

[Devizier]

He's averaged 4.8 3PA/36 this year.

 
But, I mean. Game on the line. And Green is only a little better than Sullinger at it.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

I have a mancrush of Delly. Love this guy!!!

 

[johnmd20]

Dellevadova the unlikely hero is like who? Gene Tenace? Brian Doyle? Darrell Porter? Mickey Hatcher? I can't decide.

 
David Eckstein.

 

[Blacken]

But, I mean. Game on the line. And Green is only a little better than Sullinger at it.

There's not much else for them to go on right now.


WOOF that's a bad turnover.

 

[luckiestman]

 
This isn't garbage time.

Oh, are you also a Curry-ette? I didn't know

 

[Section15Box113]

Would have been interesting if he's drained that.

 

[riboflav]

Visions of Reggie Miller for a moment anyway.

 

[johnmd20]

Sloppy play all over.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Dellevadova deserves all the props he gets for this game

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Dellevadova the unlikely hero is like who? Gene Tenace? Brian Doyle? Darrell Porter? Mickey Hatcher? I can't decide.

 
How about Em Bryant?  http://www.celticslife.com/2011/12/what-hell-happened-toem-bryant.html

 

[johnmd20]

Oh, are you also a Curry-ette? I didn't know

 
No. I'm all in on Lebron.

 

[Kliq]

Anyone else want to play Delladova white guy cliche bingo?

 

[ifmanis5]

Man, the Spurs must be watching this mess at home and thinking they could smoke both these teams.

 

[Devizier]

Knicks pride!

 

[ifmanis5]

 
David Eckstein.

The answer was Craig Counsell.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Hideous. He just plowed into him. Couldn't have been more clear on the replay - or in real time.

And embarrassing job by the broadcast crew.

Was a highlight of his hustle. Ridiculous.

 

[eddiew112]

Seems like the Cavs get every 50-50 ball

 

[luckiestman]

Curry filling up the stat sheet

 

[Devizier]

Just to revisit an earlier theme, could anyone imagine that last 30 second sequence involving a team with Pippen, Kukoc, and -- dare I say it -- Rodman on it?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Curry filling up the stat sheet

 
They probably should have sat him so he could rest.  Your analysis is spot on.

 

[ifmanis5]

Mark Jackson with one horrible point after another. He's a volcano of stupid.

 

[Section15Box113]

And still, it's 4.

A stop.

And then someone fouls Curry as he drains another 3.

 

[luckiestman]

 
They probably should have sat him so he could rest.  Your analysis is spot on.

Well he is seriously injured, why risk it?

 

[Blacken]

Hideous. He just plowed into him. Couldn't have been more clear on the replay - or in real time.

Ethan Strauss (self-described GSW homer) noted that LeBron was falling and hit the ball clean before he touched Curry, which is probably why it wasn't called. I tend to agree; I'm not sure you'd even get that called in the regular season.

 

[Section15Box113]

Curry. Holy shit.
