Am I missing the NBA Finals thread?

[MJMGator]

I do love Horford and hope he gets a ring. Just have no interest in watching.

If you had tuned it last night, you woulda been cheering your ass off in the 4th. He was awesome!

For all of us that played pick up ball at Southwest, I don’t know how you don’t love the finals. It’s ball at its highest level.

The handles these guys have and the ability to jump through the roof is amazing.

The BLM/politics and constant 3 pointers are a drag, but the level these guys play at deserves attention.

It’s athleticism at the very highest level but it is NOT basketball.

What does that have to do with anything?

If only any of them actually jumped towards the rim anymore. I saw a stat that there were only 11 dunks in the NBA this entire season.

If you played for fun, you appreciate what they are doing because it’s 1,000,000 times better than what we did.

I can’t believe I have to explain that.

*Duplicate post that I never sanctioned.

This place needs to shut down for at least 48 hours to get it together.

Same here.

I absolutely love Al Horford and I hope he gets the ring he richly deserves.

I stopped watching the NBA nearly a decade ago when it became clear that the league no longer had any interest in basketball choosing instead to eliminate defense and have a timed three point contest.

Good luck Al!!!!

I actually don't like either team, especially the Celtics (I was on the side of the Lakers back in the day), but I've been watching them (because of Al) in the playoffs and I like their team. Al doesn't need to be the big man as they have R. Williams for that. Him dribbling the ball down the court last night on a fast break reminded me of when him and Noah used to do that. Hopefully he can continue to shine and get his first ring.

Basketball? I never played for fun. I played to win and played my ass off every time I stepped onto the court. It was work, not fun, but satisfying.

 

[soflagator]

The idea that Horford, who was a terrific inside player, is now known for jacking 3's says everything you need to know about today's NBA. It's ridiculous.

Why does being tall even matter anymore if all five players are going to stand around outside that stupid line? Ban the 3 point shot and maybe they would start playing basketball again.

I’m with you. I’d like to see the extra point try in football go away as well. Six points is enough. It’s ridiculous.

I agree with you, but I’ll use any excuse to show this war crime. Modern ball still has its moments.

I think this was actually the only one.

Agreed, very entertaining finish.

Meh. Any good will they may have generated through entertainment and skill was squandered via politics, hypocrisy, entitlement and shortsightedness. Same with the NFL. They decided to let the inmates run the asylum and what little interest I had took a walk and never came back.

Big Fan of Al Hoford. One of the best Gators Ever.

Would rather watch grass grow rather than NBA

Re: Thread Title. Probably not unless you have some sort of mental defect.

Most candyass sport in the US at this point. Players are softer than butter and flop more than European soccer stars. Also more whining and crying than any other sport.

Hopefully you guys watching remove the buttplugs from your pleasure points after you finish the game and each other

Saw Chiozza on the bench for G.S guess he’s injured or didn’t make the playoff roster.
Agree with Ox sure is nice to see big Al out there making plays.
