[2016] The Finals

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Not sure you can ever really point to a series featuring a 6'9" 250lb behemoth who also happens to be the best player in the world and complain about a lack of big men.

Two-fifty? Did LeBron lose weight?

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Still can't believe Cavs traded Wiggins for Love. What a bonehead move.

I was thinking the same thing when this series started. The length of athleticism of Wiggins and LeBron could be eerily similar to Pippen and Jordan.

I realize that the Cavs were in a "win now" mentality when they made that move, but how much better might the Cavs be right now with LeBron, Kyrie AND Wiggins?

Hopefully they still are able to win on Sunday with what they have now.

Would've been a fun combo to watch until lebron starts declining. Should've known how love would turn out as the exact same thing happened to bosh in Miami... Then again that was probably the plan, for Irving to play Wade and love to play bosh. All good if they get a ring but I'm with you... Wiggins would've made that team insane.

Yeah, I mean the Heat won it all twice and made the finals the other two years. That's not a bad model to follow!

They went with what they knew.

 

[passionforpurple916]

well, a) there didn't seem to be any indication of a joke in the original post, b) this didn't feel like any sort of contentious argument, the other poster clarified, I acknowledged that I misunderstood both parties moved on. which brings me to c) why on earth would you bring it up again? it's not like there were any good zingers in there that would warrant it. but yeah, sure, my bad or whatever

I was just joking as well. No need to feel like punching me in the face (without actually punching me in the face.....). Just trying to be a big part of the "Kingsfans.com" family, since I am a new member.

Didn't you read the fine print when you signed up? You're the official Gets-Punched-In-The-Face guy until somebody newer comes along. Also, you have to bring the donuts on Monday mornings. Speaking of which...it's been a few weeks since I've had my customary apple fritter, newb.

I'll bring all of the donuts on Monday mornings. After I eat the custard filled ones over the weekend!!!

 

[PurpleHaze]

And now,,,???

does that mean we can popcorn their house? does that mean we should?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

You haven't? We are definitely going to have to go over committee assignments at the next executive meeting.

well, there's the whole thing with the intercontinental travel that has to be sorted out, but sure, I'll be right on that, sir! (your official sanctioning as a mod protects me from any legal ramifications, correct? I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that)

 

[VF21]

I am Cavs fan (for at least the next 3-4 hours).

GO CAVS!!

 

[VF21]

I like how Cleveland does the national anthem much better than having some "star" sing it.

 

[dude12]

So is Kyrie Irving going to get the ball and do his thing tonight?

 

[Tetsujin]

This series can finally put the whole Isaiah Thomas is better than Kyrie argument to rest.

 

[Tetsujin]

"I wish Boogie would shut up and just play basketball when he gets affected by the refs, y'know, like Steph Curry..."
-People before these playoffs.

 

[dude12]

That left handed shot by Kyrie Irving though....

 

[hrdboild]

I can't believe Cleveland went with the sleeved pajama jerseys for game 7 of the Finals.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

low basketball iq shump? his man goes to double kevin and he continues to stand in the corner??! roll to the hoop idiot

 

[Sac.Kings]

Shumpert is killing the cavs

 

[Mass]

I can't believe Cleveland went with the sleeved pajama jerseys for game 7 of the Finals.

They won game 5 wearing those jerseys...

 

[SacTownKid]

I can't believe Cleveland went with the sleeved pajama jerseys for game 7 of the Finals.

They are terrible, just terrible. I was so relieved when I saw the Kings didn't have a sleeved jersey.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

congrats to cleveland.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

My nightmare is over. Congratulations to Cleveland.

 

[dude12]

Way to go Cleveland. Down 3-1, come back and win it all. Wow. Salute.

 

[LPKingsFan]

Wow, great for Cleveland. Lebron was legendary.

And, final note, classy of Draymond to wait out the celebration and congratulate LeBron. No other Warrior in sight...

 

[VF21]

I was never a big Lebron James fan ... until tonight. Heart...determination...and more heart.

Now that the curse is broken in Cleveland, it's our turn!

 

[PurpleHaze]

LeBron James is greatest all around basketball player since Magic Johnson (who also played multiple positions). Michael Jordan probably better but he didn't, couldn't play every position nor guard every one. Oh, predicted Cavs in 7 - somehow it happened

 

[VF21]

And the shallow part me truly enjoyed hearing MVP chants for LBJ in Oracle.
