NBA 2017-2018

This current roster seems terrible, because of the super team climate of the NBA.  

 

This I agree with. Still think his supporting cast sucks ass though. They seem like the same as 2007, standing around waiting for LBJ to save them.

Fixed it.

I figured it was Lebron.

Here is the box score to game 4 of the 2007 NBA finals.  Can you all pick any player that you would trade on our current roster?  Maybe Z to have a big man. I don't think I would take anyone else on the roster.  I guess Damon Jones is on the coaching staff LOL.

The last 28 NBA Finals has had at least  one of these 6 players, Kobe, Tim Duncan, Jordan, Hakeem, or Shaq.  

Somehow edited out LeBron

Would Bird and Magic get it back to 1980?

This team is way worse than people want to admit. I know a lot is LeBron is the offense. Every set is basically run through him and he makes the final decisions, etc. But this is still hard to fathom:

No,  1990 would be the combo breaker.

This is crazy but not surprising.

Damon Jones looks like he ate Damon Jones from 2007. Also I wouldn't QQ about having Eric "The Glove" Snow. He'd be fun to watch guard Curry.

Couldn’t remember who the Pistons beat

It's been awhile, but I felt like his "glove" had a hole in it (LOL see what I did there?), by the time it was 2007.

How about Colangelo of the Sixers possibly having a number of fake twitter accounts and putting out insider info, trashing players, etc?

Gonna get him fired?

Still have dumbasses, to this day, try to throw out the old "Amon Ones" joke, whenever his name is brought up like it's their new/original joke.

lol, I see what you did there. Pretty sure Eric Snow had a triple double in a playoff OT win that run.

At the very least, it's fucking hilarious if true, especially since one of the tweets from one of those accounts was defending Colangelo over the size of the collar on his shirt. Just the thought of someone being so salty about that, they create a burner to respond makes me laugh. A lot.

Besides, it's always great when someone pulls a Durant on social media!

First thing I thought.

Yeah reading about all this Colangelo stuff has been hilarious. I think its even more amazing that someone took the time to figure all this shit out. 

I think with they should just sit Love tonight to give him  a couple extra days. 

Cavs have stunk early in the series on the road. Just take their lumps in this one and move on.  this way it delays their unveiling of their strategy against GS until game 2.

Four years have gone by and the more things change, the more they stay the same.  Cavs/Warriors are in the finals, and thavoice pretends he pays attention to the NBA for a couple weeks.
