Grow up and deal unless you've some kind of Oregon lover? And just to make sure I heard correctly, you actually still watch the NBA? Interesting.Throwdown":2m5hio3h said:Imma be real honest I had mixed emotions.
Like I'm happy as hell we're gonna see the inevitable collapse of the thunder into a sniveling pile of if I only's. And the fact that now I can root for KD unless he's playing 'Bron or the Grizzlies, and I wouldn't ultimately be sad to see him finally get a ring.
But on the other hand, the warriors? Really?! The one team I can't stand to watch?
I'm sure a lot of people said this when LeBron went to the Heat. Instead what happened is TV ratings went through the roof. It's always great for sports leagues when there's a true villain.JSeahawks":2k5vfi6d said:This is terrible for the nba. Regular season and even playoffs just became completely irrelevent for the next few years. Just pencil in gs vs Cleveland and don't bother with the rest. I was hoping he'd go to Boston.
I think this officially ends my interest in the NBA.

True but there still needs to be more parity in the NBA. Now everytime GS loses, everyone will cheer. I'm sure they'll get another title or two, but the years they don't everyone will call them chokers. Miami winning only 2 out of 4 straight finals is an overall "disappointment" to some people. Expectations are huge now for GS.

OKC is humped for a while. Russ isn't staying, KD & Ibaka gone. What do you even do, here? Trade & tank? Try to make a push with a Westbrook/Oladipo/Adams trio? (Jeez, fantasy folks, run out and grab Westbrook, he's about to chuck about 40ppg)
Spurs grab Gasol a couple of years too late. Definitely an offensive improvement over 2016 Timmy. Interesting handful of bigs on the Spurs ... Gasol, Boban, Aldridge, kicking the tires on Bertrans. Backcourt desperately needs some work, though. At least with this round of free agency, Tony Parker's contract doesn't look -quite- so horrifying and Green is downright bargain basement, making that Austin Rivers level money. I can't really fault the Spurs for that... only realistic option to pursue at PG was Conley and dude got like 30/year from Memphis.
Barring something extra weird happening, looks like a Spurs-Warriors WCF is a safe bet with Spurs' only real shot being to snag the #1 seed (Which probably ain't gonna happen, but sports are weird.)
