Random Sportsball!!

Durant is leavin.

What a collapse, double digit leads in Game 6 and Game 7 and lose both.

I mean, even without Curry and Thompson I think they'd still be in pretty good shape. Ya got Green, Livingston, Bogut, Iguodala, Barbosa, Barnes, Speights...

I Love OKC. Love Durant & Westbrook and woulda been real happy for 'em getting the win. But I can't say I wouldn't have been disappointed. From their 24-0 start, all the record breaking, the memorable games (like Curry's game winning 3 pointer against OKC with 0.6 left in OT!), Curry getting injured and missing playoff games, that 3-1 comeback for the conference final... well, the season's just been fun as hell to watch. What the Warriors have done for the game is unlike anything since Jordan and the Bulls. I feel like I'm truly witnessing history, and if they don't pull off the championship I'll feel cheated.


I neither like nor dislike Lebron, but J.R. Smith has always been a favorite of mine. Shump and Love, Kyrie Irving is dope. So sure I want GSW to win, but I'd be happy to see those dudes on Cavs take home a ring.

To Gunners he went.

Stanley Cup Finals Game 5 tonight in Pittsburgh.

The Stanley Cup will be in the building, Pittsburgh with a chance to win a championship at home, the first time a Pittsburgh team will be in that position since the Pirates over 50 years ago.

Expectations huge right now, I'm actually kind of worried what will happen in the city win or lose. I'd like to think we're better than Vancouver or Montreal, but we're not.

That said, so very, very pumped. Really exciting times right now for Penguins fans.

What... we won the cup not that long ago... or do you mean closing out the championship in a home game?

EDIT - holy ***learn to read me...

Even if we lose, wouldn't game 7 be a home game as well?

Yeah, game 7 would be at home if it gets that far.

And yeah, I meant winning in Pittsburgh. Multiple Super Bowls and Stanley Cups won in those years, obviously.

I hope it doesn't go to seven games though...

I hope it ends tonight.

I can tell you, though, that as of Monday the cheapest tickets were $1000. As of yesterday, $1300 w/ luxury tickets pricing at $10k.

I don't want to think what game 7 tickets would cost.

I hope it does go to game 7, I don't want to shave yet.

Shaving is always optional.

Edit: though I wouldn't mind a bit of a trim myself. My neckbeard is getting a little unruly.

Welp, no shave.

Draymond Green suspended for game 5....

From Reggie Miller's twitter, "Would bet my right arm if this series was even at 2-2 Draymond wouldn't be suspended for GM5. What happened in OKC was way worse.."

To be clear, he wasn't suspended just for the nut shot, but the accumulation of flagrant foul points, which shows a pattern of behavior. At least they gave LeBron a tech for walking over him.

I'm basically fine with it. All those flagrants gotta add up eventually, or why have them at all? I don't think it matters anyway; game 5 is in Oakland, and they almost certainly close it out.

The other Bay Area team probably goes down to the Ice Stillers tonight, though.

So smooth, also yay cup!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Hah.

Disappointed, but real happy for my man J.R.



Major respect to LeBron and Kyrie.

Lionel Messi (29) retired from the National Team. That was a surprise for me. He could have still one good shot at the world cup in 2 years.

I don't think it's official yet, he`s just pissed Argentina lost again. He`ll be back for the world cup.

He's a sore loser.

If he was serious about retiring he would have mentioned it before the tournament.

Oklahoma City, good night.

Nah, KD was a star but he wasn't the team.

Like when he was hurt and they missed the playoffs?

Obviously going through some denial, but thats to be expected.

I'm optimistic.

Sunday Serie A starts again. Excited to see my team coached by De Boer, Mancini was *** worthless.

Now that Duncan retired, OKC might have a shot at making it to the Finals for now on.

You might have missed some off-season news

I am super excited to watch Russ go full hero-ball and put up 57/13/19 every night as he drags that team to 48 wins
