Rather easy in the end. Close, close call on MVP with game 3 obviously winning it for KD.

Very strange the bar I was in was in full support for the 'impossible to like' warriors but hey sure what do I know.

New York was pretty much a Dubs city this week...

Kerr is known to have been a cocky little so-and-so  in his own playing days

You worship at the altar of Cam Newton ffs!

So LeBron played the final three games with a banjaxed hand after punching a whiteboard in the aftermath of game one. The official line is that it was in relation to the charge/blocking call being overturned between him and KD bit I don't think JR will be phoning him any time soon.

I like Cam because he single-handedly won Auburn it's first championship since the 1940s. Look, I have little against Kerr personally. I was just pointing out he wasn't perfect nor the only socially forward voice in the NBA. Pop being in Texas probably makes his stances more meaningful too, in Oakland Kerr is preaching to the choir. He just happens to be the face of an organisation that is very hard to like.

NBA play is at an all-time high but GSW have drained so much of the interest out of for me and probably a lot of others too. KD leaving a contender to join the best team in the league was some weak-ass stuff. Even LeBron forming a super team in Miami was less agregious than what he did.

Still really angry that that almost all the Cavs rolled over and played dead, esp. LBJ.

LeLaker. This must mean the Lakers are working on another big move because LeBron wouldn't sign to be on a team that can't contend right away.

Anything to stop the Warriors, even a resurgent Lakers.

This time, no televised Decision. I failed against him last time, but he came back and won a championship for a trophy-starved city. Now it's basement time for us. Maybe the Indians can win it, or perhaps the Browns can win three games.

If Leonard ends up at the Lakers as well (although that will probably not be to next year), if could make things very interesting

Lakers was always the lead contender by all accounts but a small part of me wished he'd go to San Antonio. LeBron and Pop together Vs the Warriors would be something else.

Fair play to LeBron as this will be his biggest challenge yet. Whether it's Kawhi or PG13, there'll be one more star joining this summer at least bit make no mistake, the Lakers are a poor outfit. The West will be much tougher for him. Boston and Philly will have the run of the East for years to come.

Did Paul George not sign a 4 year deal with OKC?

Boston and 6ers definitely look to be the best but also like the Pacers and the Bucks in the east

Just looked it up. George staying in OKC alright, missed that altogether.

Pacers are good but need someone at least as good as Oladipo to push on and become contenders. Same for Milwaukee, Giannis needs help.

Kam Chancellor has had to retire due to risk of paralysis. Was a damn good football player.

[Minder]

Is this a basketball move for James or a lifestyle one ? Even if they get Leonard you would doubt it's enough
