Bruh you know how far behind Oakland Cleveland is?
Your own state calls your city the mistake by the lake.

Lebron abandoned you twice... City has a legacy of losing

Nigga we aint talkin about which city got the best beaches and resorts we talking about your GS team that is broken and will probably start the tank process once they realize Gaymond and Stephanie can't make the playoffs without 15 hall of Famers on the team and now they getting emotional talking about maxing out two players with the most terrible career altering/ending injuries you can suffer in the sport of basketball its like an MLB pitcher with one arm or missing two fingers

Nigga you fucked and your NFL team bouncing to Vegas kinda like when Cleveland moved to Bmore......:lol:

Hard times ahead for you Oakland sports fans how the Oakland A's doing????


but cheers though you front running bitches had a decent run

I'm out

I encourage everyone to read the recent articles written on the impact Steph has
From coaches and people who get paid to break down the game
Not the ppl trying to out Stephen a and skip, Stephen a and skip

Idk how many times does a dude who have draw this much attention with or without the ball before what he does gets diminished into how many assists he gets lol

If the warriors scored on this possession he probably didn't get the assist
But if you want to tell me that 3 of the raptors absolute best defenders including a defensive player of the year on one person didn't cause whoever it was who made a pass to a wide open dude to get an easy 24 hour fitness shot

There's nothing to discuss

Plus Curry is a small guy in NBA standards and it is difficult for small guys to completely take over a game that physically

TV Ratings: NBA Finals Game 6 Dunks on Competition
By WILL THORNE

nba-finals-game-6.jpeg

CREDIT: AP
Last night’s sixth and final game of the 2019 NBA finals ended in a historic victory for the Toronto Raptors.

The Canadian team became the first from outside the United States to claim the title, beating the defending champion Golden State Warriors 114-110 in a tense game.

In terms of the ratings, Game 6 on ABC was down slightly on Game 5 in the overnight household rating in metered markets. Last night’s game came in at a 13.2, as opposed to the 13.4 managed by the previous encounter.

With a preliminary Live+Same Day rating of 4.9, the 2019 season ender was down 6% on Game 5, and finished as the second highest rated game of the series. Game 1 scored a 3.9, Game 2 a 3.8, and Game 3 a 3.7. Last night’s total viewership figure of 13.9 million viewers was also down slightly (3%) on the penultimate game, which was watched by 14.3 million total viewers.


Overall, the 2019 finals were on on the lower end of the ratings in comparison with the Warriors-Cavaliers duals of the past four seasons. The below average numbers were likely due to in part to the fact LeBron James did not take part, and in part to the fact one of the two teams was from north of the border.

Unsurprisingly, these finals games have been smashing records for NBA viewership in Canada, with game 6 delivering a combined average audience of 8 million viewers across simulcast coverage on TSN, CityTV, ABC (in Canada) and RDS, making it the country’s most-watched NBA game of all time.

Elsewhere on Thursday, the series finales of “Abby’s” and “A.P. Bio” were swept aside by the NBA juggernaut. The former only managed a 0.3 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and 1.25 million viewers, while the latter didn’t fare much better with a 0.3 rating and 1.4 million total viewers. That “A.P. Bio” rating is the lowest the show achieved throughout its two-season run.

Lebron played well... it just that they lost a step that year... the peremeter defense was bad and they couldnt get past the wade injury. Wade was so bad that playoffs that he was sitting against the Bulls and complaining about minutes
I never understood the idea that Wade showed LeBron how to win.

I never understood the idea that Wade showed LeBron how to win.

Wade doesn't get enough props for how he handled that. He's an all-time great on his own and was still in his prime when Lebron got there and he understood that they couldn't win unless Lebron was the alpha dog. The first year Lebron was trying to be too much of a team player. He didn't know how to handle the situation against the Mavs. He was deferring too much. He felt like he came to Wade's team and was often planting in the corner watching Wade down the stretch. I remember Wade was yelling at him in game 6 about it. Wade specifically said he told Lebron that this was Lebron's team now (after the loss to the Mavs) and that's when they made the leap. He didn't teach Lebron how to win, but he definitely helped him make the final leap.

Those two years they won was some of the best basketball I've seen two guys play together. They were wrecking shop on both ends of the court.

facts..

but its crazy how these fans are now...

Its like you CANNOT appreciate Steph Lebron KD and Kawhi.

but they use the same metrics to defend one and hate on another.

Remember when EVERYONE killed lebron who will probably go down in league history as playing the MOST minutes because of Olympics playoffs and finals and world championships for LOAD MANAGEMENT?

But Kawaii took off damn near 20 games this year... crickets.

EVERYONE conveniently forgets Steph was seriously injured this season.

And that Boogie was coming off his SECOND major injury?

Steph lost KD and Klay..

but Lebron lost Kyrie and Love before and no one wanted to acknowledge it.

Steph has NEVER played in the playoffs WITHOUT an injury...

this is FACTS.

My point is ALWAYS the same.

This is the NBA

EVERY SINGLE DAMN CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM HAS DEALT WITH THESE FORMS OF ADVERSITY...

its NOT excuses

its FACTS

but that doesn't INVALIDATE your win or excuse your lost

but its ALL part of the process.

What Steph Klay and KD did was courageous

why does the public need BLOOD to acknowledge these players greatness?

(I will not go into how these fans HATE black athletes and dehumanizes right now , its Friday)
Truthfully, I don't get into that best player in the world shit.

I love skilled players doing their best.

I like great coaching and adjustments

That being said

There is no player that has gone to two different teams and has been to 8 straight finals. That same player gets diminished in favor of the player of the month.

SAS: "The rich are getting richer............Why play the season?"o_O



That was pretty dumb, because nobody knew how he would turn out from the achilles or how long it would take

DeMarcus never had the best work ethic and bigs normally don't get achilles tears. Elton Brand was a role player after his.

DeMarcus wanted to go to the Lakers and was rebuffed.

If they actually had a decent team around him and role players who could shoot it would be even more apparent

The reason they can run two and three players at him is because nobody else can shoot besides Cook

People talk about shooters around Lebron, but Golden State could have used some outside of KD and Klay. I was thinking during the series that Nick Young would be of more use than McKinnie.
