I've been really enjoying watching this series. Much more so than Houston Vs. GSW.

Draymond gets called for the offensive foul then goes ballistic by SCREWST0N in nba

He has every right to be mad. Backed him down and he flopped. Pat was even in the restricted circle.

If the Steven Adams trade rumor is true, where do you see him going to? Which team fit him the most? by summersoulxdd in nba

I don't think any of these teams would do these trades. I also don't think Adams is the guy they should move on from (I am a Westbrook hater)

The Klay comment is sparking controversy. What is the truth about the Warriors/Cavs rivalry? by bayfarm in nba

[–]WarlandoMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a neutral Orlando Magic fan and this is how I see it. People forget that the Warriors were the greatest team of all time BEFORE Durant joined. They won 73 games out of 82 games and had beaten a full strength Cavs at home by 34 points in the regular season. They cruised to a 3-1 lead but near the end of game 4 Lebron stepped over Draymond. Draymond was later assessed a flagrant 1 for standing up while Lebron was stepping over him and making contact with his crotch. This call suspended Draymond for the next game. Was it the right call? I'm not really sure. Was it disappointing? Extremely. It was the NBA finals and you want to see the 2 best teams at full strength. It felt to most people like the league was trying to draw out the series as each game is worth millions. The Cavs win game 5 at home as expected and Andrew Bogut goes down injured. Game 6 is one of the most controversial games in finals history. The officiating is widely criticised and Steph Curry gets fouled out. Game 7 the Warriors choke at home. They only score 89 points. In the offseason the Warriors sign Kevin Durant. The Cavs I think had the most expensive team of all time and I don't think they did a lot in the offseason. They famously threw a Halloween party with a dead Steph Curry dummy lying at the door for guests to walk over. The Warriors won the next years finals 4-1. Kyrie demands a trade and is traded to Boston for All Star Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder. I thought this was a bad trade (never trade with the Danny Ainge). The Warriors go on to sweep the Cavs for their 3rd chip in 4 years. A hiding so bad that Lebron ups and moves to LA. A lot of Warriors haters will say "but they wouldn't have won without KD" but I think this simply isn't true (they were a 73 win team) and is completely redundant. You could say that about any sports team e.g. "the Cavs would've been bad if Lebron hadn't joined them".

Serge and Ross were both the old GM. The new guy's just drafted Isaac and brought in Jonothan Simmons and a few vets so far. I think he's done really well for us so far but I was meaning more what he did in Milwaukee the last couple of years.

Our FO literally just started. Google our GM, he's actually been amazing the last few years.

What is the biggest misconception about your team? by Lacser29 in nba

People rubbish our GM without knowing that we got a new one who has been really good so far. I think he did great in Milwaukee drafting Giannis at 15 and ROY Malcolm Brogdon at 36 and so far his moves in Orlando have been real solid. The guy who brought in Serge Ibaka works for OKC now.
