that reference is too dated, fam.

play this song on a Bluetooth speaker and smoke a vape pen with me at the victory parade though!


i made a big mistake not taking the parade day off work last year and i won't make it again this year (if it happens, of course!)

Kyrie seems like a real shithead, to me

I feel similarly.

kill yourself U little bitch

don't make me go insane in this thread

But 4 real, though, I don't C Cleveland making much of a stand, tonight. I very much want them to, but I don't believe they can.

with Andrew Bogut out, the game at home, and Steph Curry playing like hot garbage, the Cav's have a very good chance tonight in my book

I don't give a shit so I'm playing final fantasy vi instead.

Honestly, the only thing I root 4 in these dank depth times is 90s Bulls validation. I want 4 Lebron to get injured and 4 the Cavs to pull out a miracle without him, thus validating our Chicago legacy, ensuring no more "GSW greatest season ever" and much less "Lebron good as MJ."

As we know, though, the Warriors could come back and win, tonight (currently down 18 with under four minutes left in the third quarter), and they will still have lost too many playoff games to be the winningest team of all time.  That ship has sailed.  Take comfort!

And I'm not sure the Bulls ever trailed by more than 18 points in that entire postseason, let alone lost several games by 20+. And they won that game against the Magic.

Wow. Curry will be suspended 4 game seven, I guess. Brutal.

Heat's Haslem suspended 4 throwing mouthpiece

Curry is garbage. What a fluke run. Can't wait to C Bron rip some hearts out Sunday.

Haha, a 73 win fluke team! Last night was ridiculous. Golden State isn't playing their brand of basketball and R allowing the Cavs size to dominate the game. The sloppy turnovers R grating. Most of the fouls from Curry were such shit calls and I have to wonder how complicit the referees R in this shit sometimes.

I think I am still rooting 4 the Warriors. Although Chrono being such a whiny bitch is making it hard to decide now.

Still rooting 4 the Cavs, over here.  A Hillary-style, lesser-of-two-evils thing.  (Relative to the '90s Bulls, of course.) But I still think Golden State'll win.  Honestly.  So many morons on the Cleveland roster.  Home game (and all that that implies).  So many outliers on which these last two games have swung.  In the end, I'll survive either outcome.  The Warriors have been so often and so hilariously bad in the playoffs that there's no possible best-ever arguments worth making, anymore.  I'll take that.  And James, win or lose, will still have lost the majority of the Finals series in which he has played.  #bigpicture

I didn't do this. I reacted to someone saying "fuck your shitty team 4 life", which is a shitty thing to say. Thanks!

Curry should be suspended 4 his antics.

Stephen Curry is history's greatest monster.

He's very petulant. Many players on this team R. They don't perform that well under adversity because they don't have much.

Curry also reaches in on every single defensive possession throughout the entire game. Even when he doesn't get those fouls called it's mind boggling. It's so poor. I think he's playing through pain and it's affecting him mentally. He hasn't been strong enough.

Winning has papered over many of the cracks in this team and they have one last game to get it right.

Even in the event of a loss which will necessarily be labeled a "massive disappointment" and a "terrible end to a 73-win season", I will still have pride in what they accomplished.

As U should, no doubt.  They've been disgustingly great!  I may hate the team, but they're obviously still amazing and one of the handful of best teams ever assembled--win or lose.  I hate LBJ, too, but he's certainly the second-best player I've ever seen.  It's not even close.

Getting dominated by the guileless Tristan Thompson hurts more than anything
