Wow BB. Kerr had migraines during the series? The hell if I knew they were this bad.

It explains his lack of adjustments and general disorientation. 

We now have put "coaches migraine levels" into our capping because in a series that comes down to 4 minutes of monstrosity basketball, it mattered!

Scal, this is no excuse, but if you've ever had a migraine you know it is one of the worst feelings in the world (in terms of a non-medical emergency). I'd rather have the flu than a migraine. I can't do anything with a migraine. Can't even watch TV, much less coach  basketball game. That's why the guy should have recused himself or just left the in-game stuff to Luke and the assistants, and just been a figurehead (kind of like Bird when he was coaching the Pacers). He had no business coaching the team (i.e., making important in-game decisions, adjustments, etc) in that condition (if, as they claim, the migraines were debilitating...which I believe they were). And the proof is in the pudding of his coaching, which was awful (I mean, Mark Jackson awful).

Blaming coaches having migraines the reason Steph Curry and Klay Thompson didn't show up for game 7 as if he was gonna bench them or something with the championship on the line.



Hilarious.......

Your guys' fade material would have been enough for the average bettor, for me it was just 100% reassurance. "NBIU" and " The dubs will win because they have to"? Stupid acronyms and names for statistical angles.....not needed. That's the whole point. This series was one that was not to be capped; it was impossible. You experts thought the historical stats would bend over and allow you to bang em with no trouble. Come on buddy! Ask some of the other stat gurus. You were late to the party brotha, it's ok to admit it. I had a series bet on Cavs +475 for a grand and won 6 of the 7 games in this series. Come correct bro. IM not like bobmaloog or some of the other clowns in here. Read the posts and you will know who I was rolling with since game 1. All the crap I took from you and your boyfriend and some of the others who are nowhere to be found; it's bs. Tooting my own horn? Sure. Keep toting BBs horn for him. A mature hour trolling? I got one phrase for ya "covers God", "the proof is in the pudding". WWATFC For Life! You don't like me becuase I don't bow down to you and your boyfriend like a lot of people do on here. You challenge MY INTELLECT? Mine? The fact that you couldn't see this and the fact that you relied on a homer to reaffirm your pick, yikes. Maybe this was your guys' plan the whole time. After all, your two guys couldn't have been that naive right? Maybe this was the plan to make others think you liked the dubs? Probably not. The dialogue from both of you proved you had no clue what your were talking about. I was just looking for a bit of ownership but that doesn't exist in here, not even with the "gods and experts" like you and your toot horn boy. I'm done here. I should just stick to the one liners like all the other guys in here but it's good to get that last word in this series. 




"A write-up???" he writes, with highfalutin disdain! (My additional question marks added for emphasis).

Yes Achilles, a write-up, the single most valuable contribution you can make to this board, or any capping website, just as what BegginerBoy provided here. 

Win or lose, he put his neck out there to receive a gold medal ribbon the guillotine blade.

You?

You not only pretentiously mock the notion of providing a write-up, something you promised and hypocritically backed out of, but you call on others, with Bator-like reputation, to insinuate your selection, as though other here are dutifully taking notes on your posts within the threads of OTHERS!

The level of pomposity is so extraordinary it would make the trio of Rex Ryan, Muhammed Ali and Donald Trump look like Mother Theresa.

His own pick not legtimized. Here to criticize. The quintessential essence of Covers Troll...epitomized.



BB, 

I never had a migraine thankfully but my best friend did for years and he agrees they are crippling. Unfortunately, we have to put that in our cap prior to tip and if I am not going to fade a clearly hampered Curry, I simply cannot take the Cavs based on Kerr's migraines. So no harm, no foul but an interesting post-game wrap up note nonetheless. And in a game that tight...

Hooting and hollering about someone else or your own nonexistent pick AFTER the final buzzer sounds. Classic amateur hour trolling.

At least put your feet to the fire if you are going to attack someone else. Sheesh...

This team won 88 freaking games and was at home for a game 7 to defend their crown you think all of sudden they was not motivated?

If he had a serious migraine he would not have been on the bench. Totally debilitating.

That's true.  I had one the other night and I was puking so violently for a while. They're really painful too.

But a regular migraine is not as bad as a severe one. A severe migraine is worse than even a cluster headache

Not sure which was more obvious.....The super bowl this year, or this year's NBA finals.

What do you think dribble? I think both scored a perfect 10 in terms of them wanting to make sure even the dumbest joe would notice something fishy

so coaches don't give speeches during the half to motivate their team and win?

(In fact, I have spent much of the past decade joyously shitting on Cleveland for its miseries … but really, I’m so happy for you now!) Last night was one of the greatest moments in neutral sports fandom history, joining the likes of Giants/Patriots I and II, Saints over Colts, Sox over Yankees, D-Backs over Yankees, anyone else over the Yankees, and Tiger’s first Masters victory. It was a rapturous night, the joy still echoing out into the next day and well beyond. I cried when they won last night. Real tears. I don’t even know why.

But as we exult in LeBron James accomplishing his impossible mission, let us not forget that it came at the expense of the Warriors, who are choking shitbags. Yes, for every heartwarming story, there is an equal and opposite target for our collective schadenfreude. And so we must take a moment today to pause the celebration and get in our trolling while we can. Because you, Golden State Warriors … you are garbage. You are obnoxious, overhyped, namby-pamby frauds.

I can’t believe I liked this team a month ago. But between Draymond punching everyone in the person, and trophy-humping owner Joe Lacob trying to take credit for their success, and Steph Curry tossing around ill-advised behind-the-back passes (I swear that Curry believes he needs to take longer shots and attempt dumber passes in order to regain his mojo any time he loses it), and Ayesha Curry truthering away losses, and our own Kevin Draper turning any mention of his team into an opportunity to give the rest of the Deadspin staff a tutorial about how the game of basketball works, these f u c k faces have fallen from grace faster than Chewbacca Mom. It’s the fastest heel turn in sports since … since, well, LeBron left Cleveland the first time.

Frankly, this team deserved to lose. The Cavaliers didn’t win this series by accident. Last night, the Warriors got outhustled by Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. Do you know how hard it is to make Kevin Love look like a capable defender? Was Golden State even aware it was the last game? Maybe you believe, as I do, that desire in sports is sometimes a bizarre quirk in the cosmic infrastructure that comes and goes for reasons outside of your control, even if you happen to be a world-class athlete. But even so, it was jarring to see Irving playing his guts out while Curry looked like he was auditioning to star in a Justin Bieber Vine. Sometimes all the clichés and hustle and grit are real, and last night the Cavs went for every loose ball like they were sheltering a baby from gunfire. Those balls were THEIRS. The Warriors, by contrast, played like they were waiting for their inherent awesomeness to arrive. They played like (say it with me) GLORY BOYS.

This is America, and in America we only like winners when they win. You can win 73 games in the regular season and exhaust your resources in the process (rest your starters next time!), but you better f u c k ing finish the job, and you REALLY better not blow a two-game lead to a coachless opponent. Otherwise, you are dead to me. You may as well have not played this season at all.

And so we close out this NBA season by offering a hearty F U C K YOU to these pathetic underachievers for failing to live up to their own impossibly high standards. F u c k Curry. F u c k him trotting his kids out every night and inevitably turning them into little Jaden Smiths in the process. F u c k Lacob, who almost certainly lamented the fact that he had resort to f u c k i n g a human last night instead of the Larry O’Brien trophy. F u c k Draymond, who nearly stole the title away from Cleveland with a barrage of Satan-mandated threes that he didn’t deserve to make. SUPER f u c k Anderson Varejao, who is the worst flopper in a league flooded with them … a man who clearly grew out his Fry Guy hair so that he could dramatically whip it around in front of a gullible ref. F u c k Mo Speights’s head mole. F u c k Harrison Barnes for being Harrison Barnes. And f u c k these spoiled fans … who took a entertaining basketball team and retrofitted it to their own professional delusions. They’re like Pats fans who take credit for Belichick’s genius, and they all deserve to drive off a bridge gap. F u c k the Warriors, may they forever rot in hell.

See you next season!"
 This piece of trash expresses your feelings??!! Really? You've expressed many times your love for the Warriors!  What a pos fan you are.

DRIBBLE4LIFE

What a response, coming from a delusional psychopath, maybe I should post your past links to confirm...name calling get's you nowhere (except to the understanding that you are one very immature adult suffering from bipolarism). evidently you have no comprehension what the terminology of 'being labeled' even means.. so I'll say it again..."you're labeled" get it?  but what do you care, you could give a shitt, so why respond...now go play with your keyboard, and pound yourself...have fun clown

or post ONE link, just one! confiming your ludicrous observation that the Super Bowl & the NBA Finals 'were fixed' and what procedure was initiated....come on now, here's your big chance, explain to the entire forum  HOW and WHO .......links???? oh I'm sorry, their are none, all this has been created from a delusional mind...take your meds, and go to sleep...

The first thing Kerr does after the finals is take flight to see his doctors. You think this guy was only thinking about coaching the team? I highly doubt it. Read the article below and you'll see. It is a shameful confession, imo, and the guy should have let Walton coach the damn team. If winning a championship is not the most important thing to you, then you best move along and let someone else take over. No shame in what he says, but a shame in saying it (and thinking it) amist a Finals run. There is plenty of time to think big-picture after the fact, but not during. Here are some telling quotes from the article, to show ou where Kerr's "head" was at:


"Golden State coach Steve Kerr didn't catch Cleveland's championship parade, or LeBron James holding the Larry O'Brien Trophy aloft, or J.R. Smith's bare-chested he-man poses. He did not catch these things because, at the time, he was jetting to the Duke Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, to meet with doctors -- again -- to press for answers as to why nearly a year after back surgery, he's still experiencing searing pain and dizziness."

Back when his team was leading 3-1 in the Finals, Kerr rubbed his weary eyes during a practice and tried to put it in perspective.

"For a lack of a better way of putting it,'' Kerr said, gesturing toward the court, "this is all bulls---. It's so much fun, and it's rewarding to be part of a team, and to have a quest and to try and win a championship. It's great thinking we've established this legacy and hung a banner, and all of that is very important in terms of bringing joy to the fans' lives -- that's where the true importance of what we do lies -- but in the grand scheme of things, it's still bulls---. I've found that out.''

Kerr, of course, knows some will misconstrue his sentiments that a championship simply shouldn't hold so much importance.

"But it's true,'' Kerr said.

Wow. He called coaching his NBA team bullshi*. I understand the perspective, as do we all, because he's comparing it to his health which is in comparison priceless (to him). But talk about saying something corporately incorrect!
