NBA (Basketball)

I'm rooting for the Warriors because I'm a Klay Thompson fan, but Delly is making me a believer. I love the way he plays. It's rare to see a NBA player exhibit such passion and effort. If the Cavs win, I will be happy for him and the city of Cleveland.

I still think GS has what it takes to win in 7, though.

Yeh, I don't mind which team gets up either, they both deserve success this year. Being an Aussie, it's hard not to get excited about how Delly has stepped up. Nothing but heart in the way he plays. Kyrie's shoe's are pretty big to fill, but so far he has definitely held his own!

Recognise last night!!  I only saw my first Warriors game in the flesh last year so I guess i'm post-bandwagon Splash era fan but damn, it's been some ride!  If Lebron wins this series then fair play, he is cementing his status… But I gotta have faith in that we are gonna do it in six. (fingers crossed!)

watching a lot the play-off this year and…very impressive to see the respect of the basket fondament and confidence showed by OKC! very beautiful basket done! i really do enjoy to watch this 5! this team! a great one ! une bonne cuvée!!

[seanocono]

These Playoffs have been amazing.  Watch the Warriors rattle off 3 straight, though.

[hajduk]

3 straight…? they have really to be back to play as a team again. as champion they still are...
it is really not the case actually...

[seanocono]

2 of the 3 would be at home.  One game at a time.

[hajduk]

if GS make it, it will be for sure, insane games to watch!

[seanocono]

Agreed.  Every remaining game in the Playoffs will be great theater.

So tasteful…..

I feel like they could have added a couple more diamonds in the basketball. Looks like there are some wide-open spaces. 

[Giles]

Yeah, and look of all that unused space around "World Champions" and 2019.  Such missed opportunities…

[Wlemon]

Best not mention that. I don't want the person who designed this to be second-guessing him/herself. I'd hate to be on my death bed, wondering how many diamonds I could have stuffed in between the cracks of a ring.

This has inspired a new term for my vocabulary: gaud-awful.

Usually when Canada has a chance to show Americans the classy way to do things they don't wind up out-tackying the good ole USA, which, to their credit, is no mean feat.

[steelworker]

You want elegant  I refer you to this- subtle and understated-

For effortless tacky it's American all the way. All others can only aspire to greatness.

[Giles]

Oh, that's much more subtle….

[BloodnThunder]

One of these sports teams needs to hire @Warner to design their championship ring.  He'd someone manage to make it over the top while avoiding the gaudiness of the above.

[ROman]

RIP Kobe Bryant. Very sad.

[Giles]

Yes, extremely sad…....

terrible news to wake up to. i saw that obama and the rest were tweeting about kobe and i was like 'huh. what's going on'. then i clicked more news and realised what had happened.. tbh, still in disbelief and shocked. i never watched the NBA but even then you know kobe was the GOAT..
