Everyone knows the inevitable outcome. This finals could be as discounted as '99 Spurs Championship with David Robinson and Tim Duncan over Ewing and the Knicks during a shortened season.

IT'S TEH POLITICALS!

Did Ewing even play during that series? I thought the narrative was that the Knicks could keep winning in spite of him.

He played the first 2 games then bowed out. Knicks barely made it as the 8th seed

Oh look, another Heat player falling down on a 3-point attempt and getting a phantom call, for the millionth time.

Fuck, what a letdown. LeBron played his ass off, but no bench players stepped up. Danny Green is no Robert Horry. And Marqueef Morris literally throwing the game away, fucking Raytarded.

I must be cursed as a sports fan.

I watch the Padres bow out after struggling to piece together makeshift pitching staffs because their two best pitchers get injured conveniently before the playoffs start.

Then as I shift my focus that much more to my favorite basketball team they proceed to blow a potential series clincher by missing multiple shots when having the chance to cement a victory and one of their best players is noticeably hobbling, which means he's probably going to be conveniently out for the next two games.

he'll play "injured" and win.

Imagine making a mistake at your job and some lowlife you don't even know threatens your life for it.
Freaking clowns like that give real sports fans a bad name

Traveling has go to be the least enforced rule in sports. Either that or it's the rule I understand the least.

I mean, I don't like the idea of the Lakers not getting that basket (incidentally it's being challenged for something else) but how is it not traveling?

Fucking refs on all these charging calls and "blocking" fouls against the Lakers. #DefundTheRefs

The championship was determined long before the series started.

Only Mofo could find something to complain about when his team is winning by 30+ points

Fucking refs on all these charging calls and "blocking" fouls against the Lakers. #DefundTheRefs
