Share this: Paul Pierce is doubling down. The former Boston Celtics star boldly claimed after the Golden State Warriors took a 2-0 series lead in the NBA Finals that Kevin Durant is the best basketball player in the world, and he didn’t hesitate to mention it again after Durant helped the Dubs beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-113 in Wednesday’s Game 3. First, we bring you to Pierce’s Twitter. Truth Hurts #truthjuice 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️get over it I told y'all — Paul Pierce (@paulpierce34) June 8, 2017 And he said more of the same on ESPN’s postgame coverage. The Truth (and Dwight Howard) are siding with Durant over LeBron James. Thumbnail photo via Kirby Lee/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link

LeBron James Loses Patience With Reporter After Foolish Question On NBA Finals
Share this: LeBron James was in no mood for mindless questions Sunday night. After the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered a second straight loss to the Golden State Warriors to open the NBA Finals, James was asked to envision a scenario in which Cleveland didn’t protect home court. This, of course, would mean a Warriors series sweep, which James reminded the reporter in belittling fashion. And judging by how the first two games of the series have panned out, a Golden State series win in four games looks like a distinct possibility.

Kevin Durant Stares Down Rihanna After She Yells ‘Brick’ At His Free Throw
Musical star Rihanna was one of many celebrities at Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals at Oracle Arena on Thursday night, and she did her best to rattle Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant. In the second half, Durant was at the free throw line when Rihanna yelled “brick.” After hitting a 3-point shot a bit later, he stared her down while running back on defense. Durant wasn’t fazed at all, as he finished with a game-high 38 points in his first NBA Finals matchup since 2012. The Warriors dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-91 to take Game 1 of the series.

Why Celtics Building ‘Superteam’ To Take Down Cavs Isn’t As Easy As It Sounds
If you’ve talked to a Boston Celtics fan for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard some version of this argument: The Celtics are one or two pieces away from being a championship contender. They should sign Gordon Hayward in free agency and flip the No. 1 pick for Jimmy Butler or Paul George, pairing two All-Stars with star point guard Isaiah Thomas and versatile big man Al Horford. With that group plus budding star Jaylen Brown and a strong bench, this team could knock off the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference and make a serious run at the Golden State Warriors for the NBA title. Sounds peachy, right? It’s not a far... NESN.com
Did LaMarcus Aldridge Try To Injure Kevin Durant As Revenge For Kawhi Leonard?

Many are wondering just that after LaMarcus Aldridge appeared to try to injure Kevin Durant on Tuesday during Game 2 of the Western Conference finals series between the Spurs and Golden State Warriors. Late in the second quarter, Aldridge seemingly stepped into Durant’s shooting space. Aldridge’s effort evoked memories of Game 1 when Warriors center Zaza Pachulia injured Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard on a similarly dirty play. Leonard left Game 1 and sat out Game 2 due to an ankle injury Pachulia’s foul caused. Prosecutors might speculate Aldridge had motive to target Durant. Perhaps he was trying to spark a furious comeback, as was the case in Game 1 when the Warriors outscored
