Don't, campaigner. Don't.

OChokeC could easily come back.

nek minute - OKC wins 4-1

I don't know much about basketball but it seems like whoever loses the Western Conference play-offs will have one of the ATG chokes.

LOL

Golden State losing would almost be akin to the 2007 New England Patriots, or the 2008 Geelong Cats.













(Or if the 2016 Kangaroos don't win the flag)

I still don't earn enough for HECS to be deducted.

I literally just tip over into paying it.

 

[royboy2]

Eagles please hufus

 

[Allikat]

I do my own return and I'll be paying tax this year. HECs

I understand I should finally be finished paying my HECS next year! Yay! Oh and I don't have to pay the ATO extra, they always give me money. Working in aviation is awesome because flying is tax deductible.

I can see distinct parallels between the 2016 Golden State Warriors and the 2007 New England (the GOAT) Patriots. Both teams had basically busted and bruised their balls to create an historically great season, only to be dead set rooted in the final hurdle. But this time, the Dubs won't make it to the last dance (the finals) like the Pats did in that superbowl, they are going to lose to the feisty Russsel Goatbrook and the OKC Thunder in the Western Thunder.

This was the team that set the NBA record for most regular season wins (73) but i've been saying for months that the 96 Chicago Bulls shitted all over these Dubs in terms of talent, durability and hardness (Draymond Green is bit of a sissy compared to Dennis Rodman, for example, and you'd take Scottie Pippen over Klay Thompson, MJ over Steph Curry etc)

But you'd probably take Andrew Bogan over Luc Longley (the Aussie connection is strong here)

Still laughing how the ESPN simulation software tipped The 16 Warriors to beat the 96 Bulls, shows how unreliable computers can be.

Hope my Melbourne Stars since Chris Gayle, otherwise i really couldn't give a stuff about the big bash league, i hate sjws ruining sports (in this case cricket) just because we have bit of a free spirit with swag that hasn't actually committed any crime in any way. And don't get me started on Krygios copping more flak because he yelled out 'towel' to a slack ass ballboy. FYI, I'd much rather my son hero worship someone like Chris Gayle than an endangered species murdering flog like Glenn McGrath or a cheating, pill popping Botox Addict in Warnie ...

Get f***ed. Leaving aside the controversy that follows him, Gayle is a T20 merc who only gives a f*** when it suits him. It's the reason why his BBL numbers are shit overall, out here he actually has to play on larger grounds, pitches that aren't flat, and face bowlers that aren't pedestrian. It requires more effort and concentration than he usually has to deliver in comps like the Bangladesh Premier League (or even IPL where the gun bowlers like Steyn often ride the bench due to overseas player caps), and rarely does he ever adjust for that.

Yeah, but what do you really think of 'im?

16 Warriors would win.

Game is drastically different now. Stephen Curry would bang threes for fun because the 96 Bulls would let him.

Probably depends what rules you'd play it under. 90's rules (hand checks allowed) the Bulls win, current rules the Warriors probably win.

Dunno.

So much more perimeter shooting these days compared to when I actually took a keen interest in basketball back in the '90s.

Three pointers were a Hail Mary more or less. Curry would bang threes and the Bulls wouldn't know how to stop him.

 

[Allikat]

I haven't watched basketball since I was cheerleading.

That Ricky Grace goes alright.

The '91 Perth Wildcats would beat both of them.

Probably case in point during that game at Eithad late last season where he made the fastest 50 or whatnot.

*Buys tickets for St Kilda vs Freo*
L2 isle 42 isn't bad at all.

The Black Pearl. Awesome point guard. NBL Hall of Fame.

Lol when we get up.

 

[Keys]

the 2007 New England (the GOAT) Patriots

Scratching my head trying to work out how a team that didn't win the Super Bowl could be a goat

Unless you meant goat choke

There probably won't be many Freo supporters clambering for tickets.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Funny enough when I looked you could get dead centre of L2. I've never seen them for sale at all.

 

[Keys]

There probably won't be many Freo supporters clambering for tickets.

Or saints supporters for them to have to clamber over
