I was going to go for Golden State as i love Steph currey but i didnt know about the 2 aussie boys allegiances.

Torn!!

 

[danielnajdek]

Not a supporter of either team , I'm a 76ers fan.

But since Delly is a mad Collingwood supporter I will be going for the Cavs. Not to mention they have a guy who wears the number 23 by the name of LeBron.

Aw shucks, I'm a fan of you too Daniel

I am a Fan of No Real Team in the NBA but my Favourite team is Toronto

 

[BEEG]

Want Dubs to win but love Delly and wish him luck

 

[Deathray]

Good luck to both, either way a Victorian gets a ring. Such a credit to Dellys determination to be in a NBA finals team- and a pies supporter no less.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Maybe he can bring Lebron to play forward.

Go cavs!!!

 

[Quicky]

I haven't followed Basketball in a long time but when I did I loved Chris Webber and the Golden State Warriors. I'd be happy for them or the Cavs to taste success.

 

[Ricky90]

Haha Nate Brown and Goldy at the end was classic. Had to watch twice (which is slightly embarrassing because it was a terrible effort) but really good by the both of them.

Swanny in fine form as usual.

Big Steph Curry fan here, but stuff them, go Cavs! Bring it home Delly!

Curry has had 1 Huge Season so far.

LaBron has the Experience at the Highest Level a NBA Player can play in

 

[jefffff34]

Curry has had 1 Huge Season so far.

Even though I disagree, it means nothing.

 

[robertg22]

Don't forget Kyrie was born in Melbourne also... 2 Aussie Cavs vs 1 Essendon supporting Bogut. Go Cavs!

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Why?

Because I like them better?

Step ahead of you TD.

That must be painful.

I'll back him if he changes his name to Pebbles.

 

[nahnah]

Yes goo Cavs, been a mad cavs fan since 2005. Very pleased the pies have gotten behind them

 

[didaksrightfoot]

yeah, nah.

Not supporting a LeBron team, and although i've been a big fan of what Delly has done these last couple of years, he has had a few too many "dirty" plays in these playoffs that it's starting to worry me. (not saying he's a "dirty" player, just that he has clearly crossed the line at least a couple of times, and both times have resulted in his opponent being ejected... that's not how you play basketball)

C'mon Boge's, Steve Kerr (part of the Spurs family) and the splash bro's... plus the Bay Area is a pretty great place.

Yep, almost getting elbowed in the head is a dirty play.

I fully respect your right to an opinion but seriously. Do you think Alistair Lynch gives a shite for anyones opinion on the wild haymakers he threw at our fullback on his way to becoming a premiership player.

 

[didaksrightfoot]

Do you seriously think Delly had nothing to do with riling Horford up like that? Watch the replay again and note that Delly kept pushing into him, and even when he fell, continued to keep pushing into Horford's knee, and moving further and further into Horford.
Or please take one look at the Gibson incident and tell me with a straight face that Delly did nothing wrong.

Look - I've been praising Delly over the last couple of years, particular when a lot of others said he wouldn't have a future in the NBA, or that once Lebron arrived, Delly would be pushed out of the rotation to make way for bigger name players. I was adament, and still am, that Delly's toughness makes him very important to an NBA team and that he definitely has the tools to have a long NBA career.
BUT - that doesn't change these incidents, and that he has pretty much gotten away scot free each time.

(And not condoning Horford or Gibson - both deserved their penalties... but that doesn't mean that Delly also doesn't deserve a significant penalty, particularly when we're talking about the playoffs)

And it also must be noted that his teammates very publicly called out Kelly Olynyk for a "non basketball play" which injured Kevin Love (even though Love had done the exact same thing to Olynyk)
