Unbelievable!!!

I'm expecting Draymond to completely lose his shit again too. He's been close a few times already.

ya.. I don't think BOS/WAS has much of a chance vs CLE either.

i think we'll all be happy though when it's GSW / CLE facing off again.. that should be a real series.

remember 2016....... THE BLOCK?!

I still remember that like it was yesterday.. what an amazing series & amazing finish... and amazing forum thread.

I remember watching that live (in my office while working) and being up and out of my seat. Just incredible.

Haha yeah the thread was epic.

So how many games do the spurs take from GSW?

Sounds like it was a fairly heated game but that's good coz it usually means the game is competitive. Good luck for the Finals!

Haha yeah it was heated but not really competitive. We won by 22 and were up by more than 10 for most of the game. It was heated due to the refs letting way too much contact go and guys getting upset over it...me included. I always tell myself to shut my mouth and just carry on before games but sometimes it gets the better of me.

Played ball last night. Final game of the regular season. We finished second and have potentially two finals. We've qualified with a few good players so our finals team will be stacked and we should win pretty comfortably if they all play. My game last night was ok. Hadn't run much in the last 3 weeks and the hands were a bit rusty but came good. Tons of rebounds and a few points. Got into a few arguments and there was some push and shove but it's all part of the fun. The best part is the guys who were doing it were nearly as tall as me but half my size which made it a bit easier on me. Body has pulled up really well with only minor soreness which is nice too. I'm planning on playing even less next season with only 1 in every 3-4 weeks at best and getting back into martial arts (for the 75th time). Will still play to keep my finger on the pulse and we also just got a portable ring at home so will actually be able to shoot around more often than once every 2 weeks right before I play.

On the same page! Will help my post play a ton not having wiry arms. Idk why I never stopped to reconsider the 'train the biggest muscles' back/legs myth but someone with my build can def put on 2.5kg of mass on there and i plan to do just that.

Is that a myth? Not sure how much functional use you can get out of slightly bigger arms since arm muscles are proportionally way smaller than leg and torso muscles. For basketball specifically though. I don't really know the rules of basketball but in frisbee you can't stiff arm people and can only box out with your body so that takes out a lot of the benefit of having larger arms. Don't really see larger arms carrying over to athleticism either.

Really curious to see thoughts on this because I don't do lifting for arms except shoulders but it would be a thing to throw in occasionally if it does carry over to sport. Also, do people do any sort of more low-rep strength/fiber recruitment lifting for arms? My buddy who's a bodybuilding coach said people generally don't do that because the muscles are smaller and tear easier

You'd actually be surprised how much upper body strength matters in basketball. Especially for play in the key, mainly the tussle for rebounds and holding position. I played last night and the amount of times arms get tangled when vying for position when a shot goes up is immense. I had both arms being held during most contests last night. Now you might just say it should be a foul but most refs let that stuff go and it's the stronger player who comes out on top.  Another factor is holding onto the ball during plays. I know that I'm far better when the upper body is strong than when I'm just doing mainly lower body work.
