2015 NBA Thread: I felt a great disturbance in the trolls, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. (3 Viewers)

You're moving the goalposts.  You said that you couldn't even imagine Jordan pooping the bed for half a playoff series. I was pointing out that he did. I didn't say it was worse than anything LeBron or Curry or Hezonja or any of the other current players in the mix for all-time greatness has done.

I wouldn't qualify it as pooping the bed for half of a playoff series.  So those are some pretty subjective goalposts you're trying to set up.

Jordan 1989 vs Detroit:   29.7 PPG on .460, 5.5 Reb, 6.5 Ast, 2.0 Stl, 3.6 TO

Lebron 2011 vs Mavs:  17.8 PPG on .478, 7.2 Reb, 6.8 Ast, 1.7 Stl, 4 TO

Curry 2016 vs Cavs:  16.0 PPG on .436, 5.0 Reb, 4.3 Ast, .7 Stl, 5 TO

Hmmm...   one of these looks dramatically better than the other 2.

Well, she's at least 33% right...

 

[ShamrockPride]

No. In the Finals where Houston swept Orlando and Olajuwan "schooled" him, Shaq averaged 28 pts, 12.5 reb, 6.3 ast and 2.5 blocks. 

Holy s***.

One guy put up a ton of shots?

Classy of you not to mention that Jordan beat Isiah Thomas in that series also, which is the obvious death blow to anyone else's argument.

 

[Short Corner]

The new board sucks

Well one of them wins the series.

 

[tdoss]

So who are the refs allowing to win tonight's game?

 

[coyote5]

you lost me

Please start Kevin Love

Please start Kevin Love

Lue has the perfect excuse to sit him too.  Very curious to see what he does.

 

[tjnc09]

Love not starting.  Your move, Kerr.

 

[Joe T]

I wonder if Queen James will finally step up in the finals.

 

[tjnc09]

Curry's defense starts off gross again

 

[Insein]

Cavs 106 GS 102

 

[Frostillicus]

Best Tweet Ever?

 

[Short Corner]

Best Tweet Ever?

Pau Gasol on the Grinnel kid FTW. 

 

[tjnc09]

I don't even know what a foul is anymore.

 

[Bobcat10]

And I thought that Cavs complained alot.  

 

[dschuler]

Terrible officiating to end the half.  Clearly a foul on the three.  And to make it worse they call a technical on GS.  

 

[Bobcat10]

You people should all know end of quarter and game calls are rarely called.

 

[dschuler]

They didn't have any trouble calling a technical though, good logic

 

[Joe T]

Kyrie MVP of the finals so far.

[Bobcat10]

Kerr and Walton whine all the time from the sideline and have been shown doing so tonight.  I'm sure it didn't take much depending on what was said.  That's logic.

 

[Joe T]

How much are they going to hype OJ Made in America?

must not be that good.

 

[dschuler]

Which goes against your original point.  

 

[Short Corner]

Cavs have been the more physical team and they are crying about every call and no call.

 

[Dez]

I wonder if Queen James will finally step up in the finals.

Not the sharpest stick in the wood are you.

 

[tjnc09]

Are the announcers ever going to realize that James is commanding all the attention of GS defense?  Of course it's going to be tough for him to score but it's allowing their offense to get easier shots.

 

[Short Corner]

Warriors adjust by giving Jefferson the Tony Allen treatment with Draymond

Same thing with Curry and Thompson in the first two games. 

 

[Insein]

Wtf is James doing? Dunk that ####.

 

[Kev4029]

Refs are letting this game get out of hand.

 

[Insein]

It's only a foul if you touch Curry

 

[Bobcat10]

Curry goes DX crotch chop.  That's our MVP!

 

[Short Corner]

It's only a foul if you touch Curry

 

[dschuler]

Cavs have to get good possessions on offense.  Long rebounds and turnovers are easy 3s for GS.  

 

[GOB]

It's only a foul if you touch Curry

Somebody about to get a flagrant then...

I still don't know what the refs are doing

 

[Kev4029]

This is one of the most poorly officiated quarters of basketball I've ever seen.

 

[dschuler]

I still don't know what the refs are doing

Leave it to the international flopper to figure out a way to draw a foul.

 

[Bobcat10]

Having a hard time getting anything right really. 

 

[Insein]

Wow
