Yeah. I think Steadymoobin acknowledged that. He said they have a shot, and they do because the series is closely matched and the Wiz have three home games left. They're currently +400, which is shorter odds than the Raptors (+650) even though they're only down 1-0.
Celts are -600, so 85% to win the series. Those odds I found earlier say historically it's more like 95%. Might be some money to be made there... As you say though, you have to provide context, and maybe this one is closer than historical odds might indicate
Oubre doesn't need polished post moves for this to be effective. He has ten inches on the guy guarding him. He doesn't need Dream footwork, just a simple jump hook he probably learned in junior high.the moops said:
Not bad for a guy that had a tooth knocked out of his head in game 1. If Al Horford continues to play well they'll be okay against Washington, even if John Wall brings it every game. Why they're not putting IT's man in pick n' rolls with Wall or Beal is beyond me.
I do the same thing after Timberwolves playoff games but with recordings of the Vikings winning it
Agree. At least half the playoff teams is the East are weak enough that they could conceivably choke away a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals even if they a unanimous MVP on their roster.
as the sun sets on another regular season and a playoff basketball starts fans of the cappy bball forum can always count on the breath of fresh air and positive energy that is tjnc02349 rolling in gusting up from his rear end take that to the bank brohans
I think we could actually have an intelligent debate at that point. I would still say MJ, but he would have cemented himself as no lower than #2. Right now, without another championship or MVP, I still have him behind Kareem. And my list is the only one that matters.
Jordan never once had to go through any team like these warriors. Silly to just compare straight numbers of rings when Jordan just had to beat the Knicks and Jazz.
Interestingly enough, both took really good Stones teams out to pasture during their careers after previous failures.
What he did last year to the greatest regular season team with the MVP already makes it an intelligent conversation.
I'm not blinded by hate. Cleveland is 9-10 players deep, perfectly capable of repeating as champions, and he is publicly #####ing about needing another playmaker midseason. Goats don't do that.
The regular season MVP in the NBA is one of the dumbest awards in sports. I guess I'm not surprised anymore by the things you bring up.
He didn't say that six months after winning a championship with basically the same team.
I am happy to change future "unanimous MVP" references to "the player tjnc09 told us at the start of the 2015-16 season was so much better than LeBron James that it was ridiculous to even have the discussion" references if you'd like
Lol you can't even argue correctly. Again, your original post stated goats never ask for help. I then posted proof that Jordan asked for help. GG ez.
If someone chirps about those championships, they should at least give some heavy qualifiers. But they don't even do that, so yeah.
Dude, WTF is wrong with you?
And the Lakers and the Supersonics. Jordan never lost to a weaker team like the 2011 Mavericks in the Finals and also had to beat the likes of the Celtics, Pistons & Magic just to get to the Finals. How many easy trips has LeBron had to the Finals against a weak East while the Western Champs have to fend off 1-2 really good teams? Jordan had some guys make big shots in non-elimination games, but it took the luckiest series of plays in NBA history for LeBron's Heat to even beat the Spurs in 2013 while playing with 3 HOFers and then they got smashed in 2014 in 5 games where "The Spurs outscored the Heat in the series by the largest average point differential (14.0) in Finals history."Capella said:
If spur's were the better team in 2013 they would have won OT in game 6 at home or game 7. Losing in the first round is worse than losing in the finals also.
If Jordan had a weak Eastern conference like LeBron he would have went to 10 straight finals. It works both ways and is dumb to argue either side and try to compare Era's.
