2016-17 NBA Thread: Finals are over, please go away (1 Viewer)

[Weebs210]

That's also a weak argument because people use the straight finals or finals appearances overall with LeBron. It's because of how weak the East has been. There's really only been a handful of teams who legit could've stopped or played LeBron well enough in those years. Mia Years most thought a healthy Chicago Rose team would be a task for Mia. Unfortunately the Bulls never stayed healthy and we only saw a glimpse of what could've been between those two teams I believe it was the 2011 Confidence Finals. Cleveland with Kyrie was still a terrible team till LeBron got there. Mia was a decent avg #8-7 seed before LeBron got there. Adding the best player in the game in such a weak conference kind of helps a bit. 

So u agree LeBron would be undeafted in the finals if he played in the West?

 

[DJackson10]

Don't forget about him leaving basketball to play baseball. He knew he wouldn't make the finals those 2 years.

LOL nice try he was basically suspended for gambling. His "retirement" was a suspension. Stern wasn't gonna admit he suspended his top league earner. Heck if that happened to LeBron Stern would probably cover his ### the same way. It also worked out that his father was murdered so he could "take a break" from the game.

Sure. Whatever you say. I say he was scared.

Hey guys, there's a great Finals game on right now so why don't we rehash some more LeBron/Jordan arguments?

 

[DJackson10]

LeBron just throwing Iggy to the floor on b2b possessions

Shouldn't those be fouls....

 

[DJackson10]

I would say no he'd have tougher time making the finals unless he teamed with the Spurs or something. 

 

[Ghost Rider]

Tell Love to stop shooting. 

 

[DJackson10]

Terrible shot by Smith there. Not sure what the foul was there. 

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Refs giving it to Cavs.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

OH FFS! 

 

[need2know]

Man clv may actually get a game here

 

[Weebs210]

Refs giving it to Cavs.

Lol

 

[Kev4029]

I had no idea.  Wow. 

That was the summer he went from budding star to George Karl's doghouse. I think he was in jail for a couple months over the summer and he was never quite the same on the basketball court, IMO.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Curry was moving. Easy call. 

 

[Frostillicus]

Moving Lebron to #1 all-time.  No doubt in my mind.

Do you mean when he traveled or when he traveled?

 

[DJackson10]

I'm confused on these last two calls. Isn't a charge when a player has BOTH HIS FEET SET ON THE GROUND and takes a fall? Looked like KK was still in the air. Curry on the next poss gets called for a blocking foul that looked more like a charge then the call at the other end. Am I missing something here? 

 

[Synthesizer]

Curry out of position on defense then throws himself in front and flops over.  Good call.

 

[DJackson10]

Do you mean when he traveled or when he traveled?

You could say almost every possession someone travels or palms the ball these days. 

 

[Kev4029]

Does any team have worse facial hair than the Warriors? Curry, Thompson and Durant all look like 19 year olds trying the whole facial hair thing out for the first time.

 

[Kev4029]

I don't know what it is about Thompson's circle beard but it really makes me hate him.

You're missing the delicious home cookin' the refs are serving.

Who the #### cares

 

[Moe.]

I'm ashamed to admit that I've found myself pulling for the Warriors really hard tonight. I'm a terrible person

Cavs letting this one slip away another wide open look knocked down by Klay.

You don't have to be on the ground to take a charge.

That was last year. It's more of a rhomboid now.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

GOOD LORD. LET THEM PLAY, REFS.

 

[Dez]

3 costly missed layups tonight by LeBron

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

GW getting mugged on both sides of the court.  Is this Rollerball?

 

[need2know]

Got a feeling the Cavs lose this

 

[need2know]

They want to come back from 3 0 baby

 

[Weebs210]

Jesus. Cry more. Did u miss 11 free throw points for curry in first quarter game 2?

Get this guy a Kleenex.

Kind of blatant and it's laughable how people can't admit to it. 

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Love looks like Herman Munster out there.

 

[Capella]

This Cavs defensive lineup is SO bad. Korver, Love AND Jr Smith 

 

[DJackson10]

GW getting mugged on both sides of the court.  Is this Rollerball?

Nope just the Cavs newest players on the team. 

 

[Ghost Rider]

Love blows an easy one that would've given them an 8-point lead. Oof. 

 

[msudaisy26]

Let's see OT
