2017-18 NBA (Playoffs): A gasping, wheezing thread begs message board poster arguing how Jordan never lost a Finals to just let it die in peace (2 Viewers)

[Stuart Ullman]

17 point lead about to be down to 8.  Game not over.

The interesting thing to me, is that neither team has really gotten going from 3-point land. Toronto has a chance to steal this if they can get a few to go down. Likewise, Cleveland can blow them out of the water if they decide to start lobbing up 3s.

You see the world through Cav gear glasses.

I guess.  Front row, 2 Cavs fans.  Lots of hoods in the crowd.  It's winter up there still?

 

[msudaisy26]

I love how the Raptors are getting mugged by the Cavs in front of the refs and whistles are completely silent. 

I don't even know what this post is about, but I love it.

I don't even know what this post is about, but I love it. 

It's about DJax hating Lebron.

 

[Stuart Ullman]

I like @DJackson10 too, he's good people.

Valuncianus got mugged and the whistles were silent.

 

[HellToupee]

Wasn't someone in here complaining like 2 weeks ago about moving the ball to half court on a TO? Its such an awesome rule.

Hate it

 

[Chaos Commish]

You can't stop Kevin Love, you can only hope to contain him.

I just want consistent officiating. Haven't watched every game but the officiating this year has been way better especially compared to the NHL playoffs. You could call an offensive foul for pushing off or a moving screen every play too. I think someone mentioned last year in this thread or another he is an official and laughs when the NBA calls a moving screen. Also I thought they were gonna start giving T's to guys for diving whatever happened to that? 

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Why Thibs?

Joakim Noah and Luol Deng can both barely walk these days. Derrick Rose tore his ACL when he was on the floor with a less than a minute a half in a game where the Bulls were up by double-digits.

Lead down to 5 again.  They won't give up.  Reminds me of Boston vs Cleveland last year Boston got smashed by 46 at home in game 2 then came back to win game 3 at the buzzer.

It would make good TV if the Raptors made a comeback here.

I'm old. I've watched nba hoops obsessively for decades. Sometime long ago I quit whining about officiating. It ruined the game for me. I love the game. Whining is almost always biased. The officiating is consistent.

Oh come on Lebron!!!! You are how much bigger then Lowry? No way he can throw you around like a rag doll there.

I stopped liking when the super teams started. I think a lot of todays players are big babies and so entitled too.

Too bad Donaghey isn't in the league anymore.....

Thibs having to manage Embiid's minutes would be pretty great to watch.

 

[Rirruto]

It's wild that Lebron, Durant, and Trae Young are balding so aggressively and refusing to go with it. When was the last time we had two great NBA guys and the most popular college guy just outright refusing to shave their heads?

 

[modogg]

So Celtics are now calling out Lebron and talking about "not playing with their food" when it comes to game 4. Good times

You should stop again.

If so then I guess I am rooting for bad TV.

If your a star player you play no matter what. Thibs is old school. There's always people who think one way or another on this stuff. Like taking a QB out of the game do to a blow out and stuff. The problem with Noah and Deng is they didn't take care of their bodies well either. Lebron plays a ton of minutes each year and he's incredible durable. Why? He takes great care of his body

 

[DJackson10]

You definitely wouldn't see the babying that Embiid complains about the Sixers do with him

Thibs blows, dude.

Lowry is playing fantastic. If "this guy" showed up more often, it would be great. He's got to be one of the bigger underperformers in the league. I think he'd benefit greatly in a different environment. Recharge his batteries somewhere else.

 

[trader jake]

5 seconds left on the shot clock, after a timeout, and the Raptors throw it way into the backcourt?  WTH?

 

[tjnc09]

Toronto calls a time out and has no clue how much time is on the shot clock

 

[Chaos Commish]

Hubie annoyed me so much I switched to espn deportes.

That ain't Stevens on the sidelines.

 

[DJackson10]

Did someone want good TV? There ya go

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Wonder who is going to shoot the last shot for Cleveland?

 

[Chaos Commish]

Come on now

Seriously Onunoby hit that and the guy went gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal!!

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Nobody could have predicted that

Not sure there is much gas left as a 32+ minutes per game for 82 games level of production, but he could still be a major part to a great team.  Lowry can still be a great defender and shot maker in slightly under full-time bursts.

For Toronto it may be the most logical piece to move and get that bang for the buck exchange.

Jesus FN Christ. Unreal

LeBron FN James

Holy what the hey

Great play.

Kids going to be good someday

 

[Dedfin]

####### beautiful shot

 

[Bobcat10]

Nice comeback by the Raps, but damn Lebron.  Derozan in critical condition too.

 

[gump]

Unbelievable...but expected.

 

[Frostillicus]

Ridiculous.

Good ####### god.
