getbig's official NBA thread

[Pray_4_War]

you're right he is the anti michael jordan, he didn't have an all star team and the best coach ever handed to him, he worked for everything he has all by himself

E

Here you are just showing your ignorance.  MJ worked like a dog to climb to the top and he took a lot of beatings on the way up.

Reality check.  It's a results oriented world we live in.  Nobody gives a fuck about excuses.  Everyone has excuses but that's not how it works when you are an adult.  You either do something or you don't.  You win or you lose.  You don't sit around and make lists of who and what to blame your failures on.

Example.  In the 1991 Finals Michael Jordan beat Magic Johnson's Lakers.  No Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, no Pat Riley, no Michael Cooper.  They had a very poor coach (Mike Dunleavy) that slowed everything down to a crawl and made them play half-court, post up offense.  They went from Showtime to Slowtime and nullified (to an extent) Magic Johnson's genius.  In the Finals their only true scorers James Worthy and Byron Scott both had leg injuries.  Worthy missed a lot of time and when he did play he was limping around on one leg.  Guess what?  Nobody gives a fuck.  At the end of the day history only remembers that MJ beat Magic in the Finals.  End of story.

Lebron looking good late in the game

[240 is Back]

I think Lbebron should just go ahead and single-handedly lead the team to the championship without irving.

all this talk about the greatest ever lol... he could shut it down quickly.  won't happen, everyone agrees, but this is the 100% chance for him to outshine kobe, MJ, Magic, and everyone else for greatness.  Win your city a ring with your #2 and #3 guys out.  

That'd be some epic shit.   Show me Jordan's rings without Pippen and Kerr lol.

[Hulkotron]

Grant averaged about 13 points 9 rebounds during the three-peat.

Good player for sure but it's easy to get shots when the other team's defense is contending with Jordan and Pippen.

He was a 1x All-Star in his career.

[Army of One]

Ive found a sure way to become a millionaire, find out who 240 is back thinks will win and bet the other way.

[Ronnie Rep]

How they do this year ?

No Bosch the whole second half of the season. How is that Spoelstra's fault? They will be contending in the east this year When Bosch, Wade, Whiteside,and they resign Dragic. Plus McRoberts was out the whole season should be back healthy.

[Hulkotron]

Their biggest worry at the moment is getting saddled with a Kobe-type albatross contract with Wade.  He has lost a step (a couple, actually) and is going to continue to slide.

If they could get him for a reasonable value for what he'll provide (they won't), this is a solid starting five:

Dragic
Wade
Deng
Bosh
Whiteside

Agree forgot about Deng. Wade not gonna get Kobe money. Hopefully he will settle for about 45 mill for the next 3 seasons. That should give them leeway to go out and try and get Durant or someone else in 2016, with the new cap in place.

I hope the cavs win 2. I don't want to see GS win their championship on the road. Would be better at home.

[240 is Back]

I hope lebron takes an adderall/cocaine mixer and plays out of his head and drops 65 points on GS on Sunday.

It won't happen.. but imagine the LBJ legacy if he led cavs to the championship without love or Irving.  legendary shit there.

Even is LJ scores 65 they'd still lose 108-90

[Dr Dutch]

What is this thread about again ??

[Hulkotron]

Most of LeBronze's accomplishments in the Finals seem to be imaginary at this point.

Lebron losing in the NBA Finals.

[Pray_4_War]

Lebron is the greatest of all time..............at losing in the Finals.

[calfzilla]

Lebron is the greatest of all time..............at losing in the Finals.

His two other superstars are out with injury this time 

[Necrosis]

it is a team sport, it's not an excuse when he is playing with a d league team at this point. Not only love and irving, but varejao as well.

It's LBJ then the next best player is jr smith who was given away for trash. His frontcourt is timofey mozgov (a mobile bi) and thompson (a quality rebounder, atheletic big). then who? kendrick perkins(the worst offensive player in the league) and brandon haywood, a super scrub I thought died.

Delladova is running point, yes delladova with no back up, joe harris will have to get minutes, mike miller is old and busted up and shawn marion is completely useless now and hasn't played.

The warriors next best player is clay (top 3 sg in league), then draymond (perhaps best role player and elite defender), a close bogut (legit center), andre iguadala (mutil all star), speights (better then both cleveland bigs), barbosa, livingston, ezeli, Harrison Barnes is also legit.

GS is so much better talent wise right now. If haywood and joe harris need to give you any significant minutes you are in trouble.

[Pray_4_War]

His two other superstars are out with injury this time 

True, but he had the other two superstars in 2011 and 2014 and still lost.  He would have lost in 2013 also if not for Ray Allen's miracle three pointer.  Lebron caught a bad break this year but excuses are for phaggotts.

[Natural Man]

the curse of playing alone against the whole oposite team everytime he reaches the finals...

[Pray_4_War]

the curse of playing alone against the whole oposite team everytime he reaches the finals...

That's what happens when you create a "Big 3" and spend all your money on three players.  The rest of your roster sucks and you aren't very deep.  Better to build a championship team the regular way.

[Earl1972]

lol @ dicks-for-brains "Earl" comparing Horace Grant to Chris Bosh and Kevin Love

you're right, it's an insult to horace grant because love and bosh can't make the playoffs without the king

if you care so much about results than why do you discredit lebron for being a 2 time champ and carrying bad teams to the finals

why couldn't jordan beat the pistons in the late 80's?  he failed and you seem to have excuses for his failures

you claim lebron won only because of "weak competition" or some other role player helping him, then claim people only remember that jordan won and not how he won

you don't seem to practice what you preach, son

jerry west lost much more

magic lost 3 times with much better teammates

all of your other inferior basketball heroes could never carry these teams to the finals, and no losing in the  quarterfinals is not more respectable than losing in the finals
