Cavs completely destroying Bulls so far. I can only assume.

love is a non factor, just an empty statpadder, they actually play better without him. Bulls are unreliable, they will collapse.

That's why the Cavs lost at home last night

Gross. Would not hit.

I'm not worried about the Cavs.
The Bulls played out of their minds, they were in rhythm. Cavs were trying to figure out how to be good without Love AND JR Reid all at once.
Cavs still win it in 6 or 7, once they learn how to play without Love. And Lebron has no business guarding an offensive simpleton like Noah. let him destroy Rose or Butler and disrupt their entire offense.
-
BOOM cavs have learned to play without the playerhatin' Kevin Love.

Did anyone just see Shaq take that nose dive during half-time?
-
Clippers might come out of the West, as crazy as that sounds. They could legit sweep HOU. Anyone will be easy after beating the Spurs.
Would love to see Blake Griff vs Lebron in Finals.
Can Cavs win the series 4-1 now?
Rockets are BY FAR the most inbred team in the NBA. Them eyes just ain't right.
-
Fix your damn shot clock, kid.

Bahahaha Jokim Noah says a Cavs fan spit on him haha Got Cavs winning this series in 7, Golden State Vs Cavs in Finals , that would be sick
-
The NBA is lame, gay, and fixed.
Not necessarily in that order
-
Clipper's Austin Rivers tripping over his own feet on an open court fast break, under a minute left to make it a one possession game. Instead Houston gets the ball back and goes up by 6. lol. The worst part was his Daddy coach just shrugging. bet if it was another player the Coach would have had a different reaction.

GS would absolutely destroy the cavs. A sweep. In fact it s probably how it will turn out.
Pretty disapointed in the rockets, they played great before facing the clippers. Looks like they gave it all alrdy.

I dunno... GS got beat at home last night. Looked beatable.
Nobody on GS can stop lebron, and if Curry gets rattled, he gets cold. live by the 3, die by the 3. once he gets a bloody nose or loses a tooth, he's off his rhythm, that team becomes average fast.

Cavs and Bulls getting testy tonight.

Cavs and Bulls getting testy tonight.
Good game.

The Bulls really hate LeBron.
I hate him too, he's a shithead. Fuck him and fuck his constant arm-barring and fuck his stupid headband and I'm glad he's balding and is uncomfortable about it.
-
Rose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this shit is going 7 games.
-
-
Nice to see Rose show up tonight.
I hate Lebron but the dude is fucking amazing. He always had the insane athleticism. Now he has the basketball IQ to go with it.

Noah, hates him.
-
rose buzzer beater was more luck than skill, but hey, they were better than the cavs this night.
-
i was happy Cavs lost, even though i'm a lebron and CLE van since day 1.
cause now it'll be 6 or 7 games, and not a 4-1 Cavs win, which would have happened if they broke the Bulls back on their home floor like that.
cavs should still spank them, but they'll have to step up their game now.
-
Lebron should have gotten the foul call at 2.0 seconds. Noah raped his upper back when James took it into the paint. Would have helped the Bulls actually - they're down by 2 but can still get a chance at a half court shot for the win, and 4 of their guys can make that.
But it was way more dramatic to have lebron hit the game winner at the buzzer. Series tied 2-2.
Winner of this CLE/CHI series makes it to the Finals... and unless they face Memphis, wins the title.
-
Crazy buzzer beaters. Like the NCAA final 4. Right now the Clippers look like the team to beat with Cleveland coming out of the east. GS is just ice cold. can't hit shit.
-
exciting playoffs so far.

i want to see the GS and LAC series go 7 games. just entertaining to watch.
GS has struggled, they're like ATL... best schedule but too small, weak for playoffs.
Cavs play championship ball. They should be up 3-1 right now. Bulls have to be feeling the heat now... Cavs will probably got 4-2 now. LeBron SHOULD have won it at the free throw line with 2 seconds left, refs really screwed hm there. But that's good. Cavs earned the win TWICE today with the non-call then the actual buzzer beater. ulls + refs + the emotions of the entire city of CHI couldn't stop them.
Memphis is intriguing. Big men doing well in the playoffs are hard to stop... think Hakeem Rockets in 90s, and DUncan all those years. Memphis looks like SA this year.
-
Deondre Jordan looks like a larger version of Lebron James from inside 15 feet tonight.
Alley oop city. Clips should win this series in 5. Up by 19 in the 3rd quarter.
I had no idea LAC was this athletic. They're playing 4-on-5 with Jordan hanging back to avoid fouls, and they're destroying the inbred Rockets.
-
Deandre Jordan taking a giant shit on Dwight Howard. Dwight exposed as the dumb overrated clown he is.
Chicago ain't beating Cleveland without Pau Gasol. They better hope his hammy heals quick.

Cavs better win this tonight, while Rose is exhausted. He's dangerous after 2 days rest for a SUN game 7.
-
Hulk hogan just showed up on the bulls
-
lebron sucks in this series, but he's snagging rebounds like rodman out there.
Cavs up by 14 early in the 3rd quarter. Bulls will make their run.
Kyrie Irving out for the game. That could hurt late, he's probably the best shooter they have.
these 2 teams are just exhausted.
-
Bulls played like shit and the coach needs to be gone.
Will Houston finally show up tonight?

WTF

You ain't shit, you ain't never been shit, and you ain't never gonna be shit. Fuck you.

Great comeback by Houston. This will be a seriously fun series watching two of the best players in the NBA play a best of seven series. GS is a great team, but Houston has more than enough talent to take it. This will be good.

i never felt like they deserved winning against the rockets. I felt like they mostly won in the begining because rockets were not playing their best bball. Now everything fell in order as it should have been, rockets are the obvious better team. Will be interesting to watch GS vs rockets.
Whoever wins this series will rape either badly disminished by injuries Cleveland or weak fucking atlanta.

I ain't got no love for the Rockets either. Fuck those bitchmade clowns. Dwight Howard and James Harden are two of the biggest douchebags in the league. They don't have the heart, the character, the brains, or the balls to be NBA Champions.
...Except Trevor Ariza who is a Champion, a proven clutch performer, and a legit bad-ass. The rest of those pussies can fuck off and die though.

I strongly dislike Howard. I don't get that dude, he should be dominant in this era and he can't break a 20 pg average. .... He isn't funny and is way too pretentious.

Howard is a spoiled c Unt catered to since he was a 7 foot tall 15 year old. He needed a couple of years of college to learn how to be a man but skipped and went to Orlando. He's on cruise control now just collecting his money and supporting his 11 kids from 15 mothers.

Lakers will become awesome... 5 minutes after Kobe retires.
Love, that eyebrows kid anthony davis, maybe some older vets like Carmelo... and a big name we don't see coming...
they'll all arrive in LA, along with the new huge TV $ deal in 2016... and the lakers will be a contender overnight.
I've been calling Kobe a dick since 1995/1996... now the rest of the NBA players are showing it... the LAL are poison until he retires. He's a spiteful dick. He disrespects fellow players, teammates, in games and all-star weekend too. He heard about his "great intensity and competitive spirit" for so long, that he forgot not to be a dick to people. And he started treating his co-workers like subordinates. When he broke a rookie's hand playing defense, he made fun of him to the press, instead of saying he can't wait for his teammate to return. Dick move.

Lakers will sign Mark Gasol this offseason, then get Davis from NO and in a couple years Wiggins will leave Minnesota. They'll hope Randle and Winslow and Okafor who'll they'll pick with the #1 spot will turn out to be studs and they'll battle again for the top spot.
Lakers though need to get a new coach.

Scott is a Kobe hire, I think they did that to strictly keep Kobe happy after the PJax hiring botch. Even though that team has a talent deficit Scott is BAD. I thought he was a genius when he coached the Nets to the Finals, but I was wrong.

That's not cut and paste, that's been on my mind for a while and I'm glad I got it off my chest. Even though I am a white devil, my days of hanging out with negros have rubbed off on me. I've been around black people since I was a kid. Some of my best homies are black. Thus, I will occasionally have a Tupac moment. This was one of such moments.

Damn, didn't know this but the Lakers might get fucked tonight.
The 76ers find themselves in an even more precarious situation this year. Philadelphia has the third-highest chance, 15.6%, at the No. 1 overall pick this year. The Sixers are also owed the Lakers’ top-five protected first rounder, as well as the Miami Heat’s top-10 protected lottery selection.
With the Lakers owning the fourth-worst record and thus the fourth-best odds at the No. 1 pick, there’s a 17.2% chance the Lakers drop to No. 6 or No. 7, and thus gifting their selection to Philly. Interestingly, there’s a greater chance of that happening than the Sixers simply winning the lottery. The Heat finished the season with 10th-worst record, barely clinging on to their first rounder as is. However, there’s still a 9.1 percent chance one team in the 11-14 slots can jump all the way into the top three (the lottery is simply a drawing for the top three slots followed by the remaining teams being awarded picks 4-14 based on worst record).
How can Tuesday night become a total coup for the Sixers? There’s a 3.7 percent chance Philadelphia receives picks from both the Lakers and Heat and a 0.28 percent chance Philadelphia ends up picking at No. 1, No. 6 and No. 11. The Orlando Magic are the only team in NBA history to ever have three lottery picks in
Here's the reason
L.A. shipped a protected first-round pick to Phoenix in the 2012 sign-and-trade deal that landed Steve Nash. The Suns in turn traded that pick to the Sixers at this year's deadline in a three-team deal that sent Brandon Knight from the Bucks to the Suns. According to the protections, the Lakers get to keep their pick if it remains in the top five but they must send it to the Sixers if it lands at six or seven. Put another way, two teams must jump over the Lakers in the lottery order for the Sixers to receive the pick. In case you're wondering, there is a 17.2% chance of that happening, leaving L.A. empty-handed after the worst season in its 67-year franchise history

let's see if the NBA will "FIX" the draft. I've predicted all year that it'll be LAL with the #1 pick.
And yes, they're in the top 3. NYK got the #4 pick.

LA with #2. I'm very happy about this. There is some real talent available at #2.

11% chance and they end up with one of the two best centers. I'm a conspiracy theorist kinda guy. Totally fixed.
-
Houston looking legit at the moment, golden state look shook
-
Rocket are like the NY Giants. Shitty team that just gets hot & avoids injuries and doesn't overthink things, finds ways to win.
-
Wrist.
LoL I could barely see that
-
How many seasons does #2 last in LA before opting out or asking for a trade
-
Game 1 final score
Warriors 110
Rockets 106

Both these teams would murder the cavs in the finals, if they make it past the hawks.

I dunno... Both have shit defenses and depend on getting hot in order to win. Cavs could have swept CHI, except for a few shots that went sideways. If Howard doesn't get hurt tonight, it's Warriors leading the series 1-0.
All it takes in the Finals is for Curry to get a bloody nose or Thompson get in foul trouble, he's prone... and LeBron to get into one of those beastmode kinda moods... nobody on GS can stop him. GS can get rattled. And those CLE veterans won't fall for a lot of the shit we saw the inbred HOU idiots going for tonight. CLE players will be smart in close games. I don't think GS has that poise if they're down 4 points in the final minute tonight.

stefan curry's kid is hilarious. stealing the show at the press conference haha.

It was actually an 11.9 percent chance that they would have gotten the #1 pick......and they didn't. I was actually kinda thinking the NBA would rig it and they would get the #1 pick. I'm more than happy with #2 though. I can't wait until draft day.
Lakers are probably taking Okafor who is great on the offensive end. I'm a little worried about his effort level on defense though. Can he be coached into moving his ass more on defense? Towns seems like more of an ideal NBA prospect in the mold of an Anthony Davis. Wish we could get him but he's probably going #1.
-
I called it that the Lakers would move up and get Okafor or Towns. Funny now how no one wants to be the first pick and get stuck in Minnesota when they could be a Laker. I can see both guys playing like shit at the T-wolves tryouts trying to not get picked.

"WE" , just a couple year ago or so it was MY TEAM ::) ::)
when they are projected to win it all its HIS team, when they stink to high heaven , its back to WE

And he was supposed to say what...that "HE" played like crap the whole year? "He" actually played very well this season until the rotator cuff thing happened. The team was devoid of any other legitimate talent and didn't play well as a unit. Lost a lot of games. I don't understand people like you that come up with imaginary things to criticize Kobe for. Very strange.
The Lakers are his team. Just like the Cavs are Lebron's team and the Bulls were MJ's team. In the NBA your team revolves around your best player. It's not like football where you have 50 plus guys on your team. Players don't win or lose on their own but the NBA is a superstar driven league. This is just common knowledge.

how about he doesnt say shit and stop throwing his teamates under the bus for a season he barely contributed too, after 19 seasons you think he would get the hint that grown men dont appreciate that shit and its no wonder no veteran players want to go to LA while he is still a laker

Lakers were statistically better without Kobe
http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/101783/lakers-might-be-better-without-kobe
Kobe Bryant has a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder.Kobe Bryant might be done for the season after MRI results showed a tear of the rotator cuff in his right shoulder.
Is it possible that the Lakers could improve as a team without Kobe? The numbers show that the Lakers have been a more efficient team this season when Kobe isn't on the floor, scoring four more points per 100 possessions and allowing 10 fewer points per 100 possessions without him.
Worst Net Efficiency Differential Minimum 1,000 Minutes This Season
The Lakers are 14 points per 100 possessions better with Kobe off the court this season than they are with Kobe on the court. Among all players with at least 1,000 minutes this season, only Kobe's teammate Jordan Hill has had a more negative effect on his team's production than Bryant himself.
Kobe ranks among the worst players in the league this season in a number of categories:
• 124th in field goal percentage (third-worst among qualified players)
• 103rd in 3-point percentage (fifth-worst)
• 74th in player efficiency rating
• 361st in win shares
Kobe's 0.1 win shares are the fewest of the 73 players to play at least 1,200 minutes this season. Win shares are an estimate of the number of wins a player contributes to his team based on his offense and defense.
Fewest Win Shares

Absolute nonsense. Win shares? lol. Only stat geeks with their made up, adjusted stats and formulas will have this opinion. Ask someone who plays or coaches in the NBA if the Lakers are better without Kobe and see what answer you get. Do you think the other team has to game-plan how to defend Wayne fucking Ellington? Does Wayne fucking Ellington draw the same kind of defensive attention as Kobe Bryant? The Lakers were a terrible team, devoid of talent riddled with injuries and purposely tanking for a good draft pick. How anyone can look at stats like this and take them seriously is beyond me. Only at ESPN.
-
Carl Anthony towns who's projected one overall is grumbling about not wanting to play for Minnesota and wants to play for LA. lol
Not sure why LA would take either if they can get Mark Gasol as a free agent. They can trade the number 2 to another team or trade down a couple spots and take a guard
-

He said "we" played like crap dude, not "they". You can't have it both ways. Also, his teammates are the absolute bottom of the barrel in the NBA. I don't give a flying fuck what they think of Kobe or what he says. They are lucky to be in the league at all. They fucking suck. It pains me to say that as a Laker fan, but it's the truth. This team was maybe the worst roster that I have ever seen in the NBA. It was designed to be awful. Kobe isn't throwing anyone under the bus. You are full of shit. Your argument makes no sense.

without love, without kyrie irving. Lebron could get to the finals with 4 college kids at this point.
And he's not facing the Spurs. To be honest, I don't see golden state beating the Cavs. I really don't. They struggled against HOU.

I don't know about that, GS has one of the best on ball defenders in Draymond Green and he is physical enough to guard Lebron. I think kawhi, butler,george and green are match up probs for lebron.
-
golden state is awesome, as long as they're leading and things are going well.
when the Cavs start knocking people on the floor, when Lebron discovers nobody on GS can contain him both inside and out - and most importantly: Lebron wants that "this can be THE defining moment of my career" moment.
If Clay and Curry run cold for 5 minutes in the 4th quarter, the Cavs can be up 19. They do it that quickly.

What the fuck are you talking about? GS came back from a 16 point deficit. No matter how much a team is up on them they come back like its nothing. GS will run all over them. Green will defend James, no one other than Lebron can defend Curry on that team and he won't be on him. Thompson will be wide open all the time. Cavs got lucky with that Carrol injury. Atlanta won't recover.

I've a Cavs homer ;D I grew up in akron, lived a mile from lebron's project building, he went to my high school. watched all the cavs games as a kid, watched all the Heat games when LBJ moved here to FL, and watched as many as I could this year. So yeah, i'll be delusional about the CLE/GS matchup.
That being said, a lot of people picked CHI to win. A few people picked ATl to win. I called the LBJ to CLE move during the playoffs last year, and I called a magical "ref-guided" cinderella Finals run for the Cavs. A little harder to plan with Love/Irving injuries, but I'm hoping HOU beats up on GS enough to let them lose in the Finals 8)

Hou is not beating up on anyone. they barely even foul the opposing team. It's a track meet where GS will just out run them.
-
lebron and iguadola are lookalike, would be funny to see iggy defend him lol
-
There were some absolutely horrible calls in LeBron's favor every game in the CHI-CLE series.
This was not the reason for the outcome though, CHI played like abject shit.
Just once though I would like to see LeBron get called for the forearm shiver he delivers to his defender every time he drives the lane.

Chicago is a great team on paper. Not on the court. They played like shit all year in my opinion.
Lebron pushes off with his off arm ever time he gets the ball. A forearm shiver is an appropriate way to describe it. It's literally every time he drives. He also takes extra steps on most of his drives. Much easier to get to the basket when you are allowed to do that shit.

Yeah even without Gasol for a game or two (I forget if he missed one or two) they should have been able to roll over a Cleveland playing without Love for the entire series. I don't think they shot much over 40% in any of the last five games and you can't do that and win an NBA playoff series against anyone.
LeBron is a great player but anyone who thinks there's a case to be made between him and Jordan is a youngblood or a delusional homer. Jordan was like watching a superhero movie in real life. If LeBron is still wrecking the league and winning MVPs and titles at age 35 I might reconsider.
-
agreed lebron does travel like crazy.
remember what LITTLE men look like in the playoffs, as they get further in the playoffs.
Iverson.... Rose... they're insane for some plays, but their little legs get tired. In Game 7 against CLE, those shots won't drop... but the drives to the basket will still be falling. LITTLE players are awesome early in the series... remember iverson won a game in the Finals... CHI won game 1 this year... and then reality sets in, the refs swallow whistles, and those little bumps add up fast. you can't knock a Shaq' or Lebron's rhythm when they're driving by bumping them, but you wreck a 3 point shooter by doing it... and as the close games go on, refs let guys bump each other.
plus Curry has kinda a punchable face. And I am a cleveland homer, there's always that.

eh, Jordan got SO MANY of those little tic tac fouls that lebron doesn't get.
And Jordan played against slower, smaller players. There was no global game back then. Tall ass, slow Ewings... Lebron is playing against small fwds that are 6 foot 11.
Note:
Curry's out there taking TUNNEL shots for the media tonight. That's amateur hour shit lol!

I saw a stat today that said the record for three-pointers (no homo) in a single playoffs is 58, in 21 games by Reggie Miller in like 2000. Curry already has 52 in 11 games so far so he's going to smash that.
Don't think I've seen a high-volume scorer before who gets such a large % of his points from threes.

Oh come on now.
- LeBron gets whistled for fouls at a historically low rate (his average is about the same as Jordan's lowest season ever). But I'm sure it's just because he's such a special defender ::)
- LeBron averages 8.5 free throw attempts per game, Jordan averaged 8.2. But I'm sure it's because he's a more aggressive player than Michael Jordan.
- Jordan prevented some of the best players of all-time from ever winning a title while he was playing. Malone; Barkley; Ewing; Robinson and Olajuwon never won shit until he retired; Shaq couldn't beat him unless he was rusty from riding minor league baseball buses and benches for the past year; probably others I'm forgetting. The Eastern Conference in particular was way stronger top to bottom in Jordan's days. LeBron's never had to go through anyone even close to the level of Riley's Knicks or Heat or Larry Brown's Pacers to even get to the Finals.

Kind of a double edge sword for Harden. The Rockets are in the games late because of him but also they don't win because of him. Two games with the ball in his hands and a need for a quick shot, Harden doesn't make or even take that shot. He barely included any teammates in both 4th quarters. He is trying to do it all by himself. The games Houston won vs. Clippers weren't because of Harden, the Rockets actually did better when Harden wasn't hogging the ball. Guys like Brewer getting 15 4th quarter points etc... But two game Harden has been a ball hog. Brewer never touched the ball. He is helping and killing his team at the same time.

I can't believe that the Rockets had a timeout and never used it. Dumbest fucking move ever. How do they not call it and design a play for the last potential game winning shot. You know GS is going to heavily guard Harden and Howard so there'd be at least one player open for a shot. Rookie move by the rockets
-
rockets have the inbred look in their eyes. it's undeniable. they make blake griffin look like Einstein.
-
Rockets fans on the radio talking about how close the games are and now playing at home they'll win the close ones. Sorry to tell them that it doesn't work that way. A few years back someone was playing the Spurs and they had two close games. Then travelled home and the Spurs beat them by 30 or something.
-
Random thought
if you think about it the way Kobe mimics Jordan in every way it's kind of fucking creepy and stalkerish.
there are many YouTube videos regarding their similarities.Kobe should see a therapist.

Good call by not calling a timeout, IMO. Golden state is one of the best defensive teams in the league so no reason to give them a chance to setup when Barnes fell down and Green was also kind of out of the picture.
I'll take my chances with one of the top players in the game/top open court players in Harden.
It was the best scenario. Just didn't work out as harden got a bit out of control or skittish.
You possibly could say that maybe he should have called a timeout when ball was given to Howard but refs may not have caught it/too much time elapse to make it worthwhile.
All in all a good no call in my mind, though.

I'm hearing he didn't call it on purpose, I think he didn't realize he had the timeout. 100% of the time you call it and design a play. Too much could go wrong with 8 seconds left.
-
he had 8 seconds. you run it to half court, you realize you are trapped, and you take the TO with 3 seconds left to draw up a play. theyre only down by 1. they could lob it to dwight, that's nearly unstoppable. or to a cutting harden to slash in for a foul/basket.
next year, harden will take the timeout. You get wise by making mistakes.

I'm a Hawk's fan but I have to admit , The Cav's with JR Smith ate them up in the 2nd half of game 1.

Yep and Lebron played like a kunt with 6 minutes left. He knew JR was hot, 5 of those threes he hit he was heavily guarded. James refused to pass it to him. Didn't want JR to be the hero. On about 5 of the last 7 plays the Cavs had James held on to the ball to run out the clock. Then drove in for a shitty shot and missed and they almost blew the game because of him. James purposely didn't listen to the coach and held on to the ball so he can finish with the most points. James knows that if they win a championship he wants 100% of the credit for bringing it back to Cleveland and doesn't want a bench player to get the glory as saving the Cavs. Fuck Lebron.

It was way worse early in his career. Remember how his interviews SOUNDED like MJ? The rape charge caused him to open up I think.

People also need to realise Harden got trapped in the PERFECT double team on the break, couldn't have worked any better.

You're done fool. You think you're Hakeem Olajuwon.....but you ain't.

Lol wow 35 point blowout

The league should do everyone a favor and just call ut a series after 3 wins and move this shit along to the finals already

I pray for Golden State to beat the Cavs.
BTW (not that it matters) but Korver is out for the rest of the playoffs with an ankle injury.

Can we just get to Golden State and Cleveland already?
-
Everyone notice how good Shumpert and J.R. Smith are doing with the Cavs. You would have thought those two, along with Carmelo and Tyson Chandler would make for a good team. That's what a shitty coach and front office do for you. :D
-
korver was a terrible defender. it was like 5-on-4. they'll be better without him.

I think the mentality a Jordan, Lebron, Magic, Bird etc brings is huge for rewiring certain players minds to become winners.

Cavs win one game at best ;D

People forget that a younger lebron, not as smart as he is today, made it to the finals with four NOBODIES on the cavs a few years back.
Sure, they lost, but this cavs team is much better. People said CHI would win. many in the media actually bet on atlanta to win the series. I am betting on Cavs to beat golden state, even if i'm the only one. GS is just the west coast version of the Hawks. Great regular season record, and they'd good when things are going their way.
-
Golden State is definitely better than Atlanta but there are both unproven teams. GS "should" beat Cleveland but it's no guarantee.
You have to respect Lebron's greatness but I'd love to see him lose another finals. That shit would be so funny.
-
Bird and magic lost finals. It'd suck but still, he played in 2015. All this stuff about how the 75 lakes would have done today lol, they'd be small and slow.
-
I pray for Golden State to beat the Cavs.
BTW (not that it matters) but Korver is out for the rest of the playoffs with an ankle injury.
They will. Golden State in 6.

Cavs beat warriors in 7 games

Lebron plays in the east, as talented as he is if he played in the west he isn't sniffing 5 straight finals appearances, its no accident he is 2 out of 5 in the finals, soon to be 2 out of 6 finals, and it took him joining super best friends team 1, then joining super best friends team 2 when team 1 got old, staying in the East both times.Just like nobody gave a fuck Magic made 9 NBA finals in the god awful eighties western conference, playing 30 win teams while coasting to the finals each year, that logic applies here too.
-
Cavs beat warriors in 7 games
Hahahaha. GS is not losing 4 of 7 to anyone.
-
Lebron shooting only 43% in the playoffs so far and tonight he is 0-10 from the field. LOL.
That HGH must have worn off.
-
Right on point TNT comes out making excuses for him talking about all his injuries.

i'll agree there :-)
CAVS have this ability to cause very good teams to unravel. There's no doubt that CHI was built to beat the Cavs... and CHI was in their heard.
Then against ATL, which many people picked to beat CLE... Cavs are in their head, trolling, goading them into being ejected, rolling over 2 players' ankles. They'll definitely do that shit to Clay or Steph. And yes, Kyrie is going to shit all over Steph and poke, annoy, fck with him. Curry may get rattled.
Cavs are shrewd. Rolling over people's ankles, that's some dirty shit, and they'll definitely do taht to Golden State.

I get it, its your home town, but the cavs are going to get stomped.I just read Curry made 77 three pointers in a row in a practice last month, for anyone who has played the game that is fucking insane.I once hit 55 in a row from the free throw line and was impressed.

Look at the way JR Smith just faceblasted that kid Bazemore. In the FINALS, the Cavs are going to keep on crippling people and playing brutal. They will clobber little-assed Curry, they will injure or at least beat on him continually.
No Kyrie Irving and they're rolling without trying.
I know Curry is good, I get that. I know their team is solid. And I'd be the first to admit the Spurs would rip CLE in the Finals.
But lebron's been there. Miller too. gumby-hair and JR and vets. Kyrie is shrewd. On the other hand, the GS dudes haven't been there.
The cavs won't let GS play GS basketball. Period. They'll make it a brawl. Curry will get that ankle rolled by that little ankle roller benevidebeou.

Everything in the East in playing out exactly how I thought it would. I predicted all of this before the playoffs even started. It just illustrates what a joke of a conference the East is. I knew the Bulls sucked(even though I hoped they would prove me wrong). I knew the Hawks were a fucking joke. Like I said long ago, Lebron gets to waltz right into the NBA Finals virtually un-opposed.......again. He doesn't even need Kevin Love or Kyrie Irving. lol.
My only hope is that the Warriors are as good as I think they are and that they will win the Championship.

The Warriors win easily
They have too many weapons and a very deep team. The shooters of the Cavs won't play well...
LeBron 2-4 in the finals soon lol
-
at the very least - I think we can all agree - the shady, crooked-ass NBA will do everything it can to make it a 7 game series.
GS will shoot the lights out, but Cavs will be allowed to play dirty and hurt people. They've done it every series, and they've gotten players to melt every series. They're the Pistons of the 80s without the bad boys name.
IF the NBA lets it get down to a 7th game, lebron will find a way to win.

Lol at counting LeBron out of the finals. GS isn't San Antonio. I personally believe Cleveland will somehow win this in 6 or 7. LeBron will will his way to win. Defense will step up. Put LeBron on Curry and it becomes a different series.

It's not about LeBron, he's gonna do his thing regardless.
The others of the Cavs won't play well and Irving is banged up. Barnes and Iguodala will play Lebron tougher than anyone has this postseason...
Klay hasn't played that well this postseason, so he's due to explode soon...
And if LeBron wants to guard Curry lol would play to the Warriors favor, he will be so tired come crunch time.
Warriors in 5

I hate Lebron but you have to give it to the guy. He's fucking awesome at basketball. He plays smarter now than he used to so he is at a whole other level.

Golden state just let a shitty Rockets team start the game 19-3.
If they give that kind of padding to Cavs, they aren't going to be coming back. Cause suddenly that's a 28 point lead when lebron smells blood.

Warriors allowed a shitload of points in this 1st quarter.
Rockets scored 80 points in ALL of game 3. They've scored 34 points in 8 minutes tonight lol.
CLE gets hot, they can't stop cleveland.
-
CLE is way better offensively than HOU
https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/offensive-efficiency/
And Rockets are leading by 23... they just dropped 45 points on GS in the 1st quarter.
Sorry, but all this kneepadding for how great the Warriors are... they can get their asses kicked by a weak team like HOU.
Now, picture belineveduea undercutting the GS guards. Picture LeBron out of control offensively. They won't give up the lead like HOU probably will tonight lol.
-
Cavs fans hoping Curry is seriously injured ;D
-
Well there goes the warriors season
-
That shot by Harden, Jesus :o
Too bad it didn't count...
-
Cavs fans hoping Curry is seriously injured ;D
He'll be fine. He's young, he'll recover for the CLE series.
What I saw was inexperience. He put himself in a terrible position, making that jump with that much momentum. Dude, you're up 3 games and your team is coming back. You don't leap 3 feet off the ground at that angle to stop a layup on a dude that's 6 inches taller than you.
Experienced guard just fouls him or gives up the basket. He's trying to be "man does not fly in house of mutumbo" down there. He's gotta be smarter than that.
I was more worried about that right shoulder/arm when he landed. it got tucked under him.
Warriors will win tonight, HOU has shot their inbred nut.
-
Dwight Howard just threw an elbow/hit to the face of Gasol. Looks like he will be ejected.
Dudes, he did this EXACT SAME SHIT to get himself ejected from the SWEEP GAME of his last game in LA Lakers, do yall remember that?
Total bitch move by Howard... they're still up by 11 points. He's scared to be on the floor for the sweep. Punk.

Curry is back in now.

If they tossed Horford last night they should have tossed Howard tonight. This could be upgraded to a flagrant 2 which would get Howard suspended for the next game. Stay tuned.

agreed. It was way worse than last night. I think the only saving grace for Howard is that the other dude outright shoved him first, and the refs didn't call it. They watch the replay and realize it was a half-reaction.
Howard loves to get ejected on the last game of the season, punk move.
Rockets suck. They'll find a way to blow an 13 point lead with six minutes left.

Looks like the Rockets have some heart. Won a game.

Did GS cover up Curry concussion? Sure looked out of it when he returned.

Not sure why he came back. I can see if the game was close but Houston was hitting everything. There was no point. They should have let Curry rest.
You know this morning he's waking up with a goose egg on the back of his head and super sore neck. They'll wrap it up at home tomorrow but Curry shouldn't have came back last night. Funny how Thompson who's been shit all playoffs finally goes off when Curry was out of the game. Seems they may be a killer duo but Thompson might be better off on a different team where he's the star.
I'm utterly fascinated with the Cavs. If anyone told you the Cavs with Irving and Love out would sweep Atlanta and make it to the finals they'd call you crazy. Bron will be a pain for GS but I think Green, Barbosa and Igoudola can swap out defending him and wear him down.

People underestimated the Cavs against CHI and ATL.
People overestimated the Warriors as they cakewalked... but this series would be 3-1, with HOU leading, if Harden had an IQ over 80 in the final minute of each game. Lebron has that IQ.
We have seen GS is no longer this unstoppable beast... they're just the PHX suns from back in the barkley days... incredibly good matchup for western conference ball, and streaky 3 point shooting that turns to shit when they feel their backs to the wall.

Bron is probably the hungriest player on any of the 4 teams left for a Championship. If he can just quit charging the net and instead of slamming it down and doing those stupid outlet passes so someone else can miss a 3, he'll give his team a chance. Bron wants to win for Cleveland real bad. The Cavs have a lot of contracts that need re-upping and this is the season for them to make or break.
I hope people see the truth now about NBA coaches. Spolestra was considered to be one of the best when he had James and once James left the truth showed. Now this rookie coach how Bron doesn't even listen to will get to the finals. Bron can make anyone look good.
As for Cavs vs. GS. I don't know who other than Irving can defend Curry. Irving will need to be fully healed before the final. Green will match up better against Bron than he does Harden. Thompson will be a big factor for GS. He'll need to hit shots for them to win. Igoudala needs to be better off the bench. A big factor can be Bogut. Bogut can outmuscle Mosgove. He can be a key for them if he can get 15-10 a night. Will be a fun series for sure.

Did you say barbosa? lol.
Green, barnes, klay and iggy will be the only ones on him. Barbosa is a small shooting guard, who is mediocre at best on defense.

One win away bitches!!!!!!!!!!
Go Cavs

Its crazy how many bandwagon Cav and Warrior fans are out there. They are almost as bad as all of the instant Seahawk fans that showed up out of no where.

I'm a Hawks fan and was thrilled to see the ATL team finally compete on a high level after 2 decades of mediocre play. BUT the Cavs have really played well and now up 3-0 on my beloved Hawks.
I'm not a Lebron fan, but I thought he showed remarkable character in game 3 playing hurt and scoring the game winning 3 in OT. Now the social media is mocking him.
http://yahoo.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201505/lebron-james-cleveland-cavaliers-nba-playoffs-atlanta-hawks-meme
I find that sort of thing disgusting and crass. Lebron showed some class and played as a team leader and many mock him for it, wtf. I just don't understand that sort of thing.
I thought game 3 was exciting and admire Lebron for his overall effort and sense of team play for the win.

While I think the Warriors are much better than CHI or ATL this fact remains...They are unproven in the pressure cooker of the NBA Finals.
I think they should beat the Cavs and I think they will, but they shouldn't plan their victory parade just yet. Lebron might just go HAM on them and if their 3's aren't dropping the Warriors could find themselves in deep shit.
-
The finals should be interesting for sure. GS issue is they need to outscore you to win. Yeah, I know that sounds stupid but their whole game plan is to outshoot you. You barely see GS winning a 79-77 game. Their defense has been shit against Harden. They leave that fucker wide open half the game. The key for the CAVS is that James needs to do it. None of his driving to the net and passing it out shit. It's got to be James taking it to the net and slamming it or getting fouled. He's got to play out of his mind and GS won't have a defensive answer for him.

yeah I see a whole lotta CLE fans appearing suddenly, it's funny. When I lived up there, the browns were 100x more popular than the Cavs. And they were good back then - CHI blocked them a few years, but we got past the first round a few times.
for all their "best guard combo ever" talk, the Warriors are only up by 2 points, halfway thru the 2nd quarter.
It could be HOU winning tonight 4-1, if Harden was a little smarter in the final minute of games.

All of a sudden all the asian and wite people wanna drive over the bridge and watch the oakland warriors play ::)

He does it every time.

What a joke

It's good to see those two stupid kunts Dwight Howard and James Harden going home. Silly phaggotts.
240's correct, Dwight trying to bitch out again several times in this series but the officials letting him get away with it.
Harden completely shitting the bed. Shooting airballs, dribbling the ball of his foot. Fuck you dude.

Jr Smith and Shumpert won't play well, gonna be in foul trouble. The Warriors have too much firepower and a nice bench. LeBron gonna need to average 40 like Mike but can't lol

Must be hard for him to be a commentator on these games.
What's the deal with Kerr and Curry? At the end Curry tried to hug him to celebrate and it looked like Kerr didn't want anything to do with it. He tried to break free from the hug and move away.
I hate the finals format of 2-3-2. Kind of hope Cavs win 2 so GS can at least win it at home.

bwahahaha the NBA announcers do everything they can to excuse and defend.
Curry shuld have never come back in. shooting airballs, looking dazed too. Both players probably had serious concussions and should not have played. The NFL has strict policies now... looks like the NBA needs them too.

These accomplishments have been possible because of an organizational culture where input from all parts of the organization has been welcomed and valued, there has been a willingness to participate in a free flow of information, and there have been clear and consistent goals.
While the head of each department of the organization must be free to make final decisions regarding his department, there must be free and open interdepartmental discussion and consideration of everyone's ideas and opinions. These internal discussions must not be considered an invasion of turf, and must remain private. Teams that consistently perform at the highest levels are able to come together and be unified across the organization-staff, players, coaches, management and ownership. When everyone is on the same page, trust develops and teams can grow and succeed together. Unfortunately, there has been a departure from this culture.
To ensure that the Chicago Bulls can continue to grow and succeed, we have decided that a change in the head coaching position is required. Days like today are difficult, but necessary for us to achieve our goals and fulfill our commitments to our fans. I appreciate the contributions that Tom Thibodeau made to the Bulls organization. I have always respected his love of the game and wish him well in the future.
:o Not sure I've ever seen a more harshly worded announcement, especially considering the guy won about two thirds of his games over the past five years.
This organization always tries to take way too much credit for the "historical success" of the team (i.e. the years 1991-1998). How many playoffs series have the Bulls won when they didn't simultaneously have the best player of all-time and the best "second-best" player of all-time, coached by the best coach of all-time?
-
If CHI wins the series against CLE (and they did win game 1, and should have won game 3), then yes, CHI beats the shit out of ATL and they're in the Finals instead.
Tibbs is a good coach, and he does a lot with a team that's injured half the time. I doubt they're going to suddenly get past CLE because they have a new coach.
-
Chicago would have a been a different team if they got that lazy ass Carmelo in the off season. I bet you they sign Kobe next year who royally fucks up the team.
Lakers should hire Thibs now while they can and get rid of Scott.
-
Now they are saying that Thompson has concussion symptoms. Who the fuck was the doctor that cleared him?

Would ove to see them do this actually (I'm a Bulls fan). This team is going nowhere, may as well shake things up. Let Kobe hang around and chuck for a few years and break the scoring record.

Kobe has been very vocal that Chicago is the other team he's always wanted to play for. It coincides with his Jordan obsession.

Kobe isn't going to Chicago or anywhere else. That ship sailed in 2007.

LOL, that is Lebron's luck. Right before the NBA Finals the two best players for the other team get the shit knocked out of them and get concussions. Both of them! You think that could affect their games a little? They are mainly long range shooters after all. Fucking Lebron. lol.

3 of the top ATL players went down.
and if Gasol plays the entire series for CHI, that series can go sideways fast.
However, Irving looks like Jimmer out there, and Kevin Love is already buying purple and gold sweatsuits, so Lebron is definitely picking up more slack.

deladova or whatever his stupid name is -as stupid as his ugly face- will probably brake thompson and curry's legs in the course of the first two games.
NAsty little fucker has a tendency to always provoke bad shit by "falling" on oposite players. Most annoying player ever.

Dirty player. He does this move every time.
1) locate an angle between opponent's knee and the ball
2) once you discover that angle, dive along that trajectory as hard and fast as you can
It's justified and the league allows it. You're allowed to take away a player's right to space if the ball goes anywhere near him. Odd loophole there. Delly can just dive thru a player's knee because the ball is on the other side of him. ANd he doesn't dive with his arms... rather, he drives his entire torso thru the player, even putting his shoulder/back first to protect his own belly, groin and face.
The league allows it, and they shouldn't. You can't chop a person's knees because he stands between you and the ball. and you can BET he'll be doing everything possible to discover that angle and take out Curry's knee. Only when a reigning MVP has his ACL destroyed will the NBA decide to change it.

I really tried to support this clown when he played in LA but he's just a giant douchebag. Still committing the same dumb offensive fouls, still bricking free throws, still turning the ball over, still goaltending instead of blocking shots after all these years. He's tremendously athletic but he's a dumb player, plain and simple. He's got no heart, no grit, no balls. Mentally weak.

Yep
-
Looking forward to a great Finals. I am definitely hoping the Warriors win. They are like basketball's version of the Greatest Show on Turf Rams, from the late 90's/early 2000's.
-
I initially thought this long layoff would benefit the Cavs and hurt the Warriors but after the head injuries this is going to be the Warriors advantage. I want 7 games though because once this is done there's shit in the sports world until NFL training camp starts.
-
Warriors' offensive coach just took a job for the Pelicans. Might lead to a little awkwardness in the locker room that their main scoring coach is bailing in 2 weeks.
The layoff will give Klay thompson time to heal, but more importantly, it'll let Kyrie Irving have a week to heal. If Irving comes in at 95%, the Cavs have a very good chance. If he comes in at 70%, Lebron will have a hard time carrying the entire team.
If it goes 7 games, then Lebron and cavs win.
If it goes 5 games, then Golden State wins due to having 150% better team out there.
-
Barkley has CLE in 6. He says Mosgov down low will beat up the warriors and wear them down.
They say steph will be worn out by the end of the series. He says Cavs have more crazy players, the ones that go off in teh Finals and are just so tired of hearing about curry and thompson.
He said it'll be more mental than talent. JR Smith goes off for a few games. Cavs are just more hungry.

Yup, he is a talentless ass. Just uses his physical abilities to jump and slam a ball, otherwise he's a lazy piece of shit that is too busy making children with 100 baby mamas.

went to the gym at 5am this morning, so some young hombre rocking a brand new blue and yellow matching sweat shirt and hat from the Golden State Warriors
i said to him, yea sweet lid and matching hoodie you got there hombre , you from san fran or oaktown, he was like no, im from Los Angeles born and raised, ....ok ::)
lol fucking ban wagon fans out there today, whatchout for them getbiggers

I'm glad this shit finally starts tonight. Sick of ESPN flip flopping. Two days ago it was Cavs winning in 5. yesterday it was the Warriors winning in 1/2 game where Cleveland just forfeits at halftime tonight.

Allen Iverson’s infamous 2002 “practice” rant may have been the result of more than pent-up frustration.
According to Kent Babb, author of the new Iverson biography “Not A Game,” the mercurial 76ers star may have been drunk at the time of the YouTube-classic press conference.
The presser came a few hours after a meeting between Iverson, coach Larry Brown and general manager Billy King, according to a Bleacher Report story in which Iverson was quoted as saying he felt he would have been traded if the meeting to discuss his attitude problems and questionable practice habits didn’t go well.
“They would have pulled the trigger,” Iverson said in the story. “I knew it.”
Modal Trigger

Babb tweeted that Brown believed Iverson went to a bar after the tense meeting and returned very drunk a few hours later, perhaps explaining why he flew off the handle talking about practice.
“Some were entertained, and others watched the train wreck unfold, knowing from experience that Iverson was drunk,” Babb wrote.
According to the book, King tried unsuccessfully to think of a way to interrupt the press conference.

Warrior fans acting like first time amateurs , standing up after every basket exchange ::) lol

Dear nba faggott commissioner thanks forthe extended layoff and shitty sloppy game one :-\
-
Golden state starts the game 3 for 15 from the field.
yeah, best shooting team ever. ::)
People been understaimating cavs all year... cavs win whether they're hot or cold. GS has to be hot shooting to win. At some point, both teams will get tired, sore, bored, emotional, down, or rusty. Cavs play well despite that. GS cannot.
\Cavs leading 19-11
-
Curry taking fadeaway 3's from five feet outside the line... with 16 seconds left on the shot clock lol.
Cavs lead 26-13. Warriors are rattled. They're either going to in 4-1 or lose 4-1. They're all confidence. and when it doesnt go their way, they're in trouble. But when they're hot, they're insanely good.
-
If this goes 7 games , it will end june 19...... june 19
Why are they rushing the finals :-\

Just the end of the first quarter of game 1....lol

and the season starts around Halloween already. Unreal. But the top guys are making a quarter of a million - per game - they're not complaining :)
CLE missing Love and 1/2 of Irving, and they're showing the world they are here to win, not "hold their own" against a GS coronation.

Tied game already....lol
Warriors getting rid of those Finals jitters now...

LeBron too tired to take over in overtime

Lebron in a nutshell.This is why he fails more often than not, always plays a great first 42 minutes or so then shits the bed for the last 6.Its like he gets nervous in the final minutes, gets more passive.Biggest difference is that Jordan would have gotten off a great high percentage shot 20 feet or in rather than Lebron shooting some idiotic 3 point fadeaway in the final seconds of regulation.

-
Oh Lebron. Big when it doesn't count and then fades away into oblivion when the game's on the line. Disregarding that horrible fade away jumper when he still have 4 seconds to drive in, twice in the last couple of minutes he did the same Lebron shit where he drives in and then instead of powering in a jam, getting fouled and 1, he dishes it out to some scrub who misses. Same stupid shit by Lebron. Did he even play in overtime? Dude was MIA that entire 5 minutes. Curry played with a little nerves but he shook it off later in the game and I expect to see him do better in game 2. Thompson was huge for GS. The bench killed the Cavs. Oh well Lebron. You'll go down as the greatest Choker next to Manning. You can always thank Ray Allen for your second ring and a healthy Wade and Bosh for your first.
-
CLE played right into GSW's hands: single-cover LeBron and make the rest of Cleveland's dumpster-fire of a team hit contested shots.
Would be a different story with a healthy Irving and Love but CLE has nobody else who can get their own shot consistently, no chance they win this if Irving is out or not at close to 100%.

Love has no relevance since he didn't help the team get here. He's a non story. I don't like how the coach played irving for 44 minutes after he's been sitting out for a while. He should have used the same small lineup they did against the Hawks and slowly let Irving in off the Bench to test his knee. it was a bad decision to change the way they were playing that got them to this point. I hate when coaches do this shit. Stick to the fucking gameplan.
James though just fades when the lights are brightest. He's a mental midget at times. Shumpert hit two big 3s in the 2nd to stop a Warriors run and instead of keeping him in with the hot hand they took him out of the game. Stupid rookie coach mistakes.
The fact is the Warriors played like shit and won. This was the chance the Cavs had and they blew it.
-

Most teams are banged up coming into the playoffs...
The Warrior's have some guys banged up too, and the Cavs have been playing this way during the playoffs, only people are talking about it now since they're facing a good team and lost.

Changing my prediction from Golden State in 6 to 5.

yep 44 and when the game was close with a few minutes to go and into overtime he pulled a Houdini and vanished. Remember it's not how you start but how you finish.
-
and jordan can thank phil for his 6 because he won shit without him
E
Yep because it was Phil playing out of his mind hitting 3's from all over. It was Phil jumping over everyone and hitting jump shots from anywhere. Or do you want to give credit to superstars like Wentworth or Longley?
-

GS' plan worked out. They won't double LeBron and force him to take 30+ shoots per game. He made 18/38 or something like that which is a great percentage for that many shoots. Without Irving, what's it gonna be? 40+ shots? Expect the percentage to drop. I wouldn't want to be a Cavs fan right now.

Can you please just admit that Lebron did what he often does, play great and then disappear at crunch time. He is the anti-Michael Jordan.
And please stop bringing up Phil Jackson because he doesn't have shit to do with your boy.

I guess LeBron can credit Erik Spoelstra for his meager two rings because he hasn't won shit without him :)
Isn't going to get one this year either, maybe next year.

The shitty east got worst with Chicago's coach getting canned. The east is a cake walk for any half decent team so the Cavs can make the finals 4 years in a row, but that's where it ends for them each time when they meet the West Champs

Assuming Irving is ok and Love doesn't bolt, they should be the top team in the East for at least a couple more years unless LeBron really drops off fast or New Orleans manages to pair another major talent with Anthony Davis (he's a beast, future MVP no doubt).

He (LeBron) is weird in that he seems to step up in terms of having a good overall game in big games, like I bet if you ran the numbers his stats in Game 1's, elimination games, etc. are relatively good compared to his averages, but then he'll do something in those games like go for the whole OT period without scoring until the defense gifts him a bunny when the game's over.

New Orleans is in the west. So yes, the West Champs will win for a while.

Nope. The Cavs really have no hard teams in the East. Unless the Wizards make a move for Aldrige or Marc Gasol, they won't have much trouble.
I'm not sure how long the Blatt, James relationship will last. Late in the game James misses and Mosgov kicks out the rebound back to James and he goes and calls a time out and the look on Blatt's face was WTF! lol. Lebrom won't listen to his coach and he's essentially killing his team by doing that.

wait. So now the commissioner is saying they may change the seeding and do a 1-16 format. If that is the case the Cavs will never make it to the finals.

If they do that, then they should get rid of conferences and divisions all together.
That doesn't sound like a bad idea actually........all 30 teams compete during the season, top 16 make playoffs, and have seeding similar to the NCAA tournament.

I just read about it, he isn't just talking about seeding the top 16 from both conferences as a whole, as he said that would mean more travel, i.e this year golden state would have played Boston in the first round.Rather having each conference seed 1-8 by record rather than having division champs seeding higher.

That's not fair, the Cavs weren't winning the series with a healthy Kyrie. Lebron is an all timer just not the GOAT.

I'm tired of excuses like that. They are mega millionaires playing for a billion dollar league. The spike in interest, and potential revenue increase would outweigh players crying over flights from LA to New York.
I'm sure they could figure something out.

yep 44 and when the game was close with a few minutes to go and into overtime he pulled a Houdini and vanished. Remember it's not how you start but how you finish.
even jordan admits he missed more game winning shots than he made
his 44 points got them to OT, that team is in the lottery without him and that's a fact not an opinion
E
-
Yep because it was Phil playing out of his mind hitting 3's from all over. It was Phil jumping over everyone and hitting jump shots from anywhere. Or do you want to give credit to superstars like Wentworth or Longley?
well you want to give all the credit to bosh and wade while lebron was winning the mvp's, so according to you it had to be phil since jordan didn't win without him since lebron didn't win a title without those guys
i'm just trying to use your "logic"

Lol.
Can you please just admit that Lebron did what he often does, play great and then disappear at crunch time. He is the anti-Michael Jordan.
And please stop bringing up Phil Jackson because he doesn't have shit to do with your boy.
yep lebron sucks because he scored 44 instead of 45
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

Jordan had Pippen and that was it for the first three titles. If anything, that proves that one guy can't win it all by himself.
Lebron had Wade, Bosh, and Ray Allen (which was part of his own big 3 in Boston)
Ray Allen had to take a lesser role off of the bench with the Heat. He still could have easily averaged 20pts per game as a starter on another team.

Back then they played a man's game. They had enforcers and they made you pay for going in the paint. Imagine Lebron driving against the Bad Boy Pistons or the Knicks of the early to mid 90's. Lebron would get closelined, and be out for the year.
I have never seen a guy get so many patty cake calls, especially when he nearly charges on every drive.

Actually LeBron could have done fairly well. I don't like the guy but he's a freak physically. One of the reasons the NBA got pussified is because the Pistons handed Jordan's ass and then the Lakers to them. The 92 Knicks know a lot about patty cake calls. Jordan had the refs doing a nurse's job. Taylor made league to sell t-shirts and sneakers. MJ is the GOAT but part of it is because they changed the rules in order for it to happen.

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
(http://i.imgur.com/9AMyMPR.jpg)

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

His two other superstars are out with injury this time :-\
-
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.
-
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.

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

Getting to the finals and losing is not a great, legacy-boosting accomplishment. It's better than not making the playoffs or losing in the first or second round but that's about it. If it was a big deal, as you contend, then how is Magic inferior to Lebron? Magic went to the finals 9 times out of his 12 years in the NBA? Nobody cares when you lose, they only care when you win.

i wasn't saying magic is inferior to lebron, though now that you mention it he is inferior to lebron
taking a lottery team to the finals is a HUGE accomplishment and lebron is the only player to do that not once but twice
when the heat don't have him they suck and miss the playoffs, when the cavs don't have him they regularly pick number 1 overall

He's out of this world until the final minutes of close games in the playoffs, when the defensive intensity is turned up, when players wake up from coasting through nearly 100 games previous in the season, anyone who has played basketball knows how often plays are taken off until it matters.Its the players who themselves can wake up and go up a notch, Lebron lacks a gear or two.

Don'T sleep, lebron with a win today

cavs are playing some badass defense.
The only Q is whether they can maintain this level of intensity into the 4th quarter. LBJ was too tired to make the final game winner in game 1. it may come down to that again.
At the very least, the whole 'cavs have no chance' should go out the window. They share the ball when irving (today's iverson) isn't playing.
-
Yea , has nothing to do with cavs pressure defence today. ::)
Yep the cavs routinely hold top level offenses to not even 60 points thru three quarters......and it's quite normal for curry to miss almost every shot he takes. All cavs right there. Oh, and that wide open missed dunk was all cavs too. Good point.
Not saying they aren't playing good defense but the score obviously shows that the warriors are clearly helping that out quite a bit. Combo of both, Bud.

Congrat to the Cavs for not getting swept

warriors hit 8 of 10 three-pointers when they have the lead and they're laughing and feeling it.
when they're down by 9 points, they get scared and nervous and every 3 is too strong.
I love this game... everyone hated on the cavs, doubted them. The series doesn't even begin until the home team loses. Barring a CLE collapse (which could still happen, ugh, GS is streaky yet crazy good 3's), it'll be 1-1 and everyone will have to accept it could be 4-1 CLE winning the series.
One stat that really stood out to me - how many of the Cavs lineup had WON a championship after LOSING game 1 of the Finals. Something like 4 or 5 of them, going back to the Mavs title. so these guys didn't melt after losing game 1, but they did learn they can dominate GS on the boards, they can out-D them.... let's face it, warriors play that weak ass west coast defense where you just have to score 120 to the opponent's 109 in order to win.

lololol
the unbeatable warriors are resorting to playing bitch ball, fouling the cavs. 6 point game. shit!!!!!!!!

lebron needs to stop passing. Take it to the rim. I swear, you put Kobe's brain in that body and he's shaqing fools, dunking on half the plays. i do give him props for taking it to the hoop with the game on the line. None of that fadeaway jumped bullshit. He was fouled - anytime outside of the final seconds, the refs call that.
Both games, the Cavs had the game-winner go right off the rim and OT... even if GS wins today, how have they done anything but barely hold on to keep home court advantage?

The cavs are 2 makeable misses at the final possession from winning game 1, and leading this series 2-0.
They blew a massive lead in game 1, and tonight too. Anyone saying GS is better is blind at this point. The teams are pretty equal. The only problem is that this is Steph/Clay's first time to the Finals. Lebron misses ten game-winners in the Finals, and still makes his shots. Curry gets rattled and throws up an airball when he could be winning the game.
Cavs embrace this pressure and won a game on the road. GS actually "stole" game 1. On their own floor.
Going back, Cavs gotta be feeling good. GS must be feeling way less invincible than they did a week ago.

The Warriors don't look like they are ready to be Champions. They have gotten out-played twice in a row for almost the entire games. Choking.
Lebron is playing hard and really trying to carry the Cavs to the title. It does deserve to be noted that he is shooting like shit.
Game 2 = 11-35 from the floor which is 31%. He's just out working everyone to make up for it. Playing poorly in crunch time in both games. He tried hard to piss this game away too but fortunately the Warriors bailed him out.
-
Lebron isnt playing like he WANTS the title. He's playing like he NEEDS the title.
Curry wasn't playing like he lived/died by getting a ring. Clay Thompson didn't look like he needs that win more than food or water. For the first time, Lebron really looked like a Kobe/MJ in the way he was dying for that win last night. His heart was greater than Golden State's. He ovrecame a shitty shiity talent level.
-
What a game! Points below.
1. Lebron played great. Carrying that team of schlubs on his shoulders.
2. Curry is not himself. After that fall in game 4 he hasn't seemed right. I bet he pulls a Pacquiao when the series is done and claims a torn shoulder or something. He's missing his dribbling skills and is losing the ball a lot.
3. Refs were heavy on the whistle. It killed the Warriors transition game and flow. The refs need to sit out the rest of this series. When the refs swallowed the whistle with 3 minutes left the Warriors came to life because they were able to run the court.
4. Lebron needs an Oscar for his crying act when Green hit him in the face. Lebron acting all hurt trying to get the flagrant call, then he drinks his water and seems fine. Someone next to him mentions the camera is still on him and James nods and then starts acting hurt again and once the refs call it a common foul he seems to miraculously heal.
5. Refs ruined this game. It helped play right into the Cavs hands.
6. Lebron was fouled three times on that last drive but glad the refs let it play out.
7. Play of the game was the last shot by curry in regulation. The play of the game was not curry but Tristan Thompson and Schumpert for realizing a foul would give Curry the and-1 and a chance for the lead so both let up last second allowing that shot and only letting the Warriors tie.
8. Offensive rebounding is killing the Warriors. they are used to hitting more shots so they tend to transition to defense than get an offensive board but when they're missing they barely get that second chance. Cleveland is killing them on the boards.
9. Refs ruined the game. Even a buddy of mine who is a new Cavs bandwagoner was laughing at some of the calls during the game.
10. Can James keep up this pace?
11. Is Curry really hurt or is the pressure getting to him?
-
Delly Finals MVP watch and see hahaha

Warriors only played the cavs once in the regular season and LeBron didn't play , if not for the miss by james in the end of game one , cavs would be up 2 - potatos, but its a tied series now.... too soon to put it in the refrigerator?
Ymm no, Lebron played and they won in GS. LeBron had 40 points.

Crazy though that two games in a row the Cavs had the last shot and an offensive rebound that both missed to win the game before overtime. Even though GS ended up winning game 1 they've only had the lead for 28 of the 106 minutes played so far.

Give MJ this exact lineup, put him in lebron's slot. Does that team win this game?

without hand-checking, jordan would be driving to the hole ten more times a quarter, and he'd have missed four seasons with injury from the Knicks clobbering him.

Yeah, I don't know what his deal is. Injuries have made him almost immobile. Is David Lee that bad now that he gets absolutely no playing time? I feel like even when they want to go to a smaller lineup they should try him out as he would still give them some "size" (even though he's not that big) to combat Mozgov a bit. He always played really hard/double double guy.
Checked his stats for the season and over 50% shooting and not bad stats for a guy who played 18min a game.

Cavs went 12-2, GS went 12-3. GS had a tougher road, but in two games against an injured opponent from a shitty conference, they've surrendered home court advantage.
Aside from that, one could argue losing your #2 and #3 player is tough, too. Take away Barnes and Thompson for the playoffs, let's see if GS even makes it to the Finals.
-
On Colin... during the last GS time-out... they're doing some eyeballing on Curry. Maybe he was dazed and confused, and Kerr asked him if he was okay. Then he shoots that airball...
So yeah, maybe Curry is secretly hiding a concussion, hiding head trauma, hiding something major. It'd make sense that he'd try to play thru it - they were planning on a 4 game sweep, Curry figured he'd limp thru it. Suddenly this might get legs... everyone can Tivo it and if he was dazed, it'll be shown.

Golden State in 6. Lebron can't do it by himself. Golden State is too deep, they were getting pushed around by Cleveland. Golden State still have not played their game yet. Steph Curry will break out on tues night.

kyrie irving was listed in the Roaster for yesterdays game because the Cavs dont even have 13 players to fill a full NBA roster

Not so sure. Lebron single handidly almost won the first two games. Just a bad tip or shot from making it. He's making Green look like shit and Green was second for DPOY. The refs did fuck up the game yesterday by slowing it down big time which hurt the Warriors transition game. Right now Curry doesn't seem right and the Warriors have no answer to slow down Lebron. I thought Lebron and Curry would be a wash at 30 points a night but if Curry keeps getting low 20's that 10 point difference can mean a Cavs win.
I'm surprised no one is talking about that EPIC failure of a dunk on a 3 on none by Speights. I'm glad Kerr benched his lazy ass. The fucker barely made it above the rim with 2 fingers on the ball.
As for Bogut. he needs to play the role of enforcer and foul Mosgov and James hard. Who cares if he fouls out as long as he teaches those other two a lesson.

I dunno if Bogut has that in him. Plus the Cavs would then just send Delly to take out Thompson's knees.

I've been a Curry fan since college and only want the Warriors to win because of him. I don't really like the franchise, but I also want them to lose so the thousands of random people wearing Warriors gear can feel bad about their purchase.
-
I am a Lebron fan and want to make this perfectly clear. Sefishly I wanted Lebron to stay in Miami because I wanted to witness a dynasty. There would have been no problem putting players around Lebron to keep it going as witnessed the last 4 years.

LBJ was turning 30, going bald, having another baby and mama just wanted to go home.
IMO, his "Decision 1" to Miami was about getting rings, cementing legacy.
His "Decision 2" last summer, returning to CLE, was about family.
He has 2 rings, he has guaranteed $ for life. It was time to be around family, his hometown, his high school, and probably eventually, his political ambitions. Give him a few years hanging out in Columbus and suddenly he's in the Governor's race... how does he lose?

The Cavs need to let Love go and sign Marc Gasol or Aldridge. The would give the Cavs a crazy front line, especially with Thompson but I think they're happy with Mosgov so they probably won't.
As for Irving. He might be done. Dude is a walking injury and the team seems to do better without him.

Agree about Irving. He cannot stay healthy Irving is a supreme talent but the guy is constantly injured. Aldridge would be a better fit there. Actually he would fit in nicely here in Miami.

I am not sure what Lee's deal is.
He was an "up and coming" star in the league for a while and now he barely sees a floor on a team that would seem well-suited to his skillset.
It is a mysterious sport much like bodybuilding.

Getting that excuse machine fired up a little early I think, haha.
With no Kevin Love and Irving - LeBron has a group of dudes...he just happens to be able to get something out of them. If he gets his FG percentage up taking all those shots there might be a chance they can beat GS.
-
Bottom line is getbiggers have no idea who is going to win this thing. ;D
Two teams have different styles but I think are pretty evenly matched. Lebron has the experience but curry is having a great year and has a full team around him.

Good point. Lee was on top of everyone's trade list a year ago when GS was trying to deal for Dwight Howard and Kevin Love. He was considered their best player above Curry just two years ago. Kind of a big fall for him

I was actually think what happened to Lee a few days ago so I googled him and found out he has struggled with injuries but also his playing time has cut way back because of his defense and the simple fact they are better with him off the floor...even though he is good. Seems weird. At least he's the highest paid warrior. :D

If he wins this series with a cast of miscreants and Tristan Thompson and JR Smith you may be correct.

True. it would negate all those that say Lebron can only win with Super Stars. I have to laugh when they keep talking about the bum JR Smith as a deciding factor. All smith needs to do is stay out of Lebron's way. It's still a long series. Either Curry is in a slump or he's injured and hiding it. If it's just a slump he'll break out tonight, if its an injury they will struggle to win this series. Klay can be great but he makes some serious dumb shots and loses the ball a lot. last game twice on a fast break when they just needed 2 for a lead he stops and pulls up for a horrible missed 3. Not sure what he's thinking.
-
the minute Curry hit the ground, I was way more worried for that back/shoulder/trap than I was for his noggin.
that's a serious drop, serious trauma and impact on an area of the body requiring exact touch to drain deep 3's very quickly.
Three weeks ago, he doesn't shoot an airball on that final shot, no way.
it;s nice to see so many people jumping on the 'lebron can win it' bandwagon. The Warriors are the 1993 PHX Suns, all the way.

A couple times Curry tried his normal cross over dribble and lost the ball. his shoulder is not rotating like it did before. I bet he has a slight tear. He was bricking his 3's. Usually when he misses it's a matter of inches but he's missing a lot of shots horribly. I hope the Cavs send Ariza a ring for fucking up the Warriors top 2 stars.

You think Cowherd is trolling? He is a troll. That's his job. He's entertaining at times but he just trolls people constantly. but he is correct that Deli is not the reason why Curry is sucking. Probably a mix of being a bit hurt and the pressure of the finals.

live by the 3, you will eventually die by it, its a very low percentage shot , they have no other game plan other the the 3 point game
-

It drove me crazy last game when all they needed was 2 but still kept trying for 3s, especially on a fast break where they have a 99% chance of scoring a 2, then pull up and miss the 3. At one point the Cavs were up by 8, Thompson drove in and was right under the basket and instead of hitting the layup dished the ball out for a 3 and missed then the Cavs came down and James hit a ridiculous 3. So instead of being down by 6 they were down by 11.

He had two bad games against the Timberwolves too. He's breaking out tonight I say 29 points for him.
-
Curry shot 10/20 overall and 2/6 from three in Game 1, that's not incredible but hardly what I'd call a slump. He had a bad game the other night, it happens.
Doesn't look hurt to me but I haven't really been watching closely.

I agree with the above sentiments. In the playoffs three pointers are fool's gold.
Also, Lebron is averaging 41.5 points, 12 rebounds, and 8.5 assists through the first two games. He's not shooting well but he's making up for it with hustle and determination.

Think about this....
GS has to win 3 out of 4 games in order to win the title.
Seeing them trail by double digits in all 3 games... doe anyone really think Warriors can grab 3 outta 4 games? They required magic streaks to lose the last 2 closely, and game 1 was nearly a cavs win too. GS should be swept on Thursday night if Shumpert's shot goes another inch.
The true loser here is Cleveland fans... because even if they win the title, they'll still live in Cleveland.

Dont compare what is a Lamborghini lakers and ferrari bulls to a ford pinto Cavaliers
but... but... how else do you expect them to discredit the greatness of LeGod?
LeGod is like a self made millionaire
jordan, magic, and kobe are the kids born into wealth and had everything handed to them on a silver platter

hey bud if you don't want to appreciate being a witness that's your problem, you're just making yourself look foolish
this isn't bodybuilding where we are forced to dwell on the studs of the past, greatness exists today in the nba

There are some fucking morons and haters to be talking shit about LeBron. He's doing it with his two main guys out. That is beyond epic. If you dipshits don't want to recognize that, that's your business. I don't give a shit if he went 20 for 75. Bottom line is he's getting it done in a way no one else has in the Finals.
-
you're right he is not those guys, he's better than them
he's the guy that wasn't handed stars to play with like jordan, magic, and kobe
how many times do i have to remind you the cavs don't get kyrie if LeGod stayed in cleveland, though he is proving kyrie is not needed
bosh one of the best players in the nba LOL

The NBA Refs will even the series at 2-2 next game.
-
Lebron James is winning me over a bit. Right now he's a one man team. He's playing really hard and really smart. Willing the Cavs to victory like Jordan, Magic, Bird, and Kobe have done. Except his roster pretty much sucks. Absolute shit supporting cast.
He's a player, the coach and the GM. They should sell him the team so he can be the next Jackie Moon. Owner, player, coach, GM.
Jordan is still greater and more skilled but you'd be hard pressed to find someone "better" than Lebron James.
-
The NBA Refs will even the series at 2-2 next game.
they will certainly try. But they can be defeated. I remember the dream Kobe vs Lebron matchup they wanted, and Dwight Howard single-handedly beat the refs to make it to the Finals.
The Cavs will have to establish a 19 point lead, and actually keep it, in order to defeat the refs. The way those pieces of shit tried to give the ball back to GS for the final shot - even as the announcer screamed Thompson was OUT OF BOUNDS, TOUCHING THE BALL... amazing. Total fix. The office in NY must have called it in, because the refs suddenly "decided" to look at the replay.

Spot on.

Shumpert's shoulder wrecked. Delly in hospital with cramping after game.
Statistically, there is NO WAY that CLE should win this series lol. Unreal. But GS has to win THREE OUT OF FOUR in order to win the title.
-
A few things. Why isn't GS running the floor early and waiting until the 3rd? Those fucking turnovers. Hold on to the ball. Seriously. They are trying 1 too many passes. In the 4th they had an open 2 that would have cut the lead to 2 and instead they flip it out for a 3 and miss. Why the fuck did they need a 3 at that minute?
Then Lebron James slide tackling Curry with no foul and then a loose ball, everyone diving and they call a foul on the Warriors? WTF! The refs have sucked cock all series.
And Mark Jackson. yeah, we get it, you're butt hurt about being fired but he is spending the entire 3 hours of the broadcast sucking James cock with this balls in each cheek. It's nauseating.
Delavadova has that face you just want to pound your fists into.
-
Every team needs a goon/scrapper to do the dirty work. Bulls had Rodman, Spurs had Bowen, Lakers had (I don't give a shit who the Lakers had ;D ) Delly is that dude. Hustle/effort goes a long way and he's proving it. Very admirable when you don't have a skill set of some of these studs. Props. 8)
-
someone mentioned possibility of Lebron retiring after winning a title this year, that being his secret announcement.
I bet nobody saw it coming when Jordan retired in his prime. At the age of 30, Michael Jordan retired after winning three titles. Imagine LeBron doing the exact same thing? Lebron is 30 now. 3 titles, 3 kids, worth $300 million. Lead the hapless cavs to a ring, overcoming hurdles MJ couldn't dream of - and GS would be the best team to lose a title, in history.
Lebron has always said he's going to be a billionaire, bigger than just ball, etc. I could see him starting some "rejuvienate CLE or even Ohio" type of deal. Use his 30s to build an empire, buy real estate, run for office, etc.
By the time he's 40, Lebron is worth 3/4 of a billion and he's suddenly running for senator or governor. By 50... lebron is running for president, and maybe winning. WOrth a billion, restored an entire state, learned the community, came from the projects and reached wash, DC. total american story.

NBA would never allow Lebron to retire this early. Neither would his sponsors.

I'm sure the same thought process applied to Jordan.
But LeBron only has a 2-year deal with CLE, and he can opt out this year. And if his long-term goals are bigger than basketball, why not go out on top?
-
is lebrons contract with the Cavs over after the final? it was only a one year deal correct?

2 year deal, with lebron able to opt out after year 1 (this year).
He can retire if he wants. Or take another year on this contract, and re-up with the massive new TV deal $. $30 or $35 mil a year

Lebron is about to get PAID once that new CBA kicks in. I say he has maybe 4 years left at most, maybe 5. Remember Kyrie signed a 5 yr deal so him and Lebron could be playing together for a while.
Think about this line up...Lebron, Kyrie, Love, Thompson, Varejo and Mozzy w/ JR, Shump and Delly off the bench.

again... this mindset takes us back to the assumption that Lebron's goal is to play in the NBA for another 8-10 years, and make another $300 mil playing basketball. Just like people assumed lebron's goals this off-season were "winning a lot of titles". I believed lebron's goals were 1) restore family together in his city 2) win rings/get $.
He has $300 million in the bank... he'll never spend 1/10 of that. Maybe his goal isn't to make another $300 mil playing ball/commericals over the next 8 years. MAYBE his goal is to rebuild a city, or retire with kiddies and never be seen from again, just investing and living on interest. Who knows.
Lebron is a contrarian who grew up poor, insanely fixated on spending time with kids cause his dad bailed, did what nobody expected in 2010 and then again in 2014. Would it surprise anyone if he beat one of the greatest teams in history, with the worst Finals line-up in history, and just retired on top? Run for mayor of CLE, or retire and never be heard from again. I woudn't put it past him.

Lebron's salary pales in comparison to his endorsements. He doesn't give a fuck if he gets $1 million a season or $30 million. You hear Wade crying about his salary because he has no other source. Lebron has deals all over the place.
Don't be fooled about Lebron's net worth. He's been taking investment advice from Warren Buffett. Wouldn't be shocked if his net worth is a lot more than people think.
I think the Warriors though discovered their saving Angel and that is David Lee. He was awesome yesterday. Where has he been all playoffs? He might be the key in getting the Warriors right back in this. Just think, Warriors win game 4 and they are right back in the driver's seat.

Diving head-first all over the place at knee/leg level is a good way to injure someone. I suspect "Matthew Dellavedova" has a good hard playoff foul coming his way next game from one of the bigger guys.

Mr. Levrone better everywhere else, and his early 90's legs were arguably just as good

You might have the chance to gloat after all, but I saw a lightbulb click on the Warriors. David Lee might be the spark needed. Curry needs to shoot more which he did. It is ends up 2-2 tomorrow it's a whole new ballgame.

Lee's only real issue is he's a very bad help defender, which is critical against modern NBA offenses (hence why he hardly plays I think), but when they're just gonna run LeBron iso all game it doesn't really matter that much.

Bogut wasn't scoring and these close games they need points. With James getting 35-40 and Curry getting 25, an extra 10-15 points from Lee can be the difference and a win for them.

I just want to see the Warriors quit driving in for an easy 2 to then dish the ball out for a missed 3 or a turn over. They are doing what lebron used to do and fail. They need to take the points as they come and stop giving up a high probability shot for a low one. Also what the fuck was barbosa doing. Could that fool miss any more easy layups?

Agree, same thing happened against Minnesota. The difference being Cleveland has the best player in the world. I say Curry starts acting like an MVP and Green starts playing the way he is capable of.

LeBron's determination in this series is impressive!
He's using everything in his arsenal just to keep his team alive in this series.
He's spent, and don't think he has enough in the tank to have a strong finish.

yeah must be nice to have a scottie pippen caliber player to pick up the slack when you get your head slammed into a camera, instead you got some australian version of jeremy lyn

Got it.....Cavs win and it's 100% Lebron's doing. Cavs lose and it's 0% Lebron's doing.
Cleveland got worked tonight - no excuses to be made.
As for Pippen, MJ moulded Pippen into the player he was .

Rest of series please :o
LeBron shooting a cool .387 from the floor in this series, truly one of the great performances of all-time.
Lebron is up against tremendous odds and he's played very well all around. Especially when it comes to rebounds and assists. However....
I find it funny how the press is burying any talk of his field goal percentage. Kobe gets crucified when he shoots poorly. They plaster stats and graphics all over the TV every chance they get. In addition, Lebron's shooting efficiency is something that the press usually never shuts up about (because it's so good). Now that Lebron is shooting very poorly you hear almost nothing. They do mention it but they always preface it with a bunch of excuses.
I've never thought FG% was that big of a deal myself so I'm not trying to attack Lebron, it's just that the double standard amuses me. ESPN definitely has the guys they like and they guys they don't like. They had to kiss Kobe's ass when he was winning his last two rings but now all bets are off.
-
If the Cavs win the finals I wonder how kyrie and kevin will feel. It's kinda like Lebron saying here's your rings guys, even though they weren't really part of it. I bet it would at least make them hungry to actually help win one next year.
-
LeBron deliberately launching himself into a cameraman trying to flop/fake a flagrant foul:
Look at Klay Thompson laughing at his antics at 0:13 :D Deserves a head wound for being such a bitch.
-
Tell you what lee still needs to play more (15min or so last night). He's a spark plug and one of the few guys who can get some more rebounds/battle cavs bigs. Green tries but too small.
Also, Kerr needs to stop dinking around with bogut. He completely slowed the game down all by himself when he came in and fouled everybody he could because he's so overmatched. Took them a bit to get going again.
-
LeBron 15+ misses a game for the first 4 games....
All time great ballhog Allen Iverson did the same in 2001
-
yeah, JR won't go o-for-7 in the next game. Cavs can't hit anything, and it's not the GS defense, it is just nothing falling. Same thing GS had in game 3.
everything that went wrong for CLE tonight won't happen on sunday.
Actually he will. Not sure why JR is getting so much positive attention. He is a bum. he'll have one good game every 25 or so games, then blow chunks.
The excuse that the Cavs lost because they were tired is bullshit. The Warriors simply outplayed them just like they did for most of their 67 wins and playoff wins. When the Warriors get the transition game going they'll make everyone look gassed. it's their game.
-
What LeBron should've done last night

Got it.....Cavs win and it's 100% Lebron's doing. Cavs lose and it's 0% Lebron's doing.

ok so who do you think deserves all the credit for the cavs winning game 2 and 3? if he doesn't score 40 a game they lose because he has no pippen

In the 4th of Game 3 I said the Warriors figured something out and it worked. The Cavs had a nice run but to think they played their hearts out and for all of that they are only tied. Time for the Warriors to wrap it up.
-
Coach Kerr was overheard telling his team "they only have 7 players, there's 48 minutes. They don't last this game". He was right. Their firepower was a weak team against U of Kentucky this year... they can hold it close in first half, but stacked talent is hard to beat as the minutes march on.

Did you see Marion after Game 3? Dude had a massive gut. I guess sitting on the bench he's resorted to eating like a pig and not staying in shape.

Yeah, the Warriors are done playing like fools. ABC/ESPN paid $2 billion to broadcast the NBA for a few years. ABC wanted a decent return on the finals and a sweep would have sucked. 6 games gets them back a lot of that cash

I don't think Lebron can afford to not have a great game any of the games of this series moving forward...You look at Golden States starters and you see REAL, CONSISTENT players with the likes of Steph, Klay, Draymond and players like Andre who you know you're usually going to get consistent production from in one way or another..Where as Lebron is the best player on the Cavs and this series, 2 of the 5 next best players were getting good minutes on a Knick team that would struggle for 30 wins WITH MELO.. Just to put it in perspective...

No way. Dellschmova was a surprise for GS. They didn't game plan for him and he had a decent game and a half. Now GS had time to include him in the game plan and he'll be a non story.

Agreed. Teams in modern day NBA are stopping the Jeremy Lin stories right in their tracks before they happen..Instead of a player with little to no scouting report keep continuing to play good games and teams continue to ignore them because they aren't a focal point of the offense, they're shoeing in immediately and i think that's to be expected especially given the past track record of unsung heroes in the playoffs and in recent years..Nonetheless i think if Cavs were fully healthy they would win in 6

??? Stephen A Smith is barely taking enough time to breath between sucking on Lebron's balls. Instead of talking about what the Warriors did better to win game 4, he just kept making excuses for Lebron and the Cavs. Fact is GS weathered the storm, the Cavs won two games, played their hearts out and they are tied. All for nothing. GS will win 2 more and end their misery.

I cannot understand what faction of ESPN viewers smiles when Stephen A Smith comes on the air. He's not funny. He's not thought-provoking. He's not witty, and he doesn't have sports experience at pro level. He interjects words that don't fit, every time. in a network full of good sports voices, he makes every show worse.
He comes on and over-reacts with the new 'generation selfie' drama levels on every single thing. I literally turn off First Take so quickly and move to Colin when 10am arrives. I turn off pre-game if Smith comes on. His whiny, obnoxious voice, sucking up to lebron, to mayweather, etc... what grown man shrieks ten times a minute when speaking?

Shumpert is an unsung hero IMO on the defensive end. He does a great job playing perimeter defense and gave Steph alot of trouble off switches..Klay has played well but Shump is averaging multiple steals a game this series..Even when shump gets hot on offense he knows the deal..don't try to create..Let Lebron create for you
On the other hand..I've never seen Jr Smith have an average game before..he either totally sucks or drops 25-30

Skip is just a small but loud minority. ESPN is littered with Lebron ball-lickers from top to bottom. If you can't admit that they you are either a fool or a liar.
-
lebron got back to cleveland only to face the same shit he faced when playing there before: being the only good on the team who has to carry all the scrubs from start to finish, only to be beaten by real , more complete teams which is logical in the finals cause he s running out of gas. He could only win with one or two other great players like when in miami, which is perfectly normal, no team can win with only one great player. If kyrie irving and love werent hurt they would have standed a decent chance, but lebron alone carrying a whole team of scrubs? not gonna happen, didnt happen in the past, and not against GSW.
-
Must be upsetting everytime Lebron passes the ball to someone other than Mosgov, delly, Jr Smith or James Jones when he's in..They just pass it right back to him...If i were Lebron i would be telling people to try to create..Not necesarily take the shot but penetrate to the hoop and create opportunities..that's the name of the game :-[

It's a results oriented world we live in. Everybody loves a winner. Nobody wants to hear excuses from the loser.
Outside of Iguodala, the Warriors have played like shit in this series. Ugly, bad NBA Finals this year. Lebron will get the MVP and he's shooting just under 40%.

Yup, should get the MVP. Will be very interesting when they bring out the Larry O'brien trophy for Golden State, and the MVP trophy for Lebron in Cleveland.

Curry is averaging 26 PPG (three more points than his regular season average) on 45/41/94% shooting. Outside of one (really) bad game he's had a monster series. The rest of GSW outside of Iggy has been a tire-fire though.

I don't remember Iverson getting this much praise when he took a trash team (worse then this cavs team, imo) to the finals and scored 48 to beat the Lakers (who were better then this golden state team) in the first game of the series. Doesn't make sense how Lebron is getting this much praise yet is shooting worse then Iverson did in that series. He has to step up his game the next few just to match Iverson's field goal percentage. Granted Lebron has more rebounds and assists but eric snow wasn't going to make any shot no matter how wide open he was.

Blatt is showing how ineffective of a coach he is. With Lebron they'd be thinking about their top 3 draft pick this season. Lebron is good at making a crappy coach look great.
How does Blatt essentially bench mosgov when he just scored 28 paints? How does JR barely touch the ball in the second half when he hit 4 threes in the first? Some odd decisions.
Delaschmova needs to be put back on the bench. Not sure what the commentators are referring to when they say he plays good defense. I didn't realize good defense meant running around swinging your arms all over the place like a looney is considered good defense.
Even with a healthy Irving, there's just so much wrong with the team.
-
Who gives a fuck? If Curry was on a team that couldn't even make the playoffs in the east without him then he wouldn't be able to get as many good looks and would get doubled more often.. for lebron to have more than double the rebounds and almost triple the assists as the "MVP" point guard and have 3 more points in a fairly closely contested game is great...anybody every think what the game would be like if you swapped Curry and Lebron? 4 Game sweep

Curry's had one really off shooting night (Game 2) and suddenly "Matthew Dellavedova" is a premier perimeter defensive stopper/specialist ::) ::) ::)
Outside of that game Curry is completely lighting him up (28 ppg on 51% shooting and 51% on threes).

LeBron's "Usage Rate" in this series is, as far as I know, unprecedented in modern basketball. It's currently at 41% and 50% if you count assists. Basically it means he's responsible for using half of the team's possessions so far (attempting to score himself, turning it over, or assisting on a made basket). For comparison to two other famous ball-hog Finals performances, Jordan was at 39/45% in 1993 against Phoenix and Iverson was at 37/41% in 2001 against the Lakers.
Not to say that what LeBron's doing this series isn't impressive (most players don't maintain their usual performance with an increase in Usage; LeBron nearly does; Curry very likely wouldn't) but his "counting stats" (points assists rebs) are so high largely because he's got the ball in his hands most of the time. This is also probably why his shooting percentage is so low by his standards (even LeBron doesn't keep up his usual shooting with a big increase in Usage).
-
I wonder if curry was taking 35 3 pointers a game if Stephen a smith would be sucking his nuts as much as James.

Yea difference MJ won that series and Iverson failed and LeBron on his way to failing.
Jordan also shot a cool 50.8 percent from the field and average 41 points a game, 6 assists and 8.5 rebounds a game.
Jordan was efficient, shot 50 percent from the field in his prime, while being the scoring champ, you don't see that anymore.
All time great shot jacker Kobe never shot 50 percent in a season...

I don't think you can refer to it as "you don't see that anymore" seeing there is probably only 2-3 players of all time who could do that 2 of them being Jordan and Kareem
-
Done deal tonight. Delaschmova can sulk and maybe try to take out a player or two. Shocked no one is talking of him trying to purposely take out Curry's ankle with a kick and just missed getting the ball instead. James will be winded by the end of the third.
Just imagine if Curry took 35 shots in a game. Dude would end up with 60+ points. James does, misses 20 and he's hailed as the greatest ever. Give me a fucking break.
-

There's been quite a few actually (led the league in PPG while shooting 50% or better), although not very many recently:
- Kevin Durant (2014)
- Shaq (1995, 2000)
- Jordan (1988-1992)
- David Robinson (1994)
- Bernard King (1985)
- Adrian Dantley (1981, 1984)
- Alex English (1983)
- George Gervin (1978-1980, 1982)
- Bob McAdoo (1974, 1975)
- Kareem (1971, 1972)
- Oscar Robertson (1968)
- Wilt (1961-1966)
The "Season Finder" tool on basketball-reference.com is really helpful/cool for stuff like this.
So in the 57 seasons since 1960, the scoring leader has shot at least 50% in 28 of those seasons, by 12 different players. If you throw in guys who were really close (49% and up) then nearly everyone from 1960-1995 did it. It's a fairly recently phenomenon that the scoring leader usually shoots well under 50%. I imagine this is because players take a lot more three-pointers now than they used to, and because offenses are more perimeter-oriented now as a result (not many teams with a big low-post player as their primary scorer).
Jordan is certainly the most recent to do it consistently, although I didn't realize Kevin Durant led the league in scoring in four of the past six seasons. That Heeb can score. He also shot very near 50% in all of those seasons.
-
Centers always shoot over 50 percent, it's not impressive.
I think Shaq lead the league in field goal percentage a couple times.
And some of those old guys took shots in the paint with no three point line.

How many times can the refs get it wrong who touches the ball before it goes out of bounds, lol(for both teams)? Missed a ton of obvious ones last game and then starting again today.

Eight of those 12 guys are not centers ???
People still shot long jumpshots before the three point line. Go watch video of Jerry West and Pete Maravich, for example.

I know my basketball....
Pistol would light up the league....his 68 point game vs the Knicks would be an 80 point game now.
King and Dantley were mid range and post scorers.....
English was ok player...no one considered him top 50 all time.
Durant is impressive and why he's second best in the world.

Meanwhile things looking good for the Warriors...

Thank god this crap is over tonight.
I can't stand another minute of this LeBrick nut hugging and total shite broadcast team
-
Does Kerr just not play lee to try and differentiate himself from Jackson? Ezile can have a turnover, foul, disrupt the flow of the team (notice he comes in and warriors go cold in end of first/whole of second quarter). Much like the last time bogut played. Lee comes in for about a minute and is pulled immediately after lebron scores one time.
Their personalities must not mesh or something.
Should be green in, lee in, green in, etc. unless foul trouble. I know I've said that often but makes no sense at all.
I guess it works enough, though, just could be a lot better, IMO. The only game they won comfortably that is what they did.

Another brilliant night of shooting for LeBron in the loss (13/33).
-
At this rate, LeBron will lose more finals than MJ won.
-
Hahaha! Fuck you Lebron. Punk bitch.
Lebron is truly the King.........of losing in the Finals.
So glad that they gave the MVP to Iguodala.
-
Iguodala MVP!!! ;D
-
Iguodala MVP!!! ;D
Played great. Cury is so cool no problem with it. Lebron would have cried if he didn't get the MVP.
-
"I'm very confident we are going to win because I'm the best player in the world"
- said the guy who shot 13-33 and showed no fight in the 4th

Not the smartest thing to say. Sounds like something Phil Heath would say.

You might be right with that.
-
Wonder where Lebron is headed now?
Into a nosedive of cocaine probably. Left like a little coward. Showe no respect for the game unless he's winning it.
-
Lebron is the next Wilt. A physically dominant player individually, a stat monster, but never won as much as he should have.
Some of it is his fault but a lot of it is not his fault. He's just one man. You need the right guys around you and you need them to stay healthy. Getting back to the finals again next year is possible but it's going to be a grind on Lebron physically and mentally. That's why guys like MJ and Kobe who are able to win over and over again get so much respect.......because it's really fucking hard.
Fuck him though. Looks like his GOAT legacy is going to continue to be made up mostly of what ifs and excuses.
-
The next phase of Lebron worship is for his fans to heap praise on him for what he almost did. To them, what Lebron almost did is somehow equivalent to or better than what other players actually did. His almost winning was harder and more impressive than other guys actually winning.
My favorite is when they say "put MJ on this Cleveland team and..blah blah blah." Frankly I'm pretty sure MJ could have lost in the finals with this team also. Lebron competed had when he was under-manned and he made the series competitive, that's all.
-
I bet he feels like shit tonight for not bringing the title home to Cleveland. He'll probably win it next year when his two all stars are healthy.
Congrats to coach Kerr (poor Mark jackson) and Steph Curry.
-
I'd be very surprised if Cleveland doesn't win it next year.
-
Lebron is probably happy it's over. Now, he doesn't have to play with a group of stiffs anymore. None of use in NY are surprised about the play of JR Smith and Shumpart.

He blew it but apparently he doesn't care. He left Miami. Pat Riley wanted a dynasty here and would have made sure the pieces were in place to do so for the coming years.

I love how cocky/look at me lebron was after the game talking about he's never seen anybody take a team like his to the finals without two all stars, etc. I'll bring up iverson again (and even Dwight Howard) when both of those teams went to the finals. Lol, lebron even had his guys for most of the year. Iverson had nobody the whole year.
What a tool/very defensive despite most everyone mediawise loving him to death.
-
Would have been more interesting if kyrie irving or even kevin ove were not hurt. Pretty disapointing season and p/o. Also probably the last time the spurs reach the playoffs.
-
Would've been interesting if Gasol didn't get hurt in the series against the Cavs
Would've been interesting if Durant didn't get hurt and him and Westbrook tearing shit up
Would've been interesting if John Wall didn't get hurt in the Hawks series....
Would've been interesting if the Blazers didn't lose some key guys and a banged up Aldridge played hurt...
Lost of interesting stuff

finals were clearely lopsided.

It was the perfect storm for the Warriors. They got to the finals without having to play the Spurs or the Clippers. The Clippers are another running team, would have been in the 120's every night. then they avoid Connoly Jr, then they get a hurt Dwight Howard, then a Cavs without Love and Irving, but also Irving slowed down the Cavs. I think Warriors still win because it would be a different game style by the Cavs.
Lebron is a suck ass. All the excuses this morning. The better team all season won with a little bit of luck on their side. Glad James didn't get the MVP. I don't care about your stats when you lose 4 of 6 games. You don't deserve an MVP award.
I never noticed how red Curry's hair is. What's with these light skinned black guys with red hair in the NBA?
You know the Warriors will make some changes. They might still get a top notch free agent and let Bogut and Lee walk.
The Cavs have an easy east conference again. Bulls with a rookie college coach will struggle. Atlanta needs help and that's it. Want to see James go 2-5.
Fuck him and fuck the shitty city of Cleveland.
-
OKC gonna be dangerous next season...
Donovan making the jump to the pros now, and he's gonna have a great staff...
We all know how great Durant and Westbrook are....
-
Also, I know it is said that lebron makes everyone better but to me I don't really see it when it comes to playing with other star players. If we're all honest, when he went to Miami they should have won more. Bosh played worse with him and wade played worse with him. Lebron needs the ball an awful lot and that takes away from those players.
Love was not utilized like he should be this year as well, etc. Lebron elevates the solid/bad player due to open shots, etc. but not other star players. They generally aren't as effective with him. Hard to explain a bit but hopefully get what I am saying.
It's almost like the cavs/heat didn't/wouldn't have that major increase exponentially that you'd expect. Lebron wouldn't be as "good" and the other star players wouldn't be either. They might win but not as dominant as you would expect them to (just like the heat).

The way he phrased it was weird (around 4:45 here):
I think what he meant was there haven't been any other teams that reached the Finals after losing two All-Stars. His team didn't do this either (Irving missed the middle two games against Atlanta but otherwise played in every Eastern playoffs game and the first Finals game).
Actually both of those teams you mentioned had multiple All-Stars. Mutombo was an All-Star on the Sixers although I think they didn't get him until the trade deadline, and Rashaard Lewis and Jameer Nelson were both All-Stars for some reason on Dwight's Finals team. But there have been tons of teams that reached the Finals with only one current All-Star on their roster, including LeBron's own previous Cavs team. Just since 2000:
Spurs 2014 (Tony Parker)
Mavs 2011 (Dirk)
Lakers 2008 (Kobe)
Cavs 2007 (LeBron)
Mavs 2006 (Dirk)
Pistons 2005 (Ben Wallace)
Pistons 2004 (Ben Wallace)
Spurs 2003 (Tim Duncan)
Nets 2003 (Jason Kidd)
Nets 2002 (Jason Kidd)
However I do think it's exceedingly rare for a team to reach the Finals with only one guy on their roster who has ever been an All-Star. For example even if you don't count Love and Irving on the current Cavs, Shawn Marion has been an All-Star like three or four times.

I don't know how that team (Miami with LeBron) only averaged 59 wins in the Eastern Conference. They only really had one "elite" year (66 wins in 2012).

Yeah, hard to say with lebron. He continually says the odd thing a lot at the wrong times. I guess I was taking it as "all-star"=great player so in Orlando's case I wouldn't look at either of those guys as that.
What I do know it was just more excuses/look at me approach which is pretty normal for him. I just don't get why say it when everybody knows it/already made that excuse for you? Sounds very childish in that circumstance.

love is useless for the cavs. He s an empty statpadder who cant win a game for his team and is useless on defense, even when scoring he brings nothing to the team, he s just a miscast.
A healthy alternance of irving and lebron with sparks from mozgov, smith, delly and thompson is all that is needed. It s the best recipe for the cavs, that s what got them in the p/o in the first place. Let s not forget how well they did before being shot down in flight by the injuries.
Again had irving been playing we would have had REAL finals.
Lebron was just unlucky irving got hurt just when it truly mattered. That is all. What he did without irving and love is just impressive, he gave it all, people were all saying we got a series when they won their two games against GSW.
LEt s be honnest, he s an uterly dominant, complete, great player, he just needed more help just like in the past when he lost in finals, and that's about it. Most people are hating on him just for the sake of hating.

He's been seeing some sports shrink making him think he's great. Lebron had issues early on not believing how good he was so the shrink made him convince himself of it. Lebron was getting run through the mud as a loser who can't finish.
I agree with how does he make everyone better when his team sucked.

Fantasy hypothetical scenarios don't matter. LeBron lost now and the factors surrounding it are in the nature of the game. It is what it is. He is still the biggest crybaby in the league. I do hope they make it to the finals year after year so that 2-4 consistently grows to 2-5, 2-6, etc etc.

lbj is a major crybaby, yes.
but next year, with love AND irving, they probably win it. They got 2 games on one of the best teams ever in golden state, with the best shooter EVER maybe in Curry. If Irving is shooting lights out 2 of these games, and love doing his thing... they win it next year if healthy.

Take notice Getbiggers. When reality is no longer flattering to him, Lebron fans will turn to fictional scenarios instead. I don't know of any player who gets credit for imaginary shit like Lebron does. He also gets a lot of credit for stuff he almost did rather than what he actually did. I don't understand this phenomenon.

See you next year NBA threads. The Spurs will return 8)

Great year with a rookie coach that isnt phil jackson or a role player like shaq or pippen
Still with 3 nba losses , not Mount NBA Rushmore material anymore

It's kind of similar to what homer Celtics fans do when trying to argue that Larry Bird is a Top 5 all-time great.
Also:

leaguewide quality of play still rated 4.6 percent better [in 1995-96] than this season.
-
Typical year. Best team won, Lebron loses and looks for excuses, Clippers choke, Harden is a joke, Raptors and Wizards fall in the middle. Next year will prove to be more of the same. Spurs can bounce right back in it if the rumors about them chasing Aldridge is true.
-
Thank gawd it's finally over
-
I felt bad for Klay Thompson for fouling out with 6 minutes left. Riding the bench while your team runs out the clock. After his 5th, Kerr should have pulled him and put him back in with a minute left.

I don't think anyone is denying how good he is. Just he is being compared to Jordan and he just isn't and his antics/immaturity are pretty dumb a lot of the time. It is the over the top stuff/loving on him that is the issue. Especially nowadays when he essentially can do no wrong in the media eyes. Gets annoying.
I'm sorry but he had the help in Miami and still didn't produce as much as expected. It is what it is.

Why are they getting Aldridge and M Gasol?

The end all be all should be that Lebron was being asked to do something unspeakable this series. It wasn't possible. There is no other player in the league you could swap for Lebron that would have made that game even 5 game series forget about a 6 and that's INCLUDING Curry himself!! :-X!! You swap Lebron and curry in this series ... 4 GAME SWEEP WARRIORS WIN.. ALL D league players and 2 of their top 5 cavs players were getting big minutes on a knicks team that couldn't win 18 games in the east... You have 3 stars on the opposing times 1 of which is a superstar and then you have another former star who came out of his shell and won finals MVP and you also have complementary bigs like bogut and lee who's hay-days are behind them but clearly have some left in the tank.. GSW reminds of a fantasy team you make in 2k...Unrealistic..this team can't stay together for much longer as the contracts will be more demanding Green will probably get a max from some team even though he doesn't deserve it..

Such a dumb statement. You could swap Durant for Curry and Warriors win, but that means shit. Fact is the Warriors played like a team and didn't need one person to hog the ball 60% of the time to win.

hmm how can you play like a team with undrafted delli being matchup up with the NBA MVP?? Or bench player who is primarily a defender Shumpert starting at the 2?? Or what about tristan thompson primarily a rebounder being matchup against 6th man of year candidate? you know what's even a dumber statement? saying someone who averaged 9 assists a game during a series a ballhog.. you think lebron is a ballhog? Lebron is one of the last people i'd call a ballhog..If he doesn't take as many shots as he did, the series ends in 4 games..they have no time to get all of those scrubs shots..Less shots lebron takes more shots they take more it becomes a non-playoff team vs. a championship calibur team..Lebron was the X factor here and YOU AND I know it..nothing dumber than someone trying to blame someone who averages 36 13 and 9 in a series for the loss of the eam cuz "too many shots"...did you happen to look at the other players FG% throughout the series?? Or the series at all for that matter?

Delaschmova should have went back to the bench in game 4. he was a liability yesterday. Horrible ball handler, turning it over, causing fouls. he was a waste of space as a starter. he was more effective coming off the bench. Blatt got caught in the hysteria after he had a good game but the Warriors quickly caught on but Blatt didn't adjust.

Here we go again. Just like I said in my earlier post. Things don't go well in the Finals so now we are talking about swapping players out and all types of fantasy, what if, type of shit.
Lebron's legacy is built around excuses, what he hypothetically could have done, what other players supposedly couldn't have done, and what he almost did. This is fucking pathetic and I don't get it.
I'm a Laker fan and when I talk about guys like Magic or Kareem, or Kobe, I speak in terms of reality. What they actually did and actually accomplished in the real world. Every once in a while it's fun to speculate but don't use fictional shit as an argument for how great of a player Lebron is.

Exactly
Like when the Lakers lost to Celtics in 2008 I don't recall Lakers fans being like "Well Bynum was hurt if he played we would have won" or "If you swap Kobe and anyone on the Celtics it would have been a sweep" Who gives a fuck ??? Meaningless drivel.
Or like that Lakers all-star team in 2004 or so, the one with Payton and Malone that everyone thought would win 73 games (and probably should have), there's an "oral history" (no homo) of that season somewhere on Grantland.com I think and all the Lakers players are like "Yeah they [Detroit] just bent us over in the Finals, they were the better team", no excuses.
-
Hypothetically, in the hypothetical situation we would have to hypothesize that the cavs would either still have to play great defense or the warriors would have to play poorly (both of which lebron didnt have much part of) for most of the series as well to make it a true hypothetical comparison. I would then hypothesis that Durant, etc. would make up for a few less assists by shooting markedly better with his 38ish shots a game causing the same outcome.....
Or we could hypothetically place Westbrook in lebrons position by pointing out his very factual streak of triple doubles/40 to 50 point games he had this season and come up with the same hypothetical outcome of lebrons (another)FACTUAL finals loss...

No excuses i'm not trying to make hypothetical scenarios what i'm trying to do is get the message across that Lebron was asked to do an impossible task that team had no business being in those finals and you and i both know Lebron James was the only factor in them not getting swept and making it a decent series... I for one do not care for either team so i'm not being biased i'm just telling you the reality there is no fictional shit in 36-13-9 average in the finals.. Please look to the below FELLAS
Without LeBron James on the floor this series. <-------
JR Smith 0/9 FG
Delly 0/7 FG
J. Jones 0/3 FG
Shumpert 0/2 FG
Total 0/21 FG
Do you know what this is called? This is called mannequins ;D
There were multiple quarters where all shots created or scored were by Lebron for the cavs and the rest took JUST AS MANY SHOTS but DID NOT make ANY....This man was fucked from the jump this series and set up to lose..Maybe some say karma? who knows? I just know that GSW didn't play a healthy PG all playoffs and avoided OKC, Clips, Spurs, all of which whos PG's were injured for Curry to strive in the playoffs...I may not like anyone too much in this series but it's evident that Warriors should have won much more easily than they did..only one factor stopped that...I don't have to say anymore

Hope this helps.

yep and it's baseless bullshit. If Curry took 35 shots in a game he probably would have hit 50% which means 40-50 points. No fact can prove that the Cavs would have been swept with Curry. Iverson willed the sixers to one win. Curry alone could have done the same.

Curry would not get the looks that he gets if his wings were James Jones and Iman shumpert because he'd have more attention paid to him and a whole defense catered to him--> #FACT YOU'RE making a hypothetical scenario saying that he'd shoot 50%.....You're saying Curry could have done the same? Comparing Curry to Iverson? LMAO please...the proof is in the pudding..Lebrons FG % is better when he was on a better team...Started off on the cavs for the first 9 years of his career his FG% got better and better each year..What was the common theme? WELL the common theme was that he started off with a shitty cavs team..then he got antwan jamison and shaq and mo williams (better players than eric snow and ziddy) THEN he went to the Heat with Bosh and Wade (better players than jamison, shaq, williams) NOWWW during this finals he is with WORSE PLAYERS so FG% drops = more attention paid on him WHILST having more responsibility = recipe for disaster for FG percentage...Let's not put Curry's name with Iverson yet..Please don't do him like that

Dude, when you say "You swap Lebron and curry in this series ... 4 GAME SWEEP WARRIORS WIN.." That is a hypothetical scenario.
Hope this helps.

What proof do you need? Curry won a championship this year and James didn't. Still funny that Wade has 1 more than him.
Did you hear that Love is going to opt out and become a free agency. I said a year ago Cleveland was stupid for trading Wiggins. Imagine Wiggins, James and Irving running the floor. Would be a highlight show.

...If someone other than Lebron won the finals MVP if his team won you and i both know there would be people EVERYWHERE saying that Lebron was carried and can't do it by himself...i used to think Love was the best PF in the league when he was on the T'wolves because of statistics myself..But this season proved far from the truth...He doesn't deserve a max contract..Whoever gives it to him is doomed...
I think the whole idea was that by the time Wiggins develops in the great player he's suppose to be... Lebron will be on the older side and it may be too late to make a run...By getting love they have an immediate couple years in a row where they have a shot..It looked good on paper and looked pretty good towards the beginning of the playoffs..Now, who knows? Could end up being a shitty decision

Klay Thompson’s dad ‘heard it on good authority’ Warriors would ‘go hard after Kevin Durant’

Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson
AP
Kevin Durant will become a free agent in 2016, and plenty of teams – Wizards, Knicks, Lakers, Raptors – have been mentioned as possible destinations.
Of course, the Thunder have a strong shot to re-sign Durant, too.
They might have to fend off another suitor, though – the Warriors.
Mychal Thompson – Klay Thompson‘s dad/former NBA player/Los Angeles sportscaster – on ESPN LA (hat tip: Alex Torres of Warriors World):
I also heard it on good authority from a team that plays in the Bay Area that they’re going to go hard after Kevin Durant.
David Lee‘s massive contract expires when Durant hits free agency, and the salary cap will skyrocket. But that doesn’t mean Golden State will have enough cap room to sign Durant.
The Warriors have five players under contract for 2016-17: Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Andrew Bogut and Shaun Livingston. They’ll also likely give Draymond Green a max contract this summer. Plus, they have their own first-round pick each of the next two years.
-
Wiggins is going to be another lebron. And lebron's ego didn't want to hear that over and over "is lebron's backup better than he is?" anytime lebron had an off-night. it's like the bride that won't hire a wedding singer hotter than her lol.
Love seems like a dick head.

They won't have enough cap room to sign him just solely based on the fact that they need 12 players on the roster for the season before chances are they won't all become free agents in Kevin Durants year and also they 100% won't if they give Green a max

......i used to think Love was the best PF in the league when he was on the T'wolves because of statistics myself..But this season proved far from the truth...He doesn't deserve a max contract..
Love is a great player (maybe not the best). Like I wrote before about bosh, etc. he was terribly used by lebron. Essentially go stand out on the three point line and I might pass you the ball once in awhile. Still 17 and 10 basically on a bad year. Players really have to take a back seat to lebron as he handles the ball so much (especially big guys as they can't really take the ball up themselves, etc.). Love essentially gets no plays run for him.

The way Lebrons teams win is you leave it all to lebron and when he's not playing well the team needs to at least be able to maintain or pickup slack that = championship imo

he has no place in a team either run by irving or lebron. He slows everything down and makes empty stats.

Agreed..I think they played better without him when Thompson is in...When all 3 of them are in reminds me of during a pickup basketball game the 3 best players get on the same team and none of them wanna take too many shots so nobody ever really warms up they either over pass or make mistakes and the team ends up losing even though they're better

epic finals by Lebron, i feel sorry for him playing with guys that wouldn't start for kentucky
best player ever

You can think that but they didnt as when lebron and love were on the floor together they had the highest point differential of any other players on the cavs.....
I do agree with what you are saying a bit though as (just like in Miami) you would expect them to be better and should be.
Also, with that reasoning you are basically saying they would still lose to the warriors even if Lebron had help....Not a slam dunk as you were implying before.
All I know is the season is over and Lebron lost again. That's the true reality in any of this. He has help...he loses....He doesn't have help....he loses....It's not quite the right kind of help....still loses.

lol fuck off with this "two superstars" shit. Who would the other one be? Klay Thompson? He's a good player but you have a very generous definition of "superstar" if Klay Thompson meets it.
Who is this mythical "Sixth Man of the Year" candidate on the Warriors? Iguodala? He finished in 4th place with a whopping seven first-place votes. Past his prime and hasn't been an elite player in about five years. Bending LeBron over his knee for a few games does not change this fact.
"Two former stars" lol who is that exactly? David Lee and Iguodala again (double-counting; a 'former star' who doesn't even start?) with their whopping three all-star appearances in 21 seasons? Shawn Marion has three in 16 seasons so I guess he's an even bigger "former star", so advantage LeBron.
"Solid bigs" lolol please specify. The mighty Festus Ezeli? Bogut? He was horrible in the Finals and the Warriors have no size at all.
Yet more fantasy scenarios, trying to position the Warriors as some unbeatable juggernaut.
-
Iguidala doesn't stop lebron in round 1 or 2 of the playoffs. he caught him tired after 2 months of killing himself with a shit squad.
Put Igudala on Lebron on christmas day, and lebron gets 45 and shoots 60% from the field.

It all comes down to the intelligent NBA teams aka spurs and warriors going to team ball over isolation, everyone else will follow.In most cases where teams tried to stack allstars its an epic fail, a more well rounded team of very good players over "superstars" who play ISO is the way forward.I could post some clips of this years finals compared to the Jordan finals, this year completely empty paint with lebron free to ISO 1 on 1 with no double team to get all the points he want, and he still only shot 40%, he wont ever have it easier than he did scoring wise.Then you take Jordan at the same age with the suns, the paint packed, Jordan double and triple teamed on most possessions, he still averaged 43ppg on 50+% shooting.Problem is theres only one person ever with Jordans talent, he would have run riot this finals in the cavs with the ISO on every possession with an empty paint.Thank god the era of all the NBA players coming in to the league who watched Jordan play live as kids is over, the iversons etc, chuck up a load of points on iso with crap efficiency while winning nothing.
-
I don't know why people feel sorry or making excuses for LeBron?
It was he who left Cleveland because they "sucked" and joined forces with all stars. He even went as far as predicted 5-6 championships but when that boat started to sink he ran back to Cleveland.
He gets what he wants, had Wiggins shipped out, he doesn't listen to his coach Blatt....
It's him who wanted this and now fans cry for him hahaha...
He's a bitch

Let's get this straight. Iggy didn't stop LeBron but what he did was score enough points to offset the points that Klay and Steph didn't score and that was enough for them to win.

Yep, in game 1 James shoots and misses, Mosgov tips the rebound back to james and he calls a timeout. Blatt was looking at him like WTF! he wasted 1 of 2 remaining with 2 minutes left.
Blatt was calling a play and James just goes down and misses a 3 and Blatt again was like WTF! James early in his career only wanted a Black coach and that's why Brown was brought in. Also don't forget that Blatt needs James more than James needs him. Remember Blatt was hired before James decided to go back. Blatt without James would have had Irving, Wiggins and Bennett. They might have won 10-15 games this year.
-
lebron often told brown what to do
lebron often told spoelstra what to do
lebron is often telling blatt what to do
Still he needs at least a decent second option to win it all. Again had irving not been hurt, they would have had a chance to win it.
As great, dominant both as a player and leader/coach, he still needs a second, a lieutnant, and it was irving.

Lebron's been doing this shit for years it's just especially bad with Blatt. He's doing it right out in the open, on the court and through the media. I'm glad the media is finally reporting it. Lebron knows he's a made man in Cleveland now so he can do and say whatever he wants. I have no doubt that the Cavs are asking Lebron who he wants to coach the team and Blatt's days are numbered. You can't have shit like this going on.
Lebron is obviously getting frustrated that the Finals losses are piling up. He's about to turn 31 and he has a ton of miles on those legs of his.

Blatt actually did a great job with mozgov , thompson smith and delly...especially with mozgov who improved tenfold compared to when he was a nugget.
-
I'd really love to see Lebron play for a strong coach who doesn't take any shit. I want to see how Lebron would react to that. It's obvious Lebron thinks he is smarter than everyone in the organization. You know he was behind that "brilliant" decision to trade Wiggins for Kevin Love.
Lebron James....player, coach, GM.

Lebron does that because they allow him to do that. If he played for a coach that has balls (Like Coach Popp) he'd never pull shit like that and if he did, he'd be benched immediately.

it will never happen, he can only strive as a do it all leader. It worked in miami, would have worked this year in CLE too had irving been healthy.... Fact is he can do it all, it worked and can still work, if all the right pieces are there. This year he was very unlucky his second option got hurt, it ruined it all.

Sounds like Lebron needs some more humble pie. Yes, he's the best player in the game but did Kobe act this way? Did Jordan? Duncan? Shaq? He needs to get checked or check himself.

I respect his game but this is one of the many reasons why I'm not a big fan of his.

Damn right Jordan tried to run the entire show. But every year Jerry Krause would draft some fucking Euro stiff to show everyone how smart he was and Jerry Reinsdorf would back him up on it.

Bullshit.
When Jordan wanted to show another player up or prove a point he did whatever he pleased on the court. Until Bill Cartwright arrived Jordan openly criticised the triangle offense.
Phil Jackson is a very good coach, but he was only the limo driver on those Bulls championship teams.

Absolutely, but he respected Phil. Lebron does that shit in the open because he can. That's the real reason he left Miami because he wasn't in charge. That shit don't fly with a Pat Riley in charge.

There are other NBA coaches who would have won the same number of titles with those teams Jackson had.....Riley and Popovich for sure.

Don't get mad at me because you don't know what you're talking about. You and your "would haves" can go fuck yourself. Everyone knows I'm the biggest Spur fan here I'd never say if Popp coached the same teams he'd have the same amount of titles. That's moronic and very easy to say. Jackson is a great coach.

lebron's last 2 coaches were hacks, no doubt about it. they were happy to have lebron. He shit on them, but he did so when they looked liked weaklings and made poor calls.
Lebron should go to san antonio and win like, um, 5-6 more rings lol. take duncan's slot when he retires. Put lebron with popovich and learn what a REAL team does, as much as I hate watching SA play lol.
-
Bottom line is people underselling Lebron's performance are not only contradicting themselves but they sound stupid if they're gonna argue the only reason he had those stats is because he had a shitty team and he had to take all of the shots and then you go ahead and say that he can't "lead" a team to win a championship and never has...Pretty sure he lead the Heat and won finals MVP very evident by the fact that the Heat replaced him with Luol Deng who is a solid player and emergence of Hassan Whiteside and they went from being a championship team to a non-playoff team in the East... ???
-
If anyone is still in denial of Jordan being so much better than Lebron or Kobe, or why technically he is better, take a look at this thread, breaks down Jordans percentages from all zones of the court plus how he handled defences etc.Like 1 poster said in there, he took the best of Lebron, Kobe and Wade.Note how also Jordan finished at the rim at a higher % than all but 1 of Lebrons seasons.

They were also missing Bosch for the 2nd half of the season. They would have made the playoffs if Bosch was healthy. Not discounting the importance of Lebron, but the drop off would certainly not been as great if not for injuries.

That's not how it works in real life. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Age, fatigue, injuries, and other roster additions and subtractions were a factor. In 2015 Wade can still be great in spots but he's a shell of himself a lot of times and he can't stay in the lineup. Then you have Bosh's blood clot situation where he missed the entire second half of the season. Never came back. Of course the Heat were better with Lebron but you can't just surgically remove him and pretend that everything else is exactly the same as the year before. There are a lot of moving parts on a basketball team and a lot of reasons why teams win or lose.
Also, if you want to get technical, Miami didn't go from a Championship team to a non-playoff team. The year Lebron left they had just lost in the Finals. They were not the Champions. They won it in 2013, two years ago. In 2014 the Miami team was already in decline. Lebron knew that and it was one of the main reasons he bailed and went back to Cleveland.

If anyone is still in denial of Jordan being so much better than Lebron or Kobe, or why technically he is better, take a look at this thread, breaks down Jordans percentages from all zones of the court plus how he handled defences etc.Like 1 poster said in there, he took the best of Lebron, Kobe and Wade.Note how also Jordan finished at the rim at a higher % than all but 1 of Lebrons seasons.
http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317950
This one shows Jordan dunked in game far more than Prime Lebron, Kobe and Wade ever did, this with a packed paint full of legit bigs.
http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352399
Only Jordan haters and noobs think Lebron or Kobe are in the same league...
Jordan the GOAT of basketball and all sports....

Report: Dwyane Wade, Lakers have "mutual interest"
"The upcoming contract standoff between Dwyane Wade and the Heat has been brewing for several weeks, and with free agency less than two weeks away, it’s not going to be dying down anytime soon. All of it could be posturing, but there have been signs that Wade is seriously considering leaving the team that he has played for his entire 12-year NBA career. And according to Sports Illustrated‘s Chris Mannix, one team that could make a run at him is the Lakers.
Again, it’s possible this is nothing more than public posturing by Wade’s agent to make the Heat sweat. It would be absolutely devastating for their franchise if they lost Wade — he’s as synonymous with them as Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant are with the Spurs and Lakers. And if they lost the greatest player in franchise history over a few million dollars, it would be impossible to sell future free agents on the “family” and #HeatLifer mythology Pat Riley has built up in his tenure there. As painful as it is, they need to bite the bullet and pay Wade.
The idea of Wade in Los Angeles is interesting, however unlikely it is. They could platoon Wade and Kobe Bryant, playing both of them limited minutes or games, as a way to keep both of them healthy for a longer period of time. Ideally, if Wade leaves the Heat, he should go somewhere where he can take on a sixth-man role. Whether he’s open to that is a different question, but he showed this year that he can still be a highly productive player when healthy. For the last few years of his career, he should look to maximize that productivity, wherever it is."

Sounds like Lebron needs some more humble pie. Yes, he's the best player in the game but did Kobe act this way? Did Jordan? Duncan? Shaq? He needs to get checked or check himself.
kobe got phil jackson fired in 2004, no teammate like kobe while most love lebron
jordan got doug collins fired, teammates hated him too

LOL at the Lakers overpaying for stars that are 3 years past their prime and injury-riddled. It's like they just wait to land in LA before blowing out their knee or back for good lol.
Nash = Wade at this point. He'll sell jerseys/tickets, will be near the top story on sportscenter, and will play 22 games this year and 14 games next year lol.

Some food for thought
Lebron has now lost 3 finals in which he lost the last three games of the series.
MJ didn't lose 3 games in a row from November 1990 until he retired in 1998.
Also very rare clip of Jordan making his defender look like an idiot with his handles and quickness

Lebron is failing not because of his talent but mostly due to jumping from High School to the Pros and his entourage. He is not a coachable player and thinks he's better than the team. He didn't mature enough by going to College and learning from the best. Coach K, Olsen, Wooden and others all say their first lesson to these kids is how to become men. Lebron was a kid in a man's body but his mind never matched. He lost a lot of good years in his career by not learning to be a man. Then his entourage giving him horrible advice didn't help either. Physically he might be the best ever, but physical ability can only take you so far in sports, it's the mental aspect that separates greats from the Legends.

it s a fact he cant shine if he s not ball hogging anyways. He needs to always have the ball in his hands, and someone else decent enough, to carry the load when he s on the bench. A one two punch combination. Again all he needs is irving coming back fully healthy.

Phil Jackson should concentrate more on the Knicks mess and the #4 pick and less on Lebron
-
His first year on the Wizards, before he injured his knee in the 2nd half of the season or so, MJ was averaging 25 points/game, playing a new position (SF) against guys 10-20 years younger than him, at age 39. He scored 50+ points once, 40+ points four times, 30+points 16 times, and scored 20 or more points in 35/60 games played.
He then came back from this injury and averaged 20 points/game while playing all 82 games at literally age 40.
Truly a dreadful performance ::)

He was floor Jordan as a Wizard, so he played with his mind and fundamentals.
His speed and athleticsim in his Prime made him the most unstoppable force the game has ever seen...

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/13142511/kevin-love-opts-contract-cleveland-cavaliers-sources?ex_cid=espnFB
Sources told ESPN.com that Love notified the Cavaliers on Wednesday that he is opting out of the final year remaining on his contract -- worth $16.7 million next season -- to return to free agency.
Sources tell ESPN.com that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Celtics are among the teams planning to make a run at Love in free agency. Sources say that the Portland Trail Blazers, furthermore, are likely to pursue the former Oregon high school star in the event that LaMarcus Aldridge -- as many league executives expect -- flees the Blazers in free agency.
Love missed most of the Cavs' run to the NBA Finals after suffering a dislocated shoulder against the Celtics when Kelly Olynyk pulled down on Love's left arm and yanked it out of the socket.
After he suffered the injury, Love was asked if he wanted to return to the Cavaliers next season.
"Yes," the power forward said on June 5. "I want to win."

Kevin Love would have a huge following with the Trail Blazers as he's a local guy. Maybe he wants to come home like LeBron.

Yes but doesn't mean he won't resign with the Cavs. The Cavs can give him the largest contract allowed due to their CBA.

Silly right now to sign a long-term max deal if you are an elite player in my opinion, since the salary cap is going to explode year after next. The "max" part of max contracts is defined as a % of the salary cap.
If he can get a one-year deal from someone else I suspect he's gone.

Maybe because he's not black? Who knows...All i know is Melo knew what he was getting into..And he CHOSE to take the money rather than go to chicago and want to win..He shouldn't be angry..On the other hand, Hardaway JR. should be a good addition to the Hawks roster and could provide some shot creation off of the bench..

David West agrees to sign with Spurs for veterans minimum $1.5M
SAN ANTONIO -- The Spurs continued their run of good fortune Monday, luring
free agent David West for what sources confirmed to ESPN's Marc Stein's will be the veterans minimum of about $1.5 million for next season.
West spent the past four seasons with the Indiana Pacers, with whom he opted out of a deal that would have paid him $12 million for 2015-16.
The deal follows Manu Ginobili announcing earlier in the day his return for a 14th NBA season.
The acquisition also comes on the heels of the Spurs bringing aboard highly touted free-agent forward LaMarcus Aldridge by way of a four-year maximum contract worth more than $80 million, which includes an opt-out after the third year.
West averaged 11.7 points last season on 47.1 percent shooting, in addition to pulling down 6.8 rebounds per game.
Sources said the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards all offered West more money, but he's made it clear in recent days his desire to join a contender.
"At this point in my career, it's all about winning," West said during a recent interview with WTHR-TV in Indianapolis. "And again, I don't want to be in a position where we're just fighting to make the playoffs. I want to be in a spot where we can legitimately taste the Finals."
The Spurs would seem the ideal destination for West, considering they re-signed starters Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to go with the acquisition of Aldridge; not to mention recent announcements concerning the returns of veterans Tim Duncan and Ginobili.
The Spurs committed a considerable amount of salary-cap space to bring aboard Aldridge and re-sign Leonard and Green. So depth was a concern for the Spurs, given their limited cap flexibility.
But West agreed to the cap-friendly deal.
After news spread of Aldridge's signing, San Antonio's odds to win the West improved to 2-1 at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, and the club is 4-1 to win the NBA title behind only Cleveland, which is a 9-4 favorite.

UGH, suddenly the spurs kick lebrons ass for another 6 years. Ugh lol

???
Lebron didn't win any of his cheap ass rings against my team.

Lebron be like......"Time to retire".
Lebron be like, "I'm taking my talents to San Antonio..."

Did you notice that throughout the playoffs the CAVS wore yellow at home and gave out yellow T-shirts to their fan but they stopped in the finals giving out the yellow T-Shirts because they thought it would give GS the advantage since they did the same? Stupid move by the CAVS.

Doubtful. My team was in the Finals in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Where was Lebron those years? Oh yeah, that was before he starting forming super teams to stack the odds in his favor? Also, in 2011 we lost to the same team that beat Lebron. Besides, everyone knows that the west is a much tougher conference and it has been for many years.
Face it, your boy Lebron is ho. A whiny, flopping, cramping, cherry picking ho.........with a 2 for 6 record in the Finals. Not good dog.

where was kobe in 2005? heck where have they been the last 5 years? he's nothing without a great big man
lebron was winning league mvp's during most of the years you mentioned, though kobe won his first and only in 2008 before getting his ass beat by the celtics, cleveland was far from a "super team" during this playoff run
no sensible person thinks kobe at his best is better than lebron

Kobe at his best was fucking amazing. He's got more heart and more balls than an army of Lebrons. He's a winner, an assassin with ice water in his veins, a fucking warrior. KB completely rips his Achilles tendon and isn't shook, nikka walks the the free throw line, burys two, and then walks off. Then there's this dude....

they could play a "Three Towers" lineup I suppose:
- Magic pre-HIV
- Kobe
- Shaq
- Wilt
- Kareem
Lakers would of course win but that's not really impressive, the Bulls are not a historically good team. They lucked into Michael Jordan and benefitted tremendously from it for ~ a decade.

Yup, they could have had Sam Bowie if things were different.

Shaq actually beat MJ and Pippen's Bulls in the Playoffs. He was playing with a Orlando Magic roster far inferior to the Lakers roster he posted up on Instagram.
Plus, Derrick Rose is a fucking joke and that Bulls team literally doesn't have a center.
-
Bulls are going nowhere, at full strength they couldn't even come close to beating a Cavs team that was missing K-Love. No chance.
Rose days as an elite player are over.
Jimmy Butler is good but not a guy that's going to be the #1 on a championship team
Gasol is too old

lebron could sign 1-year contracts for $5mil each year and each year, sign with the top ranked team.
Do a year or two with the spurs, join the bulls for a season, etc. He'd probably get ten rings that way.

Even though Lebron won a ring against them, San Antonio is his Waterloo. His "greatness" will not be realized because of the Spurs. It would never happen but I'd love to see Lebron in Coach Popps system.

I don't think so (at least not probably) because their other players would get "worse". Lebron needs the ball a ton to be effective with his style. Can't really play off the ball too well.

He beat the Spurs once lost twice. Beat the Mavs and lost to the Mavs. Lost to the warriors once. Makes him 2-4. Both of his losses to the Spurs was he was on the Cavs.

He has two Finals wins:
- Thunder in 2012
- Spurs in 2013
Has only faced the Mavs once (loss in 2011).
He lost to the Spurs in 2007 (on the Cavs) and 2014 (on the Heat).

I think lebron would LOVE playing less and winning a ring. I think he'd completely enjoy laying back in teh cut, and seeing two Spurs run the fast break for an easy layup instead of doing it all himself.

Scott Skiles could win a title with that lineup lol
The only hope for us non-spurs fans is that san antonio GH doctors run out, and those vets start getting injured.

We don't cheat bro. See, it's only Coach Popp that can assemble a roster like this. Other Coaches couldn't get players to buy in the way Popp does AND for less money. The Spurs are the best sports franchise since 2000. Even better than my cheatin' ass Patriots. >:(

I don't like this new phenomenon that I'm calling "The Lebron Effect".
That's where all the good free agents swarm to sign with the same couple of teams. Almost all star players now seem to insist on playing with a roster full of other star players which of course gives them a much better chance to win. Stacked rosters. A lot of these guys are willing to take much less than their market value and play a lesser a role on a team full of stars. Stacking the odds in their favor to win rings.
I understand it, but I don't like it. I think it cheapens the process of winning rings and becoming a champion.

Pop develops players through the draft and makes them stars....
He has a great eye for talent and he doesn't kiss players asses....
LeBron needs a coach like that to be better....

This isn't a new practice, players have always wanted to play with friends or on championship teams; Isiah wanted Mark Aaguire, Horace Grant wanted to play with Shaq and Penny, Payton and Malone became Lakers, and there are numerous other examples.
LeBron was the first one to leave a team by his own admission in his prime, if he was traded to the Heat (and star players have demanded trades before) no one would have had a problem with how he left. That Cavs team was a complete mess.
It seems like LeBron had it easy in Miami, but he still lost two championship series.
Only one team wins the title every year, so it's still quite the accomplishment.
-
The part that's relatively new is superstar players moving to new teams all the time or "joining forces".
It used to be very rare for a superstar player in their prime to leave and join another team in free agency. Shaq is the first big name I can think of that did this.

you didn't seem to have a problem with the lakers signing malone or payton as a free agent
if they didn't get their butts kicked by the pistons you would be touting kobe's "6 rings"
you seemed to be cool with signing nash and howard too, but i guess when it fails miserably you don't see it as the team trying to buy titles LOL

sure they were but any team Lebron plays for seems to be the only one that gets hate for it
i will repeat this again and for the last time
if lebron stayed in cleveland they don't get the lottery pick to select kyrie, they also don't get the number 1's they used to trade for love
in other words lebron wouldn't have had help if he never left for miami, every other champion had help to win titles so enough of the "he sucks because he chases rings" BS, it's not his fault cleveland management doesn't know how to draft and build from within, not to mention the big free agents don't want to play in cleveland
leaving cleveland was the smartest thing he ever could've done but it's also the number 1 reason people shit on him

How the fuck would you know what I thought about Malone and Payton signing with the Lakers back in 2004? lol
You are obviously a little slow so I will try to say this as simply as possible. Karl Malone was 40 years old and in his 19th season when he decided to ring chase and join the Lakers. Gary Payton was 35 and obviously well pas this prime when he came to LA. Middle aged players at the ass end of their careers are not at all the same as young star players in their prime flocking to join each other at reduced salaries.
Also, When Nash came to LA he was about to turn 40 and by that time Kobe was 34. Furthermore, both Nash and Dwight Howard were traded for, they were not signed as free agents. It's also funny that both of the Lakers examples that you posted were instances where other players came to LA rather than Kobe leaving LA to play with them.

well you don't whine about those examples as much as you whine about lebron playing with better players, that is why i don't know how you felt
when will you realize that LA is far more of a destination point for EVERYBODY than cleveland? your boy kobe would be tracy mcgrady if the hornets didn't trade him
lebron is the only person in human history to be criticized for going for a better job opportunity, you people are sick

It's just simply because the word "star" is thrown around much more easily in 2015 opposed to the early 2000's where there were less "stars" but the league was much better, and there were much better players? Weird how that works, huh? Like Nuggets had Melo, Billups, Iverson, JR Smith, Camby etc that was a fairly stacked team but they weren't in championship contention IMO.. Spurs had a better team than now IMO mostly same players but prime duncan who is best PF of all time.. Rockets had Tmac and Ming and more.. Sonics had Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis.. Nets eventually had Vince Carter and Kidd with Kittles i believe? I mean Knicks finished winning with like 20 games won and had Stephon Marbury, Zach randolph, David Lee, Jamal Crawford, steve Francis, Allan houston, That is a "stacked team" in 2015 if they were all the same ages as they were in 2005 with similar productivity..
