LOL!why are u nerds celebrating it like he won the championshipEver since the middle of the 2016-17 season, it felt like every regular season game was a playoff game for the cavs. They kept getting everybody's best shot. They couldn't even chill or get to try something different against some of the worst teams in the league cause they acted like it was game 7 vs the cavs. But a lot of those teams chose to play their hardest vs. the cavs but don't vs. other teams. I felt that Lebron chose to play all 82 games to stop people's crying about him sitting at least a game. Some people need a game off. The pacers shoulda won that series, the cavs were supposed to lose to the raptors or celtics. It was someone else's time to be in the finals this season. But the raptors had & needed game 1 but choked & lost the series there. Celtics kept bricking 3's in game 7. Last year, both warriors & cavs teams breezed through the playoffs 24-1. They're suprised Lebron got there again this time. I'm surprised! Without Kyrie & the supporting cast being almost as bad as the 1st cavs team Lebron carried to the finals.
It was a pathetic roster lmfao. It was worse than LeBron in '07. At least they were a great defensive team. This team was built to somewhat competitively shoot with Golden State. LeBron was finding them all series long & they shot 30% on practically wide open shots. Can't do anything about that. & defensively, it was one of the worst teams I've ever seen in my life.There were stretches in the playoffs where Jose Calderon, JR, Kyle Korver & Kevin Love were on the floor simultaneously. That was the starting lineup early on.https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/LAL/2010.htmlhttps://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CLE/2018.htmlScroll down to "playoffs per game". The rosters aren't even comparable & that's not even taking into account LeBron played the greatest team ever assembled.Wild 33 year old LeBron touts over 31 year old Kobe though.
lmfao, son won't address the stats.Stats I posted >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your biased ass opinion of comparing players.Second leading scorer in the playoffs was Kevin Love with 14.9 PPG. Nobody else has double digits. Nobody else played defense. That's insanity.Statistically, Ron, Fisher & Odom outplayed literally everyone other than Kevin Love. & if you factor in rebounds, defense & FG% I could argue Bynum as well.If I had to quickly ranked BASED OFF PERFORMANCE & reality of what took place, not you quick player comparison it would go...1. LeBron2. Kobe3. Pau4. Love5. Artest6. Fisher7. Odom8. Bynum9. Who gives a shit at this point?
lol, actually got me to react to a troll. God bless ya, NIK.
if u understand basketball
Quote from: Sccit on June 27, 2018, 06:10:25 PMif u understand basketball lmao, fam the game is 100% different than it was when Kobe won those titles 8-9 years ago.All the competitive teams in the NBA today are virtually having a 3 point contest. Houston this year had arguably the most efficient offenses in the history of the NBA. All they took was either a 3 or layup/dunk. The mid range game & the percentages of shooting that shot are dead; Unless you KD & surrounded by two of the greatest pure shooters ever, plus a team of pretty good shooters. The game isn't relatively close to being played the same way it was 8 years ago. Where Kobe's hero ball, virtually playing like Russell Westbrook wins games.It's impossible for that style to win today. To put it in context, this year's Houston team, who failed to make the NBA Finals most likely would of swept or won in no more than 5 games against those Laker team's in 09-10.LeBron makes every single player in the history of his teammates better. FAM, I can't stress this enough. Look at those Miami teams. Not a player is still in the NBA other than Wade & Chalmers now riding the bench in Memphis. In the moment, everyone thought that team was stacked.At this point reading my response you're reading this sentence grinning, just waiting for it to be over to throw back at me Chris Bosh & Kevin Love. Both of those players on their respective teams before playing with LeBron were on losing teams, where their talents of playing alone, lead to losing. The game was changing & he needed a strong, 3rd go to guy, who needed to be able to stretch the floor & hit some jumpers. All LeBron did for those two was lead them to 8 straight NBA Finals combined. Wade was never held back in Miami, despite your poorly written article, Kyrie was never held back. Kyrie wanted out because he saw the writing on the wall. KD went to Golden State, ruined the league & Kyrie knew (or strongly felt) LeBron was going to leave & didn't want to be stuck in limbo like that & probably felt a type of way that LeBron, being the equivalent to Jordan, was literally the story of the NBA & Kyrie, who is a wildly talented player, was reduced to the side kick role, that Wade so effortlessly succumbed to. It wasn't Bron's style of play, it was Kyrie's ego unfortunately getting the best of him. It is what it is.But for every single other player, other than his needed stretch 4, from his first stint in Cleveland, to Miami, back to Cleveland, everyone else he's ever played with has been the best they've ever been because of what he does for his teammates.
That's just blatantly lying lmfao. That's why I can't talk basketball on here. Literally told you, that you would use those two & you just looped a long winded paragraph to use the only two players who weren't the same all stars they used to be because they were relegated to a 3rd option because OBVIOUSLY they would be. Everyone else you're mentioning, you're just looking at PPG & saying "oh he averaged less playing with LeBron".Bron ball = space the floor & let greatness happen & people have to knock down jumpers. All that's gotten him? 8 straight NBA Finals. Blew 2011, lost to a better Spurs team in 2014, better & a Warriors team 3 times.The examples you're using are lame. Kevin Love wasn't winning at all being the centerpiece in Minnesota. Obviously his stats are going to go down playing with LeBron & Kyrie. Obviously Bosh stats are going to go down playing with Wade & Bron. Almost every 4 & 5 in the league shoots 3's now. It's the way the game is played. Maybe they don't like it. Maybe marginal shooters like Crowder doesn't like it, but that's how it it's played.& lmfao @ calling me a nerd. We've spoken about basketball for 10 years. It has nothing to do with being an analytical nerd. It's just the way the game is played now. I'm not going to argue about what old team would beat a new age team. It's pretty simple to figure out, but you've always held on to the nostalgia, so I'll let you live in your fantasy land.But the biggest lmfao @ talking "If you knew the X's & O's" & don't understand Phil ran the same old triangle he ran with Kobe & Shaq. Pau was a focal point of the Laker's offense after Kobe got his. It wasn't Kobe who made him better, it was Kobe listening to Phil. That's why when Phil wasn't around before & after those titles, Kobe looked like a clueless ball hog. Kobe was great, but he needed structure.
