Wow...this first game between the Celtics and Cavs is TERRIBLE. Celtics are down going into the 4th quarter and LeBron is 1-10 from the field. This all make me wonder, who is more overrated?
-
I'll say Lebron for now, but the Celts really dogged that 1st series with the Hawks.
-
The Celtics. I don't think I've ever seen a championship caliber team lose their hunger BEFORE winning a championship.
-
I'll go with the Celtics since it took them 7 games to deal with the Hawks. Lebron is a phenomenal player.
-
Celtics
-
Damn I had just turned on the tv when I made that post, I didn't realize how shitty Lebron was playing
edit: jesus christ he just keeps missing
-
i'll admit the first quarter was kinda sloppy
but ya'll niggas are just blinded by all the offense in the west
this is what we call DEFENSE
-
Damn and I was just getting ready to rid him of that LeChoke moniker. Well its back.
-
Damn and I was just getting ready to rid him of that LeChoke moniker. Well its back.
dude had 12 points, 9 rebs and 9 assists
thats not a bad game when Ill-gauskis is the only other guy who showed up on offense

He failed in the clutch, though. He missed 3 layups in the final minute. On of which would have tied the game.

Missing 3 layups in the final mintue of a close playoff game is more then just "sometimes". And this is only the tip of the iceberg.
-
Bron had his worst playoffs game and it was a close game .. if I were the C's, I would be a little worried

the layup miss with 30 seconds left was extremely difficult of a shot
the last one he shoulda made though.
sheet happens.

you can say the same exact thing about Ray Allen and Paul Pierce
when those 2 are playing like they usually do, the Celts woulda blown them out.

Now I'm wondering who the fuck gave LeBron that first place MVP vote. :-X

who votes, reporters?
do ex MVPs get a vote? like the Heisman trophy?

What about his other stats (keep in mind that I like Lebron)
FGM-2 FGA- 18
3PM- 0 3PA-6
TO- 10
Good god

LeBron no dizzout. He's a great player and all, but got damn all the hype on him is annoying as fuck. He hasn't won a goddamn thing.
The Celts on the other hand are a good team. We know this by their regular season record and record against the West. So we actually have some results to back the hype. They are held back by Doc. They are going to need Cassell to continue to step up to hit big shots. KG, Pierce, and Allen are great and all, but they need someone with a ring to help them in crunch time.
It's similar to PHX in the SA series. Even though Shaq clearly deferred to Nash and Amare as the leaders of the team, they needed Shaq to lead the team when it came to the playoffs. Not that they needed a lot more mins out of him, they just needed his leadership because it was clear that Nash went fetal position and sucked his thumb in that series. SA had complete mind control over him. When they played the Spurs at the end of the regular season, they were running their offense through Shaq and had tons of success. He was posting up and spinning around Duncan like I hadn't seen him do in a minute, nailing those baby hooks and layups. Having someone w/ a ring (multiple rings w/ diff teams at that) is huge.
-
LeBron is just young with too much weight on his shoulders..
1 game outta of 90+ so he had a horrible one. (Too bad he picked the Playoffs second rounder to do it)
But Boston on the other hand...
I say Kobe let's KG hold that MVP overnight cause without KG this team is Atlanta. (record wise not talent)
-
all the above
-
LOL@another hate thread. Next time Kobe and the Lakers have an off-game, I'm going to make a thread called "Who sucks more, Kobe or the Lakers?"
As for Game 1, I'd be hella worried if I was Boston. They lost all away games against the Hawks, and now they are almost losing a home game against the Cavs, while James has a game as lackluster as it can get for him.
-
^^ who screams like a bitch louder everytime they get the ball in the paint?
pau gasol or lamar odom
flop artists lol nobody be even around them at times that shit be having me bustin up :laugh:

wow..1 game...get over it dick.

LeBron James
-
I was expecting this to be the most exciting series. Hopefully they turn around for us to see that.
-
LOL@the groupies gettin mad. Anyone who denies that Lebron or the Celtics have been overrated in any way is in denial.
-
lmao @ lebron james overrated :D
-
Next time Kobe and the Lakers have an off-game, I'm going to make a thread called "Who sucks more, Kobe or the Lakers?"
You might have to wait a while. Kobe's never gone 2-18 with 10 turnovers in the playoffs. :-X
-
Not anymore... if he has a really bad day, there are other people to carry the ball and to score. Last year, that type of numbers in an off-game wouldn't have surprised anyone.
-
I expect LeBron to EXPLODE tonight. everything to the basket
no three's & defo noy layup's.....Throw it down 'Bron.
If Boston don't step their game up and expect James to play like he did in game 1. (I smell blowout)
Pierce and Allen are gonna need to be in top form tonight to defeat a Motivated James and Cleveland.
but with a KG and a very underated bench..
Boston still will be the fav to win this series.
as for tonight tho... Cavs (If they wanna continue playing, They Must win tonight and avoid the 2-0)
because if the lose beating the Celtics 4 out of the next 5 has been next to impossible this season.
-
I was expecting this to be the most exciting series. Hopefully they turn around for us to see that.
just wait for game 3
the jazz will get all the rebounds like games 1 and 2 and the lakers wont go to the line nearly as much
-
kobe never has a game that bad thats why hes the best and lebron and the celtics are overrated remember kobe took his team by himself to the 1st round in the western conference two years in a row and almost got them to the 2nd round but the suns cheated all lebron could do was take his team with the all star help he had to the finals and get swept hahaha what a loser

2-18 by Kobe? LMAO...If that wouldn't surprise you, then you simply don't know Kobe Bryant.
-
Lebron is overrated but he's still one of the best players in the league, The Celtics had the best record in the league but that is just some window dressing cause they are just not that good, I think Denver would have taken these muthafuckas to 7 games.
-
I think Denver would have taken these muthafuckas to 7 games.
I agree...they woulda struggled against ANY playoff team from the west.

denver plays no defense, unlike Atlanta.
we would've waxed them niggas.
we were 25-5 against the west, 31-11 against the east.
the east is a stronger league ;) haha jk.
-
^ya'll overachieved like Dallas in the previous season.

2-0
hopefully they dont fuck this up like the atlanta series

no shame in running into a #1 seed.
the Cavs just aren't athletic enough. the only position on the court they are superior at is Lebron.
-
wow this is like a win-win situation for NIK. He hates both the Celtics and Lebron so either one you guys vote for he would advocate.
-
^Like I said before, I don't hate LeBron...I just think he is madly overrated.

The Celtics can play D but there's really no excuse for the way Lebron's been playing, everyone is entitled to off nights but he's been playing like shit

it's 1 on 5 man, dude's got alot of pressure going against the leagues #1 defense

Do Or Die Tonight vs. Boston.
James has to be HUGE tonight, or else the Cavs should just sit him out the rest of the way.
and prepare for next season. 8)
3-0 = No way to win.
-
LOL
-
celtics on the road is not so good this playoff haha
C's cant do much when the Cavs are shooting 90% of their shots though. oh well.
game 4 monday
-
Another shitty performance by LeBron and the Celtics still lose. :-X

kinda like the Lakers last night, right?

an L is an L my nigga. quit tryin' to play spin doctor. the jazz have been outrebouding the lakers all series long, it's obvious they're going to win the games they play in Utah when the refs are easier on them.
meanwhile, the Cavs are shooting solid today and the C's look shakey like usual on the road. i'd like to win atleast one game in cleveland.

My point was that LeBron played another shitty game and Boston still lost. with Utah, their star players had an exceptional game when they played us. Lakers are taking tomorrows game in Utah.
-

i told ya in the other thread, utah at home = money.
game 5 in LA the Lakers will win, and game 6 in Utah I expect the Jazz to win.
-
If the Lakers make their free throws today, we win... Utah has been playing great ball, so I give it up to them. But we're taking the next 2.
-

Utah's been dominating on the boards all series, they're matching up very well
almost makes you wonder what if they took Chris Paul...

we had the 2nd chance scoring advantage today.... the free throws were off and thats what killed it... during regulation at least.

Deron Williams is a better fit for Utah than Paul woulda' been....Still Utah didn't dominate on the glass in this game. Free throws and terrible officiating killed us today.
-
^^Paul and Williams still would have been good if they were flip-flopped, but I definitely agree that they each fit way better on their current team. Utah needs Williams to hit those outside shots and take over the way he does, while Paul can facilitate and doesn't have to be an outside shooter so much when Peja is money from long-range and West has a nice mid-range jumper. Paul has gotten all the exposure this year, but Williams is a great young PG also.
By the way, LeBron and Boston have both deserved their hype, Boston for winning so many games, and LeBron has made a lot of game-winners and clutch plays, but this is what can happen to a player who isn't a great shooter. He played a little better in Game 3, and if the role players do their thing again in Game 4, they can even this series up.
-
Kobe > Ron Paul > Chris Paul
-
I'm a genius for making this thread way before anyone knew both LeBron and Boston would flop for 4 games straight....or maybe I just forsaw the truth. 8)
-
^Or maybe you're just a hater... with that said LeBron had some true gangsta plays in game 4... have you ever thought of them being neutralized by each other cause both teams are pretty good on defense, you "genius"? Watch 'em play the Nuggets, like your asses did, and they both look much better on paper.
-

I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for LeBron's shooting percentage throughout this series... I'm not a hater, I just keep it real.. and you just so happen to be a major LeBron dickrider, so it's upsetting you. :)
-
they made a great point last night on tnt.. bostons a Jump shooting team with no go to guy. paul pierce is the closest thing to one but hes getting punked by lebron hes completely overmatched its evident.
ray allen imo is a regular season hero he reminds me alot of glen rice
-
Wow...This was Celeveland's game for the taking. Lucky for Boston, LeBron made some HUGE mistakes down the stretch. :-X
-
Detroit will beat Boston ... LOL at Eddie House being more excited in this game than the 40 year old virgin after a french kiss
-
^Detroit is not a good team how many times have I got to tell that to yall niggas

I duno about that one.....
LeBron has a better overall game tha Nique ever had. And LeBron is arguably the best player in the league, if not the best, than second behind Kobe I would say. Nique was never considered in the top 1 or 2 players in the league.

Actually, at one point, Nique was considered the best player behind Jordan...and anyone who argues that LeBron is currently the best player in the league needs to be shot in the head. Regardless, Dominique Wilkins had a lengthy career where he dominated opponents for years. LeBron is only in his 5th season...As of now, Dominique in his prime would take LeBron..PeACe

Doubt it. Dominique's prime prolly WAS his fifth season or so.....LeBron right now is better than Nique was IMO. James is only going to continue to get better. You need to pull your head out of Kobes ass man. You are so infatuated with Kobe that you think nobody is on his level or even close. Bron is on that level, and close to the top player in the league. And Nique was never on the same level as Jordan, Bird, Magic IMO.

So you think LeBron is on Kobe's level? LMFAO...Come on, now. Not even the analysts at ESPN claim that anymore. If anyone needs to pull their head out of their ass it's you...and watch some damn games before you make ridiculous statements. Dominique was closer to Jordan than LeBron is to Kobe...LeBron is NOT on the same level of Jordan, Bird, Magic, Kobe, etc. either...and if you think he is, then get some help.
-

there's no doubt NIK is really on Kobe's dick, way too major
but I have to honestly say that nobody right now in the league is on Kobe's level
to even think LeBron is close to Kobe at this point in time is pretty absurd
LeBron is not even in the vicinity of being as good a closer as Kobe and actually setting up a good shot to end a game
sure he can take over during the game, 4th quarter can be his stage etc....
he is in the top handful in the league I agree, but other than his dunks he doesn't impress me....
shot selection is shakey and although he's a good passer he can make some bonehead plays
every time I see him in a clutch situation he makes a dumb move and it just shows that he's not on top of it yet
I've been watching the Lakers my whole life, ever since the Lakers 3-Peat Kobe's been off the chain with his skill
LB's a young player and there's no telling what he'll become but right now but to think LeBron is on Kobe's level is kind of funny
one thing they have in common though is they're both arrogant fucks....
LB saying "maybe tonight we could make some people forget about Bird and Wilkins" give me a break, that's an insult to Larry and his jumpshot
LB wishes he could one day come close to being the shooter Larry Bird was or even win multiple MVP's and multiple titles... he's got a lot of dues to pay

How am I on his dick if me and you are saying the same things? You just hate me, so not matter what I say, despite how logical it may be, you're gunna hate on me...but you'll never hate on what I actually say. In fact, you agree with it, while still claimin it institutes "riding dick". Quite contradictory.
-
Im not trying to say Bron is better than Kobe, but he is one of the top players in the league, as far as skills go I would say hes right behind Kobe. If he was playing with guys like Odom and Gasol ect. the Cavs would have beat Boston and have a pretty good damn shot at being in the final, which is where Kobe is headed right now.

Its not his fault he doesnt have the right players surrounding him. He does what he can with what he has to work with. It was the same case for Kobe the past few years, up until this season.

It's his fault that they lost to the Celtics. Kobe carried his team on his shoulders, willed them to the playoffs, and made everyone around him look better (Smush, Kwame, Mihm, etc). LeBron simply stole the shine from his whole team and had the Cavs playing worse when he was putting up major numbers. You gotta see the difference.
