My wife hides the Halloween candy from me.

Dude, I already put the no candy signs on my door....lol

Yes, in fact, with no more titles any rational fan with no agenda would know the Cavs run was far better with their 3 extra trips to the Finals.

And let's add in the Cavs knocked out Toronto 3 times winning 12 of 14 games.

If you want to deflect to the future, great, but you made your comments in the present.

My last post on the topic because I don't want to gum up the thread with this another day....

I agree with you.

But, it's okay if she doesn't.

I spent the better part of last night trying to force my opinion down her throat.

Perhaps she would have been more receptive had I not been passive aggressive....well, it wasn't really passive.

But, you get my point.

 

[dtgold88]

Yes, they will.

Because it was Lebron's Cavs.

Correct...... some will remember the Lebronto reference after beating them 3 times winning 12 of 14.

Never mind we are talking about the present, not what some might think years from now.

So how many games for Embild?
Simmonds?
KAT?

Do you think the social media stuff will have an effect on the length?

 

[Black Adam]

You mofos are annoying...lol

But, that's goalposts moving.

By that logic, the shitbird 90's Clippers were just as Successful as Malone's Jazz, Barkley's Suns, Kidd's Nets or Iverson's Sixers because they all ended up with the same amount of tiles.

Getting there doesn't count.

What logical individual would make that claim?...lol

not goalpost moving imo. more like bottom lining...

Just my opinion, though...

Reality based version
When considering the # of games handed out the last couple of season for prior skirmishes :
1-3 games for both KAT and Embiid.
Maybe a fine for both Simmons and Teague.

Silver hates the Sixers Process conspiracy version
1 game for KAT
Season ban for Simmons
Lifetime ban for Embiid

I don't think the NBA wants to get involved in how social media impacts their bottom line.

Interesting night in the NBA

Not from where I was sitting.

Conley had to pick last night to breakout of his slump.

Dude was like 2 of 40 on the Season before last night.

He ate Beverley up.

Who said Lakers fans are logical? lol

Logically speaking, I think most Lakers fans know deep down that a team can have a successful season without winning a title.

Technically speaking, if a team, especially a young team, wins more games one season than they did the previous season, that improvement makes for a successful season.

Or a team like your Clippers from last year. That team wasn't expected to do much and made moves that made it look like they had decided to tank.

Then they went out and won 48 games. Hard to say that wasn't a successful season.

But Lakers fans have been spoiled, so the expectation is a title, even when, logically, we know it isn't possible.

Dude, I already put the no candy signs on my door....lol

Funny thing is, I don't even really have that much of a sweet tooth. But that damn Halloween candy (especially Kit Kat's)...lol

 

[Black Adam]

Ok...then just say you don't care. No need to make an absurd comment (or initially agree with that comment) that Toronto's run was equivalent.

here we go again...

the only thing "absurd" is you trying to tell me what to do...

1 title=1 title. who gives a fuck if YOU disagree...?

Interesting game tonight vs Spurs

 

[dtgold88]

so

not goalpost moving imo. more like bottom lining...

Just my opinion, though...

so, yes, the Clips were as successful as the Jazz in that time?

The Bills made 4 straight Super Bowls but nobody cares about that run

Its all about the rings

EXACTLY...!

29 teams fail every season in the NBA...

"we made a run" may show progress, but it's STILL coming up short...

 

[Black Adam]

so

so, yes, the Clips were as successful as the Jazz in that time?

look in their trophy case. you tell me...

 

[Mecca]

Interesting game tonight vs Spurs

Yeah.

The Spurs are quietly putting in work.

They are healthy now and not to be taken lightly.

It's early. But, they are still unbeaten.

Sorry if a repeat or multiple repeat...

As someone who used to play a ton of one day fantasy, you just never know what you will get game to game sometimes.

Though not having Kawhi I'm sure didn't help.

Apple's and oranges.

Kelly was not LeBron.

Kelly didn't go to 9 straight Finals.

Kelly didn't beat a 16 win team for a chip.

The Raptors are the Bills.

The Cavs are more like....The Elway Broncos.

Like it or not, the Cavs run is historical because it will always be Lebron's Mt. Everest.

The Raps won too.

But, after LeBron left.

So, no...

They were not on the Cavs level.

I mean, that's the Clippers reality, so can't use that as an excuse.

He and George will miss a ton of games.

Next man up.
