Series Thread: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals Thread

[LAD]

dude...it all comes down to Speights.

SPEIGHTS!

SPEIGHTS WILL TAKE YOU TO NEW HEIGHTS!!!!


lol

Something akin to it all comes down to JR in Cleveland, right? Hahaha you two are so blinded by your own homerism that trying to have a basketball conversation with you that isn't praising LBJ is worthless.

So Lebron is the best, is what you're getting at

When have I EVER said he wasn't?
Gap has greatly narrowed though IMO.

Worked out for Toni and Michael

But says he's playing his best ball ever.....

It was a joke. btw Cleveland has lost 2 STARTERS--one star-- and a hobbled one star. It's so tough on the Warriors losing a bench player they can replace with David Lee or Ezeli

To be fair, it appears that in losing 1 star, the Cavs may have discovered one in TT. He's been a defensive beast and is earning himself a nice payday.

I totally agree and while they lost Love, it could be a blessing in disguise with the minutes TT plays now. Still Love out on the 3 line creates so much, honestly

LBJ isn't the #1 player anymore but he is still in the Top 3 or 5. He wouldn't be my #1 pick. His shooting just isn't there. Again this is not a bash. I have him in my Top 3 or 5. Still a great player. I know LBJ homers will freak out. Age does catch up and Mins.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

My and then I'm done on the subject.

I think the response to Wiggy - generally speaking - is a bit overly aggressive.

His opinions aren't the most popular (on our generally anti-LeBron forum here) and he has a habit of writing absurdly long posts... but rarely have I ever seen posts that go too far or approach anything that would warrant "no one likes you or wants you here".

I'm not on here all the time... so maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get the over-the-top animosity.

People here aren't for the most part anti LeBron the basketball player.

Wiggy though, is all over the place. He tries to trash basically every other team or fan base.

He brings little to the table other than wild predictions/comments that include taking both sides of the outcome.

Anyone can talk shit or make excuses after the fact.

It's tiring.

Correct, I am a Lakers fan as well as a Warriors fan. I'm not sure why that's a problem for you or anyone else as I'm free to support/follow any or as many teams as I'd like. In reference to you not knowing what I am I could say the same about you. I mean, who are you to judge me for not being in agreement with your obsession with LBJ? I come here to have basketball conversations and have been able to do so with others here. If you'd rather not do so that is your decision and please feel free to move right on past my posts without quoting them & I'll return the favor.

Averages and efficiency are 2 different things.
James has had some good games and some bad games.
I've seen him play better, for longer...that's all.

No question his efficiency is way down. We hold him to his own ridiculous standard which is fine.

But posting 27,8,10 with a 12-2 record in the first 3 rounds of the playoffs is ridiculously impressive and praiseworthy no matter who your are or who you're playing.

Yes, but if you saw his quote he explained why.

If his efficiency is way down, then he's not playing his best ball ever (as he claimed).
Why is this so hard?

I'm not saying he hasn't been very effective...just another example of why he should just play vs speak.

Panties in a wad. IMO you can only have one true team that you call "your team".
