Series Thread: NBA Finals: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

[DJ Fieri]

They needed both but they needed the role players, Vogel, etc. Without Lebron none of this is possible. He was the clear MVP imo. Lebron has shown he can carry a team...AD at times but not close to the level of Lebron, I mean AD barely got to the playoffs at times.

AD's talent in NO? In the WC?

Are you being serious?

 

[DJ Fieri]

lol

You realize AD was a point guard before his growth spurt, right?

He is. And Lance is wrong on this.

AD's ability to spread the floor with his shooting on the Bucks would be better than anything Giannis could do.

 

[DJ Fieri]

You could always become a Lakers fan. We're an open and accepting group. Heck, we even let TLF be a Lakers fan.

Trade TLF for Lance in a heartbeat......

Kelly, Black and Sacre aren't even in the League anymore.

 

[DJ Fieri]

To be fair to Jimmy, he was having to do it with guys like Lebron and AD on him and just about everyone the Lakers threw at him was bigger than him. Lebron never had to face Lebron and AD and a bunch of other guys who are bigger than him.

Yeah, the Lakers did a good job defending him.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Cmon man!

This is why people like me get so frustrated with Laker fans!

You just hung banner #17 and you had to wait 10 years between titles, which is an eternity in Lakerland.

Well, I have been waiting my whole damn life and I might never see it!

The fact that Laker fans can legitimately say that winning 1 title isn’t that meaningful in Laker lore literally makes me sick to my stomach.

I hate you all!

LOL. Sorry, it is what it is.

You are in Colorado, right? Yeah, no such luck. Den/NE going at same time.

Yep. I'm surrounded by locals that like to eat deep fried bulls balls and think Elway's the greatest QB ever. Lotta dumbasses around here. But I've been able to watch 3 of the Browns first 5 games. Hopefully I'll get a couple more.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'll even throw in a 2nd round pick to unload TLF on the Wizards for Lance.

After #50.

TLF has an NTC. Jim Buss gave it to him.

 

[Wamu]

The Lakers won the title. Just disgusting. But that won't stop me from talkin' shit about 'em. It's just getting a little more difficult. I'll figure something out though.

The Lakers don't want Giannis. If that would happen then yous guys gotta deal with buckboy jumping on the bandwagon.

 

[msgkings322]

when it comes to the playoffs he was, but most had many of same predictions as him. Not patting my own back as hardly any thought really went into it (said I'm not picking against Lebron until someone other than GS beats him) but I had to be in minority here of non-Laker fans who said Lakers would win title, right? and who had Miami getting past Bucks?

We're talking about his entire body of work, not just these playoffs. His biases and troll instincts compel him to make stupid takes.

 

[tlance]

OK, but he did make playoff predictions and they mirrored many of us. And you just posted about 8-9 things you think he was wrong about and he was actually right about 5-6. You are kind of doing what he is accused of (and he should be accused of this)......you have an agenda and you stick to it no matter what. In your case it is wiggy and not a player.

Before you reply with the all I do is stick up for him I have called him out on many topics....especially his thoughts on butler.

The criticism of Wiggy has absolutely nothing to do with his playoff predictions.

It is about the anti-Laker and Heat BS he spewed for YEARS.

And it is very well deserved.

He actually said LeBron leaving Cleveland was an indication that he was finished trying to compete for titles.

LOL.

I appreciate the offer, but I will go down the forever sinking ship that is the Wizards.

Are you being serious?

Are you trying to compare what Lebron did with AD? None of it is possible with Lebron, plain and simple.

Co-MVP's??....you're a joke

Gotta respect the loyalty.

LOL.

AD is an excellent ball handler for a 7 footer.

So is Giannis.

Giannis actually plays point for his team. AD does not.

AD is a great player and extremely talented. But that is homerific as hell to say he is a better ball handler and passer.

Giannis has been the primary ball handler for his team for years. AD will push on the break, but he isn’t a point forward like Giannis.

 

[Shanemansj13]

He is. And Lance is wrong on this.

AD's ability to spread the floor with his shooting on the Bucks would be better than anything Giannis could do.

How can he be wrong? We haven't seen it. Stop making yourself look stupid, DJ. AD can't handle the ball like Giannis...we haven't seen him lead a team past the 1st round

I remember those days Shaqdaddy. What a nightmare!!

 

[tlance]

AD was a point guard in high school.

Giannis is basically a point guard today, in the NBA. And he has won 2 MVP awards playing that role.

So no, I don’t think AD is a better ball handler and passer than Giannis.

Do you actually believe that?
