These coaches really need a 101 in how to properly substitute. Why would you sit Kawhi the first 7 minutes of the 4th when you're losing?

Clippers are useless. Thanks for nothing

 

[bksballer89]

Ty Lue stop playing some of the clippers best bench players....yeah this team won't make the finals

One hellava road win by the bockers

 

[tlance]

so make a move even though they know they still wont win. Give up a shot to get a top pick to add to the team (at time thought to be top 3 in what was considered a loaded draft). How often do title contenders get a chance to add a top pick? Happens, but rare. Lebron isn't going to realize a top pick after the season with no cap space is a good thing? Instead he's gonna be thinking about the asset they acquired that didn't help, and that's the last straw?

Never mind he's going to forget he has a pretty nice house in LA and most of his offseason business is there?

I always appreciate the free comedy you provide.

What is hilarious is that you and many other Cleveland fans don’t even care that Gilbert didn’t put forth any real effort to maximize the roster and retain LeBron.

I never once said it would have worked. All I have said is that if maximizing their assets would have increased any chance of LeBron staying, they should have done it.

Because what you see now is what you will likely get for a long, long time.

So much better to strike out swinging then on a called 3rd strike. That is basically what the Cavs did in this scenario.

And are okay with it. Awesome.

Lakers fans have been telling y'all that for decades.

The Heat have to be the most Jekyl and Hyde team in the league.

We're peaking at the right now.

I would prefer the Knicks in round 1 as Atlanta is dangerous but playing Atlanta is still better than any of the big 3. This fight to stay out of 6th/play in game position this final week will be exciting

Eh

They tried minus flipping that 1st round pick they got for Kyrie. I doubt most saw that Isiah was going to be THAT bad. But sure it was basically a bunch of spare parts to try and make a run.

That first round pick could've netted them a better asset. But that was also their first step at rebuild if Lebron left. Re- signing Love was dumb AF not that that has anything to do with our current discussion

 

[bksballer89]

This guy luka is a piece of crap

 

[flyerhawk]

You said he was basically washed and questioned Miami for signing him and basically said he would have zero impact.

You were wrong and now afraid to admit it

I said no such thing. You posted a Tweet that Ariza has the closing 5 for the Heat along with Iggy. I commented on how that was pretty unlikely. He's playing 27 minutes a game and has a line of 9/5/2.

I didn't watch the game today but congrats on Ariza having a good game.

lol points is the only way players can impact a game?

And also that's a lie. I posted a tweet about a DEFENSIVE LINEUP/SITUATIONAL LINEUP needing a stop.....COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE CLOSING 5

 

[Stakesarehigh]

The T wolves are hammering Orlando. Detroit just has to lose out for the 2

 

[thunderc]

So the Thunder, TWolves, Cavs and Magic are now tied for the 3rd worse record. Pistons only one game ahead. The Rockets have clinched the worst record. I guess it’s time to learn how loss tiebreakers work.

Suns getting their ass handed to them by the Lakers without Bron, Kuz, or Dennis lol

Lakers going to make quick work of them in round 1.
