Fair enough. Well then, Magic sucks too. jk

Well he's no Tristan Thompson that's for damn sure.

 

[TJL]

Magic and LeBron also both have 3 FMVP's

 

[TJL]

It's still funny to look at the list of Finals MVP's and see Iggy up there lmfao

I get a massive headache whenever I hear Stephen A. talk. No matter what the topic is.

Yeah but Whiteside has zero. Dan Gilbert for Prez-o-dent in 2020!

It's because he's a faggot

Glad you clarified this because you sounded butt-hurt

I might be. Too much Mecca and Big Red.

So will Patrick Ewing be a good HC for the Hoyas?

 

[Robotech]

The Wizards have too much class to take a last second shot when they are ahead by 20.


"Yep, totally agree," Wizards guard John Wall said when asked whether the Warriors treated the game disrespectfully in the closing minutes. "Whenever a team is up like that, supposedly, you just hold the ball and take a shot-clock violation. So, what Brandon did, I don't think it was dirty. I think it was the right play. You don't let nobody try to embarrass you and I think that's what they were trying to do."

Good point. The Wizards have done the same thing in recent games, so it's hypocritical for them to be upset. The best part was Brandon Jennings pretending that he really wanted to fight somebody.

What a flawed system IMO

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

James has way too many losses in the Finals to ever be considered the 2nd best ever imo.

Ive never agreed with that logic.
Jordan lost how many series in early rounds?
If James would have lost earlier in the first year he lead the Cavs to the Finals vs Spurs that would be better?

Hurricane is coming back next month. Just a heads up

 

[gordontrue]

lmao

the magic posted this pic to twitter, not realizing their was a whiteboard in the background of all of their trade/FA targets!

 

[trojanfan12]

i think the opposite. I think as LeBron ages he will move closer to the basket and play more as a PF.

I think he'll do a little both. What we won't see nearly as much are the explosive drives to the basket and taking the ball coast to coast and dunking on people.

I think, at least when it comes to scoring, Lebron will be a lot like Kobe. He'll trade those drives to the hoop, etc. for more jumpers and operating more in the post.

Like Kobe, you'll still occasionally see some of those plays where you say.."I remember that guy."

 

[trojanfan12]

Except... I never said you said anything. I thought we were just having a normal conversation.

Except...you did. You quoted my post and started talking dramatic declines and shit that no one said.

 

[trojanfan12]

I had to look LeBron's stats up but he really is having his best all around year of his career, he's never averaged 8+ rebs & 8+ asts before. I didn't realize. That's gonna get wiggy going into overdrive. My bad for mentioning it.

What it shows is how much he's had to do in order for the Cavs to win, despite Wiggy's claims that he would have to do less in Cleveland.

It also explains some of his drop off on defense. At his age and with those miles on his body, something had to give.
