what Bs you spewing now? this isnt about LeBron pumping it up after Klay ran his mouth is it? lol

before Klay ran his mouth down 1-3

24.7 pts, 48% shooting, 8 assists, 11 boards, 6 turnovers a game

after Klay ran his mouth and poked the bear 3-0

36.3 points, 51% shooting, 10 assists, 12 boards, 2 turnovers a game

and one ring ...lesson learned- if you are fortunate to have the best player in the game and one of the best of all time down 3-1--- dont open your mouth or chances are you will have it slammed shut.

You can give me all the rainbows you want, but Lebron literally said himself he plays at 100% at all times. But I guess you know better than him about his motivation right?

convince me that insulting the best player in the game during the Finals is a good idea. LOL.

Klay got what was coming to him. He poked the bear- and the bear ate him.

D bag finally realized he's damaging his franchise's ability to attract players.

The damage has been done. It's a wonder that Melo wants to stay there.

What did Klay say during the Finals to insult Steph Curry?

he told him his shoe sales would tank in the coming year (he was right).

I haven't been on much lately.

Did we already cover the Nuggets being in the #8-seed spot and the likely scenario of them sweeping the Warriors in the opening round?

i was def. surprised when i saw that score last night.

Wil Barton needs to get some love from the media. Guy can flat out play when he wants to.

Nuggets winning a series as the 8 seed, is this '94 all over again?

Such bullshit.

Wouldn't the ultimate motivation be to NOT go down 3-1 if you're already down 2-1?

ill tell ya- the Cavs are dealing some injuries right now which is a bummer---- but they are lucky that they have the man power to deal with it

there starting shooting guard goes down in JR, Shumpert can move right in--- he goes down- Korver can take a majority of those minutes with Liggins helping a little.

Klay sat out last night for the Warriors--- and look at some of these guys getting minutes...Ian Clark 27 minutes, McAdoo 14 minutes, Looney 16 minutes, McCaw 35 minutes (with his best game of the season), McGee with 16 minutes, Weber with 24 minutes, some guy named D. Jones with 12 minutes.....

The Cavs have injury issues- but they go 9 deep when healthy--- Bron, KI, Love, Thompson, JR, Korver, Shumpert, Frye, Jefferson---- id trust those 9 guys in the playoffs

how many guys on the Warriors do you trust to play 20 minutes in teh playoffs? 6? 7?...and thats WITH livingston and iggy- who will likely be gone next year if the Warriors keep Durant- and the warriors have no good way to replace them except for min. type deals.

One side effect of Love being out... I think we will see LeBron make up some serious ground in the MVP race.

LeBron is at 26-8-9 right now, Harden is at 29-8-11. Keep in mind that 55 of the 61 NBA MVP's were on a team with a top-2 seed.

Personally, I would go Westbrook, but the MVP has never gone to someone outside the top 4 in their conference.

Orlando gave up Oladipo, the No. 11 pick and Ilyasova for 3 months of Ibaka, Terrence Ross and a late first rounder. Oops.

Orlando been living in the lotto since Dwight. Organizations that know what they're doing like the Heat and Spurs seldom find themselves in the lotto for this long. Moves like this is why these teams suck for such a prolonged period of time.

So you're saying that Lebron needed motivation during the finals in order to lead the Cavs to the ship? So disrespectful. Lebron would probably spit in your face if you said that to him

thats why i just dont see RW winning it. It would be against quite a bit of precedent to give it to a guy who's team did not get at least 1 series with home court advantage.

I still think its on the table for LeBron if he really has a strong finish- esp. with Love hurt, and Harden slips up a little bit.

The thing is- i dont know anyone who would say LeBron is not the best player in the league- and he is on a team that is in first in his conference. I mean- that alone is a great argument for him.
