2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Eh, I'd say the Ray Allen shot in game 6 was the bigger shot. If he doesn't hit that shot with 5 seconds left, the Heat lose the title to the Spurs. Kyrie's shot was the go-ahead game winner. If he doesn't hit that, the game likely goes into OT. But to each its own.

of the 2 that one was the one that made me say out loud "he bailed LeBron's black ass out..."

screw you, Ray Allen...

If not for that shot, Lebron at the time would be sitting at 1-3 in the Finals.

The Bucks lose another player to injury. Beasley hurts knee.

i mean- i get what you are saying- however, you saw the stats on Game 7. Road teams almost never win game 7. combine that with GSW having the home record they had, and the fact they hadnt lost 2 in a row at home in years....you can see that it was done because the Cavs had LeBron and the Warriors didnt.

Itll be the same this year- the Warriors have 4 top 20 players. I dont think that has ever happened before. I LOVE kyrie is a player- everyone knows that- but a 24 year old kyrie irving playing pretty much his first extended playoffs after being hurt the previous year was lebrons best sidekick- and he did step up obviously- but he was a 24 year old with barely any playoff experience still not close to his prime. Kevin Love had a concussion and missed a game and was out of sync after that.

LeBron is just that damn good---- when he gets help from his supporting cast like he did from KI and TT and JR- he can do anything.

If LeBron can pull it off again this year- it will only add to the legend.

I wrote them off after game 4. Most people did. Their Finals victory was definitely historic and I think it helped Lebron redeem himself in the eyes of a lot of basketball fans. I'm still not sure how they pulled it off. Yeah -- Lebron really is that damn good. I'll even add -- I'm writing them off again this year . . . already. If he's able to lead them to another championship, that's incredible. I don't know how anyone could knock the guy if he wins it again, especially if Golden State is healthy and the Cavs still beat them.

If it wasn't for that great catch by Edelman, Tom Brady might still only have 4 SB wins.

its a shame he didnt get more help his first year in the Finals vs. Golden State....injuries really took any chance of winning that series out of his hands. He honestly got MVP consideration on the losing team he was that insanely good that series.

I still get a kick out of all the people who so quickly and stupidly jumped on the Curry as best player bandwagon. Nobody who has seen the last 2 NBA Finals could even make a semi-cogent argument that Curry is better at basketball than LeBron James.

There is no one in the entire NBA that is more valuable than LeBron James.

Cool

You are full of excuses. When Kyrie and Love missed the ENTIRE series, you said we couldn't use that as an excuse.

Do u really want me to slap you around again?

Stop it, because that is the same thing you Cavs fans shouted from the roof tops in 2015. What's good for the goose is good for the gander my friend!

 

[LAD]

You don't go to game 7 if you're significantly better than your opponent. You don't start the series with 3 losses in 4 games if you're significantly better than your opponent.

The "odds of winning" is irrelevant. We're talking about the results of a specific contest. The Cavaliers won game 7. It doesn't mean they were significantly better, it only means that they won the game. The problem with Cavaliers fans on here seems to be that they always try to exaggerate the accomplishments of their team and its players.

Hey @lebron23james
It's ok to pick your face up off the floor.

Bulls going for 5 in a row. Let's go

Well, at least Thon will get more burn.

Sucks though....

Black ass?

I can't stop laughing! There's some junk in that trunk.

That's 1 funky lava lamp.

Durant just went out. Warriors are all jumpers now. If he doesn't come back, the Warriors probably will go to the line 7 times
