Definitely healthier than fast food.

But, like any restaraunt, there are healthier choices and unhealthy choices. I have never looked at the nutrition facts either, but I can tell you that their food is not laced wth trans fat like the traditional burger joints.

I remember the days when we never paid attention to cholesterol, any kind of fat and other stuff.....

Watching the 30 for 30 on ESPN....Showtime Lakers vs Bird's Celtics....137-104, Lakers.

The Warriors are great and all but I don't think they'd beat either one of these squads....

Timmy D's great day was 14 years ago today.
It might be the single greatest combination of offense/defense ever displayed in a Finals game.

21/20/10/8 is arguably one of the best stat line ever in a Finals close out game.
8 blocks is still the Finals record. It almost overshadows the 20 rebounds and 10 assists.

The guy he guarded was 3 for 23 in the game giving Duncan an insanely comical 72 Defensive Rating.

Duncan 2003 was a one-man-team just like 2011 Dallas and 94/95 Rockets.

Bird's answer to a reporter after that game was funny...

think the reporter asked him what he thought of that game, and his response was something along the line of "oh, we LOVE getting beat by 33 points"...

....and Cavs fans can't complain after that Halloween party stunt and the Ultimate Warrior t shirt.

Lebron is passive aggressive with his trolling. Dray drops the passive and goes full tilt aggression.

I'm starting to love Draymond. Doesn't beat around the bush. I like it.

 

[Heatles84]

How high are you to think he wouldn't?

He would not have gotten there every year, obviously, but if you simply took the Cavs/Heat roster and placed them in the West they would have been a top 3 team every single year since 2009. Those Heat teams would have made it through the West at least twice in 4 tries. When they got there, they would have won easily.

You are forgetting, they still have to beat the best West squad once they get to the Finals to get a ring. LeBron has done that 3 times.

Yeah I don't get the whole Lebron wouldn't have any rings if he played in the West. His road would be harder, but come the Finals it'd be a cake walk. Hell, he'd have a better Finals record if anything. Reason why Lebron would have titles in the West, is because 3 times he's beaten the best team to come out of the Western conference. I like to bag on him as just as much as anyone. Could you make the argument that he wouldn't have gone to the Finals 7 straight times if he played in the West? Certainly. But to say he wouldn't have any championships is asinine.

 

[Heatles84]

Would that team beat the Warriors? Or the Spurs?

Probably the Spurs, given that they've beaten the Spurs in a best-of-7 before without Lebron. Again, that's placing Lebron on a random roster for hypothetically the last several years. In that case, the Warriors we know now do not exist and we have the Thunder and Spurs as the road blocks. Which, we know Lebron has had a pretty impressive record against that the former.

You're high out of your mind if you don't think the Warriors would stand a chance. They certainly would.
