Series Thread: 2nd Round: LA Lakers vs Houston Rockets

[trojanfan12]

Jefe101 was horrible. I don't think I ever hated a Lakers fan more in my life. Well him and Sman

Sman was pretty funny with his Lebron steroid trolls though.

I don't know if he found them in the deep dark corners of the internet or just created them himself.

But some of those "articles" he used to post were hilarious.

Jefe was great lol and I'm sure I can see your side of it, but I never knew he trolled your boards....

Honestly didn't recall you even being a Heat fan until LBJ went there. I do recall you attending College in NY or something like that...

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah, but I thought he was trolling before LBJ left for South Beach in 2010 (?) Maybe not, but that's when all that shit really hit the fan...

Who was that cat that had that Heat Haters Club thread that transferred from there to here? Something like Cliff (????)

lol

Yep. He was a Bulls fan. Had Cliff from Cheers in his avy. Can't remember his full username though.

Good gawd, Sman....

He was the troll icon, other trolls looked up to...

He had more threads on the Cleveland boards, than the Cavs fans had themselves. Sman = Spam-man...

Nah i was. I don't think I started posting on CBS NBA boards until 2008

He didn't. Was just a pain in the ass on the general NBA board.

Guess what thread I just bumped.

Some coaches have reps for not being good. Isn't he one of those?

And then some - but He is a good coach when you don't have a complete team - and Houston has a great team for a 8 man rotation. My opinion is an 8 man rotation will never be enough to win a championship even though D'antoni has come close a few times. You need the Robert Horry's and Derek Fisher's and Rick Fox's to make some miracle shots here and there.

Caruso is useless against Houston

Less useless than McGee and Howard

 

[tlance]

Would be smart of D'Antoni to quit with his regular season substitution pattern. Stop having Harden out the first few minutes of the 4th.

Especially with House out and a short bench.

We are watching greatness with LeBron. MJ wasn't this good at this age.

I have to admit...

I have been nervous for Laker fans at multiple points in turn since the restart.

LeBron was absolutely fantastic tonight. Have not seen him defend like that in years.

Lakers trending back toward beigg N.Y. co-favorites in my eyes.

That LA WCF is going to be epic assuming neither team stumbles.

Not everything is a choke. People here use the word choke way too often and incorrectly. IMO, choke requires you to have a large lead and blowing it. Losing a game that was tied/you were up 2 going to the 4th isn't close to being a choke.

And I think it is even overused in that sense.

Choking to me is missing easy plays in crunch time. Houston didn’t have any easy plays because the Laker defense in the 4th was spectacular.

 

[Black Adam]

Need a coach with a real half court offense when freestyle basketball starts to struggle

yep. that street ball they were paying in the 4th quarter ain't gonna cut it...

 

[Black Adam]

lol

True. But to be fair, Lakers fans and Heat fans were trolling each other pretty hard back then. No one was innocent.

I beg your pardon, sir...

Agree. Definitely overused. Sometimes teams do choke. But I think true choking is actually somewhat rare.
