So, Lebron > Jordan because he's been the last loser more times?

...umm, no.

And where did I EVER say he was better than Jordan?

My point is that using the 6-0 TEAM Finals record is a piss poor way to evaluate the talent of individuals.

Jordan lost in earlier rounds because his teams weren't good enough/the opponent was better.
James lost in the Finals because his teams weren't good enough/the opponent was better.

why not he has done it in back to back game almost.

And Curry has shot like shit in back to back games, so what's the difference?

Come on, I know you hate Lebron and the Cavs but at least be fair.

 

[Shanemansj13]

what game are you talking about because the last game he missed 17 of his last 20 shots. No way he was over 50% maybe in the 1st Q and 2ndQ. That is why they play 4Q and sometimes OT. its still part of the game.

Plus he is 2-28(again not 100%) under 3:30 min in game 1 and game 2. One of his baskets was a lay up in Game 1 OT when the game was over.

In Game 1

...and using getting to the Finals in a weak as shit East is a better evaluation tool?

You don't have to agree with my methods. But, my opinion is just that..mine.

Not used to folks being reasonable and civil here.

don't worry, we'll TRY not to let it happen again...

Cousin works a bar a block away for the Q and Jacobs, I remember for opening day this year every place was packed wall to wall

Cleveland sure does drink

Fuck yes we do.

Group of friends and I go every couple years to a ranch in the middle of Texas to fish, shoot guns, eat steaks and drink. The first time we went, the guys that run the ranch questioned our ability to drink the amount of beer/liquor we asked to have on hand - they didn't think we could do it over a weekend. We sent them out to restock late Saturday afternoon.

They told us they'd had all kinds of what they thought were hard-drinking cowboys stay at the ranch, but us skinny fucks from Ohio would put them all down.

I've been good. Summer's been fun so far. How about you?

Where's Mick?

School, work..kids.

Rinse and repeat...lol

I don't know where Mick is.

Have you heard from him?

I need to seend him an email.

Which bar, by the way? I've likely been there.

Thank you.

It's.....unnatural.

Did you hear anything about Russell's Laker workout?

Do you think he's really a consideration?

Okafor is up for you guys today.

I read that Towns is not working out...for anyone.

Seems odd, if true.

* don't want to get accused about going off topic...again*

So, Go Cavs!

[trojanfan12]

Has that really happened though?

Phoenix was still paying him last year, plus he made nice coin in China, before finishing the year here.
This is the first season where he has no guaranteed cash.

I think his main problem has been his play and what role he will fill on the teams that he has tried out for.

The Heat is a pretty no nonsense bunch.
Locker room full of championship minded pros.
He was welcomed by James, Wade, UD and the rest of them and by Riley now 3 times.

No other Heat player, ever, has been signed here 3 times.

How much of a problem can he really have been?

Never said he was a problem. I have no doubt that he's a likeable guy. No way teams would keep giving him shots if he was a troublemaker or an asshole (as Wiggy suggested).

I don't know if his career not matching his obvious talent is due to not wanting to give up weed or not. I just know that if it's even a remote possibility and/or he was told that he needed to stop and didn't, that's pretty stupid.

I'm with you on Beasley. I like the guy too. I remember when there were brief rumors about the Lakers possibly having interest, I was all for it. If memory serves, I offered to buy you a Lakers hat if they did pick him up.

Here is more of a break down. LBJ 2nd half stats for both games

Game 1:
3Q- 5 for 10
4th Q- 4 for 8
OT- 1 for 4

Game 2:
3Q- 2 for 10
4th Q- 2 for 8
OT- 0 for 3

2nd half - 12-43 27% shooting in the 2nd half. 1 for 7 in OT and 4 missed game winners. Yes he carries the team in the 1st half but doesn't play well in the 2nd half. This is why I really don't think he is doing anything special at this point.

The bottom of the East is easier than the West. Nobody disputes that.
Heat was 2-2 against the West, and the Cavs are giving the Warriors all they can handle and possibly more, so the top is as even as even can be.

I'm just not sure why losing in round 1 is better than losing in round 4.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

1-True. But, a lot of them spend time on a certain thread where everyvbody's comments get liked to make it the most popular thread on the Hoop. I think that lowers the effectiveness of the positive ratings.

2-Completely out of control. Couldn't keep FN BS off this website.

3-Ditto. Ex


Do you check your email?

Which one?

I linked my kids phone to my gmail account and kept getting bombarded by their Playstore updates.

So, I abandoned ship and just use Rocketmail.

It's the same name...just add rocketmail.com

Game 1 actually looks pretty damn good, considering the attention he's getting. Game 2 second half was rough... but the refs were really swallowing the whistles. Both sides were shooting like crap.

I never said that.

I simply said that " Jordan's 6-0 makes him better than Lebron ".

You attached all that other stuff to the argument.

 

[trojanfan12]

Wiggy? mixed up? perish forbid...

In before purguy says Wiggy not being mixed up is rarer than Lebron hitting a clutch shot!!
