NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[Shanemansj13]

i'm not even arguing that part. talk to your homer over the rainbow...

I didn't say you were lol

 

[Black Adam]

It really doesn't matter, 10 years from now people will only remember who won

Also i still stand by the fact that we would prob be up 2-0 vs gs had irving and love played last year....gs was much better this year and had hc....Irving exposed curry and irving will only get better well curry probably peaked

can't argue that...

we STILL got Kings fans who say the Lakers robbed THEM 14 years after the fact, but i'm guessing 95% of the fans out there could GIVE a rat's ass...

I'll take this with a grain of salt coming from a guy who doesn't know much about basketball.

I'm not sure you're grasping what our exchange here has been. Here're the Cliffs Notes:

LAD: Cavs fans are hypocrites because they use Irving and Love being injured last Finals as an excuse, but they don't want to hear about the Warriors shooting poorly in these Finals as an excuse.

Slinky: "Not playing well" and "not playing at all" really aren't the same thing.

LAD: Are you saying the Warriors didn't play at all?

Slinky: No, I'm saying the two excuses really aren't comparable.

LAD: So you're saying the Warriors shot well?

Slinky: I'm not saying anything about the Warriors. I'm saying the comparison between players being injured and players not playing well is not a good one.

LAD: That's your opinion, but being injured and not playing well aren't the same thing so you shouldn't compare them.

Slinky: <scratches head>

Im coming in late to this but what it sounds like here is Lebron was smarter than Green.

I have to admit that is probably true...GS surely didn't see that move coming!

I actually know a kings fan who took that so hard lol

 

[Black Adam]

You call it crooked, others call it tactical. There was a really good player but loved his cheap shots. Why not goad him into one so he is out for a game. Crooked to me is when you cheat, Lebron didnt cheat, he just knew how to get Green to do something dumb. To me that is all on Green.

eh I guess you kinda got me there...

CALCULATED was the word I used before. but yeah, I see your point with saying crooked...

This hasn't been LAD's best showing on the boards, that's for sure.

I agree it could be looked at as disrespectful but IMO I dont have much respect for a guy who's winning move is to kick or hit guys in the nuts. I have zero problem with Lebron treating Green like he did because I dont think Green deserved much respect for his kind of play.

and i'm not excusing Green for his play up to that point. would've just been seen differently if it wasn't for LeBron initiating the whole thing...

that was my only point...

 

[LAD]

Never, ever, one time did I say that I knew they would do it. You're making that part up 100%.

You can think what you want from me. Losing faith when you're team is down 3-1 is pretty normal. I never thought it was 100% over, but I wasn't optimistic. If that somehow makes me have "no morals", well I suppose you're entitled to that absurd opinion. I think you're being a complete and total crybaby because your heros proved to be mortal, and you're grasping at straws to try and make the pain go away. It won't help. Nothing you can say will change the fact the Cavs earned this title. They had more heart, and they wanted it more. Plain and simple.

LOL well it is my opinion of you and I don't care if you don't agree with it.

There is no pain on my end. I watch sports as a past time. GS losing has changed NOTHING in my everyday life. As a matter of fact I didn't even pay for my tickets to go to game 7. Now paying for those tickets and then them losing would've been painful.

Finally, I don't even personally know ANY of GS' players so I can tell you without a doubt NONE of them are my heroes. I'm not a 10 year old boy. Having said that, it sounds like maybe LBJ is your hero?

Maybe. But if it was Kobe or Durant it would have been the same. IMO this is all on Green no matter what Lebron did that was within the rules.

I would really hope you weren't this much of a petty crybaby before GS lost. Yikes.

I hear ya, and I can respect your point of view...

Is she 8 years old bc she has the reading comprehension of an 8 year old

If you're not an angry GS fan or Lebron/CLE hater, this is obvious.

You're right I thought you were saying GS didn't play at all- so I did misunderstand.

 

[Shanemansj13]

There was a best? You fooled me lol

 

[LAD]

Of course you shouldn't have lost faith being down 3-1, you were the defending champions with the unanimous MVP that set the regular season record, and still had most of the remaining games in that series at home. If it was the year before and it's a completely different scenario and were down 3-1, would you really have the same faith that is easy to say.

I think even with all of the points you made it was still easy for some to count GS out because OKC was really playing well up to that point. But my point was I didn't let that fact creep in, and remembered what type of team GS really is.

 

[Black Adam]

If you're not an angry GS fan or Lebron/CLE hater, this is obvious.

what's OBVIOUS is you're an apologist...

just admit it...

It's all good.
