KG over the course of a career 325M good call

Kobe's gonna be piiiiiissed.

Bc everyone else knows the truth lol. You can keep the Lebron hate going, but it gets old pretty quick. Keep reaching

What does Lebron hate have to do with you being a Heat fan until this past season?

 

[Black Adam]

still play 30 games against the West lol

so by YOUR logic you COULD go 0-30 against the west and 52-0 against the east and STILL make the playoffs more than likely with winning one less game than last season...

just a hypothetical, mind you, but color me roundly underwhelmed...

It's called diversion.

Hahaha but, he's the only other player besides MJ to make $30 mil in a single season.

Where does this 30-3 that Wiggy and Shane keep talking about come from? The Cavs went 24-9 over the last 33 games of the season.

In those last 33 games, they lost to the Pacers (twice), Bulls, Rockets, Hawks, Heat, Nets, and the Celtics (twice).

The actual stat is 33 - 3 to finish the season... when LeBron, Love, and Kyrie all play.

They only lost 9 games after LeBron came back in the lineup on Jan 15th.... the majority of those losses coming with one or more of the 'big 3' resting.

Ok so the difference is you're only counting games when all three of them are in the lineup? Not the last 33 games period.

Yep. Somewhere along the line that important conditional clause got dropped. Without it, its an incorrect stat.

Ahhhh...that makes a big difference. But, couldn't it also be used as a measuring stick to the number of games they missed during the season?

Definitely. I mean... most of them were near the end of the season when their seed was basically locked up. The missed games were considered at the time to be more about resting for the playoffs than about the specific "injury" cited... but you never really know.

I agree. What's funny is LBJ was the one who probably got the least rest and the only one left standing when it was said and done.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yeah, but Boston making the playoffs last year was just being the biggest loser. They might actually be a real playoff team this year

Cav's purposely tanked 2 games to assure themselves of a series with a hand picked Celts.

I've often heard players/coaches say to not do that.
Just play the games and let it all sort itself out.

Celts we're going to very outclassed talent wise, but figured to be scrappy.
That scrappiness cost the Cavs Love for the playoffs.

Karma?

 

[Heatles84]

Don't they though. I can't wait for the Lakers to get rid of all of that scrap iron they have laying around in Staples. Fucking eyesores.

I was going to start a thread over in the Lakers board. No one likes double digit titles anymore. You guys should just start at zero so Cavs fans could feel better.

Tired.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LAD busting 'nads....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I missed some fun it looks like.

 

[Heatles84]

they traded him for a player they subsequently released, lol.

wow you really just have no clue how the cap works and what the implications of the cap are for trades...its fine- not a lot of people follow that stuff- but you look stupid when you say that they value Lee when the truth is they would have gotten rid of him for nothing- and got rid of him for LESS than nothing in that they just released the player they got for him and have to eat his (wallaces) contract.

your ignorant of how the cap works and how it effects trades- thats fine- just dont hold yourself out like you know whats going on because you end up looking foolish

There's an irony joke in there....somewhere.

 

[Heatles84]

GOOD! that team was the best in basketball after they made their moves- and pushed the Warriors to 6 games despite missing 3 huge pieces! Im ecstatic they are bringing back the same team plus a couple minor additions as that team has young players that are still improving- and played absolutely amazing basketball together!

30-3 after the trades when LeBron/Love/Kyrie played together.

Good luck to the rest of the league

The Spurs say thank you.
