Somebody really hates Lefonda. LMAO


We were talking about Rose, Kyrie, then Lefonda, then Jordan. We didn't kill anything, you just left to beat off. Stop lying.




Sorry!!! Dam

Scottie Pippen checked Magic and Barkley and even guarded Ewing at times...


But he couldn't handle a woman like Lefonda. LMAO


You have no clue how much your hard-on for Lefonda is clouding your brain.


Lebron is the best player NBA yes. But let's look at who's #2... Kevin Durant would get destroyed in the old NBA. Hammered in the paint. That's the difference in the game today versus the 80's/90's.

Pippen never ran into an athlete like LeBron.. i mean cmon- Lebron is bigger, faster, stronger, quicker, can shoot a 3 or post up...he can do anything and everything at 270lbs 6 foot 8..its not even fair- Pippen would die a slow painful death at the hands of Lebron no question

 

[WiggyRuss]

There is an offseason thread for that. You do realize that right? Heck you could even create your own thread if you want to talk about Lebron. This is a team USA thread and you guys killed it by talking who isn't even on the roster this year

who are the PF's on the team going to be...that is my mainconcern for team usa

Davis and Cousins are def the centers and thats a damn strong combo

PF is the place where i am concerned since Love, Aldridge, Griffen all pulled out.....who is even there? I saw Faried was there? is that a joke? Milsap is ok i guess....

what other PFs are there competing?

 

[WiggyRuss]

i mean PG is STACKEd...probably the deepest position in the league...

Rose, Curry, Kyrie, Lillard, Wall, - pick any of those guys and you are more than fine....and curry, lillard and kyrie can all play some SG...all though they are all kinda small and would have problems on D there....

the wings is where it gets dicey for team USA in my opinion...what do u guys think? center and PG are all good to go and SG is ok...

This x100 because its happening in quite a few threads lately. Make new topics if you want to discuss stuff. It's not that hard.

I don't think that report yesterday was accurate about Cousins not making the roster.

Well they can always use KD & Parsons as stretch 4's. They also have Milsap, Faried, & Plumlee competing for roster spots who can all play PF

i have looked all over ESPN, SI and yahoo sports and cannot find a freaking roster of the guys eligible!!! its driving mecrazy

is it really just milsap and faried at PF? really?

I think starting wise itll be something like

Rose -Irving
Curry -Harden
Durant - Parsons
?
Davis -Cousins

i think those 8 are pretty set....and i guess people think Korver will make it as well and be what a backup 2 and 3?

PF really scares me for team USA.....and the fact they dont have a good defensive point guard or shooting guard worries me as well...

losing george really sucks as he would have been HUGE playing D on the wing...

now who plays D on the wing? thats a major hole..... too bad my boy wiggins still needs about 18 months to make an impact on D in a substantial way

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I don't think that report yesterday was accurate about Cousins not making the roster.

He's the only true Center unless you count Drummond.

MEcca who do u think makes it?

Davis, Durant are locks

Harden, Rose, Curry, are close to locks....thats 5 of 12

That and he's Canadian.

I guess we'll see if Klay is the defender some think he can be.

 

[bksballer89]

Not many PF avilable. Most of the guys are either SF or Centers and those guys will probably have to play some minutes at PF

 

[WiggyRuss]

That and he's Canadian.

I guess we'll see if Klay is the defender some think he can be.

haha...whoops on the canadien part! lol, i knew that

true...so you think Klay will be there too?

so
PG- Curry, Rose
SG- Harden, KThompson
SF- Durant, Parsons
PF- Milsap, ?
C- Davis, Cousins

3 more spots to whom?-- and im not completely convinced k thompson makes it anyway...i think korver could make it over him andprob will

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Davis, Durant are locks

Harden, Rose, Curry, are close to locks....thats 5 of 12

The 5 you mentioned and Cousins, Thompson, Manimal, DeRozan, Parsons, Milsap........

The last spot goes to Kyrie, Lillard or Beal.

Derozan could be the odd man out because they really need another big.

But, they almost have to take Manimal, Milsap and even Parsons who can play pf in a pinch.

Lefonda is not quicker, he's not smarter and Lefonda would be pulling up for jumpers all day. Because that's what Lefonda does when the pressure comes and it's crunch time.


And Scottie would bring the pressure. I'm not saying Scottie would shut him down, but he would do better than Kwahni this year and Paul George last year. Lefonda wouldn't own him. No way.


Hard-ons are ok, but while drinking they can lead to over stimulation.. especially for Cleveland fans.

Yup.


Add Manimal and we see it the same.

The reason I think Parsons and Klay make it is because they can play multiple positions.

I would say Beal/DeRozan, Korver, & Kyrie

 

[SJ76]

Pretty sure Magic was a big, quick guy. Not as fast as Lefonda, but way smarter and totally in control.


If you can guard Magic Johnson, you can guard anyone.


Lebron is the best of a weak ass NBA era.


I'm not impressed. The best player is perhaps the biggest baby ever in the NBA.
