Pippen = total bitch




Pippen had a meltdown 1 night no doubt. He wanted the ball and pulled a TO. But Phil Jackson brought his team together. Pippen didn't leave and go to another team did he?


Pippen Defended Magic and Barkley quite well.


Lefonda can't even get by the 2nd year kid on San Antonio.. What's his name? LMAO But he's gonna destroy Pippen like Tony Allen?


Cleveland fans...

dude has 4 mvps! and two titles, numerous all defensive teams, scoring title, already at 29 is a top 10 player that ever lived...chiiiilll bra

If you are refering to Jordan gambling and getting 4 hours sleep, then going out and destroying Starks, LJ, Ewing and company... Yes even with the flu or tired, he wanted the ball and could hit a clutch shot at the buzzer.


Jordan got bruised by the bad boys for years, learned from the Celtics, beat the Lakers and tortured the Knicks. And he did it with a bad ass defender from Arkansas. Don't ever under estimate Scottie Pippen. He was a defensive beast. In a time where the NBA was way more physical than it is now and he wasn't a big dude. He was stupid quick with his hands and feet.

Bron jjust doesnt have the mental toughness to ever be Jordan...in reality hes a lot better of a human being than jordan....not that that is hard....

in the twitter/social media era jordan would have faced a lot of scrutiny for his lifestyle but it probably would have just pissed him off and made him better---but jordan did come around at the EXACT---- and i mean EXACT perfect time to become the phenomenon he was

Agreed.

His mentality is what keeps him from possibly being the GOAT.

Funny you should mention crying.

Marc Stein just reported that Kyrie was blubbering like a 7 year old girl after the George injury.

He said he actually collapsed into his Father's arms and started balling.

In fairness, that was a tough thing to watch.

he was probably saying thank god i just signed a 90M deal and started crying for joy, lol..

MECCA!!! LYNX got it back on track after a couple of injuries mid-season!!! Looking good again!

u think Rose is ever the player he once was for any extended period of time? honest question....

In a weak ass, prima donna league. And Lefonda got checked by a 2nd year SF on San Antonio who I cant even remember what his name, but he would OWN Pippen. Riiiiight

Russ, do you think team USA will carry 3 pg's?

Rose and Steph are in if they still want to play after watching George go down and Harden is another guy that can be a primary ball handler.

If they take 3, It's gotta be Kyrie unless they were already set on taking Dame.

 

[SJ76]

I have no idea. We haven't seen Rose play for 2 years really. But he looked awfully good tonight. He needs to get in game shape= 4 quarters. Honestly, he looked better if not the same D Rose.


But he better take ass his home.

I actually see a possible history repeating itself in Wiggins to LeBron as scottie to mj- obviously there are differences but the jist COULD be similar....

Wiggins is a fucking SUPER FREAK rick james style athlete that loves playing defense- and is a great kid and works extremely hard....that is a rare combination- usually guys with his talent and athleticism dont focus on D- if he learned under Lebron and was told to not worry a bout his offense early on and just to become the ebst defender and transition player he could become.....it would be scary to see where he ended up--hed like kawhi leonard look like kyle korver on D

i dunno- with Paul going down they might need to add another wing....kyrie playedoff the ball a lot and so did lillard tonight- so they can play some 2--but they absolutely cant guard gangly wing players....

itll be interesting to see....coach k is gonna keep KI i am just about positive of that

as great an athlete as Pippen was- and he used that ridiculous athleticism to become a great defensive player----LeBron is 10 times the athlete Pippen was and is bigger, stronger, faster, smarter and more talented...he would eat pippen for breakfast and shit him out for lunch

I'm glad.

Somebody has to give the Mercury a challenge.

Might as well be the Champs.

you didn't watch that video. you would change your tune.




moving on... Wiggins isn't ready mentally and physically. If Cleveland wants to win now, they will trade Wiggins for a post player. He's not ready to come in and sit and watch Kyrie play dribble mania and Lefonda take a lot of shots. That's not his role and it will cause more issues.


You are gonna need a helluva coach to put all of this together. Phil can do it, Pat Riley can do it.. I don't who is coaching Cleveland now, but they have a lot to do. Even the HEAT had issues in year 1.


If Kyrie and Lefonda could be unselfish it would be silly. But that's not what they do.

 

[WiggyRuss]

and dude...LeBron shot 57% in the Finals...he was hardly the problem...typically if you let a guy shoot 57% against you- especially one that doesnt play with their back to the basket- you are doing a REAL shitty job- i mean REAL shitty- now circumstance and who Lebron is you haveto give Kawhi credit for containing lebron.....but you cannot anywhere in yourright mind say a guy beat lebron up when the dude shot 57% for the series.....57% shooting is unfucking real

good God man- LEBron is universally hailed as the most unselfish superstar in the entire NBA with the ball- sometimes to the pointwhere people say he is TOO unselfish- and Kyrie is 22 and played with a bunch of kids the last couple years!

you gotta take a chill pill- just because Kyrie has actually played the last 2 years and would make Drose look like Eric Snow if they played a game of horse together doesnt mean u gotta lose perspective!

Kawhi is gonna be a monster too, imo....

But, Wiggins looks special.

Doesn't matter if he's running the break with Irving and Bron or Rubio and Lavine.

It's gonna be Phi-Slamma-jamma when he gets into the open court.

Eric Snow



harsh.

 

[SJ76]

Individual numbers mean jack.1 guy shoots 57%... JOY hmmmm sounds like when he was in Cleveland and everyone just stood around and watched right?




sounds a little familiar huh.


Lefonda will never understand the team game. Him and Kyrie are gonna be great 1 on 1, but watch the rest of that team get bored and stand around too!
