2015 NBA Playoffs Thread: The Zebras are Loose

[Hurricane Season]

Curry is gonna choke away the finals in spectacular fashion.  Cavs in 5.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

yes yes. the chucking absolutely needs to stop.

I said this during our series and got laughed at, "every shot Steph takes is a good one" as someone said. There shot selection is horrible.

I mean you look at them in the moment and they make these incredible shots and everyone is awed, but I'm sure if you really took a step back and look at the rate they hit those shots they would be very very poor in comparison to an actual good shot like a three four ball swing for a open shot. The shots we are talking about, Curry and Thompson could get those off whenever they want, whether that is 18 seconds left on the shot clock or 2 seconds left.

It's gotten even worse this series because Golden State is tight and they are taking the shots they can easily get and not necessarily working to get good shots. They are passing the ball 70 fewer times this series per game than they did in their other three series. They are tight.

I really can't stand MJ loyalists who won't even have the MJ/LeBron conversation. They're just like Christian extremists. Their answers could just as well be, "I just know!"

Delly is playing himself into defensive 2nd team next year

They don't have the conversation because LeBron isn't in his class yet. Regular season stat padding doesn't make someone the GOAT

 

[elcheato]

You have said previously that LeBron is the GM, the coach, and the star player of the Cavs, a wounded team that he has carried into the finals, and is challenging a historically great team (statistically), and now you're downplaying him by calling him a regular season stat padder. 

 

[BwareDWare94]

Michael Jordan was a member of a historically stacked team that rolled through everybody. It could be argued that LeBron has taken the lesser team to the Finals 5 out of 6 times. He overcame that one time against San Antonio. I highly doubt MJ could have won more of LeBon's Finals appearances if you swapped the two.

Historically stacked? Pippen was the only other teammate Jordan had that made an ASG in Chicago as far as I know. Historically stacked is something the Heat did with three future hall-of-famers collaborating together to try and win championships. On top of that, LeBron's string of Finals in a row has come in a historically weak Eastern Conference, in an NBA with perhaps more overall talent but a league that you cry over and over is far too skewed for the superstars from an officiating perspective.

Anyways, LeBron is a loser

He's the coach and GM of that team because he's the best player in the league and is given that power.
 
There's nothing impressive about making the Finals in the East.
 
We're through 2 games.

 

[elcheato]

lol

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Heat were "challenging" the Spurs through 2 games last year. And then Games 3 4 and 5 happened

 

[elcheato]

I was laughing at your non objective takes and dismissing the fact that you tried to take away credit from other people involved with the Cavs by propping up LeBron, and then quickly called him a loser.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He's worthy of the power. Look where Cleveland was without him. A million more rigged lotteries couldn't make them more relevant than LeBron has in the past year.
 
But I think he's a loser both when it comes to the Finals and just life in general
