Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Chin all seriousness, I'll take the Cavs next year

    I don't know ... I might be willing to bet the field here ...

    I really see similarities between the 87 and 88 seasons for Bird and where LBJ is right now ... both definitely great at their respective stages of their career but you could start seeing some cracks

    First ever player to average triple double in finals history. This is the best he's ever been.

    Highly disagree ... stats aren't everything

    Tequilla had a bit of a good point for once.

    In the high tempo era of the NBA, it's much easier to get a triple double because there are so many more possessions.

    Having said that, LeBron's chinevitable decline is probably 2-3 years away.

    Agree the magic of "triple double" isn't what it once was.

    Disagree that somehow LeBron wasn't at his best this series. He played great, minus the end of Game 3.

    Golden State's just better.

    With all due respect this is fucking stupid. It's always been easier to get a triple double in a high tempo game. Just because it took you this long to figure that out doesn't take away from Lebron. You gonna comb through the record books to see which triple doubles were played at a high pace and don't count?

    Michael Jordan had a run of 7 straight triple doubles and 10 in 11 games. I'll bet you the pace of those games is about the same as these Finals. Funny that 30 fucking years went by and no one ever discounted that MJ stat but now all of the sudden pace matters so much.

    Dude the 90s in general were much slower than today and MJ never played a team in the Finals that plays near as fast as GS does save for maybe the Lakers though IIRC they were slowing down by then.

    Can't speak for Boobs but I've been discounting Oscar's triple double season because of pace of play for years. Pace makes a huge difference in counting stats.

    I don't think the 4-1 series score reflected the passion on the floor. The Cavs aren't as far back as it seems and the Warriors aren't as far ahead.

    Lebron the GM doesn't need to panic. He needs to get better wing shooters who can perform on the big stage.

    It is sad as a fan that last night didn't make it 3-2 but there are no hypotheticals, Game 3 was what it was.

    It's a long wait for next June.

    Agree Cleveland doesn't need to panic. I think they will though. Love was probably gone DAO anyway but he sealed it by not showing up offensively last night.

    Cleveland's big issue isn't needing more shooters, it's needing more defenders. They can survive with Irving being the weak link defensively. They can't survive with James and Shumpert being the only defenders on the team. They need to add multiple 3 and D guys so they don't lose shooting while improving the defense. Not sure they can pull it off.

    Pemmy for your thoughts on All Star Tristan Thompson?
