It’s as if there is a difference between good and bad 3’s
-
While the Rockets were missing 27 straight the Warriors went 13 for 23
The juxtaposition of the Rockets throwing bricks and Steph lighting it up was striking
I hadn't seen so many bricks since Brad Stevens played in the Final Four. Or Brad Stevens in Game 7 Saturday
Whats the deal with Stevens and masonry?
Put another brick in the wall.
Cavs in 7. -
For those of you that think that this is even a good era for the NBA, seek a fucking labotomy. Stat. All it is now, is a 3 pt shooting contest. And when a team can’t hit those. There is no plan B as exhibited by Boston and Houston. Fuck even Golden State plays shit offense. They just have 2 guys that can make any shot when they are on.
The 80s-90s NBA was exciting and as good as it gets. There’s little exciting about the NBA now sans when Curry gets hot. -

Jerry Schicting and Danny Ainge couldn't play in the developmental league today
The NBA has always had a one or two good teams at a time and everyone else sucks
No different today -
Houston was working GS inside with Capela. Then GS made a couple buckets in a row in the 3rd, the Roockets panicked, and just started chucking up bricks in desperation even though the game was close. Which led to the game not being close and the Warriors winning rather easily.

This is halfway right. They had to start chucking 3's after going to the rim was basically turned into a suicide attempt with the whistles in the pockets. Problem is they didnt make any of them. If they hit 4 out of the 27 they missed, they win the game.CuntWaffle said:Houston was working GS inside with Capela.

And if it wasn't for LeBron you wouldnt be watching now and you know it.
Put away your hate of all things Oregon for once before hitting send. -
Fucking advanced stats guy weighs in.jhfstyle24 said:Tequilla the reason you are FS for that is because does this Cavs roster, based on the way they played this year, do jack shit?
PG: George Hill
SG: JR Smith
SF: Jeff Green
PF: Kevin Love
C: Tristan Thompson
Let's go look at basketball reference.
The ONLY players on that ENTIRE fucking team outside of LeBron who had more than a minute positive BPM were Larry Nance (2.6) and Kevin Love (1.3). Korver and Zizic did a little bit.
For reference, the PHOENIX FUCKING SUNS had FOUR of those players - Derrick Jones, Greg Monroe, Alex Len, and Devin Booker.
Let's look at the playoffs. In the playoffs, the Cavs had 3 players with positive BPM - LeBron, Nance, and Korver.
I'm sorry, but a team where your best player is Larry fucking Nance is winning 20 games maximum. Playoff Kevin Love has been one of the worst players in the league (-3 BPM). The Cavs starting lineup shown above has ONE positive player from the playoffs: Tristan Thompson.
If you think that team clears 25 wins, fuck off. The Cavs without LeBron are statistically the worst team in the entire fucking NBA by a good amount. That's why it is impressive.
If LeBron's supporting cast sucks, one only has to look at one person as to why. LeBron did what He was supposed to do, get to the NBA Finals. This year has certainly been his most impressive playoff run. But Cleveland, at LeBron's request, revamped the roster twice since last years NBA Finals. So if they suck.... It's all his fault. -
The Rockets shot 42 3's a game. I'm guessing a review of any one of their 60+ wins wouldn't meet your definition.Tequilla said:It’s as if there is a difference between good and bad 3’s

Embedded Finals Pole:
What will happen first?
Draymond will punch Durant
Durant will punch Kerr

If so, then you have no clue what I’m talking about -
Jordan leaves Bulls - Win 55 games next season.
Lebron leaves Cavs - Win 19 games next season.
Lebron played GM no doubt, but he's always been running up hill.
You think Jordan wouldn't call his shots over Brown, Blatt, and Lue? -
There's no changing the narrative now, facts or context or anything. People have decided to hate him and that's that.Doogles said:Jordan leaves Bulls - Win 55 games next season.

I don’t hate Lebron. I just don’t think he’s the GOAT. MJ is.

It amuses me that people aren’t able to make the connection between those not prepared to crown LBJ and not recognizing his talent.
-
as an extremely casual and ignorant basketball watcher i think 3-chucking nba is kind of gay what would happen if they made dunks worth 3

LOL Supreme Leader Kim already did this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5470285/North-Korea-RULES-basketball.html

It’s not recognizing his talent when he puts up one of the greatest series of all time and all you want to twlk about is how Boston blew it.Tequilla said:It amuses me that people aren’t able to make the connection between those not prepared to crown LBJ and not recognizing his talent.
Fuck, I’ve never liked LeBron either but I’m not blind. Dudes fucking great. -
The hate has died down and reasonable people can disagree on any ranking. The hate used to be out of control not that it really matters anyway. But @Tequilla is wrong which is always a good point to makePurpleThrobber said:I don’t hate Lebron. I just don’t think he’s the GOAT. MJ is.
