Official NBA thread

So he sucked against Dallas. s*** happens. Miami isn't the first team they surprised last spring. They got hot and played excellent defense.

 

LeBron did pretty good in the 2007 finals. According to your logic, that should at least nullify 2011.

 

Uhhh, no, he got owned by the Spurs, and the Cavs got swept.

 

Shot under 40%. Nuff said.

So much hate in this thread.

[redsoxrules]

Speaking of hate , Kobe is calling out a lot of teamates for poor play.

I can see a big change in LA next year

[Emmz]

There are a lot of Lebron James ballwashers who are deluded into thinking he's some sort of MJ 2.0.

 

He's a great player, he will go down as probably one of the top 10 players of all time if he keeps this up, but he had to join a super trio to get the job done, if he gets the job done.

 

I can't really respect that. It doesn't take away from anything he's accomplished as a player, but even as a player, he hasn't even come close to being as overpowering as Jordan was in the 80s and 90s.

 

Kobe has been better than Lebron, and Jordan was always the best in basketball from his rookie season until his last title.

I dropped the little appreciation I had for the Lakers after they traded Fisher. It's like if the Sox traded away Varitek for Asmus to save a few bucks, It doesn't even improve them much. I smell a late dagger by Fish tonight.

[Emmz]

I would LOVE to see that.

[redsoxrules]

If Westbrook and Durant keep playing like they have been in this past series they will tough to beat

[Emmz]

The Thunder will be tough to beat for a long time. Really, they have powerhouse for years to come written all over them. Durant and Westbrook are as good a 1-2 as Wade and Lebron offensively. Just imagine if Durant filled out, how overpowering he'd become. Durant is hella scrawny for a 6'10 athlete.

I'm not a spurs fan or a thunder hater, but San Antonio is playing pretty tough right now...8-0 in the playoffs and havent really been tested yet

The Spurs have more wins in the playoffs than the Bobkittens did in the regular season!

Dexter Pittman is a bitch, the NBA better suspend him for that s*** he pulled.

[Emmz]

That Bobcats team probably could have lost to a good amount of collegiate teams, hell, I bet some of the better collegiate teams could have swept them in a 7 game playoff series.

As much as I hate to say it, but I think Kentucky could beat them a few gms ( Ohio state fan here...) I still give the series 4-3 to the bobcats though... Yeah, ky has the best college team, a team full of 1st rd draft picks, but so do the bobcats ( team full of 1st rd draft picks ) as does every team in the NBA.. Pretty much it's a team full of potential ( even the great anthony Davis is not a "sure thing" ) yeah his defense is great, but he needs to put on 25 lbs minimum ( Dwight Howard will hurt that poor kid ) and Kidd-gilchrest ( I think will have the better overall career ) has just plain " not shown up " in some gms...I'll take Experience over potential any day, and I think we all know Charlotte made sure they would end up with the best chance to get Davis in the draft half-way into the season

[ellsburyforMVP]

Wade is officially awful. Heat need to trade him this summer.

 

Looks like wade is gonna save this season for lebron... 17-24...39 pts 8 reb so far this

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Saving their season? Lol if you say so.

hahaha the Bobcats would murder Kentucky. They have 7 first round picks, and the best collegiate player from two years ago. Men against boys, Bobcats would beat Kentucky by 40.

Don't forget MJ played with Pippen, who was one of the best at the time, and LBJ is definitely better than Kobe. When he gets some hardware it will be more obvious.

But at the sme time, when Jordan retired the 1st time ( although pippen had a great season ) the bulls were a pretty average/ slightly below average team...... I'm not slighting pippen in the least, just saying I think mike could of won a couple rings w/o Scottie , but Scottie couldn't of won without mj

I was actually being nice saying the wildcats would win a few, but I definitely don't think they would lose by 40

[ellsburyforMVP]

Saving their season? Lol if you say so.

 

Well, ever since you opened your mouth about trading him ( still laughing at you about that one ) WADE has been the MVP of that team......

[User Name]

No he hasn't. Have you watched LBJ at all this year? I mean i understand that suggesting the Heat trade Wade is kinda silly, but the hyperbole is not needed.

DJ White was an All-American at Indiana, and he sits on the Bobcats bench. Kentucky doesn't have the depth, or even the strength to go up against the Bobcats. They lose by 40 every time.

[NCPack2889]

Spurs are going to win in 5.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Pretty clear that EllsburyforMVP doesn't like LBJ. One game D Wade goes off and swears that he is the team's savior. You weren't high on him when he had like a 5 point game no to long ago.

I'm just not on lebron's nuts..... 1 gm? The other day wade made 11 straight shots when they needed someone to step up.......

Haters gonna hate.

[ellsburyforMVP]

??? So I'm a hater for pretty much just exploiting the idiot that said the heat should trade wade?? I'm obviously pointing out that wade has had 1 horrible gm and the kid is saying trade him? But when he steps up and scores 41 last night and 36 or whatever the other and I bring it to this kid's attention , I'm a hater? Lol
