2018 NBA Playoffs Thread

When did the Heat have 2 top 3 players?
2011 maybe but definitely not for a few seasons

Wade was probably a top 5 player before lebron got there. Lets stop trying to discredit Bron's teammates to prop that douche up.

 

[hennessy beach]

so you have to be a playmaker to be the best in the nba.
durant is a better scorer and defender then LeBron.
I guess shaq was never the best player in the nba then.

a play maker that scores more points than KD...yes

People just have a problem with THIS team being dominant . All the nuance in the world for the lack of parity that existed from the same few teams in history..

People hate every dominant team if it's not their team. This team isn't even more hated than the Heatles. How quickly people forget.

2011 and 2012

KD and Kobe were better than Wade in 2012.
CP3 and Dwight too.

You’re talking about the impact of one guy on offense man your scale isn’t accounting for the 90-100+ possessions where Dallas doesn’t have the ball.... and Kobe/LeBron/KD/etc are coming at them

Then you’re saying these guys don’t have to bring it every night by guarding those guys eh

No I’m talking about total value. Dirk’s total value on the court versus the second best player on that Mavs team.

Just the yea before dudes were saying Wade was better than Bean in 2010. He didn't fall off until 13.

Damn, those things got some girth.

The sheep going ham on these in the yezzy thread . U should see the Balenciaga ones

 

[BIG FISH]

His numbers in 12 were almost exactly the same as 13 lmao.

Pause.

Watching these clips on Twitter, my god was belli getting cooked last night

Pause.

Werent you guys saying this morning about how the NFL thread gets weird? This is like the 5th dude on dude reference today.....

 

[amitt5504]

Belli got on/off rating splits like Jabari

Honestly believe Fultz and TLC would be better plays than TJ and Marco. Shooting is nice but if you can't defend then whats the point. I at least know with Fultz and TLC, they can at least play some defense

 

[Lovetohate3000]

a play maker that scores more points than KD...yes

negative . Point still remains . And if you want to go that route curry has had the biggest impact on a teams offense more then anyone in the L since 2015 . Curry and LeBron since 2015 is splitting hairs. Pick which one you want . I'll take curry

Just a simple observation.

DRose as well
I feel like people forget how fast Wade fell off.

But a team that hasn’t won in 40 years has a completely unforeseen rise, luck and brief dominance and some dudes act like they can’t watch anymore

zero problem with the warriors being dominant

just not a fan of what the league has become.. i want to see competition.. i hated those shaq/kobe/lakers teams but they still had to go against couple teams in the west

shhh in 2000, they had to go to 7 with the blazers (coming back from down double digits with only couple mins left) and '02 they had to go 7 with the kings (with questionable calls thrown in)

i enjoyed watched the warriors win their title in '15 cause i wanted bron to lose.. i enjoyed the '16 playoffs because that depth you spoke of was on display from round 1

now, i'll be impressed if any team wins 2 games in a series vs the warriors

 

[getback]

Looks like dude got String Thing implanted in his calves

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Wade fell off so hard a year after LeBron left Miami , the heat was in the second round of the offs

 

[100027]

Gotta disagree a little bit here. Dirk lowwwwkey had an awful game in the Conference Finals and a couple rough games in the Finals (he struggled mightily in the clincher), but the Mavs won all three of those games anyway. I’m not trying to slander the guy at all because overall in the playoff run he was awesome, and I was glad to see him get his recognition as an elite player and get the monkey off his back from ‘06 and ‘07, but I’m just saying it wasn’t a situation where if he struggled they had no chance. They stepped up big time on both ends on the nights he didn’t have it. Every championship team has to have that, and the Mavs delivered.

Would you agree that the Mavs had the biggest gap between A and B player on a championship team since at least '03?

Not that much of a "fall off" there though. Obviously stats went down due to not being the primary ball handler when bron got there.
