This should likely be another Gentlemans sweep ( I expect a game where the Cavs start knocking down an extreme amount of threes).

Also what made this even more satisfying is that Morey's analytic strategy of either take a three or a lay up got FULLY exposed in a game 7 because it didn't account for real life things such as fatigue & momentum. Also PJ Tucker & Eric Gordon had some of the better performances i've seen in a series from role players recently.. With that said would Hou offer that package in a S&T for PG?

I really hope he goes back to six when he does leave the Cavs.
 
you took it all out of context. but very few NTers understand context. whether you blame LBJ or not isnt even the discussion.

the discussion is, if he gets all the blame, then he has to get all the credit. and if he gets some of the credit, he only deserves some of the blame. whether you blame him or not, i couldnt give a rats *** about.

his legacy is sealed to me win or lose. he's the 2nd best player to ever play. to others, maybe you, he's much much lower. but again, that was never the discussion
When you continuously throw your teammates under the bus then you will be blamed
 
:lol: He couldn't even get the Cavs to trade their bum *** Brooklyn pick for DeAndre Jordan this season.
Why leverage your future for a guy who won't commit to you past 2 years? So yes HE IS DICTATED EVERY TEAM HE'S BEEN ON. You can't have it both ways. News flash players aren't lining up to be stuck living in Cleveland not knowing if Lebron will go ring chasing again.
 
I feel like I’m in a vortex. I can’t believe the NBA played us like this. What type of lame **** was that last night with officiating? Like honestly

They were letting Tucker get away with reaching fouls. He was hooking the ballhandler and then swiping with his other hand...

The Warriors just don’t care.. They no longer have Barnes panicking in the corner when they’re making a comeback... you more wide open bricks when you’re down by six and trying to make a run

Curry is going to need to leave his shoe company.. how many of his injuries is because of the shoes.. He has no lateral quickness and his explosiveness is seriously limited

What the hell are you talking about? You're saying that LeBron runs the team, but at the same time saying the Cavs are right for not giving in to his request of trading the pick. Is he running the team or not?
 
All I got is that this Warriors team is no where near unbeatable as those in the past. Still a dynasty, but their window might be much smaller than we thought.

Chicago saved them being Fed Ex'ing Jordan Bell to them for nothing. That might be the biggest move in hindsight

Their window will open right back up if they fill out their bench better. Vince Carter would be my top priority this offseason just so Iggy could be put on the Manu Ginobli regular season minutes restriction plan.

The refs chose the most inopportune time for the Rockets to swallow their whistles. They made it extremely hard for them while they were performing well and kept them cold once their shot selection went to hell. Warriors didn’t even execute a masterful game plan or anything. They just hit shots down the stretch that Houston couldn’t match at all. And Curry’s ankles have made a decent recovery because he was penetrating the lanes pretty decent. Wish James Harden did a little more of that
 
No way this Warriors team is anytype of Dynasty. Way too many asterisks on their run. Officially the most unlikeable team in the league
 
case in point.

but if he wins...then by your standards, he has to be praised.
I don't think anyone would argue that Lebron doesn't get praised. I think what often happens is people confuse two different arguments regarding Bron. They confuse arguments about his greatness and being THE greatest. Bron is held to the standard Jordan set not anyone else except maybe Kobe. When he's criticized it's compared to all time greats not just hof players.
 
I’ll be shocked if the Cavs can avoid getting swept honestly. The Cavs 3rd quarter ineptitude combined with the Warriors 3rd quarter runs will be murder on live television. Lebron yelling at these boys during defensive breakdowns are about to look really bad :{
