2018 NBA Playoffs Thread

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?

I forgot I'm dealing with people educated in the public school system.

Why in the hell would you trade your future for a player who could leave after every year?

Why in the hell would I sign to play and live in that hell hole called Cleveland only for a Lebron to leave after a year?

The reason Wiggins isn't in Cleveland right now is strictly because of Lebron

Kyrie left strictly because of Lebron

Why is it hard to understand everything this guy does dictates what a GM can do. Bron wants it exactly this way don't be confused. While very smart from a personal standpoint it has negative effects from a team building perspective.

If my boys could get a game(should have been two), the Cavs ought to be able to eek out AT LEAST one.

Something o find baffling. Your star player is struggling to make 3s because all his 3s are contested stepback iso's off the dribble. Why don't you run plays for your sg to get open looks on catch and shoot just to get him going.

With CP3 out the last two games, I don’t understand how you create an open catch and shoot look for him with no playmakers.

I'm not a LeBron stand or anything but it's hard not to acknowledge that LeBron came into a piss poor franchise where the only thing they won was the lottery. There was no culture, everyone was always late for practice, nobody cared, they were basically the toon squad until LeBron came back and implement what he learned in Miami.

I hated the Wiggins/ Love trade at first, but it got them a chip and Wiggins is a huge disappointment.

That Kyrie trade hurt, but you can't blame that on LeBron, Kyrie is a weird dude.

That being said, there were a few power moves LeBron did that was short-sighted and is paying for now. Like the Tristan Thompson contract. He did have some mistakes, but he went into the second most incompetent franchise with a racist owner in an unattractive city and turned it around.

It wasn't just the last two games tho...it was the entire series and their play style. It did get em to win 3 games but still...

You don't necessarily need playmakers to run one or two plays. Ariza and Gordon are more than capable of running a similar play to when Steph hands the ball the Bell, runs to the corner, and gets it back for an open look.

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

Bruh stop it. Were there a couple missed calls yea...but those weren’t the deciding factors in the game. Houston couldn’t buy a bucket or get stops in the 2nd half. Can’t blame that on the refs.

They built a team around a 6man

Kobe is fraud MVP? you buggin!! I'm not a huge kobe fan. But I disagree kobe can pull of a game winner in game 7.

I don’t think those Steph Curry relocations are even plays, more like reads. Just something the warriors do.

Trash basketball...I hope Houston GM never wins a chip. ******* blog boy.

Homie what other game plan would have worked without Paul out there?

Nah bruh, the refs took Houston’s cushion away with points that would have helped sustain a run. Houston had a shooting night like that and only lost by 9 points. The poor shooting is only being emphasized so the league doesn’t look so blatant with its officiating. This isn’t an isolated incident either. Game 6 was also a **** show

Harden the real mr.unreliable

There’s a different between a couple missed calls and literally every time you drive to the rim. That’s what forced them into all those 3s late cause they felt driving was a lost cause. Combine that with the whistles on the other side of the floor, it directly impacted them. It’s like there were two Finals games on the way people are denying that.

Lebron is just that great.. Dan Gilbert had 7 seasons to build a championship team around Lebron what did he do instead.. Write a Cleveland is burning letter after he left..

Have to use the little power you do have as an NBA player.. especially as one of the three greatest players of all time

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Rockets really maxed out lou will with a beard lmao

 

[junglejim]

We are apparently on the refs lost the rockets the game steed again

People wanna talk about how the refs cost them the lead but dont want to talk about the lead being built when Klay was on the bench with 3 fouls 3 minutes into the first quarter.

Even when they were getting calls in the first and were in the bonus with 9 minutes left in the quarter, they were still jacking up ****** 3s instead of taking it to the rim. The refs didnt cause the Rockets not to drive, their reliance on the 3 ball did.

@leemelone wheres the reciepts?
