Best fans in the world

I do like the guys f lebron shirt though

 

[Olympus]

Lowry not shooting higher than 40% all series.

Doubting if he can break 30.

 

[MVP]

100% serious when i ask this....

if the Warriors just finished the year with the best record in NBA history...why would Cleveland need any excuses if they got washed? they underdogs to start with

Because last year after they lost, all anybody wanted to say was well...if Lebron had a healthy Kyrie and Love. Well looks like that's going to be the case now. So he's getting slandered. 2-5 in the finals deserves slander.

 

[shoeking2102]

This is a prime example of why you can't look at the end results and use them as a end all / be all sort of thing and why context matters when you evaluate players playoff success.

The Raptors on the surface made the ECF, but their best players still stunk basically the entire playoffs. They were a blown call away from almost losing to a 7th seed, barely got by a depleted miami team, and are getting ran by a team that was only 1 game ahead of them in the standings this season.

even if they dont go 16-0 cavs winning it all will be huge. the cleveland curse will finally be broken.

i think both will be equally remembered. to win 73 and then not complete it with a title will be a huge letdown

A legit answer

 

[noblekane]

a healthy kyrie is going to be a problem in this years finals.

i agree. people seem to be overlooking that

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

We really gonna roll with this 'lebron is supposed to be a loser so it's cool' talk again?

73 was the other season. Cavs are undefeated so far in this one. How are they underdogs?

 

[spacedoodoo]

2 teams from the west that can seriously contend for a title and 1 from the east. 

but please keep convincing yourselves that the west is so deep 

 

[dat dude chris]

So if you all think half the league blows, and 5th-15th of the West didn't have a 45 win team this year....how could 2 weeks ago there be no chance of the NBA being watered down?

Which is it?

They only lookin at the top 3 teams in the West cuz after them theyre kinda trash especially record wise to the East

 

[...So]

a healthy kyrie is going to be a problem in this years finals.

i agree. people seem to be overlooking that

Most definitely.

He gets to play by a different set of rules that no other all time great has. Nobody else is allowed or afforded the excuses he has every single year.

 

[dragicon]

Just realized there is playoff hockey on.... What was I doing watching this ecf garbage?

the west is not deep its top heavy. healthy clippers , san antonio , okc , cleveland and gs are the top 5 teams in the League. thats not debatable.

sounds like he's the sidney crosby of the NBA



am i rite, @dmxfury? am i rite???

 

[dat dude chris]

Clippers?

They cool but they wasnt winning no chip

 

[WASHED KING]

Exactly...after the top 3 the West was trash. GS had an easier road to the wcf than Cleveland did to the ECF. Houston, Portland <<<<<< Detroit, Atlanta

I hate Lebron as much as the next man but the only people that make excuses for him are his fans.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Clippers?

They cool but they wasnt winning no chip

 san antonio aint winning no chip but im just saying those are the top 5 teams in the L. that wasnt in any order

clev, gs , sas , clippers and okc.  top 5 teams in the L and 4 of them are in the west. it is what it is. 

 

[dat dude chris]

Real talk Detroit coulda prob beat ATL, Portland & Houston in a series of 7

 

[a-friend]

Clippers?

They cool but they wasnt winning no chip

They'd have given GSW the business in the 2nd round just like Portland did.

Only diff is Clippers would have won 2 or 3 or 4 of those games.

Clippers are a contender, were I mean.

clippers not contending for a title. 

san antonio had a great regular season but they weren't going to defeat the warriors in the WCF. Couldn't even get past the 2nd round man.

Thunder are the only squad with a legit shot to knock off the warriors, and even they aren't most likely going to. 

It's really only 2-3 teams that have a real shot of winning it all. The league is weak.

 

[clarkkent415]

Portland would win two against Cavs, so serious.
