I get that the Curry call was the right call - but JFC - is the NBA really evolving into a game where we are giving 3 free throws to half-court 'IQ' heaves? I would've preferred a 'bad' call on the floor than just giving GS 3 points. [Reply]

LeBron was already getting tired around the 3-4 minute mark of the 2nd quarter. He won't be able to do this all game sadly.

That's been the best troll yet. Not shutting down Durant on a team of all-stars is an indictment against LeBron. :-) [Reply]

I mean - yeah! Realistic!
Jordan shot 100% from the field and shut down all of 5 the players on the court. [Reply]

You are a ****ing lunatic.
And since you are a dumb mother ****ing idiot, and probably 25 and never watched MJ ... 30s MJ played like Kobe (just way ****ing better). He was a volume scorer who relied on 18 foot fadeaways.
The MJ shot (that Kobe stole) is literally the worst shot in basketball now. It is a stupid ****ing shot that is analytically dead.
I assume MJ, in today's game, would have adapted and became a better 3 point shooter and stuck to slashing like LeBron - but MJ (although underrated as a passer), is nowhere close to LeBron when it comes to facilitating.
In fact, LeBron needs to stop relying on Kyrie at all in this series - the game keeps going to shit every time he tries to give Kyrie isolation possessions. Just give LeBron the ball, set a few screens, and let him make the right play on each possession like he does better than anyone in the history of the NBA.
I grew up watching MJ, which is why I know how good he is.
Who gives a shit about assists? How did that 'facilitating' work for Lebron when he led the 2011 series in assists?
Scoring determines who is the GOAT, and there was never a better scorer than Jordan
I give a shit about the right basketball play. Kyrie Irving makes very few 'right basketball plays', yet he's an elite scorer. Yay.
And of course I will not argue that LeBron is a better scorer than Michael Fucking Jordan. But, in today's NBA, if LeBron wanted to, at the cost of making good basketball plays, he could average 50 PPG. Any time. [Reply]

I guess you weren't watching the last two NBA Finals - you know, when LeBron was going 45/15/10 every game.
I mean, I've been lurking this thread and I've concluded that you are just retarded. I'm hoping you're the next victim in this serial killer thing. [Reply]
This team ruins the NBA. I will count Durant as having 0 titles, and he has ruined the NBA for me. This is so stupid. I watched 2 periods of hockey last night, don't even like hockey, and it's at least entertaining.
This is just a joke. Durant joins 73 win Warriors. DUMB [Reply]
