2002 Lakers vs Nets was probably the most lopsided I remember.

last year was really tough to watch.

 

[ViciousDS]

wat

I was dying of laughter so hard when that happened. I thought a bug got in his eye hahaha

 

[bigmit3737]

Lebron is a very muscular dude and he runs hard up and down the court So he's going to tired out faster than smaller guards.
And I'm sure being in the post doesn't help.

I think the coach has to come up with a better plan just than isolation for Lebron.
The center was doing damage so maybe utilize him more? Shumpert needs to step up more with scoring. I would like to use Lebron running things from the post more but I wonder if can't do that all game do to fatigue.

I thought the Warriors didn't play well yesterday, so they are going to most likely play much better.

Not really.

Kawhi's play alone was a thing of beauty.

 

[Gully State]

wat

Angels in the backcourt..


Did someone ask him about what happened there?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

lol at James Jones face.

 

[alr1ght]

Did someone ask him about what happened there?

Klay backhand slapped him.

it was tough to watch as a heat fan, hah. We were competitive in the first game till crampgate and won the second game.

then game 2 happened and it seemed to still be within reach.

and then we got wrecked for 3 straight games.

 

[J2 Cool]

When asked about the Warriors' defensive strategy of letting him score to prevent him from becoming a passer, LeBron said: "You don't 'let' me have 40. I go get 40. It's not like they're getting out of the way."

On espn's front page haha.

Even as a fan of the Lakers, I don't think I have ever seen a moment more deserving of the term SWAG than Iverson breaking Tyronn Lue's ankles, hitting the jumper and then stepping over him.

That shit was...WOW!

Was an amazing moment. Iverson's career best moment.

 

[Slangblade]

I agree. Miami lost by average of 15 points a game. They weren't really competitive even with the best player in the world.

 

[Gigglepoo]

On espn's front page haha.

A few years ago, Rudy Gay hoisted 38 shots and a reporter asked LeBron how many points he'd average with that many attempts 60-70 was his answer.

Oh, the long-gone days of efficient LeBron. Last season was so long ago.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Klay backhand slapped him.

That's not the normal reaction to be hit in the face/eye.

 

[alr1ght]

That's not the normal reaction to be hit in the face/eye.

It is in the modern NBA.

 

[BronsonLee]

For every ten Shumpert face flops, there's a JR Smith haymaker backfist coming your way

One way to measure overall scoring efficiency is to use true shooting percentage, which is like field goal percentage but takes into account field goals, 3-pointers and free throws to give an overall measure of how efficiently a player got his points. LeBron's true shooting percentage for Game 1 was 51.9 percent, which is:

The lowest by any player in a 40-point game this season (there have been 57 40-point games in the regular season and playoffs). The average true shooting percentage for a player who scored 40 points in a game this season is 70 percent.

The second-lowest by LeBron in any of his 68 career 40-point games. His average true shooting percentage across his 40-point games is 69 percent, so this was well below his own average scoring efficiency in such games.

The third-lowest by any player in a 40-point playoff game over the last 30 postseasons (there have been 220 such games). The average true shooting percentage across these games is about 67 percent, and James now has two of the six lowest marks (both with the Cavs, and both in losses).

Efficiency matters.

Lebron missed a contested shot to win.

That's not a choke.

I did think Curry getting his shit pushed in with a clear path to the basket was at best a brain fart. At worst a choke.

 

[Fjordson]

I don't get why Curry didn't go reverse at the end. Got too cute with it thinking Kyrie was too far back I guess.

His performance in OT was a choke.

Naw, this was:

He should have dribbled under the basket all the way to the opposite corner and shot an off balanced three.

 

[BronsonLee]

Knowing Curry, that shit would've went in

Basically if I see the quick ass release from Curry, it's going in. It's so damn fast

 

[Trey]

I don't get why Curry didn't go reverse at the end. Got too cute with it thinking Kyrie was too far back I guess.

Half of it is Kyrie making a great defensive play, and the other half is that Curry can't really dunk so he does these slow ass layups instead.

Kyrie can't really bang either, but his layups are so much quicker and tighter.

Cavs announce Kyrie Irving has a fractured L kneecap and will have season-ending surgery.

Am I allowed to quote my own avatar?

Anyway Dubs in 4 and I'm honestly struggling to find a reason to watch the rest of this series now

 

[StoopKid]

Might as well get the champ shirts ready.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Cavs announce Kyrie Irving has a fractured L kneecap and will have season-ending surgery.

Welp.

I am bummed. I wanted a 7 game series, seeing as this is the last basketball we get for the year.

Speedy recovery, Uncle Drew.

 

[thehypocrite]

Ouch @ Irving. Next man up dellevadova enters the fray.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Am I allowed to quote my own avatar?

hahaha why not

 

[MickeyPhree]

Sorry to see him hurt. Hope he comes back healthy. Fuck the cavs though.

Damn, good luck with the surgery Kyrie.

Yeah, but he just like went up for a regular layup. Coulda done something like this http://www.nba.com/video/games/warriors/2015/03/14/0021400981-nyk-gsw-play8.nba/ would have actually been easier than the shot in that clip

edit: holy fuck @ Kyrie's injury. Sad.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Cleveland sports is cursed. Get swept in 07 and then now in 2015.

 

[zychi]

Poor Kyrie. Get well soon man.

 

[RoKKeR]

Wow, that really sucks. Too bad because the game was so good yesterday.

Looks like we are only getting 3 or 4 more games now.

 

[Jag]

Ah crap. Not like this. Get better Uncle Drew.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Cavs announce Kyrie Irving has a fractured L kneecap and will have season-ending surgery.

 

[LiK]

Lebron needs to step it up and score 60 points per game now.

 

[zychi]

Efficiency matters.

I have been using this stat with my friends to prove Bron is a stat padder for awhile now. It amazes me how know one ever shows this stuff

 

[BigJonsson]

Congrats to the Warriors

 

[friskykillface]

bummer

Injured Kevin Love, Varajo and now Irving , maybe Cleveland is cursed, nobody got injured in Miami while James was there

 

[GamerSoul]

sad to hear :/ damn

[sunshine and gasoline]

Damn. Sucks to see Kyrie's injury will take him out for the season. :/

 

[SliceSabre]
