NBA 2016-2017 Season |OT| What do the Liberty Bell and Ben Simmons have in Common?
- Thread starter Jarate
- Start date
I'm not certain, but Lebron was rightfully mad after that George 3 because Thompson wouldn't guard on the switch again. Then Lue thought it was a good idea to take Tristan by the arm and start yelling for Lebron to go over to them after that clip, which Lebron obviously wasn't having.

It was hard to tell. Near the end of his rant you could see LeBron slightly behind him facing the bench. But LeBron definitely stoked the flames though.

Went to my first Cavs game tonight and it was pretty epic. Seeing Lebron in person is mesmerizing. He's unbelievable. And Paul George is amazing. I thought the Cavs looked really good in stretches. The defense wasn't terrible, Indy hit some tough shots.
TT fucking sucks
And Kevin Love was literally ass until I said "Fuck Kevin Love"
LeBron is running the entire team by himself
Come playoffs Ty Lue shouldn't even coach I feel like LeBron can do a better job himself
Wiz/GS, the Wizard commentators are almost like anti bias right now. I think they've talked more how about GS plays and complimented them then talking about the Wiz.
Like, before it became a blowout.
Why don't teams make subs during OT anyway?
Same reason you will never see an elite player subbed out in a close game down the stretch in the 4th. The Cavs have enough problems running an offense without LeBron on the floor in the first 3 quarters when defense is still slack. That becomes magnified when defensive intensity picks up in the final minutes of a tight game.

The main issue with us playing Troy Williams was that he couldn't really shoot 3s, based off the impressions r/rockets had of him when they scouted him after the signing.
He's 5-7 right now from the 3, 18 total points. We just found our solution to the bench small forward spot.
We were having trouble having to go between three guard bench lineups, splitting Dekker's minutes between the 3 and 4, etc. This is awesome. We found another 3 and D wing.

I mean in general, not even elite players.
Like, outside of a little offense-defense with under 30 seconds, I don't see many subs. Even if a starter didn't finish the game cause a scrub was hot or whatever, they won't come back in for OT1 or OT2. Weird

Uh.... no... you can shit on fitz ( I'm certainly not a fan of him... I give him much respect for his professionalism given that his wife passed away at the start of the season) but JB is one of the best in the business. The man has used decades of warriors basketball as a teaching tool.
Case in point

Doesn't help that his A area is the worst shot possible, just inside the line. I wish he showed the shammgod instead for his favorite move.

I wish Greg Papa was back doing play by play with JB but unfortunately that ship has sailed long ago

Fuuuuck
At least we found his replacement tonight?
But fuuuuck, right as we find some depth at the forward position. Fuuuuck

Yeah, I'm reeeaaallly happy about the Troy Williams signing right now.
3 to 4 weeks means he can still return, say, around the 2nd round, right?
As long as Ryno comes back healthy, we can manage. Plus, based off tonight, Troy looked better at defending wings on the perimeter.

Man, I love them, and all the nick-names they manage to come up with always make me laugh, and I love Clyde Drexler and Calvin Murphy's crazy suits, but I would never with a straight face recommend the Rockets broadcast to a non-Rockets fan

Honestly, if he doesn't need to play....just let him be throughout the first round....maybe.
I don't know how the fellow Warriors fans feel, though.
Personally in favor of just bringing him back as soon as he's comfortable and fully healthy. Right now they're doing great without him, but long term the team is built to have KD in there. I'd rather get him reintegrated and build the chemistry back up now as opposed to deep in the playoffs.
Local media is leaning towards him coming back next weekend to play the last three games of the season.
It was a little bit of a slap I thought but nothing justifies pushing someone who's jumping straight in the air. That's how people get hurt. Not cool.
And the timeout at the end lol

I think he just wanted a three. It's not like he gets many chances to take one and he's on a team with Curry, he wanted to steph. Which I suppose could be taken as 'sticking it to' the Wizards, but I don't think that was on JaVale's mind at all.
That last sentence kinda solidifies my point though (nvm looks like you edited it). Seemed to me like it was "we just scored 140 points, let's see who ELSE can hit a three?"
Bad form. I get the shot clock was down but when was the last time he even ATTEMPTED a three?
I mean it's not a huge deal but not a shining example of sportsmanship or professionalism either.

Well, that's my point when will he ever get the chance to attempt a three? They say he practices them too.
Practice them any other time before the final shot in a game when you just routed the other team?
Him shooting that three in that moment doesn't add anything to their team. They don't need him to be good at threes lol
Holy shit lol

Lol. Whatever I didn't mean to make this a debate. The idea that if he takes a step forward and shoots a two and it be no big deal is silly. I guess he should of used those last seconds to try and get a lob set up..
Like I said it's not a huge deal but I can see how an opposing team could perceive it that way especially after a big loss like that. Their reaction was shit though.

He shot a 3 in game a few months ago. He missed it.
I'm not really sure what the big deal was. It's not like it was Curry or Klay trying to add one to the stat sheet. It was fucking Javale McGee. Certainly no reason to push him for the foul.
he had to either shoot it or take the 24 second violation. and him shooting a very low risk, low percentage shot from the outside corner was probably preferable to a nasty dunk on someone inside.
