Lol, Max Kellerman saying Lebron should go to the Spurs

[random25]

During those Lakers run, you still could've forward to them playing the Kings or Spurs

I'm talking about player acquisitions.

Warriors-Spurs were also supposed to be great until you know what happened.

 

[Frozenprince]

I very much enjoyed the Warriors Jazz series

I very much look forward ti seeing the warriors play good basketball

That's what I look forward to above all else

I for one, am looking forward the most next year to seeing how KAT develops with Thibs in year dos.

And finally trading away Porzingas so I can free myself of the burden that is Knicks fandom.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Make moves ?!? lol classic

The same management and ownership that let Harden walk .

These assumptions are ridiculous

That's…uhh, not an assumption lol

Chris Paul goes to the Bucks,Giannis develops even a passable shot, and they can beat em.

Sneaky talented team.

Naw, the Bucks can't do shit in full court sets. CP3 would definitely help them but their half court play is fucking bad and you need to be able to be effective in the 5 on 5 game to beat a team like the Warriors. They are like 2-3 years away from being legit threats to anyone.

Spurs should remain old. That's their trademark.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Yeah, KD hasn't earned shit. Just a bum along for the ride, riding Zaza's coat tails to a ring.

Correct, he left his chance in OK to be self made and instead flew to GS to join others who were. And all he has to show for it is a stare down at Riahna and LeBron, the latter who won a ring last year by starting from scratch.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Assuming that OKC would make beneficial roster moves

To be fair, 2 of those 4th quarters were blowouts.

why are you like this in these threads and not anywhere else

Starting from scratch? Who started from scratch??? Certainly not Cleveland.

I get that you're mad, but you're talking crazy bruh.

Starting from scratch = joining a younger super team with two all stars, because his old team started to age.

[Loki]

MJ is the best basketball player I've ever seen. Having said that, he won when he had the better roster than his opponent. He lost when his opponent had the better roster than him. This is why the LeBron mysticism following the Durant signing was never particularly compelling. You can't "will your team to victory" when the other guys are simply better than you. That's not how basketball works.

Some teams Jordan beat that had equally/more talented rosters:

'91 Pistons
'92 Blazers
'93 Cavs, '93 Suns
'96 Magic, Sonics
'97 Hawks
'98 Pacers

Lebron has zero rings won by starting from scratch lmao. The Warriors are a starting from scratch team way more than anywhere Lebron played after his first stint in Cleveland.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Fine if you really wanna have this discussion


Kobe wouldn't have one ring if not for Shaq and Pau

And I like Kobe

Pau Gasol dragged them fuckers to a win

you need at least 5 players on a team. more if you want your starters to rest.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Chris Paul goes to the Bucks,Giannis develops even a passable shot, and they can beat em.

Sneaky talented team.

I wish.

You could never be a competitive arhlete with that attitude.

Why would any other team in contention even attempt to play next season?

The heat looked scary too, even after that first finals loss

Because they have a competitive spirit I don't have and are getting paid to express it?

The Heat where a million times worse beyond the 3rd man and that's before you account for Wade's decline.

 

[Wedzi]

.

Who the hell puts Kobe in the top 4 players of all time lol

 

[phanphare]

They were up 3-1 on the best regular season team in history.

I hate this narrative that OKC was this horrible situation for him. When he and Russ were both healthy, they were a top 3 squad in the league. And they were set to make moves during the offseason before he dipped.

I don't begrudge the guy joining GS, but tell the whole story.

yeah, got bumped in the playoffs

that's what I said

 

[Gotdatmoney]

We aren't seriously having a discussion about Kobe being better than Lebron are we?

Gotta find whatever way possible to just be piss miserable when watching the games.

Don't know how you can watch a guy go 48 a night and drop a triple double every night and still be salty.

Idiots

I can't tell you how much I wish I could see NBA-GAF when Basketball Reasons happened.

It was a dark time.

 

[TTG]

boop

Every little bit counts.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

The hate is so real, it makes this win all the more satisfying. Many people showing their colors, not as NBA fans, but LeBron fans.

Not as NBA fans...but LeBron fans

What an odd complaint and one impossible to quantify

 

[TylerD]

Legit LOLing at any idiot saying that the Cavs still have a chance in this series. "All they have to do is win 4 games against the team that added the 2nd best player in the league after breaking the regular season win record last season! It could totally happen guys!

Give me a fucking break.

Was that Westbrook or Kyrie out there after that KD 3? Fucking horrendous possession.

 

[Avalanche]

Man that last minute must've been brutal for Cavs fans.

when it comes to basketball, i've been a soulless shell since the third quarter of game 1 of the WCF

How did you infer that pic means Miracle has Kobe on Mount Rushmore? All I see in that pic is that Kobe is having a laugh at LeBron's expense.

 

[Jarmel]

This really was a great game as a whole though.

 

[Wedzi]

Lebron has zero rings won by starting from scratch lmao. The Warriors are a starting from scratch team way more than anywhere Lebron played after his first stint in Cleveland.

How many players were on Miami's roster when he joined in 2010 lol and Cleveland was abysmal before he rejoined. People shouldn't downplay Warriors because Kevin Durant joined but they also should downplay Lebron either

 

[DasPenguin]

Who the hell puts Kobe in the top 4 players of all time lol

Who the hell puts Kobe or James in top two? Everyone was saying that Kobe was either 1 or 2 when he was still playing. Everything happening right now is the greatest ever. No matter how diluted the talent pool is and no matter how little defense is played.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I need memes. Cmon yall

 

[Kettch]

Klay is one of the best 1 on 1 defenders in the league, and he's also one of the best shooters in the league. He's not a playmaker though. I actually don't think he would do well trying to carry a team as the #1 option. He's just the perfect supporting player.

Either Lebron's been in blowouts, or was exhausted by the end of the 4th to be fair. But still didn't make the right play in the biggest moments tonight, biggest game.

His block was amazing last year, but that game also became a standstill in the final minutes before Kyrie's iso broke it.

Damn Adam Silver and the league office needs to review this play before game 4:

Who wants to get the #arrestLebron hashtag rolling?

Haha, no. His leg barely rose. If you're comparing it to Draymond, Draymond brought it all the way up to a 90 degree kick.

I know it's cool to not like Lebron and stuff but implying Kobe is anywhere in Lebron's realm as a player is laughable. Anyone who thinks this...lol
