Watching the SAS/GSW. Was looking forward to the excitement machine but there's something oddly satisfying about watching GSW getting pumped at home. 4th quarter and they're down by 28.
Also watched some of the CLE/NY game. I know it's the Knicks but Lebron is looking very good.
-
ya I hope GSW looks human this year.. that was amazing last year but also draining (on them, and as a fan) lmao!! Also the fact that they have Durant now, makes me want to see them get beat more.. They are just too stacked. It's similar to the Lebron/Wade/Bosh effect.. but.. Lebron > *
Hoping to see Wade bring some magic to CHI-town.. Would love to see them go deep in teh playoffs.
I'm most excited to see Lebron, like usual. Just love that dude. :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Somebody call Ron Artest!!! ;D

ya seriously.. what a slob. hope he was removed from the stadium.

a longer clip

LMFAO

I prefer this one...

DIED. LMFAO!@$@!$O!@$O ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Seriously though, could Wade have had a better start in Chicago. I don't follow much sports media in the US but I'm not sure he's spoken about with the greats like he should be.

^^ SICK
also what's up with him dropping 3's all day now? seems like he's continuing where he left off from last year's playoffs. I like it.. if he starts taking more 3's and making them at a high percentage, man his game will open up even more.. way more lethal.. because every1 knows for damn sure he can penetrate/hid mid-range jumpers, now they have to worry about 3's? eek :F
ya he's spoken about in the highest regard.. he's considered a great already. but, he will elevate that even more if he can get chicago deep into the playoffs - which IMO he should be able to.
he hasn't lost a step.. and he's going to make Pat Riley see that all season long :D
-
Was watching lebron's stats in those first games: 23.4 points , 8.9 rebounds , 9.6 assists
Sure he will step off the gas on the way, but if he wanted he could become the only player after Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double for a whole season cumulative statistics.
Also, Harden : 28.7 points , 7.8 rebounds , 12.6 assists
Also , Westbrook : 31.8 points , 9.5 rebounds , 9.8 assists
Crazy performances!!!
-

ya i think westbrook has the best chance given his role on the Thunder now.. he's having an incredible season so far. He's on a mission to prove himself and probably wants to figure out how to beat GSW in the playoffs...... :lololol:
ever since GSW got Durant, every game I watch, deep down I hope they lose.. lmfao.
<- "hater" maybe.. or they are just too stacked. This is probably the feeling every1 had when Lebron went to the heat.
btw.. LEBRON.
-
Westbrook averaged a triple double for a month.. Apparently here's the list:
1. Oscar Robertson (7 months)
2. Wilt Chamberlain (2 months)
3. Russel Westbrook (1 month)
:wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:
-
Yup, lebron's and harden's numbers started falling a bit, while westbrook's increased, he is now at 10.5 rebounds and 11.3 assists per game, points still above 31, Sick!!!
-
klay thompson 60 points in 29 minutes..........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQaGX4-Sfvg
i remember Kobe had 60 by the end of the third quarter once (or more).. but I think Klay did it faster and had the ball much less.. apparently he had the ball for 89 seconds? wtf?
-
Kobe had 60 through 3 against the mavs and one other team iirc.
Crazy thing here is (kinda pro/con for both Kobe and Klay)...look how freaking open he is!!!! GSW are so lethal as a squad that SOMEONE is always open. I can see him having more nights like this because what are you going to do? Double him and let Steph or KD go off? Nope. Hes just going to run off screens and get back door slips. Too easy. Pro for the team aspect for sure. Kobe had to do his on double and triple teams which speaks volumes to Kobes skill set and mind set but good lord Klay was barely breathing hard at the end lol!
If the 89 seconds thing is true it just backs up how unselfish the Warriors really are. Thats dumb crazy.
-
Ok....stupid stats in here....

i was going to quote some stuff from the article but... people should just read the article. some crazy stats/info in there.
ya I remember when Kobe scored 60 by the third.. I think I had NBA League pass back then because I tore my calf playing basketball.. was addicted to basketball during that time. I remember Kobe went off, like ten+ 50+ pt games or something nutty. That's also when Arenas was on GSW? Wish he had stayed on GSW, they had a sick squad back then.
Klay's 60 with so much efficiency is just mind blowing.. He hit a few crazy difficult shots too tho, not everything was clean open.. especially that one turnaround 3 fading out of bounds lmao.
One of the best interviews i've seen too (that one moment).. Curry poors ice on him, interviewer asks him if that cooled him down, and he goes "Nope. Still hot." (/mic drop).
-
warriors are currently on pace to be the most offensively efficient team in history. i was a little bit of a durant skeptic, thinking that maybe he would gum up what was already a great machine. boy was i wrong.

It seems like they are clicking great lately, but i'm still worried about them come playoff time.
Last year it seemed GSW spent so much energy winning everything in the regular season, that come playoff time they looked pretty drained.. those Curry injuries didn't help much either. But they seemed like two different teams.
They have so many weapons now though - with the addition of Durant.. On paper this team looks like a lock for the 2016-2017 title.. but i dno, i'd still lean towards Cleveland.
Tangent:
I'd like to see OKC vs GSW in the playoffs ... I just want to see WB go nuts against Durant.
-
westbrook just got another triple double by halftime.......... this is insane.
-
also harden tonight, 53 points, 15 rebounds, 15 assists.. wtf?
first player in nba history to do that (50/15/15).

this season is great... and the heat won 13 straight (until yesterday). /poem ... I can't believe they are in the playoff hunt, pretty sick.
imagine passing Wilt on a list like that.. Passing Oscar would be unreal.

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/russell-westbrook-expands-his-mvp-case-with-historic-57-point-triple-double/
57 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists
insanity.
-
seriously anyone who votes for harden or anyone else is a lunatic. westbrook's going to have the first season-average triple double in 50 years (touch wood, but he doesn't have far to go) and he's dragging a garbage team into the playoffs.
MVP.
-
I gotta agree. While Hardens stat line is insane in its own right (Dudes a beast, lets be real). The most telling stat ive seen is this:
When Westbrook has a trip dub...the Thunders winning percentage is 80%. Without a Westbrook triple double... 33%. He is LITERALLY willing them to wins. The only other player with a similar stat is LeBron but Russ' numbers are overwhelming better. Not to mention idk how the cavs suck so bad without Bron seeing as they're still pretty loaded.
-
Oh, interesting fact of the day: Oscar didnt win MVP the year he averaged a triple double. That was the year Wilt averaged 50ppg/25rpg. But he didnt win MVP either. Bill Russell did while averaging something like 19 and 23.

ya i think about that every time i look at the east/west standings.
i'd be curious to see the outcome of east vs west playoffs "comparison" though, like, 1 vs 1's, 8 vs 8's.. who would win that? you'd automatically think: the west.. but dno. Come playoff time, the east usually holds its' own.
but ya, such shit records at playoff spot >= 6.
edit: actually if you look at the win pct of the bottom teams in the East/West, East doesn't look AS bad. But ya, every year, the East usually looks like crap compared to the West.

can't wait for thunder/rockets....... !!
sad the heat didn't make it in.. what a great season - to start off so badly, then get back to 500. Look forward to watching that team again next year, hope they can keep it together/build on it. James Johnson & Tyler Johnson are beasts .. (so is whiteside/dragic obviously).
also .. celtics #1 seed in the east? damn @ CLE. I imagine CLE will put it together now though, it's playoff time.
-
I'm worried for the Thunder. I just hope Russ can keep it going. Especially after being rested towards the end. Hope it doesn't ruin his momentum.
Yeah I see CLE putting the sword to the East now. Fingers crossed anyway.

i really love this dude.. So many (justifiable) comparisons to kG imho.
Milwaukee was the biggest story to me on Day 1, that team is just so young & explosive. I love watching Antetokounmpo (had to look this up lmfao).
The Cleveland/Indiana game was great. That's probably going to be tougher than the 2nd round for the cavs (if they get out of it) hah.. so, some good preparation.
But tonight 9 PM ET, ROCKETS/THUNDER. :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:
-
funny stuff.. so im watching the start of Hawks/Wizards game, and this sequence of events cracked me up:
- Milsap gets the ball, someone goes for a steal, he gets hit in the face (hard) & loses the ball, no call, but he recovers it.
- He gets hacked up a bit, throws it to Schroder
- Schroder shoots it, misses
- Milsap gets the rebound, gets hit in the face (hard) again
- Turns around to the ref to complain
- And loses his shoe...........
lmao.

Thon Maker indeed. Bucks were hot.
If Lillard does a floater over Green instead of trying to dunk on him they keep the momentum. That deep three was nuts though.
What's with the tech fouls for guys showing some emotion??? Seriously NBA. It's the finals.
PG is ridiculous. The shots he was hitting over Lebron...man.

that was such a fun game to watch, through 3 quarters.. both teams play so fast. Almost seems the Thunder are playing "too fast" at times though.
Harden put some DIRTY moves on people.
Bulls & Jazz stealing game 1 was surprising.. didn't expect that. :o
-
Celtics - Bulls will the series to watch for the 1st round DEFINITELY .... will be very intersting
ya definitely.
i'm hoping the bulls can take it. would love to see Wade help get them into the second round - because i'm a Wade fan, and because I want it to sting more for Riley. Sheeit.. i'd love to see the bulls can win the title this year.. 8|
-
RIP BOSTON. :o
BULLS v CAVS would be WTF ... unexpected plot twist to this season.
d-wade is still so damn good when it counts, and Butler is ballin`. Amazing that they could potentially sweep the #1 Celtics. I really hope we get to see Wade vs Lebron, that's just an awesome plot twist.
It looks like the 2nd round in the East playoff bracket will be easier than the first round (for the teams that come out of the 1/8 and 2/7 spots). So if CHI/CLE come out of there, there's a good chance we will see Lebron/Wade. "Wade" always figures out a way to beat Lebron in the regular season.. soo.. :ninja:
Enjoying the playoffs so far.. most games have been really good.

-
soo.. unRIP Boston because of Rondo's broken thumb.
Chicago looked awful tonight.
WB/Harden put on a show like usual.. great game. Harden should have gone for a two at the end though.. not sure why player's do that. It's pretty much guaranteed he'll get fouled or get a good shot attempt close to the basket, and give his team a chance to takeover in OT (they had the "momentum").
-
epic game 4 between SPURS / GRIZZLES .. what a game.
Kawhi went nuts in the 4th/OT.
-
terry stots is a fuckin idiot..... has been entire season.... u r team is up like 18 at home and u lose by 6.... call a timeout when the warriors are destroying u... but he doesn't.... he finally calls timeout when warriors go on like a 25 - 3 run and they are down by 3 or some shit
I missed the 4th.. I went to sleep when GSW was down big BUT, I expected to wakeup and see them with the W.
crazy
Indiana blowing their 25+ point lead at half time was also nuts.. these are the two defending nba conference champions, can't ever let the foot off the gas.
Conley Jr is very fun to watch.. really slick/fast handles & fun seeing a lefty. He made some horrible passes at the end of game 4, but he made it up with some massive shots.
-
THUNDER / ROCKETS GAME 4:
insane ending.. mistake of the year by OKC. After that incredible 4 point play by OKC which brought then within 1, they immediately give up a 3 point play to Nene/HOU.

GSW are destroying Portland. Oh wow. 45 points in the first.
-
lol ^
GSW are destroying Portland. Oh wow. 45 points in the first.
ya and now they are going to get some good rest before facing either UTA/LAC which may go 7.. GSW will probably roll through the second round too. Conference finals is going to be tough though with either, HOU/SA (MEM maybe wtf? nah).
-
can't believe they (MIL) didn't get the ball to Jason Terry at the end.. that's the guy you want trying to nail the game tying 3 from half court.. instead he hesitated and threw it away. Was hoping to see MIL get that win.
i'd love to see UTA get passed LAC .. "tired of" LAC. Chris Paul's recent response to such a stupid question was great though.
-
damn @ UTAH, letting that game 6 slip.
Yea Giannis is really awkward but I like his game. Dude is all over the court. I think he'll keep improving though.
-
^^ isaiah would wreck you.. lulz.
WOW AT HOUSTON DESTROYING SAN ANTONIO.. SLAUGHTER. :o
-
LETS GO UTAH LETS GO UTAH..... PLEASE EXPOSE THE GSW PLEASEEEEEEE MAKE IT A SERIES OF 7 OR BEAT THEM PLEASE.... THESE GSW TALKIN SHIT ABOUT UTAH BEING BORING TO PARTY AT NIGHT.... SOME MAJOR DISRESPECT.... COME ON UTAH SHOW EM OUT WITH EXCELLENT DEFENSE

Vintage david west, the former 2-time all star still getting it done.
David West - 6'9, 250lb. rumored to be the warriors player with the lowest BF%. does boxing training too. will probably destroy draymond 8-10yrs ago.
-
sux UTA lost game 3, dammit.
3 games today.. HOU better win game 4, how they could blow this with Parker now out is incredible. SA is just such a machine though, popovich is among the GOAT coaches imho.. SA reminds me of the NE Patriots, just always a threat no matter what happens.
would love to see CLE end TOR tonight .. no interest in watching that go beyond 4 games lmao..
I'd like to see Celtics/Cavs & Warriors/Rockets. :ninja:

IT exposed as a fraud that gets all the calls.... when he don't get the calls this happens ahhahahahahaha
nah, he can create shots/hit some tough shots.. IT is legit.
(I think I misread though)
But definitely re: fouls - they need to stop calling such weak fouls .. or biting on flops. They are doing a much better job the last 2 years, but they still have a long way to go. I stopped watching the NBA completely for a while, just got so tired of the weak + favoritism calls.
easy fix: refs need to keep the whistle away from their mouths.
one thing i'll never understand: consistent home court advantage blowouts.
-
IT will finally get exposed on the road not getting EVERY call....
aged well.. hah

i just died.

Heres the problem with NBA officiating. It has gotten a bit better. I don't really blame the officials cause i know they're human and its a hard game to officiate.
But they need to allow officials to make a call within 3 seconds of the play happening, so they have enough time to process exactly what happened. Fans always booing late calls, but with the speed of the game its hard to make the right calls.
Also they need to stop the shenanigans where if a player makes the dunk or basket they don't call the AND1 and if they miss they call it, shit like that. That's fuckin retarded.
They need to get rid of the ridiculous continuation calls on everything. If you get bumped and then decide to throw up a shot, just call the bump. It's absolutely embarrassing to watch.

ya.. I don't think BOS/WAS has much of a chance vs CLE either.
i think we'll all be happy though when it's GSW / CLE facing off again.. that should be a real series.

:( truth.
Mad respect to SAS tho: Elite Franchise. Popovich is such a damn good coach that his team beat Houston without Parker (~3 games?) and Kawhi (1.25 games). HOU obviously lost Nene but, Parker is 2x Nene's and Kawhai is 3x Nene's. :ninja:
If I owned an NBA organization, i'd choose Popovich as head coach, no hesitation.
If they were healthy, i'd give them 2 games. :ninja:

hah SAS putting an ass whoopin` on GSW right now.. SAS firing on all cylinders.
:ninja:
-
fuck leonard looks hurt.
this game is great, even though it's an ass whoopin` still.
-
spurs & curry can't miss.. this is great.
curry vs spurs
-
dude take leonard out immediately.. IMMEDIATELY.
do not let him play the rest of this game.
-
i think this game going to go down to the wire with or w/o leonard.
but yeah wtf next sprain is going to be a fracture .... his ankle is fucked up right now i bet....
ya he didn't look good walking out.. but probably just some light damage to some ligaments, which if he had been allowed to play, would probably have ended in some complete tears.. you can see he just has no strength in stabilization, with that ankle.
-
shit man. hate to see injuries change a game.
GSW rollin` right now.
SAS has no rhythm.
wrecked.
-
murray is solid man.
spurs are just so strong.. they could probably lose 2 more players and be competitive.
popo = incredible coach. spurs players = absolutely rugged, throwback rugged.
-
ALRIDGE
-
curry strained something in his forearm.. :o
-
and.. this is why they got Durant.
-
livingston abusing (size) murray.. but murray also abusing (speed) livingston.

warriors up 1.. feh!
i'm going for spurs now.. lmao

-
i missed it.
-
dno.. i think cavs will roll through the celtics.
GSW / CLE will be solid.. but ya, if CLE does struggle against BOS and it allows GSW to rest (if they sweep), GSW will definitely have the advantage.
this just looks like two juggernauts rolling through everyone, until they finally meet each other in the finals.
also, dunk king S2 tonight right?!
-
i'll predict, CLE 103, BOS 89
-
lol celts, forfeit now, or take some ped's at half time... make it a game... lol cleveland on super turbo mode...
going to sleep setting alarm for dunk king..... this is a joke.....
cle looks like the new GSW tbh.....
lmao
-
bron *almost* got dunked on pretty bad, but good defense.. that would have been ugly.
-
lebron might be hurt.. hope not.
-
This is unbelievable!
-
Maybe, maybe not. I would imagine he's running out of steam after everything he's been through as well. Plus LeBron is hitting ridiculous numbers right now.
-
Yeah there's definitely an element of that. Especially when he flops on offence.
I hope the cats push this one. Destroy them.

LMFAO
-
it'll be a ~25 point win for CLE: could be 30+ but the bench will play the last 6 minutes of the 4th.
:(
this GSW/CLE collision can't happen soon enough.. can't wait. :wowthatwasnutswtf:
-
guess i was wrong. fuck.
please CLE win.. finish this shit in 4.
-
foul 3.
daaaym.
-
if BOS pulls this off.. ENORMOUS L for CLE.
-
Man I feel sick watching that last quarter. So many bad shots by Cle and so much poor defense.
*Edit- Jerebko is now among my list of hated players. Dropping the shoulder multiple times in screens without calls. Damn
-
I see game 4 being close again and game 5 another blowout. CLE will be pissed after this game. Up by 18 or whatever it was and to lose is criminal.
-
i wanted to reply like 5 times, but was away from comp. Boston hit every big shot down the stretch. Horrible defense at the end by CLE. Possible illegal screen that got BOS open though at the end.
what an enormous loss for CLE.
:o
-
i don't like the celtics, especially given that they just knocked my team out. but i will have an underdog-lover erection the size of the hubble space telescope if they somehow make it to the finals.

What do you think Adarq about tonights game? Will Boston get it within 14 points or lose by 14 or more? Very tough call today..... obviously Cavs are pissed off and won't take this as lightly as last game lol blowing a 21 point lead in 3rd quarter..... but Boston will be fighting too.....
Is 14 points the line? What are the odds?
-
Yeah cool. You would think CLE would be pissed and James especially given his performance in game 3. BOS also may have burned their one good game for the series.
-
ok definitely surprised at this start for BOS..
-
holy
shit
Lebron = 4 fouls with 6:40 left in the 2nd........................... :o
-
As well as Boston are playing, CLE are playing poorly though. I hate it when they go back to iso the whole time. Same thing they did in game 3. Amazing shit happens when you move the ball quickly.
-
when you think you got it in the bag..... wrecked.

kyrie is one of the most injury prone players in the league.. got to be extra careful with him imho.

irving ballin` tho.

omfg @ kyrie
-
the kyrie show. that is all.
-
how is he a dbag for that? wut. props to him for not doing a soft dunk.. that was a perfect moment to try and bring the house down. If he landed that, it'd be in the "whole bunch of dunks and shit thread"... :ninja:
just a friendly reminder:
GAME 5 TONIGHT
-
75 points at the half for CLE.. kinda nuts.
BOS actually has a slightly above normal amount of points at halftime. lol.

can't wait.

LEBRON JAMES NASTY DUNK
this is a POWER dunk fest.
-
This is nuts! Off to a good start.
-
FIRST QUARTER DID NOT DISAPPOINT.
curry feeling it.. kyrie trying to match.
still amp'd from that LEBRON dunk tho.
-
it's slipping away from CLE right now.. slowly. (even tho it's only a 5 point lead for GSW)
-
Ya i think GSW have more firepower. Early it seemed to be a war of attrition with both teams playing good defence but eventually GSW is seizing control.
-
seems like when lebron rotates out of the lineup, CLE will be in trouble - and GSW won't.
GSW is going to win the starters<->bench rotation battle.
-
Way too many turnovers. CLE would lose against anyone playing like this.
Also, get some defensive rebounds CLE.
-
Ya i think GSW have more firepower. Early it seemed to be a war of attrition with both teams playing good defence but eventually GSW is seizing control.
yea i mean you can keep curry AND/or durant on the floor at all times.. huge advantage.
obviously that's not unbeatable, but it's a solid advantage.
-
Am i the only one who thinks 3pt shooting should be disabled for this series. It's just unfair when GSW can just find an open perimeter specialist so easily and get out of actually playing offense smh haha
-
HOLY SHIT KYRIE???????
WHAT
THE
FUCK
circus 4-pt play.
hah.
-
Am i the only one who thinks 3pt shooting should be disabled for this series. It's just unfair when GSW can just find an open perimeter specialist so easily and get out of actually playing offense smh haha
yes you are the only one.. lmao
-
kyrie gets to the rim. a fact of life.
-
2 missed foul calls and a missed OB call all in favor of the warriors and just now the anouncer said there was a carry - does this sort of thing happen often? home court advantage?
-
Assuming HC advantage is a factor. Have seen a lot of this regularly though. Especially the carries. It's so blatant.
-
If I'm CLE I'm optimistic that they're only down by 8 after such a poor effort in the first half.
Get James to stop throwing cross court passes and block out GSW on the boards and there's the deficit right there.

well that turned out to be a bummer, especially after such an amazing first quarter.

Was hoping it would be a low scoring series, only way i can see this being competitive. If GSW are on, and they seem to be, there is no contest to be found here. Oh well. KD killed the NBA. RIP. But will still tune in for game 3.
-
i have a tub of fresh hot salsa & blue corn chips ready.
i am going to destroy a large quantity of blue corn chips when i get back to the states in ~3 weeks. destroy. lay waste. annihilate. do what KD did to the rim tonight when cleveland forgot to play defense against him. massacre. conduct a vicious genocide.
there will be no more blue corn chips in california, texas, maryland, dc, or north carolina by the time i head back to paksitan.
i did not know how much i missed them until this moment.

So is this just another home game blowout or something more than that?
Or, are CLE just foxing till GSW go up 3-1 haha
Here is the issue: The game looked like an NBA dleague tryout. Almost like in the players' heads (especially Cavs) "OMG OMG the world is watching us I need to show out what I got"
During showcase/tryout games, players play super hard and wild, with a faster pace, and not much defensive chemistry, nor offensive chemistry.
The only problem is that this style of play totally fits GSW anyway.
I don't know what set Lebron/kyrie off to lose confidence in his teammates after the 1st fuckin play..... because Klove was locked down by Klay the 1st play? They just decided I need to do it myself and run and gun with GSW and/or decided "I need to get 40 10 10 for us to win" bs
These guys are shameful imo, 7+ days to prepare and it seems like they didn't do shit at practice and just launched jumpers all day long..... and take selfies....
No effort on taking charges and sacrificing body..... only way to beat GSW is if GSW loses confidence and then they might start missing jumpers...... If i was Cavs' owner I would conference call the team and let them have it, but they're so prideful they'd probably play even worse game 2 hearing it.
Are you Skip in disguise? Lots of hate for the Cavs going on.
For me personally I thought the Cavs just had one of those games and fell back into bad habits. Not helped by KD and Steph being on. Too much iso play, carelessness, giving up so many offensive rebounds, etc.
-
Skip in disguise.. lmfao.
That'd be amazing.. :D
Ya let's see what happens in game 2.. After the first, cavs didn't hit shots, had too many turnovers, and played some crappy D - all while GSW was hitting everything. No chance when that happens.
SUNDAY.
-
SUNDAY.
MONDAY MORNING AT 5.

what?! it's 7:35 AM ET in the US (center of the universe), did I miss it??!?
:trollface:
you'll be able to catch the entire game before work? reminds me of waking up early af for futbol/tennis matches.
-
I don't watch espn or tv much so i don't know what that skip bayless said......
skip is whack. he talks alot but doesn't usually have much to say.
IF lebron is the "greatest" player on earth...... now is the time to show it..... not against a midget team Boston, or east scrubs.....
true
if GSW wins the champ this year..... they could win the champ for the next 5 years straight easily.....
ya but cavs could also make a huge pickup.. GSW isn't going to be making huge pickups for a while. If anything we'll see Klay leave in 2018 etc. but ya GSW is more of the long term threat. The East is basically waiting for Lebron to lose his motivation, switch teams, or retire.
It's crazy how much of a lock GSW/CLE has on the NBA right now.. GSW is incredibly stacked with superb coaching, CLE has Lebron and a bunch of really good players. GSW has the formula for success: Curry has a rare bad night? Durant/Klay/Draymond. Durant has a rare bad night? Curry/Klay/Draymond. You need both Curry & Durant to have a bad night or get locked down, or outscore them. GSW is lethal.
-
I want to see GSW punish Cavs by 100 points this game.... to humble their BITCHASSES.... i want the CAVS to be SWEPT 4-0 and lose by 40 points every game and BOOOO'd at CLand, even if i booked Cavs earlier....
This will be healthy for LeDouche and Tyrone Fluke
LeDouche is whack, but Tyrone Fluke is kinda funny.
I honestly never think about Tyronn Lue when I think about CLE.. I mean I should, but I don't, not for a second. FWIW I didn't think too much about Eric Spolstra either when MIA had the big 3 - I thought about him more than Lue though.
I guess when i'm watching the game, I need to pay attention to Lue's coaching more.
-
Did you see Curry in game 1? He resembled a bit of that Kemba Walker explosiveness/quickness/swagger, now that is scary..... (not saying Kemba is better than Curry)
ya he was kemba'n a bit with the ball .. much less explosive, but just as shifty.. and far more deadly from deep. Curry's range + accuracy is just unreal.
-
tonight's useless & baseless prediction: GSW 111 - CLE 103
-
tonight's useless & baseless prediction: GSW 111 - CLE 103
it will be close to vegas' prediction of +-9

good game so far. CLE playing more patient. Love came out very strong, wonder if he'll be the same after that leg tweak tho. GSW not even playing that good right now, but dead even - dangerous.

lebron needs to dig deep and play god mode again for 5 more mins. theres no other way

still much respect for king james. everybody else got defended and lost their game.

smh. i cant even dignify that with a response.
I will say so far this series has gone EXACTLY how i said it would to some people. From defensive assignments to adjustments for game 2. and i said Warriors in 5/6.
-
2016: warriors by 25 in game 1, 43 in game 2
2017: warriors by 22 in game 1, 21 in game 2
cavs won last year, in case people forgot. not saying that'll happen again, just saying let's not get ahead of ourselves.
-

^^
I'm worried about CLE but, exactly. I mean this is how series are supposed to go:
2-0
2-2
3-2
3-3
4-3
:D
CLE played GSW good for ~1.5 quarters in game 1.. And about ~2.5 quarters in game 2. Home court advantage says they play good for ~3 quarters in games 3 & 4, while GSW plays a little worse overall. Could easily be 2-2 after the next two games.
The difference this year is obviously Durant. Not sure how GSW will play "bad", seems impossible right now with their weapons and how lethal they are playing.
-
the difference for CLE in that second half, was really LEBRON not being as aggressive / attacking the rim.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v48daHFbzik
NASTY.
-
sick finish from McGee on this oop:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJbILoUltkA
-
lebron will find a way to maintain his god mode attacks for the entire game feeding of the energy of the crowd at home. he ran out of juice in game 2 settling for jump shots.
i hope this becomes interesting. not blow outs after blowouts.
-
Man where was Tristan??? 4 rebounds. He should be ashamed of himself.
Also, I know GSW have been solid defensively but the lack of open shots for JR, Korver, Frye, etc is concerning.
-
lolllllll even lebron is showing a lack of confidence........ THIS WILL BE UGLY........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7l88nYw4ls
C'mon man that was one of the dumbest questions ever to be asked in an interview. Journalists are bad enough in Australia but I'm dumbfounded at the stupidity in the American press.
-
i've actually never seen multi-facepalm before.. that's pretty funny.
-
GSW separating at ~4:30 left in the 1st.. even though it's only a 4 point lead.
shooting the lights out.
-
NASTY FULL COURT ATTACK & DUNK BY LEBRON
seems like he's had a nasty dunk in each of the three fist quarters so far.
-
Durantula turned GSW into a MONSTER. It's almost like any regular season struggles they had, were just for show.. and now in the playoffs/finals, we see who they really are, unbeatable.
lmao.
i'm losing hope fast, that CLE will be able to avoid a sweep.
GSW coasts the regular season, to turn it up several notches and sweep the entire playoffs/finals :o :o
-
beautiful pass from draymond to klay for the layup.
-
beautiful reverse layup from Lebron.
-
hah epic series of defense by both sides. steals on steals on steals on steals.

hard fought 3rd quarter.. game 3 is great so far.

someone needs to find the kyrie layup master class video (from this game) after the game.
-
how you feeling now, fast does lie? i thought the warriors would win but i didn't think it'd be this dominant. cavs gave it everything today and still lost.
-
horrendous basketball by CLE to close it out in the last ~30 seconds.. bad shot + taking way too long to foul.. then sloppy offense with another horrible shot (I think by Love).
Kyrie really showed up. Still not enough. GSW is just too lethal.
how you feeling now, fast does lie? i thought the warriors would win but i didn't think it'd be this dominant. cavs gave it everything today and still lost.
ya. toast.

love could have scored more points. he sucked today. monster games by lebron and kyrie cannot beat 3 warrior superstars having a not-bad shooting game.
durant is best player on planet now. :wowthatwasnutswtf:
-
i've also always been mystified by the east-west imbalance. it's so consistent, year after year. no equivalent that i know of in other major pro sports.
-
Man you gotta stop yelling. It's hurting my eyes.
-
CLE will beat GSW next year, if Durant goes to CLE.
-
cavs did not put in the work in offseason..... and it showed.... they were all partying on yachts all year
before the finals they went 12-1 and made the number one seed in the east look like a mid-major college team. they're a really good team. the warriors are just epochal.
-
^^ That's funny & kinda true. What's GSW's game plan? Push the pace and shoot threes from 5 ft behind the 3-pt line with lethal accuracy, from two MVP's playing, 4 all-stars total, and a bunch of solid role players?
I don't see some kind of spurs-like basketball from GSW.. I just see lethal threats everywhere who make you pay for every mistake, and can play at this intensity all game.
but like LBSS said.. CLE went 12-1 in the east. They are playing GSW who has Durant now. CLE didn't pick up anyone amazing this year - they got Korver, cool. But GSW picked up DURANT.. They had a worse team last year (though a better regular season record) and were up 3-1 on CLE.. Now they are way better, this isn't that surprising after watching it play out.
Usaint bolt ran 9.58 one time, and second place was 9.77 by Tyson Gay which was an American record, but not even close. If only I could turn back time and call him a weed smoker every 5 seconds. 8|
Sometimes a team is just better.. To me, it's hard to insult a team ad-nauseam when that team made it to the finals, going 12-1 in their conference. GSW is just significantly better. It's more to do with GSW being great than CLE being a disappointment, IMHO.
-
i dno.. Shump/Smith/Frye/Thompson/Williams can't get anything to drop. Korver has been ok.. But it's really just Lebron > Kyrie > Love, in that order.
Those non-big-3 players have had their chance at hitting big shots, just aren't dropping. Shumpert has had some wide open 3's for example, bricking most of them.
-
GSW isn't playing too good, and they are only down 7. Durant is playing good though.. tons of missed freethrows already for CLE, not good.
-
definitely a foul by curry.. but god damn, shumpert with an acting job.
-
sick layup by mcgee. did some palming trickery.
-
This has to be the highest scoring first quarters (and maybe first halves) in any nba finals series. The first quarter scoring has been nuts.
-
almost 50 points in the first.... 48 right now. 50 = insane. let's see.
:wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:
-
that's goaltending.. FUCK.
refs ruined a 50+ quarter.
-
(should have been 50 or 51):
49 points in the first quarter.. WTF? and like the announcer said, they missed 8 free throws.
that's insane.
-
kyrie exploding.
also, Kyrie has Made Layups Great Again.. amazing finesse.
(well curry too, but kyrie has the most finesse i think.. his layups are a thing of art)
-
korver with the LMAO-level turnover.

incredible missed call by refs, on the back court.. NBA refs are absolutely blind.
NFL refs put NBA refs to shame.

unbelievable first half..
86 points by one team, in 2 quarters? 86 points can beat any NBA team, any given night, in _4 quarters_.
INSANITY.
The scary thing for CLE is though, i'm still completely engaged in this game.. It's not a blow out, even though they are up 20+. This is the kind of lead they needed going into the second half, in order to hold off GSW.. Think about that. eek.
-
KD = fucking soft
-
What a game!!! Cavs only needed to break a few records to beat GSW. Now just to do that 3 more times haha

Man I lol'd so hard at that. Epic in the moment posts and all for nothing.

I think if this game was called 100% evenly, it would have came down to the wire and could have gone either way.
If game 5 is super biased towards CLE, I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down to the wire.....
Idk. The refs are fucked either way. Gave in to KD when he bitched about getting a head shot. Look at what Green did to Tristan about 5 mins later and they say nothing. Soooo bad.
-
they have to do legal hip checks on rebounds to get the gsw pissed off, must do clean strips, swipes, and if ref screws them in anyway, Lue needs to get on half court and let it be known, even at sacrifice of a tech.....
This. They should be watching tape of the bad boy Pistons for the next 48 hours. Go down swinging. Also, someone needs to drop Pachulia.
-
What a game!!! Cavs only needed to break a few records to beat GSW. Now just to do that 3 more times haha
They need to play game 5 like their lives are on the line, as if they don't win, they get executed by a firing squad.
That's a Level-7 technique.
Tristan needs to go for the ball like a starving wolf in the wild, Love kyrie needs to hustle back like its a 30 yard sprint..... lebron needs to move his feet on defense like hes tap dancing........

yup.. crazy how soft CLE played in the first 3 games compared to game 4... This is the NBA finals and you are outgunned, play with some damn aggression. Not at all saying to play dirty (don't try to hurt anyone), but play rough, talk shit, be mean, and scrap it out. I mean that's the only formula I see that they can use to somehow win 4 games in a row.
CLE seems to play better when they are angry.. All I think it does to them, is give them more energy to try and match GSW.
I still can't get over the scoring from last night's game, that is incredible.. It's like an All-Star game where no one is playing defense - except, this is an NBA finals game where everyone is defending as hard as possible. That's nuts...

I mean, why isn't Lue getting technicals or at least fighting with the refs? That fires up ur team and worth a lot more than just 1 point..... All the experienced coaches go after refs or spazz the fuck out sometimes.... i dont see Lue.... he's gotta let it be known he's not tolerating any calls in favor of GSW.....
That was funny when Pachulia was on the ground and Cavs role players went after him like a pack of wild dogs.... Pachulia was like "fu" and about to fight.... i like pachulia....
first hit on google for Kyrie, lul
https://twitter.com/kyrieirving
dno about RJ tho.
Pachulia was spazzing out last night.. He had a few moments where he could be justifiably angry, got roughed up good.. but mostly him just spazzing out.

One of the worst officiated NBA games i've seen. I think the fact that Draymond didn't get kicked out for his second T, because they changed the first T to Kerr, makes it among the worst ever officiated games. Add that to the easily missed back court calls, T on the bench, garbage flagrants, missed flagrants, etc.. Atrocious reffing.

If I was the Cavs film session i would play this entire time:

hahahahahahah.. ya I know, such a fail. those posts should be in here. FML!
I should have realized last night, when I was wondering why no one else was posting during such an epic game... didn't occur to me.
-
I say we'll see fireworks in game 5. CLE will come out super aggressive again and GSW won't want to get jumped again. There'll be plenty of conflict and watch for the refs to try and take control so nothing gets out of hand. I'm expecting more techs than last game and at least one ejection.....hopefully Draymond.
-
Today is game 5..... i doubt Cavs can win, i hope they do tho.......... ill give em a 18% chance of winning tonight.... oh well....
lbj's sleep patterns r bad.... according to my database he does not sleep well on 2 game layoffs after a win..... kyrie is a playboy.... probably partied all night in cali..... lets hope they can handle GSW and refs help em out too
this post cracked me up.. LMFAO.
sleep pattern data would be gold for gamblers i imagine.

agreed.. except i don't think there will be an ejection.
CLE found a formula last game -> aggression, mean as fuck basketball.. so no doubt they will come right out of the gate trying to replicate that. If they don't, they can F off.
-
Hi. Game 5 in 30 minutes.
Thanks.
:wowthatwasnutswtf:
-
Cannot wait.
-
SICK START TO GAME 5.
KYRIE AMAZING LAYUP AS USUAL.
Back to back steals from Kyrie & Lebron.
Intense start.
I wish Lebron would have just said fuck it and tried to destroy (dunk on) Durant instead of that layup.
-
pechulia is bad for GSW.. he just doesn't fit their style IMHO. I think he's a solid player.. but he's always angry & slow. lmao.
-
JAMES. 3.
-
KYRIE insane cross + layup.
-
why did he take Kyrie out? wtf?
-
damn lebron was ready for a massive lob.. shumpert fumbles the pass.
-
those bullshit foul calls where the offensive player jumps to the side to create contact, is such crap.. should be reviewable + or just called correctly.
NBA refs fall for everything.
fwiw, kevin love probably does it more than anyone on these teams.
-
weak foul calls on both sides, ruining this first quarter.. slowing the game down significantly.
-
HORRIBLE FOUL CALL on McCaw against Kyrie ... :uhhhfacepalm:
CIRCUS SHOT BY KYRIE LMAO.. trying to get the foul but not getting contact, still hits it.. He and Curry do that alot.
-
DURANT GOT SMASHED ON.
LEBRON.
-
IGOUDALA JUST DESTROYED THE RIM.

lol @ lebron acting like he didn't up&down travel.
I hate when players do that.. man up, gives you more credibility in the future.
-
lebron looks tired
-
u can tell kyrie is hurtin.. he's got a noticeable hitch in his step now.
-
GSW taking over.
-
where is coges?
ejection coming.....................
Coges = basketball god.
-
lebron looks tired
ya, don't even think about it in basketball terms.. think about it like this:
Critical project due in 2 hours. Lebron & Kyrie going hard, expected to be the leads on it. Kyrie becomes incapacitated. Lebron realizes it's all on his shoulders. Instant fatigue/burn out.
hah.
-
Kyrie played such great defense on that play......... So annoying that, such solid defense + legit play on the ball, turns into an altercation.
West is a bitch.
-
refs slowing down the game... give kyrie more time to fix himself. otherwise, warriors blowout again after bron runs out of gas.
-
West should have been ejected.. T for pushing Kyrie in his neck/face/chin. Another T for being a bitch.
-
Kyrie played such great defense on that play......... So annoying that, such solid defense + legit play on the ball, turns into an altercation.
West is a bitch.
Looked like Kyrie had his arm locked dohh. Dunno I was gonna comment on West playing with great heart this game like he's 20yo again, pulling down some big boards.

Hardly any arm, had mostly ball.
That's great defense by Kyrie.. We can all admit he didn't mug West. West acted like little Kyrie mugged him. Just annoys me to death because, all that drama over a solid play by Kyrie. Deserved respect by West, not bully aggression. :/
-
AIR iquodala.. :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:
-
Kyrie teaching every1 on CLE how to hustle.. What happened to CLE? Come the fuck on.
-
WHAT THE FUCK WAS LEBRON DOING ON DEFENSE?????????????? NO HELP.
-
JR SMITH IS HOT.
:o :o :o :o :o
-
dude CLE is crazy lucky they are only down 11 at the half.. WTF?
incredible.
Lebron somewhat, JR Smith and Kyrie hit some big buckets to close out the second.. Otherwise, it's been the GSW show: teamwork. Everyone involved. Everyone getting buckets.
Lebron's weak ass D/no hustling in the second quarter makes no sense.. Other than his bad sleep according to FDL's database..
-
JR and shumpert really need to do some scoring..... lebron is tired, kyrie has no legs..... and kyries not the type of guy to bitch about it..... unless he breaks a bone.....
we might see Lebron pass out at the end of this game, a few minutes left in the fourth .. if this is close, but they are losing.. Similar to Heat/Spurs.
He looks different ever since Kyrie got hurt.. Though, Kyrie got back on track to close out the second.
Kyrie could come out stiff as fuck to start the third. :uhhhfacepalm:
-
bad D by CLE so far in this half.. soo many missed assignments/open looks for GSW.
-
that "fake shot acting like you were fouled" by Durant should be a T.. where you spread your arms out to the side and flail.
-
FEED JR SMITH.
-
8 points.................. nice.
-
lmfao at that travel by LBJ after the O-rebound.. gets an O-rebound and takes two steps for a layup, no dribble.. hahah
-
fwiw, curry traveled hard after a rebound earlier, didn't mention it.
-
OMFG KYRIE LEFT HANDED LAYUP AFTER CONTACT.
what a monster this dude is.. so beautiful.
-
KYRIE ballin man.
-
another travel by james, but after contact lmao..
fuck is Love doing with these flailing shots.
CLE is playing HARD.
-
Curry vs Love.................... lol.
-
cle slipping on defense.. just so hard for them keep matching GSW's level tonight.
-
Draymond saves Klay's life.. wow. lmao. could have been a very bad landing.
-
That "knee bump" by Lebron into Durant almost looked deliberate..
-
LEBRON AND1!!!!!!!!
-
misses the freethrow.. AND0
-
NASTY LOB FROM BRON TO TT..
WOW
incredible lob/pass by BRON.
sick finish by TT, but dude that pass tho.
-
Durant = lethal.
-
how the hell is CLE going to win this? they make a run, then Durant answers.
-
damn KYrie looked wrecked on the sideline.
:( lmao
-
there's not many people who pull down a "stronger rebound" than Lebron James.. Sometimes I think the ball is going to pop.
-
Lebron sucks with Curry on him.. he posts up from the 3 pt line wtf? He does that alot when Curry guards him... it's weird.
-
Lebron playing too unselfish lately.. TAKE IT TO THE DAMN BASKET.
-
when McCaw is owning you.. bad sign. :(
-
KEEP
FEEDING
JR
SMITH.
-
excellent D by CLE to close out the third.. surprise trap on Curry.
-
as expected.. Durant with the answer.

LBJ looks pissed after the igoudala 3.. but, looked sluggish when he attacked Durant.

crazy how fast GSW can blow up a lead.. literally 30 seconds it can go from 3 to 10.
-
lebron guzzling that water hard.
fuq.
-
after these free throws, i'm expecting a Durant 3 pointer.
-
finally Korver hits a 3.
-
cle giving up 2 dunks in a row......... :(
-
lol no gatorade.... he still drinks water....
i don't question that though.. he's been in enough of these situations to know himself/his body, even if it's just superstition.. he could have experienced bloating/stomach cramping from gatorade in past events etc.. who knows. not so easy as it sounds, IMHO.
-
LEBRON straight up diesel power to the rim, dunk.
disgusting.
-
10 pt lead, 6 minutes.. eek.
-
12 points, 5 minutes.
..
Durant about to get a ring. Going to take some magic (big shots + defensive stops = impossible) for CLE to get within striking distance.
-
absolutely no one around kyrie, for CLE, to scoop up his miss..
-
holy shit what a 4-pt play by JR smith..
wow
edit: he didn't hit the freethrow.
-
lebron just plowing and plowing like a boss.
-
CLE just had some nice opportunities to get the lead down, but careless bball.
game over. they've given up, no fouling, nothing.
Curry with the dagger.
-
GSW wins 4-1..but felt more like a 4-3 because lebron can do whatever he wants, and kyrie is just a scoring machine. too bad Love is not so good today.
-
happy for GSW & especially Durant.
Got his ring. Woulda rather seen him get it on a less stacked team, but whatever.
-

Agreed on Durant. That's the silver lining of GSW winning.
Devo for CLE. Should have just given JR the ball every play the last 2 minutes.
-
KD was just automatic though. Ridiculous. Reminds me of that Rucker Park game.
-
happy for GSW & especially Durant.
Got his ring. Woulda rather seen him get it on a less stacked team, but whatever.
Curry + Durant + Draymond + Klay
Lebron + Wade + Bosh
Shaq + Kobe
Magic + Kareem
4 stacked is pretty damn stacked.. HEH.
-
kyrie split the defense but couldn't even catch up to the ball.... he was really aching.... hope uncle drew will get healthy and destroy em next year....
CLE had too many passengers and too much load on Kyrie and Lebron. Bring in PG and go again next year haha

ya man.. that was disappointing.
CLE should have been fouling like crazy the last ~3 minutes.. and then doing what they were doing on offense, very intense attack or kick it to JR Smith.
TBH, they "gave up" (edit: or more like, just accepted the L), they didn't fight to the very end.. and they lost by 9. They had some key missed opportunities in the last 2 minutes, turnovers/bad D - but that was because they had already given up imho.
JR Smith was automatic tonight, should have fed him alot more.
Would have just liked to see them play it more like an NCAA March Madness finish, where you keep fighting up until < 10 seconds, even if you're down 10.

ok i'm out.
gn folks.
will post some photos tmw. if any1 sees some good finals mixes/dunk montages, or layup montages (kyrie/curry), or 3 montages (durant/curry), please post.

yup.. mcgrady, miller, bird, etc.
never accept your fate.. by accepting it at 3 minutes, they gave themselves no chance to pull out the "miracle", and that helped contribute to the little mistakes/turnovers at the end, which looked so sloppy.. with no one near the boards for offensive rebounds. Bad look..
-
+1 to the "gave up" comments. cleveland quit with about 2:40 to go. there was an inbound after a GSW bucket where i said to my buddy, look at JR's body language. they're done.
then GSW started letting lebron drive however he wanted -- it was kind of fun to watch him destroy iggy one-on-one, but also kind of sad -- and milking the clock, and that was that.
-
Looking back on the NBA season, I don't see GSW being that much ahead of Cavs like everyone thinks.
I mean game 1 and 2, the cavs were in it til halftime then 2nd half got blitzed okay......
Game 3 cavs were up 6 with 2 minutes left......
Game 4 cavs blew em out
Game 5 cavs were in it AND kyrie started getting hurt.....
It's Lue's fault tbh for relying so heavily on Kyrie and Lebron all season, they have other weapons.... look at JR, Channing didnt even get used lol, shump, korver, derrick williams, and wtf why not give kay felder even if he stunk it up at first.... he's nervous as hell and was injured..... dude had a 39 inch svj!!!!
I'm sure they didn't train as hard as GSW either..... even though they said they "put in the time" .... bs....
Largely agree with you here. For me the big difference is those defensive lapses like when they forget to switch on a screen and let GSW waltz into an open basket. Simple mistakes that shouldn't be made at that level. Interested to see what happens in the trade period and next season.
But for now bring on Aug 26.
-
What happens on Aug 26?
Mayweather v McGregor
-
What happens on Aug 26?
Mayweather v McGregor
lol i'm not looking forward to that at all, mcgregor is going to get slaughtered.... no fun when u know exactly whats going to happen....
FWIW I think Mayweather wins but...
At worst McGregor has a punchers chance. He carries concrete in his hands and is a unique mover. He will come in bigger than Floyd with reach to boot and if Floyd is as defensive as he would normally be then McGregor has so much more freedom to move around. I think it's going to be a really interesting fight.

Also, 2 huge records were broken in this year's finals:

^I mostly agree to that. Totals are incomplete information, they don't include percentages, TO ratios, gametime, ball touches, clutch etc. Also yes, if you give a player ( not everyone, but there are a lot more than just a few ) the total freedom, he will sum great numbers. But! This is the NBA finals statistics. No random teams get there. And no random player gets the ball so many times. No random players are on the opposite team to guard him. It is not a random coincidence that the previous record holder of most triple doubles was Magic. And the previous record holder for triple double average was... noone.
Yes, Lebron was overly 'marketed' too early and to a very annoying extent. But that does not subtract anything from his actual greatness. For me, at his 32, he is already a strong candidate for GOAT, and this is coming from a hardcore MJ lover that had the joy of being an adult bball fan during MJs prime, i didn't just saw and read it later, i was in my early 20s following it while it was happening.
I have to rephrase your last sentence.
I mean part of why Lebron is so good is that he was designated as the "chosen one" "king" since high school
I mean why Lebron was designated as the "chosen one" "king" since high school is that he is so good
-
Stat may be potentially cherrypicked cos it wud punish a player who averages similar numbers to lebron in 5 but had to play 6 or 7 games instead of 5. Not that im saying such a player exists. Who knows.
-
dennis rodman was the most valuable player of all time.
-
MJ got so many calls back in his day, it was un fuckin real..... you think it's bad now.... go look at some of the old clips.....
Even Magic joked during a dream team photo shoot with MJ and Bird "You can't touch Michael [while about to put his hands on mike's shoulders] or its going to be a foul" lolol
this is just one clip i can find:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUFqnu0tHtE
theres more if u watch some of the old games in full .... but yeah MJ go the most superstar treatment of any player in sports imo.....
As much as I remember Jordan being great, best player in the clutch i've ever seen, I also remember him getting EVERY call. You couldn't blow on him or they'd call a foul. If anyone thinks Kobe got the most calls, i'm pretty sure they didn't watch Jordan in his prime.
On the flipside.. Lebron gets the least amount of calls i've seen for an elite player.
That's one thing people never factor into the Jordan / Lebron equation. I'd love to see the free throw statistics for both of them, especially in the playoffs/finals.

Yeah that is nuts. Lebron can get WAY up for his size.
