Redman10 · Jun 18, 2013

Senatore do your even read or understand a post? Or your just a complete idiot?

Did I mention clutch?
Did I say Lebron is not great?

Read again which maybe a problem for you because it not the first time you completely misunderstood? I said he is under-performing for his standards in the biggest stage of basketball? Which is a fact.

Madridista · Jun 18, 2013

Who gives a shit about his regular season record. when it counts, like in a final game, when the game is decided, he comes up short too often for his ability and stature.

Here's how to be Senatore in seven quick and easy steps :

1. take a controversial opinion with a couple talking points (see Pirlo = god / Kobe not being a top tier player all time etc)
2. misrepresents the truth in all ways imaginable to defend your POV
3. Flood forum you with convenient and carefully filtered statistics
4. Flood forum with articles of important personalities backing up POV (usually out of context of the discussion)
5. Accuse all who disagree as being trolls
6. Labels all who disagree as being idiots
7. Calls in for backup from his forum buddies

And I'm saying you're making a snap judgement before finals over.

i dont' recall anyone saying kobe is not grat. Jordan is not great when they lost finals games or whatever.

it's a series. He's been good. He's been poor at times too.

-

I'm saying trolls liie madridista make a point to post after every loss and not when he they win. This series was always gonna go 6 or 7 cause spurs are better team (note: team), though I still think Miami will push it to 7, and i have a hard time seeing em losing in a game 7.

and thats what irks me..... minute there's a loss, its nonstop 'he's not that great'. Like I said....jordan never swept a series. Heck 5 outta 6 went 6 games. And i can't for life of me imagine constant 'he chokes' when they lose a game posts happening

True story: it's nba

it just annoys me cause it's damn if he does, damn if he doesn't.

Lebron shoots and misses game winner- choke

lebron plays his game- they win, 'afraid of big shot'

it's like only way to play is by ignoring your teammates and playing iso ball.

That's NOT his game, and ignoring fact he has his own style, which is unique and highly effective is boggling. Appreciate what he does do.

-

I have still yet to see one person here acknowledge fact spurs ball movement is killing miami's defense. Extra pass has continually found an extra shooter. That's not down to lebron's inability to score they are down.

104 points wins most teams for heat. Allowing 114 never wins. Letting danny green take 100 open 3s and set 3 point shooting record is whats killing em

by the way klay thompsons dad is a HUGE dick. He played for 80s lakers w/ magic, and is a lakers play by play guy (has a radio show in LA etc.)

And don't get him started on missed layups -- or, as Mychal and other critics have come to call them: Klay-ups.
"Nobody misses more layups than Klay," Mychal said, smiling. "That's got to change next year."

and my personal fav-

http://believethehypenba.com/2013/02/28/klay-thompsons-dad-takes-away-his-allowance/

saw Klay mixed up in the beginning, tied up with George Hill,” Mychal said. “I say to myself, don’t do nothing stupid now, don’t throw a punch, don’t throw the ball at anybody.”

“Then Roy Hibbert turned his back & [Klay] was like ‘now’s my chance’!”

“I was like ‘you idiot’!”

He then went onto say that he recorded the incident to show his wife Julie who was out at the Cheesecake Factory buying Mychal Thompson some salmon for dinner. When she got home he said, “sit down & watch your dumb son”

coach lebron- :proud:

There's nothing about individual here, it's all about the team. But individually you always want to continue to get better.

Bron v. Melo @ 17-

Carmelo, for as good as he is, to me is a huge disappointment, cause he never got subtleties of team play. Maybe he'll improve, but for one of most stories high school and college players (he had amazing amatuer/youth career) he shoudl be up there in pros.

Clippers/Celts talks ha ve broken down

it's a negotiation ploy by Ainge. Clippers are low balling. IMO I think Clip will eventually do it, but Boston wants a couple things

a) unload a shitty contract like Jason Terry
b) either picks or young cheap attractive player, like Bledsoe.

Senatore_M84 · Jun 18, 2013

Biggest reason Clippers HAVE to do this.

Right now, if it's done, you got CP3 committed to staying and signing 5 year deal (Blakes under contract for atleast 4 more).

Now consider KG has 2 years left and wil retire in 2015 (at latest). His contract is up. You are in 1 of two premier markets, CP3, Blake and players favorite coach- Doc. In 2015 they'd have a lot of space two specific big men available who could replace KG- Marc Gasol or Roy Hibbert.

I wouldn't make this move if I was say Sacramento or Indiana or one of those marketS (no offense), but in LA.... nah you got systemic advantages you gotta use.

-

Not to mention, outside of Duncan, there couldn't be a better big man to work with Blake to reach his potential than KG (admittedly iunno if blake will ever be more than a scorer, and his hype has definitely died down, but he's still useful)

hah, need to give credit to spurs ball movement. Ball moves faster than feet.

but actually little spoken fact to heat's 'model' of how their team is.

all their role players are OLD. Ray allen at 37 cannot close out, Battier lost it, miller literally has a broken back (seriously, look it up)

It's rare you see bosh or lebron's man hit the dagger shot, cause they cloe strong.

Sage · Jun 18, 2013

that punk battier loses it after 1 year, last year he was a beast :fp:

lebron, triple double with 30 points minimum or GTFO

here's hoping wade went to germany :g:

:

battier had been that way for like 10 years. His 2008-9 houston won 22 games w/ yao and tmac hurt (how, no clue). He's 35 :lol:

Everyone hits the wall at some point.

Senatore_M84 · Jun 18, 2013

I fucking close elimination games though.

This will be epic!

Senatore_M84 · Jun 18, 2013

Wade ripping off "Red Tails" :lol:
