Helps when he gets bailed out by bullshit flagrant calls. That one against Lance was criminal.
How anyone can say LeBron isn't the best player in the league is beyond me
Can we just fast forward to Warriors/Rockets? Jazz and Pelicans don’t stand a chance
My 5-year old and I were just discussing this very problem in regards to me rooting for the Sixers.
The fact that he's still in the league and very active is another discussion to be had as well.
He looked like he was mailing it shooting well over 50% and going for 30-40+ nearly every game?
Think he called MJ for advice on what to do if he goes down in round 1, since MJ did it 3 times?
while I'm getting to you after the fact AND am a Cavs' fan my answer was no....Never thought Indiana was doomed in the series, until about 10 seconds were left.
And I'll admit I hate those end of quarter step back 3s he takes....even worse when it's a step back deep 2.
And it's not like he's beaten up on all patsies (though many have been 7-8 seeds at .500 or below. Had some early series against Washington that had many close games....able to end them in 6, though.
First, they called it a tech, which I thought was odd, second, hitting a guy in the head and not going for the ball is the definition of a flagrant. If you don't like the rule, that's another matter.
They all flop, though he's not bad at it. Must admit the guy gets hit every time he goes to the hoop though. Every time.
Stevens needs to be high up in conversation, but I do like Snyder.
Compared to shooting 30 or 40 times it is. Just not a fan of Russ, and I'm not biased against him or anything either. Literally, not connections to him negative or positive. He just doesn't seem like a smart basketball player.
Yea, kinda goes both ways. He does get fouled hard a lot, more than anyone not named Shaq. But at the same time, he overreacts to very minuscule calls or fouls. Fouls or calls that wouldn't bother anyone but him, because he's LeBron and he thinks he deserves every call.
I agree. Pacers had their chances and just didn't capitalize. My post about whether their fate was predetermined was made to SIhoosiers. Since he didn't answer within the telling timeframe, we can never know for sure what he believed.
I wouldn't say he overreacts to miniscule calls, but he does go to the ground often on "normal" foul calls. Worthy of being called a foul, but not to act like he got shot.
I get it man you love Cleveland and Lebron sh!ts rainbow sherbert. You saw him deferring to his teammates in instances earlier in that Indiana series before him having to have mammoth games to win the series. It took taking the Pacers 7 games in the 1st round. I wouldn't get too confident and uppity. The Eastern Conference has fallen apart at the top where Boston with their "B" squad and Philly are your only real competition. He was also over 30 points in 4 of the 7 games.
I do love your replies when I easily refute your commenbts with logic, facts, and reason. So predictable.
Is "you love Lebron" in some form set up as your default comment in these instances?
and, no, I don't love Lebron. But I'm able to appreciate his greatness....just as I was when he left, as well. Doesn't mean I could not live without his drama queen, narcissistic antics. Calling his teammates my guys as often as he does. Saying I when he should probably say we.
Please feel free to find one quote of me being "uppity or "too confident" that the Cavs would win any series or take the East.
Never change, my man. You are pure comedy.
Nah...not sure if you do DK, but tougher to get as many of the top guys in there as it is in FD. I had Lebron.
Been playing DK for years. Way better than FD. Profitable, but NBA is rough, no doubt. Baseball and golf been the best to me.
And AD will have huge ownership. So I think it’s a contrarian play. And I like it.
I think you'll get a split between AD and Lebron. Nearly everyone will have one of them I would think with only 2 games.
NBA definitely a crapshoot. Guys who crack me up are the ones who think it's all about their research more than luck. I'll say it's about 90% luck in the playoffs. what research? Teams play the same team for a couple weeks. For the most part, lineups and defensive matchups don't change. I remember looking after 4 games and nearly every player had 2 good to great games and 2 bad or awful.
I do think baseball's an even bigger crapshoot. I don't play unless it's a freebie.
So much of it is built around guys w low ownership. A while back I read some nerd write something about stacking the worst team every night in baseball. Rinse, repeat. That’s a simple way of looking at it, but rings true. You just have to be prepared to lose a lot, but when you win big you’ll crush. Problem is, people don’t like to lose over and over, bubut it’s almost what it takes. I play all tournaments, no cash. Single entries when I can. And while I’m up like 6-7K lifetime, I’ve two buddies that been playing w me since beginning and neither near profitability. It ain’t easy. Fun as hell tho.
I stacked the Rays last night. LOSER.
What's funny is most will tell you bankroll management is crucial and you must play cash far more than gpp. I tell ya I cannot for the simple fear of nailing a 50-50 that could have won me 100K in a tourney.
I'm definitely hooked, though I'll take a break between NBA and football.
Totally agree w 50/50. That’ll be the night you drop 400 in NBA DK, no doubt. Ha.
