2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[junglejim]

There is something satisfying about seeing a dude chase rings for 70% of his eventual 20 year career and only get 3. Basketball gods raining buckets of **** on lebron for his b move twice.

 

[Based Jesus]

With that triple double he would have passed Magic for most in Finals history. LeStatpadder

At least he'll get the consolation prize of passing MJ in Finals points even though it took him 2 more trips to do so.

Bron got too greedy and wanted the record and the win and lost both

I would love to go back to 2010 or even 2011 to see y'all being hypocrites on the qualifiers for who's the best player in the league.

Y'all the ones who made the rules up. Y'all the ones who beating ya chest talking bout Lebby been the best in the league for a decade. Y'all the one who hyped him up as still being a two way player. Yet somebody is legit out outplaying him on both ends of the floor, has been close with him for at the very least for the last 3 seasons and you don't want to believe your eyes.

When the other greats time was up at the throne it was obvious and the deference was made, respect given and torch passed. Seems that the resistance will ultimately be futile to the witness trying to hold on.

Sidenote: Bron really about to get dusted by a record margin in the Finals...AGAIN.

How is KD eligible when he's doing the exact same thing he was doing in OKC? Yet all the while Lebron still achieves accolades and breaks milestones? KD got a long way before he is even near a whiffs distance of Lebron. KD basically has the exact same type of team he had in OKC before Sam Presti blew that spit up minus a deep bench, but even GSWs bench isnt super deep BUT deeper than KD's early OKC days.

KD is on the cusp of his first ring. Lebron has three. So if you want to debate rings, he's got a long way to go.

Stats wise, Lebron is lightyears ahead of KD. Still a long way for KD to go even get on that level.

KD aligning with GSW does not mean he just somehow ascended to greatness when he's not doing anything different. He's just on a different team.

Stop listening to Pauline Pierce, he full of lies. The only truth is that he's a bonafide Lebron hater.

You mean David Stern?

What was your opinion of LeBron James circa 2010?

 

[Peep Game]

TT.... still waiting on that "wrestling match"

Thompson is this year's Harrison Barnes, it's incredible

 

[mrdozo]

why did Kyrie wait for game 3 to play like this?

No one else was making shots besides Lebron & Kyrie.

Shump & JR committing stupid fouls. R.Jefferson out-hustling both of those busters.

Why doesnt D.Will get more playing time? Is it a ticker problem with him (no heart) ?
The downfall of D.Will amazes me. Dude hasnt been the same since he left the Jazz.

 

[getback]

Bron having damn near GOAT finals performances and no one's even gonna remember it

 

 

[kdslittlebro]

People keep saying this but it's just not true.  There's a reason dynasties or even repeats are rare.  Things can go sideways quick in the NBA and things change fast.

This ain't your typical situation though

 

[lamekilla]

Warriors bout to finish the series so fast, Spider-Man ain't gonna get to watch

 

[MVP]

Empty stats

Did you watch the game last night, or any game in this series? He's looked like NBA Brock Osweiler

 

[Based Jesus]

 

He's a big kid trapped in a NBA phenom's body. Dude goes from chasing the ghost that played in Chicago to it's just basketball. You served some 3-1 cookies at Halloween patna, why you out here losing

Forgot ​about the cookies

This is why I don't feel sorry for him. He does a lot of sideways ****, then wants to play the victim.

People had to step over a Steph Curry effigy to get in the door and I think the band was called 3-1 win or something like that 

Had dubs done anything remotely similar to how disrespectful that party was Bron woulda never shut up about how much of a family man he is 

 

[Tony $now]

Why would pg want to go to Cleveland?

Exactly, unless it's an aging vet, I can't see prime guys willing to go to do the following:

Go to Cleveland of all places
Take a massive pay cut
Win, but allow Lebron to get all the credit when they do so, and deflect the blame when they lose to "his guys"
Have to worry about Bron dipping next off season and leaving you there to hold the bag

Bron already finessing these dudes by having them sign with his sports agency

 

[ihust1e]

Son really said give Deron Williams more play time

incredible stuff 

 

[100027]

This ain't your typical situation though

Sure but like...  neither was Shaq and Kobe.  Neither was the Big 4 in Boston.  Neither was Kobe/Odom/Pau/Bynum even.  Of course the Warriors might (might) be better than all those teams but it takes luck to win every year.  They haven't even had a repeat yet.

Derrick Williams

DWill has been terrible this series.  Absolutely terrible.

D Will lost his heart when he found out he got traded from watching ESPN

 

[getback]

@ someone saying D-Will should get more burn

 

[MVP]

I'm almost positive he's talking about the Derrick, not Deron.

 

[friscostylez]

16-0

 

[krazy88s]

DWill's demise began when he elected not to surgery on his ankles.

 

[getback]

I'm almost positive he's talking about the Derrick, not Deron.

I don't think so. He mentioned him not being the same since leaving the Jazz.

 

[Based Jesus]

I'm almost positive he's talking about the Derrick, not Deron.

Derrick Williams was never high enough to have a downfall. Don't remember him playing for the Jazz either.
