QFT

This is stupid as hell. Never in the history of sports has the outcome of the actual contest been put aside EXCEPT for Lebron. Brady just threw for 500 yards a few months ago and got slander. But all that goes out the window with Bron. Makes no sense.

He's the Wilt Chamberlain of this era.

People despise Brady because of his greatness. Why would you use what irrational people think to make a point. Everyone who watched that game is well aware what Brady did aside from making jokes of him dropping the pass. All of the blame went to Belichik.

 

[hand2handking]

so gs not gon improve in the offseason?

This Warriors team looks very beatable and I can see a healthy well-coached Boston team or Houston with PG or Lebron beating them next year. The key is going to be those teams being healthy come playoff time. Heck, even if Lebron and PG went to the Lakers they might compete with this Warriors team.

They just don't seem like the juggernaut they were last season. They just seem sloppy. Is Iggy that important to their success? Are they tired from going to the Finals 4 years in a row? Are they just uninterested?

Also, now I see why KD went to the Warriors, it takes alot of weight off of his shoulders and keeps the heat off him. Everyone is so focused on everything else that he gets a pass for supposedly being the 2nd best player in the league and playing like hot garbage.

To answer your questions....

YES, Iggy is that important to alot of the things they do on Offense and Defense. It is like night and day with him out there, just watch.

In the off-season they need to add one 3 and D guy for the low, I am sure they can get one. This year they are logged with too many bigs that serve no purpose. I actually think they can be better next year with a upgrade at the wing off the bench and a backup pg for the low.

There's a post of you doing the same exact thing for Kobe on this very page.

Well the previous page now.

I can't see what post you're talking about. But if you can find me saying Kobe's L wasn't a L because he played well I'll shut up. Also never seen the national media give Bean a pass if he played well and still took a L and said it doesn't count. Which is essentially what they're doing now.

LOL at the end of the game.

Thompson upset that Livingston didnt take the turnover but took a regular jumper that missed anyways.

Not gonna happen but realistically if Green was suspended two years ago then Thompson (and Love) should be too.

Shouldn't though, that would be dumb

Green was suspended because it was his 4th flagrant foul of the playoffs.

bruh like a mad mom at parent teacher conference.

Is there a gif of this????

Lol oooook. Let me ask you this. When have you ever heard anybody give Brady a pass for losing to the Giants or heard this past February that this doesn't count against Brady at all?

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Interesting

is useless cause they're not calling fouls when he or anyone else drives, but you tap the celtics and all the officials blow their whistles in unison,%@*!%

@ the refs trying to let some %+%# go and then calling that %!+%%%%%.

Pierce just got slashed by Jason

Alright this is the last thing I'm going to say on Game 2's commentary in here. It seems that most of the Celtics fans in here acknowledge that theofficiating was mostly in their favor last night, it seems to me most of the comments are coming from people who's team isn't even the Celtics, and arein either one of two groups Laker/Kobe haters or just basketball fans. And the 'haters' just won't acknowledge that the officiating had ANY effecton the game, it was all the Lakers fault because they're a jumpshooting team.....wait they had more shot attempts and points in the paint; they were softon the glass......wait they only got outrebounded by 1; their defense was lackluster....well for the most part that's true but it was kinda hard to playaggressively when every touch on one end was called. I mean the C's for all their great defense, the Lakers shot 50% from the field and 48% from three, soit's not like the Celtics were beasts last night defensively. For you guys to sit here and call Laker fans crybabies for stating the obvious and then inthe same breath not even acknowledge that the officials had a moderate to big impact on the game is hypocritical.

Just look at the stats for last nights game:

Shooting percentages: Celtics-52.9 Lakers-49.4
3 pointers made: Celtics-9 Lakers-10 (Lakers +3 POINTS)
Rebounds: Celtics-37 Lakers-36
Turnovers: Celtics-15 Lakers-14
Steals: Celtics-7 Lakers-8
and Finally FREE THROWS- Celtics 27 for 38 Lakers 10 for 10 (Celtics +17 POINTS)
Final score Lakers-102 Celtics-108

Why the heck is everything else pretty much even and then the last stat so lopsided in favor of the home team? Hater response 1: It's cause the Lakers wereshooting jumpshots all night and not taking it to the hole. Wrong Lakers points in the paint-40 Celtics-34 and they took more shots in the paint than theCeltics as well.

In conclusion, did they Lakers play a pefect game last night, hell no; there were defensive lapses and poor execution that contributed to that effort and LeonPowe played the game of his life, but were those the ONLY factors that contributed to the Lakers loss last night? Haters and/or basketball fans just answer methat? Did the officiating have and influence on the game at all? Peace, love, and soul.

I swear if the refs call a foul on this, I'm done with the NBA....Magic with 1 team foul the ENTIRE 4th qtr. 17FTA to ZERO!!!!!!!!

when bron retires, these hottakers going to be unemployed unless they want to start going at the warriors

Who the hell is saying the Cavs loss last night didn't count lol?

You want a completely unreasonable take on Lebron for what exactly? Ask yourself, did Brady actually deserve slander for the last SB loss? Any reasonable person would conclude that Brady deserved little to no criticism. If you count memes on Bleacher Report IG as actual criticism than you're really reaching.

I think you really exaggerate how the "media" portrays Lebron sometimes.

 

[casper90403]

if anything, whatever struggles we are seeing out of GSW is just going to make them even stronger next season. They will reload and come back even better.

Preach!

LeStatPad has forced his team to play in an offense that's designed for him to be both scorer and facilitator.Of course he's going to accumulate all of these numbers.

this ***** furious. so mad he could spit

 

[amitt5504]

so gs not gon improve in the offseason?

You can't be serious. Y'all still on this we making **** up? I'm not exaggerating at all. Almost every single show yesterday said at some point verbatim Bron is in a no lose situation. Even if he gets swept and no matter his performance. This loss will not count against him. They've made crystal clear that point.

 

[casper90403]

KG really tweeted that?

 

[hand2handking]

damn now we wishin durant leaves?

 

[addict4sneakers]

I’d love to see Durant leave after this season and stake his own claim.

Maybe even follow the lebron pattern and teammate with an up and coming all star

 

[k3stacks]

so mvp is upset that the media is not putting the blame on lebron?

 

[Clyde Frog]

Lol oooook. Let me ask you this. When have you ever heard anybody give Brady a pass for losing to the Giants or heard this past February that this doesn't count against Brady at all?

Brady has already won so many rings and have so many playoff records that nothing does count against him. He's already at the top in that regard and everything else is just being added on. I mean I just told you Belichik got more blame than Brady. Idk what you want.

Football is a bad comparison anyway. It's a team made up of 3 teams. Rodgers has been getting a pass for a defense letting him down horribly while being entirely out of his control for some time now.

 

[smedroc]

It's def way worse after he loses. Thread is DEAD TING FAM when he loses. Just a few dudes talking and cracking jokes. When he loses dudes just emerge from the bushes like Homer Simpson
