Who was the 4th best player on the Mavs?

Tyson Chandler or Shawn Marion, I guess?

 

[B Sox]

Did Mike Miller and Ray Allen die in 2012? Also, Battier was an elite wing defender.

I believe he's talking about the first 2 years of the Heat run. Ray Allen didn't come until Year 3.

Uhh I've called Bron a bigger Russ on more than one occasion. Difference is when Russ 'stat pads' results in wins way more than losses.

Wins meaning 0 rings? 2 1st round exits?

 

[HIM]

Since y'all always wanna do tiers for **** then let's just say this:

Tier 1 PAB
KD

Tier 2
LeBron



Golden state was going to be the favorite with or without KD last year. LeBron made Miami the favorite.

Damn. Y’all in some bad moods today.

Lebron scores 40+ tonight, but I got the C’s in a close one

Your defense is literally, the Heat weren't good before Bron while ignoring that they were a completely different team with him.

They weren't lol never
07-08 (2nd worst record in the league)
08-09 (lost in 1st round)
09-10 (lost in 1st round)

So a team thats mediocre before LeBron got there lol

The team was completely different as it was a S&T for Bosh and a S&T for Bron. Entire team was basically gutted for those and people like Mike Bibby and Big Z came on for the low low lol

Meanwhile, the Warriors basically replaced Harrison "I lost my powers in the finals" Barnes for KD

LoL but they arent talking about the Mavs. The argument just get dumber by the minute ...

 

[DCAllAfrican]

agreed . Best pf in the east and a top 15 player but not a superstar. Klay and Dray aren't superstars either.

Yea Klay and Dray, outside of the GSW system, aren't selling out arenas on the road with their names alone.

They are very good basketball players but again, lack the STAR power to be considered a superstar.

If you are a superstar, the fat old lady from Alabama that never watches basketball should know who you are. That fat lady never knew who Bosh's was. Nor Klay/Dray

 

[T0INE]

Ugh, see y'all for Game 2

One player is IMMENSELY more efficient than the other. LeBron is literally better than him in every facet of the game.

That doesn't make him a "bigger version" of Russ.

Chu mean?

Bron got 3 rings, a bunch of finals and Russ been eliminated in the 1st rd the past 2 years.

 

[keko jones]

Maybe we have different definitions of what a SUPERstar is but I wouldn't call Bosh one at any point in his career. He was a very good basketball player (All-Star Level) but his star power wasn't at an ELITE Level. (I factor that in there as well).

Ok, I'll give you that

Lebron and DWade = KD and Steph
Bosh = Klay

Let's not forget these Lebron stans were the same saying Klay or Green couldn't be a 1st option in another team. Watch them say he is a superstar

Lmao with two possible hall of famers too

 

[Cashflow]

Which version of LeFraud shows up tonight?

 

[casper90403]

can ya'll slow down in here? I don't want to miss anything but i procrastinated and have 12 employee reviews to right up and can't keep up. This is like a yeezy thread.

This here is why I dont give a **** about KD going to the Warriors. If he doesn't, the argument is "he cant be as good as lebron because he hasnt won"

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

You dont get cutty post in
3...2....1

 

[nick.]

Russ been eliminated in the 1st rd the past 2 years.

0 Finals losses tho

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Which version of LeFraud shows up tonight?

Nice way to cut the tensions

0 Finals losses tho

Is that true?

 

[B Sox]

Damn. Y’all in some bad moods today.

Lebron scores 40+ tonight, but I got the C’s in a close one

My prediction as well. Too much evidence in the past of bounce back games from Bron.

I think there are still a lot of mismatches that the C's can exploit though, and the home court advantage has definitely been an asset to them.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

0 Finals losses tho

Showing your age here bro bro

 

[B Sox]

0 Finals losses tho

Well....he does have that one...

 

[BIG FISH]

0 Finals losses tho

Actually.....
