Official 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Conference Finals: Warriors / Thunder | Cavs / Raptors

[Lovetohate3000]

what's wrong with this. Not like they had a game at 6 in the morning.

 

[deekaleci]

Teams up 3-1 on the road in the conference finals only win game 5 41% of the time but have won 90% of those series.

kinda scared to believe the warriors could take this in 7

forum post on mj from 96:

Michael Jordan is not the best player to play game. In fact he was always
an overatted player. The only reason his PPG was so high was he is such
a BALLHOG. He is always taking contested double team shots insted of
passing to open teammates. Sure he hit a couple of great shots to win
series(Cleavland), but if he wasn't such a BALLHOG he wouldn't had to
take the game winning shots. This year just proves my point, his first
game back he takes 30 SHOTS???? Come on, he isn't that good, if anyone
should have been taking 30 shots that game, it should have been Reggie
Miller. He may have won three championships, but the 3 teams the Bulls
beat weren't that great. The Lakers were at the end of their Showtime
era and without Kareem and with Vlade when they were beet by the bulls.
The Portland Trail Blazers were show-stoppers either, the best team they
may have beaten was Phoenix. I would have liked to seen them beat some of
the Celtic, Laker, and Piston teams of the 1980's in finals.

**** could damn near be a post from 2016

Scottie Pippen and John Paxson seem to be the only Bulls'
players who don't look towards Jordan before taking a shot themselves !
It seems to me that Jordan intimidates his teammates more than he
intimidates his opponents. That is prob the biggest difference
between Magic and Jordan ! Why is it that guys like Orlando
Woolridge, James Edwards .. . start playing well when they play
for the Lakers/Pistons/Celts while decent/good prospects rarely pan
out for the Bulls ? [Ed Lor recently posted an excellent article on
this issue]. The Bulls lack a player who can get the
whole team involved in the game.

Which one of you NBA thread regulars went back in time to post these?

Thunder by 9 tonight

Draymond Illegal Screen got more 1st team all nba votes than Kevin Durant. #coastmediabias The 2 writers who gave KD 3rd team votes should have their pens and MacBooks stripped from them and be banned from every Starbucks nationwide

[OTG]

before the bulls won 72:

I am sick and tired of reading disgusting newsposts that jock jordon.
jordon is not a good player, and the bulls are not a good team,and this
is why:

Best Current NBA Players:
1)Patrick EWing: Ewing is a better defender than Jordan, has better moves,
gets more rebounds,blocks, and doesn't ballhog the ball, Ewing is a team
palyer.
2)Grant Hill- Grant Hill is better than jordon and has better moves.
Grant is better offensively and defensively, and likes to pass the ball
around. Grant Hill is an annual threat to be the scoring leader.
3)Glenn Robinson- Robison is a better scorer than Jordan , and a better
defender. When Robison plays against the foolish bulls, he makes jordon
foolish and weak and makes jordon whimper about not having team support
and good team chemistry. If Glenn played during the preseason last year,
he would have had developed his skills much better and would have
challenged for the scoring title.Due to contract negotiations , that
didn't happen, but it will happen in the near future and jordan will
never again become the scoring leader.
4)Jerry Stackhouse- Jerry is quicker and has better moves than jordon,
and if given enough playing time will rank high in the NBA leaders in
scoring and field goal percentage.
5)Juwon Howard- Howard is a team player, unlike Jordan, with his
scoring,rebounding and passing.
6)Chris Webber- Webber is a very,very,much better all-round player than
jordan with his sccoring,rebounding,assists,steals,and blocks, and
should be high up there in NBA scoring leaders.
7)Hakeem Olajuwon-Hakeem is better than jordon and is much quicker.He
plays better defense,and rebounds and PASSES well, and blocks shots.Last
season, Hakeem had a higher scoring average that jordon.
Joe Smith- Smith has better scoring talents than jor-done and is a
better defender.
9)Anfernee Hardaway- Penny is quicker and better than jor-done ,passes
the ball, and rebounds better. Last season in the playoffs, Penny
dominated jordone and the bullies.
10)Shaquille O'neal- enough said.
11)Rasheed Wallace- Rasheed has better passing,scoring,and rebounding
skills than jor-done.
12)Karl Malone-Karl is a more consistent scorer than jor-done, and is
great in rebounding.
13)Derrick Coleman-Coleman is poised for a big season, and will display
much more of his unlimited potential and make jor-done look clumsy and
foolish.
14)Latrell sprewell- Spree has better scoring talents than jor-done, and
if he didn't have great scorers on his tem such as Chris Mullin and Tim
Hardaway and etc., he could have averaged 30 ppg this season and do it
year after year.
15)Shwan Kemp- Kemp has a better power game than jor-done and is great in
passing,rebounding,stealing and shooting.
16)David Robinson-Robinson had a higher ppg average last season than
jor-done and a much better field goal percentage.

the list goes on and on, so don't count on jor-done as being the best
player because there are better players than him.

  **** really hasnt changed.
