ESPN is dumping Knicks games from their NBA schedule. http://dlvr.it/83VYZL

Can TNT not change the games on its schedule like ESPN can? I guess not since most of the time the TNT games are the only ones being played on Thursday.

nope just because of that it usually the only thursday games
 
I don't even consider miami an outlier considering they had bosh sliding his feet on pick and rolls and Birdman defending the paint.

They would've never got that second ring without birdman. He was exactly what they needed and they picked him up out the lost and found
 
Kawhi relatively locked down Lebron

But the Spurs have Duncan and Splitter too

"locked down"

huh

28 pts, 8 rebs, 4 ast, on 57% fg shooting, 51% from 3?

thats locked down to you? :lol

that's not even relatively locked down


:lol

You know damn well those werent Lebron's stats when Kawhi was guarding him

And most of Lebrons points came in garbage time

Do I need to post videos or bring the stats when Kawhi was guarding him for ummpenth time? :lol

If Lebron was really balling anywhere like those stats, the Heat wouldnt got blown out so bad

O_O ME? MAD LEBRON LEFT? lol u dont even go into the heat thread at all. Its not even worth addressing how wrong you are.
ain't even that serious man... 

I was just being sarcastic ..... putting you in that group of Heat fans that discredit all Lebron did because he left  

I don't know u like that

You're better than that

There was a clear difference when LeBron was guarded by Leonard. Can't just use his overall stats to prove anything, especially since there were 4 blowouts out of 5 games

Only 19 percent of James' touches against Leonard in the Finals resulted in a James field goal attempt. Against all other defenders, that rate jumped to 33 percent. 

LeBron was held without a touch on 33 percent of the Heat's possessions when he was guarded by Leonard. Against all other defenders, he was held without a touch 23 percent of the time.

And? When was the last time a team gave up two first rounders in a desperate move to get a guy known for his perimeter defense (and nothing else)?


Yes, desperation brought on by the realization that they could not really compete for an Eastern title, let alone a NBA title, without better rim protection.

Couldve easily signed a free agent or just waited until the draft & got a valuable big late in the first
 
we dont use common sense and eyeball test anymore?
kawhi did a great job, along with help from his teammates. no doubt, lebron had to work for his shots especially kawhi
great player like Belron is gonna get his regardless, but it was pretty obvious he had trouble

Still hurdles to clear, I'm told, for Boston to consummate Jeff Green deal. But Grizz, at present, are most serious suitor for Celts forward

Hearing that the Jeff Green-to-Memphis trade talks are heating up. Discussions between the Celts and Grizz, I'm told, getting more serious

I was hoping the Clippers would look at trading for Green, but Memphis has much more to offer for him than we do.

1. yes Kawhi was good but he didn't lock him down, the pacers did a better job of that. The heats problem was not scoring in that series. and Kawhi's defense was not the difference maker in the series or

2. but this is precisely my overall point, it is really easy to reduce the impact of a great perimeter defensive player.
