[papichino]

LeBron really likes to act like people were saying he’d turn into a bum if he came out West. What people really said is that he wouldn’t cake-walk to the Finals every year in the West like he did in the East.

cuh

 

[MVP]

He tries to make it personal about him all the time and he acts like he's out there alone and doesn't have another top 5 guy next to him which is the real catalyst for the turnaround for this season. He WAS in the West last season and missed the playoffs that did actually happen. He did crow about activating and still within striking distance proceed to go 3-11 or something like that.

Now if he directed his ire at the media this season, none of whom thought the Lakers would be as good as they ended up being for the regular season, he'd be 100% accurate. But to put this as a pelt on the #revengeszn wall seems more than a bit disingenuous and premature.

today's slate. boston/miami and houston/portland should entertain.

RoCo is a dog like Russ and he doesn't quit. So when Gordon gets healthy does he start or are they keeping house in? I would lean to keeping Gordon as the 6th man

house should continue to start to spread the scoring out. have gordon run with russ in the second unit for now. imo, gordon is going to be in trade talks this offseason for a floor spacing big. I'm thinking someone in the mold of Aron Baynes, Dario Saric, or Nemanja Bjelica.

edit to add: Serge Ibaka, Juancho Hernangomez.

 

[amitt5504]

My PF with the court vision

 

[atransta]

Serge comes to the rockets as a free agent

edit: i don't even know if he is or not after this season

 

[P C H]

We mentioned this a few weeks ago in here but I don't think the argument was ever whether or not Lebron could win games in the west.

He's literally sayin "They said I couldn't do it" and the season isn't even over, let alone the playoffs.

It's really quite the victory lap considering the offs haven't even started yet.

If they win the chip, they can legit go off though. Not many ppl picked them to win it this year, and even going into the bubble barely anyone did.

 

[pums]

They had the highest title odds going into the bubble

@dcallamerican

Damn this a blast from the past...I remember the buzz around yo in the city at the time, was funny cuz nobody knew bout his team or even what league they played in

Not referring to the betting odds. The media prognosticators which still overwhelming have picked the Clippers or Bucks to win it all. Same from the preseason.

Lebron always doing too much instead of just letting some things be

like with the MVP narrative for this season and having his people push that.. he’s not the MVP and a strong aspect to him potential being that was giannis hurting his knee and seemingly about to miss time, but he got time to get healthy.. ain’t no shame to being second

but dude’s hair situation kinda speak volumes to me.. ain’t like dude is dealing with a Jeremy piven type situation.. he could just go with the baldy and call it that, embrace it for what it is and be glad you can pull it off

 

[friscostylez]

Historically, L3-6ron has rewritten history to fool others to help improve his legacy. St8 sucka **** if you ask me.

 

[BIG FISH]

Aren’t vegas odds influenced by who people are putting money on.

almost no “experts” have picked the Lakers to win the title.

bingo. vegas odds just reflect the money coming in.

 

[frshstunna]

Look at Bron front running again lol

Bron been trying to create a narrative with this top seed thing and idk why ...Ppl def said he couldn’t take “any” team to the playoffs or make all those straight finals in the west, but only the super haters doubted that he could have a good team in the conference ...He ain’t eem care bout seeding in years until recently

 

[pmatic]

That's a crazy stat.

 

[HIM]

there were a couple possessions where Goober caught the ball 17 ft from the basket and spent the next ~5 seconds desperately trying to find someone to give to. No dribbles, no nothing. Teams gotta stop paying these Centers that can’t do anything on one side of the ball. DeAndre, Capela, French Plague. These dudes at anywhere near the max are holding you back. 25 mil for a guy who makes you play 4 on 5 on offense most of the time.

 

[ahat]

I been told yall

**** gobert

 

[MVP]

Question in the 8 & 9 seeding games seeing as teams are going to be at different records given not everyone has played the same amount of games, they are going by winning percentage, correct?

Several reps...congrats.
