this is why once again they will most likely try to stay at home on shooters and force lebron to beat them 1 on 1.

kyrie needs to step his facilitating game up for this series and take that load off bron.

the only way they can win is to make it rain from 3 :blessed:

@Zema is setting 'women who want to talk sports' back 500 years. Or maybe that's its intent.

@Zema and @Ms. Elaine are both WPOTY candidates
You ain't the first to say she single handedly reinforces every negative stereotype about women and sports. Yeah that Elaine one is gonna be 6000 in the red at her pace by December. Last year she claimed the league sent the nypd to attack sefalosha so that the cavaliers could beat the Hawks if he was out of the lineup. The year before she tried to claim Kobe and Carmelo were both better than LeBron and KD, as well as try to argue Cole Aldrich was better than joakim noah. She's the only poster who rivals swagnificent in the way of truly horrid posting quality.

The Passage of Time
Warriors in 5, Last year matters not because the Cavs didn't have Kevin or Kyrie. It matters only because it taught the Warriors how to win and that is all that matters. You see the mental toughness that teams play with and they are relentless in there pursuit of winning the series. The Cavs is a frontrunning team, and they don't play well when the games are close. Detroit played them well, but didn't have the talent and didn't know how to win. Atlanta was clueless and Toronto fed off the home crowd and some hot hands, but they didn't know how to win. The Cavs haved faced teams with below average talent and IQ.

In the words of Money May "Easy Work".

As a basketball fan that has a head for the game how can you think that the Cavs are favored to win this series. :what:

most basketball heads wouldn't have thought the warriors would go down 3-1 to the thunder but it happened. even the last 3 games they had to dig themselves out of a hole. their still seems to be something off with them right now. I still think the series is favored 60-40 for the warriors but they've been so up and down lately the shyt is worrisome. I think both these teams at their best the warriors win in 6 at the most:yeshrug:......but this whole take it easy then come back to win shyt isn't gonna cut it this series. if they're god mode warriors they should take this series comfortably.

:rudy:

You can't mention or highlight any women on The Coli who are "setting" themselves back 500 years discussing sports, without including yourself first.

Perma ban bet. Quote me where I said losing earlier is better. You down?

It's a useless bet, because you've proven repeatedly that you're too dumb to understand your own argument. Over and over again. For instance (I didn't even quote all of them):


Yup. Bron stans calling a 4 time finals loser, "king". The audacity.

All that, and still, 5-2>>>>>2-4.

And still, being 5-2 in the finals is better than being 2-4. Unless you can explain why its not.


That argument ONLY works if losing in the 1st round is better than losing in the Finals. Otherwise, you have to say that Kobe is 5-15 (and 2-11 without Shaq) and Lebron is 2-10. Not counting their 1st-round losses against them, then quoting their Finals record alone as if Finals losses are more damaging than 1st-round losses, is implicitly claiming that losing earlier is better.

So go ahead, permaban yourself. But you won't, because you're too stupid to even realize what you're saying.



1. Look at the names I mentioned, I'm talking about more modern meaning late 90s- current 2000s, which LeBron is apart of and yes the names I mentioned have those exact finals numbers along with other within the same timeline been. Wilt Kareem and Jerry played I'm early eras. Some would argue it's harder to reach the finals now than then

:dwillhuh:

The lying here is incredible. You didn't mention any names at all in the post I quoted....and you specifically said, "every major HOFer", which makes it obvious that you were NOT talking about the 1990s/2000s because those guys for the most part haven't even been inducted into the HOF yet!

This was your quote:

LeBron has 7 finals appearances and if he loses hes 2-7 in terms of wins and losses looking at ever major HOFer with finals wins and theyre the finals MVP or main contributor their record is untarnished...and I'm saying nikkas only lost on the finals 1-2 times MAX on multiple appearances


Yeah, try and spin that like you were ONLY talking about Duncan/Shaq/Jordan and not Magic/Kareem/Wilt/West/etc. And talking like "Magic played in a different era than Jordan so he doesn't count" begins to get ridiculous. Are you also going to claim that Dirk/Hakeem/Wade/etc. are "major HOFers", but, say, Malone and Drexler are not?




25 11 and 7 with a super team:russell:whats your point? If LeBron averaged less they still would have won regardless you have arguably one of the best PFs in the league who can shoot 3s and a HOFer SG.

You do realize that Bosh didn't score ANYTHING in the deciding game and only averaged 11.9ppg for the series, right?

That Mario Chalmers was the PG (11 and 2 on 38% shooting) and the team basically didn't even have a center?

That Mike Miller (5ppg) started most of the Finals games and Udonis Haslem (1ppg) started the rest?



That in the pivotal Game 7, outside of Chris Anderson's one basket there was only four guys on the Heat who scored at all, and one of those 4 was 35-year-old Shane Battier? :dwillhuh:

Outside of Lebron/Battier, the entire Heat team only had 40 points 27 rebounds and 9 assists, shot 18-51 from the field, 1-14 from three, and 3-8 from the line...and won the deciding Game 7!!!!

They needed every bit of Lebron's 37-12-4 on 12-23, 5-10, and 8-8 shooting in that game.

Let's repeat that again:

Wade/Bosh/Chalmers/Allen/Miller/Anderson/Haslem: 40-27-9 combined on 51 shots
Lebron: 37-12-4 on 23 shots


Or let's go back to the previous game, where Lebron put up 32-10-11 in an overtime game that they only won by 3. 17-4-4 in the 4th/overtime, including the 3 that cut the Spurs' lead to 2 in regulation and the go-ahead basket in overtime. Chalmers had 20 and 2 and Wade was 14-4-4 on 6-15 shooting in that game....otherwise, no one else on the Heat had more than 12 points or 2 assists.


Or the 33-11-4 in the Game 4 blowout that tied the series. Beat the Spurs by 16 despite only 5 guys on your team scoring more than once.


Even in the losses....Lebron put up an 18-18-10 and the Heat almost won the first game (Lebron had 6 in the final 3 minutes to cut the Spurs lead to 2 before Parker hit the jumper to ice it) even though no one else on his entire team put up more than 17 points, 5 boards, or 4 assists.


Overall, Lebron averaged 12 ppg in the 4th quarter of the Heat's 4 wins...even though one of them was a blowout that he sat down early.

Acting like Lebron's numbers weren't huge in that series or that the Heat didn't need every bit of it is idiocy.
