A King Asks For Seconds & A Chef Obliges: Official Warriors vs. Cavs 2016 NBA FINALS Thread

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):









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.







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:




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?






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?

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.

Its only useless because you lost. Nowhere did I say or imply anything about what round is worse. You are too emotional to even understand what was even being said. I guess thats what happens when you look up to a guy who was professed to be thee Chosen One and he ends up with 4 losses and end up being the Phony One.

Doesn't realize that Magic, Kareem, and Wilt all have 4 Finals losses too, and they're often regarded as 3 of the top 5 players in NBA history. Jerry West is the damn NBA logo and he has EIGHT Finals losses.




You still haven't answered my challenge from your earlier comment. Do you believe that John Havlicek is better than Jerry West? Because almost no one who knows anything about the NBA believes that crap, yet Havlicek was 8-0 in Finals and West was 1-8.

Amazing how difficult it is to identify who is trolling.


You tripled-down on your claim in the same paragraph that you claim not to have made it.


If you really believe that losing in the Finals isn't worse than losing in other rounds, then why the hell are you saying he "ends up with 4 losses" as if it means anything whatsoever?

Kobe lost 15 times. Kobe lost 11 of the 13 times that he didn't have Shaq leading the team. But somehow you ignore that are are obsessed with Finals losses...proving over and over again that you think losing in the Finals is worse than losing in earlier rounds.

Amazing how difficult it is to identify who is trolling and who is really just that dumb.

Kareem and Magic also have 6 and 5 wins in the finals. Thats the difference. Its hilarious that it needs to be explained to you. At being called king when you have 4 finals losses and just 2 wins.

Early check game 1 check in

 

[MikelArteta]

Hope the cavs win

 

[McPiff]

And you wonder why dudes "" for this team?

SMH.

Well yeah.

The thunder defeat Has more to do with Durant and Sabo not sticking to what worked in games 3 and 4 than the warriors playing way above them.
The ISO/hero ball taking over is what cost the thunder the series.

I don't think so.. I saw gsw protect the painted areas.. Adam couldn't move anymore.. and game 6 was a series of klay 3s and turnovers and uncalled fouls..

Hawks are a great defensive team but that lack of anybody to really throw at Lebron is huge IMO. For the most part Lebron has had free reign the last two rounds to get anywhere he wants on the court and be able to dictate the offense a lot more. I think Iggy gives him legit problems and Klay will be able to make it a little more difficult for Kyrie. I see that being enough of a difference to make the Cavs nowhere near as efficient. Not to mention they have been red hot from three and it scares me that they've relied so heavily on three point shooting. If they can't keep up that shooting the long rebounds can lead to a lot of Warriors run outs. I think their best chance to beat the Warriors will not be to keep shooting as many threes as they have been through the playoffs. I don't see them getting the same looks. Against Toronto it bothered me that their answer to the threes not dropping was to shoot more of them.

Which is why I would start Andre. If you start Barnes, LeBron will do that freelance shyt and get steals and wreck your offensive sets. Iggy somehow always gives James issues.

 

[James Worthy]

Kyrie: Aye 'Bron

Bron: What?

*Kyrie sings* : Don't listen to what people say...

 

[Formerly known as...]

[Fortunate Lee]

We finally here

first game will be a classic

I dont see bron doin some retarded shyt like kd and russ were doin in close games.

Jon B gon come out shootin tho

 

[fifth column]

Because the Warriors are not as well-rested coming into this finals. (The Cavs are healthy and rested.)

something about Curry's knee is only 73.8% recovered something something

GSW takes a lotta ill-advised long shots from half court. Wishful thinking and visualization and havng faith in the smash brothers only gets ya so far. OK. Last year it got ya pretty damn far.

Lately, the Warriors require 2 quarters to warm up enough that their serendipitous 3 pointers fall consistently. GSW, activate!

Curry is smaller than Lebron. Curry will cross you outta your shoes and socks. Lebron will just tackle you and not get called for his football fukk shyt.

GSW loves to play from behind and then wup up on ya in the final quarter. The shyt is high-risk behavior, man.

The best shooters on the Warriors team are light-skinned. Lebron is not. Darker-skinned ppl are tougher. Draymond Green demonstrated this concept (against Adams' nuts) so that you would not have to go thru that.

News flash, the Warriors are trying to repeat
