I CANT BELIEVE IM ROOTING FOR THE CAVS...

[OG_StankBrefs]

Is it Heat Nation or Swagaliers nikka? One Mic or Shorty Owe You For Ice?

nikka went from a Cavs fan, to a Heat fan, back to a Cavs fan because of following another man's career choices

FOH

shyt's been made clear from day one I'm a Bron fan. Yes, he is mah favorite basketball player. Guilty as charged.

Neva been some dark kept secret, nikka. Its pretty well documented, breh.

Lmao why do you nikkas continue to think pointin out dat da sky is blue when err body already fukkin knows it is sposed to do somethin?

No I am talking about the ones who not only stayed in the game but built a lead on GS while Bron was in the midst of shooting 3-20. You do realize there are two ends of the court right? We gonna act like team defense hasn't been huge? We've seen Bron play better than this and lose because teammates didn't step up.

YUP...LEBRON WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE DOWN THE STRETCH, BUT CLEVELAND STILL MANAGED TO WIN. HE BETTER THANK GOD THAT STEPH WAS HAVIN SUCH A TERRIBLE NIGHT.

I could be wrong, but I think @Newzz is tryna say that it makes no sense to say that you should root for Lebron because he's black, because almost every superstar in the NBA is Black. He pointed out Steph Curry who's on the opposing team and he's Black. So if somebody wants to root for Steph Curry instead of Lebron, they're still rooting for #BlackExcellence

I get what he's saying because we touched on that when it came to boxing when posters on this board were saying nikkas should be rooting for Floyd Mayweather, but yet they ain't rooting for any other Black fighters.

Just my 2 cents though, carry on

OP was referring to Bron, thus I was referring to da OP's topic...Bron.

Pretty simple. Not one word of mine stated anything more or less. Wasn't talkin about nobody else except da person of conversation.

It was ya boy who took it ,mutated it, and ran it off da cliff into somethin else.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I can't stand #BlackExcellence posts only used in reference to 1 individual. Steph Curry is black, is the MVP of the league, and just led the Warriors to some place they haven't been since the 70s.

That's #BlackExcellence as well, but stans don't get it

So you didn't quote someone saying that he can't root for Lebron because of the fact he's a Bulls fan, by responding to him with "#BlackExcellence supersedes all that"

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

Before this series started, the warriors were the team i wanted to root. Kunta kinte.

Now that the supposed super team that brong built is deconstructd and no longer voltron status...


Im actually seeing if the king can pull it off... Prom dress after the dance.

nikka, why are you actin like you fukkin brand new to da coli right now?

fukkin serious wit dis silly ass bullshyt?

Dis has got to be one of da most forced, unnecessary, arbirtray attempts at an argument I've ever been dragged into on dis mufukka.

Lol fukkin ridiculous.

*edit* And where is dis same passion when brehs throw out dem light skin/dark skin jabs or comments? You don't say shyt about none of dat. No attempts at G checkin none of dat shyt tho right? But all of a sudden you decide to zero in on mah shyt? Cmon, breh.


Lol Keep it 100, Only reason you decided to do it now was because it was in reference to Bron. Dat's how I know dis entire graspin of ya pearls shyt is fugazi.

FOH

It also annoys me the way the analytics geeks on the blogs bust a nut for them after EVERY win they have in the playoffs.

The way they play is an analytics geeks wet dream.

I fukking hate those motherfukkers. If they coached a team they would be on a clear path fast break with a wide open lay up and nobody there and tell them to run to the corner and shoot a 3 on some "well we believe that during a series of investigations and analytical data analysis that since the corner 3 is much shorter, we want that shot 7 out of 8 times blah blah blah'

I don't even like basketball no more. But LeBron makes you want to watch. I hope he gets more rings than Jordan

Lol doubt he's gonna get more rings than Jordan but he's definitely carvin out his own place in history next to da otha GOATs like Kobe, Magic, Bird n em.

Lebron win a title in Cleveland and that whiteboy with the glasses from Dont Be a Menace gonna spring into action and get the homie caught up in some shyt he just cannot control

And how often has this happened? This is nothing but a manufactured talking point by people looking to take away from his ridiculous efficiency the last 3 years. Point blank there is nothing beneficial about missed shots no matter how people may want to spin it..

That's because you're looking at it from the perspective of the direct effect it has on the team from the box score. It goes beyond that.

Take this for example - Clippers/Rockets Game 7, the Clippers were down by 20 points in the 4th quarter and Paul only had 17 points on 14 shots. He allowed the Rockets to take a 20-point lead (in the 4th quarter) before he started being aggressive - scoring 9 points in 5-6 minutes. Now the question is, why is the leader, main ball-handler, best shot-creator and player who dictates the Clippers offense more than anyone else on the team allowing the game get to this point before he starts being aggressive?

The exact opposite of this situation occurred in Game 6, the Clippers had a 19-point lead near the end of the 3rd quarter and Paul stopped being aggressive, failed to protect the lead by not running the offense and allowed the Rockets to gain complete control of the game (19-pt lead turned into a 12-pt loss in about 14 minutes). I basically did a play-by-play of what happened in that 4th quarter, and how the Clippers allowed the Rockets to get back into the game. Here's a basic summary -

The long and short of it is this - Paul was coasting during the start of the 4th quarter, knowing full well what was at stake - his lack of urgency/passiveness and error of judgement cost them early in 4th quarter (three straight possessions he fukked up), allowing the Rockets to keep gaining confidence along with all the momentum. Paul didn't get the offense stabilized early - he wasn't running anything at all. He and Doc failed to switch up shyt, the Clips went over the same plays and looks which led to the Rockets defense just swallowing up their predictable offense. Griffin went 0-5 with the game in reach, Paul went 1-5 with the game in reach. Griffin missed two easy shots. They both failed to be aggressive when their team needed them to be. If Paul wasn't fading in and out of the 4th quarter, he wasn't moving the ball and failed to get the rest of the team more involved. Doc failed to call timeouts, he failed to call proper sets, and there was a communication breakdown between him and Paul.

By the time they realized the Rockets had taken the lead and extended it, it was too late.

This COULD have been all avoided if he was aggressive when his team needed him to be.

No I am looking at the obvious and indisputable fact that misses don't help, period. That is all.

Vindication for the East too, dudes kept saying the East was horrible cause this Cavs team made it out of there, yet here they are 1 possession from being up 2-0 on the Warriors.
