Celtics used to trash talk the shyt out of LeBron. I don't know if it really helped them or mattered but they did beat the Cavs twice. LeBron got them back when he went to Miami. 
How could George not know that was a dude wit a fat ass? Look at that back and forearms. nikka wouldnt even pass the tranny test
Dwight Howard
Superstar
i mean, they let Isaiah talk shyt to Jordan and Bird all the time. nobody was stoppin glove from talkin his shyt..Sacramento Queens, etc..So yall would let your boy talk shyt to Mike Tyson?
What's wrong with PG knowing what THE WHOLE WORLD (except @O RLY) knows? That Indiana never had a chance.

Don't forget the Mavs. Marion and Stevenson and Terry were talking a lot of shyt to LeBron in that series.
what y'all goin say if PG and Stephenson go out there and have career type playoff games and get the W? They'll be the greatest thing since sliced bread if PG backs Lance up on the basketball court where it counts.
Also, will somebody give Mr. Bosh a strong cup/s of coffee before the contest?
Heat, Pacers respond to Stephenson accusing LeBron of "sign of weakness"; Heat summons draft prospects
Heat players on Monday offered several amusing retorts in response to Pacers guard Lance Stephenson’s comments that he not only has gotten inside LeBron James' head, but that James responding to his trash-talking in Game 3 was a “sign of weakness.”
Meanwhile, Pacers forward Paul George suggested Stephenson probably should have kept his mouth shut.
"If getting in his head is averaging 27 points, then I hope he stays there,” Chris Bosh said.
Asked if he has seen any weakness from James, Shane Battier cracked: “Not in the last decade.”
Norris Cole, asked the impact the comments might have on James in Game 4, said: “It might be worse for Lance. Sometimes LeBron gets in that gear when he has to prove a point. Paul Pierce did it [two weeks ago] and LeBron had 49. It doesn’t take much.”
Stephenson said he has no regrets about making the comments.
“I don’t care how he feels,” Stephenson said Monday morning, when asked if the comments might motivate James. “When I talk junk, it makes me happier to do my job. I like the challenge. I like to bring the best out of people. If it’s going to bring the best out of him, we’re going to have to get the win tonight.”
Stephenson said no Pacers coach or official spoke to him about his remarks.
But George told reporters Monday: “He’s doing it to the wrong guy, barking up the wrong tree. LeBron feeds off that. It motivates him. That’s Lance. That’s him being from Brooklyn. Some of the stuff Lance says is genuine. Some you can dial it back, keep in house, be modest. He’s got to be smarter about it.”
Asked if Stephenson’s comments will create a monster out of LeBron, Pacers forward David West said: “More than what he is? I don’t know.”
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Stephenson’s comments will have no effect in Game 4. “I don’t think LeBron, Dwyane Wade are going to play any harder than they’re already playing,” Vogel said.
Bosh said the Heat generally doesn’t trash-talk because “we don’t have any of those guys on this team. We’ve never been into that in the first place. It takes all your energy to win a game. This is a good team we’re facing.”
### Chris Bosh, who hasn't topped 10 points in any of his last seven playoff games against Indiana, was asked today if teammates are giving him encouragement.
“For the most part, I don’t need any encouragement," he said. "Encouragement for us is a win. I’ve never been selfish and I’m not going to start now. But I do want to play better.”
DRAFT TALK
While Heat players and coaches are immersed in this Eastern Conference Finals, the team’s front office has begun studying possibilities for the 26th selection in the first round of the June 26 NBA Draft.
According to ESPN college basketball writer Jeff Goodman, the Heat will host a workout with several players on Tuesday, including North Carolina 6-5 shooting guard PJ Hairston, Wichita State 6-8 small forward Cleanthony Early, Connecticut 6-9 forward DeAndre Daniels, 6-5 UCLA guard Jordan Adams and Louisville 6-0 point guard Russ Smith.
Hairston, who averaged 14.6 points last season and shot 39.6 percent on three-pointers, is considered a mid to late first round pick. So is Early, who averaged 16.4 points and 5.9 rebounds for Wichita State.
Adams, projected as a late first-round pick, averaged 17.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and shot 48.8 percent for UCLA.
Daniels, a potential second-round pick who can play either forward position, helped lead Connecticut to the national title, averaging 13.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.
Smith, considered a potential second-round pick, averaged 18.2 points and 4.6 assists for Louisville last season and shot 46.8 percent from the field.
Tennessee 6-8 forward Jarnell Stokes, considered a late first-round pick or early-second rounder, will audition for the Heat on Thursday, according to ESPN. He averaged 15.1 points and 10.6 rebounds last season.
Because the Heat traded its 2015 first-rounder to Cleveland as part of the 2010 sign-and-trade for LeBron James, Miami is not permitted to trade its first-round pick before this year’s draft in accordance with NBA rules prohibiting dealing a No. 1 pick in consecutive years.
But the Heat can select a player on behalf of another team and trade that player after the draft.

Well, I'd say his trash talk is having an adverse affect since Wade is shooting 62% for the series and LeBron is at 58%. He needs to shut the fukk up and if this is the only way George and/or the Pacers think he will, then I have no problem with it.

Wait, what?
How could you possibly know that Lance's 'trash talk' attributes to them shooting a high percentage? Both Wade and Bron are calculated in what shots they take, regardless of opposition-personnel and situation - if Lance didn't say shyt they'd probably shoot the same.. And even if it is fueling them, any type of motivation and mind games are better than telling your team mate (so everybody can hear), that it doesn't work and putting up the proverbial white flag.
You NEVER under any circumstance come out and shyt on one of your team mates for motivating himself and your team like that.
