Nick Wright ether's Chris Mannix

[Professor Emeritus]

Come to think of it, how many times in this finals run was the second best player in the series not on Bron’s team?

Do you mean 2nd best by general ability at that stage in their career or 2nd-best by performance in that Finals? Best player not named Lebron by series (factoring in health) was:

general ability: 2007 (Duncan), 2011 (Dirk or Wade), 2012 (Durant), 2013 (Duncan or Wade), 2014 (Duncan or TP or Wade), 2015 (Curry), 2016 (Curry), 2017 (Durant or Curry)

performance in the Finals: 2007 (Duncan and TP), 2011 (Dirk), 2012 (Durant), 2013 (Duncan), 2014 (Duncan or TP or Kawhi), 2015 (Curry), 2016 (Kyrie), 2017 (Durant)


But NBA basketball is a lot more than a two-man game. 2004 taught everyone that.

You guys need to separate the business of selling sports with actual competition

AFC East shyt

 

[THE MACHINE]

Nick Wright though, annoying as hell. Nasally voice

 

[FS4LFE]

He didn’t lie once.

LeBron can’t win with some of y’all can’t you don’t like him. The goalpost will always be moved.

 

[GOAT]

How the hell is it cherry-picked when they were the first ones to show up on Google? ESPN, NBA, Sporting News, and SBNation are "cherry picked" sites?

You lied again.

And YOU are the one who can't prove your receipt. I gave you all sorts of receipts that I can prove happened before the fact, including 55 expert opinions and 20+ pre-series Coli opinions. You have provided nothing that you can prove came before the series.

How you gonna try to use an argument against me that applies twice as much to you?

And no, if only 64% of people pick a team to win and they're all guessing 6-7 games then that team is NOT an overwhelming favorite. When a team is an overwhelming favorite they get 90-100% of the expert picks because most of those experts don't pick underdogs just to look dumb. When the split is closer to 60-40 that's evidence that the series is damn close.

And you ignoring the fact that several of the experts who picked the Cavs said it was a "coin flip" or that they would ONLY win if they had Kyrie for every game.




I didn't defend him, I attacked three stupid, easily proven false statements that you and your co-signers made.

You lied again.





How can you claim that I attributed shyt other people said to you when your quote has me attributing it to other people?

You lied again.

The only claims I attributed to you were that "nobody had the Hawks winning" (false) and that "The Cavs were overwhelming favorites" (false). You also said "they were never in a series that people thought could go either way", which is also obviously false.

The false claims that other people made, I attributed to them. I'm just using them to laugh at you because YOU said nobody said those things when even the people trying to stan your case right now were the very ones saying those things.

Since I never said "Nobody said....", trying to come at me with other people's words does nothing for you.




If you don't care then why did you come right back and neg me.

People who don't care about negs don't do retalitory negs for nothing.

I negged you for a reason - you keep lying on me.

You, on the other hand, have not been able to come up with ONE receipt for ONE false word that I've said.

It's cherry picked because you're out here dismissing and making excuses for polls that have the Cavs dominating. Can't really take you seriously when you argued with a straight face that most of the Cavs votes on the Coli poll took place after the series was in progress.

Yeah, you totally proved the statement that the Cavs were overwhelming favorites false by including like 3-4 sources where 64% of people had the Cavs winning and ignoring sources with an even higher % of the Cavs winning.

You've already proven to be quite the knucklehead enough in this argument, so I'm going to spell it out for you explicitly again. No, I did not mean literally every NBA fan/expert on the planet picked the Cavs over the Hawks. That was an expression. Hence why my very next sentence said the Cavs were overwhelming favorites (which they were). Didn't think this needed to be explained, but there you go.

Because negs and internet rep obviously matters to you. Hence you still going on about it now, and bragging about having 3000 points or whatever a few posts ago.

It's embarrassing how emotional you are about all of this. Talking about "you lied again"

 

[Dwight Howard]

I'm telling you if you think losing in the ECF is better than losing in the NBA finals ....well idk what to tell you

Lebron said this himself

 

[FreshandClean]

Lebron said this himself

And you lied again here. Already caught you in too many and gave the receipts to prove it. Ain't responding to any more bullshyt of yours unless you back it up.

 

[Dwight Howard]

I can’t belive what I’m reading


Pacers have PG hibbert lance west they not getting past them .... Lebron and his team wins .... east is weak

The raptors for the past 4 years gonna get him... Lebron team wins ...east is weak

Bulls for 3 straight years gonna get him ... Lebron wins ... east is weak

Love gets his arm pulled out it’s socket ... Lebron still beats the cletics ....east is weak

Bulls have a complete team love is gone kyrie have one knee cap ... somehow the cavs win ... the east is weak

Hawks 60 win team (spurs east) and some how after the cavs win they was frauds


This been going on for years and it’s always the east is weak how about this guy knows how to play

The east being weak and people thinking a team can beat the Cavs aren’t two mutually exclusive concepts. The east is weak and people think some teams can still beat the Cavs. Regardless of those people, no serious source has or expert has favored the Cavs. Check the odds. There is a reason Bron finals record is negative.

 

[Originalman]

Lebron’s team must pay this nikka an exorbitant amount to get his Mario on. Cuz use to legit shyt on Bron all the time before he took the gig in Houston

Naw man. Just like tiger woods and other black athletes you can play both sides of the fence to make a come up.

Hype them up or dog them out. Nick knew he wasn't gonna make a come up doggig out lebron. Sweet booty skip bayless already does that. So he had to go another route.

Just like Sam Smith rode MJ nuts to stardom.

 

[Dwight Howard]

These Bron peasants don’t understand someone projecting what they hope will happen isn’t the same as what they actually think will happen


All to make Bron an underdog


Come to think of it, how many times in this finals run was the second best player in the series not on Bron’s team?



The 3rd best player?

In the East

shyt is ridiculous

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Who denies that he has morons rooting against him? That doesn’t change the fact that trying to paint a narrative where the Cavs have been perennial underdogs in the East is foolish as hell

The only fact I’s knows is

Rose and the 2.0 Bull was gonna beat him and he was the underdog,
Then Wizards with there Bron stopper was gonna beat him and he was the underdog,
Then the Paul, Lance and the Pacers was gonna be him, he was the underdog,
Then Jimmy Butler and the 3.0 Bulls was gonna beat him and he was the underdog,
Then watch out for the Raptors they up and coming and may beat him,
Then the IT and the Celtics was gonna beat him, and now this year after every overaction to a lost or interview with Bron or a fukking tweet it’s been “Celtics got Kyrie they going to finals, Toronto for real and Bron won’t get past them, Embid and Philly gonna beat them, Bron better watch out for Giannis”

It’s just one moment people are talking about how tough the East is and how many problems Bron gonna have, then the next they claiming it’s a cakewalk and too easy. THAT is the only narrative that gets changed and comes more from the Bron haters than the Bron stans

They can’t have it both ways.

LeBron's teams were the underdogs in literally none of those series

That last smilie is appropriate, because you gotta be trolling

 

[LebronsHairline]

holy shyt are yall really arguing that the fukking hawks and last years celtics led by what the coli calls a "a ball dominant no defense playing fukking midget" were gonna take down the cavs?
