And the playmaker would contribute fvck all to the team's fortunes.
Putting things in perspective, who did it worse, the tantrum thrown by D-Wade and that by LeBron?

Equal but at least one of them is majorly responsible for his team's top seeded position and recent fortune.

loooooooool, Issok.
The fear of failure on LBJ is soo thick it can be cut through with a knife.
Dude is gonna drive himself nuts if the Cavs get blown away in the playoffs.

Lebron's hustle makes sense. BTW, he's the first in the building already doing shoot around cheesy and I'm wondering "is it not timberwolves?" Abi he dey fear them too?

Except they can get KD, Curry, Isaiah Thomas, Giannis, John Wall or another Lebron, they ain't winning sh**.

In fact barring an Injury to any of the top 4 in GSW, we get Cavs in the finals, we are sweeping them.

GSWs only issue will be a 7 game series against Spurs. That's what it looks like while Cavs may sweep almost everyone enroute to getting to the Finals.

They want to make a "statement". I don't mind it. They only beat us when we mess up ourselves- never really about what they do. So if they like let them get Russell Westbrook.

I'm confident that any of Houston or GSW that wins the West would down the Cavs.
Spurs? I have serious doubt about them.

I think the Cavs have this but 3 hours early to shoot around before the game for Wolves just got me laughing..

Experience aside, the aging Spurs with their overall slow play would not be able to last a 7 game series against an explosive Cavs who probably won their ECF in 5games .
Pick and roll may take them just as far, but against the Cavs, I think perimeter shots with a big man at the board would be just fine.
Last last, who would be asked to guard James? I can't pick any single player in the rooster who James wouldn't have for toast. Spurs would just be gifting James his 4th ring, the easiest one he would ever win.

He definitely will. Play off mode activated.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:30am On Feb 02, 2017
The big story for me though is how the Heat are powering back from the brink of nonentity to near playoff contention.
It's a really remarkable story, what Dion Waiters and Goran Dragic are doing. Long may it last.

Kawhi will shut down Queen James. This wouldn't be the first time.

But I told them the boy has looked different since Dec 25th 2016. He got his groove back it was clear as crystal. Even when he dropped only 20 against Cavs the boy looked sharp and aggressive. I was seeing the signs but people thought I wasn't being objective.

This is another game he would have broken a record if he cared about it.

God keep Chef in this health and mode in June. Let me see how he won't get a 2nd ring.

Kawhi can do a job on Bron but it may affect his own numbers on the other end and he seems to be their main scorer these days.

Well, nothwithstanding, they have Gregg and he is another cheat code in terms of managers. He always conjures something up to do a job when he needs it.

It your opinion.
I would rather play the rockets ( playoffs basketball is another beast and slower too) but then this larriors go think say pesin they fear. wink
I no need mention who go guard Bron again.

you no wan get better draft pick ni?
Or is it your 2017 pick you traded away for Goran?

looking at your response to my other question am guessing you don't think Kawhi can guard bron effectively?

Loooool. Cavs would rather not play Spurs. In fact, Spurs would avoid Spurs in the playoffs.


Curry is having that week...

Those Clippers can't be relied on. See how Griffin played a monster game tonight. The next game, he is out for 3 decades.

Then, CP3 is back and playing like MVP; everything is rosey. After one loss, he's missing from the team for 4 eclipses, 4 Igbo market days and after Beyoncé gives birth to her twins

Mehn...angry

He's on MVP mode.. I don't care if he continues this way.. Hope he stays healthy for the playoffs that's all.

And yes, I think Kawhi cannot effectively guard James. No one on the rooster can.
