They are just a bad road team. At home they would be really tough to beat. That altitude alone is a home court advantage on its own. I've been hyping this Denver team since last season and I didn't expect them to make such a leap this year. I think they would win a series at least

There's something you guys don't understand. It's not about playing with Lebron. It's about playing for the purple and gold, the greatest franchise in the world. It's a dream come true for them. Unless they all want to play for the Lakers when they're 36, now is the time. And they have a higher chance of winning the ring with Lebron whether you believe it or not. Forget o, these players don't think like you fans. If AD can be willing to lose his starting berth and a lot of money just because he wants to play with Lebron and the Lakers, who the f*ck is Klay? Abegi
Lmaooooo. This guy is in La-la land. Dream come true for who? This guy you're seriously living in the past if you think players nowadays care about the past history of any team. Nobody cares!!

Maybe you're forgetting KD, Paul George declined to even meet with the Lakers to listen to their pitch.

AD is the only guy who cares to play with LeBron. Klay, Kawhi, KD, Paul George are more interested in beating him than boosting his legacy. This they have proven way beyond a reasonable doubt. None of those elite players are interested in being LeBron's apprentice unlike AD

Nuggets vs Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. NO. The Nuggets will be OUT in the first round of the playoffs. With Nuggets being a #2 seed, they would face the #7 San Antonio Spurs, another team Denver CANT beat. Nuggets already have problems with the Spurs as it is already and Spurs would win 4-2. It will probably be Houston or Oklahoma City in the West Finals
I don't like San Antonio's chances even against Denver. I hate to scapegoat Isaiah Thomas but his return has really ruined that team's chemistry. If they can sit him I think they stand a better chance

San Antonio's defense is a bit weak. And DeRozan is just a post season mental midget. He has refused to get a 3pt shot and this can hurt him again especially if the refs swallow their whistles.

They couldn't take the bulls to seven games because the bulls had the greatest player on earth.
Apparently Magic, Detroit, Knicks, Pacers didn't get the memo. That's why they beat or took the Bulls at least 7 games

Why was no team from the so called stronger conference able to take the Bulls to an elimination game?
steady986:
Your argument was that the east was dominant in Jordan's era. I say the east looked like it was dominant because Jordan was with the bulls who won it 6 times. Now if you look at 85 to 03 which was Jordan's era, the only other Eastern team to win the ring is the pistons (2) and the Celtics (1). From the west Lakers won it 6 times, rockets 2 times and spurs 2 times. Now how's that dominance from the east?
No credible analyst lists 85-03 as Jordan's era. Jordan's era ended in 98 so I don't know why you are including the years Jordan did not even play and was officially not in the league.

The only time the east has ever been dominant was in the late 50s and 60s when the Celtics won it about 11 times. Check your fact before u argue my guy.

Paul George was also an LA native. He didn't even grant them a meeting. KD is from DC. He must also be going to the Wizards.

What's the difference? You called up your 2 lottery pick draft mates, all 3 of you in your athletic prime when you couldn't beat Orlando and Boston.

Imagine Jordan calling Olajuwon and Barkley to come to his rescue when he couldn't beat the Bad Boy Pistons and Boston. That is what your LeNomad did.

Durant, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard. The list is endless! Anthony Davis is a young pup who still looks at LeNomad like a fan. The older guys don't care for your king and that's why Anthony Davis is the only prominent guy being linked to the Lakers.

Kobe was drafted in 96, Duncan in 97, so I have every right to mention them. And why do you include the 6 titles by Jordan, it's not relevant in this conversation. Take out the 6 and its 4-3 to the West. And what happened to 2001-2003? You're not adding that one? And don't forget the two years Rockets won it(94 & 95). We can clearly see that apart from Jordan's teams, the west were the dominant conference.
Lmaooo je ki'n paro kan fun e. Kobe was not even a starter in his first two seasons. So don't drop Kobe and the Lakers like they were a threat

Why won't I include the 6 titles the Bulls won? What kind of Sakamanje argument is that? Are they not an Eastern team. If the West was as dominant as you claim then explain why no team from that conference took the Bulls to 7 games even when they had homecourt. Why would teams from a supposedly dominant conference fail at all 6 attempts to defeat the Bulls.

When the GOAT got to his full peak starting from 87-88 the only 3 series he lost two of them were to the eventual NBA Champions that played in his conference.

I didn't forget the two years. The Lakers and Rockets comprise the 4 titles the West won

You're adding 2001-2003 when the GOAT was 40 and came out of a 3 year retirement? You can't be serious undecided

Between the years the GOAT played (84-93 95-98)
Celtics - 1 title
Pistons - 2 titles
Bulls - 6 titles

This team could have gotten to the second round in the west and everyone knows it. The way they were dismantling Warriors before Lebrons injury is proof.

The big blunder was overshopping the young core in trade talks. Now the cry babies refuse to play because their feelings were hurt. Id trade them all this off season and get professionals, not kids who should really be in college eating ramen noodles
Lmaooooo. That team was not going to do Squadushhh. They were only 2.5 games ahead of the 9th seed before LeNomad's injury and started on a relatively light schedule, which explains why their run-in to the season is so brutal

As for the Warriors game. That was largely an aberration. These Warriors lost to worse teams than the Lakers

Who were the cry babies that refused to play? Is it Ingram who put together the best 5 game stretch of his career or who exactly are you talking about. LeNomad is a terrible leader. These kids were 7 games under .500 last year. The potential was there! A so-called King returning with 31 games still to play and just 2 games outside the playoffs should have galvanized the troops. That's what real leaders do.

The locker room don't respect him. That's why a second year ninja like Kyle Kuzma can shove LeNomad to go and cover his defensive assignment grin grin I've never seen anything like that all my years of watching basketball

This is the toxic environment Kevin Durant was talking about.

I hope they trade them off and mortgage their future for an ageing player who probably has 2 seasons left of elite basketball

He's not as good as MJ. Never has been and never will

The consecutive Final runs highlight the weaknesses of the East much more than LeNomad's greatness which is what we have been repeating ad nauseum! so this narrative that LeNomad can carry any team must die

Are you saying Lemar could have displaced Griezman from his role? Lmao. Did you even realise that Griezman was horrible on the wing for Atletico and that was what birthed his transition into the SS role some years back?
That's the point. Deschamps, Simeone, Jardim all shunted Lemar from his role. 3 coaches from different nationalities all decided Lemar is not good enough for his preferred role. Does that not tell you he is mediocre at it? Or is he simply cursed?

Everyone that watched Griezmann from his Sociedad days knew he was not a true winger. Don't tell me what I know already Captain Obvious

diadem10:
That Lemar was deployed on the wing shows the trust his coach has in him to deliver better than others who could have played in his place. Even for a world-class touchline winger, a long ball midfielder is required to make him play better. That was why we had Carrick and Scholes in our midfield to give our winger the needed space through their visionary long passes which tends to split the opposition defences and release the wingers. Believe me, this would make it easier for every winger. More reason why Sane seems to do a lot better with David Silva behind him in the midfield.
I don't have time for this your Dothraki. What we have seen from Thomas Lemar is indefensible mediocrity for club and country for the past two seasons no matter who played ahead, behind or beside him

diadem10:
Talking of Sane, he was deployed many times on the right when he came into City newly but was quite horrible until Guardiola discovered his best role being a left touchline winger. I'm sure the Germany coach knows this but he can't seem to give up Muller/Reus/Draxler's left forward role to Sane, a left touchline winger. If I were him, I would go for a 352 setup with Sane as the left wingback, after all Germany don't even have a quality left back to begin with and Sane isn't a slouch when it comes to defending. As for Reus, he is even much more better as a SS. So everyone would get to play in their best position.
Müller and Draxler's continued inclusion in that German National team is one of the biggest problems. Löw must summon courage to drop both players, possibly Reus as well as he is always injured and move forward with a completely different footballing philosophy

diadem10:
That's by the way, Mbappe should go sort out his control first before he can lace Lemar boot.
I hope you maintain this same energy when Thomas Lemar is on loan at Brighton or sold to Changchun Yatai

Costa is popularly known and not a young player just plying his trade. Besides, there's nothing wrong with Costa. First, his team needs to give him the needed creativity which is more or less absent in that Atletico team or happened to be only centered around another goal scorer named Griezman.
Torres was also a popular player when he returned to Atletico. Problem is he was washed just like Costa and is busy accumulating yellows instead of goals.

Who is providing the creativity for Morata who has netted 3 goals since joining end of January. He should be on 5 goals but for VAR yet you are here releasing excuse after excuse. If the team is lacking creativity then that is also part of Lemar's brief which the stats clearly show he is failing woefully

diadem10:
Secondly, costa isn't your regular hold up play kind of striker that simeone seems to have envisaged as Griezman's partner. Let me remind you that Costa was the defacto SS for Atletico before he left for Chelsea, which means he's the type to need a holdup play kind of striker Infront of him/alongside him. All these have been Costa's main problem at Atletico. It's either he's deployed as the main striker without another baggage (another forward like himself, i.e Griezman) behind him or Costa should be deployed as a SS alongside a hold up play striker.
Costa the one man MOPOL and battering ram? Whether Costa started out as an SS is immaterial. By 2013/2014 season he became the target man. Don't come here and serve us cool zobo! Some of us don tey pass Schnapps for this football game.

For the past 4-5 seasons Costa has been playing without any help at CF for club and country for at least 75% of his games. Try another excuse.

Why do you think Simeone signed Morata? If Costa does not shape up Morata will be his permanent replacement so if you like continue speaking country grammar

diadem10:
France set up at the world cup is quite different from Atletico set up. France was a counter attacking team like Monaco, not a defensive team like Atletico. They didn't have defensive midfielder such as Rodrigo, Saul in the midfield like Atletico has been doing with these players in their midfield. Instead of what Atletico has in midfield, France had Pogba and even a Matuidi who was prompted to drift into the midfield from the wing whereas Koke keeps the width as directed by Atletico's coach. There's nothing similar between Atletico team and France team nor Atletico and Monaco team. Let that sink in.
The difference between a team like France and Atletico is merely speed merchants like Dembele, Lemar, Mbappe etc. Without those guys their personnel and M.O are essentially the same! The difference being Atleti lacking the personnel to transition from defense to attack quickly. Lemar is not a typical Simeone signing. He would rather buy LMs like Vitolo and co. Play a Koke who is more of a box to box mid on the wings than go out to buy an actual winger. Signing a guy like Lemar shows he wanted to try something different

Btw in what planet is Saul a DM? Looool.

diadem10:
Atletico team woudn't even score so many goals against big opposition teams unlike Monaco did against City or the way France did against Argentina and Croatia because Atletico is always cautious and compact unlike Monaco or the France team who flies out as soon as they have little possession. And what more? They have the creative player such as Pogba to give them the necessary boost. The only thing these team all have in common is their tendency to leave the possession play to the opposition.
The same Atletico that scored 3 at Stamford Bridge? 4 against same Chelsea in the Supercup. Is it not the same Atletico that pumped 4 past Madrid in the Supercup? Stop chatting Dothraki. If you lose guard Atletico will pump goals pass you if need be. Their paucity of goals is more a personnel issue than anything else. Put guys like Mbappe in that squad and goals will flow. Not skirt man like Lemar with his 1 goals and 1 assists


diadem10:
Btw, did you know Mbappe has been abject for the France team in the Nation league matches? Why did you think he's been so poor? Because majority of the opposition France have encountered after their world cup tends to give up possession to the France team and as such, the France team are forced to play a possession game which often hinders Mbappe's game. Thank God for Pogba in Mbappe's life, else he would be irrelevant today even as we're thanking God for Verratti, Di Maria and most importantly, the don, Neymar in his life at PSG.

The fraud!
Abject Mbappe was France's best forward in 2 of France's 4 UNL games. The common denominator however is that your MCM Thomas Lemar did not play for even 5 seconds in France's 360minutes of that competition

Jesus navas isn't playing for a defensive narrow Atletico team. Kapish?

He's playing in a team that has Banega who tends to whip in passes from the midfield to the wing in acre of space coupled with the open play of his team which gives him plenty of freedom, not a compact style of play.
Dude nobody cares if he's playing in Remo Stars. I am showing you the numbers of a touchline winger who is waaaaay past his prime to negate your nonsense argument.

A compact style of play is not a valid excuse for such historic lack of productivity! A winger who is not scoring, not assisting and not creating chances! Just occupying space

diadem10:
One fact you are forgetting is, Lemar is at his best as a SS. Or playing as a winger in an open team that gives him lot of freedom. That's why he's compared to Mbappe in the first place. That he was able to give his best when shunhorned into a touchline wing role is a testament to his talent. That's why I said some people talent tends to be their downfall.
He's a mediocre SS. That is why not two but 3 different managers have felt it necessary to move him out of his preferred position like you claim. Intelligent managers know players with limited ceilings and shunt them elsewhere to complete the squad. Your MCM is just a John O'Shea with French passport. Don't be surprised when Simeone turns him to a Left back and you have to come here to tell us about his defensive qualities

diadem10:
Some player can't even play out if their comfort zone, for example, Leroy Sane who's only at his best as a touchline winger can't even give "make a believe" performance as an inverted right winger for Germany national team because he's one dimensional player. Kudos to Lemar for not being a one dimensional player highlighted by the fact that he has been able to do well as a touchline winger despite not being his best role. I can bet he would be the one to eventually replace Griezman in that SS role if Griezman eventually leave. His performance for France confirmed it.
Löw's inability to get the best out of Sane is entirely on him. If you insist on not playing to a player's strengths tactically and positionally then you should bear some responsibility. It's not coincidental that Germany could not get out of a group with Mexico, Korea and Sweden

E say na kudos. Thomas Lemar is a runaway candidate for La Liga flop of the season with his 1 goal and 1 assist Sergio Busquets numbers.

I can bet you Lemar will never play a prominent role for the French national team. He's a mediocre player and his trajectory screams Chinese Super League in the next few years

Simeone knows that Lemar has done well so far with the style Atletico seems to employ. If we were to put Mbappe in a defensive team that had Griezman as the main man, he would be benched. This was a player that got benched last season by PSG coach after so much shite display by him despite playing in a world-class team of so many quality players spoon-feeding him at PSG. What would he have done if there was lesser space for him to operate in a defensive team such as Atletico.
Simeone knows he can't bench Lemar without looking stupid. After squandering €70m the best you can do is to hope your record signing play himself into form.

Hahahaha jokes on you. Deschamps France are a defensive team with Griezmann as the main man. Mbappe is the X-Factor and difference maker. Great players force coaches to alter their tactics to accommodate them not the other way round. No wonder since Mbappe entered France's picture Thomas Lemar's seat on the bench comes with customized seatbelt

You're even contradicting yourself. With your analysis of Mbappe he is likelier to shine at a club like Atletico than a club like Barcelona

Atletico's coach knows this which is highlighted by the fact that they always go for technician to man their frontline because of how narrow the team often operate. Technician that control the ball in tight space without having to fall flat on their face everytime like Mbappe. Heck, They once had the likes of Aguero, Torres, Griezman, Falcao in that team. Even Costa has a better touch than Mbappe when he was operating as SS for Atletico before his move to Chelsea. Shame his return coincided with Griezman who had already replaced him in his role.

Mbappe is full of shite. Wake me up when Mbappe can control a ball under pressure. Can he even do that under no pressure? cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Lmao. Even if you plaster all the statistics in the world on your eyes, it doesn't negate the fact that there's nothing creative about Griezman. He's Atletico main man who touches the ball in the final third more than any other atletico's final third player and plays closer to the goal than anyone else except the front man. He's bound to feed on plenty of rebounds. That doesn't mean he's creative. Lemar doesn't see the ball as much nor play close to the goal yet he does his job of taking on defenders and putting in Crosses into the opposition boxes and doesn't fall on his ass like Mbappe in every crucial moment.

Wake me up when Mbappe isn't falling on his ass under no pressure at all. cheesy cheesy cheesy
I think your idea of creativity is arcane and needs updating. I will take statistics over the opinions of biased fanboys that cannot provide any credible alternative to counter my arguments.

When do you intend to prove that Griezmann merely feeds on rebounds. You have been typing endless lines of Dothraki, not one stat to counter my arguments

Griezmann creates more assists, more key passes. But he is not creative.

It's your poor man's Antonio Valencia with 1.1 key passes per game and 1.8 dribbles per game that's creative. Bahahahahaha!

Wake me up when Thomas Lemar scores or provides an assist in 2019

Even Jesus Navas a significantly older touchline winger like your mediocre MCM is putting up far better numbers. Stop hyping this unproductive skirt man where I dey

Lebron would have done equally well with this Rockets team without CP3 and Capela. They have Eric Gordon who can go for 30 on a good day. Gerald Green, Trevor Ariza...come on. Forget what you hear of this Lakers team, they can't play sh*t. It needs total overhauling. Plus the coaching, let's not forget that Luke is barely the same age with most of the players. He's a baby when it comes to coaching, especially coaching a team filled with veterans who don't seem to want to take instructions from him. You can add to all these the instabilities the AD trade brought. There's just so many things wrong with this team. Let's wait 'til next season when we have a new coach, another all-star, a couple of shooters...then we can judge.
The LeBron that is not doing well with the Lakers despite having Ingram, Rondo, Kuzma will suddenly do well without CP3 and Capela? Are you kidding me right now?

Eric Gordon also missed 14 games btw. Which means there were games James Harden was missing all 3 (Capela, Gordon, CP3). Lmaooo Ariza has left the Rockets since last season!! Gerald Green? Don't make me lose appetite please

How old was Luke when he was leading Golden State to a 39-4 record? If you were a boss I'm sure you would not tolerate all these excuses you're serving for LeNomad

What stopped your LeNomad from embracing this team and leading them to the promise land? You guys swore he can lead any team to the playoffs. While we told you he was benefiting from a rubbish Eastern Conference where teams 4 games behind .500 are in playoff positions

Who are the all Stars for the Jazz and Clippers? The fact is LeNomad's terrible leadership completely wrecked a salvageable situation. The excuse last season was he needed more playmakers and players that could create offense on their own, they gave him playmakers and the excuse now is he needs more shooters! Same shooters he had in Cleveland. Sheesh!
