When you choose to be a hater you're indirectly choosing to be a fool. Hide your oblong head in shame.

So where is that game against Pacers that his team did absolutely nothing in the win? You have 4 tries. I am waiting.

A time is coming (and not too far away) when people will be identified by the number of stupid things they will say. You will have the Nobel Prize in stupidity that you crave so badly.

NictisZorander:
Didn't the supporting cast get praise during the raptors series? Lol! FOH man.

They did? Show me proof using the BR image Donlittle posted.

I dare...double triple quadruple dare you.

NictisZorander:
When the opposition back court is outscoring your back court 41 - 3 people actually get mad when someone says the supporting cast aren't playing well?

And nobody said the supporting cast played well. In fact, the contrary. The point is..when they play well..the narrative then becomes "he did it alone".

In other words, he gets all the accolades. LOL.

NictisZorander:
I'm sorry didn't the Cavs pick up games in the pacers series after the guys put up similar or worse numbers to this?

Depends on the opposition too, works against some but not against others. Sometimes he can drag a team, other times he can't because the opposition is too strong.

I like your first sentence though, were you looking in the mirror when you typed that? And it's "capiche", egg Nog.

If context matters in a narrative then the narrative should not pre-dominate the context.

As for your spelling...lol..for an Italian word? Your problem is...you forget the reality check you will always get paid with on nairaland.

Slang can be spelled anyhow. Keep your ITK to your peer-simpletons you converse with in your regular life.

Just the same way I was here saying Kyrie got zero respect for his 2016-17 performances despite averaging 27 and 29 ppg in those playoffs finals. Bron got every single credit.

BR will draw only him in a tug of war with the whole celts team.

Now he did all..and they did not win. If they win, why does he get all the credit WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT He MUST HAVE GOTTEN HELP for his team to win?

Why claim he did it all for his team to win?

Look at the Raptors series. They swept..they gave him all the credit again.

NictisZorander:
WTF? Read what you post please.

Logical reasoning can be painful to a mind not built for it.

When Bron put huge numbers and won against Pacers...y'all said he did it alone. In other words, he got all the credit.

Today..he had huge numbers and did not win. Which means..Cavs winning or not does not depend on him scoring huge..it depends on the help he gets.

Such that if Cavs win the series..it will be senseless to now claim he did it all alone. Kapische?

donlittle25:
A friend of mine just said he had no help. Reminded him KL had 22 and 15.

Slapping a dear friend assault in ATL?

Series not over, remember Adam Silver the Bucks were down 2-0 too.

Well...look at it this way, if Cavs win the series, "He had no help" chants won't make sense because he balled today and they still did not win.

Non-feel out loss.

It happens.

So..what rubbish will Duncey Billups and Jalen Goat say?

Lebron doing what I predicted.

Celts offense has stagnated.

Cavs are in the bonus..Tatum or Horford should be attacking the paint not settling for jumpers.

No interior D from the Cavs.

If this gets to 15 before Lebron returns...they have lost this game.

ipledge10:
He is really having impact in this game. If Celtic won this game, then Celtic in 6. I wanted to say Celtic in 5 but I don’t want to disrespect Lebron.

Cavs can make a push...the issue Cavs will have is closeout Brad.

Celts picked experience from the last 2 series so inexperience in closing games will not be a factor.

But if Bron finds strength to keep running..and if he can make free throws, Cavs can steal it.

Nothing he has done FT wise gives me any indication things will change though.

End of the 3rd.

Celts lead 84-77.

Terry Rozier is now scary Terry.

Love is registering huge buckets

77-79 in Celts favor.

I don't want to hear "he" did it all alone again.

Rozier finally coming to the party and guess what?

Celts lead.

NictisZorander:
That implies tired legs. But must of the free throws he missed were short.

Okay sir.

If he tries another 3 and it airballs..we shall know.

NictisZorander:
Lol! He bricked his first two free throws in the first. Being spent has nothing to do with it. He can't go at it alone if he doesn't get the others involved. He'll start attacking again at the right time.

Difference is that 3 point hot hands the celtics got and the cold hands the Cavs got in the first game isn't sustainable. Both teams are back to their natural 3 point shooting potential.

The ARC was a bit short in terms of wavelength unlike it hitting the back of the rim and bouncing off like his first miss. Usually implies tired arms.

End of the half

55-48 Cavs lead.

Marcus playing Smart.

Both Marcuses TBH.

Bron is spent. Told on the arc of his FTs.

Rebounding is the difference between both teams IMHO.

Rozier better step up in this.

Love is doing okay..but he can be better.

Cavs lead by 9.

47-38.

Kyle Korver producing in this one...it has helped because without him and Bron..Cavs have no offense.

That blocking foul on Oyejele was wrong.

Tatum now doing wonders.

They need Rozier in this one. (3 wise)

End of first.

Bron with 21.

Tatum is making mistakes.

Bron is the only player in rhythm for the Cavs.

Long long game TBH.

Celts are edging it in terms of team play and open looks but Bron is the best player on the pitch.

Cavs lead 27-23.

Marcus smart travelled there.

27-22.

25-20 with about 2mins in the first.

Time out Boston.

James is balling..he has 19 already.

But it is a gift and a problem at the same time.

Gift because he has hit 4 3s...1 of which was pretty difficult.

Problem because those are still difficult shots.

Brown for Celts is killing. Him and Horford.

Rozier has been a liability.


This is a game that needed Kyrie.

12-10 at the first.

Cavs lead but Lue took a time out because Celts are having easier shots than the Cavs.

Bron is hitting rhythm 3s


But it appears he has conceded that he won't be driving any how against these lengthy athletic defenders or is he saving energy for the 4th?

Mehn


Al Phucking Horford.

What a guy.

Color me surprised.

Everyone was yapping about Pheonix deserving a number one pick and now.. they have it..just like Orlando did in 92 or Knicks did in the 80s when Shaq and Ewing were available.

NictisZorander:
LeBron joined a 73 win team he blew a 3 - 1 lead in the conference finals against

Please let us not go over this again.

Even this very season Bron was trying to recreate a super team.

I don't know how you cannot see that if Bron is the best ever player that ever was...then you cannot complain if overachieving ninnies form a team to beat him especially when 3 of those players were DRAFTED.

We drafted Curry..Klay and Draymond.

You people keep forgetting.

NictisZorander:
I am just satisfied in the knowledge that his legacy will never recover from that move no matter how many rings he wins. I'm just satisfied knowing with KD there wardell will never win finals MVP.

I celebrate the little victories.

Don't celebrate too soon.

Curry was arse against Celts in game 1 of regular season. 49 game 2.
