I understand Embiid does not want to settle for jumpers but he might need to. They are picking his pocket at will here.

Huge Jaylen Brown 3.

51-48 HT

13-0 Sixers run.

50-43 now.

It will help second chance points and 3pt shooting which has deserted them all series long.

At some point, Simmons cannot be satisfied with just facilitating.

In other words, Sixers need offensive rebounds and better defence with better closing down and rim protection through Embiid.

Celts have taken out any form of offensive rebounds from Sixers.

Then the ball movement on the other side is confusing the Sixers defence.

To even enter this thread done tire person.. If it's not LeBron, it's LeBron, his stats or cuss words and Gazungas.. E done tire person.

Evil persists when good men do nothing.

Of course we drown out some of the rubbish analysis and poppycock stats as well.

SmooshCHN:
He say "nights" on top one game wey i miss. You done ever see me no show up before a Warriors game let alone during or after?? I think the f*Ck not. Game was 8am and a nigga had money to make. How man go do? Make we no talk your own sha.

Make dem flex. Na their time.

birdman:
I love how smooshchn dissappears on nights like this

We got characters here bwahaha

Enjoy your win na

We would be back stronger. Pels deserved this one. We messed up 3rd Q.

19pt loss.

Steph smiling and Klay yawning.

Our customary IDGAF game.

Make the right adjustments defensively and hit shots. Yeesh, Pels had uncontested after uncontested 3 point shots.

KD..Steph (too hesitant) and Klay having an abnormally cold shooting night.

Rondo stat padding as usual.

See you Sunday.

Down 17.

Ice ice cold shooting night for GSW.

Pels looked tired in the last 2 mins.

Manutd19:
JRue Holiday is a hot from tonight. I expect the warriors to come back though

The whole Pels apart from AD. 10/16 from 3 for the team but they are running too much and would gas out.

I would take this game at half time down 6. With how cold we were, could have been down 17.

Butthurt frauds.

WTF??

I keep hoping you’d disappoint me one day and truly be a genius.

The farthest distances you can think of in the world. Which mirrors the distance between your post and what is usually being discussed.

LOL

BarthramLestat:
Some idiots on this thread reveling in their stupidity don't know the ROTY award is based on the regular season and not the playoffs. These said idiots don't know votes for ROTY has already been cast. LOL.


Some of the stupidity being exhibited in this thread over the past few days one you can't make this sh it up.

The argument - Chincha Alta, Peru. Your post -Siem Reap, Cambodia

BarthramLestat:
LeBron averaged 36 13 and 9 in 2015. The FMVP is given to the best player in the finals but they only give it to someone on the winning team though it's not in the rule book. Everyone knew who the best player was. In fact LeBron had the warriors on the wall until Iggy was put on him and the warriors got back into it (Iggy didn't do sh it LeBron got tired) but it looked that way so the reason for the warriors winning wasn't curry but iggy, at least that how it looked.

LOL this idiot actually thinks Kyrie should've gotten a vote ahead of Durant or LeBron who averaged a 30 point triple double (first triple double in the NBA finals) SMH. You are a drunkard.


You keep missing the point dum dum. In all these finals LeBron was far and away the best player, they just didn't win but everyone saw he was the best player in these series. If the Cavs won in 2015 he would've been unanimous, if they won in 2017 no idiot will vote for Kevin Durant let alone kyrie. The fact that this idiot thinks Kyrie deserves an MVP vote ahead of LeBron in any of the finals he played in is just a testament to the brand of stupidity nature has cursed this im becile with.

So many words. Nothing said.

As much as I like Ben, Donovan Mitchell deserves it not because of he is an actual rookie but not because of the playoffs. The playoffs doesn't count.

How do I unread this?

A post on youtube today

"Is LeBron James' fadeaway shot the most unguardable in the NBA? | Get Up! | ESPN"

Man, if we start saying No, they will say we are haters.

Like what in the world?

BarthramLestat:
Like i said, when you type you just type rubbish because you have no direction. You just know you have to hate. The reason i keep bringing up what lebron did is because you are the only person foolish enough to believe what kyrie did was close to what lebron did. This man led BOTH teams in ALL statistical categories in a finals for the FIRST time in NBA history and this guy actually thinks anyone watching that series will give kyrie a vote ahead of lebron? LOL! Fvck outta here with your malaria, black irrelevant skip bayless. At least skip gets paid.

More and more worthless drivel.

Notice how my question is not being answered.

2015- he had no help. Give him sympathy votes and give FMVP to the player defending him.
2016- 29pts to Kyrie's 27. He led all the bla bla...not a single mention of the help he got.
2017- lost and Kyrie averaged 29pts. Got sympathy votes for triple double, Kyrie got none again.

Get well soon.

BarthramLestat:
LOL you mentioned his finals record which i explained to you. The problem with you is 99% of the time when you type you dont know what you are trying to say. In this case you just know you have to hate on lebron.

So where is my post suggesting he was better of not getting to a final?

Schitzo people always replying everyone including the enemies in their own heads.

BarthramLestat:
Lebron the greatest player of all time, but hes going up against the greatest teams of all time, the latter always beats the former. I do wonder how people like you actually think losing in the first is better than losing in the finals. So it would have been better for lebron to pull a brodie or lillard than to go to the finals and lose? thats like saying in olympics its better to finish last than with a silver medal. This remains the most illogical argument of all time.

You have a burning hatred of lebron in your heart from the things you've been posting, it wont take anything away from him though.

This is exactly what I mean. Offpoint. Off tangent. Unrelated to anything I have said or was saying.

BarthramLestat:
I say they're both as iconic and important. just as JR going off in the third was important. Just like kevin loves stop on the two time "unanimous" MVP was important.

People are so wrapped up in this "clutch" madness and tend to forget other contributions. It wont be a tie game without all those points before. I wonder why no one else was voted when curry was unanimous MVP. This guy is actually asking why kyrie didnt get one FMVP vote when lebron had that record breaking series and it was glaringly clear who the best payer was, no one gives you FMVP because you "also contributed", its about who contributed the most. This is something you'd think would be too obvious, you'd think.

He's starting to make skip bayless look like a boffin. Can't tell if he's trolling or not.

Your question is actually nonsensical. Nobody got a vote because not a single person was remotely close to anything Curry was doing that year ceteris paribus. Can the same argument be made about the Cavs warriors 7 game series?

The thing about blind subjectivity is, you start answering questions you were not asked and making assumptions that are non-sequitor.

Let us, get some chaff out of the way:

1. I did not say Lebron was not the best player of the series so repeating it at every turn just shows you have no answer for my question.

2. I did not say that Kyrie deserved the FMVP, I simply asked why he got NO vote.

Why is it important?

Because when Iggy won the FMVP Lebron got some votes on the losing team. The argument was “he had no help” and how Iggy was instrumental in limiting him.

Lebron was averaging 35pts on 40 shots. So he was inefficient but still making buckets. Iggy’s numbers apart from game 5 or so were bang average. The player with by far the best stats on the warriors was Curry but he got 0 vote.

Now in 2016, Kyrie’s numbers are here for all to see. 27ppg. 41 in game 5. 23 game 6 26 game 7 when Lebron was having an off game until the 3rd Q. It was Kyrie that was keeping Cavs in that series for large swaths of the game with iso play after iso play till Lebron joins in to make buckets too.

It is Kyrie that hits the game winning shot.

In all of these, Lebron gets all the vote for FMVP and Kyrie does not get even a single 1. Just one to show that he was huge in the series. Nothing.

This goes back to my initial argument about hypetrain phenomenon in FMVP voting. Which was my response to you for Curry not winning it in 2015. They wanted to lionize Lebron so much that they decided to give Iggy an FMVP trophy just because of Lebron. The end.

popizaino:
what gives you the assurance kyrie was going to hit a clutch time 3 point if lebron James block on Iggy wasn't successfull earlier and the tie was at 91-89?Don't you think that would have had a psychological effect on Cavs players.


Pls this thing is too obvious even to the blind .

Is that not exactly why the shot was huge? Because even if Iggy made the layup Kyrie’s 3 would have put Cavs ahead?

Aon un’sten.

Few days ago Lebron made a goal tending that would have made Pacers be 97-95 ahead of the Cavs with few seconds to go. The Cavs fans and bandwagoners alike accepted the missed call but argued that lebron hitting the last big (buzzer beater) 3 would have still made Cavs win 98-97. That is what makes the shot huge.

Again, if Cavs led GSW by 90-89 already and Iggy’s layup would have made it 91-90 with zero seconds to go and was blocked, that would have made that block the most significant play of the day...but it was not.

Again, in all of these, I am still struggling to figure out what this exactly has to do with my question?

SmooshCHN:
This is y'all ROTY?? (I know is has nothing to do with regular season but damn the Celtics exposed him last game and today's game was worse).



Triple Doubles has to be the most useless stats to judge someone by these days. Boy better work on his shooting ASAP.

You are gloating too soon. There is something about looking good at home and being thrash away from home. Not yet Uhuru.

Even though credit is due to Brad for drawing the right plays when it mattered.

BarthramLestat:
I hear some people try to claim Durant especially is a better player than LeBron. I try to watch their games objectively and I usually go "seriously? This guy?".

Fact of the matter is, there is LeBron and then there is everyone else in the league and the gap isn't even close at all. Anyone who tries to claim otherwise is just seeking attention.

Then he is 3-5 in the finals and it is because "he got no help".

We (un)learn every day.

popizaino:
ERUDITOR pls let us not be biased lebron James block on Iggy was more important than Kyrie's dagger 3.literally that block won them the title in 2016.

You say let us not be biased then conclude that 91-89 (which would have been the score without the block) is better than 92-89 which the 3 made the scoreline to be. Which was not even my point.

You can read my post again to see the question I asked.

Thank goodness I did not waste my time in watching these foolish Raptors.

Even Pacers put up a better fight.

SIRcumalot:
Do explain.

I have been watching him recently. Forget his father...the hype...poor shooting mechanism or that he is less explosive. He is the best passer in his draft class and reads the game very well. What he really needs is to work on his shooting and his mentality the rest will come.

Many times with these explosive players who force things people tend to get swooned by them and give them greater credit than they deserve. But I would prefer to look out for a levelheaded player whose vision and mentality are assets that can be honed and I think Lonzo has it in a way only Ben Simmons gets close to in this draft class. Where Lonzo edges it is that Simmons sees it and sometimes gets it. Whereas Lonzo sees it and can get it. Let Lakers just shake their roster and have less of the same power players and Lonzo’s brilliance will show.
