If Boston can force 7 turnovers from LeNomad again that would also help They have 3 to 4 guys they can throw at Bron to limit his efficiency. I doubt the Cavs shoot the 3 that badly as well. Its just one game. Long series ahead |

A40:From the little highlights I watched, seems the Celtics were closing down the three point line quickly, something raptors failed to do, and pacers did well in some games. The games were pacers closed the theee point line efficiently, It was a struggle for the Cavs. The key to having any shot against Lebron to me is throwing different bodies at him and letting him make those passes and Celtics closing the three point line quickly. Any games korver gets hot, Cleveland is going to win. Korver getting hot is something the Celtics should be wary of. |

benji93: ![]() I am picking the Cavs to win the series out of respect for Lebron. He has dominated the east for years now. Although, if he losses, it is certain he isn’t going to stay with this team. Especially against a Celtics team without two of its best players. |

What happened between Stephen a smith and Lebron? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:54am On May 14, 2018 |
donlittle25:If I know LeNomad at all then he is going to be uber-aggressive in Game 2 and try to put his defenders in early foul trouble. Horford should also watch out because he might be a victim For me they have to defend the 3pt line and avoid a shootout. Its unlikely Korver stays cold the entire series but they have to control the tempo and resist the urge to make this a shooting contest. They need to take advantage of LeNomad who would try to be a hero in Game 2 and let him be the guy to try and beat Boston all by himself. Stay on the other shooters and don't be too eager to play help defense Credit to Stevens for not panicking and taking Morris out when he had early foul trouble. That helped him a lot to stay in rhythm on offense while Tatum and Rozier were a bit lost. Made numerous timely buckets to kill off any Cavs run |

donlittle25:Called Stephen fake news. He was one of LeNomad's biggest stans prior to that |

A40:Baba, Ovy and the Caps are 2-0 and the series moves to DC. I have to admit the Caps are horrible on home ice. |

NictisZorander:Lol. The bum was watching the NBA in 2005 but somehow he's a full fledged warriors fan ![]() |

With the day I've had LeBron can cry in TD Garden after being swept and I won't care because I've already won it all. ![]() In fact. I don't care about the NBA anymore. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:26pm On May 14, 2018 |
Difference between LeBron and Jordan is we get to nitpick everything LeBron does while we smooth over everything Jordan does like he is some kind of god which the NBA marketed him to be. He was in fact a great scorer and what he did in popularizing the sport no one will come close. But in terms of basketball IQ, ability and the impact one man can make on a team, there has never been anyone like LeBron. LeBrons skill set and physical gifts allow him to be a truly complete player and while Jordan is the greatest scorer of all time LeBron is the basketball player of all time. If you don't believe it now you will when he retires. I'm posting this for those who believe in the infallibility of the bald one and believe he never had days like this. He did, a lot.

BarthramLestat:a lot? Do you really believe that? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:40pm On May 14, 2018 |
donlittle25:Yes. He had multiple games where he either shot badly or scored below 20. Sometimes he still went on to win because they had such a great team and a great coach. By a lot I mean given his standards. The problem now is whenever LeBron has a bad game the autism brigade comes out shouting "is this your goat" as if Jordan never had an off day. SMH. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 2:42pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:in the playoffs? List 5 of these games. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:50pm On May 14, 2018 |
donlittle25:How about this, the man shot an average of 42.9% for his last 15 finals games. Westbrick/Kobrick would be proud. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 2:51pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:aye man, I am trying to learn something from you. Just list the games. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:51pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:No, we are not all bipolar liars like you.
|
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:55pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:As expected. Regular backpackers who are always back on the bandwagon. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:58pm On May 14, 2018 |
donlittle25:How the Bleep am I supposed to know all the friggin games, wasnt even born for some of these games darn it! How about you go dig out all his games and if he didn't have at least 10 games like today or worse in the finals? ![]() Here's one. How about 5/19 in 1996 NBA finals game 6? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:59pm On May 14, 2018 |
Eruditor:SMH How do you expect me or anyone else to take you seriously (not that I ever did in the first place) after admitting you're a shameless disgusting bandwagon jumper. Embarrassing, fvck out of my mentions you shameless prostitute. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:00pm On May 14, 2018 |
Eruditor:Go away prostitute. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:00pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:Wanna bet this stat is a fugazi? Jordan never played the Knicks in 97 Playoffs. Never. He played Washington Bullets, ATL Hawks and Miami Heats. LOL. MENSA? More like MENSO. Look it up. ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:02pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:I admire the special brand of phoolish that you are. Who did you support in 2009? 2012? 2016? Wanna bet that it was 3 different teams? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:05pm On May 14, 2018 |
Eruditor:That's not my tweet you im becile. point is he might as well have and he did in 1989 which I'm guessing this fella wanted to say.I swear this guy has never made a non cringy post. Either he's talking refs or trying to quote some.dumb lyrics or making the dryest jokes you'll ever see. LOL ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:06pm On May 14, 2018 |
Eruditor:No, just two dumbass. But at least there's one variable. LeBron. At least I have some form of loyalty whether he wins or lose. This shameless prostitute just jumps on whoever is winning. SMH. Go away hoe. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:07pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:You said the man has a lot of games that he made less than 20 points. I am asking you to list 5 in the playoffs so we can look it up. But here you are, running your mouth like a scalded dog. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:08pm On May 14, 2018 |
Eruditor: ![]() Posting all that nonsense but he can't verify it first. With all the internet man has access to you know. List 5, he is talking nonsense |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:10pm On May 14, 2018 |
donlittle25:I gave you that I know of. Go look for the other. O ain't your bitch. Point is they exist. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:13pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:I do not know of anyone with an IQ of yours who make claims without fact to back it up. You said a lot but only able to bring up one, and the one you listed has been brought up as false. Act your IQ man. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:14pm On May 14, 2018 |
donlittle25:http://www.michaeljordansworld.com/statistics/points_60_50_40_30_20_10.htm He scored 10 - 19 points 6 times in the playoffs. And this is a pure scorer who primarily just scores. Let's not forget about his bad shooting nights of which I gave you an example. There are many more of those. Today LeBron isn't faulted for only scoring 15 today but for his poor shooting. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:16pm On May 14, 2018 |
donlittle25:I didn't list anything false here. The year the fela posted on twitter was supposed to be 1989 not 1997. And Jordan did shoot 5/19 in the 1996 finals game 6 did he not? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:20pm On May 14, 2018 |
BarthramLestat:We are talking about the playoffs. We are talking about the damn playoffs. Michael jordan doesn't just score. He is a better defender than Lebron James. He is 6.6 and has career averages of 6.2 rbg He is a SG that averaged 5.3 APG over the course of his career. |
