NBA Playoffs Season 2014-2015

[SHAQATTACK]

Man ...I wonder if Cavs fans are upset about the game ?

Ah, that wonder of the message board!  The guy who supposedly disagrees while actually admitting you are right.  I never said LeBron went to Cleveland because he thought he'd immediately win a title.

And here we have that other wonder of the message board, selective reading to support whatever your own argument is.


(Hint: You said he went to Cleveland because it would be easier to win a title there; I explicitly disagreed with this notion)

Has anyone else noticed that Draymond Green and Brandon Bass look very alike? That caught my eye while I was watching the game.

I've been wondering who Dray's face reminds me of.

Green was cloned , but NOT given Bass hands

LOL. Hey speaking of Bass, does anyone else wish the Warriors had traded for him last summer? I do but not because I want Bass off the team but because I want him playing on a contender. He would have given them another man to cover Lebron. He may not have the 3ball but he could have been useful to them.

I mentioned this in another thread I hope its ok to repeat it since being brought up again.....

I agree, I always thought Bass did a great job on lebron, he definitely bothered the queen with his physicality.  I may be biased as I'm a big Bass fan, he doesn't miss games, very durable and a TRUE professional.  I'd love to pick up a couple free agents if possible and keep Bass on the C's but if we are going through another year of re-building I may prefer to see him on a contender.  He would have been a great fit (and one more defender for lebron) on an already deep golden state team and get a ring.   although I was rooting against the clippers this year (for the draft pick) he could have helped them a lot as well, it seems he's good friends with cp3 so maybe he'll be called upon during free agency, they could use him!

he definitely did go back because it would be easy to win more titles long term than the heat





That and for the story of coming home

ironically Brandon Bass sat next to me aisle/aisle on the way back from the mayweather/pacman fight.  we talked a bit about matchups, he was pulling for the clips at that time.

In regards to who will win the finals Bass picks the Cavs.  Contingent on the likely event that it would end up a G.S./CAV finals we made a decent sized bet, I took G.S.

And this is a problem because.......

Ray and KG went to CS because it would easier to win Kobe wanted to get traded so that it would easier to win. Are ppl knocking him for making smart decisions in his career? Isnt every suppose to be able to control his own destiny? Esp when he was never handed Championship rosters on a plate to starts his career?

Next time you have an important decision in your life like:

-Going to a top level school vs low-level school

-Staying in a **** job with very little prospects vs going for a better job with much better career prospects

-Cutting a **** friend/family member/gF out of your life vs keeping them around so that they can keep leeaching of your positivity

Those kind of decision. When next you are presented with such situations, sit down. Weigh the pro & cons of such situations and then intentionally choose the WRONG decision

So yh from now on please intentionally make bad decisions in your life. Because apparently thats exactly the same thing ppl expect Lebron to do

I agree with you. But this is not your daily job or your private life.
This is a team sport. If you don't settle at one point, you are all alone.
Lebron had a great game with 44 pts but the Cavs lost.
I don't see where he excel at the defense event, nor where he make plays for others. The only thing he does is imposing his physicality or attract enough players on him to spread the floor for easy assist.
He was in a better situation in Miami with a solid defensive team and great teammates that could win games without him.
But he thinks he can win it all every season and be better than Jordan.
Sorry Lebron's lovers but this guy is just an immature selfish player.

[SHAQATTACK]

Cavs need to play other players , let a TEAM effort push them .  LeBron needs to play at 30 -35 minutes .  So at end of game or OT effort he has some energy .

Great individual,effort .....but , it's still a team sport .    I kept thinking tennis match the whole,time......LeBron pounding the ball or Irving pounding the ball .....then one of them let's flyna shot .......I saw no team effort ...except by accident . 

The coach did an awful job with Irving and LeBrons minutes .  IF he actually has any say ...which I doubt ....that's why they pick nobody coaches .......real,coaches would want control of,the game ...like normal TEAM sports.

They played wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to much .  Other players need to contribute , find a shooting rhythm , be part of the team.......

Cavs play a school ground brand of basket ball .......he does not look professional ......same way as the Heat .    Maybe worse.

What reason is their to even have a coach ,,if he has no,control .

SSShhhhhh..... don't give them the blueprint to win.
Let them have Lebron and Kyrie play 40+ minutes each game... oops Kyrie won't be playing much minutes now. What a joke this franchise Lebron is.

If he does they'll get blown out. Especially with Irving down, they have no one that can attack the basket and score. Cleveland is in HUGE trouble.

[fairweatherfan]

Either way, Cleveland made no shots in overtime (aside from that meaningless layup at the end). That's pretty impressive, all things considered.

Golden State pulled that one out in spite of Curry and Thompson combining for 2-10 in the first quarter. Props to them: glad to see Iggy playing as well as he has been too, that dude is seriously underrated.

I've long been a fan of Iggy.  Not enough was made of how he went to Denver and made them a borderline juggernaut, at least in the regular season.  That team winning 55+ games was ridiculous.

Also appreciated those Philly teams with Andre, wished they could have gotten him some better support.  Too bad that he couldn't get to a really good team when he was still good enough to be a really fantastic #2 or #3, but coming up as a hero in the Finals would be a great way to put a bow on his career.

Thirding the Iggy love, I always hated that he spent most of his career on a series of bad-to-mediocre Sixers teams.  He needed to be on a team where he wasn't the best player.

...but, "put a bow on his career"?  Dude's only 31!  If he sticks with his current kind of role, he's got at least another 3-4 seasons of effective play left I think.

[D.o.s.]

I don't see where he excel at the defense event, nor where he make plays for others. The only thing he does is imposing his physicality or attract enough players on him to spread the floor for easy assist.

I don't think you could split hairs any finer if you wanted to.
