OT: Cavs vs. Warriors (Who Wins the NBA Finals?)

[rochrist]

I think it's ridiculous to say it's ridiculous that a guy that statistically dominated the other to the tune of doubling him up in points, +5 rpg, +10 FG% was actually the better player.

Yes, because it's all about the flashy numbers, and who cares who wins the championships. No wonder you love LeBron. You must have worshiped at the idol of Peyton.

A lot of times, people just repeat the stuff they've heard without really fact-checking it or analyzing it (and that goes for deflategate as well, which explains why I've been the turd in that punchbowl as well). This bothers me. People (often from Boston, but it is more widespread than that) often claim Russell is top 5 or the GOAT without ever having seen him play, based primarily on team accomplishments. His stats, especially given the lack of talent at his position during his time, call his exalted position into question. From highlights, you can tell he was fantastically athletic for his time, and all agree he was a great teammate and leader. Apparently, though, Russ's offensive game was pretty weak overall. Based on that, it seems unlikely that he deserves to be among the very greatest players of all time.

So it's everybody else's fault that you are a ****.

Later Shank.

LeChoad James down by 8 at the half ... I'm happy.

 

[RobertWeathers]

LaMope is pulling into the parking lot. Should make it in by the 4th qtr again.

Peace be with you, Ivan. I will be here discussing with the many here who can tolerate those with an opposing viewpoint.

 

[varjao]

A classic LeChoke's special tonite

 

[IcyPatriot]

Irving is playing harder than LePud.

 

[Kontradiction]

Curry is fortunate that he has a squad around him because he has played like ass thus far.

 

[IcyPatriot]

LeChoad is getting called for traveling ...

Why did it take so long for that?

After how many years?

 

[Kontradiction]

Why are they suddenly calling traveling on LeBron? Did one of these refs put money on Golden State?

 

[letekro]

Yes, because it's all about the flashy numbers, and who cares who wins the championships. No wonder you love LeBron. You must have worshiped at the idol of Peyton.

Teams win championships, not individual players. You only need to watch tonight's game to appreciate the distinction.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Why are they suddenly calling traveling on LeBron? Did one of these refs put money on Golden State?

Calling it right for a change ...

 

[IcyPatriot]

LeTurnover now ...

 

[Kontradiction]

Lol, so is LeBron going to leave again if Cleveland loses this series?

 

[Kontradiction]

Calling it right for a change ...

No doubt, but why are they picking now?

 

[juny]

Warriors are clearly the better team. Their team defense is really good. Love and Irving have done nothing so far. Jr smith hasn't done anything either

 

[IcyPatriot]

Lol, so is LeBron going to leave again if Cleveland loses this series?

**** stay away from Boston ...

 

[Kontradiction]

**** stay away from Boston ...

He'll probably try to come back to Miami. Either us or the Lakers if they manage to snag Durant. I really don't think he'll stay in Cleveland. I think he'll **** them again at the drop of a hat.

 

[ausbacker]

**** stay away from Boston ...

I hope he stays in Cleveland and continues to play the roles of star player, GM, and coach. He's only good at one of those so hopefully, the Cs attract some top level talent because they are considerably better than the Cavs at GM and HC.

"...given the lack of talent at his position during his time..." You mean guys like Wilt Chamberlain, Walter Dukes, Willis Reed, Nate Thurmond and Walt Bellamy? You gotta be f###### kidding me...
