Warriors: Joe Lacob's ego is STILL out-of-control

[Ice009]

CN. I get you enjoy calling out State for choking ...
But if State choked doesnt take away from Lebron's epic accomplishment in this series?
Rather than focuse on State choking THIS is the time to heap praises on James.

You say Laker fans are trying to detract from what LeBron did, but to me all the excuses the media and some fans whine about Draymond's suspension, The refs, Steph's knee, Igggy's back, Barnes sucking or even just saying state "choked" etc. ...
Is taking the focus away from James and the wrath of destruction he wreaked on both ends.

That block was one of the best I have ever seen and I saw Prime Coop, Dream, etc.
The back to back 40 point games in the finals has only be done by peak Shaq in 2000, Prime MJ and prime Jerry west.
LeBron is probably past his prime and he still dropped 2 40 ounces on the dubs.

That block is one of the main things I keeping going back to in game 7 - even more than Kyrie's three. That was an incredible, incredible block, one of the best I've ever seen. Steve Smith or Grant Hill asked him if he was trying to also block for a reverse layup and I think James said he was going for both. If you watch the replay, his left hand was on the other side of the backboard, so if Andre tried a reverse layup, he might have blocked that too. Also, how the in the did he have the energy to go for that block at the end of game 7 of the NBA finals after already having played 45 minutes up to that point is insane.

btw, Joe Lacob is coming off as a complete and utter .

I'm sure there have been others but the Nash Suns were playing small ball before Curry was ever even drafted lol

Warriors...what a gy organization.

To be fair, they're the first small ball team thag actually plays defense..I guess in that sense they were the first team.

Smallball was introduced by Miami iirc

The first team that won a championship by featuring small-ball without a true center was none other than the '96 Bulls:
-Rodman/Kukoc/Pippen/Jordan/Harper

Well, GS did kinda invent small-ball, but it was not this incarnation. Nellie-ball was before the time of most of these players and many of the owners.

It depends on what folks considering small-ball but you can go back to the early 80s when Bird used to start at power forward although they had a true center in Parrish & closed out games w/ McHale.

Horry was also considering SFs when he became a the starting PF on the '95 Rockets after Otis Thorpe was traded mid-season ala Draymond becoming a PF after David Lee's injury.

Run DMC my friend. Then the Billy Owens GSW.

I guess Lacob was kind of right, the Warriors did come up with small ball.

Pretty sure it was TMC. Tim, Mitch, Chris.

[DMC]

Yep.

Media didn't do that to you in '13. They permitted, no they scooted you out of town while praising Riley, Wade, James and the Heat as cover.

Ignored is ignored.

Ignored is ignored.

A conspiracy of silence. Let State lead 3-1 with two more at home and lose and see what happens. Let the Lakers have their ropes hung, their sold in Miami and lose and see what happens.

You got a hand down, D. Then, at that time, then it was not your time and you were permitted to go on your way in peace.

When the aforementioned succeed they are paraded around for months. When the Spurs succeed they get one day on the front page then it's about James and Bryant's off season plans. You want spotlight you got it. Don't act like you didn't know that going in.

Pop was using Findog at the 4 back in 07.

Smallball is an invention of D'Antoni.
