NBA: MLK Day Games Thread

[100%duncan]

That's just conjecture - I showed you the numbers that back up my assertion they are better & my soft science points are equally as strong as yours. You've made no real case to support your opinion. That's ok, I just dismiss it though.

Yours is too, they have really improved a lot to go from winning 2 out of 6 to getting blown out by nearly 40 at half-time. It's ok.

laugh all you want, but when was the last time u took a team and thought they'd moonwalk to the finals because they had 1 player... jordan's bulls

If any of the Laker playoff teams were in the EC, we'd electric slide into the Finals. Stop giving LeHype credit for doing something she is supposed to do: make it out of the ty East

[D-Wade]

Love

[LkrFan]

Of course he will. Doesn't mean the East isn't better. I'm not saying it's a world-beater conference, but it's improved. They aren't playing the Lakers 82 games a year.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Lakers have nothing to do with your take. -15 points son.

[LkrFan]

They should eject that asswipe. He tryna hurt somebody.

what? I literally provided you statistics that support what I've said. That's literally the opposite of conjuncture.

[~O~]

Flagrant.

That's a smart call. The Cavs have been taking their frustration off of not being good enough. That isn't clean classy basketball. After what lebron tried to pull in the first half, they're aren't going to let that fly.

[ElNono]

what a complete skull ing... i am dissapoint, tbh

[LkrFan]

Ejected? LeHype has no one to bail him out now!

[Cry Havoc]

Wow they tossed someone for running through a screen? The ?

NBA out to protect the Dubs.

[DPG21920]

They played better after Love went down. Thompson and Mop Head > Love, collectively. Kyrie out there tonight looking to "prove a point" instead of using his speed to break down the defense and set his team up for easy buckets.

Funny part about it is neither still has Finals experience. If they make it and play either the Champs or the Spurs, I don't really see either one bring a difference maker. LeHype should have stayed in South Beach tbh.

You were saying that last year and they gave GS a great series.

[spursistan]

getting close to be down 40 at home..

What? Didnt you say in your first post that they are better because of playoff experience? Correct me if Im wrong, didnt love go down in the 1st round? Didnt Kyrie go down in the finals? Didnt they rely on Smith and Shumpert because 2 of their best 3 players either laid eggs or were out? Playoff experience in the East my ass. That was all on Lebron. Still is now.

He trucked him on purpose. JR has done a lot of dirty stuff when he's mad.

[UZER]

Kevin Love has no heart.

He's a paycheck collector.

What does that have to do with the numbers I provided you? And yes, Kyrie got two full rounds of playoff experience. As did everyone who played that had never made it that far.

If they're going to throw a player out every time someone lowers his shoulder, there won't be many NBA games that are completed with 10 players on the court.

Ehhh. Disagree. There was some intent there Imo. Plus JR has history.

[coachmac87]

Well this is an eye opener for sure....How you going to be down 35 at home?!?!?

[Thebesteva]

Poor LeBRONZE

[JoeTait75]

I'm a little concerned that these Cavaliers are the new-school '90s Buffalo Bills. LBJ as Jim Kelly, Kyrie as Thurman Thomas, Delly as Steve Tasker and Love as... Pete Metzelaars? Keith McKeller, maybe?

Not all players do it with the intent that JR Smith did it. Jr Smith did that on purpose in order to injure someone, because they were getting their ass kicked, and because he thought he could get away with it like LeBron did in the first half with the consequence of a lesser call such as a basic foul. Let it be unforgotten that LeBron did the same damn thing to Curry in the previous game and got away with it. The call was based on what the Cavs intentions were. They aren't better than the Warriors so they resort to making non basketball plays. The refs finally did right thing by controlling the game.

They tossed him and he deserved it. That's what weak players do.

Agree 100%. JR has been a knucklehead too many times to let that slide.

[D-Wade]

WTF happened to Mozgov

[ElNono]

Dubs just running the high pick and roll non-stop, Love always trapping like and leaving Raymond wide open... rinse and repeat
