if we took points off for being arrogant fan, about 80% of Celtics fanbase must be shot.

LeBron would never be the GOAT. No until he stops being arrogant. His attitude clearly shows he doesn't care about hsi teammates, he just saw them as objects to achieve his goal. Sure he'll make the cavs organitzation trade them all because was their fault to not give lady James a ring.

so the fact that Michael Jordan is a bigger arrogant douchebag than LeBron disqualifies him from being the greatest as well?

[big-shot-ROB]

MJ can be what ever he wants, if he was a pussy he'll be the GOAT as well. All I was saying is that LeBron should shut up his mouth, he'll be 2-5 on the finals, he is a crying-reff baby, he doesn't care about his teammates, he even appeared on a national Tv programme to say where he was going on free agency, ...

I just hope the new generation of basketball players focuses more on the attitude of KD.

[NovU]

Michael Jordan may have been a douche but he wasn't stupid like LBJ.

That's really the problem. It's even contagious. His bandwagon is full of idiots, this thread is a living proof.

[Mandich]

He'll be 2-4 in the finals.

Lol NovU you're getting pathetic.

[Andrew]

So looking ahead to tomorrow...do the Warriors clinch, or do the Cavs force Game 7?

I expect LeBron to have another big game, but the Warriors seem to have found their touch, their confidence, and line-ups that work. Another monster performance from LeBron and home court advantage might not be enough to overcome a Warriors team that's starting to roll. If Curry's cooking again, it could well end up being another comfortable lead as the fourth wears on. As has been noted several times already, the Cavs have looked gassed.

I also expect the Warriors will stay the course with their small ball line-up. To that end, it'll be interesting to see what adjustments the Cavs make. They tried staying big, but the Warriors won comfortably when they let Mozgov get his. They went small in Game 5 and it worked for a while, but the Warriors still ran away with the game.

[NovU]

I expect LeBron to have another big game,

I think it's inevitable. The Warriors aren't going to double team unless in close late game where they know he'll take a shot. Iggy nor Barnes is going to stop him alone.

He'll be 2-4 in the finals.

Lol NovU you're getting pathetic.

Sir, you are the one pathetic, bandwagoner. If you have time to go around and call people pathetic, you're definitely pathetic.

[Kevin]

I kind of want GSW to lose in the next game so they can hold the trophy up in their homecourt in Game 7.

[Mandich]

Maybe you should read my older posts where I discuss LeBron as a player I don't prefer, but even that won't help you from getting butthurt. Stats don't lie.

All I hear is LeBron hurt me, LeBron sucks, LeBron is a bitch, when in reality he's doing great while your team wasn't even in the Playoffs and you try to throw hate at him whenever you can. Real classy. You're the man. The pathetic man.

It would be awesome if the Cavs force game 7. But Warriors are finally showing how talented and deep they are, so they'll probably end it in 6.

[NovU]

I am not butthurt or anything but just couldn't understand your blatant attack out of nowhere calling me pathetic even though it's clear you have some beef with me. Why would you initiate attack like that? If you did that in the street you'd get pummeled to death, don't you think? I was rather civil dealing with you. You have this problem going after people blatantly. And you also fail to tell sarcasm/jokes from being serious. Grow up kid seriously.

I kind of want GSW to lose in the next game so they can hold the trophy up in their homecourt in Game 7.

Yeah, I am guessing ceremony will be done in empty arena. LBJ bandwagoners will probably leave early because of decided outcome just as they will turn off the TV and stay away from NBA forums until he comes back next year.

[Mandich]

If you did that in the street you'd get pummeled to death, don't you think?

Do you even listen to how hilarious you sound ?

Off-topic, time to stop. It's not like I get anything useful from getting into a discussion with a wall.

[NovU]

You take yourself way too seriously, kid. Pathetic.

[shadowgrin]

LeBron should shut up his mouth, he'll be 2-5 on the finals

Charles Barkley should get off TV since he's 0/1 in Finals. Should take Reggie Miller along with him.

I just hope the new generation of basketball players focuses more on the attitude of KD.

lol KD, he's even a bigger (passive-aggressive) dick, deleted his comments on social media where he was hating on Kawhi Leonard for being Finals MVP.
Not to mention quitting on Team USA just because Paul George got injured. If players had KD's attitude no one would want to play for and represent their country.

[Kevin]

He probably deleted it because he has shame. He knows that if more people see that, he'll be labeled as an asshole so he deleted it.

TBH, I'd probably do the same if I saw George's injury personally. It's not because he's too good to be included in Team USA, he's just wary of his health condition.

[shadowgrin]

Doesn't change the fact that his expressed opinion is reflective of what a total asshole he is even if he deleted it for the sake of keeping his asshole opinion to himself.

Then explain the other players that didn't quit on the team when they saw George's injury.

[Kevin]

True. It's all about respecting other people's opinions, I guess.

Then explain the other players that didn't quit on the team when they saw George's injury.

They probably saw it and considered it as bad luck. But if you have KD's physique, don't you think you'd also be afraid if, by any chance, that happens to you?

[Mandich]

His physique has nothing to with the kind of injury George suffered. That was just a freak accident no leg would've survived. I watched hiss offseason documentary when he quit. Still haven't quite understood the reason. Said he was tired. Only reason I could think of he wanted to improve his individual skills even more and saw USA as a time waste.

Coming into a game with the fear of getting injured is somewhat stupid as there is only so much you can prepare your body for.

I agree with the fact Durant has become kind of a deek since his emergence, probably because the media kept calling him the 2nd best player in the world, even after he won his MVP.

[Andrew]

Should take Reggie Miller along with him.

Nothing to do with Reggie being 0/1 in the Finals, but that wouldn't be the worst thing. It did seem like he and C-Webb were competing to see who could be a worse commentator. Then of course, TNT's coverage ends, the NBA Finals begins, and Mark Jackson shows them how it's done.

[NovU]

1) How is not playing for a national team makes anyone a dick? Is it like his absence was seriously jeopardizing team USA? More so doesn't it give others opportunity to play for fame? Why is still-capable LBJ not playing again? Isn't that a dick move too? Pathetic Logic if you ask me.

2) How is tweeting a basketball opinion a dick move? It's just his opinion, shouldn't you consider it more of a stupid opinion(maybe why he deleted) than less dick move to say so?


Does KD claim to be the king? Did KD announce his decision to not play for a national team on national TV? Did he fuck up his team like he did CLE and MIA? Did he fuck up his so called BFF like he did Wade? Yeah, KD's a bigger douche, alrite.

These so called Kobe fans would claim everyone dicks while guarding Kobe with utmost lame reasons. These people serve devils yet point fingers at minor sinners.

[Andrew]

It's a discussion that could probably be spun off into another thread, but as far as Durant is concerned, it was definitely a miscalculation to vaguely cite "mental fatigue" - which kind of reminded me of the euphemism in Australian and British parliament of politicians being "tired and emotional" (read: drunk or hungover) - and then later changing his story. Given that he was dealing with some lingering injuries and required surgery, it would've been better to tell the truth: "I just saw a teammate suffer a horrific freak injury and as it is, I'm dealing with an injury of my own that requires surgery and I don't want to take any chances with. I'm sorry to do it, but I'm going to have to back out."

[shadowgrin]

True. It's all about respecting other people's opinions, I guess.

Durant is free to express his opinion that Kawhi didn't deserve the Finals MVP same way any person is free to express the opinion that KD's opinion is that of an asshole.
'Respecting other people's opinions' is not a blanket that gives opinions, especially stupid opinions, immunity from criticism.

Less Reliable is rather generous. He's only making a third of his shots this series, Della and shumpert the same thing.

I think Smith's a little like Zach Randolph in that regard, albeit a bit less reliable and a bit lower down in the pecking order. He's going to have those knuckle-headed moments, but in the right situation, he can settle down a bit and be effective.

Zack had a couple of bad moves on and off the court early in his career but since he left Portland hes being all business and i think the being a knucklehead thing is just his toughness on court during games. He may get into it with people like Blake Griffin but hes just standing his ground imo.

JR he has being in the league since 2004 and he the talent to be a great player, alot better than what he has been but he is so immature on and off court and its something he has never grown out of.

If there was any type of night life in Cleveland then JR would be messing up more like he was in NY, i was glad that we parted ways with JR...
