NBA 2017-18 Season

Winning the Eastern Conference is not impressive given the East is the "B" Conference.

LeBron did this. For his entire career, he and his posse have neutered the teams head coaches. Tyronn Lue is a borderline mascot, not a coach. You never saw Tim Duncan, Kobe, or MJ treat their head coaches like this.

LeBron doesn't play within in a system, he's an extremely egotistical player. I watch the Warriors and Celtics play, well, they play defense and pass the ball. LeBron is a ball hog whose defense/defensive effort has noticeably declined.

You may want to ask Doug Collins about how Jordan treated coaches he did not respect.

Bron shows his age on D. And, he is not on the same level as MJ or Scottie on that side of the ball. Few people are.
 
Also,

Kyrie was traded. The Cavs did not have to trade him.

I am going to enjoy you becoming an LA Lakers fan next year when LA Bron joins Hollywood.

Cleveland is lottery bound. They will be the worst team in the NBA without Lebron. They wont win 20 games.

I'm not a Cavs fan or a Lebron fan. I'm a good story fan. And, for the past few years, Lebron in Cleveland was a good story. It may end in a few days or it may not. I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

This is why the morons who say that teams like the Knicks of the 90's could beat modern clubs like Houston, GS or Cleveland have no idea what the **** they are talking about. The Detroit Bad Boys would probably be a lottery team today. I'm not even sure the second Bulls squad with Harper and Rodman could compete with the likes of Curry and Durant. And, I know that first team with Cartwright and Livingstone would not stand a chance.
 
30-point ass kicking. 116 to 86, Cavs.

Game 4 is next.

I've always had a soft spot for the 1973 New York Knicks.
 
Warriors sure look good when they play for real. Day-um.
 
Cavs proved that it takes a win in Boston to own this series. Current state tied 2-2

When 3/4 of the warriors top 4 are clicking, they are virtualy unbeatable.

Let's be straight here. Warriors have two guys good for 35 at anytime. and, they have 4 more who can play solid D, with 20 plus a oat load of assists, blocks and rebounds.

Warriors are a machine, when they are on.

Houston is not afraid.
 
If you can play ferocious defense against the Warriors, you have a chance.

I am surprised from this level of defense from a team coached by that guy.

Can't tell if last night was just luck. Warriors outplayed them, IMO.

The Rockets played well, however, I do not trust them to seal the deal. Harden is a known choker who has tanked in playoff games in the past. I remember Chris Paul on the Clippers when his team allowed the Rockets to do this:

The score was 70 Rockets, 89 Clippers and they LOST by 12 points!!!

 
1 more loss and big game James goes home to LA!

I doubt he goes to LA. Why join the Ball Freak Show?

Magic Johnson has compared Lonzo to a young MJ. Are u questioning the scouting ability of the great Magic Johnson?

okay......

Lonzo Ball is easily a top 3 passer in the NBA right now. This is a very conservative estimate, but within three years, he will be-be top five in pgs among assists/turnover ratio, assists, rebounds, and double-doubles.

And when I talk about the point guard position I am referring to the actual job of the point guard: set plays, run the offense, create scoring opportunities for his teammates, set the pace of a game.

The primary job of the point guard is not to score points. I am truly looking at the point guard position for its intended purpose.

I wasn't questioning Ball, just Magic's scouting ability.

perhaps you are correct but Magic is the best recruiter in the NBA. When he speaks, LeBron will listen.
