Sports NBA Playoffs 2018

[Ted Williams' head]

I don't know a lot about basketball, I find it to be a silly, joyless sport for the most part.

But what I do know is you can't beat King James. He's superman. He's the best to ever play. Nobody goes "harder in the paint" than Lebron.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Jesus. The Warriors can shoot the hell out of the ball. I was fast and lobbed 3s constantly, but that whole team is next level. I have been adamant the Larry Bird was a better pure shooter than Steph, but fuckin a, I am becoming a convert.

I don't like him, but when he's on like he was in 2 of those games against the Raptors, it is very difficult to beat him.

He is up there
can make an argument for the best
lots of guys in the conversation though

But Lebron is vastly underrated...he is just an amazing athlete and he chose to focus on basketball

He'll never be Jordan.

I saw both...

I love to watch both

Warriors will beat the Rockets in 6 games

 

[Mix6APlix]

Lebrown is a fucking chump. I'd beat him faster than I beat Antoine Walker.

it's a completely different league, the stat guys figured out the most efficient shots are 3's & dunks/layups, post play is obsolete these days unless you could transport a prime Hakeem/Shaq type, less physical defense allowed these days, in Jordan's day it was tougher to double team b/c of illegal D rules, the list goes on.

impossible to say how either'd do in the other's generation, but I think they would've figured it out. they're #1 & 1A, the two most dominant in their eras & the greatest I've seen

Jordan wouldn’t have been half as good if it wasn’t for Bill Cartwright, Bill Wennington, and Luc Longley.

Fact!!

Yep
and you brought up my favorite

so smooth...so many moves...fundamentals

I used to draw so many fouls imitating Hakeem moves/fakes

one of my favorites too, wish Jordan hadn't played baseball to see those 2 in a finals together. always cracked me up how The Dream & Shaq both seemed to take a certain pleasure in abusing David Robinson

Different eras. Different rules. But Jordan is GOAT. I sat 2nd row in Chicago stadium, in my Celtics tee shirt, and booed Jordan when he was introduced. And I'm a Celtics fan, but somethings shouldn't be denied.

I was a portland fan...he ripped my heart out

this is fun, cutting Covington's minutes & taking him out of the starting lineup is something the Sixers should have done earlier.

 

[maurice]

Covington is a very good 3 and D player. This is more about McConnell being criminally underrated.

yep
but he can't handle a boomerang

Covington is one of my favorite players but he's been mostly terrible in the playoffs & had been struggling from the field & three point percentage the last couple months of the season. he was getting beat down the court by a guy with a bad hammy on a regular basis earlier this series & just wasn't being the stopper he had been on D. I think he's injured, just not something that'd keep him out or make the injury report

you're very correct about McConnell, love that guy too. very hard to root against this Sixers team

 

[Mix6APlix]

Nice run to end the 1st half for Boston. Let's keep it up so we can go fist fuck LeBron.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Celts are going to fuck this up.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Shocked that Boston won.
