Cavs in 6

WARIOS

>Phil Jackson
Most overrated person in basketball. Anyone would look like a genius coaching MJ and Pippen or Shaq and Kobe. Pat Riley is the true GOAT coach end of story

>>76130232
I recognize that the multiple Cavs coaches Lebron has burned through have looked like geniuses because Lebron was on their team. One of them even rolled it into a gig coaching the Lakers and everyone was just SHOCKED when he fucking sucked.

Phil has more rings than he has fingers, so maybe shut the fuck up.

LeBron isn't even past Kobe.

If he beats this Warriors squad I'll put him on the same level as Kobe at least. If he wins by averaging 40 I'll but him above Kobe and below Duncan, Wilt, Kareem, MJ, Russell, etc.

>Lebron has Durants # and will always
The Finals comes down to three simple things:
1. Lebron's outside game
2. Draymonds production
3. Klay's production
If either the first is not clicking or the latter two both happen strongly then it's a Warriors ship in 5-6. If #1 happens and either of the latter two doesn't then it's Cavs in 6. If all three are strong then it's a Warriors ship in 7.

Lebron is so far ahead of Kobe its hilarious. You are an ESPN slave if you think that chucker is even top 10. Horribly inefficient blackhole. Most overrated player in history who is literally Iverson with rings.

>>76130251
Kareem > MJ > Kobe = Lebron

>>76130248
>Phil has more rings than he has fingers, so maybe shut the fuck up.
Phil a shit. There isn't a coach in the league who looks up to him or his coaching style

Why do people hate Lebron? Is it because he's not "their" guy?

I'm a casual fan that only watches the playoffs and I don't even catch all of those games. Lebron is fantastic and he seems like a good dude outside of the court. I really don't get the hate. It's irrational and nonsensical to me.

>>76130290

>>76130216

Agreed. Won't need 7 games this time.

>>76130725
>Based God Curse
cringed tbqh

I think the series hinges on how well Klay Thompson performs on top of whether the Cavs get a decent amount of points out of one extra guy.

If Thompson plays how he did against the Spurs and if the Cavs manage to get ~15 points out of one extra guy (JR, Shumpert, Korver, Frye, or Deron Williams) then I think they take the series.

I have a feeling Klay is gonna pop off though.

The Kings are stupid and desperate so the Lakers need to capitalize on D'Los dimming value. They should trade Russell, Randle and Deng to the NBA's most consistently retarded franchise (The Knicks) for Melo and the #8th pick.

Draft Lonzo and Isaac
Sign Iblocka, then sign PG13 next year

>>76130782
Of Course Klay is going to pop off because the Cavs have literally zero defenders who can stop him. They have a God awful defense that will get exposed badly by the meme 3 team.

LeBron can't guard everybody.

>>76130819
Klay takes himself out of games vs the Cavs for whatever reason. They don't even need to defend him for him to disappear.

But nobody likes the players on the Warriors. So...

The Cavs have a family feel where all the players feel like brothers and they actually like being around eachother. The public can sense the sincerity and it gives them a good feeling.

The Warriors, unfortunately, have bad optics. They have smug, ornery players who, at times, clearly don't even like eachother.

So I made a thing because I'm sick and tired of people bashing Lebron and/or doubting just how fucking amazing of a talent he is.

Enjoy.

his playoff scoring record if off of less shots, all you need to know

if he wanted to be a ballhog he'd have destroyed all of mj's records

>>76130998
>less shots
But he took a lot more 3PT shots you goof. It's simple math

>>76130982

The endless GOAT threads are mind-numbing. But what makes it even worse is Lebron and Jordan don't play the same position.

>>76130290
They're a bunch of fucking MJfags and Kobefags who are afraid that LeBron will go down as the GOAT.

Kobefags are beyond saving.

The warriors are literally winning the finals and theres NOTHING (not one thing) you can do about it, /sp/.

Get triggered less loser

I'm sorry but why the fuck is this thread just filled with a bunch of children trying to argue why LeBron is the greatest of all time when it's universally accepted to be Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player ever, 6 time champion, the richest American athlete ever and one of the richest people in America? The man that three peated twice with only one other all star on his team, never allowed a game 7, and the most iconic American athlete, possibly the most iconic in human history?

This is like spitting in the face of God and trying to claim Jesus didn't exist because you're an butthurt atheist.

>>76131068
Lebron will most likely go down as the undisputed 2nd best of all time. It's possible that he goes down as the GOAT, but exceedingly unlikely unless he wins another 3 championships and unless the cultural inertia around Jordan slows.

this is like the exact opposite of what is true

Remember that Jordan skipped 2 years in his prime and the Bulls still made it to the conference semis both years. It's totally plausible that they would have won 8 in a row if he had been around.

>>76131207
LeBron fags will never recover

All of the Warriors are friends you dumb fuck. Just because you're a casual and can't see that doesn't change a thing. The Cavs are mainly a group of mercs that follow LeBron for rings

>>76131272
you give no argument.

people outside of california don't like the warriors, okay? sorry to hurt your feelings.

I want everyone healthy and playing this time goddammit. 2015 Cavs were wissing Love and Kyrie. 2016 Warriors had an injured Curry and suspended Green. Just give us a fucking series with at least the starters at full strength.

>>76131257

>>76131281
You just agreed with the post you quoted dipshit.

>>76131282
> whines like a cunt about no argument
> has no argument himself
Suicide is still on the table for you.

Tbh MJ was great no doubt the best wing scorer ever and one of the top wing defenders. He could get others involved and was no doubt a better scorer. Lebron may have done more with less and now his game continues to improve to levels that dwarf even Magics abilities to get others involved. Involved Lebrons ability to still score and defend he is second to me. MJ was the best pure basketball player I ever watched sorry.

>>76131283
>2016 Warriors had an injured Curry

lol. no. curry just sucked. and he's going to be exactly the same this year.

>>76131281
KD should have followed LeBron for rings instead of getting BTFO again.

>>76131290
Sure, but that can be used to argue two different and opposite ways.

>>76131292
I made my argument with my first post. My argument is what triggered your dumb ass.

>>76131296
Why does no one want to admit that Curry has choked two finals in a row and is about to make it three?

If they win, it will be because KD and Draymond carried them.

>>76131283
>suspended Green
he got away with kicking Steven Adam's balls TWICE.
If he got suspended even once against OKC they would have lost and KD would have stayed. Fuck Draymond and fuck these refs.

>>76131302

You made a statement that has been verified as false throughout the season on national fucking television.

>>76131310
That doesn't change the fact that he wasn't on the court, which was the entire point. It's not a value judgment. It's a simple statement of fact.

I've watched 5 or 6 western conference playoff games this season the day after they occurred using this site.

pls note that the site sometimes has 'placeholder' listings for some games that did not occur (games 5,6,7 of a 4 game sweep may be listed but obviously are not viewable, ignore them).

So, Chuck's top 10:
1. Jordan
2. Oscar Robertson

It still makes me puke that a team that won 73 games also goes and gets the arguably second best player in the league.

Do people unironically have LeBron top 3 already? I can't believe the disrespect to Magic, Bird, etc.

If he wins this finals, I'm fine with him being top 4. I'd say he's Magic level. One less ring, but you could argue that that first Cleveland ring counted nearly as two because of the historical impact and the team he beat.

I had some guy argue he was top 2 all-time already when I was getting my haircut today, absolute nonsense. People say that because they desperately want to be able to say they were around when "the GOAT" is playing.

MJ is leagues above not just LeBron but everyone else except Kareem, who has an outside argument. Magic, Bird, Wilt and Russell after a power gap, then another power gap with Duncan, Kobe, Hakeem, Shaw.

I think at best, you could argue LeBron is in between Magic's tier and Kobe's tier right now. Me personally, I have him in sandwiched between Kobe and Hakeem. A win this year would catapult him as high as 4 for me, although I would take arguments for top 3 at that point.

>>76130328
Thank you for not putting Russell in your top 10. Dude is overrated as fuck. 44.0 FG% as a center? Fuck outta here. My boy Kobe has a better FG% as a 2 guard and his shot selection was questionable his whole career.

Phil Jackson is stuck completely in the past and wants his teams to run an outmoded offense while signing players who don't even fit his now shit scheme. So while Magic is likely completely incompetent, I don't think he will be as bad.

He's a manufactured super star to bring money to the league. He wasn't even in his rookie season yet and he was being paraded around as the new king of the NBA. For his entire career he has faced the weakest condition a conference has been in NBA history, making the Finals in ultra-stacked teams. His teams are so stacked the competition straight up gives them players to stack further (e.g Korver for free).

Personally I liked LeBron until last year's finals. He was getting ass beat so hard he literally changed the officiating of a game AFTER IT ENDED so his opponents lost a key player. Players like Wilt played so well that rules were changed to level them. LeBron was afraid so much of losing that the rules were changed to help him.

Maybe you're ignoring the fact Klay has been playing like hot trash these playoffs. In the big comeback in game 1 against the Spurs, he scored 6 fucking points. In game 2 he scored 11. In game 3 he scored 17, and to close the sweep he scored 10. That is a pathetic performance compared to what he has shown he can do in the regular season. It's not like it was due to the Spurs defense either, since Steph and KD got multiple 30+ games in the series.

>>76131619
And he still shot almost 60% from the field in the sries despite that game. Stay mad bitch.

So let's play this out. If Chris Paul takes the max, and everything stays the same, I think the 2017-18 season will be the Clipper's very last chance at making a run in the playoffs. If they fail to make it past the second round, Chris Paul will go the way of Melo and be forever barred from the trophy.

He was a top 5 player of all time. not the goat. If you want dominance bill russell, if you want over all skills, it's lebron (let's be honest lebrong can pretty play every position and dominate or survive. Jordan was a great scorer and later in his career great defender.
