Bronsexuals PLEASE explain to me how there are highschoolers with a better midrange game than Lebrick?

>>76405147
>head coach
Pretty much.
They also needed Lebron to not fuck up their money by overpaying Shump and JR. So there goes Lebron's era for rings. It was a good run.

>people still think melo is good

what exactly does he solve? Is he going to rebound better than love? Lock up KD? Play defense in general? Not be a blackhole? Can't wait til Phil trades his ass to NO for peanuts so that we can watch another trainwreck team

So, let's discuss what it would mean IF the Warriors blow a 3-0 lead.

Would that mean Lebron is the undisputed GOAT? I mean take 30 seconds to refresh and look at how insane that GSW roster is. And other things like the biggest L in the existence of L's.

HOW HE KING WITH NO RING?

LeBron needs a better supporting cast

>People think we're done
We've exposed their weaknesses today. They will be too lax in game 4 and we will tear them apart. No more team ball for LeGod, he's going to personally fuck them on his own.

>>76405182
there's no need to discuss it because it's not going to happen. lebeta knows with KD there he has no hope of winning and will play like shit

>>76405161

There aren't. James has a good midrange game, he simply has no confidence in it during his normal mindset.

When he's in King James mode and doesn't think about it, his shots naturally come out quick and he start hitting them consistently. When he dribbles around while thinking about whether he should take it or not is when he gets into trouble.

Honestly, they don't need more firepower as much as they need a stronger defensive presence.

Traditionally, the Warriors have struggled when the Cavs put the pressure on them and played bully ball. You aren't going to lock them down, but you can make them work for it and frustrate the hell out of them.

the problem with OKC was their team's overall shit efficiency. either they play more like the warriors and get assists, or get the westbrook-durant iso offense more efficient, and the others work on defense.

OKC lost too many games at the end, as they ran out of gas chucking up more shots than the other team, but missing more, then giving up on defense.

also westbrook is kind of a turn over machine

>>76405482
Don't talk about things you don't properly understand.

Also fuck off with the reddit spacing.

>>76405473

warriors turned up the defense, and klay / curry just got hot and or lucky and nailed crazy shots

durant and westbrook played just as well at the end there, just got little cold as the warriros suddenly got hot


even as a golden state cuck i would have liked to see OKC take out the cavs last year, esp to avoid the 3-1 meme on the warriors side now.

1995-96 Bulls
1996-97 Bulls

2014-15 Warriors
2015-16 Warriors
2016-17 Warriors.


The Cavs are playing against the greatest team in NBA history right now, as they did last year and the year before.

>>76405504
Wow, this is probably the first time I've seen someone say something like this on /nba/

All they do is shit fling blame like a dumb child with one dimensional views and beliefs.

Another thing people forget is before Klay "got hot" is that Andre Roberson was shutting him down all game but got sat in the 4th quarter due to having 5 fouls.

As soon as he sat, and I do mean "as soon", he was suddenly able to get free and take open shots because he was being guarded by Dion Waiters instead one of the best defenders in the league.

The only reason the Warriors won game 6 is because of Andre got in foul trouble with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter, from that point KD and Westbrook mentally collpased and stopped passing to ball to the rest of their teammates, they just passed to each other and took it upon themselves to try and save the day.

A lot of people seem to ignore in that time span KD was 1-7 with 3 TOs with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter that game. They also had a 14 point lead before Klay started shooting threes.

>>76405526

yeah, the warriors defense read alot of westbrooks passes, and doubled him knowing he didn't want to pass to the weak side when draymond was zone defending, thus forcing bad turn overs.

turned up that defense!

and KD hit plenty of those shots the whole series, he just got cold all of a sudden, he took shots he knew he hit before, just got unlucky. That and the warriors desperate defense probably bothered him a bit, and to be honest they got away with alot of uncalled fouls on durant and westbrook.

>>76405504
>durant and westbrook played just as well at the end there, just got little cold as the warriros suddenly got hot
They shot worse and stopped spreading the ball around. The Thunder didn't take 3 games because Durant and Westbrook scored 50 points each but because the team as a whole was balling. At their best, the Thunder has multiple players not named Westbrook or Durant score more than 10 points. By game 7, the list dropped to just Ibaka.

>>76405307
>>76405372
Both are true, but PG > JR.

If they can get PG while dumping JR then they have a real shot.

>>76405571
>he just got cold all of a sudden, he took shots he knew he hit before, just got unlucky

Is posting up on the three point line and staring down your opponent for half the shot clock then pulling up for a contest mid range shot "unlucky" and "a shot he was hitting all game"

You don't know shit. That was the worst shot selection I've ever seen.

Yeah the warriros also got away with a ton of fouls on KD and westbrook, and ALOT of illegal screens to get curry / klay open for 3 as they usually do.

definitely feel bad for the thunder, they drafted so well since KD, and nothing really to show for it. i wonder what it would be like if harden stayed, and westbrook played a bit more generous. i bet they would have the rings by now.

Why are all you faggots on here so obsessed with labelling people as millenials

>>76405608
They don't have a choice. PG is bailing. So they'll get JR or get nothing

PG's too old at 28-29 to hang with the kids in LAL unless he's ok with never winning a ring. Even if my some magic lonzo is great, deangelo isn't shit anymore, ingram turns into the new KD, and randle isn't constantly injured. Even if say they magically did fix all those issues they can't beat the spurs/warriors/cavs. And if they did PG would be too old to be the MVP.

>>76405572

James does have one, just doesn't even try to establish it at times. Look at how quick he releases the ball in his god tier games compared to the game where he struggles and it tells the whole story.

As much as the dude gets praised for his high basketball IQ, he's in his head a bit too much.

for the last few games there that was the warriors game plan. shut down their other players with borderline illegal defense. Then hope westbrook and durant decide to take over when they see the rest of their team struggling for the first 3 quarters.


>>76405588
yes, yes, yes and yes

durant obviously should have tried to move the ball, hindsight etc, but all the shots he took were over players he was much taller than, and not named draymond.

shot selection is only bad if you miss, he has been hitting shots like that his whole career because he is so tall and his team mates can't get open.

Absolutely not trying to defend LeBron here since he clearly started the trend and without his decision KD probably wouldn't have had the guts to make the move because there was no precedent, but how can you say what KD did was not 10 times more egregious?

Get your fidget spinners ready *spins fidget* its going to be one ell of a ride.

>>76405388
It'll only get worse, now that the players see the complete success of the Warriors no player will EVER be loyal to their team and it will just be a team hopping circus and eventually players will run the front office. lebron knew what he was doing when he came back to the cavs.

if he really wanted to win 100% he'd take paycuts and tell everyone else to do so. he just wants to jew owners at this point.

westbrook really was holding durant back, all this super team whining shit aside, durant has been amazing, put him on a team with actual ball movement and unselfish players and this is what you get, its why everyone is shocked by durant suddenly, after ignoring him for almost 3 years and assuming the cavs would win anyway despite the super team shit.

this is a huge indictment on westbrook, he is a stats > ring guy and durant is going to be the one with a legacy while westbrook is a guy that averaged a triple double and will go down as one of the best to never win a ring

everyone is so obsessed with alpha bullshit in a team sport, there is literally nothing wrong with KD being quiet and wanting to be a part of a good team.

Westbrook may do what he wants, but its that bullshit that lead to KD leaving, its come out that KD went to the front office too about it, so he wasn't entirely quiet over it. Which is a shame, cause I think KD probably loved westbrook off the court, but they couldn't exist on the court because westbrook would put his stats before wins

>>76405931

That's because the life of the average spectator is so dull and insignificant that they project their desires onto sports stars. They know they will never be anything other than LCD, slack-jawed, plebs. So when they see a player like Durant check his ego, and become a team player they get all asspained, because that is what is expected of them at their shit tier wage-slave job, and they get sad one of their betters does it willingly for the sake of the whole. So they call him a sellout because he isn't being the rebel they wish they could be, but are too chickenshit to do.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/CLE.html
Lebron's locked in his contract another year and then he has a player option. Casv already have ~130M in payroll next year and the expected salary cap is like 102M. Basically, even if they somehow dumped Smith and Thompson they'd still only have like one or two million in cap space. Plus PG isn't a free agent so they'd have to trade for him and there's no reason why the Pacers would accept Kevin Love for him.

Basically the Cavs are fucked because they overpaid a bunch of mediocre role players

I guarantee this Cavs team will hold the record for most points scored by a team swept. Think about that. They score enough to win, and would beat any normal team. (Sure, you could say defense, but then the scoring becomes a problem against GS. The only thing the Cavs could have done was add KD to their team instead of GS.)

Just want to resay this.

LeBron is literally Shaq in SF/PF form. He can't shoot shit from 5 feet beyond the rim, but is a fantastic finisher because he overpowers the other players. Shaq was better because he at least knew he could not shoot worth a shit. LeBron is still delusional about this. As soon as you see him start chucking up jump shots and 3s, you know they lost.

>>76406548

No shit, moron, scoring wins you games, but defense and rebounding wins you championships, it's been the credo of every successful NBA team since the 50s, but of course never hear about it on ESPN and Undisputed. For example, Dennis Rodman was better at rebounding than Jordan at scoring.

I think Kyrie himself low-key hates Bron for disrespecting his idol Kobe and has embraced the face that he's been the Cavs' closer for the majority of this Lebron-Kyrie-Love tenure.

The fact that it's always "Lebron needs more help!" when they lose and "Lebron is the greatest in spite of not getting any help!" when they win, from Cleveland/Miami fanfags and the media, he's completely content with the prospect of Lebron getting fed up and fucking off to create another team, even if it means the Cavs will turn back into shit, since he's directly responsible for getting Cleveland its current 'chip.

can someone give me a quick rundown on game 3? im looking for a replay

this is what lebron needs to win

a defensive center that can grab boards and get easy rolling dunks

a shooter/passer. someone that he can pass out to

a shooter/rebounder. someone bigger than can also shoot at distance

a bunch of backup guards who can play the regular season and disappear in the playoffs

all lebron needs to do is get enough wins to enter the playoffs. just play point guard every minute of every game and have your shooters/bigs set screen and catches passes

so what the cavs need is a defensive center. honestly. i'd trade kyrie and grab some decent big to play defense and lighten the big man role for lebron

>>76407385

>>76407441

>>76407385
>When LeBron retires you'll see kyrie is not that good.

Kyrie legit doesn't give a shit about his own legacy, because he already got himself a ring at 24 years old. He hit the game winner over a 73-9 Golden State Warriors, who apparently will go on to go 16-0 in the finals this year.

Just like Kevin Love gives zero shits about what anyone thinks of him, because he guarded Stephen Curry the whole way during the 2016 series and earned his ring.

While I don't dispute that Lebron carries Cleveland on his back, while he travels into and-1 after and-1, it's bullshit to try to claim that they guys around him didn't contribute when the chips were down.

The problem is, in 2017, Lebron not only didn't think about the prospect of KD being this good during the series, so much that Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, TT, JR Smith, C. Frye, Shrumpet, Jefferson and the rest those guys from 2016 are completely content with already winning a championship for Cleveland, Ohio and repeating was the furthest thing from their minds, especially with all the shit it took for them to bring the series to seven games last year, on top of all the flack GS has been getting.

Even Lebron himself has come to terms, even before this series started, that there really isn't much the Cavs can do to beat GS, that they didn't try in the first 3 games; which having the fucking refs on their side didn't save them from pissing away this series.

>>76407500

>>76407582

>>76407511
>If he is trying to be like Kobe he should care

It's exactly because Kyrie wants to be so much like Kobe, he doesn't give a shit unless he's the center of attention. That's why they lost tonight, with him literally throwing the game away to do that step-back three, after dribbling the clock away, while being defended by Klay, when he could have just passed the fucking ball or went for a layup.

It's the kind of selfish shit that Kobe would do, which Kyrie emulates. He wants to that guy who carries the load, but doesn't want to work for.

It won't be until Lebron has left the Cavs and Kyrie playing No. 2 on someone else's team he'll realize all the grand opportunities he threw away during his rung with Cleveland.

>And? No matter what happens they'll never live down blowing a 3-1 lead in the Finals after winning 73 games.

Blowing a 3-1 lead is nothing compared to getting swept 0-4 as the defending world champions, after going 10-1 in the playoffs.

The fact that GS can go 16-0, in the postseason, a year after that 73-9 makes their 3-1 bed-shitting from last year look like a joke. That they're doing it in a revenge match against the Cavs will make this sweep that much sweeter.

literally going undefeated in the playoffs would be a pretty good response

>>76407366
dont think he was acting this time. that looked like a hard hit to the face. if this were a regular season game hed probably have left the game, but because cleveland's collective ass was on the line, he kept playing anyway.
sometime he flops and it's pathetic, but this actually looked serious at the time.

Since we know who won, who gets FMVP?
A lot of people say Durant, but Curry literally has a near 30 point triple double 2 steals, 100%FT
He has a 43/46/100
Its insane. Hes so efficient.

that shot to win g3 seals it

>>76407817
KD will get it, Curry should get it tho

>>76407817
He literally no-showed in the 1st half of G1 & G2, when Golden State built their lead off of Durant's stellar play. He was 2-7 over the final 18 minutes tonight and one of his makes was an uncontested layup off a fluke rebound.

Alright faggots, anyone have any arguments why LeBron>Durant still? I want to go ahead and address them. Time to put that notion to bed as Durant is now the best in the world. Come at me.

There it is: That Cavfag preemptive damage control I've been seeing all season. Coming back while down 3-1 is laughable compared to getting swept 0-4 in the finals.

The fact that Cleveland are the defending champions and Golden State is literally about to sweep them and topping off a 16-0 run through the playoffs is both historic and embarrassing as fuck, especially since it's going to end with GS celebrating another championship in Cleveland, within the span of 3 seasons.

>>76407853
>Curry Durant Co-MVPs would be nice

This, but Silver is going to give it to Durant, just to validate his talk about not needing parity, since it also plants the seed of distention in GS for next year, so the media will have another year to spin Curry's, Klay's, Dray's and Iggy's contributions into adding to KD's team.

I want it to be Co-MVP, to drive home how unstoppable a duo Curry and Durant are together, especially since GS has been completely ignoring the bullshit media talking them up as the 'greatest ever'.

In general, this GS team isn't doing the usual bullshit they do where they get complacent.

Lebron is still the better player but its obvious that Durant wants it more.

Why is LeBron the better player?

Durant is the better scorer, equal rebounder, better defender, and a great passer in his own right. Additionally, he is the most portable player in history. Can literally play positions 1-5 in today's NBA. Can shoot, distribute, play on the ball, off the ball, midrange, drive, transition, post up, perimter D, protect the rim.

LeBron's ability to create doesn't trump that when Durant is a great passer relative to his position. And Durant's demand for attention off the ball limits their gap as playmakers as well, it opens up the floor for teammates. LeBron turns his teammates into spotup shooters because LeBron ball is LeBron centric.

why does /nba/ favor refball for lebron over real jump shooting basketball?
lay off the blacked porn for a few days
geez

how funny would it be if dan gilbert just went out traded lebron for a cpl of 1st round picks?

>>76408032
Firstly, Durant's stats are better in this series. 5 more ppg on higher efficiency, far fewer turnvoers. Secondly, if stats on'y matter, then brodie & harden are the 2 best players in the league, right m8?
