2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

Because we collectively decided in 2003 that LeBron had to be better than everyone at everything or be a disappointment forevermore.

 

I can't count the number of times in playoff games he has stayed in the backcourt complaining as the opposing team runs a fast break on the other end. Exceedingly frustrating.

 

Is that all LeBron said or is there more?

If that's all he said the handwringing is ridiculous.

 

Draymond is not (yet?) someone who's an all-time great. Whatever his performance level, he's not a great in my mind, LBJ is supposedly up there with MJ, Kobe, Wilt, Magic, Larry; never heard them saying this stuff.

 

LOL. All right then.

 

Really? Then could you please detail again for us why this one has so much more "complexity"?



Oh wait, I forgot, you already did. You gave us the preposterous claim that he was just trying to "finish his natural shooting motion." That complexity being one that existed nowhere but in your biased head.

And, btw, the Dellavedova swipe was next to nothing. Looked to me like he was trying to knock the ball loose as it came up off the dribble. And with the ensuing fuss being largely due to Iguadala's overreaction. For you to act like that was worse than Dray's shots based on some sort of "less complexity" rationalization is just ludicrous, and more proof that you've become the most laughably irrational fanboy on this board.

 

It's also worth noting that in April 2015, the Warriors' Shaun Livingston was suspended for a full-on grab of Nowitzki's junk while playing post defense. Similar to now, the Warriors explained that it was an accident.

They deserve absolutely no leeway on this. Their explanations are garbage.

 

Are you seriously trying to claim that those guys, in particular Jordan and Bryant, never complained about unfair treatment or tried to influence referees or the league outside of game settings?

It could be said that the modern culture of complaining, of which LeBron is a part, STARTED with Jordan.

 

In a game where a HOFer regularly probed opponent's backsides with his thumb while defending the post, the dick punched hardly feels sacred. Green was a dick and a pain on the court, he built all this up and got what was coming, and GSW being where it is made it a good deal easier for the league to pull off.

Independent of that, I hope GSW wins anyway.

 

Who did what, now?

 

Rodman. Always Rodman.

 

Jordan never complained at all about the Pistons
