NBA Playoffs Thread

Mike Bibby would be perfect for this team. He would a lot of pressure off of LeBron.

 

LeBron turned his ankle and is in a lot of pain. Bye bye, Cavaliers.

 

And he's back. Wow, it looked like he really messed it up on that play.

 

Ohh, bad stuff for Cavs

 

Bibby would be great. Good call

 

LeBron misses his free throw and yells "Oh you asshole"

 

Actually, you're the only one on here I've seen who has said such things. Every superstar needs help. Name one who didn't.
And, if I had $1 for every missed layup Kwame Brown, Lamar Odom and Luke Walton missed, I'd be a millionaire.

 

Rick Barry and Bill Walton.

 

I said name one. You named two, so you're disqualified.
My response to that would be different era, different game.

 

The greatest player of all time couldn't do it by himself.

You could say the same for Magic, Bird,Olajuwon, Shaq, Abdul Jabbar, Chamberlain.........

EDIT: Look at the players of today. Nash, Dirk, Duncan. They needed help.

 

To be fair, Maurice Lucas led Walton's 1977 Portland title team in scoring. And Walton from there never won anything else until he became a helper with the Celtics.

AS for Rick Barry, he absolutely dominated on the 1975 Golden State team. Jamaal Wilkes was a good, solid NBA player, but Barry was that team. That was indeed a much different era, when no one was watching and the NBA was dying. But you;ve got to give it up for Mr. Barry.

Even though it's not likely to last, I always find it funny that whenever the Lakers (or, more specifically, Bryant) is playing well, Rok always has something else going on. But the second Phoenix goes on a run, he'll be here ... mark my words.

As far as the game goes, I was really happy Jackson continued with Farmar as the starting PG. His energy on the defensive end is excellent. No, I'm not claiming he's going to shut down Nash. But if he can disrupt the offense enough on 8-10 possessions in a game, he's doing his job.
