::::NBA:::: 2016-2017-2018 Season

From Start to Finish, REED Doesn't Recall a SINGLE Playoff Run as Impressive as What Bron's Done This Year...And REED Dates Back to the Bird-Magic Days...

Many (Jordan in Particular) SCORED Prolifically, But They Didn't Score as EFFICIENTLY As Bron Has, Producing the All Around Numbers (Rebounds, Assists) Simultaneously.

Dude is AVERAGING 35pts, 9 Rebounds and Nearly 9 Assists in the 2018 Playoffs...That's Soooooooooooo Patently ABSURD, it Literally Makes REED Laugh...

JR Smith's basketball intelligence is about as useful as Drake's parenting skills.

 

Durant wasn't THAT bad, though I don't expect him to be Lebron every night, like most seem to. He struggled with his shooting but still had 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and only 1 turnover while drawing his share of fouls. Not superman stuff, but respectable.

What Durant is guilty of is letting J.R. Smith outmuscle him on that rebound, but that get's forgotten along with the fact that 80% free throw shooting George Hill missed that free throw to begin with. Always thought George Hill was a nice dependable guard, but like a poor man's Kyle Lowry, he tends to disappear in the spotlight.

Charge call could have gone either way I think. Tough call. I thought George Hill got fucked on his call, but the Lebron call was a foul. Maybe not on Lebron, but like three guys raked Durant coming in, with one guys hand draped around his neck.

LOL at Draymond. He's such a fucking instigator. Modern day Bill Laimbeer. He needs to be careful otherwise he might miss a game if this series goes long.

 

James has been great and is perhaps playing as well as he ever has

I wonder how jordan would do with the current rules as far as how perimeter players are allowed to defend, small ball with no shot blockers in the paint, etc

 

There's no comparison between C-Webb's fuck up and JR's fuck up.

For one, there's a HUGE difference between not knowing that your team has no time outs left... and not knowing the goddamn score of the game!! The later is inexcusable.

Secondly, Webber was a kid in college. JR is a 15 year NBA vet with plenty of finals experience.

JR's fuck up was far, far worse than Webber's... and you know that.

 

Seriously?

Basketball is a sport that only got popular in the early-80s and is just for poor, tall blackies: bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-JUMP.

Ad Infinitum....


Only poor, black / extreme white Libetal Americans like it.

 

Not a bad game from Curry in game 2.

Lebron didn't even play that well (for his level) yet almost single-handidly kept Cavs in the game for three quarters, despite GWS was always a step or three ahead

 

Good point about the Dennis Hopson pick. I'd forgotten about that.

Kyrie pushed for the trade when he got wind the Cavs were looking to trade him. Don't think for a second that a trade of that magnitude wouldn't require the stamp of approval from LeBron.


Cavs reportedly tried to trade Kyrie Irving before he asked out of Cleveland

 

Per Bron's Most Recent Interview with ESPN Correspondent, Rachel Nichols, he Went to Dan Gilbert to NIX the Kyrie Trade, but Gilbert Proceeded Anyways...

Bron Also Wanted Gilbert to Keep the GM Around Who was Subsequently FIRED...

Gilbert's @ the CORE, and Will Likely Be Chief Among the Reason's Bron Takes His Talents to Wherever Else, This Offseason...







REED

 

Gilbert SOURED His Relationship With Bron By PUBLICLY Trashing Him, When Bron Took His Talents to Souf’ Beach.

Gilbert Bought Ad Space in the Cleveland Newspaper Labeling Bron a “Coward” Among Other Things and VOWED Cleveland Would Win a Championship BEFORE Bron Ever Did In Miami.

Soooooo Much For THAT...

Prior to Returning to Cleveland, Bron Made It Clear to Gilbert he’d NEVER Forgive Him and was Coming Back Home in SPITE Of Him. Gilbert was Instructed NOT to Speak To or Address Bron Unless Spoken To and/or Addressed 1st.

Bron Had Gilbert by the Balls, Basically, Which Led to Tristan Thompson and JR Getting Paid.

Looks Like Gilbert’s Ready to Resume CONTROL Of his Franchise, In Lieu of WINNING, it Seems.

REED Expects Cleveland Proper to Grant Bron their BLESSING to Pursue Greener Pastures, This Go Around.

Back to the lottery for cleveland

 

Here's the Infamous Letter Gilbert Posted in the Cleveland Newspaper...

Letter from Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert







REED

 

Gilbert is a fagget

It's a shame that james came back aND made that bitch a boatload of cash

 

He should probably go to somebody like the Sixers. A younger team with talent he can mentor. Stop dragging along all his older decrepit team-mates and buddies wherever he goes, and stop playing 45+ minutes a game.

Go somewhere that already has the horses and bench where he can take a break every once in awhile, and make the minutes he plays more strategic.

 

Philly isn't a bad idea. New orleans is another place that would be great from a strictly basketball perspective if they could fit him under the cap

 

REED Thinks Bron in Philly Could STUNT Ben Simmons' Growth...

Personally, REED Would Like to See Bron in Houston...That Way, his Haters Can Finally Shut the Fuck Up About Him "Preferring" a "Weaker" Conference...

And if Houston Managed to BEAT Golden State in the 2019 Western Conference Finals, Bron's NBA Finals Streak Would Still Be Intact...

A Finals Streak Spanning 3 Different Teams and Both Conferences Would Be EPIC and Likely NEVER Duplicated...




REED

 

New Orleans Would Be Nice, ASSuming Boogie Re-Signs...






REED

 

hell no. totally disagree. cousins is a born loser and they're much better off without him. james, davis and holiday is a very formidable trio offensively and especially defensively.

i think if james went to philly it would work best with him playing more off the ball and letting simmons facilitate. if james continues shooting as he has been this post season then he would flourish as a scorer getting plenty of wide open shots playing alongside simmons and embiid

 

REED Doesn’t Trust AD’s Health...He’s a BEAST and a Half, But You KNOW He’s Going to Miss Games EVERY Year.

Boogie Could Be Insurance That Keeps Things Aloat When AD Inevitably Gets Hurt.

REED Thinks Boogie Gets a Bad Rap...He Was a Dick in Sacramento for Sure, But On a Team w/Guys He Can’t Push Around or Intimidate, Boogie’s Fine...

AD and Rondo Kept Him Engaged and Undoubtedly Bron Could Do Likewise.









REED

 

the pelicans started doing better when cousins got hurt. if they were able to scrape together cap space for james it would certainly come by letting cousins walk. guy has always been a loser, since college. obviously the health issues davis and holiday have had would be a key factor james must consider.

but all things being equal and those two are healthy that is a serious, serious nucleus.

go ahead and google cousins post season stats. it comes up with as many results as when you google polish geniuses.

 

Kyrie didn't believe that version of events then and doesn't believe it now. Sounds and reads like a story floated to absolve Bron since he's confrontation adverse and highly conscious of public perception of him.

I do believe Bron wanted the old GM to stay and I agree that's the reason he will leave. Not because Kyrie was dealt.

 

Houston is the best option but truth be told you have to wonder how James Harden would feel about that. Houston was good enough to beat the Warriors this year. For what Houston would have to get rid of, I don't believe it would be worth it.

Secondly, this is my prediction if Bron were to go to Houston or the West.

Shortly before or shortly after he announces he's going West, Adam Silver announces the playoffs will be seed based not East vs West.

The fact the All-Star game is now "pick your team" the East vs West idea is now moot.

 

Kyrie's a WEIRD, Flat-Earther Motherfucker...Naturally PARANOID...It was Kyrie that STOPPED Talking to ALL of his Teammates in the Midst of Last Years Finals, Not LeBron...

Kyrie was THE Reason Bron Went Back to Cleveland, Make No Mistake...He was the PERFECT Guy to Usher Bron Into the Ol' Man Phase of his Career...You're Insinuating Bron Wanted Kyrie OUT, Yet There's ZERO Evidence of That...

Kyrie's Nearly a DECADE Younger Than Bron...If Anything, he was Probably TIRED of Being Pippen to Bron's Jordan, Which is Perfectly Understandable...







REED

 

No Doubt, Harden Would Have to Co-Sign 1st, Which Isn't a Given...

The East Playoffs were Actually MORE Competitive Than the West Playoffs This Year...GS-Houston was a Foregone Conclusion, Whereas Cleveland's in the Finals as a 4th Seed, Having Gone 7 Games 2wice...Best Record Seeding, Regardless of Conference, Has Worked for the WNBA and David Silver Could Very Well Follow Suit...

REED's Just Saying the East is on the Come-Up...

Kyrie wasn't happy about LeBron going back to the Cavs from day one.

Lest we not forget, when Kyrie was selected by the Cavs Lebron and team tried to sign him up and Kyrie told them to go fuck themselves basically. He wanted to be his own man.

Second, the Cavs selected Wiggins #1 overall, signed Kyrie to his extension THEN announced LeBron was going back to Cleveland. The LeBron piece didn't come up during Kyrie's contract negotiation. So he was feeling special about that to begin with.

Let's look at what happened after that...

Kyrie sees Wiggins go to Minnesota because LeBron wanted Kevin Love...he sees James Jones, Mike Miller...Heat holdovers come on board. Then the extensions for Thompson and JR Smith (as mentioned before both represented by LeBron's company)...

Kyrie looked at it like his extension was more about making sure LeBron went back rather than making him the focal point for the future...which proved to be true.

So yeah...once there was a hint that the Cavs thought about trading him at the end of 2017 he was done. It says a hell of a lot when you make a decision to lose out on $50 million to NOT play with a guy. With that kind of money on the line and you only had to play one additional year yet you still choose to leave...there's a lot beneath the surface.

You're abolsutely right that Kyrie is a different kind of cat, I think cut somewhat from the same cloth as Kobe when Kobe wanted Shaq out of L.A. Kyrie knew there was no way Bron was leaving so he bounced.

Back to a point I made earlier...LeBron got all the players when he wanted so the "he doesn't have help" argument is null and void. The main reason he left Miami was due to Pat Riley refusing to allow him to have the input he wanted. Remember the story about LeBron being pissed off because the Heat wouldn't give his family and boys access and as many tickets as he wanted?

That's why he went back to Cleveland and the above is why Kyrie was done and wanted out.
