Warriors are cannonfodder for Lob City. What an undisciplined, poorly coached team. Nice game winning travel by Faried though.
They ARE a Mess, but the IMPROBABILITY of the Cavs Outlook Would Make it That Much SWEETER if Bron Resurrected Them...They've Been SHIT Since the Day he Left... Let's Not Forget, Bron WANTS to Be LIKED...He's a "People Person" & he was VERY Hurt by the Backlash he Received, for Leaving...REED Thinks a Part of Bron would Be INTRIGUED by Being Welcomed Back Home w/Open Arms & Returning the Cavs to the Playoffs... But it's ALL Contingent on Kyrie Irving STAYING In Cleveland...If Irving Bolts, then agREED, Bron Doesn't Give the Cavs the SLIGHTEST Bit of Consideration... REED:hammert:
You may be right but Bron could stay in Miami and wait a couple of years until Riley makes his moves. Remember Kobe and Wade had to wait a couple of years between championships. The actual Heat roster may be nearing their expiring date, but that doesn't mean Bron should bolt. Unless he's obsessed with winning a title every damn season for the rest of his career, it's better to stay than to start from zero elsewhere.
Once again, from that page, which you totally ignored: Players can avoid a carrying violation by keeping their palms facing the floor while dribbling. Do players do that now? No. Refs won't call it (or very rarely). Did they not do it in the 60s? Yes. Why? Because refs called it. Is that officially documented anywhere? No, but if you watch a series of games from the 1960s or 70s - which you've clearly never done - it will quickly become apparent. You could also google it and find a million other people attesting to the same thing. Did they all imagine it? Why is no one who was around in the 1960s refuting this? Derp. It's a massive conspiracy theory. Do all the gymnastics you want to avoid this, just be aware you look stupid doing it to anyone who actually knows shit about the NBA before 1980. Elbow wraps != straps. "Straps" are what are used for pulling, ie on a deadlift. People don't use those when benching. You're trying to change what you said now to avoid looking stupid, but it's patently clear you've never done any lifting in your life and have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. You're either a fat person or a skinny person, you are not someone who has spent any time in a weight room. I cited to you a credible eyewitness to Wilt benching 465 lb but to you that's not valid, because it doesn't suit your argument. You're a fucking dunce.
"Credible eyewitness" :atu: You are a waste of time. By the way, what was that move done in the first minute in the Big O video posted? Was that a carry? Don't answer again, I'm sure you'll make up more bogus and cite Google and continue your life thinking you are an intelligent person. :laughing:
Work and kids have drained my life. I've always been checking in on thread discussions here and there though.
So basically you have no actual rebuttal and are just talking out of your ass now to avoid conceding what has been apparent to everyone all along, which is that you are stupid and wrong. Cool.
Talking out my ass. I posted 4 videos, you said "google it" :atu: There is no point to rebuttal you utter tool. You cited some bogus anecdotal evidence from some celebrity as credible. Guess what Bill O'Reilly says Jesus makes the tides come in and out, that makes it true huh? Nice to see you've dodged the only "proof" actually posted in this thread three times now as well and still refuse to acknowledge both the Cousy and the Oscar Robertson videos to further your laughable point.
I WAS. But he proved himself to be incompetent in a debate by refusing to cite any of his bogus claims with anything more than anecdotal evidence or his own useless word so now I'm simply laughing at him and posting shorthand. I'm normally respectful in debate but refuse to allow a moron to believe he has shown me up in anything other than his microscopic, delusional mind.
As expected, Miami raping Indiana. Game at home, check. Pacers on a slump, check. Miami coming off two loses, check. Homecourt on the line, check.

Good Idea... Usually, Conference Dominance is CYCLICAL, but the West has Been Soooooooooooooooooooo Much BETTER (Overall) for Sooooooooooooo Looooooooooooooooong, it's Time to "Make that Change", like Michael Jackson... REED:hammert:<iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="display: none;"></iframe>
agREED. East conference is a joke. Phoenix would be a 3rd seed in the east. The top 16 format could give us some new rivalries and guarantee competitive matchups. If the playoffs started today, this is how it would look.
If the NBA decided to take it a step further, they would eliminate conferences altogether except for the all star game. That way teams could be scheduled to play the same amount of games vs. every single team in the league.
w/TRAVEL, TIME ZONES, JET LAG, etc. it's Hard Envisioning a League w/NO Conferences... Unless the Schedule is TRIMMED to Where Every Team Plays Each Other TWICE Only, it'd Never Work...You'd Wind Up w/Toooo MANY Games, like TLC Said, or Toooooo FEW... Speaking of Travel, the League will Likely Implement the 2-3-2 Playoff Format FULL TIME, If/When the Best 16 Teams are Entered Into the Playoffs...A Hypothetical Playoff Series Btwn the Portland Trailblazers & the New York Knicks Would Be a Logistical NIGHTMARE in a 2-2-1-1-1 Format... REED:elmo:
I didn't even watch the videos in question, no idea what you're talking about. If you don't tell me why I need to watch a video specifically, I'm not going to watch it. Seems like you've deleted several posts in this thread to bolster the claim you're "respectful in debate" (they're quoted, so it doesn't matter), perhaps they were in those posts. If the video shows something as silly as Cousy dribbling and not getting called for a carry with his palm on the side of the ball, and you think that proves something, the only thing it proves is your own stupidity. "Hey, here's a video of player A grabbing player B's arm and the ref doesn't call it, that means grabbing someone's arm is allowed on the NBA!" If you dismiss a combination of sound reasoning & eyewitness testimony "anecdotal evidence," when in reference to A SINGLE SPECIFIC INCIDENT, that is testament to your own stupidity. Anecdotal evidence is not weak because it is not accurate, it is weak because it references a small sampling size. Dismissing an eyewitness account as "anecdotal evidence" makes you sound like a 5 year old using terms he just learned out of context to sound smart. Sort of like when you said people "bench press with straps." ::
Arnold talking about how Wilt was stronger than all the biggest dudes in the gym when they worked out together: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/t...-chamberlain-and-andre-the-giant-have-dinner/ but it's just anecdotal evidence, Arnold is clearly lying as part of a conspiracy.
Girlfriend for the past 3 years has a 5 year old son and we have a 1 year old together. I love them all, but I kinda wish this was 2002 again .
Thanks bro I got some business I have to attend too in cali over the summer we should meet up if your down.
at this point, miami's gonna beat indiana with or without homecourt advantage. doesn't matter who the number 1 seed is. wouldnt surprise me if indiana somehow loses to chicago before they face miami.
