    Not the most exciting finals ever but it is a pleasure to watch Lebron, Davis and Rondo at work

    Yeah I walked out of the fourth quarter of that noncompetitive first game and didn’t even bother to watch the 2nd game. I predict a Lakers sweep, especially since Miami lost 2 of their major players.

    make no mistake. adebayo is the heats most indispensible player. davis isnt putting up bill walton type FG% numbers if he had played

    Which Means WHAT Exactly???:Jest:...

    1 Shoulder Bump from Dwight Howard Took Bam's Undersized Ass OUT, He May or May NOT Play Tonight and AD IS Putting Up Bill Walton Type of FG% #'s...

    How 'Bout Addressing the Clipper Chokejob, FINALLY, Instead of Attempting to DIMINISH the Performance of AD or the Lakers at Large???...

    You CLEARLY KNOW the Game Neil, But You're Weird and SELECTIVE AF in Your Criticisms, Particularly w/LA Teams/Players...

    Haven't Read the Article, but Faaaaaaaaaaaar Tooooooooooooo Often, Basketball Fans Equate "Clutch" w/Taking the Last SHOT, When the Emphasis Should Be On Making the Last PLAY...Not Even the LAST Play Per Se, Being Honest, But a CRUCIAL, Late Minutes Play in a CLOSE Ass Game...

    Bron's Chase Down Block of Iguodala in Game 7 of the Cleveland vs. GS Finals is THE Most "Clutch" Defensive Play REED's Ever Seen...GS Takes the LEAD and (Much) More than Likely Wins the Finals if Not for THAT Block...

    Instead, the City of Cleveland Garnered their 1st Championship in ANY Sport, in Like 56 Fucking Years....

    If THAT Ain't Clutch, REED Doesn't Know What Is...

    Meaning the heat actually had a chance to win that game if adebayo had played. Davis would not have shot 15-20 from the field. Not sure what is complicated about that to comprehend

    You Don't KNOW That Though...

    Bam Got Hurt Soooooooooooo EARLY In the Fucking Game it's Literally IMPOSSIBLE to State That w/Any Degree of Certainty...Yet You Did Anyways...

    That's What's Complicated to Comprehend Bruh...

    Bam's a GOOD, YOUNG, UP and COMING Player, But You're Acting Like he's Olajuwon, KG or Something...Even Though he's SMALLER Than Both of Them...

    Uuuuuh, Game 1, When 1 Fucking Dwight Howard Shoulder Bump Took Bam COMPLETELY OUT Having Only Played 21 of a Possible 48 Minutes???...

    You KNOW What the Fuck REED was Talking About Bruh:rolleyes:...This Is Why REED Hates Debating Your LAME Ass, Because In a SPORTS Way You're Every Bit as DISINfuckingGENUOUS as Anthony Is...

    You Nut Hugged the Clippers, They Fucking CHOKED, You Still REFUSE to Address It (AT ALL) and Because You Also DISLIKE the Lakers You're Attempting to DIMINISH the Championship They're On their Way to Winning...

    You're Full of Shit Neil...

    I agree with you that it’s ridiculous to state Bam shutting down AD as a fact. At the same time Bam visibly hurt his shoulder in the Celtics series and I think the collision with Howard just reaggravated it badly.

    I was rooting for Miami to win the series but now I’m rooting for the Lakers to just go ahead get the sweep so we can move on with our lives. I’m not even going to watch these last few games.

    Who said anything about shutting davis down? I said adebayo matches up with him better than most guys in the league

    So when he got injured against Boston we could only hope he recovered to make the series competitive.

    This is a superb point.

    And even if we limit it 'clutch' to scoring a decisive basket in the last 10 seconds of a postseason game, the article shows how Lebron has both done it more often and with a higher percentage than MJ did

    The only mistake in your two separate posts about Bam’s defense on Davis was the exclusion of the word probably.

    MJ Lovers and the FACT They Selectively ALTER Criteria to His Benefit, is the Problem...

    "MJ Has MORE Rings than Bron"...MJ Himself, When Asked Who was BETTER; Kobe or Bron Answered "Well, 5 is MORE than 3, Right?"...Well, 11 is MORE than 6 Right???...Soooo By MJ's OWN Kobe-Bron Criteria, Bill Russell is BETTER than MJ, Right???...

    w/Bron On His Way to 4, MJ Lovers Will STILL Harp on 6 Though...And the Bubble...And the Clippers CHOKING (Even Though the Lakers SHIT KICKED the Same Team the Clippers CHOKED Against)...And Miami's Injuries...And Even if Bron Won This Year and the Next 3 Years, Amassing 7 Rings, MJ Lovers Would Say "Well, MJ NEVER Lost in the Finals, Bron Did"...

    Rest Assured, if Bron ISN'T Named MVP of this Year's Finals, MJ Lovers Will Be the 1st to Speak Up..."MJ Had 6 Rings, 6 Finals MVPS"...Even Though Those SAME MJ Lovers DON'T Hold it Against Kobe that HE Has 5 Rings and Just 2 Finals MVP's...

    Why???...Because Kobe Openly Patterned his Game After MJ...

    I said before the series adebayo matches up with Davis. Better than pretty much anyone in the league currently. If you disagree name some other defenders better equipped to slow davis down?

    The guy shot 15 out of 20 in game 2

    Reed likes to argue when there is nothing to discuss

    Re-Read Post # 486 Neil, & Shut the Fuck Up...What You Said was MUCH Closer to What Lb for Lb Stated in Response to REED Than YOU Will Ever Admit...

    Why???...Because You NEVER EVER Speak Up On Sports Shit When You're WRONG....You REALLY Gonna Sit Here and Say AD's NEVER Shot 75% in a Fucking Game Before???...Of Course He Has, or Something Dangerously CLOSE to That, for Certain...

    By Your OWN Admission, You've NEVER Been a Laker Fan & from the Moment Kawhi/PG Being Clippers Grew Legs, You were ALL OVER It...But Again, Instead of Saying ANYTHING About their EPIC ASS CHOKEJOB, Even Now, You Conveniently IGNORE That Shit Altogether and Set Sights on DIMINISHING the Laker's Inevitable Championship, Instead...

    You're THE WORST Type of Sports Fan to Debate w/Because There's NEVER the Slightest Bit of ADMISSION or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from Your Side, Even When Your Own Sports Thought BlowsthefuckUp in Your Face...

    On Some REAL ASS Sports Talk Shit, that's SORRY AF and You KNOW It...But Whatever...Do YOU Bruh...

    phonetap stopped wasting his time arguing with jordan fans long ago. they will forever harp on the 6 rings even though when it’s all said and done, lebron will surpass jordan in just about every statistic (except scoring average) imaginable.

    Im still waiting to hear the defenders in the nba more equipped to check davis than him? Antetokounmpo is the only guy in the game you'd rather have.

    adebayo was second team all defense and has the mobility to defend davis out on the perimeter in space as well as near the rim. at one point in game 2, davis was 12-13. scoring several easy buckets in the paint against midgets he was half a foot taller than. enjoy the rest of the series:zzzzz ive seen enough.

    I’m not a fan of the rings argument either. When it comes to the playoffs and finals I think individual performances say a lot more than rings and to a certain extent says even more than wins because it leaves out other factors such as weak team/teammates, injuries or suspect officiating.

    I think LBJ’s statistical edge over Jordan is a bit inflated based on a much longer career in the league. I wouldn’t even harp too much on MJ’s higher scoring average based on Mike being more of an aggressive scorer than Bron. The question one has to ask is this: If they were both somehow cloned to the exact player they were the day they entered the league but you knew what their prime futures will look like which guy would you pick to lead your franchise? Both guys have pros and cons though MJ’s seem harder to think of. Do you take Bron’s superb all around game and game management skills or MJ’s unstoppable scoring and top line defense?

    Today’s rules have made it very difficult to consistently stop top scorers who top out at 6 feet or less, that task becomes near impossible when it’s 7 foot jump shooters. It was no different with Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Durant.
