You didnt saw the effort made by Lebron in that final minutes.

No, I didn't...remember him only bricking that 3 in the end. That's common for choke artists though.

I understand it's tough for LeBron fanboys being outside the playoffs for the first time. Chill and change your tampons.

Bonus:

Why does LeBron only eat boneless buffalo wings?
 Because he has a tendency to choke.

Another Hero Member who is just a passerby in the NBA thread. Whew. Post your bounty post somewhere.

Seems like a common refrain of yours, mr. butthurt bandwagoner. lol

Image if LeBron was playing in the western conference all along, he would have made the finals once or twice. The goat my ass. Grin

Dont change the topic NBA idiot. You just saw the 2 free throws of Kawhi and the three point shot by Allen. Common reason by haters why Lebron got the 2 title. You didnt saw the effort made by Lebron in that final minutes. Imagine if Lebron playing in the West? That is not what we talk about here. Dont force yourself to post in a gambling thread where you dont have any knowledge just to reached your 5 post quota in gambling discussion.

There has never been any real GOAT discussions to begin with. Bron has SIX losses in the finals and three titles, two of which came with luck, let me be even more specific with extreme luck (Kawhi missed two free-throws in a row and then Ray Allen hit the infamous 3 pointer), also the Draymond Green suspension in '16. On the other hand, Jordan is unblemished in the finals 6/6.

Another Lebron hater that lurking in the thread because of signature campaign requirements. Lebron won by LUCK? Do your assignment. Check Lebron stats since playoffs to finals on that 2 luck champion. Check the score he made at the last minutes of that final games. Stats are useless if Ray Allen didnt hit that 3 and Green didn't suspend? The reason for those who cant move on and didnt accept the fact that Lebron made some great efforts to win those champs.

I do not recall Lebron EVER missing playoffs

I do not recall Bron ever playing in the western conference before. lol



The only thing worth discussing now is when will Luke Walton be fired by the Lakers? There's been rumors and speculations for more than three months and since Pels didn't bend over and give AD, you can't keep the passive-aggressive drama queen unhappy forever.  Cheesy

And also the calls on the fouls were too soft, one thing that trigger the player not to play hard defense.

Fouls are fouls. Soft fouls only matter when the games are last minute and if the score is crucial. Refs most likely don't call a foul in a soft foul if the game is about to end.

Yeah. Recently most points of James Harden came from FT shooting. For me his like not playing hard, he's just playing smart.

Yeah. He is playing smart and sometimes it gets boring to watch when he plays like that.
Too sensitive for just a small bump.
You could always see how he reacts even if there is no contact. Just the mere getting near him will make it look like there is a foul.
When I am watching him and he keeps on doing that, I turn off my television and just watch other games in Youtube. Grin
I just dont like it when refs are buying those kind of acts and mostly they do.

Harden's next life will be a Hollywood actor.

Comparisons started. Kobe was 34 when he got his worse injury and couldn't give Lakers his best after that, Lebron is 34 and had his longest injury this season as well. Kobe was the leader of a 28-29 Lakers team before he got injured and used all of his power to bring them to playoffs that season (his last real season) before he got injured and basically never become the same player again.

Lebron is the leader of a 28-29 Lakers team right now on a tough west team with a tough schedule. Lets see if Lebron will carry this team to playoffs no matter what like Kobe did or will he give in and just have an early season for the first time ever in his whole career, I do not recall Lebron EVER missing playoffs, if that happens it would be super damaging to his GOAT discussions.

Smart players lead the game in control, he's good performing his task and with that, the team trust him every dying minutes of the game will be for him,
and most likely he will bring something to entertain the fans, Harden loves playing with mindset and he recognize right away, that's how he collect those
calls from the ref.

Soft call trigger when the actors knows how to fish for it, one of those quality that Harden have inside the court.

As a good player then we can expect versatility no matter what position he would shoot up the ball either outside or inside it doesnt matter and i do completely
agree with soft fouls which arent called on crucial times.

For MVP candidate i do consider Harden would be on the list.
The organization knows what to do, calls are not consistent in the NBA, that's why we see sometimes that players protesting, of course
they are not perfect or maybe some games are rigged. Harden is good in regular season but have you noticed how he played during the playoffs, he mostly struggle and if not because of Chris Paul in the last off season, they would not reach the West Finals.

Yes, i have noticed it too when it comes of his performance on regular season which you can really say that it is outstanding and i agree about that struggle on playoffs. He do get some
star sparks on regular but when it comes to playoffs those are fading down.
And if he will continue to do that, he will never win a championship in his NBA career.
Harden has made his style bring success to him but his defense is needed during the playoffs, if this guy will be doubled
every time he holds the ball, I don't think he can continue with his high scoring performance.

In playoffs teams adjust every game, and the secret why the warriors are dominating the NBA is because
they have scorers in the floor and if they can stopped harden, it would be an easy job for them to win against the Rockets.
I guess we will see them again in the west finals this season, no good team in the west so far that could beat the Rockets except the warriors.

Well, soft foul calls always matter, it would be a pain in ass if you get too many of those in the early quarter, then probably down the stretch you'd be careful not to foul anyone driving the lane or else you'll be sent to the bench with 6 fouls. I get it how James Harden plays his offensive strategy, but sometimes its just not really impressive at all, and I didint say he's not good, of course he is. IMO, foul baits should be an offensive foul too, just like hitting a defenders steady arms deliberately in the process of attempting a field goal.

Getting foul most of the time is playing hard, you sacrifice your body to get a call, I think that's playing hard but he did it in a smart way.
James harden is also a good shooter outside, so we cannot underestimate his offense as both inside and outside he can shoot.

I won't be surprise if he will become the MVP this season again, of course PG is remarkable too.

Westbrook with 10 triple doubles in a row! And PG also had a triple double which makes 10th time a team had 2 players with td in the same game. They are playing defense amazingly this year and their offense flows much better with PG on the team.

I don't know how viable this team will be in playoffs since they only have 2 great scorers and unless some other player has a career night it will be just defending Westbrook and pg for the other team. Westbrook broke Wilts record of consecutive td in a row with his 10th game, anytime any player breaks Wilts any record it is a huge accomplishment, he has so many that we talk about the second place most of the time.

I think there are just couple more records left that could potentially be impossible to break, stocktons assist and steals are number one because it took him 19 years of little to no injury to reach there, players do not play that much anymore and they sit out constantly. The other one is pretty obvious, 48.5 minutes a game by Wilt, dude played all games and all overtimes all the time, the game is 48 minute long so there is no chance anyone plays 48.5 minute a game.

Alright! He did it. He deserve it.
No problem with their roster actually. Adams support is good enough for a center and even with a physical game his sportsmanship is never lost.

Schroder, Ferguson and Grant have been giving their best effort to make some changes with their game plays. Although I want to see changes in Grant's post up game. He had been reallt weak at thay side and even Harden can steal the ball from that position.
Ferguson though have been really explosive and he is good enough to make the floor spacious for offensive players.

I remember when Klay Thompson was just at GSW for making space since he stays on the three point line. But look at him now.

Westbrook and George can be enough if their teammates will play accordingly, this two superstars can both shot and pass  the ball so we'll, the supporting cast needs to step up and play well together, if OKC eyeing for a good position from the West they need to jibe together and not to completely relied with PG and WB, there's a lots of twist when playoff is coming near.

Honestly their "supporting cast" is always making some adjustments and not just relying only the main core. I noticed the improvement of OKC's bench roster this season. It's just that there is still inconsistency on some games but way more good overall than before. Just a little bit bench modification with some role players and they are good to go.

James Harden ftw. lol.

I double down on this. Wilt has some of the wildest records I don't think anyone would ever even come close to. Like the 50ppg or the 55 rebounds in a single game lol (fyi Bucks are the highest rebounding TEAM in the league avg 48.8 per game).

And while speaking about records being broken, here's two more that I think will never be touched. The Boston Celtics 8 titles in a row and...this might sound strange - the fewest points scored in a game - 1999 Bulls with just 49pts. Given how most teams went bonkers on shooting 3s the last couple of seasons and the fact that teams no longer play/are allowed to play defense. This one will stay forever.  Grin
