***Official NBA Playoffs Thread: Lebron Needs Tolerant Canada***

If you're counting it like that, Bogus over Bish is debatable

 

[faustian]

2009/10 All NBA first team: Kevin Durant (F) Lebron James (F) Dwight Howard (F) Kobe Bryant (G) Dwyane Wade (G)

second team: Carmelo Anthony (F) Dirk Nowitzki (F) Amare Stoudemire (F) Deron Williams (G) Steve Nash (G)

third team: Paul Gasol (F) TIm Duncan (F) Andrew Bogut (F) Joe Johnson (G) Brandon Roy (G)

I count 9 forwards and 6 guards during the 2009/10 season (the year before Bosh joined the Heat, when he was "considered a top ten player")

Not sure if serious. Might as well just count all 15 guys as forwards and say there were 15 forwards better than Bosh

This isn't all-star team, it's all-NBA team. You still need 3 centers

Bogus is a center

 

[faustian]

exactly

Already a multiple time all-star (same with Love) by the time LeBeta joined him

 

[INeedARemedy]

Bogus is a center

I meant in regards to how Martian was counting it out. Maybe I misunderstood

 

[Almighty Angus]

lmao @ this beta. Can't even drink a beer.

Tbf, that looks like Busch lite lmao

It's bud light. They always have bud, but maybe they should have gotten him some wine coolers instead.

fair enough, Centres arent forwards, but my point still stands. Bosh was never in his career "considered a top ten player". I don't think thats up for debate

That was such a sloppy game. The Cavs have a horrible defense, they must have allowed 120 a game this series.

Nah son, haven't you heard that all of the defenses have evolved and are way better in this era?

All those open shots and easy layup and dunks by the warriors were allowed on purpose by the cavs to give them a false sense of security. The cavs must have forgot they were down 3-1.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

When was the second time he joined 2 all stars? He joined one. Love wasn't traded to the team when LeBron signed for the Cavs. Was Bosh in Miami? I can't remember.

Nothing compares to Durant. But you know what? He made the right call - he's probably happier that he's ever been and will be even richer than ever and that's what counts.

he literally went there knowing they'd move wiggins to make room for love....

not sure if serious

Kyrie was 21 years old when LeBrick went back to Canland and Love was 25 and stuck trying to carry the fkn Wolves to the yoffs in the West (and would've done so if he didn't get injured)

Love wasn't good for the wolves that dude was such a stat padder there , they year he lead in rebounds he was was overcomititng so much to getting offensive boards that the wolves had some of the worst transition D's in the league because opposing bigs would beat him every time. Love's Best year there 2013-2014 , he averaged 26 and 12 but they were 40-42 a full 9 games behind a playoff spot . Love is an all star but more if the All Star Role player type , not one you build a franchise around.

Granted the Cavs have had defensive issues all season but they have so much fire power. I think the Warriors run people ragged because they switch pretty well for this era and keep up a high pace because they have so many weapons that no one has to get tired playing too much ISO and teams wear down trying to keep up.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

it's not just Durant, anyone that wants to win is going to have join up w/ other stars as evident by bron getting swept and having to join two AS level players just to make it to the finals again

there's a reason only Jordan (twice), Hakeem, Duncan and Dirk are the only players in history w/ a ring as the LONE all star on the team.....

I mean cousins is with AD now, nobody bats an eye. Harden leaves to chase money and the spotlight, does jack and shit, nobody hates on him....

so we hate cats for making the smart move now?

lmao @ this beta. Can't even drink a beer.

Lol at the protection goggles. This team is so soft.

They can't even have a manly champagne celebration

 

[Bay Area]

This is how bosses celebrate with champagne

Zero fucks given for eye safety:

Coaching needs to get better , clowns need to accept that in this NBA , the 3 is fucking weapon that opens the Floor , but you better fucking commit to defending and also ball movement has to improve and conditioning, it's sounds simple but I feel like only a few of these teams are truly all in and majority of teams have damn near adopted defeatist mindsets.

you nailed it w/ conditioning and defense

the reason the dantoni style offense works for GS and ultimately not HOU and formerly PHX, is they actually play D and have the conditioning to not let that pace/two way play effect them

 

[asdffdsa]

Lebron literally formed a super-team in Miami. At the time Wade, Bosh and Lebron were all considered top 10 players.

#1, 2, and 4 PER in the league the previous season I believe.

That's probably why Kerr chose to go to GSW rather than team up with Phill he saw the pieces that GSW had under Mark Jackson , Jackson did a good job instilling good defense there but his offensive mind was lacking Kerr got to work with Phil and Pop in San Antonio so he got exposed to different concepts and he was in the Front office with Phoenix so he understood what Dantoni was trying to run and he was able to bring the best of both worlds with GSW . Bringing in Brown this year is also a savvy move because Brown, as flawed as he is actually does well teaching or upholding defensive principles .
