2016 NBA Playoffs Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 189

Understatement of the year haha

 

That's even more impressive considering they weren't even the number 1 seed that year. And the fact that they absolutely demolished the Spurs in the WCF.

edit: RE: that '01 Lakers team

 

Oh nice make-up.

 

LeBron. Hit the free throws. They are free points.

 

What if LeBron kept this up ... 6 more years. 37. What if he's like 30% worse over that time. Could still be an allstar.

 

Impressive finish by Kyrie high off the glass.

 

Kyrie knows all the spots on the glass, love how he does that.

 

Most players the re-set makes the most sense there. Kyrie can get away with going right back into the fray. Such a hard shot to finish with the defense and teammate collateral around the hoop.

 

Maybe the Raptors totally suck, but Love's defense has been nice tonight.

 

I kind of thought his defense got better towards the end of the regular season, but he has been noticeably improved in the playoffs. Completely agree.

 

That's insane. He's thirty fucking one. Shaq scored a lot of points in a lotttt of postseason games.

 

Not to diminish LeBron, but he has been getting his numbers in mostly seven game series formats all the way through. Still impressive how quickly he has gotten to those guys though.

 

Irving really needs to tuck his jersey in.

 

But how many of those early games went to 7 games for it to matter vs going deep in the playoffs?

 

Hey, 10 point game in the 3rd. Not bad. Was surprised by this rotation for the third though.

 

Nothing to back me up, but those early Cav rosters were booty. My guess is they were grinding it out against Detroit and Washington. Shaq and them had a lot of first round best of fives. That extra game needed to advance adds up over the years. I agree with you though. Just playing a little devil's advocate.

 

LOL ok Kyrie.

 

I was wondering what shoes Lebron was wearing tonight. In case anybody else was.

 

I'm with Gundy, fix that call.

 

Kyrie is cutting this Raptor defense up.

 

Raptors know they're in trouble now. Getting very mad.

 

Come on Cavs, get that Deep Fryer warmed up.

 

That shot of Jurasic village or park was very depressing.

 

Cavs did not score 30 points that quarter. Well played Toronto.
