Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

He shot 4 free throws today dude lol

His team shot twice as many as the opposition, in a road playoff game. Doesn't happen very often.

They most likely did. Sure, they might still pull it out, but I wouldn't bet on it. Would you?

I wouldn't bet on anyone winning this series. It's wiiiiide open.

LeBron is the only player on earth who can play this much under his normal level of play and still give you 26/11/9.. Dude is a freak, no way he's not still the best player on earth.

He's played pretty bad by his standards, and his teammates aren't playing all that great either, yet he's averaging nearly a triple double. He'd be scoring more too if anyone else could handle the ball and let him post.. But they can't afford to let anyone else handle it.

I actually think aside from Kyrie, his teammates are playing well in general, particularly Dellavedova, Thompson, Mozgov and Shumpert.

Who from the Bulls was getting in the lane and drawing fouls though???? Or do you just like looking at the box score?

Delly and as Shump have stepped up big time.. TT and Mozgov have been about normal.. If they could just catch and go up and not bobble everything LeBron would be averaging 15 assists a night though lol.

Mozgov has been solid defensively though.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

We're talking about a guy that once shot more FT's than a whole team in a playoff series. If you really don't think he gets more calls than anyone else, there's no sense going back and forth about it.

Well he was playing in the post and scoring on like 80% of his post ups.. There is a reason he was getting fouled.

Also Jordan averaged more playoff free throws per game as a shooting guard in a "hardnosed" era then LeBron who has played more than half his playoff games in the post in a "ticky tack" era..

You are reaching very hard with this free throw nonsense.. LeBron had 3 charges tonight and wasn't given the obvious foul on a chance to win the game.. I would love to know how he was the one getting ref help.

3 charges? That's cool, considering he charges about 10 times a game, it's just usually called a defensive foul. And on the drive at the end, you know refs swallow their whistle, right or wrong. If you watch the replay of that play, LeBron lowers his shoulder (per usual) and alters his path to run into Noah. Why haven't you addressed Blatt blatantly calling a TO they didn't have and all the refs ignoring it? If it was an assistant, from the bench area, sure, but the HC 5 feet on the court? Nah.

As for the next game, I wish Cleveland would use Perk to do the hack a **** on Noah. Before going 2/2 tonight he was 33%.

Plus I want to see threeking's reaction lol

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Man, the LeBron hate is still going on?

I guess I can't be mad. I would be typing dumb nonsense too if the internet was around in Jordan's day when I was a kid. I was the kid that told everyone he sucked and just took a lot of shots.

But I also hated that he beat my Knicks every year. And I was eleven.

In other words, people that hate on James for the reasons I hated Jordan, are basically acting childish.

The fact that it's a Lakers fan that is pushing that nonsense makes the whole thing laughable.

This must be fake.. That's never happened before, only to a LeBron team could it happen.

Especially since at one point in time Kobe was averaging double digit free throw attempts despite over 60% of his shots coming from farther than 10 feet of the basket..

And Tim Donaghy when caught in his scandal admitted that the Lakers were sending in videos complaining about Kobe not getting calls, so the refs were told to give him every 50/50 call after that.

We all know how credible Tim Donaghy is.
