Re: 3/5 - 3/11 Games Discussion Thread

That one is definitely patting himself on the back and lame as hell. He posted that 2 hours before the game last night. That’s lame as ****. For an accomplishment like this, I get posting something after the game because that’s actually a huge deal what he’s done, but when your team is in turmoil, your playoff chances are circling the drain so you’re going into yet another must win game and you’re posting a precongratulatory tweet before the game? That’s lame. What if he gets ejected before he scores the 13 points? What if he breaks his leg or tears an ACL before he gets it? Not to mention it just looks selfish, particularly with everything that’s happened this season.

I mean basically all you're saying is echoing what he said; people are gonna scrutinize him no matter what he does, so I'm guessing if he had waited to post the same thing after the game it wouldn't have made a difference in your mind?

And his post-game quotes definitely indicate it's the fact that it's MJ and it's a big deal to him personally:

"Of all the stuff I've done in my career, this ranks right up there at the top with winning a championship," James said. "For a kid from Akron, Ohio, that needed inspiration and needed some type of positive influence, MJ was that guy for me. I watched him from afar, wanted to be like MJ, wanted to shoot fadeaways like MJ, wanted to stick my tongue out on dunks like MJ, wanted to wear my sneakers like MJ. I wanted kids to look up to me at some point like MJ and it's just crazy, to be honest. It's beyond crazy."

"I kind of take all accomplishments as they come, and anytime I'm in the breath of any of the greats and, obviously, MJ being the guy I looked up to my whole life, a guy I aspired to be when I was a kid and just, I think it's going to be pretty cool,"

The Wizards won and I actually managed to watch it. It''s crazy how much the team has changed this year. Now it seems like they have two or three of the same type of players, but I like what I've seen from Parker and Portis so far. Efficient and flowing aren't words I would use to describe their offense, but they looked good last night.

I also caught the last half of the Bulls game. Looks like Porter still vanishes during late game, but LeVine was also cooking so. Weird way to finish the game, too.

Nets repping 6ix9ine is almost Kyrie to Boston level perfection.

Also, in "nobody cares but Spurs fans" news-

Derrick White is turning into one of the best defensive guards in the league. 9 blocks the last 2 games including 6 last night.

When Murray comes back that's a stingy backcourt.

Did the part of that post where I said given the magnitude of the accomplishment posting something after the game like he did do would have been cool give that away for you or you just a really good guesser?

This is not a “he’s gonna be scrutinized no matter what he does” type of situation man. It’s just incredibly tone def to be posting about how amazing it’s going to be to break an individual record 2 hours before your underachieving team that’s basically laying halfway in the casket for playoff hopes is about to go out there for a game that could very well be the game that puts the nail in their coffin especially when you’ve been the guy showing a lack of effort on the court, sitting halfway down the bench from the rest of your teammates, calling guys out in the media about distractions and having to “want it” every second of the day, etc. I know you gonna ride or die with your boy though so it’s whatever.

Why Rondo so mad? I missed the game.

He did it the other day with JaVale too if I'm not mistaken, I don't think anything in particular happened. 1.) he's weird, 2.) they stink

Meh, I didn’t have a problem with that tweet before the game. I would’ve done the same thing despite everything else going on with the team.

I do have a problem with his comments last night about people having unrealistic expectations of the young players on the team. That was rich coming from him.

Don’t be comparing us to no snitch bro[emoji2293]

I've been keeping track. They should be really good. I can't wait. This year already feels like a wash. The Warriors are just that good.

I don't think he's necessarily being tone def cause he's well aware of how everything he or any big star says can get twisted, I honestly think he just doesn't give a **** anymore. Cause guys like you are always gonna bring this stuff up (this is the second tweet/post in the last 2-3 weeks of his YOU'VE brought up when no one else on here did) no matter what it says.

And he always sits at the end of the bench, don't be silly about that nonsense.

Re: 3/5 - 3/11 Games Discussion Thread

While LeBron's passing of MJ on the all time scoring list is admirable there are some subplots to this development.

-Point-making is much easier in today's game than it was in Jordan's salad days. Hand-checkers could afford to play a half step off and still interfere with jumpers and stifle dribble drives. Cutters could be bumped with impunity. Fouls that are ruled flagrant today were mostly just whistled as personal fouls.

-LeBron needed 118 extra games to pass MJ. This with the absurd amount of trey balls being launched.

-Touches. LeBron usually gets 70 plus touches in a game. Much more than MJ ever did. They functioned differently of course with LeBron acting like a point forward and Jordan more of a terminator.

-Energy expended on defense. When Jordan entered the league in 1984 he was already a buzzsaw on the defensive end. No player in history ever played the combination of offense and defense at a level comparable to Jordan.
LBJ didn't even start playing active and attentive defense until the 2007-08 season, his fifth in the NBA.

I think your in the wrong thread.

First off, I’m pretty sure I didn’t bring up his playoff mode tweet, I chimed in on it, but I didn’t bring it up. I usually don’t care about LeBron’s tweets unless it’s some stupid *** **** like this. LeBron is the King of the self inflicted gunshot wound that people like you use every bit of aerobics you can think of to defend when sometimes it’s alright to just say ‘yeah Bron, probably should have kept that one in the holster.’ Or ‘probably gonna cause more harm than good to post that one Bron, just skip out on the controversy today bro.’
