2014-2015 NBA Discussion Thread

You have to be the most delusional guy I've talked to about sports. Lebron is one of the most humble players in the nba. Not a good person? LMAO. Lebron as a person is a great guy. He's never blamed his team for their shortcomings, it's always been on himself. If you want to find proof of him doing that and post it here, by all means do so. Ah, so you hate him because he was on a stretcher during your national anthem? Ignorant how? Show me his social media posts so I can analyze them for you. It's clear you have the brain of a turkey. Your analysis has always been off in this thread, and you always find a way to seek the bad in the good. Probably the most pessimistic person I've talked to in sports in a non joking manner. I hope someone is paying you to show this much animosity towards someone over something stupid. If you want to talk about people with a shitty personality, talk about Kobe.

Hate to me is a strong word. People generally use it for teams that constantly win, or teams that beat opponents, liked by others (underdogs). But when you ask them why do you hate x, they will come up with the craziest excuses that logically don't make sense. Brian has always been a salty person, so it doesn't really surprise me.

 

Brain of a turkey? Delusional? Pessimistic?

You dare call me salty when you resort to insulting because my opinion of Lebron James doesn't stand in line with yours.

#Done

 

Your reasoning is why I went off. If you said you didn't like him because he beat your team 16 times in a row when he was in miami, and 3-1 this season, then I would fully understand. Instead, you choose to hate him because he didn't stand for your national anthem because his foot was on a stretcher lmfao.

This is the real Lebron he get's taken down so there's no easy bucket the man offer's him help and he swats his hand away.

"That's not a basket-ball play" Of course it's a basket-ball play you fucking Cavalier piece of shit commentator if Lebron was in the air then it's a different story but he was driving you have no choice but to do that or the fucker will get a bucket plus the foul.

Edit: After digging a little on which team has the worst commentators I found this lol everyone hates Cavaliers

I think you suffer from some type of mental dysfunction. He tossed him to the floor. Who the hell fouls like that? Holding him is one thing, throwing him to the floor is a different thing entirely. So Lebron can't get mad for being thrown on the floor. Nice reasoning there.

@Your reddit link. They're talking about the announcers, to which case, I agree entirely. They're both annoying.

 

-_- He wrapped his arms around his shoulders Lebron flopped Jonas weighs less then the guy lol. What do you expect for the team to do let Lebron drive get the easy bucket and maybe even the foul?

.

 

Westbrook with another Triple double I love this man.

Kyle Lowry almost had a Quadruple double dam.

 

Lol if only Lowry played this well with the rockets

 

Holding him would've been sufficient. He wasn't driving from full court. If anyone is at fault in that scenario, it's the guy who tossed Lebron on the floor. I don't think you play basketball, otherwise you would understand how that played out the way it did.

 

I wouldn't say I hate Lebron but I dislike him, but it is only because he is good and there are a ton of Lebron fans/bandwagoners.

Lebron is an amazing person. Lebron is an amazing player. I just like to cheer against the rest of the crowd that's all.

One player I can say I "hate" is Russell Westbrook. I understand it's a strong word, the word "hate", but I feel like my feelings toward him are equivalent to the strength of the word. It isn't about the team when it comes to him, it's about himself and his stats.

 

Lol I feel the exact same way about Lebron. I actually feel the opposite about Westbrook though. I don't love him, but I like his style. Though he is wreckless sometimes, I feel like he does play with that killer intensity that few players can match in the league. I'd prefer that over Lebron's attitude sometimes during games where he tries too hard to get everyone involved. He's been pretty unstoppable lately

 

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! LEBRON DOESN'T NEED TO DRIVE IT FROM FULL COURT HE'S NOT A FUCKING GUARD.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT GUY YOU RIDE HIS DICK SO MUCH YOU FAIL TO REALIZE LEBRON IS A FUCKING HYBRID PLAYER.

HE'S A FORWARD WHO PLAYS EXACTLY LIKE A GUARD BUT DOESN'T HAVE THE LIMITATIONS OTHER GUARDS DO BECAUSE HE'S FUCKING MASSIVE COMPARED TO GUARDS.

I only play basket-ball for fun with friends not competitively so when I do play I don't have the luxury of someone officiating the game.

I can clearly tell we are from different generations I've been watching the NBA for a long time I'm use to more physical basket-ball I can tell you started watching games maybe 1-2 years ago.

 

You're the epitome of erroneous. Your analysis is always off. Your IQ of the game is incredibly slight. There is a difference between running at full speed (full court), and a sudden sprint. One causes the density of said player to increase dramatically, thus making it harder to stop the person in movement. While the other does not, needing little to no significant force to stop said player. Why do you think flagrant fouls are more frequent on fast breaks? I've tried to be objective as possible here, but your ignorance of the game, and lack of common sense in general makes it nearly impossible to show you the obvious. Unlike you, I have played basketball competitively (summer aau). You're what, 23? I've been watching basketball for about 13 years now, and I can say for certain that I do have more knowledge than you when it comes to the game. I'd probably take you seriously if you weren't spewing bullshit most of the time, giving constant false predictions, and showing an incredible amount of bias.

This thread needs to be renamed Brian vs Ghast

I don't like Lebron too much, just never have really.

But I will say that he is the ONLY thing that makes the NBA interesting to me. The Hero-Villain persona, the rivalry with the Spurs, Celtics, Kobe - Jordan comparison etc.

People hate on Lebron yet adore Kevin Durant, a guy who has done a fair bit of whining this season. Hypocrisy.

Despite me not liking LBJ, which was easy as a Celtics fan, the NBA would not be interesting without him. Nobody is as polarizing.

He's the NBA version of Duke's Christian Laettner

 

James dominance over the NBA is ending maybe he'll manage to cheat his way to the finals a couple more times (because the officials worship him) but he won't beat any West power houses in a 7 game series because the West will more then likely have home court advantage unless Atlanta makes the finals.

I'll be surprised if Cleveland manages to beat the Hawks they are so good watching them play is like watching a young San Antonio.

Other then Atlanta, Cleveland shouldn't have too much trouble I had high hopes for Chicago but Rose is just a sad story. The only thing that can stop Cleveland is if Lebron get's injured, if that happens Cav's will get beat by anyone.

 

I really don't see anyone in the East beating the Cavs, but we'll see.

 

The Rockets are awesome right now, James Harden cannot be stopped.

 

The Rockets or Raptors! Im a fan of Lithuanians
