if dray hits his 3s its game over, if not its game on

/or iggy

thats kinda how it always is vs that team though - dray isn't actually a good 3pt shooter in the aggregate so you need to live with his because theres no other release valves

feel like iggy might be a little easier to cover within a scheme that makes sense but capela u really want to drop back into lane

rumour is coach nick was fired from a hs for racism

[haltingly, through tears] coach nick is a good man

micah you have the coach nick first mention on ilx and clearly you've been out to smear the man ever since:

Casey gone; LeBron hired as 1st ever player-coach to play for 1 team but coach another.

please don't discuss the toronto raptors in a playoffs thread

Conf finals better go longer than round 2 because this is torturous

I wonder if anyone has done the list of careers ended by lebron along the lines of the old list of role players who got paid playing with Shaq, now that we can add Casey to it

i think a lot about the eras of certain franchises that lebron effectively ended

-- big 3 celtics
-- d rose/thibs bulls
-- hibbert/west pacers
-- horford/korver hawks
-- dwane casey raptors

--Milicic/Pistons

-- big 3 celtics

actually the big three ended lebrons first run in cleveland, then they got old/injured, lebrons never had a team good enough to beat the prime celtics big three

its kinda interesting none of brons teams have been alltimers

2016 team was legit

Big 3 made him pout and quit MID PLAYOFF GAME

its true he was sad

what qualifies as all timers?

it's true that the big 3 ended lebron's first run in cleveland, also true that lebron's heat teams beat the KG/pierce/rondo celtics twice in the playoffs and then the team was broken up one season later

i think this is prob true. his heat title teams were pretty great and in some hypothetical situation where the best teams of all time were playing together would prob put up a good fight simply bcuz of lebron, but the supporting cast that era was kind of hanging by a thread at all times

the heat team that beat OKC was on a 57 win pace over a non-lockout season, but also got taken to the brink by a celtics team that wasn't better than them. the one that beat the spurs won 66 games but got taken to 7 by the pacers and prob shouldn't have won the title. the year after was the streak team & they blew thru the offs but then totally ran out of gas in the finals. it's hard to figure where they stand in the historical pantheon.

i don't really rate the lebron cavs title team that highly. bron played superhuman out of his mind crazy basketball i've never seen anyone play & kyrie was amazing too but that was more of a case of the warriors jedi mind tricking themselves, draymond losing control & steph being hurt.

cmon jordan ur better than this lol

lol

why do we have to pretend like that era celtics team didn’t lose twice to lebron...

why do we have to pretend an over the hill injured depleted team losing fits yr front running narrative of bron the destroyer when really that celtics team owned the hell out of him

i mean one of their big three was literally on the heat the last year they beat the celtics, and he was a role player, because the big three were old as hell by then, bron just outlasted them, because hes younger lol

theyre what made him want a super team of his own, the celtics big 3 are lebrons dad

cool
