hello friends it's the 2018 NBA Playoffs, a place where dreams GO 2 DIE

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

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

its kinda interesting none of brons teams have been alltimers

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.

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

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

there's something about Boston sports homerism that makes me certain there's no god

oh my god dont be such a baby

according to that film poster, there is a 25% chance that any of us is a baby, be careful with your words

plz do not pee on my shirt and high waited slacks which i hold up with suspenders

u deserved it magnum PI aka magnum piss instigator

hmm no the PI stands for Piss Inthetoiletplease

Did you mean: In The Toilet Please

Magnum PITTP

doesnt have the same ring does it

also your relationship with monica gellar was inappropriate

you have to understand it was a different time "the 80s"

reading the posts from the past two days makes me want the playoffs to return so we don't devolve any further into inanity

agreed, its really making the sad sports boys act out

I already forgot what a slam dunk is and I registered libertarian for the primaries

oh my god dont be such a baby

Marcus Morris says he’s best LeBron defender in NBA outside Kawhi Leonard https://t.co/EhcwXpUOE9

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) May 12, 2018

but who is the best LeBron defender in NBA inside Kawhi Leonard?

I have thoroughly investigated this question and the only NBA player inside Kawhi Leonard is Kawhi Leonard. You can take that to the bank.

Being Kawhi Leonard

Quadrophenia.

kawhi contain multitudes

i need the games, friends, where are the games

tomorrow lord willing there will be a game

praise the bringer of the games

amen

big game today fellas!

heads up its an early one 130pm mountain time

that classic time zone where fans of boston and cleveland live

yay it's my least favorite start time in the playoffs

mountain time aka the famous basketball zone

LeBron James at 3:30 EST? What the fuck NBA?

Love day games. Day drinking and in bed at a reasonable hour (8:30 pm)

yeah why the hate for day games idgi

cavs in 6
warriors in 7

my predix

i like early day games, sometimes on the west coast a game can start at 10 tho which is just excessive imo

i just want the rockets and celtics to win im not even gonna predict, except to say i think the celtics prob have a better shot than the rockets

Warriors will probably win in 5 or 6. Cavs/Celtics, I have no idea.

hell yeah the world champ is riding for our green boys

Zoomed in and locked in for game 1! @MagnusBarstad pic.twitter.com/ETIHdaxQz1

definitely want to avoid another cavs/warriors finals, tho I think the rockets have a really good shot vs the warriors. I'm done picking against lebron in the east
