The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 6)

Also ngl the bucks arent looking great lol

I literally just tuned in and I want to immediatley tune out. What the **** is this ****.

Also how the hell does giannis have 4 offensive fouls, christ. These last three days of playoff basketball has not been good for my personal motivation lmao.

Bucks were playing 70 win basketball and weren't eeven making full use of their long ass perimiter defenders. Now they're the 2019 celtics. **** hell.

Informal warnings to both unibrodavis and Greyhound. Enough of your back and forth.

Lastly both of you have admitted that one of you is petty and the other one looks for confrontation - please stop this right away. Be more respectful of others and there is a reason the both of you get into it with other posters so often. This is not conducive to forum posting here and is basically admitting that the both of you post to bait others. Enough!

I mean, bud adjusted against the celtics who basically posed the same problem as miami with their hot shooting, and in that series, the bucks were cold throughout. For all the memes they get, they were a top ten offense, defense, srs, ect.

Over here the bucks have actually been hot but somehow are getting blasted.

Lebron really had a stranglehold on the East. The notion that the Heat or Celtics might make the finals with their respective rosters is crazy to me.

Given they're both a lot better than any of lebron's eastern opponents post pacers... not really.

It's still very early and I think Boston are the best team in the East right now, but a Heat-Lakers final would be special!

Boston vs Lakers is way more fun

Meh, not interested. I don't wanna see Boston make the Finals. Much rather have any non-Boston eastern team in the Finals (just a personal preference).

What did I do on in this situation for an informal warning?

I posted a day or two ago that the East will be three games in compared to the west teams having only played one playoff game a piece by Saturday morning. This guy proceeds to literally follow me around taking shots at me for a take a week ago, then takes shots at my intelligence.

I guess telling someone to get off your back and putting them on your yawn list is grounds for informal warning.

I don’t post to bait anyone and I have never admitted to anything of the sort. I have strong opinions that lead to differences of opinions now and then. In most situations the two views can be articulated and that’s the end of it. A confrontation of opinions handled respectfully is simply a debate.

I would also like to point out...

That bit about looking for confrontation leaves out the part that preceded it about handling it respectfully. That’s a rather impactful omission.

My calling myself prick-ish was a joke btw.

...

How could I have handled this situation better?

Do you think the 2014-2018 Cavs lose to either of those team though? The 2018 iteration probably doesn’t make it out of the East but I think the Lebron/Kyrie Cavs do.

You have been on the boards since 2002 so you should already know this:

1) Someone takes a shot at you, you respond in kind, BOTH of you get a warning (no exceptions). The right way to do is that someone takes a shot at you, you report the post and move on - that's how you could have handled the situation and in that scenario only the other user would have a warning, you would not.
2) When you openly admit to looking for confrontation it doesn't matter if you are being "respectful" and from the comments from other mods on your profile, it's been noticed that you do often get into it with other posters because when you look for confrontation, you get confrontation. Goes without saying disagreeing with others is fine and not the issue.
3) This thread has been derailed enough. If you want further clarification or discussion on this matter, PM myself or another mod.

Lebron would carve those teams apart, yes. Giannis just isn't a great offensive player, far too limited

[yoyoboy]

Boston is for sure the most dangerous team out East. Stevens is a chess master, Tatum looks like a true superstar, and everyone else plays their role so effectively. I'd be surprised at this point if they don't make it out.

18 cavs get lol stomped.

The 19 bucks are a much better team and gainnis is a dpoy, he doesn't need to be some offensive maestro to beat lebron's somehow got outsocred by the pacers, cavs.

Bucks destroyed a better version of boston than the one the cavs barely scraped by.

16 and 17 cavs surrreee. i've gotten lower on the 16 cavs tho.

I don’t like Boston or LA I just think it’s a more fun matchup and just adds something different to Lebrons legacy If he was able to beat Boston playing for the Lakers.

[Dupp]

Giannis needs to play more like AD in the half court. He needs a good playmaker to get him the ball on the move and not have to create so much.

The problem with your scenario is Boston could win the title and I ain't about that life.

[MisterHibachi]

Too bad NBA voters decided Giannis had won MVP in January and were too embarrassed to change their mind the rest of the way.

[thebigbird]

Someone take Giannis’s mvp and deliver it to LeBron.
