He must've never seen LeBron James play.

The Cavs commentators are among the worst in the league.

“Throw the hammer down” is about the stupidest and most annoying things I’ve ever heard.

Confession.

I don't really care if Lebron wins the east, I am used to it and we have injury excuses anyway. Without Irving, the big dream of playing the Cavs is gone.

When Lebron plows over Toronto, I get secret pleasure anyway.

And if Lebron is out, I fear the Sixers might sneak in and to me all year all this Philly love is wayyyyy worse. (in more then one sport.)

And I don't care about the Pacers much, like I don't care about the Colts. A half dead Andrew Luck is at the game tonight in the crowd and Indy fans still say we pop balls and deflate and cheat and whatever garbage.

Cavs can never hold a big lead in this series.

I love the NBA playoffs. 2 point game right now.

Pacers didn't execute, while the Cavs did. This looks like it's going to be 2-2.

Lame, should have known the pacers couldn't do the unthinkable. Even when the NBA isn't predictable, it's still predictable.

The Pacers went straight Raptors on them and ran the clock down/ISO'ed the last 4-5 possession instead of continuing to do what got them the lead. Might have blew the series in this stretch.

Lance Stephenson cementing his legacy as a clown.

I will absolutely, positively root for LeBron over the 76ers if it comes down to it. I feel dirty saying that, but it's the truth.

One thing is for sure, though: whoever comes out of the East is going to get absolutely smoked by the Warriors.

I want us to end his East dominance next year(if he stays East) so I’m more than fine with him getting to the finals and losing again.

No truth to the rumor that Indy ' s starting five enter game 5 with 5 fouls each...

Wow, KD. Get your **** together. The guy is such a coward.

Accident? Come on. Seriously, who the hell reads the comment sections in IG posts? I wish KD had the balls to just say "Yeah, I did that. So what?". But nope, dude just backtracks. Dude is so insecure. :nonono:

This Utah/OKC series has been fun to watch. I like Mitchell, I respect the athleticism of Westbrook, but man oh man is Paul George just a rock solid basketball player. He's special.

I love Joe Ingles.

Utah is ABSOLUTELY EATING OKC’s lunch.
Melo looks horrible. Age has officially struck.
Westbrook TO after TO.
Ingles inside PG’s head.

Sam Presti is about to lose another star.

Even though Westbrook is more talented and will always put up better numbers but give me Kyrie anyday over this fool in the playoffs and give me Kyrie the player overall because of that. Westbrook never impresses me in the playoffs aside from having a game or 2 where he goes off but he also has a lot of inefficient ugly games.

Post #1840 » by **tlee324** » Tue Apr 24, 2018 5:36 am

I actually REALLY didn't like Westbrook early on in his career based on his complete cluelessness on defense despite his physical gifts, and just felt you can't play team basketball with him. He's gotten better on defense (it's not showing in this series though) and racks up plenty of stats for sure, but he's just a selfish player who doesn't elevate others around him. Just my opinion. I think Kyrie can at times go away from playing team ball as well, honestly, but he's just got the goods to deliver much of the time. I'm hoping more time with the head coach will bring out Kyrie's ability to impact the game by enhancing others around him.
