speaking of refusing to take a position on an issue...

thanks for the laughs

I think his eye probably hurt, while you questioned another man's toughness. what are you confused about?

6/3/2018 10:27:02 PM

Pachulia getting some action. Kerr must be looking to deplete Cleveland's bench.

6/3/2018 10:31:41 PM

awesome. both dudes who won't take a position on any issue start the page complaining about my positions.

10/10

[Edited on June 3, 2018 at 10:35 PM. Reason : if the over/under is 1.5 games i assume we're all taking the under right?]

6/3/2018 10:32:30 PM

I think it's pretty obvious that my stance is that Lebron DID take a forceful finger to his eye in game 1, while your stance is that it wasn't that bad and he shouldn't have been writhing around for 30 seconds.

do you want to bet some money or something? wtf are you babbling about with the number of games Cleveland will win?

even if you got the answers you for whatever reason are so in need of, you’ve proven that you wouldn’t be able to read and understand them, so what’s the point?

LeBron's toughness is as solidified as his fondness for flopping/selling a foul (see page 14)

Quote :

""When asked for his thoughts on the flopping, LeBron essentially shrugged, per Ken Berger of CBS Sports: "It hasn't been a problem for many guys at all," James said. "I don't really pay too much attention to it. I think it's been good, I guess." "It's year one, so you're not just going to go cold turkey," James said. "Guys have been accustomed to doing it for years, and it's not even a bad thing. You're just trying to get the advantage. Any way you can get the advantage over an opponent to help your team win, then so be it."""

Asking someone to take a simple over/under position is far from babbling.

Quote :

"even if you got the answers you for whatever reason are so in need of"

It's not about answers. It's about taking a position, which you never do. Because that leaves you exposed. Easier to call out others for their positions rather than taking your own.

6/3/2018 10:43:00 PM

flopping to take advantage of rules = expressing discomfort for actually getting hurt

aren't you the herb clown that likes to call people out for strawmen all the time?

Do you have any comments about tonight's game?

6/3/2018 11:12:22 PM

It was boring.

I hope the rest are more like game 1.

6/3/2018 11:17:14 PM

oh so you were enthralled by tonight's events?

6/3/2018 11:18:35 PM

It wasn't quite as entertaining as game 1, but I was just seeing if you had any comments about the actual basketball.

this is not quite as dumb as misreading a rule using it in an attempt to argue that you knew what you were talking about, but it’s still pretty dumb

6/3/2018 11:54:21 PM

So still taking no position that you'll have to defend. Cool.

[Edited on June 4, 2018 at 12:18 AM. Reason : You "LOVE" LeBron but allegedly are not a fan, thus not a position you have to defend.]

6/4/2018 12:14:55 AM

Refs really screwed Cleveland tonight SMH

6/4/2018 1:05:54 AM

^curry overrated, KD is a snake

6/4/2018 3:16:05 AM

Lebron did get tackled on an outlet pass with no call. But Curry was nuts and Cleveland was missing wide open threes in the 4th...so it didn't make a difference in the game. But I continue to be surprised the lack of calls the best player in the world gets.

6/4/2018 7:44:17 AM

Because his complaining, initiating contact, and exaggeration at times has grown tiring to many

6/4/2018 8:09:06 AM

But that play should have been a foul.

I also can't overlook LeBron's walking ACROSS the court with 15 seconds left, not to shake hands or anything, but to get to the locker room quicker.

6/4/2018 8:10:48 AM

https://streamable.com/0bpcd

Skip to 1:33 to watch LeBron ask Lue if they had 1 more TO at the end of game 1.

Like, I know this series is far from over and this isn't the right time to think about this, but game 1 was a HUGE missed opportunity for the Cavs and its hard watching this reaction and think "yeah, lebron is gonna stay with this crew."

You literally just described every player in the NBA. It probably seems more apparent this series because he's not getting the calls he normally gets.

Quote :

"I know this series is far from over"

It's pretty close to being over. I'm actually surprised at how close Cleveland is keeping seeing as they still aren't playing well (everyone other than Lebron shot 32% on uncontested threes last night...that's pitiful)...but the unfortunate reality is that even if they do start playing well and hitting shots...they would still lose if Golden State played at their highest level.

Same here. It’s incredible how seldom Curry has gone to the line while getting absolutely mauled the past few games.

6/4/2018 9:46:43 AM

dumb arguments up in here

6/4/2018 10:04:40 AM

you’d better defend your position before the position police show up

6/4/2018 10:20:29 AM

man, i clearly established my position, by having both of my feet on the ground

There should have been a foul when Love knee'd his thigh...but that's about the only egregious miss call I've seen on Ms. Curry. He was bitching about that three point attempt where he threw his shoulder into a Cav defender and cried about the no-call (then somehow the ref called it out on Cleveland).

6/4/2018 10:46:30 AM

He’s been to the the line four times during the finals.

I think the officiating has been meh on both sides overall, but he’s not getting much help from the refs, so I don’t see why Lebron is crying so much about the officiating.

6/4/2018 2:04:45 PM

In two games he's shot 28 threes. That's why he's only gotten to the line 4 times.

Lebron is the best player on the planet (probably the history of the game)...and he got a horrible charge call reversed on him (horrible in the sense that it shouldn't have been reviewed because his feet weren't even close to the restricted area..the call itself was a tossup), he's cleanly stripped Durant twice and not gotten the call (one called a foul, the other off Durant out of bounds), and he got tackled on an outlet pass with no call. And those are just the ones that stick out. He's fighting a huge uphill battle on discrepancy in talent alone...then when you tack on uneven officiating and dumbass plays by his teammates, the Cavs might want to put him on suicide watch.

Lebron bitches a lot. But when he goes nuts and really acts like a baby, its normally justified (the calls, not his actual reaction).

To show that I do give the Warriors credit when it is due...Draymond actually fessed up to a foul call last night. So the Apocalypse is definitely coming.

dumbass plays and brick after brick after brick after perfect passes that lead to wide open shots

I’d love to know which makes him crazier. I’d guess it’s the bricks.

6/4/2018 2:56:09 PM

I just feel like he's use to the bricks. This whole playoffs he's gotten good shooting from his teammates maybe 25% of the time? Still frustrating...but it's not like its anything new.

No one is as bad as lebron when it comes to who created the contact and his reaction to the play. He barrels over a guy, both guys get up like it was nothing. A guy 50lbs lighter than him bumps him (and the whistle blows) and he hits the ground for 30 seconds, gets up, checks his head 13 times to see if he's bleeding (when he was hit on the shoulder), and then goes to the line.

6/4/2018 3:16:21 PM

he has nothing to do the dumbassery, though

if I put somebody in the best possible position to succeed and they failed time after time, that would drive me absolutely nuts

6/4/2018 3:16:34 PM

^^well when someone fouls Lebron and he doesn't even budge, the ref isn't going to notice it. Just like Shaq. You have to sell it a little if you're that big and strong.

6/4/2018 3:34:55 PM

Hey guys! Let's talk about what's a charge and what's a flop until game 3 starts!
