3-15 from 3pt in games 5-7
5-24 fg in games 5-7
thats what harrison barnes was doing
his jumpers in last years finals were turnovers
had the entire 1st row ducking for safety
lebron no longer has the luxury to rest on defense -- he wont be able to roam -- hes gonna have to expound energy on both ends of the court like they do steph -- lebron is gonna have his hands full trying to guard kd because while the narrative seems to be that lebron is kd kryptonite -- that couldnt be further from the truth -- from a win/loss standpoint yes but make no mistake about it
kd can get buckets on lebron
been doing it since he was 23 in the 2012 finals + i dont think the cavs defense is good enough right now for lebron to be able to control the pace of the game like he was able to last year
warriors in 6
anyone want to paypal bet?
i got the warriors in 6
if it go 7 you win no matter the result
Chill with that defense comment bruh. Dont forget its harder to gaurd the Celtics and the Cavs beat them in 5. -
Based on what CK just said, I've come to the conclusion that they should give IT those 5 years

it kinda reminds me of people arguing that adrian peterson should be paid big money while ignoring all the evidence that a RB hits a wall at 30 years old no matter who they are
they said no way
AP different
hes a freak
etc
and look what happened
he hit a wall at 30 years old and at 32 years old he is barely worth a 1 year deal on a mediocre team -
Celtics fans, check out this scenario. I hear that Hayward is pretty much a lock to go to the Celtics. Lets say that does happen.
Once yall got Hayward, would yall be down to trade lets say a combo of IT, the #1 pick this year, and lets say crowder, avery or smart for PG or Butler? That will give yall a core of Hayward, PG/Butler, Horford, and most of yall current bench, and all under a great coach.
Would be an interesting shakeup. Everyone is acting like if the Cs get Hayward they gonna be out on PG or Butler, but I wouldnt be suprised if they go ahead and trade for one of them if they get Hayward
C's aren't giving up the #1 pick for jimmy or pg and the bulls aren't trading jimmy to boston without the #1 pick.That's way too much to give up too
I cosign the bolded but my 1st sentence basically bodies that.Pg is fixated on goin to the lakers to be 6-10 seeds -
kyle lowly - peaking at 27-30 but injuries are hitting and is likely about to face a hard fall at 30 years old -- lets see how this goes the next 3 years
As A Philly fan this is the main reason I don’t want him on the team. If Philly was in a win now situation, a 2-3 year contract would be ok. I rather take my chances on developing a youngin or trying a cheaper option than Kyle. I really was wishing GS would of gave up McCaw for Noel or Okafor at the deadline. Now they are saying that Ball would consider working out for Philly. Don't want him either. I'm just not convinced he is the phenom some are calling him. -
if Fultz goes number 1, he will be paid more than IT next season

That #1 pick has to be involved for a trade to happen.
I dont think something like this is gonna happen, but itll be cool if some ? comes out left field like this. -

lowry a late bloomer in the sense he didnt start seeing heavy minutes (30+/game) until he was 24
curious whether this might help as he ages
but yeah i wouldnt bet on it
i cant really comment on lonzo because i havent watched him play enough but i do think hes getting a bad rap thats clouding peoples judgement of him
he definitely looks the part
big guard
great passer/decision maker
good outside shooter
and he comes off like a well mannered, soft spoken kid
im not gonna hold not wanting to workout for boston against him because thats most likely coming from his dad who just doesnt want his son called ? every time he miss an open jumper -

There is only one basketball. Plus last I checked KD has to defend LeBron and Curry got to guard Kyrie. I still think Clevelands size will be the difference. McGee nor Zaza keeping Love or Thompson off them boards.
Out of 16 playoff teams GS ranked 2nd in postseason rebounds per game. Cleveland 10th.
2 GS opponents ranked top 5. SA 3rd, Portland 5th. Indy, Cle's highest opponent was 10th.
Drop another alternative fact.
SA averaged 87 shots per game. Portland averaged 89 shots per game. IND shot 87 shots per game. GS averages 85 shots.
Bos averaged 84, and Toronto 79 shots per game. Cleveland averages 80 shots.
It makes sense that if teams shoot the ball less, there's gonna be less rebounds available.
Regular season GS 7th. Cle 12th
Move the goalpost again.
See I respect MallyG for just saying he riding with Bron because he riding with Bron. I respect honesty.
Ironically the only ? making up hot takes and false narratives are you no team LeBron is king where he go I go ? .
Just be real and say I expect a bunch of outlier things to happen and Cleveland wins. Because that would be accurate, instead of embarrassing yourself with fake takes.
Talking about fake takes lol...? nothing you said has anything to do with your original post.
You posting playoff rebounding numbers like you really was saying something.
Pace of play determines how many rebounds are available. If two teams are putting up 90 shots a piece, let's be generous and say they both shoot 50 percent, that's 90 rebounds up for grabs. In contrast two teams put up 80 shots a piece, in the same circumstance there's gonna be 10 less rebounds available.
You added all of that other ? that has nothing to do with your original post ( typical strawman, and appeal to emotions weak argument ? lol you would be a terrible lawyer) to try and save face. Lol ? gonna go pull up regular season rebounding like pace of play doesn't factor into that either lmao. It's not by coincidence that the teams with low shot attempts are at the bottom for rebounds.
? titangraphs ain't gonna make you sound smarter than you are. You're talking in circles. With zero facts. Just more dickeating.
I pointed out that GS is the better rebounding team. They are. Head to head this season GS is +21 in rebounds to the Cavs. Put a spin on that.
Facts are you and usmarine posting a bunch of ? trying to masquerade Bron dickridery. We got the drop on you, I know what it is.
Csdl is that way.

Harrison Barnes 9ppg 31% 3's 35% fg in the finals
Took all of this for the cavs to comeback from 3-1.Seems people forgot the factors
durant has replaced barnes.Keep talking bout last year all you shannon sharpe ass ? gonna learn.Better pray the warriors get an injury
It go both ways tho. The year before no love no kyrie and it went 6 games and Cleveland was up 2-0. Both narratives matter -
