Don't care who wins as I am a LeBron fan, but it did make me a lil pissed that GS won G2 tho

Anyone but GS! Will LeBron stick around the circus show in L.A. or go somewhere else? Who's gonna join him next season if he stays?

No major star is joining Lebron except maybe Anthony Davis, and that probably won't happen until year after next when he's a free agent. Lebron is too ball dominant, no longer plays defense, and anyone who joins him will be the scapegoat whenever things go bad.

Why is Toronto in the NBA? They are not a city in the USA.

The NBA is a worldwide sport, just like the NFL is

Injuries are really hurting them. Klay is back tomorrow night. We’ll see if he’s healthy. That’ll help. But if it’s playing without KD, Klay, and Looney, and with a crippled Cousins, then sure, they’re going to get beat, though Steph nearly pulled it off anyway.

What do you have against GS? I think they play an incredibly attractive style of basketball. Very flowing, very beautiful offensively.

And, yeah, LBJ is going to stick around LA. At least one more year. My guess is Davis goes elsewhere. Not sure who will go to LAL. Not sure much of anybody wants to be his second banana.

Color me shocked.

TOR has NO EXCUSES because they have 3 chances to win 1 game. GS earned this championship if they find a way to come back all things considered...

Oh, and if Kyrie is smart, he'll go to LA and be LeBron's sidekick / co-star because BOS don't like him and in his heart of hearts, he knows he fucked up because he couldn't appreciate the good thing he and Bron had in CLE

LA isn’t going to offer Kylie a contract. He’s not going to have the option of going to LAL. LeBron wants new scrubs.

Nah LeBron all about winning, the biggest critique is he doesn't take shit MORE personal so him and Kyrie could work...LAL was gonna give NO anybody not named LeBron before they fucked that up and Dell Demps finally got fired

Kyrie idolizes Kobe, knows he fucked up with LeBron, highly unlikely he does or is successful as a solo act again without a decent cast...Kyrie + Bron without having to give up anything?

C'mon man...

LuvHerMadlyEverytime · 06-09-2019, 11:01 AM

So if Toronto wins one more, it's over?

Kyrie is overrated. Surely LAL can do better than him. Their first option is Davis. I don't see LBJ wanting to play with Durrant or Durrant wanting to put up with LBJ's shit. KD knows he's the best player in the NBA and won't take directions from LBJ. LBJ may know KD is the best player in the NBA now and doesn't want to let everybody know it.

They'll make a run at Klay, but that's not happening. He's staying in GS.

Then I think they'll go for two or three less than max contracts. Maybe Kevon Looney, Pat Beverly, and Danny Green?

Kyrie isn't overrated, because outside of Steph, Russ or Dame, name me a PG under 30 that's better...

Klay, if he's smart, will stay in GS because he won't find a better situation, plus if the $ is +/- $30M, it makes no sense to leave because whatever $ he would "leave on the table" can be made up in smart business moves off the court.

Depending on what happens tomorrow night / the series, I think Danny Green stays in TOR

I say LAL's FA list should look like this

1a) go get AD
1b) gauge Kyrie interest
2) Kemba
3) draft a stretch 4/5

TexTushHog · 06-10-2019, 01:20 AM

Ranking PG’s. NBA doesn’t have many elite PG’s now, sad to say. Steph, Westbrook, Trey Young, Kyle Lowery, D’Angelo Russell above him. I suspect all have higher assists, A/48, and A/TO numbers, all of which would be my primary measuring sticks fir a PG. Lillard and Harden, too, though I’m not crazy about scoring dominant PG’s who don’t do much to facilitate the overall offense.

I Kemba is another overrated player. Putting up big numbers on a bad team.

Yes sir, I can't wait!

KD is expected to play tonight, if they lose with him playing, it will be double sweet

Steph whines and flops every other shot he takes. Klay Thompson can’t take a shot without pushing off. And then they all whine like babies every time they get called for a foul.
