NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

Cavs will probably win in five but they are displaying a weakness now that IT is out. Boston is relying on everyone and no one. Spreading the ball around. And Cavs defense can't keep up. Hoping the Warriors ball movement destroys them.

EDIT: Kyrie. Goddamn.

It has to be frustrating to be completely incapable of watching a game with zero objectivity.

It was more a statement of the fact he has never had 4 fouls in a half in his entire NBA career...

You didn't word it like that at all.

I said 4 fouls on LeBron is laughable. Which it was because it had never happened in over 1200 games.

Yeah, usually he gets babied a lot more than that.

That was a hell of a nice pass on that missed dunk. Love's a master of the deep throw.

I think watching Lebron constantly work the refs triggers me more than anything else in sports.

There was one sequence tonight where he ran up to the ref after contact while the ball was still live and the Celtics were running back on offense. The ref actually stopped to talk to Lebron instead of keeping up with the play, then when he realized he needed to get to the other side of the court to do his job, he tripped over some land whale who had gotten up from her seat on the sidelines and almost hit the deck. Pretty funny.

Love's outlet passes are really good.

Good thing the alpha on the team, Kyrie, stepped up and won the game for them

Just like he did Game 7 last year in the Finals.

Jefferson: LeBron was sick in Game 3 loss

So Lebron was under the weather in Game 3. Couldn't play well because of it.

LeBron never said he was sick.

Also I was at the flu game, I never believed all the hype because such a huge deal was made about it before tip off. I'm sure he was sick, but I also know all the mental games the guy played. There was too much of a difference between how he looked on the floor and how he looked on the bench lol.

Jordan is Jordan though.

Tyronn Lue says the Warriors are easier to defend than the Celtics. Good thing [for the Cavs] LeBron is the one that really coaches that team.

I never said that Lebron said he was sick. The link even clearly states Jefferson said he was sick.

I'm sure Jordan was in much worse shape than Lebron was in Game 3. Still owned it. You could see every stoppage how exhausted Jordan was.

43 points in a quarter lul.

LeBron all time leading playoff scorer. Needed 33 more games than MJ but less than Kareem and Kobe not bad for a pass first guy imo.

LeBron also did it on less FGA than MJ so he is a much more efficient scorer.

Needs 2 more 3s to pass Miller for 2nd most all time made 3s in the playoffs. Still far away from Ray in that category though.

The Celtics have quite the home court advantage.

This Finals.
