Rondo always keeping it real.

Missed an opportunity to highlight and congratulate LeBron?

ESPN did nothing but nuthug LeBron last night.

Nurkic rolling around like he'd been shot then acts like a tough guy by headbutting George.

Truly one of the all time posts

 

[SunGirl89]

for big guys, ballers sure do go batshit crazy over a little contact

when you see them them and soccer players bitch and moan about being touched, it makes me respect those that play actual contact sports even more

Is it too early to start feeling sorry for the Lakers?


*thinking*


Yes, yes it is.

Yes, yes it is.

I eagerly await their exhibition game in the Bahamas

The Lakers not making the playoffs is crazy!

Turns out the West is more difficult than the East.

Well thats not true lol

We pick on curry every single time we play more than any other player

As the playoff series went on, you started doing it a lot less vs Curry and more against Bell/Looney/etc, as you were having more success against them.

Nope, curry still got targeted. He couldn't stay infront of harden or cp3. He isnt a good onball defender at all.

As the series went on he got targeted less (maybe partly because Paul went down). Not only did it feel that way, but the numbers back it up. Of course I can't find the article that I read it in last year

Isolating Curry hasn't shown any benefit in the past. A bunch of numbers (including ones I've given in this thread) shows Curry is good in isolation.

In most cases it actually takes a team away from their offense and is counter-productive (excluding Houston of course, as that is their offense).

I have no doubt that it will happen again if Houston meet the Warriors, but mainly because when the Warriors run with Green, Iggy, Thompson, Durant and Curry, then Curry is your best bet. Not that Curry's bad, he's just not as good as those other guys.

Something bad must have happened to LeBron.
