pubic works project posted:One of the things that makes me laugh about the whole PG situation is that he's leaving a franchise that was run by one idiot (Larry Bird) for another (Magic Johnson). I will enjoy it when Magic fucks the Lakers up and they never get higher than 8th in the West. Like just go somewhere cool, PG. Go to Houston or Boston. Play with some good rear end players that are not named D'Angelo Russell or Brandon Ingram. Boston is not, never has been, and never will be cool.

Catching up on the last 30+ pages...pubic works project posted:Well what's the one better for Cle? TT for PG or Love? Wouldn't Love have to play the 5 if they ship off TT? The Cavaliers NEED to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo and Rudy Gobert STAT. Then they can lose in the 2018 finals with dignity. Eltoasto posted:Love has been absolute garbage against the Warriors the last 2 years... He was very bad in 2016 but this finals he was basically average. EvanTH posted:He was the second or third best player on the Cavs last year when they beat the Warriors! He's 1-1 in serieses against the Warriors how is that absolute garbage!!! Look at his 2016 finals game logs. They're awful. EvanTH posted:Also I was thinking about that BruhReport LeBron > Jordan rant and the part where the ranting dude accidentally calls Michael Jordan "Michael Jackson" and how it was a sensible mistake because back then Magic Johnson Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson were working on some kinda convergent path, and Jordan's Marketing was so far beyond LeBron's marketing it's not even a discussion Also, Marques Johnson is completely forgotten despite being an elite player.

Punkin Spunkin posted:My favorite Paul George thing was always seeing that dumb Gatorade/whatever drink commercial during the playoffs while the pacers were totally eliminated and he wasn't doing anything noteworthy Yea, eliminated for 2+ months and still playing his odd commercials. Ammanas posted:If you could threaten Andre Drummond with being sent to a D-league team unless he shoots Yes. DeimosRising posted:It's interesting seeing the canonization of Lebron James in real time. Suddenly he's this Jordanesque mythic figure, who loses on purpose, his bad teams are secretly good, never struggles or loses in the playoffs unless faced with a miraculous super team, and so on. He's earned it. He's fulfilling his destiny and racking up the accolades toward possibly being confirmed as the undisputed GOAT in seven or eight years (if he remains healthy). He's beyond Jordan in most respects at this point. There's nothing mythic about it either. We have 100% of the game footage. We have tons of extremely detailed stats. Contrasting a little with Wilt where we don't have full box scores and all the game footage. LBJ was bestowed with kingly honors before even stepping onto an NBA court. Imagine the pressure. Seven straight finals appearances with two different franchises and still you doubt. Also, LBJ has shaved his head. Nobody else in NBA history could probably pull off what he's done. He's coming off his greatest finals performance too. ex post facho posted:i meant in terms of relegation of clearly less competitive teams to their own "G league", i mean as everyone's talking about why waste everyone's time with the facade of a competitive league when (apparently) parity isn't important in the NBA? Parity doesn't exist in the MLB, NHL or NFL either.

Femur posted:why would you attack NOL seafood when sf has the same crap but 10x more expensive. those wharf prices were disgusting. predicto posted:Hot Tip - Fisherman's Wharf has no purpose other than rooking tourists. SF is chock full of amazing food, but none of it is found at the Wharf, and people who live in SF literally never go to the Wharf ever, unless they are taking Grandma down to catch the ferry to Alcatraz (Alcatraz rocks - Alcatraz and the awesome Musee Mechanique (http://www.museemecaniquesf.com/) are the only reason ever to go near the Wharf). I liked how some scientists did some DNA tests on fish in many restaurants and found that all the restaurants were lying but no connoisseur would know the difference. They don't know they're eating the cheap swai fish. EvanTH posted:Same era a bunch of local Moms organized to have me kicked out of preschool because they figured every hemophiliac had AIDS like Ryan White (and for the most part we did thanks Bayer but still wtf I ain't never been HIV+ and even if I was I probably wasn't going to gently caress the other kids) New thread title candidate. DeimosRising posted:The point is he's not some transcendent superhuman who can't lose. He loses all the time. Nobody ever went that far. DeimosRising posted:He struggled, with better teams by far than this Cavs team, against the Paul George/Roy Hibbert Pacers and the Big 3 Celtics at a stage when they were actually visibly decaying into animated skeletons on the court. He lost to a Dallas team no one gave a shot to, but in retrospect they were either really good and we all knew that or they only won because Lebron tricked himself into losing by being the bad guy but his love of justice is so great he can't let villains win??? LBJ is not a deity or a demigod. He lost to a fully qualified title contender in 2011. The media were confused that year and did not pay attention to the numbers very much. LBJ sometimes throws a game for kicks though. EMC posted:Is it just me or has PG gone from underrated earlier in his career to fairly overrated now? Maybe it is more an aesthetic thing for me because I kind of hate watching him play compared to a heap of other wings By the numbers always overrated.

Fisherman's Wharf has really bad clam chowder, which I don't understand how you gently caress up. Even Cambells in a toasted bread bowl will get a C grade from me. I'll find any reason to crap on SF like a hobo but I'll give them a break on wharf related criticism 7 times out of 10 I'm in SF to meet some out of towners who are going there the first time so 7 out of 10 times I'm eating at some poo poo place on the wharf. I went to some poo poo pizza buffet on the wharf one time and died a little inside Avoid the loving wharf please. WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Jun 19, 2017 |

Ammanas posted:You know if it weren't for the cavaliers going nuclear/being gifted 22 free throws in 11 minutes we would all be looking at this finals entirely differently. Over time I think the 2017 warriors win will be viewed as essentially inevitable That's true for many. But I take referee manipulation into account as well (favoring the underdog team). LBJ is so versatile that he has a big advantage there in that he can change his game on the fly like nobody else in NBA history. It can be very advantageous in close games. e.g. Imagine IT or Fultz doing G7 chase down blocks. Imagine IT or Fultz shutting down 99.9% of players on the court (excluding KD). It's pure fiction. Most here knew (in the last off-season poll) what was destined to happen: code:DeimosRising posted:I have no idea what you're talking about with the Olympics, Lebron got bronze that year because he had a dumb coach and bad roster composition, I don't know how that supports the notion that putting together a good team won't beat the Cavs? Because the notion that one can combine good players like an alchemist and defeat LBJ (or another elite player with a cohesive unit) is not always true. This team beat the USA team: Carlos Delfino Gabriel Fernández Emanuel Ginóbili Leonardo Gutiérrez Walter Herrmann Alejandro Montecchia Andrés Nocioni Fabricio Oberto Juan Ignacio Sánchez Luis Scola Hugo Sconochini Rubén Wolkowyski This team finished better than the USA team: Roberto Chiacig Luca Garri Denis Marconato Giacomo Galanda Nikola Radulović Alex Righetti Matteo Soragna Gianluca Basile Massimo Bulleri Gianmarco Pozzecco Michele Mian Rodolfo Rombaldoni Throwing random players together doesn't always work: Allen Iverson Stephon Marbury Dwyane Wade Carlos Boozer Carmelo Anthony LeBron James Emeka Okafor Shawn Marion Amar'e Stoudemire Tim Duncan Lamar Odom Richard Jefferson Noctone posted:lol five games is like "yeah we don't really care about drugs but we have to pretend like we do" It does seem pretty weak. euphronius posted:Really? I think the NBA could add 5 or 6 more teams . The talent level is insane right now. Yes, the population pool to draw from is so large now that the NBA could expand if it wanted to.

I remember him being hyped up as a potential all time great when he was in high school. That would crush most people. Zogo posted:That's true for many.

Shows the value of a coach that isn't dumb enough to try to make statements by taking minutes away from some of the better players on the team. Shades of Butch Van Breda Kolff.
