Watch the Warriors come back and win this.
2015 NBA Playoffs
- Thread starter spycam1
- Start date
Harrison Barnes isn't winning me over here, though the whole Warriors team seems out to lunch.
Eastern conference was very tough in MJ's era. MJ went through celtics & pistons. and then battled against tough teams like knicks and pacers. and many borderline teams like cavs, heat, hawks, etc were not an easy out too. and remember 90's had big tough guys in the middle. so, imagine bron struggling to shoot and he has to take it to the hoop - it sure won't be as easy as taking it to hordford less hawks.
talent gap between MJ and bron? there aren't much. you can even say bron is a better overall talent. but being the best at basketball? IMO, there is a clear difference between MJ and the other greats. i really believe if MJ didn't play baseball he would've easily had 7 championships maybe even 8. and if the band didn't break up in 98? Bulls could've easily won again in that short season of 99. i really doubt duncan & drob would've beaten the bulls.
and IMO scoring is important in the playoffs - much more so than the regular season. it far outweighs everything else especially if shooting % is high. scoring 40pts in 40 shots are bad. it can actually hurt the team. but if you look at MJ's scoring, he usually shoots very high % when he scores 40+ because he is feeling it.
and just take a look around. 40+ pt game stands out in the playoffs because it doesn't happen often. 50pts? even more rare. there were only 5 50+pts playoff performance since MJ retired from the bulls.
i know bron's game is not about scoring, but he is shooting .424%. and that hurts his case alot. he really is struggling from the field against a mediocre competition. so it really is going through a worst shooting slump of his career.
man all these injurys suck. hope curry is ok
Warriors have it under 10. Rockets better keep playing.
I remembered Steph's wife being cute...

Oh ok.. haha... I thought she enjoyed too much of what the good life had to offer.

Howard should be suspended for 3+ games. Ones for the 4th flagrant of the playoffs and 2+ for a blatant elbow to Bogut's face.
Nah, Bogut deserves some elbows to teh face.

What kind of double standard is going on by these refs??? You're going to tell me that Horfords foul yesterday was a flagrant 2 and an ejection, while Howard's wild swing/punch/elbow to the head that connected tonight.....is just a flagrant 1??? The only thing I can figure out is they talked to the 3 ref dummies before the game tonight and told them to go light on star players if they have to make a decision on flagrant fouls! Howards flagrant foul tonight was 5 times more egregious than Horfords and will, once again, be the topic of sports shows tomorrow! Can't believe Curry didn't break his neck, get paralyzed, or at least get a concussion with that out of control, reckless abandon attempt at blocking a shot! Kerr needs to sit him down and tell him: "Don't ever try something that stupid again! We need you on offense far more than your feeble attempt at blocking a shot!"

Whatever. It has always been that way, whenever LBJ teams win it is because he is great, whenever they lose it is because coach sucks. You probably think Corbin would take this Cavs team with all the injuries and issues they had to where they are huh? Give credit where its due - Blatt is coaching 1st year in NBA and is about to take LBJ and bunch of scrubs to finals.

Bogut was mugging Howard before he retaliated, and because the refs failed to call a foul on Bogut, which they should have, they only gave Howard a Flagrant 1 to compensate -- at least that's the only thing that makes sense to me, because it was an obvious flagrant 2.
