...but according to the "experts" he just needs to find his "rhythm", get in the "flow" of things, find his "stroke", and just keep.....SHOOTING! No, I agree with you, fishonjazz! The shots the Warriors are taking, for the most part, are very LOW percentage shots that have NO BUSINESS going in....and generally, don't! And that applies to EVERYONE on that team! And by the way, everyone is complaining about the "no call" when Lebron plowed into Curry, but if Curry would have just PICKED up his dribble instead of trying that fancy "behind the back" stuff he does all the time, there would have been no turnover and the call would have been made immediately as a foul! When he went behind his back with the dribble, it became a "loose ball" and that's why no foul was called! At least that's the why I saw it! How about you guys?

This totally .. it's really interesting finding out who's overrated and who steps up come pressure time. Iguodala has proved to be a far superior player.. heck even David Lee might be better. Green has been found wanting big time .. Same with Barnes.

Awesomeness
I had the Cavs winning it all since Day 1. (Second page of this thread)
The Warriors don't have the personnel to beat the Cavs inside. The 3 point shot has to be a main weapon of theirs - the problem is they can't generate good looks from 3 because the Cavs are trapping Curry and Thompson on every PnR and leaving the screener (Green/Bogut) completely alone. Green and Bogut aren't scoring threats, so the Cavs are getting away with it.
David Lee seems to be the solution for that problem - especially since the Cavs no longer have Kyrie Irving to abuse him in PnR on the other end.

But why do you hate him?
I don't understand the random hate people have for other people. Specifically famous athletes.
Who cares if someone has some swag on the court. He just enjoying the game in his own way. It's not hurting anyone. The guy is actually pretty good too. He has done some amazing and entertaining things on the court.

Hate is a strong word. Dislike, despise, repulsive would be the more correct assessment of what I feel toward guys like Rodman, J.R. Smith, etc. The initial dislike for those guys is "appearance". I find there appearance to be repulsive to my senses!
Re·pul·sive: revolting, disgusting, abhorrent, repellent, repugnant, offensive, objectionable, vile, foul, nasty, loathsome, sickening, nauseating, detestable, execrable, abominable, monstrous, noxious, horrendous, awful, terrible, dreadful, frightful, obnoxious, unsavory, unpleasant, disagreeable, distasteful; ugly, hideous, grotesque.
Why do some feel this way about guys like Rodman, J.R. Smith, Iverson, etc? Probably has to do with upbringing where the emphasis was on "decency?"
"Appropriateness, civility, correctness, courtesy, decorum, etiquette, good form, good manners, modesty, propriety, respectability, seemliness"
And since "decency" trumps "leniency" and "tolerance" ....that's the way some of us feel.

Personally, I don't like J.R. Smith's game nor did I like Iverson's game...as they were not unselfish players with high basketball IQ's! Rodman played unselfishly, however, his repulsive appearance was just too much for me to take or stomach! Actually, it's true of many NBA players, that although they may be nice guys on and off the court (I say that tongue in cheek) there appearance with all the puncture wounds with ink poured into them makes it hard for me to accept as decent people. Others, it does not bother them. It bothers me.

I find it incredible that someone could claim "decency" is so incredibly important to them and then talk about people from other backgrounds the way you do. I guess we have completely different definitions of decency.

In what way do I talk about "people from other backgrounds" in a bad way? "Backgrounds" meaning what? Certainly not race or country!

It's posts like this that make me like LeBron all the more. Could be the best to ever play the game when all is said and done, and no ammount of hatred can deny the greatness. Prepare yourself for the bitterest of pills.

It's amazing to me that you could ask this question. Read 90% of your own posts. You say all sorts of bad things about people who do not conform to your image of how they should be.
