NBA discussion thread

OK, maybe now LeBron will have the balls to do it again. That's one... come on, son... show me that again.

F*ck Lebron.

Orlando lost a heartbreaker

LECLUTCH!

With as much as Lebron is hyped, they can talk shit on him until he gets 6 titles like Jordan did. Not necessarily Lebron's fault, but oh well.

Sometimes all you need is a second. That's all it took.

Would've been huge to take this game, but regardless, to come back in a huge deficit at Cleveland and have it down to a second with the lead says a lot.

I'm still confident in the Magic to take his series.

It was a great game, with a sour ending for me, but what the Magic should take from this is that they can take the Cavs to the limit and win in their house.

Now they go into Orlando where the Magic have been very successful against Lebron and company.

I'm excited.

The Cavs just saved themselves from an almost guaranteed loss of the series, which would have been the case if they went down by 2.

Just like the Nuggets/LAL game, the Cavs needed this win, while it would have been great for the Magic to when, it doesn't really hurt them.

Just an overall statement. People always hate on the best generally teams but in the NBA its more players. There were people giving him crap for not taking the shot in game 1 when he made the right move to pass, now he takes a sick shot and wins it when there is no time for anything else. And to the guy who said its just 1 game, I believe he has also only let his team lose 1 game this playoff series. He has done a lot more than just 1 shot in 1 game. And no I am not a big Cavs fan or anything, in fact I mostly think the NBA is a joke but Lebron is with a doubt an all time great talent.

Like the Celtics for example?

And i'm not talking about in '09. I'm talking about like during the year they won the NBA Championship, -last year basically- ('07-'08) And the hate still went on into the '08-'09 season.

So I get what you're saying..

And this has what to do with your statement?

The fact that saying "it is just 1 shot" is stupid.

It was just one shot, that's what we were talking about, one shot in one game. We were not talking about anything else he did in the playoffs.

You may not think it is stupid if you are able to comprehend the discussion.

Anthony Carter should be forbidden from all inbound passes for the rest of his career.

Kenyon Martin now, too.

Ariza really closed it with that steal on the inbound, again.

Big win for the Lakers.

Lakers win 103-97 😊

Kobe scores 41 points(a three in that *****'s face(Smith), Pau 20 and 10+ and a key steal by Trevor(2 big 3s also)

Great win for the Lakers

Man that was a gutsy win on the road, we were 2nd best for the first 3 quarters. The 4th quarter was really encouraging, hustling for boards and diving for lose balls. Thats the kind of thing i was hoping to see from us all game but its only the results that matter at this stage of the season.
Phil has got to get Fish out of there though, no reason for him to be playing so many minutes. If he was doing his job and just spotting up for open jumpers i wouldn't mind but he cant guard anyone and his drives to the hoop always end in disaster. Shannon and Farmar are playing well but still only get used in spot minutes, i cant make any sense of it but it could easily come back to haunt us later. Sasha needs to be glued to the bench to, he is shooting bricks and not even looking to make plays for others.
I love the character we showed down the stretch but i have to wonder how this series would look if we played with Denver's intensity and made our free throws. Next game, dont be satisfied with just getting one on the road. If we can take the next one i believe we can close this out at home, dont let Denver come up for air.

Fisher's minutes need to be cut down.

^^True true friends

So do Sasha's. Everytime Fish drives it's either a missed layup or an offensive foul. Sasha serves no purpose on the court when he can't hit shots and fould one second into the 4th, 80 ft away from the basket. Shannon Brown should start.
