Cavs in 6 jor

Donlittle:
Golden state losses tonight, and I gotta delete my page. I am not sitting for this slander.

Lol. just permit me to tag Mynd here to ban you for a month if you refuse to do so if Cavs win

chic2pimp:


Absolutely!....You know what they say, If you haven't got "Haters/Distractors", you need to step up your game. You aren't doing well enough. It's the same in all works of life. From Ronaldo to Bill gates haters dey plenty.

One thing is for sure though, He has lived up to the hype. I going to the states on Holiday as a young lad in 2001 and my cousins were telling me about a 15/16 year old kid set to be the next big thing. I simply shrugged and laughed because I heard it all before. Guess what 15+ years later, I ain't laughing anymore.

This right here is the gospel truth. With the trials and trubulation he had to face, he really started from the bottom.

His documentary film “More Than a Game" explains more of your second line. That Ronaldo you mentioned made me my soccer team will be playing their final on Saturday. I should be prepared for the rest of this week.

Decale:

You're the only real Cavs fan here. No mind those faint hearted unbelievers
Because of this, let me talk to my babalawo.

This finals don make everyone turn visionary. Abeg follow the baba yarn

Donlittle:
mam you are wrong, i say cavs in 3.

God go shame you . LeBron will get his 4th ring

birdman:


my sister, i wish i had your faith. but i say ameeeeeeen!!!

At this point, can the powerhouse Warriors be able to bounce back from last year's devastating championship defeats at the hands of the Cavs, or the Cavs will continue to dominate the Warriors? If we go by the stats, clearly the Warriors have the slight edge getting the ring. But i will pick the Cavs to win it, simply because Lebron James and Kyrie Irving are two unstoppable players when the stake is higher.

Cavs in 6.

chic2pimp:


I love you confidence though even if slightly misplaced ....Btw I'm sure you've heard about Lebron's house being vandalized by racist thugs. My respect for the Man just shot through the roof(I didn't think it could get any higher). The NBA sure would miss Him when He retires. He has been an Exemplary Role Model.

He'll be a grand person who would be viewed by all as having some ultimate traits and humility toward the human race when he retires. why he still gets all the hate is a riddle i can't seem to solve

chic2pimp:


How una go take do am this time round ehn? .....I can't see it myself tbh

Cavs in 5 or 6. This isn't an incomplete blazer, jazz or Spurs.

Manutd19:



I will never understand why people think this warriors are better to be honest. Cavs match up well with them and can beat them physically as well. Love is playing some of his best game this playoff and I expect LeBron and Kyrie to dominate as usual.

Not that we don't have a chance against them, we match up against them. My major concern is Green, i read somethings about him few days back and watched some of his plays, he's more like the linchpin of everything the Warriors do, he's the main facilitator of the ball in the Warriors half-court offense. Like i said earlier, any headway Love can make against Green would be huge for the Cavs cause he's not floating on defense, he's defending multiple players at one time.

Well. I'll wait and see what the coach will do

birdman:


I was watching First Take, and both Steph A Smith and Max Kellerman predicted warriors winning. As much as I want another ring for LBJ, I have to agree. Barring some superhuman performance from Kyrie, Love and LBJ, I don't think any team in the league can overcome the addition of Durant to the Warriors. Warriors are blowing out even strong teams, even sweeping the Spurs!!! primarily because of that Durant factor. Even games the warriors will normally lose, they are winning - note that no team has beaten them this playoffs

Frankly, it is warriors in 4. I will be watching and ing the cavs, but I just dont see what answer the cavs can cook up for Durant - even if you put LBJ on this dude and ice him, now you have Klay and Curry loose! If cavs win 1, I will be overjoyed

I know the league killed 3 ing Kobe on the Lakers some years back for fear oftoo strong a team. Durant to Warriors is far worse - I think some rules will be put in place to stop this from happening again. . It is one thing to stack your team with good and complimentary players like Kyrie, Love, Korver etc. It is another thing to wholesale imports legit superstars (top 3, top 5) - I think the league will recognize this limit and add restrictions other than salary cap

I'm just worried about LeBron's finals record if he looses this time again. No lies, a team with Kobe,Howard and 3 can't be life threatening as this current Warriors team.

A40:

I recall Lola trying to find out her whereabouts. I guess we have to ask her. Got a lot of people that were active here that don't post here much anymore. Life happens I guess

She's not active on NL. Where can she possibly be

SmooshCHN:
Lolawilliams one time was trying her email. We don't know how far Lola went. Anyone has any update?

A40, Eruditor, Sircumalot, Roland17 I met you guys here. Anyone what's up?

I couldn't get her details o, Sent email messages to people who seem to be close to her here on NL but keep saying they don't have her personal number.

Muna15:



We've got Dallas, Celtics and GSW fans in here and you want me to pick LeBron ahead of those two. Then watch you guys drop epistles to make yourselves happy.

No! Not me!

You can look up some Kobe-LeBron games and decide for yourself.

Dallas fans where. We all know how it goes.

LoJ:
What you guys think?

Who's gonna defend on Durant? It looks like the Cavs got no one competent or free enough to do that. The only who can successfully defend on Durant is Lebron, but the risk of Foul trouble is too high. And Again, he will get exhausted and wont be able to do the scoring and some of the ing as usual.

Love can simply not defend on Durant. Tristan thompson could do, BUT he is the rim protector. He will therefore defend on Zaza and protect the rim. So all I see is...

Kevin Love, who is quite good offensively but defensively...

The issue with GSW is the danger comes from all sides

lolawilliams what ya say?

Sure danger comes from all side for both teams and its obvious the Warriors are more of a defensive team than the Cavs. I feel there would be a lot of trey from the Cavs in this finals

The Cavs are shooting more 3-PPG in the playoffs than the Warriors 33.6 for Cavs Nd 31.3 for Warriirs and they’re making a higher percentage .435 for Cavs .389 for Warriors. This would be useful cause of Green's ability to lockdown an offensive player cause his ability on the defensive end cant be overlooked. Klay and Curry are both good shooter but you know who has been good in this playoffs. Korver has struggled and is only around 41% behind Deron and Shump.

LeBron, Irving,KD and Curry are all unstoppable. As far as offensive basketball goes, they are as good as it gets but in this situation, the Cavs have more fire power

Love- Green- Any headway Love can make against Green would be huge for the Cavs.

LeBron-KD- I dont have a problem here.

Irving-Curry- Irving needs to outplay Curry. Irving must win this matchup for the Cavs to have a chance.

JR-klay- klay number in playoffs has gone down from 24.7 to 14.4 PPG. Though JR has also been bad in playoffs but thats cause Irving and Lebron have been mind blowing and also in the first two series, JR's job was to guard the opponent's top scorer. So this shouldnt be a problem also

Decale, Abeg wetin your baba predict for this finals. A monk here predicted a result i can't even say

Roland17:


I absolutely enjoy rare debates with you because they are respectful, and devoid of emotional tantrums, so yes, it would end in a cool manner as always.

I have to say in some ways, i am now entertaining the argument that Lebron may be the G.O.A.T in modern era in comparison to the "black mamba". His display over the past 2 seasons has elevated the intensity of that conversation in my books.

However, I disagree with your assertion about assists because Jordan's playoff's career APG (Assist per game) is 5.7, while Lebron's is 6.8, that is 1.1 assist more than Jordan. The difference in career assist is not particularly a gulf between both, thus, If Lebron did not make the 1 assist and it is converted to points in his playoff game history, he may achieve Jordan's record with lesser than 33 games.

During his championship seasons, Lebron played with the best. He has always assembled the best players for a championship run and that invariable increases his APG numbers. Quality of offensive players is an important dynamic in the cycle of scoring because good players turn bad es into assists for the er. Today he plays with 2 perennial all stars in Love and Kyrie, and potent perimeter scorers in Korver, D. Williams and others. This increases his chances of stacking up those assist numbers. Do i need to remind you of those he played with in Miami?

So you see, the 1.1 difference in playoff APG is not particularly a gulf if he dynamics of the team and era of both players are considered.

We always have to the dynamics of both era's are quite different. During Jordan's era Low post scoring, mid range jumpers, drive to the baskets, and pure PG ing were considered offense, the 3 point scoring was never prioritized thus Jordan and his peers did not bother improving that skill. In contrast to today's fast paced, transition basketball where 3 point shooting is the prioritized offense for the best teams in the NBA.

When Bron ed the NBA, he did not have the 3 point shooting, however, i credit him for developing that aspect of his game. It does not mean he is a clutch 3 point shooter or the best 3 point shooter in his team, it just means he evolved his game to suit the demands of the current league which ultimately provides him more leverage to score more buckets.

I'm not saying JAmes is better than Mike, its still an illustration that there is a debate worth having. This looks good when breaking it down the APG to James having 1.1APG over jordan. In number, James has 400 more assist than jordan.

You're comparing Jordan's teams after they became a contender in 1990 and LeBron after he left Cleveland. Let's not talk like James started his career in Miami cause you listed Wade, Bosh, Irving and Love, talk about his playoffs years in Cavs were he has had to share shots with another guard-type scorer as opposed to a center, but had no one.

Don't tag black mamba here cause the aurgument has changed to players who had more ing cast. Shaq,Gasol,Bynum,Odom,Artest would get you more rings compared to Bosh,Wade,Irving,Love and Maybe Mo williams. He had the best ing cast than jordan and LeBron.

Lool let me go and listen

Please do

Future, weldone for letting K.dot murder you on your own shiii

Roland17:


First Lady,

Let me give you a different perspective when comparing both.

Jordan achieved 5,987 career playoff points after playing 179 post season games, 33 games fewer than Lebron played. As at today, Lebron has played 212 playoff games.

Jordan played in an era of the best of 3, then best of 5 series, in contrast to Lebron who has played the best of 7 seven series all his career.

Jordan took 2 sabbaticals away from the game, missing 56 potential post season games during his prime.

I am going to spare you the ring argument here.

Okay, seems this argument will end in a cool manner, I don't mean James is better than Jordan with that playoffs point stats, reason why i said "modern era GOAT". it was an illustration that there is debate worth having in that aspect.

You said Jordan achieved 5,987 career playoff points after playing 179 post season games, 33 games fewer than Lebron played. As at today, Lebron has played 212 playoff games

My reasons it took LeBron 33 more games to get 5,987 points
-Lebron lead in playoffs assist in 2007,2013,2015 compared to Jordan who never had any but shot more, Bron was busy sharing the ball.
-Jordan shot more, 25.1 shots per playoffs games compared to LeBron's 20.5

If they attempted same numbers of shot and the same numbers of games. i hope you know Jordan would be a hair behind.

birdman:


agreed im not really a cavs fan. more an lbj fan. but i like most of the guys playing on cavs this year. On the other hand, I love IT, but boy I hate the celtics. dirty *****

lolawilliams abeg show face o

We lose they find something to say. We still win, they find something to say. But i promise to be active during the Finals before they start calling someone who isn't active on Nairaland during the finals a bandwagon, imagine.

Lebron took 4379 playoff shots attempts scoring 5995 points

MJ took 4497 playoff shot attempts scoring 5987 points

LBJ took 118 less shots and ed MJ in scoring

Haters would still bring up the ring talk to discredit him. Best player in the league right now, no doubt

Modern Era GOAT

Adebimpe0:

"If you can't beat them, injure them"- Zaza

Lol. Atleast you should appreciate their playoffs run against injured teams.

aliondo:

A picture of torture..........Coming from an OKC fan.....
#THUNDERUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. He also want his piece of the pie but i don't want it that easy for him.

If you can't beat them, them

Muna15:
I'm glad LeBron's 11-point game is giving haters something else to talk about aside the typical 'Eastern Conference is weak' talks whenever LeBron leads the Cavs to victory. It's also kind of funny how people bring up the Kobe-LeBron comparison without talking about Kobe's numbers in 2004 NBA finals against the Pistons where he had a run of 3 consecutive bad games ( he had 11 in one of those games).

And for the Celtics fans in here, abeg no allow the Warriors give una hope o. The loss was just meant to give you guys some form of consolation after the Game 2 massacre and to allow una open the TD garden on Thursday night for your final basketball game this season.

They bring up the GOAT comparison anytime he dosent step up in a game but refuses to do that anytime he post crazy numbers and keep saying Bron don't have 6 rings

James. 30pts is enough, abeg rest

aliondo:
who is bringing out the beast in lebron??

He just responded with the MVP snub with this performance.
