Series Thread: NBA Finals: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

[tlance]

I think AD and James deserved co-MVP's.....well at least AD is still young enough to get his own once James retires and they build around the 'Brow.

AD had a couple no-show games.

What LeBron did in the losses actually cemented him. He was far more consistent throughout the series.

I think AD would tell you that also.

 

[tlance]

Bullshit. Not yet.

AD is the better scorer (he has a 3 point shot), better ballhandler and passer, and I think he's a better defender.....

AD is not a better ball handler and passer than Giannis.

He is a better shooter.

The fact that Laker fans can legitimately say that winning 1 title isn’t that meaningful in Laker lore literally makes me sick to my stomach.

I hate you all!

Not all fans say that kinda shit.

To be fair to Jimmy, he was having to do it with guys like Lebron and AD on him and just about everyone the Lakers threw at him was bigger than him. Lebron never had to face Lebron and AD and a bunch of other guys who are bigger than him.

True. Well who is bigger than Lebron? Not many. I would say Iggy, Draymond and KD aren't bad options to defend Lebron.

I think if you swap AD for Giannis.....the Bucks would have made it to the ECF at least and maybe even the Finals.....AD's ability to score from the perimeter would have helped them a lot. And he's a great passer and would have found the open man when doubled. And his defense.

I don’t.

That team was built around Giannis’ ability to create. Davis can’t do that like Giannis can.

Don’t think the Bucks would have won anywhere near as many games with AD as their best player. And a 2nd round playoff exit would surely follow.

Lulz.

They left Quinn Cook at the arena.

those... We're some horrible days...

In a normal year I think tipoff would be about a week away...do hope it doesn't go too far past the New year.

Of course, the Browns can hold our attention for a while I think.

Yeah tipoff would be right around the corner if things weren't so messed up right now. Got to watch the game out here yesterday. Hoping the Browns/steelers will be televised. But I'm not counting on it.

They needed both but they needed the role players, Vogel, etc. Without Lebron none of this is possible. He was the clear MVP imo. Lebron has shown he can carry a team...AD at times but not close to the level of Lebron, I mean AD barely got to the playoffs at times.

He hasn’t been around “more recently”. He tends to disappear when he’s utterly wrong.

OK, but he did make playoff predictions and they mirrored many of us. And you just posted about 8-9 things you think he was wrong about and he was actually right about 5-6. You are kind of doing what he is accused of (and he should be accused of this)......you have an agenda and you stick to it no matter what. In your case it is wiggy and not a player.

Before you reply with the all I do is stick up for him I have called him out on many topics....especially his thoughts on butler.

You are in Colorado, right? Yeah, no such luck. Den/NE going at same time.

So what was he right about then? Amuse me.

Retire this man's jersey!

And bring him back for 1 more season so he can officially retire a Laker. He's earned it.

 

[DJ]

Fans were partying outside Staples Center last night.....

 

[trojanfan12]

Cmon man!

This is why people like me get so frustrated with Laker fans!

You just hung banner #17 and you had to wait 10 years between titles, which is an eternity in Lakerland.

Well, I have been waiting my whole damn life and I might never see it!

The fact that Laker fans can legitimately say that winning 1 title isn’t that meaningful in Laker lore literally makes me sick to my stomach.

I hate you all!

You could always become a Lakers fan. We're an open and accepting group. Heck, we even let TLF be a Lakers fan.

lol

You realize AD was a point guard before his growth spurt, right?

This.
