Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[BIG LEEMELONE]

How was that dumb? Boris Diaw and Leonard had success against Lebron employing that strategy.

Well for one it backfired horribly. I don't really consider 'don't guard him' a viable strategy when you're talking about the best player in the league. LeBron has always been a streak shooter who can catch fire and get as hot as anyone. Might have had limited success but he overplayed his hand mightily. At least give him some kinda resistance and make him think about that shot, but wide tf open?

 

[ill steelo]

I like him a lot. Simmons & Embiid get back, they're gonna be tough all 48 with him leading the 2nd units.

Saric not starting next year?

He's a natural (albeit versatile) 4, that can play some 3.

You could start him there, but he'd think he give you more value off the bench as a 4 leading the 2nd units, with spot mins at the 3.

 

[Proposition Joe]

Still the dumbest thing I've ever seen from popovich. It's one thing to try to take away the drive and force the shot but they were leaving him butt naked and daring him to shoot as if he was rondo

I'm not gon even talk about the end of game 6, lebron and Allen hit 3's off of offensive rebounds because Duncan was not in the game

Me and my girl cussed pop out all night after game 6

How was that dumb? Boris Diaw and Leonard had success against Lebron employing that strategy. What was dumb was Popovich taking Duncan out at the end of game 6. That was one of the biggest coaching errors in the NBA if I ever saw one. And I've seen quite a few in my lifetime.
LeBron beat himself that Finals. Delonte West did more for the Dallas defense than members from the Dallas Mavericks
This is what I mean by MVP given out on a case by case basis. You can never go by raw numbers, because then guys like MJ, LeBron, Kobe and Shaq would've won the award every year.

AI was leading a team that was unexpected to have the year they had. Carried the Sixers on his back and with a bunch of scrubs. He was LeBron before LeBron. Shaq on the other hand had Kobe on his team who was also averaging close to 30ppg.

Statistically Shaq should've won the MVP, but that year belonged to A.I.
Second leading scorer on the team was Theo Ratliff at 13ppg. Mutombo and McKie respectively follows.

So we're gonna act like that 76ers team wasn't one of the greatest defensive and rebounding teams we ever seen?

Best SG in the league.

Change your name to Beals Nuts then.

You ALWAYS go under on LeBron and force him to score from the perimeter. It's considered a victory on defense if he's shooting from out there. The smart money will tell you he'll beat himself that way. LeBron knows this as well.

He may be 40% this season, but he's never had the consistency to do it for a prolonged period of time, especially in a 7-game series.

this season would count as a prolonged period of time no?
he also has shot 40% before in a season
and he torched the spurs in 2013
and i think he shot 60% from 3 in 2014

Otto Hodges should have never been compared to faux superstar George in the first place.

"Faux superstar George"

Are you referring to the Black Version of Gordon Hayward in Indiana?

Actually, Gordon Hayward is having a better season that Paul George.....and is clearly the better player than this year.

PG13= Midwest Rudy Gay
