Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

[unclerukus]

...can't even discuss ball with the few dudes in here that actually know what they're talking about

due to the immense amount of trolling and blatant hatred in here.

much respect to those in here that actually know the game and enjoy watching it

even if you don't like any of the 4 remaining teams. ya'll know who you are.

but trolls have ruined this thread.

this really isn't the place to discuss basketball among men.

i'm not a Lebron fan..my favorite player is the 2-time NBA champ, under recruited Marquette product.

but if you gonna try to discredit this kid when he put up a stat line that hasn't been seen since '86

and not even have a relevant rebuttal you a lame.

this thread is the equivalent of the barbershop...some of ya'll have turned it into a salon.

You claim you know the game yet you're saying he put a stat line that hasn't been seen since 86? I just can't take you serious anymore after hearing that.

Its **** like that that irritates me, the way espn slurps this dude is insane. What I know is that if I need a shot to win the game, LeBron is the last dude on that list that Im picking, and thats not even being disrespectful, the players on that list are all sure-fire HOF'ers.

logic and statistical proof irritates you? noted.[/quote]

Im sorry, my definition of "clutch" is different than yours. Now what I will tell you, is that LeBron is not the clutchest player in the league, and that list says he is. So to call that "proof" logical is illogical.

So do you think Lebron is the clutchest player in the league?

 

[dirtybuhbuhnew]

What about shots that werent under 24 seconds? What about shots where the deficit was within 4 points for the last 2 minutes of a game? The way Espn will twist things to make bron look like the clutchest player in the nba is ridiculous.

how are facts an issue? ESPN showing it the way it is.

 

[duba169]

Who is dressing these people? I honestly feel like its like personal joke being played on the athletes at this point

 

[suberzat1]

So I can drop 40-14-40?


I know it wouldnt be impressive, but I could do it

Lol so that's your fg 3pt and ft percentage. I know u that couldn't be your status Line

 

[do work son]

statistically he shoots the highest percentage in game tying/go ahead FG attempts in the playoffs, with less than 24 seconds in the 4th quarter or OT since he joined the league.

you're arguing your perception and opinion. i'm showing you tangible numbers.

Man I've been saying this for a minute, I think the players are in on it though.

I think they are mocking the dress code.

 

[durantula]

how are facts an issue? ESPN showing it the way it is.

If I know nothing about basketball, I look at that list and think LeBron James is the clutchest player in the NBA. However, I do know about basketball, and I know that there are 4 or 5 more players Id rather have with the ball in their hands on the last play of a game instead of Lebron. Thats the issue.

the same way your twisting things to make bron look like the least clutch player in the NBA?

 

[dirtybuhbuhnew]

Man I've been saying this for a minute, I think the players are in on it though.

Yup. If the dress code was removed, these dudes would go back to dressing like A.I.

And so would the rest of the world

so you'd take Kobe who misses more clutch shots than Lebron who makes more clutch shots?

Stats dont show the whole story, and can be very misleading to the average fan, thats all Im trying to say.

No, but hes not in my top 3, hes prolly around the 5 range when it comes to guys I want to lead my team in the last 2 minutes of a game

Hmmm entirely possible

 

[sooperhooper]

the foot scooting is the killing part. Call that man tony makaveli allen, dude just faked his own death and kept on pushing.

[durantula]

Whats your definition of "clutch shots" If you take out yesterdays game, bron ranks 3rd on that list. My definition of clutch includes closing out games in the 4th, shutting out the other teams hopes of coming back, etc.

I feel what you're saying but to some dudes numbers never lie

At this point me personally, Durant is the best in the clutch

stats aren't misleading you, it's your perception. if you think a statistic isn't telling the whole story, then you're looking at the wrong statistic to make your argument.

Way to deflect criticism from his ******ed decision to take Hibbert out twice.

Coaches don't usually throw each other under the bus. Even if he is correct

 

[durantula]

Your dealing with trolls.

Im not a troll tho, you wont hearing me denying anything about lebrons overall greatness, or physical ability. Hows that rep count coming btw?
