This thread did not age well. :francis:





Idiot casuals out there thinking the NBA keeps score by tracking how often your team makes shots.


Those of us who are really down know it's more like a dunk contest. If you miss a shot, you just get to keep trying over and over, and the score is determined by how awesome-looking and difficult your shot was
.

This and appeal to authority are obviously the only way in which we should evaluate players :troll:

LeBron is a teammate killer, its been known. any player that plays next to lebron will not get their stats.


LeBron is so unselfish and passes so damn much, yet his all-star teammates always drop off in performance,


:jbhmm:

And then we enter the reality where Kyrie had arguably the best stretch of his career with LeBron, where despite the injuries Wade shot a higher % with Bron than ever before, where despite lower usage Bosh shot a higher % with Bron than ever before and added a 3pt-shot and rim-protecting defense to his game, and where Mo Williams made the only all-star game of his career due to LeBron.

The only all-star who played worse with LeBron was Love, and Love has psychological issues and will likely never play well under any sort of pressure no matter who he is playing with.

Casuals stay too dumb to realize that becoming the 2nd or 3rd option to an ATG means that you'll get fewer shots and less usage than when you were the 1st option on your own crap team.

What success Byrie had in Boston? I do recall Boston making it to the ECF without him.. he comes back next season and they get bumped in the second round :mjlol:

He made this thread 10 games into Kyrie's first season with the Celtics, when they were playing well but had already lost to the Cavs team he had left. :mjlol:

I guess, you kind of missed the whole conversation but whatever.

Remember when the team made game 7 without him against the Cavs and he couldn't even bring himself to attend the game and show support? Couldn't watch the team win without him if they would have, and couldn't stomach watching the cavs make the finals after he forced himself out.
:hhh:


That happened for real :picard:
