Stanley Johnson vs LeBron - "I wish he would just talk when [the game] is 0-0, not when he's up 16."

[SchoolboyC]

I just rewatched this game this morning...

LeBron was staring down Stanley and talking shyt to him while the Cavaliers were down in the first quarter, he routinely shytted on Stanley throughout the game both playing wise and also just pushing him around and bullying him. I'm not sure exactly what Stanley is talking about, and I'm not sure what he's done that has so many posters in here so happy/confident about him outside of him not simply backing down, I guess.

Obviously he can't compare to LeBron as a player, but he's not backing down and I respect that

The Pistons aren't gonna win this series regardless so I'm just hoping the shyt talking leads to fukkery on the court

won't be talkin that dumb shyt in a min tho you bum ass nikkas on notice

nikka don't quote me all angry and shyt. Blame ya mans for bringing up something irrelevant to this thread.

I'm by no means a Bron fan, but c'mon......
Bron is clearly destroying this nikka....
Him not backing down ain't stopping them L's from piling up..
I respect his attitude, but why talk shyt to a nikka who is killing you and ain't even really trying
Also.....can we get a smilie of this.....

Its playoff basketball, I said the same thing about Memphis. If you cant out-talent a team you might as well turn it into a street fight and see what happens. Obviously not a literal street fight, but back down to the wall you gotta have guys willing to take a tech and/or suspension for the team.

Yes take the tech and a flagrant which can lead to a suspension. But not actually swinging on kats like the other poster said.

The thing is to beat a faster more talented and mobile team many less talented teams resort to physical play and to muddy up the game.

But I don't believe this works with the Cavs because they actually like to play this way and are maybe the best combination of talent and physical play that Lebron has ever been on.

Also those videos of the heat were retaliation plays from the heat because the less talented and bigger pacers tried to muddy up the game and be physical. So the heat gave what they took and suddenly the rabbit had the gun as haslem mentioned in that series.

down 0-2.....it doesn't hurt to talk trash at this point.

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Stanley not good enough to make these statements. U got to do it in this league for years. LeBron will drop 50 on. Bums like this

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Bron wouldnt pull that bump shyt on Winslow.

Bron drop 50 on everyone

 

[Roadie pipeher]

the funny thing in all of this..that its the tiny bump , for a squad that wants to play physical as their trademark, a tiny bump is your rallying cry?

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Sounds like LeBron and the Cavs bench are actually in HIS head.

Basically.

The Cavs are up 2-0 and LeBron has been eating. They sound like they're just salty and all of this should have been said after Game 1, not now after Game 2.

@ u nikkaz.

So i guess if a nikka scored 30 on me, i can negate it by just talkin shyt

Stanley Johnson needs to stfu.

He should be sittin at the postgame interview like

 

[MikelArteta]

Bron is a top 3 player in the league has been to 5 straight finals, has two rings, a bunch of MVP awards, but some rookie scrub who will be lucky to have a 10 year NBA career is talking

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

They just dislike LeBron so they'll prop anyone up when they talk shyt to him.

Basically you don't gotta back down from NOBODY. But saying you're in someone's head when they lighting you up in pure stupidity

 

[thekidvoodoo]

Points for Morris pretending he didn't get a stare down when he tried to play off lebron past the three point line and Bron sunk a "fukk you, your crew and your whole set up" three.

 

[TheNig]

Who do you idiots think is the one leading his team to get these leads though?

Actually they were down in the first by 10 when LeBron left the game. Kyrie and JR closed it to one. 2nd qtr JR was having a JR type of night and LeBron fed off of that.

When he did the one dunk where he came thru the lane and yammed that bytch down Johnson's neck, I didn't trip. It was all the extra shyt in the 3rd qtr that was annoying. He didn't create the energy at all. He just kinda fed off of Kyrie and JR.

Stanimal the most fearless dude in the league and only 19 years old

Seeing lebron really trying to figure out how to beat stan off the post when he usually is railroading nikkas speaks volumes more than anything. Having to make some of the shots he made on Stan shows the greatness of Lebron but he really shouldnt be working this hard to make those shots.

Dudes in here with the "bu bu he went 12-17" are yall watching this matchup? Hes working for his. A 19 year old should NOT be making him work this hard.

Keep this basic level thinking if you want but the heat and raptors fans in this thread are shook of the Pistons future its clear as day.
