When The Smoke Clears Will LeBron Join 3-6 Mafia? Cavs vs Warriors IV In The NBA Finals

[24 black mambas]

I see people saying Durant did this whole superteam thing better than Bron did, and saying that he beat Bron at his own game... but wtf did he do “better” than Bron?

LBJ combined 3 all stars from 3 different teams twice to create his teams. These teams were always favored but still unproven since they never played with each other.

But all KD did was join the best team in the league. There was nothing “created”. He just joined the best team when he was a free agent. Nikkas keep acting like there was something special KD did, but what was so special? I suppose it’s special that he adopted a “if I can’t beat them I’ll join them” mentality that is the mark of a coward, but foreal how is that “one-upping” LeBron?

Depends how they upgrade their bench and get a better PF with some post moves cause dray is getting worst every year and cant play that small ball 5 effectively for long. Lets see what the ring chaser market looks like for them this summer

Bron didn't create the Heat superteam either. It was moreso Wade, if you have to attribute it to any one of the three.

Wade got Bosh to agree to sign on to Miami and they still had a bunch of cap space left over. They looked like they were on their way to running through the East for some years. It was after that that Bron decided to join the Heat, probably so he wouldn't be apart of those teams getting ran through.

Draymond is not getting worse...he’s sacrificing so KD is integrated smoothly

If KD left, he’d go back to being a 14-10-8 player w/ ease

Had to hype up the finals I'm on record of saying the wcfs were the real finals

1. I don't know either way. We have what IT said about his experience on the Cavs - he complained specifically about them not practicing - but its not like I've got access to their attendance records and shyt. What I do know is that the Rockets practiced their defense all through the regular season, in regular season games. They treated the regular season as practice for the playoffs, and for their eventual matchup with Golden State. We know that Lebron's Cavs don't care about the regular season off rip - their approach to the regular season is that its an annoyance they have to deal with, and the goal is to just get enough wins to make the playoffs. Recall all the talk about the Cavs "flipping the switch" and "taking things seriously" come playoff time - that's what that commentary was referring to. Of course, the problem is, if you really want to build an elite defense, you can't do that - you need to build those habits through the regular season in order to really be effective defensively come playoff time.

2. I really do think having CP3 in games 6 and 7 would have won the Rockets that series. Note all my focus on defense - Morey (GM of the Rockets) is a smart guy, he's aware of the offensive choking tendencies of his two star players (CP0 , Harden in the '17 playoffs) . But defense isn't really something you can choke on - only the hardest core basketball fans can identify a missed or late rotation. Having CP3 there to help quarterback the defense, especially late in games, was an absolutely crucial component of the Rockets' strategy to defeat the Warriors. Remember how low-scoring the games in that series were - there's a reason for that!

3. I need to get up on the Spurs' contract/payroll/luxury tax situation. But I assume that Lebron wouldn't go there without a firm commitment from Kawhi to stay in San Antonio. Beyond those two, because of how effective Pop's system & approach has proven itself to be, even standard Spurs-quality role players would probably be more than enough to win a championship. The Spurs have never depended on having more than 1 legitimate superstar to win championships - and with both Lebron and Kawhi on the squad, they'd have two.

4. This is a really good question. I don't really know what's going on with Kawhi - his behavior at the end of the season with the injury and all the drama around that seemed really out of character to me. Maybe he's changed, and really wants to be a "star" now, with all the associated personal privileges. I just don't know. What I do know is this - if anyone in the league can handle Lebron's ego, its Pop. If Pop isn't able to transform Lebron's approach to the game into Warriors-defeating, championship-winning basketball...I don't think anyone can - and in that case, its a wrap for Lebron at 3 chips.

Breh the rockets were going to choke away game 7 regardless

Do you think draymond takes a pay cut?

 

[Versa]

I love when people bring up "finals MVP Andre Iguadala" coming off the bench to gas up GSW's talent level like he actually deserdde that shyt

Y'all are so transparent

That and pretending Draymond is a superstar are the two corniest things about people that hate this team.

I wont say draymond is a superstar but he is far from a scrub he is one of the best defenders in the nba and can hit open shots and make hustle plays, iguadala can defend and make plays too.
