NBA Conference Finals Series prices

I still think Lebron's streak vs the EAST is more impressive. Maybe b/c i rooted for Lebron from 2011-2014 and some of those series were crazy intense (Indy and Boston come to mind). I also rooted against Lebron after 2014 but it seems like the east was pretty weak during those playoffs runs although there was probably a good team or 2 in that mix that i am forgetting

Yeah some epic series in the early part of LeBron's streak. I remember down 3-2 to Celtics and LeBron went into the Garden and dropped one of the best playoff performances ever that 1st half. Then at end of Game 7 single-handedly destroyed Boston. That was the beginning of him flipping the script on the Celtics; has absolutely owned them ever since.

Yeah East definitely a little down after the Heat years, but him/Kyrie were pretty special and they weren't challenged in East much mainly for that reason.

LeBron's last year in Cleveland the team was pretty awful. They were challenged by Pacers in 1st round and Celtics in ECF, but LeBron son'd them both in the end. He also swept top-seeded raptors.

My short term memory sucks at the moment. GSW missed the playoffs these last 2 seasons?

18 in a row is VERY impressive. They are a fun team to watch (and funny how many kids are warriors fans in south florida)

Yeah Warriors missed it in the Bubble year. Steph got hurt at the very beginning of the season, Klay was out all year too, Draymond missed most. Durant left. They had worst record in the league, complete rebuilding year. That's when they drafted Jordan Poole

Following year no Klay for entire season again. Makeshift roster. Lost in the play-in tournament so no playoffs.

Someone can’t take a joke at all

You've been rambling and whining like a girl for almost 3 days now. I've moved on dude. Told you a couple of times I couldn't care less about this. Yet you wanna keep up your little hissy fit.

Whatever dude. Get well soon. I'll be rooting for ya.

You take this shit way too seriously, relax

Just think it’s funny seeing a troll antagonist type poster trying to talk sports and act like 1 of the guys now, crude said the same thing. It is funny to see. No animosity. Do I seem like the type that cares about sports laundry that much? Cmon now, got more than a few posts that says otherwise.

Keep the entertainment up, maybe you start breaking down Xs and Os next? It’s like watching a mammal in a new habitat

Might need to root for Boston tonight for forum’s sake

Nah dude, gotta root for Jimmy "pussy" Butler

Lol at least Jimmy didn’t pretend like his shoulder got dislocated after a 30second stinger

Jimmy has had nagging knee problems for a few months ago.

They are saying that the trainer told him he couldnt play the 2nd half.

Miami has a very deep team so many dont play when hurt as the bench has the "next man up" mentality.

Personally, i like Jimmy on the court for his leadership and "playoff Jimmy" is a pure stud

Yeah Jimmy injury was definitely legit. A rare mistake by D-Love to say otherwise

Hard not to love Jimmy. Embodies the Heat culture perfectly. Great leader, mentally/physically tough.

I think he plays well tonight. Tough test to win this one though. Herro loss hurts a little

The mission in Boston is already accomplished. Would be hilarious if they stole another though lol

The Herro loss sucks if they're lacking offense.

His D isnt the best and when he's missing shots, he becomes more of a liability on the team. Even on Saturday nite when he was chucking and missing, he was killing me. I could see Caleb Martin getting more minutes in Herro's absence. Martin was a surprisingly very good player this year but he's no Herro.

I still think the HEAT trade Herro and Duncan in a package which is going to be the right thing to do but make me sad

If he can play tonight, then he could have gutted out the 2nd half on Saturday night. FACT.

He was either legit injured or being a little bitch. Can't have it both ways. Not in the ECF with so much at stake. Smart was a man and gutted it out. Bitch Jimmy stayed in the locker room.

Figured tonight could potentially be a bounce back game for Herro.

Gonna need some offense from either Strus or Vincent. Not sure how much you can rely on Lowry, though I liked the energy he brought.

If the trainer says you're out, then you're out.

So if you can play 44 hours after hurting yourself, then you can play minutes after hurting your self? When did you become a PT? A sports injury doctor? Yet we thought you were only a doctor of love?

Probably the best post in this thread.

Not sure what the point of bringing up the East having better teams was. Like does Boston get extra credit for having a tougher path to the Finals or something???

Warriors more battle-tested than any of these teams in the grand scheme of things, and not even close. Nothing is gonna scare them

Mavs have made more 3's than Warriors in all 3 games so far. And they have Luka. And they haven't won a game yet. Warriors stereotype is that they just scorch you from 3, but reality is they just have a much better overall offense than any team left , rely on the 3 the least of any teams remaining. I guess having the two best three-point shooters of all time on your team will make that stereotype hard to shake though.

As for the Splash Brothers: It's been rare to even see one of them hot in a game, let alone both of them in same game. They start getting hot, then it's game over.

Obviously a championship is no guarantee, we should all respect variance, but seeing these arguments for Boston being better is pretty lame.

It will take at least a game or 2 for Boston to understand what they're up against this level of Warrior basketball. I can't say enough, Regular season dones't mean s***t. On both sides of the ball. Think about all the Warriors off the ball they C's have to really concentrate on. And its not just Draymond, Loon is a helluva passer too. Highly underrated TBH. People forget he has champinship DNA in this system. And on the defensive end?? Klay, Wigs, Loon Draymond. However, Porter going down concerns me losing another goon on the defensive end. They'll have to rely on Poole and the rest of the guys to pick pockets collectively. And another thing. The Warriors are out rebounding everyone!!!!

Aww hell don't get me started.

For the record I've got the Warriors in 6 vs. Boston. Can't figure out how they'll do against Miami cause they've got a helluva coach. Maybe 5 or 6 as well. For sure there won't be a 7 games series against either one.

Wonder if doctor said not to push it, given the cushion they had. Don't think it's having it both ways, decision could have been out of his hands. Heat doctors took it out of Herro's hands -- he wants to play

I guess you're a doctor, so maybe we should trust your judgment there.

The real bitch was Tatum IMO, that reaction was so overboard. Don't know if he wanted to distract from another one of his shitty performances or was seeking a standing ovation like Smart, but man what a drama queen.

 

[Dr.Love]

If the trainer says you're out, then you're out.

Or they use the trainer as a cover for the star player being a bitch. Takes the heat off the player. Happens all the time.

You think too much. Stop it.

You might get roasted by the RX New England cult for spitting facts bro, watch out.

They'll try to play the "Celtics are deeper" card. Warriors the deeper team if you really stack the rosters up. Not sure how you flaunt depth when you're throwing Derrick White and Payton Pritchard out there as part of your core playoff rotation in crucial moments.

You think Pritchard makes the court against the Warriors? Honestly parents should be hiding their children from the TV screens for that shit. Who the fuck is that guy gonna guard?
