i think it's going to be the other way around, as long as butler doesn't hide behind screens. Should be a good series though

It’s not even a knock on Tatum, but swap him and Giannis and idk if the Bucks even win a game.

If we play the hypotheticals I can say it would have been an 8peat. Nobody knows what would have happened. what actually happened is he beat everybody once, three times in a row, then he left the game to them, then he came back and beat everybody again. I consider Jordan's retirement and comebacks one of his greatest achievements. Others could get...

He really shot 4-16 in the second half?

source?

I'm not the only one saying it my guy. From Realgm thread yesterday:

2017 draft was loaded with busts: - Markelle Fultz - Lonzo Ball - Josh Jackson - Dearron Fox - Jonathan Isaac - Dennis Smith JR Damn near every pick in the top 10 is terrible. Ainge had the #1 and was smart enough to trade down because he wanted Tatum the entire time, what a genius. And he got the pick off trading washed KG\Pierce.

Rooting for Miami in this series. Kinda want to see jimmy butler lock Tatum up. Miami has an electric crowd and arena too.

The truth of the matter is that there was nothing LeBron could do to salvage that series when Wade choked the end of Game 4 by fumbling the ball, was scoreless the last 4 mins of Game 5, and choked Game 6 only scoring 17 points

Dude, Lebron stopped being aggressive period. His jump shot was good enough, what's the excuse for him not driving to the basket all game or making play and play? Again, he was hitting PLENTY of jumpshots against the Bulls/Celtics right before the finals, and a lot of his clutch baskets were tough jumpers...so he was capable of doing the same...

Op is a fvcking moron

Derrick Rose as proven by the youngest MVP award ever.

I think you're slightly overrating how good Lebron was/is. Lebron had holes in his game that could be exploited if you have a great defensive team with no matchup to grossly exploit. He mentally choked, yes. And it was over several games unlike MJ, yes. But the man could not hit the long 2. That's not mental. When a guy who is a mediocre shooter...

Lebron averaged 34 on 54% to get a 2-1 lead in the 2010 ECSF So the biggest reason they lost is because he averaged 21 on 34% to lose the next 3 games and the series - so did he melt down in 2010 too? Or was he basically a bigger version of your standard ball-dominator that gets figured out after a few games IN ADDITION to the obvious mental...

Which team is giving the Lakers two stars + multiple 1sts for Bran right now? Would you give up Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart & future picks for Lebron?

Wrong, Lebron's game was 100% good enough to win the 2011 finals and win FMVP. Of course his game got better since the 2011 finals...but come on. Dude was the best player in the league and folded due to all the hate he received from the 2010 "decision". That is absolutely what happened. Heat could have actually won the series in 5 if Lebron...

You kind of deserve each other.

Dawg, come on. See this is what I'm talking about. Don't try to change the narrative. Don't compare that to what Lebron did in the 2011 finals. Lebron literally choked from the end of game 2 to game 6 basically. Way different than MJs 95 series. MJ vs the Magic in 95: 31/6.5/3.7 with 2.5 steals and 1.8 blocks. Lebron vs Mavs in 11: 18/7/7 with...

The problem was Lebron's game because he wet the wet the bed every year leading up to 2011, including the 07' Finals and 08' ECSF - he also averaged 21 on 34% for the last 3 games of the 2010 ECSF, which lost a 2-1 lead So the reality is that it WAS lebron's game - he didn't know how to win and played horribly against all the top teams at that...

Seems odd to me. A mental choke is much easier to explain considering literally every player has had one or more in their career. "MJ would never" and yet he had one in 95 and owned up to it. Lebron's failure was a mental choke AND a weakness in his game. And you're right in that he didn't just randomly up his game over the summer. But he did...

Bout time somebody called out LeBron for the 2011 Finals, never heard anyone claim that he choked in that series.

You have almost 27k posts and the vast majority are about LeBron while I only talk about you when you’re being particularly stupid, so it seems highly unlikely that’s even close to true.

Whatever, have fun trolling someone else. Defensive anchor.. that's a good one.

Damn, that's inhuman :applause:

If James was forcing his way out the deal would still have to be Simmons Irving and 15 future firsts. But seeing as he isn't it ain't happening. You are deluded hater idiot if you buy into this crap. You don't trade the league's top asset for the league's worst asset.

Everyone knows Wade was the best player on the floor in that Game 6. Literally one of the greatest 4th quarter performances in NBA history.

Derrick white doesn't seem like much of a downgrade if he gets the start. Playoffs 2 man lineup Tatum/white: +18.9 Reg season Tatum/white: +19.6

He's at close to 39% shooting 9 a game in the playoffs. That's all-time great level. He only didn't make all defense because he's competing with kawhi. He should be a 3x all defense he anchored 3 elite defenses (2018,2020,2022) all the advanced metrics say it's him that was most valuable. Eye test as well for me, his man 2 man is scary.
