Orlando should improve even in spite of Skiles.

Short term improvement is his thing (and maybe what's called for down there)

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 June 2015 18:38 (eight years ago) link

In general I'm pro-warriors but the glowing dumb articles about the brilliance of Joe Lacob and positionless basketball make me want Mozgov and JR Smith will the cavs to victory a little.

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 June 2015 18:39 (eight years ago) link

mozgov is pwning bogus so hard

Spottie, Monday, 8 June 2015 18:46 (eight years ago) link

Mozgov is such a mercurial player, I guess Bogut kinda is too

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 June 2015 18:48 (eight years ago) link

yeah

Spottie, Monday, 8 June 2015 18:50 (eight years ago) link

Mozgov and JR Smith will the cavs to victory a little.

slothro you need to be a little less literal online bro

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 June 2015 18:52 (eight years ago) link

*slothrop

i never know with you man you like yr minority positions

slothroprhymes, Monday, 8 June 2015 18:53 (eight years ago) link

Because I don't want to think about hoops rn I just wanted to say that I'm rewatching the third season of The Wire and my love for Bunny has not diminished a bit.

mozgov is the prison guard baller from Oz think about it

This was amazing he went big time on dellavedova and then bolted away from blatt in like 0.3 seconds

i just realised that tyronn lue is the young assistant coach on the cavs bench

micah, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 10:44 (eight years ago) link

You didn't notice in the regular season when he was calling timeouts behind Blatt's back? Or when he saved Blatt when he tried to call a nonexistent timeout against the Bulls?
Starting to think he might have the juice

tsrobodo, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 11:08 (eight years ago) link

i've wondered who he is and never connected him with this guy

if lebron averages 40-12-8 for the series, he has to be the MVP whether the cavs win or lose, right?

k3vin k., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 14:19 (eight years ago) link

one wld think

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 14:22 (eight years ago) link

i suppose it's possible, if they lost it would make him the first finals mvp for a losing team since jerry west (the first to win the award)

slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 14:24 (eight years ago) link

that would be a hilarious public upset

Nhex, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 15:40 (eight years ago) link

deserving tho

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 15:41 (eight years ago) link

My theory re bron's shooting is that all the juice has made him more powerufl but he hasn't been able to adjust his shooting touch to accomodate the extra strnegth

, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:10 (eight years ago) link

lol it's just fatigue

k3vin k., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link

or just a cold streak

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:50 (eight years ago) link

its a pretty astoundingly awful streak, brons ability to be effective through it with a xtremely depleted team is vv impressive

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:00 (eight years ago) link

yeah super impressed with what they've accomplished. if they somehow win this series I'm saying he's the goat

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:09 (eight years ago) link

well, it would certainly erase any uncertainty left over from bron's shaky start this season

Aimless, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:11 (eight years ago) link

well he's still murder in the post and the warriors are letting him get there whenever he wants

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link

Yes but Jordan never went to the juiceman.

Falconetti Pot (Leee), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link

questionable

slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link

There is no juice in gatorade

yeah feeling like a change in defensive approach might be in order

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:17 (eight years ago) link

but still

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:17 (eight years ago) link

serious question, do any of Lebron's teams in his 12 years make it past the 1st round of the playoffs without him? besides maybe like the 11-12 Heat?

frogbs, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:22 (eight years ago) link

wld be true of p much any finals team minus their best player

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:24 (eight years ago) link

have people forgotten that Tyronn Lue basically stifled Iverson in that series (arguably due to helpful officiating)?

I bet we see some stretches of full on ball denial and preemptive double teaming tonight to try to frustrate him into taking more jump shots. Might even throw both bigs at him if/when Tristan is the 5

juice college (agent hibachi), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:48 (eight years ago) link

Also Steph better stop playing like a shook ass mark asap

juice college (agent hibachi), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:49 (eight years ago) link

need to get the time haters to whip him into shape

He was at peak juice then but then deflated, maybe deflating and rejuicing has led to the shakiness

, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:18 (eight years ago) link

i don't think you're far off - i think he went back on some kind of juice by the all-star break

i dont think theres any easy explanation for why bron is shooting so terribly its prob a combination of things he has i feel like always been streaker than most and was never pure

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:19 (eight years ago) link

his form is bad for sure

, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:20 (eight years ago) link

People have down years shooting the ball too. If Ray Allen can have one anyone can.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link

I think Lebron's shooting form is fine, he just floats and fades a little too much (something he cut out in Miami)

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link

It's not like he shoots gross line drives like kobels

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link

he's also been playing on a scrap heap team for like the entire playoffs

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:30 (eight years ago) link

def a factor, but hes missed a ton of easy looks too
