You could take the entire fourteen other EC teams and build a team from the best and they'd still lose to LBJ and this team.
Jimmy Butler, Isaiah Thomas, Kyle Lowry, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jonas Valanciunas will lose.


If that guy being stopped by the cops had started waving a gun around he would've been shot a few dozen times at least. The people taking video from decks above in the car and gun shot video could've sniped them easily I suppose.

Some people think all good vs. bad gun encounters look like this:

Smart was the worst FG shooter in the entire league this year too. According to my calculations if the NBA required everyone to go bald the league ORtg would go up a point or two.

Do you think Kyle Lowry Paul George Jimmy Butler Giannis and Whiteside with a bench of John Wall, Bradley Beal, Jae Crowder, Khris Middleton, Marcus Morris,, Joel Embiid, and Myles Turner could beat the cavs

He was getting doubled hard as the primary option against one of the best defenses in the league. As a second option the team has averaged 64 wins a season in his first two years. I dunno, LMA is fine by me

Yeah, LMA is still a good player. I think the Spurs looked bad because their MVP level guy wasn't there. Also, their point guard.

Both of whom open up LMA's game and prevent doubling

I think even if Parker and Kawhi were healthy the Warriors win the series, but it would have gone to 6, 7 games and they all would have been competitive. A bit too much is extrapolated from game 1 against a team that hadn't played basketball in like a month.

Definitely agree. I think it's a 6 game series with Spurs fully healthy. Rockets series should've taught people not to extrapolate after Game 1

I'd think a lot more of John Wall if he could shoot threes at an average clip but I like Russ more than anything so that's a hollow criticism I guess

Who said that? And Isaiah is so much better of a scorer that any relevant stat has him as more valuable than John Wall, regardless of defensive woes

He's fine as a secondary option but people thought when the Spurs locked him up it was a sure bridge to another dynasty. Instead you've got James Harden Killer Manu and Pau another year older and you were giving David Lee a good chunk of playoff minutes. Kwahi is a great centerpiece but that team has a bunch of questions around it and Aldridge is one of them. He's got a funky by modern standards game that hasn't grown a ton and good defensive teams can gameplan around.
