The only thing I clearly remember about the play is that it triggered something like a 5,000 word post on FreeDarko the next day with a headline like "Lebron is an Axiom." I loved FreeDarko without ever understanding a word they wrote. It's kinda the insecure kid in class that gets the kick me sign on his back mercifully removed by the hottest girl in the school, and him going "Man, she So wants me!"

Llevron Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 44 minutes ago, stevemcqueen1 said: Our rivalry with Boston is dead. They traded their whole team away and the only one left to hate is Smart, who is like their seventh most important player. It was fun for like the one and a half seasons it lasted. I can mobilize behind a Toronto rivalry. Really it's just fun to hate Kyle Lowry, one of the NBA's bigger tools. But right now there's no heat between the teams. It'll take a nasty playoff series to get it. I really dont like DeRozan either to be honest. I remember him getting mad and swinging on Otto a few years back cause he strapped him up for a series when he was hyped as the most gifted scorer in the game. Put the clamps on that ass and he got so mad he tried to fight in the 4th game of a sweep. Chump ****. That whole team is full of chumps. I like them about as I like ATL phoney asses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 5 minutes ago, Mr. Sinister said: As for Cleveland, I think they may just look at these last several weeks and just experiment, with Lue configuring and tinkering with the lineup to get the right mix once the playoffs start. Then, unless they really start clicking with Love back, or y'all start getting super hot with Wall, I feel like this is destiny. You are going to have to vanquish two dudes you have probably thrown voodoo darts at for about the last decade, in LeBron and Kyrie. So you're thinking that Indy pulls ahead for the third seed and Cavs fall to four with Wizards falling to five? That would be the nightmare scenario. I'd actually advocate for tanking to get the sixth if it started playing out that way. But as is, I think it's going to be a scrum between Indy and Cleveland for the rest of the season and we're not going to know who gets that three seed until the end. Neither Kyrie nor Boston really scare me, although Kyrie is good in the playoffs. And at the end of the day, I don't think we're going to play them because I believe Toronto will hang on for the one seed and I don't think the Wizards will get the three seed. I think Cleveland is going to mow Boston down in the second. LeBron scares me. He's transcendent and, when the playoffs start, he's going to show us once again that he hasn't aged. He doesn't age and he doesn't get hurt. Milwaukee and Philly kind of scare me too. Philly a little less so, but Embiid is also a transcendent player and their size is overwhelming. I know Milwaukee is scuffling, but I think Giannis is going to go nuclear once the playoffs start. They are really hard to beat when he does that. 5 minutes ago, Llevron said: I really dont like DeRozan either to be honest.

I like your fire. Personally I don't feel that way with DeRozan. He seems like a decent guy and I've never really felt he was overrated. He's not the flopper and whiner that Lowry is, and he's not a dirty player. Although I will say I can't stand watching him in All Star games because it's all mid range nonsense rather than running the floor for dunks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do yourselves a favor and read this. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/steve-francis-i-got-a-story-to-tell/ Steve Francis: I Got a Story to Tell Damn, that was awesome. I always wondered what happened to him, too. Definitely. I actually worked briefly with a dude (drug dealer by night type of deal) that knew him (or said he did anyway). Franchise was definitely one of those dudes I'll have fond memories of. It just seemed so short lived though. A lot of dudes were flaming out around that time, and a lot of new dudes were starting to make their mark (Paul Pierce, McGrady, Kobe, etc). I think he just got caught up in the wash, and once that trade happened, it seemed like it was all over. Interesting story. And the snippet from the airplane convos he had with Hakeem had me rolling.

I don't really know what will happen in the East in terms of outcomes in the matchups, except for LeBron, who will do LeBron things. I wanna say Philly may go on one of sneaky GS '07 kind of unexpected runs. They could certainly bother the hell out of any of the likely top 3 seeds. But they're still too young.

But I still think he's going to go to the Finals. I definitely don't see him losing to us in the first round. We've avoided LeBron in the first two rounds of the last three playoff trips we've made. I suppose we're due to play him this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't stand a chance if Wall isn't healthy, but if he is, we're the better team even if we don't have the best player on the floor.

The Reign of terror was fine when it was on my behalf, but now someone must remove him from the Hardwood Throne. Appreciate that, hope ya'll sneak in without overtaking us, too. See the problem is I never had a chance to like the guy. Just when I thought I couldn't root against him any harder, he moved to our division. He's been the bane of my existence for well over a decade now. The only exception I made for him was in that series where he beat the Warriors because I thought it would inspire KD to come home, too. I've been waiting for this level of vulnerability with his team for a long time, I believe we all have. We absolutely have to want it more then he does. I'm sick of the excuses about the refs and fatigue and him going Super Saiyan. We didn't go into that Boston series with a "glad to be here" attitude, we wanted to win but lost fair and square. In 7 games. Edited March 9, 2018 by Renegade7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
