Enforcer_FFX Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Gaaah, yeah, Steve. I'm glad Detroit got Stanley Johnson. He's had good moments during the season. He wasn't backing down from LeBron (Like say, when KCP switched onto LeBron, he physically abused him), especially in post-ups, but you DON'T say that. James still got his buckets on the rookie. He just needs to learn to be more savvy in the press. Overall, Detroit hung in there in the first half, but Cleveland just pulled away in the 3rd.

Going Commando Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 LeBron showed the way to handle it. Just speak in cliches and talk about the team. Save the trash talking for when you're on the court, don't try and lob grenades through the media. Especially when you're team is losing and when the guy you're trash talking is dominating. Van Gundy is obviously trying to get his guys to not be in awe of the moment, or Cleveland. But this mess is a distraction and you don't want confidence to come from cluelessness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Its always up to the lesser accomplished individual to talk some trash. Lebron can just say nothing, then yam on em like Hercules. That would do the talking for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 True but Jordan talked **** to anybody. Saw a report the other today he would even sing to some guys while he was cutting them up on the court. The example given was he was signing "I'm giving you the best of me" or something while he was carving up Stackhouse one game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Its different when someone good trash talks. Thats insult to injury. My point really is that they don't have to, particularly when going up against someone inferior that is talking to them Edited April 21, 2016 by Mr. Sinister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Its always up to the lesser accomplished individual to talk some trash. Lebron can just say nothing, then yam on em like Hercules. That would do the talking for him. Lebron is not above talking trash, and he never has been. He just doesn't do it for the press. Let's not forget that this is the guy that was known for dancing on the court long before Villanueva tried to steal Westbrook's dance partner and created his own chalk dust ritual. Lebron is not a humble or quiet man on a basketball court, nor should he be. This is NBA basketball, not baseball. The Association has a long proud tradition of **** talking.

My point really is that they don't have to, particularly when going up against someone inferior that is talking to them OK on this I can agree, it's never a good look when a guy is trying to hype himself up by talking **** before getting slaughtered. Plus it's never been a good idea to trash talk a guy that can dominate. We haven't even seen Lebron go into destroyer mode yet these playoffs and Stanley Johnson will probably never see it. You've got to win some games against Lebron before he'll declare himself the master and charge around the court with his aura glowing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Weird to say, but IND sure could use Hibbert this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Weird to say, but IND sure could use Hibbert this series.Not weird at all he was a great defensive center... and then something happened the press wouldn't talk about and he was never the same.Reminds me of how Stephen A Smith threatened Durant after Durant called him a liar. Said something about him talking about the stuff he holds back and how it could change his image. Can't remember the exact words. Makes you wonder just how much crazy stuff goes down that is never discussed as an unspoken rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 This game is fantastic. Golden state finally take the lead, and immediately surrender it. When they're down big they can't miss, when it's tight they can't hit a shot three feet from the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Harden got away with the most blatant push on a game winner since Jordan... and Draymond Green embarrasses himself. Haha great game. Klay Thompson 0-7 from three. 7-20 from the field. Warriors bad three point shooting was the difference tonight. Haven't been able to say that much this season.

Hersh Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) and the guy inbounding for the Rockets at the very end tried to throw it away. He was lucky the GS player only tipped the ball. I would have laughed at the stupidity. Edited April 22, 2016 by Hersh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Great game. Would have been hilarious if the rockets lost. Really tough for the Warriors to win with no Steph when Klay can't put the ball in the ocean from a pier on the Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a more loathsome organization in basketball. Well the leagues officiating report came out... http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15305873/2016-nba-playoffs-league-says-james-harden-game-winner-houston-rockets-not-counted The NBA came down harshly Friday in its review of the officials' crunch-time calls -- or lack thereof -- in the Houston Rockets' Game 3, 97-96 win over the Golden State Warriors, saying James Harden's game-winning shot should not have counted. It was among five incorrect calls in the last two minutes, the NBA said in its assessment of officials' late-game performance dubbed the "Last Two Minute Report." On the replay from Thursday night's game, it appeared Harden pushed off Golden State's Andre Iguodala before converting a 10-foot step back jumper with 2.7 seconds to play. The league argued Harden initiated contact with Iguodala before hitting the basket. hahaha I'm sure Morey was happy to read that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
