Where is LeBron gonna go if not LA? I think NY or Houston are the only other possibilities.

I’m one of the few that thinks he stays in Cleveland. My thing is, why go to the West where’s there’s hella competition and you gotta play GSW at least 4 times during the season. San Antonio and Houston 3 times each as well.

They have the Brooklyn Pick so they can reload by drafting a young or trade for another star and continue the run in the East.

He should team up with John Wall. I think that would be a good fit

Whatever man, you act like your squad is the best thing since sliced bread and a James Harden led rockets has been to the WCF ONCE.

Injuries are excuses. Pels have had major players and contributors injured year after year and we weren't allowed to use that as an excuse.

Oh and

Geez man know your spot in the pecking order please.



Pels are gonna shake that up this year bubba. We've been saying it since the off-season.

New York makes more sense than LA. LeBron and Porzingis possibly make the finals if New York gives up picks to some bad team to dump Noah/Lee contracts. If they dumped those guys and went after one more legit player, they'd have really nice team in the East.

Rockets have won their past 3 games by an average of 26 points. They have 10 double-digit wins. They clear the bench so often, they are 2nd offensively overall, but last, by a lot, in the 4th quarter.

Just as we suspected. Fourth qtr scrub time killing CC net rating. Which is first in the league anyways.

Also averaged the most turnovers he's ever averaged per game in last year's playoffs

Shot 40% in that series with three straight games with seven turnovers


And the Thunder were the better team that series with Russ on the court. Sorry those are all numbers that don't lie bubba.

Nope, we didn't bubba.

Russ gives thunder lead every time he was in the game, scrubs blow the lead when hes on the bench despite james hardens inefficient shooting, Russ tries to do too much in the fourth, is gassed and plays bad. All facts

vic oladipo
Kanter
Etc

All playing great without russ. They weren’t no good with him bc he don’t know how to play team ball. Team was all about him. No wonder they were lost when he wasnt on the court they weren’t used to doing nothing besides standing around and watch bad shot after bad shot.

When you sink to the depth of defending a guy who blew arse when it mattered most and lost in a cakewalk 5 gamer. Time to move on.

And yet despite all of this bad play due to Russ OKC was the better team with him on the court than the record setting Houston Rockets in last year's playoff series.

You're grasping at straws bud. Billy D ain't exactly a great coach. His players not playing well are on him not knowing how to maximize Russ with his team. It's on him to corral Russ too. When to tell him to attack, etc.

When you know James Harden had a bad playoff series shooting the ball yet you soak up the credit for beating a tired Russ and his poorly coached teammates.

I guess Russ was holding back Oladipo his 4 years in the league too. He's having career year across the board.

Kanter, everyone knew his offense and rebounding were good, the defense is where he struggled and still does.

Oladipo PER went up his first few seasons every year. It went down when he played with Russ. Now it’s back up again. Seems he is getting better each year ceot for the year he played w the guy who don’t make his teammates better
