Might as well hit the hay

Guess we will get some new blood run for the rest of the playoffs

Booker going for the kill. Lebron going for his cell phone to check when the Space Jam premiere is.

imbluestreak23 · 06-03-2021, 10:15 PM

So, I made the point last year. 1 + 1 does not = 2 in basketball

LeBron + AD is greater than the value that each player brings individually. This is why LeBron wants superstars that compliment him and for him to remain the alpha dog. It makes his legacy look great. LeBron by himself, didn't make the playoffs the first time around in LA and is getting bounced in the first round (almost missed the playoffs) when he was given AD for half the season.

Same can be said for Booker + CP3. If Booker = 1 and CP3 = 1, CP3 + Booker = 3. It's chemistry. And it's the biggest reason why LeBron's accomplishments are nowhere near as impressive as the media and world make it out to be. He's been surrounded by superstar players on his roster since 2010 sans Year 1 LA.

Lakers coming through for the 4am shift.

A player’s accomplishments are only truly impressive if they have dogsh** teammates? Seems like a weird argument to make. I’m surprised how often I encounter this belief though.

tjforce · 06-03-2021, 10:22 PM

Welp, with Miami and soon the Lakers out... that opens the Finals up for some new blood.

I'm rooting for anybody but the Nets.

imbluestreak23 · 06-03-2021, 10:23 PM

LeBron is such a bitch

Trying to bully the refs into giving him free throws. This isn't street ball bro, you ain't getting your way

Would have been great to see your boy play his entire career out west getting bounced in the first round every year.

I know you have a massive hate boner for LeBron, but that’s just a ridiculously stupid statement.

Seems like a lock though for the Nets. I could be wrong but 3 MVP caliber players on one team is annoying. Just have to stay healthy.

armoursave · 06-03-2021, 10:27 PM

Lebron looking old out there. It’s a young man’s game, and his time is up.

My hate boner is rock hard! I'm on one tonight, cannot stand the dude.

codered · 06-03-2021, 10:27 PM

I’m guessing lebron heads home at half time to watch the 4th and then EJ, Kenny, Charles and Shaq? Waive the white flag lol

6celtics33 · 06-03-2021, 10:27 PM

This is embarrassing for a defending champ led by a would be goat.

Will be nice to see some new blood. And yes anybody but the Nets.

MavsRChamps · 06-03-2021, 10:28 PM

No lie, I made my 1st Sports bet ever betting on Phoenix tonight to win. I saw an ad for a sign up bonus, & went ahead & signed up. Glad I did

Posters like you are why I imagine Lebron haters like the old Dolphins undefeated team, popping champagne when the last undefeated team lost every year.

Enjoy your drinks tonight fella, no title for your basketball antichrist this year

Same. I'd love to see Dallas but I'm realistic. Just hoping for anyone but the Nets

Meh haha Miami lost the first year with their big 3 healthy. I don’t think anything is certain for Brooklyn. People are giving them too much credit. Milwaukee looks really really good. Milwaukee has a really legit chance to win that series
