Where are all of you now?
Are we going to be "fine?" |
Yes we are going to be fine. If they shoot like this in the playoffs, then we won’t be the champion. However, I am confident they can do it. |
I disagree.
This team is not cohesive in the least, has an iceberg as a center, have porous defense everywhere, and can't seem to score consistently outside of LBJ. Sadly, that also includes AD.
Our wins over Boston and Milwaukee seem to be fool's gold because, outside of them, I can't think of an actually impressive win since Christmas Day. |
Well, then you can watch them lose. I am very confident they can handle the nets in the finals (if we ever get there) |
Yeah, I'm with you. Its much different in a 7 game series. Also, the team looks a lot worse when its missing AD and Schroder. Of course the defense and offense look a lot worse. |

The worst thing that could have happened is if LBJ went nuclear and we fluked a win.
This way, the front office will take a serious look at deficiencies before the playoffs. |

So you don't actually have a counter to what I said other than to say that we'll be fine just because we will be.
Alright then. |
I literally told you we will be fine because our shots will fall in the playoffs, and if they don’t, we won’t win. Their role players made open 3s, ours didn’t. Simple as that. |

Come on Blue, its all narrative at this point, you want him to start tossing out a glowy narrative to counter your pissy narrative?  I'm as agitated at this loss as anyone, but I'll say this...team just needs to stay competitive while AD is out (and grab another big perhaps?) and things should be back in play.
Wont dispute the 3 shooting has become so bloody awful more times than not that it is concerning. To that I can only say "law of averages?" |

| They can’t guard Bron and if you put KD on him then AD will eat. I will admit, them having Harris is huge. LeBron has never played with a guy as good as him from three |

Yet not impressive that they stacked their team in order to do it.
I'm way more Impressed by the Jazz.

Add to that the Nets. Been trying to warn since the trade. Trouble ... |
Exactly. Putting 3 elite offensive players who can actually mesh well, while retaining Joe Harris, and adding pieces like Andre Roberson... Well someone else better get Drummond on their team before things get ugly |

Agreed. I really felt the refs allow them to play slap/reach in D alot. Meanwhile, they have Harden and Kyrie who will get calls on offense. |

| No team gets anything done without #2 and #3. AD would've scored more than most of our bench combined tonight. |

| this years team just doesnt have it, not sure if its a chemistry thing or what but havent seen them play well for a while now. Im just glad we got last years ring and didnt come up empty in Lebron's time. |
