Y'all trippin...

LBJ not getting MJ calls? gimme a f'n break...

Yesterday the C's got screwed by the refs and their poor play in the 4th...

Without KG this team almost beat the Heat...In the playoffs with KG and co. playing like this, if I was a Heat fan, I would be scared...

lol yes lets ignore Jeff Green going off RANDOMLY for the first meaningful time in forever. That was the only reason they were even up in the first place FFS. Maybe if KG AND rondo played, Miami would have some sort of threat but lmao no chance in hell

C's got screwed by refs? What about Jeff green touching ball when it went out of bounds on the final most crucial possession & STILL having it go to them & STILL losing?

Jeff Green since RR went down has been posting all star numbers 16.5 ppg 50% FG 41% 3P 1.5 bpg !! 4.5rpg 2.5apg 84% FT in only 31 mpg...

It's not randomly, oh my fuckin god, how can you call out amazing performances random?

It takes hard work and dedication and practice and heart to do those thing in pressure situations? You clearly don't know what the hell you talking about...

Every time C's got up by +10 the refs called phantom fouls on them and it got them into bonus situations, that late call doesn't even matter, yes it's a bad call but the Heat got too many bs calls...

16 points =/= 43 points (or however many he had)
50% FG =/= The insane % he shot yesterday

43 points against MIAMI is VERY random & lucky. NO ONE goes off on them like that, especially not some role player. Jeff green wont fucking average 43 in a series against Miami

As weird as it sounds Celtics actually benefit from playing without Rondo. The profiles of their players are much more suited to play without a ball dominant PG.

Yea I've noticed that, but either way they are down a player & most importantly, down a superstar. I'm sure other players can play his spot better, but losing your best player is tough no matter what & having a (some kind of, not necassarily rondo) star player will help

The Celtics are still the only team in the East capable of beating Miami. The Knicks can but they better get healthy in a hurry. They loaded up with way too many old veterans and now they are all dying off with injuries. Not to mention the Melo knee thing. Felton is probably wearing down too.

smh @ Ante saying the Heat got calls last night. Not really. Boston had way too many breakdowns on defense in the 4th and KG being gone hurt big time. Give LeBron his credit, etc.

MJ quietly played with some nice players in his career, unlike LeBron in Cleveland. Rodman (HOF), Pippen (HOF), Paxson (solid role player), Kerr (sucked other than 3's but money in clutch) Kukoc (great 6th man/fill in guy) BJ Armstrong (modern day Mario Chalmers/Mo Williams dick rider) and he was coached by Phil Jackson (greatest coach ever?)

LeBron will end up winning at least 3 titles and it could be a lot more barring injury.

Yeah that game was a big FU to the Lebron clutch jokes. People can stfu

Since ante can't notice the obvious & Bryan had to bring it up (the hof teammate arguement), I'll also say: look at who Jordan played against and look at who Lebron is playing against.. Lebrons competition is so much tougher its not even close. Jordan wouldn't survive having to play a tony Allen, Thabo, The future, Durant type player EVERY game

Hilarious...

There are better wing defenders in today's game. Almost every team has a 6'4-6'6 defensive douche these days. Back in the 80s and 90s they just relied on better centers to play team defense (which is a better strategy IMO). After MJ's first retirement he was pretty much a jump shooter exclusively so I think Leroy is right in the sense his job would have been more difficult. Pre-retirement I think MJ would have dominated in today's game just because he was relentless on his attack of the rim and idiots like Al Jefferson, Gortwat, Hawes, DeAndre Jordan, etc would have been powerless to contain him, much less stop him.

MJ got EVERY call from about 1994-1997 so it's tough to judge though. Now that LeBron is finally playing with capable teammates (Wade HOF, Bosh HOF, Ray HOF, Battie FGT, etc) he's suddenly winning titles like MJ and Kobe. Go figure.

Ante, when are you getting FIFA? I may get it today on my way home. Gotta start building up my defender in team play. I'll be the Matt Barnes of soccer after about 25 games.

Handchecking was allowed back then.

Not just 6'4 - 6'6 defenders. People are 6'10 now and can guard every damn position perfectly. All of Jordan's advantages are negated by these defensive douches. These guys are taller, bigger, fast, more athletic than Jordan. He would just be Kobe in today's era, aka not as good as Lebron

Yup and that's a MAJOR FACTOR...

@Bryan

Tomorrow brah...

I'm tired of this lame ass hand checking arguement. This isnt 2004, that arguement is So damn irrelevant at this point & has been shut down plenty of times before. If you really think jordan is better than Lebron then you need to get checked for some kind of mental disability or haterism. Just accept that we are all witnesses & enjoy it while it lasts. He's 28 already


This reminds me of rap arguements when people say nas/2pac/biggie etc are better than rappers today

I saw that flop yesterday, I don't even know what to say anymore

Nothing needs to be said, Clipper flops are there just to produce a chuckle. It almost seems like they try to outdo each other with more ridiculous attempts, some kind of an inside joke.
