Someone tell me what happened in that "My friend cheated" thread. I can't read through like a million fucking pages, but I know one of you did.

More like they were stopped while their HOF coach was getting booed out of Staples and being replaced by Mike Brown.

What number do you think Dwight will wear once he pulls a Shaq on you guys?Red Blaster said:
I'm hoping "0" to commemorate the number of rings he won in Orlando.

Dude, you can keep pointing to "hurr, hurr, hurrs" all you want.
Truth is, your team got handled, H2H, in a lazy swept and the only reason you got that one is because Rafer played out of his mind.

Next year the Lakers coach got worse and The Magic didn't get any better.Red Blaster said:Sorry can't hear you over Mike "ehehuehu hueh uehu heuhue IT SURPRISED ME" Brown's coaching
Phil Jackson left so that first part was to be expected and Orlando is in fact ...Orlando so I suppose both parts were expected.
Here's to another year of Orlando "Basketball".

THE LAKERS HUNG BANNERS, ONE AT YOUR TEAM'S EXPENSE.
THE MAGIC HAVE WON 1 GAME IN 9 FINALS GAMES.
Reply to that without using a "hurr hurr, some other team that beat the Lakers" straw man.
You can't.
You're done.
I cosign iamshadowlark when he says Lebron didn't show up all series. The 4th quarter nonsense is actually giving lebron a PASS.
He sucked all series, he played ok in game 1, then was a disaster the rest of the series. Wade made some mistakes in crucial times, but Wade is the only reason that team was as close as they were, he played Dirk to a T pretty much.
Wade shouldn't get shit at ALL for that series. Not one bit. Wade's problem is that he disappears in meaningless games, Lebron's problem is that he disappears in meaningful games. I would MUCH RATHER have the former, than the latter...
Also...speaking of the Chicago series. Let's calm it down a bit with Lebron's defensive ball washing. Lebron in near his athletic prime guarded Rose for half of the fourth quarter. Big deal.
Kobe guarded Westbrook and CP3 for AN ENTIRE GAME. Not to mention he basically shut down Rondo all 2010 finals. Rondo's only good game was game 2 when Kobe was in foul trouble.
CP3 in game 1 of the 11 playoffs 33 pts /14 assists/7 boards (Kobe not guarding him)
CP3 in game 2 of the 11 playoffs 20 pts/9 assists/ 3 boards (Kobe guarding him)
Whynotbrook in game 5 of 2010 playoffs 15 points/6 assists/5 rebounds/8 turnovers / 30% shooting
Lebron getting credit for shit he never did is at such high levels that the compliments are exaggerated and the insults are toned down

Maybe you guys can share with us some more Dwight in LA fanfiction. I mean, I previously was a believer that all fanfiction was stupid BS until the Lakers got swept by JJ Barea with Phil Jackson getting booed at Staples and was subsequently replaced by Mike Brown.

Dwight in LA?
I've never posted that he was coming to LA (although others here have) but go ahead with your strawmen.
Oh another JJ Barea name drop?
So you agree that you're done.
Cool.
Also, I love how a guy that is a fan of a team with Stan Van Gundy as the coach and Otis Smith as GM is laughing at Mike Brown as coach of the Lakers.
A guy that has coached ZERO games in LA.
ZERO.
We know all about the Master of Panic's resume in Orlando though.

SVG has overachieved with what limited pieces he's had, but it doesn't surprise me that Laker fans would cling to the master of panic hegemony since they're the same group that thinks Andrew Bynum isn't a terrible basketball player who also happens to be a piece of shit.

You still have to guard rose out there though, which makes it that much harder. Rondo? Bleh.dIEHARD said:

Also all that particular quote is saying is that Spo was trying to put them in a uncomfortable offense and they objected. How does that equate to "they didn't want to work"

Um no. We were still running the same P & Rs and trying to get the same shots that we had been getting all playoffs. Lebron was just scared to take the shots that he normally would.reilo said:
iamshadowlark said:
Lebron in his prime guarded Rose for half a quarter, Kobe guarded all 3 of those guys pretty much all game in his 14th 15th season. Kobe in his athletic prime would put a straight jacket on Rose all game.
And I remember Rondo completely tearing apart the entire Cavs team that year in the playoffs and having historically amazing triple doubles. Then he comes up against Kobe and all of a sudden disappears and it's a coincidence?
I pointed to 3 of the fastest point guards in the league, three of the most explosive, and Kobe stopped all 3 for at least one or two COMPLETE games all series. Had the Lakers played the bulls in the playoffs, I'm sure Kobe would be guarding and doing much of the same to Rose too.
Apparently it is. Saying that they failed to execute a gameplan, that they didn't bother working on their faults and learn a proper offense is also trolling.DY_nasty said:
Nevermind that we know for a fact that Spoelstra was being questioned just a month into the season and told to ease off a bit and quit trying to be a hardass. Apparently that's what hard-working teams do: complain about working hard.

Except that they weren't? We consistently loss against BOS and CHI only winning 1 game between the both of them. In the playoffs we consistently beat them losing only a game a piece between them. Is that improvement really hard for you to grasp?DY_nasty said:

Come on fellas, lets all just hold hands and be friends.
You say improvement, we say getting hot at the right time. Either way, the proof is in the pudding, which is this: it was a sham because it didn't last, so their perceived improvement was temporary.iamshadowlark said:

How is changing a offense "working hard". You have to be comfortable with any offense, and they obviously "worked hard" to get comfortable with a offense that they wanted to run. And I forget how great defense just falls from the fucking sky.reilo said:

How many times from how many people do you have to hear that it wasn't the teams execution at all? It was Lebron. If he half shows up we win.reilo said:
Afflalo can guard 2's, and thats a "wing position", and he does guard 1's, so he does guard multiple positions.... but if you want to specifically include 3's, then no.Black Mamba said:
Pierce yes, because he's fundamentally better, he gets guys going into the support defense really well, i mean i can see the argument for no, but he does just as much, by doing it in the team which usually results in more consistent results.
Marion isn't over rated, i'd says he's right about where he should be, he does a number on a lot of players. Though age may take this away from him shortly.
Battier? no. Not after last season. Age has finally caught up to him.2 -3 years ago? yeah i'd have agreed.
Also, Deng had one hell of a year defensively.
Because to claim something to be improved it has to be a constant. Reverting back to bad habits is reversing that improvement. For it to happen merely a week after stellar play cannot be constituted as improving.iamshadowlark said:
Because Chris Bosh sucked, too. His defense was terrible and his shooting was still abysmal and his rebounding still mediocre.iamshadowlark said:
As much as I like to blame Lebron, proclaiming it to be solely his fault is not the right answer and too simple for such a nuanced game as basketball. The whole gameplan sucked, the whole execution was flawed in the Finals.
Winning 2 out of 4 series (lol Philly, that's a BYE) is not a holy grail of improvement.
You know what else is fair to say? Boston regressed after the ASG.
