2018 NBA playoffs running thread

Tiger last won a major in 2008. LeBron has sustained dominance for a longer period of time.

 

Well, it doesn't matter because Bron Bron's getting swept out of his Finals misery ...

 

He must post here.

 

I think that separates LeBron for Jordan for me is that LeBron can fill any hole on a team capably. He could play big minutes at center if you needed it because he's so strong and big enough. Whatever position you need filled on the floor he could go out there and do it. 14 years in the league and in the physical condition he's in right now, it's something I've never seen before.

 

This is why I’ve consistently said Jordan isn’t really the comparison for LeBron.

Magic Johnson is.

 

Jesus, all the stuff going on in the playoffs, and its LeBron vs. Jordan.

Year after year.

You'd think this was an ESPN or Fox Sports shouting show.

 

He not only "could", but often has throughout his career. Just as he's often played every other spot. Sometimes in the same game.

He's the most position-less star in the history of basketball.

 

Utah will make it seem like the third quarter last night never happened when they play next.

 

The Sixers are going to win the East.

Discuss.

 

I find it interesting that Markelle Fultz is basically not part of the playoff rotation.

His biggest contribution this year is his YMCA jump shot and injuring their prize player.

 

I'm a Cavs fan, but a part of me wants to see LeBron go to Philadelphia to close out his career. The Cavs aren't winning another title, no matter who they bring in around him. And I'd love to see late-career LeBron primarily focused on setting up Simmons and Embiid for dunks 25 times a game and saved offensively as a closer for the end of the game. It'd be fun to watch him age that way.

 

Not only does he still look lost, the team looks completely disjointed when he’s in there.

A complete 180 from how they play with Simmons. It’s no coincidence McConnell is getting more minutes.
