LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

I’ll say this on record before he gets here (because I do think he’s coming whether I like it or not), I do appreciate how encouraging LeBorn (see I can spell his name correctly) is with the young core.

He either is watching us closely for the potential move, or if he followes every NBA team as closely, he’s the greatest basketball analyst ever. He actually has good insight on this Lakers team.

 

Raja Bell's one was worse. And I never rioted, if anything it pumped me up. Kobe wagging his finger to the crowd @PHX. LOVED IT!

 

I don't have the patience to look through all the Gameday threads, but I bet I could find smaller hits on our players this year where we asked for a flagrant.

I don't understand this.

 

What do you mean you don't understand. It's not that hard to see.

Of course I yelled at Bell back then and wanted him tossed. But I'm not going to cry and wine about it like some CLE fans did the other night. At the end of the day I got more pleasure and chills out of watching how Kobe reacted, which was like it's no big deal as he brushed off his shoulder and wagged his index finger.



Love Kobe's edge! On the flip side, I'm sure PHX fans were proud of Bell.

 

I'm not arguing about Kobe or what his reaction would be to that play.

I'm saying we would be upset and call that Sabonis foul a flagrant if it'd happened to Kobe. Are you arguing differently? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

 

No we're on the same page. I'm just looking at that foul last night and thinking that's nothing like we've seen in other situations Kobe or not. For the CLE fans to cry like that on that just rubbed me the wrong way. Their getting too sensitive. Get upset when its a real hard foul.



Not to get off topic here but has anyone else been experiencing stuff like this? Where the link cuts off the words:



I've noticed this started the last week or so for me. Not sure if its the website or just me.

 

I think it's easy to say that, but if that foul happened to Lonzo Ball or Brandon Ingram, we'd probably be saying it's a flagrant too. I don't want to kick the Sabonis kid out or anything, but it's a flagrant foul especially in today's NBA.

And yes I'm getting the same thing. If I reload the page, it usually comes out fine.

 

Or, put that Super Soldier Serum in Kobe’s veins and ...

 

Indiana doesn’t have a kraken, it’s why teams like them don’t move on very far in the playoffs, and why LeBron’s team does. Philly has a kraken, though, and they released him last night finally. Tiny bright side of this series, we’ve seen what playoff Jordan Clarkson looks like, and it’s bad. That trade looks better all the time.
