lol at watching or caring about Shannon/Skips opinions.

Kyrie out 6-8 weeks, really pulling for Miami to get that 7 seed now

 

Mar 23, 2018

You mother f---er. I was bored earlier and there wasn’t anything else on. Didn’t watch it yesterday. I like seeing 2 people going at each others throats.

Lol at Kyrie being out. Your Celtics sure are a top team that could compete with the cavs. Remember when you and fitz were raving about them being the best of the east a few months ago? Yikes.

 

Mar 23, 2018

I know you're clinically r-----ed, but you do realize this was prior to a bunch of Celtics injuries right? and yet, they're 48-23, the #2 seed and would probably be most peoples picks to come out of the East with a healthy squad.

For sure yikes, I agree.

 

Mar 23, 2018

Even with a fully healthy team they would never beat the Cavs in a playoff series. Come on man. Cavs with Love back are a whole different team, especially in the playoffs.

 

Mar 24, 2018

Waiting for this Curry MRI result. I obviously hope for his sake that it's not serious, but f--- the Warriors. Glad all of this is happening to them. They're still probably a finals lock tho

 

Mar 24, 2018

Without Curry the Rockets can beat them. At least I think so lol.

Imagine thinking this. Lebron has to exert himself on a nightly basis for them to get wins. Only when he puts up some of the best stats of his career are they winning.
He will get tired/countered pretty easily in a seven game series. The healthy Celtics are best team out of he east no doubt. We have played better then the cavs all season without one starter, and now we are down three starters and two of our biggest role players and still beating teams like OKC and Portland.

Man I hope so... harden usually s----s the bed at some point in the playoffs, but hopefully they make it out of the west

The Cavs haven’t been at their full strength all year either. LeBron will continue to be the favorite out of the east until someone proves otherwise. He’s about to make it 8 straight.

 

Mar 24, 2018

No, he’s about to get shut down. And you can look at the betting odds, Lebron isn’t favorited to make it out of the east, The Raptors are.

 

Mar 24, 2018

Nobody in the East is beating LeBron 4 outta 7.

 

Mar 24, 2018

I think the Celtics should beat the Cavs in a playoff series assuming Kyrie is playing by then, but not sure they actually will..Never know what Bron will do. Raptors are another story, I still don't really trust em..but depends on which Cavs team you'd get, Raptors certainly could if they're rolling and the Cavs are playing like they have most of the past couple months.

Also Lonzo is far from a bust, I've actually watched him throughout the whole year and the most disappointing part was how long he was out with a seemingly fairly minor injury, I'm a little concerned about his durability and toughness..But still he's a 20 year old rookie averaging 10, 7 and 7 also with almost 2 steals and a block per game. Defense is already pretty good, the team plays better when he's out there too.

They had a 9 game losing streak without him. If it wasn't for that, Lakers could be in the playoff race still. Hopefully his shooting improves, he's had stretches this year it was good but overall yeah it's been disappointing, he also needs to be a little more aggressive at times..but he's a rookie, he's just watched more closely cuz all the hype. He'll be fine and already has shown glimpses of being a great player, potentially a great leader too. His passing is obviously on another level too.

betting odds ain't s--- lol

the last 2 or 3 years the cavs have struggled in the regular season at some point.... they've been playing great ball the last couple of weeks and are about to possibly go on a 7 game win streak. they have average regular seasons and then just run through the east every single year. they're a whole new team in the playoffs. not to mention lebron (and k-love) just singlehandedly beat the raptors when the Cavs weren't at full strength either. it's lebron's conference to lose

Betting odds are literally the basis for “favorites” and are usually accurate since Vegas isn’t looking to lose money

 

Mar 25, 2018

Vegas odds are basically only accurate like an hour before a game, otherwise they are pretty dumb to rely on. There's a reason ESPN and other mediums are using things like FiveThirtyEight (which I think is pretty s--- too honestly lol) to predict things before they use Vegas odds.

And according to here, the Cavs and Raps both have 12/1 odds to win the finals: http://www.vegasinsider.com/nba/odds/futures/

They do have 9/5 odds vs. 2/1 odds for the Cavs to make the Finals though. (which might actually be what you're referring to) Wow, huge difference lol. And the Cavs have maybe been fully healthy 1-2 weeks this entire season. Always missing a solid part of their offense.

No clue how reliable the site is tho

 

Mar 25, 2018

Vegasinsider is reliable and future odds are usually accurate. And yes they do have better odds to make the finals, same odds to win. The term favorite refers to Vegas odds lmao so writing off Vegas odds is just stupid

 

Mar 25, 2018

LeBron hasn't let a ECF go to 7 games in 5 years. It's also factoring in how the public perceive the line... and the public thinks "this is the year" (for lebron to finally lose) is every d--- year.

 

Mar 25, 2018

The fact he’s won in the past doesn’t guarantee he will make it every year. This is his worst season since before his streak. He’s done.

 

Mar 25, 2018

lmao what??? he's having one of the best years of his career... triple doubles every other night, what're you talking about?

 

Mar 25, 2018

His team, not himself. He has to triple double to carry them. Exerting himself much earlier
