Around the NBA - Conference Finals

I understand, he said they got the shock clock down to two seconds. It wasn't, oh at 5:02pm the shot clock read 2 seconds. Anyways, I wasn't in awe of his ability to remember things, it appears others are. That's fine.
Guess we all have opinions. You seriously cannot remember exact series of events? I find that hard to believe, but I suppose everyone's ability to remember things is a little different...
Lebron does a lot of things that are impressive on the basketball court, and some off the court from what I have read, I just didn't find this to be one of those things.

 

Judging by the commentary, this has been posted already (by someone invisible to me) but in case not:

 

This is not the first reporting on LeBron's photographic memory - apparently he can see any game on TV and identify it, and also knows the names and draft histories of every NFL player. Also he knows every play of every NBA team and has been known to correct members of the opposing team when they're standing in the wrong place.

 

Saying we made them get to two second on the clock, is a lot different than saying at 7:02 I did something, not sure why that distinction isn't being made...

 

Everything I have ever read about "photographic memory" says it's not really, real and for most people the closest they come is very domain specific. Obviously Lebron, and Jordan, and Kobe and apparently Draymond Green have very good memories of with this stuff, but so much of it is focus, work determination. Many people are capable of doing that when they are passionate and focused on a subject. I wouldn't dare to claim I have a great memory, but when I study hard for something I almost always remember it, when I'm focused on something I can remember things and I'm sure most of you can too. These guys are incredible for many different reasons, but I think we all are in different ways. Do you think Lebron has never forgotten something, or mis-remembered something? It doesn't diminish him as a basketball player, or a person but he's not really special in having a great memory, lots of people do.

 

Hard to bet against Lebron, but if Cleveland can't figure out a way to deal with Horford in the pnr/pnp or how to compensate for the numerous shaky defenders they have to play, this may just go Boston's way.

Their talent is underrated and Stevens will continue to relentlessly exploit Cleveland's sub optimal defensive scheme and personnel.

 

I'm sorry, I can't cheer for Draymond and KD

 

This. Sorry Chris, I'm rooting for Houston. My father is a devout GS fan, and you have no idea what that's like. He even has a yellow Aston Martin, for fuck's sake, lmao.

Not this year pops. And I FUCKING HATE bitch face Curry.

 

Maybe I’m crazy but every time I see Hardens step back I think isn’t that a travel? He picks up his dribble and moves both of his feet?

 

Who thinks Green gets tossed from this game?

 

2 and a half step rule in reverse basically. He gets away with an extra step once in a while though.

 

I guess? It just looks bad on tv I suppose...

 

Capela is so Damn good on D. Strength is an issue vs a few matchups, but dude is a monster otherwise.

 

If I’m GS at this point I’m feeling pretty good.

 

Considering how sloppy they were at times, wholeheartedly agree. If they activate their Super Warriors Run powerup in the 3rd, it's a wrap tonight.

 

Idk, Houston's starting 5 has been tough for GS to guard and I'd expect Houston's others to play better in the 2nd half.

 

few players i hate more than CP3. Dirty B.

 

This isn't really unusual.

 

That's why I wanted to use the word "if" and not "when." I too expect HOU to use more ball movement. Unless a miracle happens, there is no way in hell that the Rockets are winning this series by playing ISO.
