    I don't think OKC could hang with the bench of Cleveland.

    It's so inspiring to watch "Coach" LeBron and "Player" Lebron. How can one man stretch his attention to feed so many needy calves. He is a martyr of selflessness.

    Said it after that person held Adams in SA... No place for this bull shit. I also said the only time you should come in contact with players (as a fan) is if you are trying to prevent injury. I could potentially see a case for that here but he definitely pulls DeRozan back into his lap. I now realize that saying "trying to prevent injury" creates a gray area. It's probably best not to come in contact at all, unless you are sticking your hands out to brace a player. There's absolutely no excuse for a fan grabbing a player and physically moving them.

    Seems like no action was taken against that Spurs fan, should action be taken against this fan?

    That's for sure.

    Anyone who thinks Kyle Lowry s better than Damian Lillard is a clueless moron. There can be no other possible explanation.

    Damian Lillard's career play off low is 12 points - one time. With his 8-point performance tonight, Kyle Lowry now has 7 playoff games of 12 points or less this season alone and 23 for his career.

    On the other end of spectrum, in 38 career playoff games, Kyle Lowry has only score 20, or more, points just 10 times and only has 4 games of 30 or more points.

    In 27 career playoff games, Damian Lillard has scored 20 or more points 19 times and 30 or more points 7 times.

    And don't try to claim Lowry is more efficient or shoots higher percentages because it's absolute fucking bullshit. I'm not going to type all the exact numbers (they are available at basketball-reference.com for anyone who wants to look them up, but Lowry has a lower career playoff FG%, lower 3FG%, lower FT%, lower TS% and lower eFG% than Lillard. Lowry averages 13.9 ppg and 4.7 apg in the post season while Lillard averages 24.1 ppg and 6.1 apg.

    Lillard is just flat out better in all statistical categories, and it's not even close. Plus Lowry is also almost 4.5 yeears older than Lillard. Anyone that would want Kyke Lowry on thier team over Damian Lillard is an idiot.

    Not only that, but that he'd like to have Lowry on this team because he's better offensively.

    Considering you ignored all the facts of the rest of this thread, and everything everyone has said on any thread.

    WE WON.

    You may step down now.

    (and yes, you in effect said that, especially during game threads. I can go find them, but I know it's futile because you ignore everything when you're wrong. Like almost all of this page)

    I don't understand why ppl get on me on Dame's issues?? Everybody in here knows he's extremely streaky, everybody in here knows he sucks on defense, so when I say something like that it's something else.

    I tell you guys over and over again his leadership skills are amazing. Probably tied with Lebron and KD when it comes to motivating and leading his team. But yet I never hear anybody give me that.

    So when I mention his weaknesses you guys love to focus on that.

    It's all good though Bc I actually want to be wrong. Please let me be wrong and Dame comes back next year better defensively and most importantly much better efficiency wise.

    This is not about Dame. This is about how you want Lowry, who is just like Dame and what you hate about Dame.

    Once you accept that, then we can move on. Because you already look foolish, might as well just own up to it.
