LeBum is a joke. This guy will never win a ring again.

Very similar to the perfect storm of LeBron playing the a weak Eastern Conference. But those things don't matter when you bring up his string of NBA Final appearances.

My whole issue with LeBron is not that he doesn't always make the final shot (no one does), but that he seems to shy away from the moment. I truly believe it comes down to mentality. A lot of the books I read speak on the mental aspect of the game, and it seems to be that is where he is lacking. I'm curious to see how his career goes now that some of that athletic ability is beginning to diminish.

A Real Madrid fan too, so no surprise here really.

But congrats to GSW and Hames

The East is weaker as a whole, but the top teams can compete with the West. What does it matter who he beat to get to the Finals if he doesn't get destroyed by the best in the West once he gets there? With the exception of last year of course. Those Heat teams would of at least made it to the WCF every year, they were always a top 2 team in the league.

What did he shy away from this year? He almost beat them by himself ffs

They can't Swagg let's be honest. Chicago technically have the talent but it hasn't come out in reality yet.

The rest of the East can't compete outside the Cavs.

I think the Hawks and Wizards can compete with the West and can beat the Mavs, Pelicans, Trailblazers of the world

Healthy Blazers i don't agree, but who knows what they'll be like come next season considering half their team is a free agent.

Pelicans i think would beat both, but with a new coach who knows what level they'll be at. I agree they'd probably beat Dallas though.

I called it since November ffs. I said if we avoided Spurs, we'd win the whole thing.

Can GSW do a back to back?

The Thunder should be back and stronger with better coaching. The Spurs possibly even stronger if they get Gasol or LaMarcus. Cavs healthy again.

Too early to even get thinking about that of course, but what do you think we need to do to retain?

Can't wait for Lakers to win next season.

What does it have to do with him being a Madrid fan?

Because most of them are stuck up pos's

Because I dont have them lol

They cant exactly be worse though.

Can we take a moment to praise the idiocy of the Kings FO?

According to Yahoo and ESPN they are trying to shop Cousins

Huge *bleep*. Apparently its George Karl who wants him out, and his relationship with Cousins cant be fixed...the owner though wants to keep Cousins so it def looks like one or the other has to go now LOL.

Great news for the Lakers imo

Vlade has denied it apparently.

Freeza wrote:Vlade has denied it apparently.

Vlade doesn't want to do it but Karl does ( apparently their relationship is beyond repair) so if that's true i don't see how it doesn't happen.

Should be celebrating tbh.

Kings would be stupid picking Karl over Cousins, dont care if they just hired him. I like Karl and I still question some aspects about Cousins but its not even a question over who is more valuable.

That being said, there is every chance Cousins doesnt resign with the Kings anyway.

There's question marks over Cousin's temperament understandably, but anyone who is as dominant as he is you can get by it.

If he went to a team with anything close to resembling a contending team or with plans of doing so he'd likely be first team NBA every year.

No doubt about it. The questions I have about him are nitpicking and I think he is a straight monster. I think if he stayed out of foul trouble (which would happen on a better team plus he improved a little) and therefore played more minutes, we are talking about a guy who would average 30 a game and totally dominate.

We could use a star after Stern f'ed us in '11 or when it was

You have one legged Kobe, that's enough IMO.

Honestly, I think Cousins is more pissed at Kings inability to build a team around him and it's been like 5 years now. I don't think his attitude is anything to do with basketball or not giving a shit. You build a contending team around him, I think he will play his role (star or whatever).

I agree.

Anyone read?

Totally shocked to see these nuthuggers bash him even to this small degree but yeah, have to agree, especially as a coach.

I mean, I never heard of even Kobe or Messi making substitutions.

Yeah i read it, not surprised though. He's always been like that.

Also if he wants Blatt out who does it plan to get in? someone who he respects who just someone who will be a puppet for him lol?
