OP having a glorious meltdown

He’s always melting down about LeBron.



And yes this thread and his meltdown is about LeBron. We all know it.

[RRR3]

34-24, I warned you to stop acting up.



I’ll have to post “The Collection” Now....


The 34-24 IQ Collection


•Al Horford is the worst player in the league
•Marcus Morris will be the first option on the Celtics and is deadly in the low post
•Marcus Smart is a talented scorer
•Kyrie Irving is a better basketball player than LeBron James
•Ben Simmons should take contested jumpers at the end of games. Mamba mentality doe!
•Kevin Durant didn’t join a 73 win team
•Pau Gasol first option on the Lakers from 08-11
•Jae Crawford
•The Warriors and Cavs were evenly matched in 2017
•LeBron is the least skilled superstar ever
•Isaiah Thomas is killing it on the Nuggets

1 man vs 2 guys (+ 6 ALTs)

Lol @ me being on someone's mind THIS much for them to fabricate lists like that


Seek help

Dude is straight up treating the Eastern Conference like a scrimmage run

When will he start playing hard?

yikes

[NBAGOAT]

Yes. Either a guy missing 60 games matters or it doesnt. If not, then the guy that misses 18 games doesn't matter than much either at all.

Hypocrisy is a TOUGH pill to swallow, but we're all guilty at times.

No the problem here is lebron matters far more than love there is no hypocrisy here . I think lebron and Lonzo were 20-14 together but that’s a secondary argument. One of my buddies who followed the lakers more than me felt he was the 2nd most impactful guy, feel free to challenge that however.

Edit: and you can matter and not be nearly enough help to take them to the playoffs. They were 12-48 without him or a 16 win pace. Adding 15-20 wins which is huge impact(overstating loves honestly ) and they be a 30-35 win team

Guy who once averaged 26-12 in multiple season was out 60 games.

Does his absence have an impact or not?

This should be a slam dunk question for you. Once you answer this question, I'll be willing to entertain a more nuanced conversation.

Yes see my edit. Massive impact won

This isn't how basketball is played.

With him there, they build chemistry, rhythm, identity, and confidence.

Interesting that you didn't mention that their championship head coach packed his bags too. Does coaching suddenly not matter, too?

Just admit that there's a bit of a double standard, bro

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Ok even if I give you all of these things, it

I wasn't hoping anything. I made a prediction that Love would get his team back to the playoffs.

Same way you and others made a prediction about Lebron taking the Lakers to the playoffs (although I didn't because of conference competition level).

Wanna know a fact though? K Love led his team to a 40-42 record in 2013-2014 and missed the playoffs. The West was THAT STACKED.

He's more than capable of leading his team to the playoffs in the East when healthy. For anyone to disregard that amount of games from a dude whose averaged 26/14 is a bit...strange.

Again that 14 twolves actually had some players like Kevin Martin and pekovic and Rubio. You can
