A Ring for the King - Williams22 Playoff Picks

[Goat Milk]

He got banned by SBR Forum for a day due to some minor conflict with a user.

what happened?

[williams22]

what happened?

I pointed out that PaulyPoker was undercounting his losses and overcounting his units and he flipped out and posted like 50 times in my thread. We both got banned for a day I think but Lou reversed mine because he said I should have never been banned.

[lyon804]

Oh yes, oh yes... A ring for your King is coming soon I think Williams.

[williams22]

It's raining!!!!!!

If the rest of the Cavs can play with confidence like they did today they will be very hard to stop. You know you are gonna get full effort from Lebron every night.

[SwisherSweet420]

any leans 1st q spurs vs mavs

[williams22]

Lebron just likely checked out from the game. Over 2 points a shot for him today, talk about efficient.

I told you before the playoffs started that I wanted OKC/CLE finals and discounted the liklihood of OKC getting there... Not so sure OKC is not than unlikely now. They are good enough and young enough to not know better or how big the situation is.. I think OKC steals one in LA and that series is over if they do. I want OKC in the finals against Cleveland as a fan. I know othere experts read this and think I am nuts but it's not out of the realm of possibility with OKC anymore getting to the finals because quite honestly nothing in the West is impressing me.

If it's not a Kobe/Lebron final I would LOVE a Lebron/Durant final. OKC is a fun team to watch.

i really hope OKC beats the lakers, they are such frauds. the lakers remind me of allen iverson, they are just living off their talent

LA would have no chance this year against Cle. That series wouldn't go 7 6 max 5 more likely. OKC would hold serve against Cle at home imo. and Cle takes all home. Dude, I am either sick or something because I have drunk the OKC kool-aid. LA wins at home game 5 and OKC takes the next one OKC in 7.

[Goat Milk]

Lyon and Williams are both dreaming. OKC is going to get embarrassed in LA next game. They're light years away from being a contender. There are going to be so many more contenders next year with all the big time free agents. If OKC stays with their current squad, they will never be contenders. You need at least 3 all stars to be able to contend in today's league, and it's going to be MUCH harder to win it all next year.

[williams22]

To say that is an insult to Iverson quite honestly. I'm no Iverson fan by any means but that guy gave 110% every second he was on the floor. You certainly can't say the same about these Lakers.

Durant and Westbrook will both be all-stars for many years in the future. Green and Harden combine to be the third star. I wouldn't call them a contender right now, but they are sure doing a nice job exposing LA.

I agree. The Cavs would have a tougher time with OKC than LA. That being said, Orlando will be tougher than either of them.

Yes, I said months ago that the championship was going thru the East this year. At the time I wasn't sure if Orlando or Cleveland but I think I have to go with Cle now.

It will be ugly if Cle is beat again by Orlando in the East Finals.

Cle/Orl is all that exist in the East. The other East teams are scrubs/frauds

Durant is a superstar already and I've been calling Westbrook a top 6 pg in the league for some time now. He's the best 1 on 1 defender pg in the league (no, Rondo is the best team d). You're not going to win with 1 superstar and only 1 all star. We saw how that worked out with Lebron and Mo Williams, and a much better supporting cast.

Bro, next year, I guarantee Riley brings in Amare/Bosh or a big time superstar. When that move is made, Miami instantly becomes the best team in the NBA, Wade and Amare the two most explosive players in the world on 1 team there is no one that could stop them. Kobe won't, Lebron won't, and every single GM will know this and they will start to make more moves. The Cavs will pick up a dynamic 2 guard; the Lakers will pick up a great pg/bench players, and the spurs should pick up Joe Johnson and drop Richard.

OKC should grab someone like David Lee if they want to contend because Green is not a true PF and never will be.

You think that by bringing in Amare or Bosh, Miami becomes the "best team in the NBA"?

[Shafted69]

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, LeBrick can have all the stats he wants but he will never come close to matching Jordan's 6. MJ was 6 for 6 in the finals. LeBrick 0-1 FINALS record.

Were you wrong is comparing MO to Westbrook as the same All-star. Mo williams is a fraud dude. Westbrook is for real and the only PG I take over him is D Will. Mo Williams is exposed in doing anything other than shooting 3's. Mo is an outside threat for Cleveland and that's all. Like you said Westbrook is a top flight 1 on 1 defender has a good mid range game and is about as explposive as in true PG in the game today.



As far as Miami.. If all they get is Amare/Bosh with Wade they are still not a conteder for a championship next year. Yes, better but they have many holes.

Wade and Amare are the two most explosive players? What are you on? Amare is INCREDIBLY overhyped because he plays in a system that feeds his stats. You do also realize that Lebron is the most explosive player in the league, right?

Regardless, this will only make it more embarrassing for LA if they do get upset by OKC.

Bro what are you smoking? Amare shits on people left and right. Have you ever seen the guys 1 on 1 moves? He's midrange jumper is unreal and he posterizes people left and right, and he's jump hooks are sick! The Suns wouldn't even make the playoffs without Amare, they would be garbage. Nash has always had Dirk and Amare by his side to help him get his assists otherwise Nash would just be a top 10 pg.

Lebron more explosive then Wade? WTF Lebron doesn't explode to the rim like Wade bro he's stronger, he's faster, but no one has a good a first step as Wade, he probably has the most explosive first step in NBA history I've never seen anything like it.

[Goat Milk]

Lyon if you put Bosh and Wade on the same team, 2 of the top 5-7 players in the league, they'll win the NBA championship with scrubs like Arroyo and Chalmers surrounding them. Look at how Miami won the title in 06 with shaq. That team fvckin sucked and they still won it Wade with the best finals performance in NBA history put that team on his back and beat the talented Mavs team single handedly.

EDIT- That's pretty funny guy, I know you and williams watch ball though, so your opinions are considered .

That's true but that was a fluke/down year in the NBA. That won't work again. Besides it was the Mavs the same team that is a #2 seed fighting for there life in the 1R against the old/decrepit spurs. The Mavs have always been a fraud bro. I thought you knew that. Sure they win a lot of games in regular season but what do they do in playoffs. Spurs have them bitches on there heals. If they can't advance against this Spurs team than they are I am afraid another fruad.

Bosh is a better player than Amare and has far more moves. Amare posterizes people because Nash gets his man out of position enough to give him the room needed.

You really don't think Lebron is more explosive? Have you ever watched Lebron go full speed from end to end? Have you watched him sky for overthrown alleyoops? Did you see his recent dunk on James Johnson? No one is more explosive than Lebron. He was voted fastest player in the league in the poll of NBA players that you love to refer to as the bible.

Wade is deceptively quick, but more explosive? Not a chance.

You continue to overrate Amare. He's not top 5-7 players in the League. Just off the top of my head Lebron, Wade, Kobe, KG, Bosh, Deron Williams, Brandon Roy (when healthy), Dwight Howard, Nowitzki are all better. Oh forgot Carmelo too.

Amare is atrocious defensively and is an incredibly poor rebounder for someone of his size and athleticism.

[williams22]

Spurs 1Q -1 - 3 units

[williams22]

Current Playoff Record:
27-13-2 +35.8 units

Wade is deceptively quick, but more explosive? Not a chance.

I just said Lebron is the fastest and strongest player in the league. You think being explosion is all about speed? For me being explosive is all about your first step. There's no way Lebron has a more explosive first step than Wade. Wade is fearless when he attack the rim he's like a mini bull coming at you and loves getting contact whereas Lebron usually alters his shot more when he attacks.

As far as Bosh having more moves then Amare, he does, but Bosh is more of a jump shooter and Amare is a true PF bro, a true beast. Amare doesn't alter shit, he just dunks on people. He's posterized more players than anyone in the league. He's jump shot is unreal, and that team is garbage without Amare, he is there go to guy- not nash. He has better stats than any player in the league since the all star break except maybe Lebron. You're overrating Nash big time and not giving Amare his credit. He's there best player by far.

westbrook is one of the best pgs in the league, hes a taller version of rondo
the best player for OKC in this playoffs series has been westbrook

I said Bosh was a top 7 player, not Amare. KG IS IN YOUR TOP 7????????????????? He's not even top 7 POWER FORWARDS in the league

Relax goat, I meant Durant, just a typo.

I like chatting with you because you are one of the few guys who actually talk basketball here, but I'd really appreciate it if you could lose the tone of superiority when talking with me. You know I know the game, so be respectful. Stuff like telling me to rethink picks and then not saying a word afterwards when they hit isn't the best of manners.

I'm not saying explosiveness is all speed, it's speed and power which Lebron has more of both than Wade. Watch Lebron take off to the rim. No one does so with more authority in the league. Wade attacks the rim more than Lebron? Not a chance man. Lebron takes more contact than any player than Howard. In fact, he's so strong that he often has to avoid people so refs don't call him for offensive fouls. He doesn't flop like Wade and Kobe so when the defender goes down and he doesn't he often gets called for the foul.
