2014 NBA Playoffs: 2nd Round

[Stoked]

Didnt he already go through the thunder 2 years ago?

And the spurs are an elite team in the west, no?
Handled them last year

Lost to the Mavs and the Spurs as well.

Edit: For the record I am not questioning Lebron's greatness. He is phenominal. Just would like to see him go against stiffer competition is all.

Which team won that series again?

Yeah but Lebron was weak in that series - averaged only 25, 11 and 7.

TEAM OF THE WEAK
Portland (0-3): Damian Lillard is a great offensive player, but he's getting schooled by Tony Parker at both ends of the floor through the first three games. It's going to be a great experience for Lillard, though.

First off, pierce guarded lebron for most of the game.

As for your assumption that lebron is looking good simply because of his opponent...... he has been to the finals 5 times in his career. I dont think this nets team is the only team he has dominated.

He is the best player in the game.

I think it's 4 times.

Spurs, Mavs, Thunder, Spurs

I thoughy he went twice in cleveland and 3 times in miami.

Lost both times with the cavs and once with miami.
And then back to back titles.


Maybe he only got to the finals once with cleveland?
I thought it was twice

Parker has averaged 23ppg, 6.5 apg and 2.5 rpg.

Lillard has averaged 20.5 ppg, 5.5 apg and 4rpg.

Didn't do their fg%s but they are both playing well according to the box score. This is as far as Lillard has been in the playoffs (1st trip as a matter of fact) and is a sophmore. I think he is doing just fine.

where's the stats for defense? [btw, thanks for admitting you were analyzing only the box score... allow me to say a few things]:

Lillard is doing fine. No doubt. But the fanboys are ignoring his defense, which is definitely not good.

....Lebron starting to cry like a spoiled 2 year old on every play....and getting more calls than Jordan and Wade put together! He's definitely improved his 3 point shooting, though, that's for sure! But I'd put my money on the Spurs this go around! Home court, more brains and better supporting cast!

Defense has always been a knock on Lillard has it not? Of course Parker will exploit that. But Parker is hardly shutting down Lillard either. Lillard is fine, all I'm tryinmg to saying.

Above, I quote David Aldridge. He watches the games. So have I. The stats don't say how much Parker has controlled things. You can disagree if you want, but why would you when you're working solely off the box score?
