@pantherphan96 This is your KANG huh? This is your GOAT? 30 point losses in the First Round to Victor Oladipo & Domantis Sabonis? In his prime? THAT'S your KANG? LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

"All Star" Kevin Love with 7 points on 3-10 shooting. But hey Love > Pippen because he was voted as an All Star right? LeBron has to put up 40 point performances to win by less than 5 against the #5 seed and it has nothing to do with his supporting cast? lol keep hating

Kevin Love has averaged more points, and rebounds than Pippen in his career, and only has two less All-Star appearances. If we're going to say LeBron is a better rebounder and passer than Jordan. I'm going to say Kevin Love is a better scorer and rebounder than Pippen. He's also a better free throw shooter, and 3 point shooter. Thanks for playing. Your GOAT lost by 30 points to the Pacers. If your GOAT loses to the fuging Pacers in a 7 game series, you will no longer be able to have an opinion on this topic.

Yeah the Bulls were a long way from the Lakers big 3, but they were on their last legs at the time. At least until they got Rodman.  Prime Bulls vs Prime Lakeshow would have been a thing to watch.

I won't argue with that. But, those Lakers were stacked. While those Bulls from 91-93 had a guy that was the first pick in the Expansion Draft to the Raptors in BJ Armstrong, Horace Grant which had 1 total All-Star appearance (after Jordan retired the first time), and a 35 year old Bill Cartwright. I would never discount Jordan in any Series, but, the odds would not be in their favor vs the showtime Lakers.

its obvious you are just a box score watcher. the fact that Love has better averages (skewed by the fact that he was the only good play on Minnesota for a number of years where he put up ridiculous numbers) doesnt make him better than Pippen, especially when considering how ass Love has been in this playoff series and in previous years playoff series. keep hating.

Absolutely not. I do believe that Scottie is better than Kevin Love, come on. That's common sense. But, to say Love is trash or sucks per say, is beyond moronic. Kevin Love would be a borderline Hall of Famer if he wouldn't of joined LeBron in the wasteland. He was averaging 23 and 10 in his many seasons in Minny. And it's not hating, I state facts, you state opinions. That Series where Love and Kyrie were hurt, LeBron shot a smoldering 30 percent from the field, while Timofze Mozgov averaged 15 and 12 for that Series, so did Tristan Thompson. But, Lebron's final two games were horrendous. He shot 15 for 34 and 13 for 33 the final two games. That is fuging horrible. That's why I don't really fug with Kobe like that, because he shot the same exact way.

@pantherphan96 I think you've essentially, and inadvertently, proven Jake's point. Michael won no matter what and he made the players around him BETTER. Lebron disappears for stretches, no one else seems to have a good night if he decides to show up and have a good night, if other guys get involved his stats plummet. People point to it as being a good teammate or trying to elevate others but its just failure after failure on his part... He turned Kevin Love into a smoldering pile of crap for crying out loud.

Michael elevated his game and he elevated the game of those around him. He not only went out and had 40 point games but he was one of the best defenders in the league and also managed to get his teammates involved by using himself to take defensive pressure off of them. Horace Grant, Steve Kerr, Ron Harper, Toni Kukoc.. those guys were good solid players but they were not Ray Allen, Kyrie Irving, Dwayne Wade, Kevin Love, Chris Bosh, etc.

Mike never quit and did everything and anything it took, no matter what, to win. Lebron simply is not on the same competitive level as Michael Jordan. Is he more physically gifted?? Probably. More talented?? Arguably. But the man doesn't have half of the heart or will power that MJ had and its why MJ will always be the GOAT and the rest will always be pretenders. Lebron is about Lebron and always has been. He and Kobe have tried to copy Michael, tried to duplicate his legacy but that's all they can and will ever be, copies.

Pels got their ass kicked last night. Just have to adjust my expectations and predictions. Pels in 5

FTs are 59-20 in this series. Absolutely unreal. AD shot 0 FTs tonight.

I've never seen anything like this.

That double foul call was ridiculous, should've been a foul on GS at least if not a tech.

I'm not sure anyone outside of GS fans can be watching this series objectively and think it's being officiated well. Pelicans took 54 shots in the paint last night and shot 9 FTs. Jrue and AD played a combined 87 minutes and shot 0 FTs.

Cavs in game 7 vs the Pacers won the FT battle 40-24, nobody said a word, and all I heard was "LeBron is just that great." Really? LeBron is so great that he made a team that averaged 24 FT's per game in the Regular Season get 40 in Game 7? OHHHHHHHHHHH K. Neeto. 

So, I would just be prepared to lose 4-0 if I were you Pelicans fans.

Utah is one hell of a team. Quinn Snyder is so underrated.

Jazz just beat the best team in the NBA this season while Toronto hasn’t found a way to not be Lebron’s bit(h

I hate it, but it's all rigged dude, or at least heavily altered to favor certain teams.  Indiana also outplayed the Cavs, and still with a few fortunate whistles Lebron advances.  Basically the same thing happened in the Raptors game, but Valanciunas couldn't hit a 1ft shot multiple times over in the fourth along with the same NBA nudging for the Cavs to pull it out.  If it's a close game the Cavs or Warriors are going to win, and not just because they have the best players.
