I'm telling you there was no noticeable effort slippage. Was I scouting the game? No lol But there was no obvious slippage defensively.lhslep134;1629777 wrote:I never said he wasn't. But now that you said you watched every game and didn't notice an obvious slippage an effort, I know that you can no longer be credibly talked to about the NBA. You just don't understand.
As far as whatever your retort is going to be, I've done more than enough on this site to prove my NBA knowledge. -

Or our coach....I think the Pistons would have made the playoffs last year if they would have had SVG.Commander of Awesome;1629775 wrote:Cavs not making the playoffs in this eastern conference told me everything I needed to know about our roster. -

LOL come the fuck on man. He wasn't as good. Your "eyes" not as good? the entire team wasn't as good as last year. My eyes/analytics tell me that.robj55;1629778 wrote:Yes but you can still play great defense and not get steals or blocks. -
lhslep134
Then why are you the ONLY ONE to not notice the slippage? You don't know what you're looking for, even if it smacked you in the face.robj55;1629779 wrote:I'm telling you there was no noticeable effort slippage. Was I scouting the game? No lol But there was no obvious slippage defensively.
Give it up dude, you can't look worse on the entire last couple pages. [closes eyes and hopes for Robj to respond with something even more dumb] -

When I said better I meant more talented obviously. But atleast there is something there to work with, and the talent is young so it can be molded into something greater/better. Those other Cav's teams were maxed out.Commander of Awesome;1629772 wrote:See my edited post. -

Our coach had something to do with it, but he also coached the Cavs to the best record in the NBA 2 straight years. Do I think he's an awesome coach? No. Do I think he's the reason we didn't make the playoffs in the worst conference in basketball in almost 30 yrs? No.lhslep134;1629780 wrote:Or our coach....I think the Pistons would have made the playoffs last year if they would have had SVG. -

Okay but we are splitting hairs here.wildcats20;1629774 wrote:No one said he wasn't.
He still wasn't as good this year as he has been in the past. -
robj55
He was/ they weren't. Like I said we are splitting hairs here, not worth arguing.Commander of Awesome;1629781 wrote:LOL come the fuck on man. He wasn't as good. Your "eyes" not as good? the entire team wasn't as good as last year. My eyes/analytics tell me that. -

No, you're being a stubborn LBJ pube in your glasses guy.robj55;1629786 wrote:Okay but we are splitting hairs here. -

They should of regardless really. If they didn't have Jennings and Smith.lhslep134;1629780 wrote:Or our coach....I think the Pistons would have made the playoffs last year if they would have had SVG. -
robj55
Possibly, but it wasn't a noticeable difference, I saw elite at guarding 4 positions, which no one else can do. I'm over it though. Tired of you guys kickin my ass lolCommander of Awesome;1629788 wrote:No, you're being a stubborn LBJ pube in your glasses guy. -

No we aren't.robj55;1629786 wrote:Okay but we are splitting hairs here.
LeBron James was not as good of a defender this season as he was in the past. -
robj55
Because my knowledge>>> lol Just messing. I just said we are splitting hairs. If he was a 9 two years ago he was an 8.5 last year.lhslep134;1629782 wrote:Then why are you the ONLY ONE to not notice the slippage? You don't know what you're looking for, even if it smacked you in the face.

I don't think me losing all respect for any NBA knowledge I might have given you credit for because of your failure to see something completely obvious and your dismissal of advanced statistics is splitting hairs.robj55;1629792 wrote: I just said we are splitting hairs. -

I hate your arrogant, pompous, look down upon everyone attitude btw. Other than that you're cool though lollhslep134;1629782 wrote:Then why are you the ONLY ONE to not notice the slippage? You don't know what you're looking for, even if it smacked you in the face.

And truthfully I don't really care that you don't give a f*ck about what I have to say. But I will not sit idly by when I read ignorance.

It wasn't obvious, like I said. He was still elite defending the 1 through 4. Also team defensive breakdowns play int that as well, but you already knew that.lhslep134;1629796 wrote:I don't think me losing all respect for any NBA knowledge I might have given you credit for because of your failure to see something completely obvious and your dismissal of advanced statistics is splitting hairs. -

My point is that this year he sometimes caused those breakdowns when he never had before. And guess what captured that fact? His lower defensive rating.robj55;1629799 wrote:It wasn't obvious, like I said. He was still elite defending the 1 through 4.

robj55
And he was also forced to react to more defensive breakdowns from his teammates, but you don't factor that in. They weren't nearly as good defensively as in previous years.lhslep134;1629800 wrote:My point is that this year he sometimes caused those breakdowns when he never had before.

I'm working on the "smarter than thou" thing. In fact, I've stayed away from it on here except for footwedge.robj55;1629797 wrote:I hate your arrogant, pompous, look down upon everyone attitude btw. Other than that you're cool though lol
But dude, what you were saying was obviously so offensive to my basketball sensibilities that I crossed the line between argumentative and combative to douchey. So for that, my apologies. -
robj55
I was just messing with you. What I said wasn't that bad any way, I said that he was still elite and there was no noticeable effort drop off. There was but it was marginal, very marginal. Nothing to get worked up about.lhslep134;1629802 wrote:I'm working on the "smarter than thou" thing. In fact, I've stayed away from it on here except for footwedge.
