Is it time to flex on James Harden?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Tony brings in the authorities and puts a restraining order on Draymond. He just can’t stop molesting innocent players eye sockets and other orfice’s

Who is more violent, draymond green, metta world peace or dennis rodman?

everyone hates KD but hopes he comes to their team next year

not really surprised as soon as the rockets complain about the warriors and their patented zaza closeout they tried to use to take harden out green just swipes his eyes blatantly and everybody says "well whoopsie doodle!'
natural defending motion right? trash team, trash fans, trash league.

You must be young. Look up nba fights and tell me how many are of draymond.

Metta world peace knocked harden so hard he turned into the biggest flopper

I mean Dennis is psycho. Draymonds a thug that’s soft like every other player plays the 2000’s

Metta was literally a stupid nigger

Draymond isn't even a fighter mate. He just kicks people in the nuts like a bitch.

Jayson Tatum needs to step the fuck up!

The Celtics weren't expected to win Game 2.

Kyrie and Gordon also had an awful night.

All the Celtics need to do is win both Game 3 and 4, there's no legitimate way for the Cucks to get back and win the series after that.

Why should he step the fuck up? He knows that if he plays well he's just AD trade fodder bait.

Rockets by game 6

>AD and Kyrie Celtics
>both injury prone
>win no championships

Don't do it Ainge!

Rockets will try too hard in game 3 and get blown out. Expect lots of chucking from Harden.

He's terrible, Charles Barkley was right, The Rockets don't make adjustments

With how bad Curry is shooting lately these games were rip for the taking for Houston. GS doesn't care about home or road games like other teams, in fact they seem to play much better on the road at least in the last 2 years. Anyway, for me, any team winning the championship is fine except the Rockets and the Bucks. These two teams do nothing but chuck up threes. Why do they shoot so many more 3's than the team with possibly the best 3 shooters ever? The reason why GS can win games even with Curry shooting like he was Westbrook is because they can score in a many different ways. 3's beat 2's but the playoffs are also games of nerves and Houston chocked completely on game 7, at home, last year because they only know how to attack one way, Harden dribbling for 15 seconds and someone chucking a contested 3 or a 3 from way far behind the 3 point line.
The Bucks are similar, It's Giannis running against people, kicking to someone and that someone just chucks a 3 even if full covered. A finals between Houston and the Bucks would be the most boring finals in history probably, even more than Cleveland getting assfucked by the Spurs in 2007.

I'm rooting for Denver to win the west and Toronto to win the east even if it's unlikely.

Nice

there is no adjustment they could make that would win them the series
their 2 main stars can't score in the playoffs, and the rest of the team can't dribble and rely on those 2 driving and scoring to get their looks

There are actually tons they could make, D'antoni just leaves his players out to choke

go ahead

>I’ll unironically take the warriors
you'll take them up the ass you gay bitch

Stop leaving Capela out there to be dominated, Faried actually has a better impact on the team and knows how to play in the NBA, it becomes clear Capella is just a converted football player in a series like this.

Don't let PJ Tucker play 35 minutes and score 0 pts

Take the ball out of Harden's hands in clutch situations, he's been so unclutch this season

Reduce Chris Paul's minutes, Austin Rivers has a better (+/-) rating on the team than him

Move the ball better instead of ISO, the games last season that they took off the Warriors were due to Spurs style ball movement, and Eric Gordon and Ariza making open shots

If Harden is bricking shots, sit him, Giannas and Kyrie were both 0/3 and 0/6 last night and their coaches sat them, D'antoni just leaves Harden out there in the hope he'll pull it round

Going off true (+/-) Rockets best line up would be

Rivers, Harden, Gordon, Green, Faried

>Stop leaving Capela out there to be dominated, Faried actually has a better impact
can't be serious, faried is one of the worst defenders for his position and just meme rebounded his way onto a second contract
>Don't let PJ Tucker play 35 minutes
literally their only good wing defender
>Take the ball out of Harden's hands in clutch situations
i would as well if they had kyrie or durant or lebum on their team but they don't
>Reduce Chris Paul's minutes, Austin Rivers has a better (+/-) rating on the team than him
why im i still reading this
>Move the ball better instead of ISO, the games last season that they took off the Warriors were due to Spurs style ball movement
literally the major narrative throughout the series was both teams playing iso, houston bcuz its their game and warriors because rockets switched everything
chris paul had more juice year ago, could penetrate and dish better, that's about it
>D'antoni just leaves Harden out there in the hope he'll pull it round
they literally have no one to dribble the ball when he's out of the game, the midget can't create any separation and rivers turns the ball over for every bucket/assist he makes
>Rivers, Harden, Gordon, Green, Faried
even quinn cook would be dunking on that shit of a lineup

You haven't done the analysis, Houston is a terribly run team, Warriors in 5

go back to divegrass

HAHAHAHA

CHUCKETTES GONNA GET SWEPT. AT LEAST PUT UP A FIGHT NIGGA, LIKE DAMN.

CLIPPERS > CHUCKETTES

wow shaq is such a fucking snowflake

The Brit is right. Also, the Rockets just flat out lack discipline which is another coaching problem. The first quarter they played sloppy, horrific basketball and had like 9 turnovers and also forgot how to get rebounds. Failing at fundamental basketball is completely inexcusable in the playoffs. Since we are stuck with Paul's retarded contract that guarantees the bench will be shit forever, we could at least fire Dantoni and get a better coach. Someone that actually disciplines players when they fuck up would be nice.

ouch

NBA isn't a sport, take it to Yea Forums or Yea Forums

Why does everything have to be about arguing and insulting each other? The Rockets are just less talented than the Warriors but they're not an embarrassment.

They are an embarrassment. The warriors aren't close to playing at 100%. They should have taken at least one of those games. It comes down to crap coaching.

Yeah, the Warriors are just that much better than them. They're very good. But it doesn't mean they're an embarrassment. Are all teams ever an embarrassment?

>top leaving Capela out there to be dominated, Faried actually has a better impact on the team and knows how to play in the NBA, it becomes clear Capella is just a converted football player in a series like this.

I agree that Faried is playing well.

>Don't let PJ Tucker play 35 minutes and score 0 pts

Their best Durant defender by far and their best rebounder. Yes, he could be scoring better but without him the team still sucks.

>Take the ball out of Harden's hands in clutch situations, he's been so unclutch this season

You know this isn't a realistic thing to do.

>Reduce Chris Paul's minutes, Austin Rivers has a better (+/-) rating on the team than him

Good joke

>Move the ball better instead of ISO, the games last season that they took off the Warriors were due to Spurs style ball movement, and Eric Gordon and Ariza making open shots

This is the problem with the team, but that's not something that can be fixed with game-to-game adjustments. "All right guys, just play completely differently!"

>If Harden is bricking shots, sit him, Giannas and Kyrie were both 0/3 and 0/6 last night and their coaches sat them, D'antoni just leaves Harden out there in the hope he'll pull it round

Yeah because they're not gonna win without Harden scoring.

>Going off true (+/-) Rockets best line up would be
>Rivers, Harden, Gordon, Green, Faried

c'mon bro, you're better than that

The rockets are an embarrassment because their best player makes no attempt to play basketball, he just flails his arms and legs around and begs for foul calls.

When you have like 10 turnovers in one quarter, you are an embarrassment.

What shall be the NBA final and why Jokic x Antetokounmpo?

They played like shit. 17 TOs is inexcusable.

>"""greatest lineup ever""" has to resort to gouging opponents eyes out to win
hmm ... really make me think

Yup. They either get Harden to flop for the foul or shoot it from three. 40 3-pt attempts in one game is excessive.

>flopden got his excuse for losing game 2
whats the excuse going to be for game 3

at this rate drayboon is going to sucker-punch harden every possession while the refs turn their backs and cover their eyes

wtf i love the refs now

Yeah, damn refs made the Chuckettes turn the ball over 17 times. Let me guess, it was the ref's fault the Chuckettes missed 27 3's in a row in WCF of 2018.

and they still only lost by six. think about it logically

Right. Harden is a perennial choker. He's the Clayton Kershaw of the NBA. He's a regular season babby.

If the Warriors were actually in trouble, their lineup would wake up and elevate their play.

LelBron can't be #1, he's not in the playoffs. Don't buy the Nike marketing hype.

Just imagine how bad the rockets will be next year when Gordon leaves and CP3 declines even more.

I'd pay to watch this.

Doesn't Eric Gordon suck though?

He's off and on, but he's still better than the rest of the bench.

>and they still only lost by six
i love seeing this cope after every loss. "i only lost the race by 0.3 seconds!" well, that's how much you tend to lose by. be glad that you didn't lose by 100 points i guess? congrats?

what? the warriors injured the opposing teams best player??? whoa that's crazy I cant believe they would do that!!!!

This is the dumbest cope, remember that OKC autist who would always post the reverse Westbrook gif coping similarly after game 1 against the Blazers

“We only lost by single digits and we shot like absolute shit,” maybe there’s a reason you shot like absolute shot and turned the ball over more than a dozen times? Maybe your shit team sucks cock?

Blind hate and salt

it ain't over until it's over

>Iggy is 35
Looks like Iggy is sort of like Tim Duncan, Manu, and others where he will be playing till he's 40. I mean he's their second best player right now, he plays the best D on Harden from all of the warriors and his playmaking is underrated as fuck.

Have you watched the Knicks? Even an amateur viewer would cringe st that defence

He's always been one of my favorite players, and I'm really happy for him that he found the perfect role, on a great team. He was good in Philly, but it was unfair to expect him to be a superstar and #1 option after Iverson left.

Tried watching the game with my pops yesterday, watched both teams run up and down the court and brick three threes in quick secession and we just changed the station. Hope the WCF is better

what was your pops favorite boomer team?

The Celtics

I hate /nba/ because they always say dumb emotional shit like Iggy is too old and looks like shit because he’s not doing shit in the regular season. It’s like nobody watched GS play like shit the entire regular season last year, when you’re going to multiple finals you’re not caring about that kind of shit. People here really gotta stop making emotional wishful thinking takes and getting exposed later

klay often looks frustrated with him

they know they are fucked. harden is a regular season baby. chris paul contract is one of the worst in the league.
they only thing they can enjoy for the next few years is harden iso step backing during the regular season while cp3 is getting paid 40 millions a year.

Why did they pay CP3? He’s shit

But he's in all those tv commercials, he must be good

Not sure why more teams don't just do this, I can understand you might feel bad doing this against an honest team but against the warriors? I would feel no guilt diving on a loose ball and "accidentally" dislocating steph's shooting arm

Teams DO try to do that to Steph. Why do you think he avoids getting in loose ball scrums and works so hard to make space before he takes shots even though he's perfectly capable of draining 3s right in these scrubs eyes? Did you ever watch the warriors early playoff bids? Teams just beat curry down til his body gave out routinely they've had to modify their whole offense to negate this strategy that teams use.

Warriors are better because they are exploiting the fact that you can't leave Steph alone.

Opponents should really play the way they are being played. Let Steph chuck 30 shots and see what happens. Like you said, Stephs percentage has been low recently. Unless he gets hot and racks up 30+ points. You actually have a fighting chance.

Why are all the head coaches in the playoffs white?

Why would we be seething? We didn’t get blown the fuck off our home floor by bombston

Just the remaining ones

How true is it that every championship team needs an enforcer a la Draymond Green?

The CP3 contract was a gamble that clearly was a mistake, but I can at least see the reasoning. Last year, CP3 played well enough to let the Rockets take GS to 7 games. The idea was that the window to win was closing, so just pay CP3 now and hope you get a couple of more good years out of him and deal with the shit contract later. The problem is that Paul aged a million years in the off season and is a shell of his former self. He went from being an elite player to just an above average guy and the stats back this up. They didn't even get one more elite year out of him plus they are stuck with this shit contract. The window to win was last year. The gamble failed.

>watching a rigged league
nah i quit consuming this garbage when i was a kid in 02 when they proved they werent legit

I used to hate the clippers, but i think i just really hated CP. Fuck CP, Fuck harden, and fuck the rockets

I would have given him a two year with maybe a team option for the third, no reason to give him that crippling long contract. He’s not gonna age gracefully like Jason Kidd because he’s 5’10, all that defense is gonna be gone soon and then you’ll just have shooting and IQ for 40mil

Because the Rapshits are going to lose in 6

Aka he gets away with fouling

Paul wouldn't take anything less than a max. I personally would have told him to fuck off, but I can see why they did it.

>siakunt

I expect Warriors to win Saturday because they actually have rest now. Prior to the series, they had a 1 day rest after a Game 6 win.
Clearly Clippers gave the Warriors a run for their money. At least Clippers played ball and not tried to foul each possession

Why wouldn’t he?

Lmao you don’t even really believe that

NBA players association would need to say something, which wouldn’t come until the next CBA. NCAA makes too much money from guys like Zion staying for that year.

Is Jimmy Butler elite?

I do. I know the Sixers will win both games in Philly, then the Raptors will rebound but melt down and lose by 40 in game 6 in typical Raps fashion.

If the Rockets are going to win any game in the series, it'll be game 3. If they lose that, then you'll get Harden in an elimination game which guarantees he'll do nothing but flop.

This. As a Clippers fan I always had this weird thing about CP3, like I always knew he was good, but his nonstop bitching and attitude, constant injuries, insecurity about his small size and choking tendencies made me realize hes a huge fag, and im glad that hes gone.

It's because of guys like Zion that I imagine the One and Done rule will never go away. The NCAA's missed out on guys like Kobe, Dwight, LeBron and some others and I'm sure that they don't want that to happen again.

It's just that for once in a generation guys like Zion that transcend highschool and college ball, they should be able to go right on over and not risk blowing their legs out playing against scrubs in the NCAA. But at this point it's just a pipedream. It's either college or go overseas and spend a year like Muiday and that Ball kid.

as head of the players union one of his duties is to get the max amount of $ for the players so he needed to seek max. If he took less than that then every max negotiation from here on out would have the teams saying that the max is bad and even the players union rep passed on it even though he qualified.
Sucks for the Rockets but they're stuck now

Lamelo is going to be 6’11 with genuine guard skills, not just handles. Teach that guy to play defense and you have an all NBA player fresh out the box

Maybe back in the old days or mid 00's but in the modern league your enforcers need to be able to pass, shoot and all that stuff. They can't just be "defend the rim and grab rebounds" guy.

>At least Clippers played ball
this is true. It is actually less embarrasing to be a Clippers fan today than a Rockets fan.

I would move up kyrie to 9th place and westbrook to 15 but otherwise its pretty accurate

thanks for the (You) kraut bro :^)

if it sustains you spiritually, fine by me. the lord giveth.

another play off round, CP3 ghost as always, why is he considered elite, when he completely disappears in every single play off game ?

I remember he always had like a 60 overall rating and low potential in those older 2ks, would always use him and Middleton as filler to get rid of bad contracts

Longevity and that’s it, he was very good in the regular season for a very long time but did less than Melo in the playoffs, while Melo is far more criticized. He’s also very uppity and seems to forget he’s negro

I hate to break it to all you

Curry fans. But curry is simply a very overrated player at this point.

1] Curry plays much better in the regular season than in the playoffs. Why is that ? Because games get tough, defenders zone in and players play hard. This is when Curry is easily targeted and shut down , he simply doesn’t have the lethal quickness to blow by defenders and it’s rendered pretty much just a 3 point shooter , to make it matter worse, he shoots a lot of contested bad 3 point shots.

2- Hes a very weak defender, he’s the weak link of the Warriors stellar defensive lineup. You know how potent the Warriors defense would be if they had a competent defender replacing Curry to go along with the lineup of Iguolda, Green , Klay and Kd? The opposition always attack curry on 1 on 1, Klay always get the toughest guard assignment to make Curry’s job easier.

3- Some people always bring up that they won without KD. But that was 2-3 years ago, a lot of stuff can change in 3 years period in the NBA. No doubt Curry had a monsterous 15-16 season, but they still didn’t win the title , Curry was again ineffective in the finals . green had 35-15-7game at game 7, and Warriors still lost. If a Lebrons teammate had 35-15-7, don’t think his team would lose the game . So stop dwell in the past , Curry isn’t even a top 7-8 players right now in the playoffs. I can easily name 8 players that are better than curry in the playoffs.

4- curry gets the most excuses of anyone. When he’s not playing well, shoots mediocre 6-16 while having limited impacts. All the curry fan boys would quickly come out and say he’s not 100%, he’s hurt. Dude, this is the NBa, stop treating Curry like a kid. he’s simply not that good without the 3 point shooting. He had troubles even beating capela off the dribble.

Continued in my next post

The Raptors also lost to the Magic...

5- KD is by far the better player than Curry, it’s not even debatable. If you can’t see that by year 3, sorry but you are simply blind NBa fans . When games are on the line , give the ball to Curry, who circles around the 3 point line and hoist up a contested 3 point shot or make a stupid careless pass and end up with a turnover? Or give it to Kd, who’s just a stone cold killer that can score in every way possible .

6- Curry statspad, I’ve seen many times when Warriors are in a comfortable lead, Curry would try some 1 on 1 and try to score. this is when defenders are not trying the hardest because the games are basically over .

And lastly, this is 2019, right now , Curry is living based on the past reputation. Sorry to break it to the Curry fans but Curry would just have 1 title if it wasn’t for KD. And that one title where he didn’t even win the finals mvp vs a depleted Cavs team . The dude is a decent player who took the league by storm with the small ball 3 point shooting at 15-16, once people caught on he simply just isn’t that good .

not convincingly, plus that was game 1 curse

Europeans are so delusional they actually think Ronaldo is a better athlete than NBA and NFL players

> His jump is higher than the average NBA basketball player, just one facet of an incredible athlete.
> This enables him to reach heights of 44cm (17 inches) in the air from a standing start and 78cm (31 inches) with a run-up

Hmm... intereresting. Lets verify that will we. I found stats for the recent NBA combine.

Ronaldo not only isnt better than average, he isnt even better than the WORST performer in the NBA. Worst combine standing vertical was 25 inches (63cm), and worst mac vert was 31 inches (same as Ronaldo)

Youve got to be kidding me... the so called "best athlete in soccer" cant even outjump the WORST athlete in all of NBA?

What a joke.

I actually just went out to my basketball hoop and found I could get my whole hand about 3 inches above the rim which is well over a 30 max vertical cause I have about an 8 foot standing reach.

Pathetic.

Americans are obsessed with their nigger’s athleticism rather than skill, this is why a player like Larry Bird who had mastered all facets of playing basketball is less appreciated by Americans than Lebron James who can not make a free throw but is bigger and stronger than his opposition allowing him to consistently barrel into the lane. People the world over like to see a skilled player dominate and imagine for a moment they themselves were nearly as talented, Americans like to imagine that big, strong, tall black could fuck their significant others with the force they slam down a basketball.

Basketball is appreciated primarily by negros fascinated by the squeak of the court and dazzling sneakers on the athletes, and white cuckolds who are obsessed with the muscles of the constantly evolving giga niga. Whereas everyone watches football.

Are you fucking retarded? MJ is widely considered the greatest basketball player who ever lived. Also, Larry Bird called him God. Literally. MJ is the most skilled and intelligent player with the best fundamentals too. There's a reason he carries the GOAT status, since he was a nearly perfect player. Fuck out of here with your racist bullshit. You mad that your crush fucked a black dude instead of you? Lame ass faggot.

Interested in the German history and culture mostly. Definitely want to check out some events if im there around oktoberfest or others. English garden looks nice, will keep those places in mind

I am a black dude, MJ was the most skilled player to ever live but could not register an average season shooting outside the arc whereas Bird was knocking down multiple triples a decade prior? MJ is the greatest player in history but his athleticism and skill separate him from the rest of the pack. Whereas most NBA fans would put Giannis or Zion Williamson above Bird all time due to their muscles and skin complexion.

This is absolutely true... I ve heard a lot of american retards tell me that if Lebron played soccer he would be the goat, which shows absolutely zero understanding of the sport.

Once KD leaves, the warriors will literally be worse than the Blazers.

>trust me I'm black

Americans think the reason they are not dominate in football or hockey is literally because niggers do not play. That’s it, they genuinely believe blacks to be inherently superior in sports due to their athleticism. For the American watching the negro run or jump is a sport within itself.

Also, did you NOT watch the 1992 NBA Finals? Did you NOT see MJ set an NBA Playoff Record for 3's hit in a half, that stood for damn near 2 decades? You know why he did that? Because people were saying that MJ can't shoot. That Clyde Drexler is the new way of the NBA, with an emphasis on the outside shot, and he's basically a "better MJ". That pissed off MJ, and he showed the world why he's the GOAT: he can WILL himself into being great at whatever he wants to be.

how could you possibly know how good a legendary athlete would be in another sport? it's totally based on your own opinion and imagination

Raptor gonna tear through the 'competition'

Thats probably an american truth as well, some white athletic inferiority complex, thats why the only white stars lately have been europeans, because they actually dont give a shit and just play the game.

Why is Europe obsessed with the most boring sport in the world? I ain't watching 20 guys get 90 minutes of cardio and "win" the game in a 0-0 tie.

Soccer isnt a sport for 6'10 dudes, bro. Thats a fundamental fact. Lebron got knocked out bya lack of air conditioners, he cant run a field up and down. Giannis started with soccer as well, but 7 ft tall people dont play soccer.

I think they mean that figuratively. As in: if our brst athletes went into soccer, we would dominate that sport too.
I don't think people literally think LeBron himself would be good at soccer.

feeling the need to tell americans that football is really amazing and great seems childish and stupid. it's at the same level as an american going into a pub in england and ranting about how they should all be watching american football

>* black guy swings off a tree branch and into a white woman*
Americans: Wow what technical skill!

>*white guy crosses his defender and hits a contested floater in the lane*
Americans: Lol he’s so slow he should have dunked it like my boy Jamaal Critavious

Well if you put it in that context, you do have a point, but any country can make an argument like this.
> India: If our athletes werent playing cricket, we would dominate soccer @

I mean that's true too. Not India but tons of places can say that. It's just our way of coping I guess.

that would be fair, if india had the history of dominating sports it actually cares about like the US does

chris paul is a faggot

James Harden is so weak

How is that less logical than the argument you give:
>I know exactly how well America and even specific American athletes would do in said sport.

My man Jokic with a 45 points triple double tonight

any team in the East can easily beat the Warriors

Kawhi Leonard is so efficient

Kawhi Lenord could score 3 goals per game easily if he played soccer. He would only need to play like 20 minutes per game to do it so his fitness wouldn't even be an issue.

Are you fags going to apologize when the Nuggers dab on the blazers again?

As if beating the Nurkic-less Blazers is an accomplishment...

I feel the same about both teams so I really dont care what the outcome is

Once again, I’m not a Curry hater. but the things those curry fan boys said just make me want to puke”. Curry is better than Lebron from 14-18? I get it that Curry had a monstrous 15-16 regular season . but one great season doesn’t mean you are playing at that high level every year in the career. Curry is so lucky that KD came immediately after the 15-16 finals debacle , so that he’s never been exposed at 2017,2018 and 2019. He’s been able to hide behind the most stacked team ever , it gives the illusions and impressions of Curry is playing like the 15-16 reg season Curry for 3-4 years now . If KD didn’t come to rescue, Curry would’ve been exposed , Warriors wouldn’t have won anymore titles and people can finally see Curry just had one great season which he took the league by storm with the small ball 3 point shooting .once other teams caught up with that , he’s just no longer as effective.

he clutch curry is carried by durant

but i like both teams?

this 2016 was an outlier season

it was more nba defenses slow to adjusting to curry and warriors meme style of play than it was currys actual ability

>curry is being carried by KD

>KD is a bitch for joining a superteam

pick 1 haters

People like you is why I made that post . Dude that was 3 years ago, you know a lot can change in 3 years in the NBA right ? Players become better or regress. That old Warriors team had an amazing system with 3 all stars and a bunch of good bench players . that team made the reputation for Curry, not the other way around .

Wait until he's the lone superstar on the Warriors next year. He will have another MVP season. He's still the greatest shooter that has ever lived.

you can pick both because one doesn't exclude the other

why the fuck cant it be both?
this. who taught that faggot logic?

is a fade worth it? i don't want to cut it like each 2 days but i find it stylish as fuck

Why tf does everyone think KD is going east?
You niggers believe anything.

People like you is why I made this post. Why keep bringing up the 2015-16 season? That was like 3-4 years ago. Don't you know alot can change in 3-4 years period in the NBA? My point was at this point Curry is a very overrated player who's living based on his past reputation. I didn't say anything about Curry not having a great season at 15-16. People are still dwell in the past, Curry is so lucky that he's never exposed. He had that MVP season at 2016, then immediately KD joined up to form the most stacked team ever probably. But if you watch the games , you would see Curry simply just isnt that great anymore especially in the playoffs when things get rough. He's easily shut down and limited. I'm not saying he's not a good player, he's a pretty good player but he's not at the MVP caliber level like Lebron, KD, Harden that people made him out to be. He's never exposed because KD joined up and form a super stacked team and continue winning championships obviously. So, it gives the illusion of Curry is still at this 15-16 form all those years. He's not. He had one great super year and that was it in his career. Again, I'm not a Curry hater, I just don't like people still putting Curry at the top2-3 players in this league. IMO, he's next tier with the likes of PG13,AD, Bulter,Lilliard and co. He doesn't belong in the super elite group.

Not really bro. It lasts a week and you pay top dollar for a nice ass fade.

how is it a superteam then if curry isn't a superstar?

is kawhi the only one who has a shot at guarding kd?

pretty sure thats all nba games these days

can't get over the fact that these two teams made the playoffs and the lakers didn't

Where does Joe Dumars rank amount the best NBA players? Top 50? Top 100? Isiah Thomas is always up there but I think you could argue that Joe Dumars was a much better defensive player than Thomas

Guys can we pool together enough money to sponsor EJ's stat of the night?

isiah was the 5th best player on his team, total fraud

reminder your team only has to shoot a few percent higher from 3 to win an NBA playoff game in 2019 the year of our lord

Knicks being the Knicks will cancel that out. Besides, they're already getting Melo back, why would they need KD???? :^)

wtf i thought memeball was supposed to produce high scoring games.... why are all the scores in the 90s??

he ruined his legacy with his shitty front office performance

Smoked like three bowls and don’t feel the least bit high. What went wrong?

Exhale through your nose at least once

You have built a tolerance

The rockets will reverse sweep

Still a favorite

someone has to be a Harden fan to not like Durant? lots of people don't like Durcan't, he's a whiny, easily-offended little bitch who ran like a coward and only makes jumpshots against people smaller than him, which is most people but still.

The (You)s

Look in a mirror for the current roster

Joe Dumars was the GM who assembled the 04 Pistons. He didn't finish great but his performance as a GM was far from shit.

>middleton
wtf?

m.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq8-fEvSOIE

old fag Blazers fan here and watched all the post season Detroit Portland games, 2 games in person. Dumars was an assassin no doubt but not being the primary ball handler or defending the primary handler gave him a clear advantage over Thomas who was in charge of guarding the massively underrated Terry Porter who was arguably the best ball handler of the time (Payton was better imo, Stockton was 3). Terry warmed up dribbling two balls in a dead sprint end line to end line before every game and it was incredible. He would switch hands simultaneously during a sprint like it was cake, I still haven't seen anything like it. Zeke had to be 100% on both ends, Joe didn't so he could pick his spots, definitely an advantage. If Joe had to be 100% on both ends could he be as effective as Zeke? Most likely but we'll never know, but we do know that zeke WAS. So bottom line, Dumars could take possessions off and Isiah didn't have that luxury so I give the edge to zeke if only for consistency.

Replace Curry with the real Oakland homeboy Lillard and GS is already on the way to 4 peat.

Curry just cracks under pressure. Only his ankles cracks sooner.

>green had 35-15-7game at game 7, and Warriors still lost

That's why he ended up crying on the parking lot telling KD he needs him to join the team.

I will not be surprise though if Warriors ended up in the finals against a weak ass east team and they decided to always give Curry the ball so he finally wins FMVP.

Honestly Curry in the 2016 finals ranks second to LeChokes performance in 2011 for all time finals chokes.

Jordan is compared to Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Magic. LeBron is compared to Jordan.

Whoever goes to the conference fnals will get ripped to shreds.

I'm terrified for my nuggies
Dubs probably sweep us, rockets are just a terrible matchup

The 76ers aren't frauds they just won a road playoff game shooting in the 30s with an injured Embiid and a shortened bench.They will work Siakam and Leonard to death and win the series.

Bucks got it guys?
If they get past boston I think that means they re already in the Final. But reaching the Final should be enough of a step up from their previous seasons. Do they got it guys? Can they make it just to lose from Warriors?

I quit smoking three weeks ago to get my piss clean but I cant wait to start again, it always feels like the first time after not smoking for months.

I had took a break for months then smoked some shake, didn’t get high 1%. Just brought some “gas” from a wise cracking black guy at my job that looks like Chris Rock and only got high like 10%

Taking three bowls before work and shit just to feel OK

mean gene told me on the WCW hotline that vince mcmahon is pissed about the crowd reaction to the Houston Midcarders vs the Golden State Cenas so he's cutting the series short and it's booked to be a 4-0 sweep

Go buy some fucking moon rocks. Before I quit my tolerance was super high, so I decided to try moon rocks. One fucking hit and I was on the moon. I live in a legal state so top tier weed is easy to come by, your problem is probably that the stuff youre smoking is low tier mids when you need a good strong OG hybrid

>convincingly lose
>blow a 20 point lead and win by only 5 when the raptor besides Kawhi shoot 16%
Total frauds, those sixers

Why does the media always talk about KD's free agency, but not Kawhi's?

Because Kawhi doesn’t fuel trade rumours by acting like a diva

Because KD is a drama magnet and stirring his impending free agency pot causes more flare ups from his donkey teammate

everyone already knows kawhi is going to the lakers no matter what

Because Kawhi doesn't get asked repeatedly about his free agency.

Who else ready to see The Rockets choke a home game to the Warriors?

He doesn’t get asked because he doesn’t answer. KD acts like a bitch and throws a hissy-fit every time he gets asked about it, and the media loves it so of course they keep prodding him. Kawhi has always just said “next question.” And that’s literally all KD had to do as well to stop the vultures from droning on endlessly about him

>why does the media hold up their mics to a guy that prides himself in being open and “””””””real””””””” without the filters and constantly blabbing away about his life and stuff on podcasts.
Gee idk user, usually he’s so tight lipped I don’t think the KGB could make him talk.

you know, the problem isn’t even about if KD should do the Lebron/Kawhi method of being a stonewall or keep being the center of drama, but the issue is his blatant hypocrisy where he suddenly flips on the people he asked to record him like he actually didn’t want to say anything to them and that suddenly they’re twisting his shit up. I’m not sure if that’s actual retardation or a mental disorder when you have as little sense of perspective as KD does.

Lakers aren’t even in the discussion, it’s Clippers and Raptors, that’s it. Literally no-one wants to play with lewashed and the toilet crew

>he thinks the raptors have a chance
lmao, only way Kawhi resigns is if the rapties win the chip, and even then it's unlikely as Kawhi already won a chip before on the spurs and doesn't give a shit about rings cause he knows he can win one anywhere he goes.

He's said multiple times he doesn't want to stay in canada long term, and wants to live in california and promote his brand. Clippers don't have the same brand appeal as LA. Kawhi would literally become the face of the league next to Lebron if he became a Laker. I'm talking #1 selling jersey, movie deals, discussion of being the best player in the world after lebron declines...

>He's said multiple times he doesn't want to stay in canada long term, and wants to live in california and promote his brand
Provide me one (1) instance of him saying this
He wouldn’t have signed with fucking new balance if his brand was the driving factor. IF he leaves Toronto it’ll be because they choke in the playoffs or because he wants to be near his family. One thing he’s said repeatedly all year is that he wants to win, and that he really only cares about winning. Lakers are complete losers, no way he’d go to that bum-ass team over the Clippers. Lakers will be lucky if Vucevic deigns to take a max contract from them lmao. Have you already forgotten how utterly pathetic your team looked this year? How shitty and broken the chemistry was? What an absolute joke the organization is?

Yeah I live in Atlanta and the weed here is mad niggerish thus far, my uncle says he’s got that gas though but I’m scared to drive over there

Can you retire if you still have like a year or two left in your contract?

Game 3 will show if they have what it takes or not, but I think they're not getting past Toronto should they meet them in ECF.

If everyone except them doesn’t shoot an abysmal 16% again filthadelphia is getting blown off their home floor. If Freddy even improves from 0 to 5 points or Serge from 2 to 7 it’s ogre

It’s more like if they don’t play astoundingly bad. They don’t even have to play good to win this series, just not play bad.

Kevin Wayne Durant is the clear MVP of these playoffs so far.

>verbally owned

KD here. There are only two people in this thread right now, me and you. I've made hundreds of posts and you've replied to every single one of them. You literally cannot win an argument against me because I am omnipresent. I run this general, kid. Do yourself a favor and close the browser.

Denver is my reserve ever since the Lakers haven't made it in the playoffs, decided about that when the season started, so quite the contrary. And no, there's not a lot of feud between Croats and Serbs when it comes to what happened in the 90s, only politicians and morons are still clinging to that shit for their own gain.

Embiid is going to take Siakam out of the game again, and Simmons limits Kawhi enough. Enjoy seeing your offense run through Marc Gasol and all your bench players throw up brick after brick.

He's a playoffs MVP ever since he joined the Warriors.
