SmooshCHN:I follow him on social media. Why he feels the need to respond to every troll that attacks him I don't even understand. How can you have that much success and be remotely bothered about how you are perceived? Kobe need to follow am talk |

If he dominates this year a lot of us would put him over Lebron (whose window is closing anyway) |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:54am On Sep 21, 2017 |
VomeSchakleton:Where did you hear this from? He's not doing all those to be ranked ahead of LeBron so that's out. He's doing it because, he's trying to justify his "weak Move" which is hard for a nice guy like him. Not everyone can make that move and still keep things cool both on the inside and out like LeBron. He needs to clear his head and get off social media. A40:You earn over $50M a year and still feel you should reply common people.. Talk about being haunted by conscience.. He accepted this season role last season. Why he needed to justify after 1 ring is immature. At least he was honest and didn't claim he was hacked. He needs to meet LeBron to lecture him about things like this and delete that Twitter and IG before season starts. |

SmooshCHN: You really think Durant doesn't want to be thought of as the best player in the league? You really think he isnt tired of always being second place? Why the need to justify that move now of all times? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:44am On Sep 21, 2017 |
Durant struggles with emotional insecurity and is constantly seeking external validation as a form of acceptance for his choices. Individual or team success only increases the burden of this insecurity as he is forced to constantly explain (writings under his brand shoes, alternative twitter handles to monitor comments about him, tough guy during press conferences) his success even when he seems likable. I don't think this would be the last especially if he continues to be successful. This weird behavior is definitely associated with a traumatic childhood experience, one that may have been highlighted by the deprivation of a necessity not necessarily food or shelter but maybe a relationship. This is more than just a basketball issue. #mypersonalopinion |

VomeSchakleton:He proved himself against Bron in the finals. Whether he is better than LeBron can never be admitted by majority of fans as they still remember he left OKC while he was up 3-1. If he cared about leading or being first place he wouldn't even think of Warriors. He has been trying to validate himself a long time since his move only that he got caught now ad apologized for it. Roland17, I'm sure he will stop. He was really embarrassed by his mess.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:20pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: And i'm saying this is what bugs him. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 2:57pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
Warriors will come the biggest winners of all this Durant's shit. I see him having a hell of a season trying to prove more with his basketball. He should forget the idea he's better than LeBron though. 2 Likes |

Eruditor:most basketball fans and analysts ignore the importance of curry to the GSW team,the fact that he dictates the pace of GSW attack.KD is a great score no doubt, moreso, his towering height singles him out for dominance.I have been following Curry's career and there is 1 quality he has that i admire, patience.I think he handled KD's presence well by stepping back,it effected the team's dominance throughout their title run.People wondered how they would play together, 1 of the two had to give in to the other,cos they are accustomed to different plays, unfortunately people don't care about the intangibles, the creator of the atmosphere of excellence, they only care about the tangibles in this atmosphere,but due to his singular ability to surprise the basketball world while he is not under pressure, as he did in his MVP seasons,I have a feeling that he will dominate offensively this season(ahead of KD), and his stats will be generally impressive. 4 Likes |

VomeSchakleton: I hope you don't mean the Warriors because the Cavs are still very short against the Warriors. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:46am On Sep 23, 2017 |
Roland17: Of course i do. Not on the same level, but i feel they are in a much better position than they were last season. Depth was the defining factor last playoffs IMO and this time the cavs have that, from jae crowder, derrick to dark horses like cedi osman, zizic and tavares. Kevin love looks like hes finally fitting in. And dont forget, the cavs might still get wade, or melo or heck even Boogie. A team like that plus a motivated lebron? I'll take any bet. 1 Like |

Golden State Warriors Roster Starters: Stephen Curry Klay Thompson Draymond Green Kevin Durant Zaza Pachulia Bench: Shaun Livingston Nick Young Andre Iguodala David West Javale McGee Reserve: Patrick McCaw Omri Caspi Kevon Looney Jordan Bell Damian Jones I don't think the Cavs are this close to this kind of depth.. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:36am On Sep 23, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: Cavs Starters: Isaiah Thomas JR Smith Lebron James Kevin Love Tristan Thompson Bench: Derrick Rose Shumpert Jae Crowder Kyle Korver Edy Tavares Reserves: Jose Calderon Cedi Osman Richard Jefferson Jeff Green Channing Frye Ante Zizic Then like i said, the possibility of melo or wade or boogie is not to be written off. May not be as good as the warriors but its miles ahead of their depth last season. You rate some of these warriors because you know them but you'll underrate a lot of these cavs because you dont know them. People like Cedi Osman who recently lit up the EuroBasket Championship, good offensively and defensively, Edy Tavares who is a ginormous defensive powerhouse and had 6 blocks in his first game or Zizic who is part of a promising generation of balkan players. Jeff green was a good experienced addition too. Derrick Rose has been very impressive so far according to cavs sources and you already know what Jae Crowder can do. Like i said, i'm optimistic. 1 Like |

Ersan:Melo/Cousins would make things better for y'all but please don't tell me you think Shumpert and a First pick for Demarcus Cousins or Carmelo is possible. Anyways, I hope the Cavs get these guys so there'll be no excuses if they don't make 2nd round. Wait!! Optimistic huh?? I'm just waiting for that part where Curry sits and Kerr asks Livingston to posts up your starting PG. Optimistic

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:48pm On Sep 23, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: Cousins will become a free agent next year so the pick alone might be enough for him, no need to throw in shumpert. And why would the cavs give up a pick for want-away Melo? SMH! I wonder when they blow a 3-1 lead this time who they'll start calling in the locker room to come save them, Kawhi? Bunch of soft as- bitxhes! 1 Like

With which salary cap? SmooshCHN, |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:54pm On Sep 23, 2017 |
Eruditor: The idea would be if they're getting boogie, they should get rid of TT. If they're getting Melo, or Wade, they should sign for the veteran min since they're ring chasing. |
