Nobody said Curry doesn't play well in playoffs. Some people just question his off and on games in finals only. You're overreacting

I can bring their posts but I don't want to be quoting them.

So lets just let it slide.

Guy you don't know Nene so just bone. Go to any forum and liken Nene to McGee and watch all your credibility vanish in an instant. Nene is a more versatile scorer and better defender.

Go to any forum and repeat this and come and give feedback

Tip-ins/Putbacks, Dunks, Alley-hoops. That is essentially his offence for The Rockets and Javale does any less for GSW?

I am not arguing who the better player is. I insist that offensively, for their present teams, they are virtually cut from the same cloth. I may have been hyperbolic in saying he was close to Shaqtin a fool but that is about it.

Nene can do more and does more than Putbacks and alley oops. It seems you are mixing him up with Capela. Nene has a post game and actually puts the ball on floor. Capela na him you go dey compare to McGee not O.G Nene

Nene can score buckets and generate offense with or without Harden

Can't call Kim K a gold digger tbh. She just has a severe case of Jungle Fever. She is probably richer than Ye.

Janet on the other hand. Stayed exactly 5 years with the man and left when the $500m could kick in. Eyin obirin e kala gan oo

It was obvious she was all about the money. left him after 5years and 3months. she couldnt even wait for a year. lol

I have a question/ analogy for everyone particularly critics of Russell Westbrook

With other dynamics remaining constant(Coaching, players, and style of play), remove and replace Russell Westbrook with any current NBA superstar not named Lebron James, and convince me the NBA super star would take this Thunder roster to a 6th position in the dreaded western conference.

I need a name replacement, not named Lebron James.

This season he wasn't durable enough, he would have to play every single game like Westbrook with very heavy minutes. No days off for rest or injury.

Well, maybe if you don't fight your centers for easy and contested rebounds I'm sure team oriented players like Harden and Curry (barring injuries) will do a great job. Except if you mean they can't easily add 2-3asts per game and there is LeBron.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:49am On Apr 26, 2017
This is just terrible. Terrible. Like how dare anyone with a basketball mind put this on russell?

Great pick, but he would have to play exceptional defense especially on the opposing PG. Lets even keep rebounding away, and hope the others rebound the ball for him.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:03am On Apr 26, 2017
Russell and his D-League teammates. What happened to player development coaches? Or Head Coach not knowing he basically had a one man army battalion throughout 82 games? Oh!! They became blind cos they were too busy digesting TDs.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:06am On Apr 26, 2017
Harden plays like a viper about to prey on his victim.

Kawhi, Harden, Curry.

And yes, Harden's defence has been better than RWs this season even though it is still subpar.

Edit: A properly coached and Healthy Anthony Davis.

Russ just givin me hope...he should be on the court til the last minute if necessary..
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:51am On Apr 26, 2017
Quick question here, is the league going to review this three point players try to draw?

I think it is unfair actually how the greatest three point shooter ever in steph curry does not even get this kind of calls. I mean if you call all of these for harden, why not curry? klay? angry angry

MVP calls. Him and RW enjoy the privilege.

Meanwhile, who else is noticing that the Rockets bunch don't shoot as well as it is often touted? I mean OKC has outshot them from 3 in this series. It is painful to watch.

I am talking about the three point play(Three pointers) the rocket players are getting. Unless you and i are not watching the same game, i can't count how many time okc players got that call. You really had to mention russell.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:04am On Apr 26, 2017
I know the play you are referring to and I am saying both Harden and Russell get those calls. They feign attempting a 3-point shot and then flail, tossing the ball in the air and the refs oblige by awarding them 3 FTs.

In this game I am watching, OKC is benefiting largely from refereeing help that I suspect Silver wants a game 7. This second paragraph is unrelated to my first but just needed to state it. Some of the calls are ridiculous.

Russell is not getting those calls, anyways, like i said, is the league going to review it. so You are basically saying since russell is getting it too we should let it slide?

Curry is a clean player who doesn't go out of his way to con refs. Its almost like the flailing would mess with his stroke. If he played like Harden and at times Westbrook he would be averaging 40 a night
