Roland17: That's like saying "Of course we got robbed, but they only stole money, nothing valuable". But as much as I would love these picks because they can help us get boogie, I don't think you should give up anything else and I heard the cavs are also cooling on their earlier demand. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:19pm On Aug 30, 2017 |
Ersan: Robbed? of what exactly? The Cavs are cooling their demands because D. Ainge drew the line on Saturday leading into yesterday's meeting with the Cavs. You are not dealing with the Nets or Sixer's here bro.... In-fact, the Celtics are not even giving up the first round pick anymore, they offered the Cavs the second round pick and that's it. The Celtics have massive experience when it comes to building a franchise, especially from draft picks. Well, we would happily award the Cavs the emotional victory for the trade, however, in truth, I am very comfortable with this trade. If the Cavs were so happy with the deal i doubt there would be any fuss about IT4's health especially if prognosis say he would be fine. |

^if the net pick Is no longer on the table the trade won't happen. no need for posturing |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:51am On Aug 31, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: The deal has been completed. The Celtics keep Tatum and Brown but loose the 2018 1st round unprotected pick and the 2020 2nd round pick. I am just glad this is over. I can finally welcome Kyrie.. |

Roland17:We should see how this trade goes. Did you guys lose the Nets pick? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:57am On Aug 31, 2017 |
Winning! Derrick Rose is our starting PG for the earlier parts of the season but it gets worse people, if (more like when) he gets injured we're stuck with Jose Calderon 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 8:20am On Sep 05, 2017 |
Legit question, how are Harden and Leonard higher than Curry? If it's just cos of last REGULAR season as criterion, okay. But if not... Na KD I blame sha, for stealing the wonder boy's thunder 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:00am On Sep 05, 2017 |
Decale: Lol I could understand a curry fan making a case for curry against harden but Kawhi? LOL! They're not even in the same league! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 2:04pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
Ersan: Lmaaoooooooo. I laughed for about 10 minutes before finding strength to type yo. In as much as you want to soothe your Curry hatred with that fan analogy, do not make that bolded statement again. The only thing and I mean only thing Kawhi has over Curry is DEFENSE. Just that. Everything else, Curry beats him in every category out there. But I don't see a Paul George with a 95 or John Wall too since they're both good 2 way players as well. 3 points, 2 points, paint, free throws, handling, assists, steals, clutch shots and every other gbogbo ti gbo. If those ratings were cos of last season, I may understand. But Westbrook and Harden had a better regular season than Bron, why aren't they 97 or 98? Ehn? In fact why is Wall not 94 too? Tell me ooo. Giannis is above Kyrie, Wall, Derozan and others. I don't know why I'm taking the game serious sef Una like to dey talk like say Curry just start last season. Someone that averaged 25ppg with 2 other players averaging 20+ppg. Meanwhile, Kawhi last season is just on par with Curry's first MVP season How people have forgotten Mr Chef Dazzler just because of KD? Chai Wake me up when Kawhi achieves half of what Curry has. Wake me up when Kawhi wins just one nba player of the month. Wake me up when you have the second best league player go out and you lead your team to an NBA best number of consecutive wins Wake me up when Kawhi gets a 30 PER Wake me up when Kawhi gets to an NBA Final Wake me up when Kawhi finishes 65% at the paint or 50/40/90 for the season Wake me up when Kawhi gets 4 free throws a game and still averages 30pts. 91% at the stripe Wake me up when you're the second best player in your team and nearly average a triple double in the finals Wake me up when Kawhi wins an MVP award. Or do that with the best NBA record in history while having third best PER in history and arguably the most dominant NBA regular season ever. Kawhi can also try the unanimous thing too while at it. Kawhi has the best potential this next season to win the MVP but until he does that, we can hold on with the hyperbole. Kawhi and Curry are not in the same league? FOH! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Wow, Decale, you said everything I was going to say so I just "liked" and "shared" what you wrote above. I can take Lebron and KD over Curry. But James Harden, Kawhi, West Brook? It pained me to my bone marrow. I love Kawhi more than the first basketballer I wrote there but he has to achieve things before they start raising him to the level everyone wants to pretend that he is at. His scoring numbers barring last season's are not fantastic. His highest assist in a game is 7 or 8 bro. He really only just became a good shooter and the only thing he does better, he does because of his height and strength; Dunk and defend the rim better. I would always remind people that for all KD's greatness, him and Westbrook did not win a ring. I mean even Kyrie and James got one in 3 years playing together but it was clear to all that KD and Westie just could not hit that mark. So I wonder why Curry became worse off simply because he helped KD achieve that? Even KD was not spared in the madness. The game rated him 96 yet gave him 97 in some previous editions. They seem to believe that he too became "less off" by playing with Curry. It is crazy. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Mynd44: 2:52pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
@Decale, Kawhi Remove the "wake me up when Kawhi gets into an NBA final" In 2014, he was in the final, won the finals and gotten the MVP. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:00pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
Mynd44: Bro, he did but we all know it was mega-hype as they could not find one player to crown the Cat-beller so they settled for him. We have made the argument here before that LBJ averaged 28ppg in that final to Kawhi's 16 or 17. The narrative that Kawhi stopped Lebron is really a hyperbole. Gregg Popovich stopped Lebron through systematic team basketball and even Tony Parker (if I am not mistaken) led your team in scoring. Going by that, it seemed in people's eyes that Kawhi had not fully earned his stripes and I think that is what Decale was referring to. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 3:10pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
Mynd44: Sorry for that. Wanted to type "Led his team to an NBA final" He deserves that MVP though |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:44pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
Ersan:Una too hype that guy abeg. Cavs fans that swore Kyrie was better than Curry are now saying Kyrie is overrated and Bron was his only ticket to relevance. I don't know what Kyrie is supposed to achieve with Dion Waiters and Anthony Bennett |

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:10pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
A40: Why do you think they are hating on Kyrie? because they know the replacements can not match Kyrie's contribution to that team. For 2 consecutive seasons, Kyrie was either better than all his team mates including Bron or at par with him. I have to agree with Decale's post about the ratings. Those players with higher ratings have nothing on Curry and that's the truth and that includes the present Bron. I am led to believe this is all about marketing and nothing more. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 5:24pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
I would really like to read what roland17 used to say bout kyrie before this trade.. he don join the Celts now him shit no dey smell again. I dey wonder the year LeBron go stop to be the leader for 2k rating? my guess na 2k20. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 5:26pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
I see people pouring out my mind about Kawhi. He's good but for me hasn't done any special thing. We will not hear word about his defense tho from guys like Barkley. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:39pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
the curry hate is uncalled for, and we know dem |
