Hmmmm

See, the truth is very glaring

How can one tell me without KD, GSW beats a prime lebron in 2017 and 2018?

See what a Lebron in his prime did to a GSW team now..nearly swept them and in blowout games too
Who knows, maybe they win maybe they lose but adding KD meant they were absolutely sure they would win no matter who Lebron got on the other side. I think that's what people also take for granted. It didn't matter who Bron added they were not beating KD, Steph

I mean they couldn't beat a Kawhi with Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry. It's reasonable to assume they don't beat Lebron either

They're pissed he left after that Toronto loss
.
That's why they say we didn't need him,

That's why Gianni's would be wise to think twice about coming to the warriors...I feel it has become a toxic place

Tomorrow now, they'll say they didn't need Giannis

Bunch of liars
Whether we like it or not size matters. It's not coincidence Steph and Zeke are the only guys in history with multiple rings that were the best players on their squad 6'3 or smaller

What KD did was ensure that against the absolute best the Warriors were bulletproof.

Nobody is competing with Steph we know he's better than KD but some Warriors fans went to the other extreme claiming they didn't need him at all and any other wing would have replicated what he did even using Andrew Wiggins as proof. I said no, light skinned Steph and Klay are not beating cyborgs like Lebron and Kawhi. KD is basically the Mjolnir you need when facing the truly elite

Hahaha well Giannis is a made man on his own rights so they can't say too much about him

No one said he was a nonfactor.
We said his points meant nothing with no input from his supporting cast....
And that is exactly the issues the warriors had.
This is playoff basketball. Your support cast is never always going to show up. What you want is your big guns to turn up to the point that the input needed from the support cast is minimal.

Look at the year Cavaliers did remontada. Kyrie and Lebron scored 41 points a piece. Do we even know what the supporting cast did? No! Cos it didn't matter. Curry and KD plus the rest of what you have will not lose in 6 to the Lakers my guy.

There's levels to this thing I keep telling you

This isn't correct Amigo. The warriors team that won two straight Titles had a Good Klay thompson that can give you 20 point plus every night. They had Iguodala, Green was at his peak, damn, the backup point guard was Livingston.
Curry is the only player on the warriors roster that averaged 20 plus point in this series, correct me if I'm wrong.
Booker and KD averaged 25plus points and still lost, they also had Chris Paul, who isn't his best but atleast better than these other Bums om the warriors....
Remove wiggins and insert KD, and this team still loses....
Relax. Klay Thompson was good then but I'm telling you even now they didn't need him to go Supernova most times. Free Iguodala and Livingston talk those guys combined are not giving you more than the bench guys are currently giving you.

Green was the 4th option on the team, they didn't need his best every night.

Guy I'm telling you there's no duo in the league that beats the Nuggets with the rest of that Suns roster. Chris Paul played just one game before getting hurt. Booker was dropping 37pts on 62% shooting nothing more him and KD could do

But I'm telling you KD and Steph with the surrounding parts is different from Steph and Andrew Wiggins. My guy there are levels to this. Beating Luka and Jalen Brunson or Tatum and Brown is not the same as beating Lebron and Anthony Davis my guy. You're seeing even the free throw disparity and you're still telling me KD wouldn't make difference?

With KD we still lose the series. Poole was instrumental to last season's ring and he regressed badly.

Wiggins underperformed but he can be forgiven if Klay had covered up for him like he did for Klay last season.

KD would have been a nonfactor like he was for the Suns.
Hmm. You people are letting una beef for KD cloud una judgement so oh.

Jordan Poole had just 1 good series which was the Nuggets series. This one we're pretending like he was one upcoming star is not necessarily accurate.

KD was not a nonfactor for the Suns. The Suns like the Clippers had absolutely no chance.
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:29am On May 13, 2023
Skrrrrrrr:
Bro. Even at KDs best, the other guys still showed up. We just saw KD and Booker against the Nuggets fold in this exact number of games.
No matter how, other players need to show up.
This is on Poole, Draymond and Klay...
Even KD won't help this team. He and curry would just go for 40 and still lose like the suns.
Lol guy did you just say folded? I was expecting gentleman sweep. Remove KD. Insert Giannis, Insert Lebron into that Suns team. They were not beating the Nuggets. Be fr

Curry and KD with the surrounding parts on the Warriors would have been enough. Cos guess what KD would have been able to get to the line

The series no really concern Durant or even Wiggins. It is Poole and Klay. Wiggins can be excused because of last season.
You're missing the point. Poole is a non factor if you had Durant. Klay was never going to be the same guy.

I will give Klay another year though but Poole absolutely has to go. Hell dash the other team picks just to offload him and move aggressively for some size. Draymond has player option so him staying another year will not kill y'all not like he has any athleticism to lose

SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:16am On May 13, 2023
Anyway I hope Warriors fans that downplayed the importance of KD can see the difference now between Durant and Andrew Wiggins. Obviously the Warriors have shown they can win without him, hell they beat him but do you really think you would have a dynasty without Kevin Durant? Your guess is as good as mine.

The Nuggets will fold. I don't care what the analysts say. Don't trust those guys.
Sincerely I don't see them winning but I'm open to being proven wrong
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:54am On May 13, 2023
Easily called it. Don't know why we were pretending the Warriors had a chance. Said it here that the Warriors are Lebron's regular customer

Some of the things that makes this Lakers team so dangerous is their relative youth. Think about it. Lebron is the only old guy on the team the rest are literally 30 or younger and this is why I was never buying the underdog nonsense people were selling.

Also this team has role player guys that can create their own offense. This is the edge I give them over the Nuggets, Russell, Reaves, Schroeder, Walker. All guys that can score a bucket on their own power if all else fails.

Lastly and a very underrated angle niggas slept on. More than half of this roster are playing for their long term job security. These niggas have incentive to perform. Walker, Russell, Reaves, Schroeder, Hachimura. Playing well or average is the difference between 9 and 8 figure bar

Lmao una dey so emotional dawg. Shey Steve Kerr and Yankee media wey dey point out flops and complain about officiating too dey watch Boxscore?

Nobody said Lakers can't get more free throws. People are complaining about the disparity and embellishment that's all.

SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:37am On May 13, 2023
Lool. I was going to say the Warriors cannot possibly start as badly as the Grizzlies did in the last round. I guess I was wrong

Anyways Lakers in 6 just as I called it
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:47am On May 13, 2023
Make una calm down. Steph has proven his superiority to KD already. Last year sealed that argument. Can still agree KD was integral for the Warriors dynasty, saying another player would have done it is pointless. Warriors went after KD. And if you're counting 4 rings for Steph I don't think you should be dissing KD for his contributions to those rings.

Anyway una suppose dey focus on survival not this jejune argument.

Anyway in case of elimination. Do you as Golden State try to swap DeAndre Ayton for Jordan Poole? I mean two potentially bad contracts, two young players who might need a fresh start. Who knows?

Khanben:
Something is either a foul or not, there is no manning up. You can play physical defense without fouling, the idea that ignoring clear fouls make a great game is seriously bad because that leaves a game open to manipulation. We all can remember Lakers vs Kings how the Refs handed the series to Shaq and Kobe, because they were selectively choosing when not to call a foul a foul.
There was a whole lot of flopping too. Schroeder was a culprit. And overall that Game 4 own was very bad. No true basketball wants to see that

Kerr did the right thing pointing it out and ensuring his team's survival for another day

I think its worse than that. Dude is lazy. AD is unfocused, has some personality issues, and gets lost in games. Ayton has figured out a way to look like he is playing hard while mailing it in. Like KAT
KAT too na another point of reference. Two #1 picks that have been handed keys to the kingdom and thus no real urge to prove anything. This is why scouts gotta also look at the intangibles

Ayton is useless imo. I think they are better off without him.
I almost feel like we've seen his last game with the Suns.

Something is wrong somewhere. It feels mental but he strikes me as someone with a low motor for an athlete at least, I'm sure it's much higher than most of us including myself, I'd say an even worse version of AD. In that AD is never useless defensively unlike Ayton that can be useless on both ends

In basketball coming back from 16 points down is normal nah ,I have witness this so many times from different teams from euro league spanish ACB and co
You don't understand. It's not that they merely came back from 16pts and no it's not that normal

It's that they were down 0-2 in the series losing their first two games at home. So they had to go away to win 2x. Just one loss and it was game over

What is most important after increasing revenue is cutting cost of governance . If we like make trillions in revenue , if we keep spending as a nation at this rate ; we will end up getting poorer as a people .

The government needs to prioritize our actual needs over our wants.

I followed the sentencing of Ekweremadu and they mentioned how the man owned almost 40 houses abroad and officially he earned a little less than 400k pounds. I’m sure he must have used his various positions in house committees to help himself acquire most of those properties .

I know someone who got paid by FERMA for a job that was never done. Mr A has a relative ; Mr Q who works with FERMA. So Mr Q just requested for Mr A’s BVN, asked him to open a bank account with a micro-finance bank that partners with FERMA. The money being disbursed is under the guise of FERMA needing to construct roads in some parts of the country and they needed to contract unskilled laborers to clear bushes to allow them construct roads.

When the funds were disbursed to Mr A, he took 40% and returned 60% to Mr Q and his associates in FERMA . They had several people do this for them. Funny enough , no clearing job was done anywhere ; just money was pulled out of the system.

This is how we spend some of these funds they keep going to World bank and China to borrow . If they don’t block these leakages, we will keep borrowing and even increase revenue yet we will have little or nothing to show for it.
How do you own almost 40 houses abroad ffs.
