Blueelf: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 |
Blueelf: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 |
Skrrrrrrr: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 |
Skrrrrrrr: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? |
Android17: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. |
Skrrrrrrr: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 |
Android17: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 |
Na wa oh. Una no dey shame? Favorite tag dey fear you? Are y'all that much vajayjay? Typical Lakers fans I know are always boisterous and confident. Who are these imposters I'm seeing here. Smh |
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. |
SmooshCHN:Sincerely I don't see them winning but I'm open to being proven wrong |
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. |
Steph gotta get some help man |
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 |
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: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 |
KD, Kyrie, Harden (when they lose Game 7) learning bitter lessons. Sometimes you gotta love the one you with like the great Ron Isley said |
Roland17:Much ado about nothing. This series looking exactly like last year. Una go wipe them for house |
Roland17:Like Jackson like Perkins this Jokic matter lowkey don dey enter racial levels. The way they had been misyarnin about Jokic this entire season. Heaven help them if Philly choke let's see how they explain their MVP that cannot pass second round |
birdman: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 |
birdman: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 |
Roland17:Lol what did he say this time? I think he has accepted his fate at this point. 8 seasons without coaching any team? He was never gonna recover from that gap |
I hope the refs let them play tomorrow sha. Cos I thought this was playoffs where refs do swallow their whistle. We don't want to see 15-20 FT differential biko Let these guys Rumble ki elemi ko last |
So no Ayton no Chris Paul. Be like Suns dey face their own bad luck wey them benefit from the last round |
izzou:Hehehe this is like asking if you can leave your goat with your pet lion before traveling |
Honlucas:Yeah we can't have any more injuries. Everybody should be at their fullest and may the better team win. It hit him right in the temple but it wasn't a vicious hit |
Blueelf:Two picks for Giannis? Lol any GM that accepts two picks for Giannis will probably get shot by an angry Bucks fan. You didn't say 5 |
Let's hope the AD thing is not too serious. Looney was a bit loosey goosey with them bows. Not deliberate or malicious sha |
Capaldi:That Inter coach seems to be a Cup specialist. |
andrew444: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 |
BlueRayDick:How do you own almost 40 houses abroad ffs. This life that you're not leaving even with a button, abi Abacha where e dey now e know whether e get $5bn or 5naira. African politicians are nutcases fr |
123yes:Hehehe you can't be serious. What type of eunuch arrangement is that? |
