He played with a totally different level of energy, mindset and intention. He has to be remain super aggressive and be Steph, the rest will take care of it’s self. He mixed up his offense tonight and did not stop attacking. The biggest problem in my opinion is the conflict of their style of play because of Klay’s absence and the evolution of their roster.
This is the energy he needs to bring as frequently as possible. Even with his rings he still has a lot of doubters. You have people saying Harden and Lillard are better even though he has been beating them with and without KD.

I still set the bar for them as 8th seed. In a conference of 15 teams a Steph Curry led team should be able to finish in the top 8.

This is my issue with Kerr and why I don't rate him as high as people are won't to do. It's seasons like these that we want to see how good you really are coaching wise. We shall see if he proves me wrong. You can't be doing equal opportunity offense when one player is head and shoulders ahead of the rest

This is what you want to see from Steph. If you got to drop 40 a night then drop 40. That means fewer shots for Wiggins and Oubre to shoot you out of contention

That is most definitely true especially amongst QB's. Though I'll add being drafted into the right organisation helps a lot. You can be a generational talent a la Megatron or Andrew luck but if you get drafted into the wrong organisation nah OYO be that.
This is true. I look at a Jared Goff for example and if the Rams didn't get McVay he might be out the league right now

The effrontery! Abeg remind me of the teams in the AFC East again? Remind me the teams and their record that Brady competed against throughout his time in New England.
We are talking of a division where Brady won the division title since he became a starter.. And you want to talk about competition? Don’t even dare! The NFC North is levels ahead of that walkover AFC East.
Don't make me laugh. Throughout Aaron Fraudgers's stay in Green Bay the only decent QB in that division was a geriatric Brett Favre for one year. Don't make me go through the long list of sankwa QBs and teams that he feasted on. Still on still 1 SB appearance while GOAT Brady has made 9

Roland17:
Please tell us the great QB’s Brady faced while he was in the AFC East? What is the season record of the Jets, Dolphins and Bills? Those teams have consistent losing records and you want to talk about competition?

The Jets, Dolphins and Billshuh Really? Do you know Brady’s combined record against teams in his division?

Well, I am happy you have payed homage to the GOAT! He is the MVP of the league this season, no questions asked.
Name the QBs worth a damn in Rodgers's era in that NFC North. The whole league has a losing record against Brady that's why he's 30-11 in the post season while Rodgers is barely .500

Brady again? grin grin......Fields was a guaranteed number 2 in the Mock draft however Analysts will now be asking if He should go Number 1 overall.
I've learned not to put too much stock to performances in college football settings and draft hype. The gulf in class between college and the pros is huge and neither Fields or Lawrence are guaranteed to be a hit. We are seeing it with Tua right now

I am not saying Blake is better than Klay Thompson. I am saying when that roster for the Clippers was being set up it was with the mentality that Blake would be better. Blake was supposed to be better than Curry if you recall. The bottomline being that that Clippers "Lob City" team was built to be better than the Warriors in 2014. You are a basketball head on here so you will remember that the warriors were projected to be the 5-6th seed that year and many pundits predicted Lebron going back to Cleveland will win it all. So please, Curry does have his very palpable weaknesses some of which I have agreed with you, but making others better is not one of them. Let us give him his dues.
Truth is Steph, Klay and Draymond overachieved while the likes of Blake and the Clippers criminally underachieved.

They are the original 3-1 chokers, they deposed the Spurs and I was so sure they would reach the Finals after leaving Houston for dead and dumping the Warriors out the previous year

Thank you Boss, I am grateful for our friendship on this forum. New Year celebrations was quiet from my end, I go gym and open gifts but nothing serious. Coro dey disturb too much.

@A40 does not respect the GOAT and he knows I have a serious problem with that, so I lay into another GOAT who is renowned for the art of tap dancing.

Ohio State is a famous/ respectable football program and what Dabo said was disrespectful especially to the BIG 10 and I am happy they laid into him with that smacking.
I see Aaron Fraudgers feasting on another mediocre QB and NFC North team. As usual.

Anyway you lot have home field advantage in an average NFC field at best. Your guy has no excuse to not get to another Superbowl. 1 Superbowl in 13 years as a starter is quite shameful

If Harden is going, go now. Let's get pieces in place, maybe take a hit this year and get better next year. I am very high on Silas, but the Harden situation probably hurts more than helps.
Looking at the West the only roster I can say is categorically better are the Lakers. Personally I say work with this squad for this season.

Who knows how many years you can squeeze out of Wall and Cousins, not maximizing it is pointless as Harden will still command value next year same way AD did. Let's wait till trade deadline sha. The Nets might be reconsidering because this their so-called depth is looking hella suspect. Aside them and the Sixers I don't know who else Houston can deal with

How on earth should any man begin to Refer to Nancy peloci as a sugar Mommy is beyond human reasoning.

How you see a woman that is 80 years old, a Grand mother as a sugar Mommy is just so so very weird and that you even had to carefully select a picture of her to post is just weird.

It means you already have a sexual fantasy on her already ( 80 years old woman) and it's even possible you already wanked to her pictures on your phone on numerous occasions.

But off course that sums up the whole democrat society and ideology.

Bunch of weirdoo!!!!

Sex trafficking, child sex, trans men and women, gigoloss that wants to have sex with 80 years old pelocy and even biden sexually hugging Hilary clinton.

I hear they practise lots of orgyssss in the devilish ephraim island.

This is just the tip of what they want to turn the great united States of America to.

Turning the country into Sodom and gomorrah.

But hear me!!!!!!!! GOD is finally coming to USA in full.

Prayers in our schools and football, basketball, soccer matches.

Yes i know i am not perfect but one thing i know is that GOD can't be taken from usa and china will never overtake usa.

God bless America, God bless Israel, God bless Donald trump and God bless all the lovers of light and the bible.

MAGA!!!

John Wall looked very good in his return. If he stays healthy I don't see how he and Christian Wood don't help Harden to make some noise with Houston. I'm actually intrigued with this team and want to see Silas given a shot. Harden should see this season out at the very least and take it from there.

Donovan Mitchell though. That guy doesn't seem to know when to stop shooting

Haskins problem has been known from college, everyone knew that. He partied/ clubbed too much and many were unsure if he prioritized football. Well he took the same behavior to the NFL with no mentors around him to guide him. Read his statement/ apology and you will see the indifference.

He is a very bad example of a One and done QB from college because he obviously lacked the discipline and was not prepared mentally to play in the big stage. I blame the WFT in some aspects. You don’t see all of that and still give the keys and face of the franchise to him with absolutely no plans to mentor or place him in a strict regime. You also know he now projects the bad narrative about black QB’s not having the discipline and intelligence to play the cerebral position despite the exploits of R. Wilson, P. Mahomes, D. Watson, L. Jackson, K. Murray, T. Bridgewater.

Take a look at what B. Flores is doing at Miami with Tua.. Brian understands Tua is young and not ready to totally take charge, so he uses Fitzpatrick to mentor and guide him especially in tough situations when they need wins. He has withdrawn Tua twice in losing situations, introduced Fitz and won the game. Tua understands he is not invincible because he is a first round pick.

Haskins had a tremendous year at Ohio State but like many, I wasn’t too sure he was an exceptional talent like T. Lawrence or my Boy J. Allen with the Bills. The league is a tough one and it punishes even exceptionally talented players worth more players whose talent remain questioned ask AB, Dez Bryant etc.

Would he get a 2nd chance? I highly doubt that but I hope he is not judged primarily by this incident because many have done worse but he needs to critically reevaluate himself and decide if he really wants to play football. I will suggest Haskin and his team reach out to T. Dungy. He has been instrumental in helping a lot of young sports players who lost their way to find themselves. He is an exceptional disciplinarian and mentor to many athletes.
Nobody is perfect but I don't know who are this kid's advisers.

He seems to never have had the spirit of entitlement flogged out of him and in hindsight that one good year at Ohio State was the worst thing that could have happened to him. You saw how he smirked when Daniel Jones was selected ahead of him. Then you come out and say "the league don messed up" without taking a single snap just tells me he didn't know what he was getting into

I would hope this doesn't reinforce anything about black QBs who have clearly proven they can play. Every man for himself and it's very important that nobody uses this as an excuse to clutch on to outdated stereotypes

What Flores is doing with Tua is brilliant but incredibly fortunate, I credit Fitzpatrick for making this work. I don't know a Quarterback past or present that would accept such.

I would hope Haskins gets a second chance but he has so much unlearning to do. Celebrating throwing for 300 yards but your team lost by 2 touchdowns. However the biggest concern I saw in his last game and I'm just not sure he's an NFL caliber QB.

Maybe he should have stayed one more year in college or something but this boy cannot read defenses, coverages, nothing. There was a 4th and 2 on his last drive. This man had 3 receivers open and he literally could not see them and wound up taking a sack. I couldn't believe my eyes

What you also failed to tell the audience is that he averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists across six Finals games.

You also failed to mention that Bron is the first player in NBA Finals history to lead both teams in points, assists and rebounds for the entire series.
I don't put much stock on rebounds. They are the easiest stats to pad and they had Mozgov and Tristan Thompson who could handle those responsibilities anyway.

He did well in the assists department but his scoring was really bad. He shot below 40% FFS

I do. They just beat the almighty Kings having lost that same game a couple days back. Prior to then, CP3 and Harden beat a leaderless Warriors team in which Curry had 0 pts in the first half and failed by scoring 33 in the second half to still lose to CP3 4-2. Remember that useless Curry that lacks leadership qualities that qualified for the playoffs 51-31 under Mark Jackson? The one who won 67-15 under Kerr and a ring with all those all star players? I wish he was CP3 who won 3 rings with the wonderful Clippers.
The difference between Steph and CP3 is that Steph does not need the ball to kill you. He's far more dangerous without it than CP. Ironically he would have been a better fit with Harden than CP

Sometimes these people dey think say people dey sleep when dem dey play these matches. If you see 40 points you go think say Lebron don overperform. Meanwhile the guy needed at least 30 FG to score those points, sometimes needing as much as 38. grin grin. Na so so stat padding. grin
I just laugh when I hear people go off like he played well. Just like in 07 where he was terrible in the Finals and only benefitted from a shitty conference to get there anyway

Jimmy Butler carried the same burden with the Heat and did it more efficiently
