I can smell your resignation from my keypad. This is what you normally do when you don't have sh*t to say.
I am sorry for thinking the summer helped improve your mental capacity. I don't think it did.

Not at the level he used to be in and can never get there again =/= Washed.
You see that sign there? It means not equal to.

In other words, when people say Lebron is no longer the same Lebron of 2012/13. It does not mean he is now washed. He just isn't the same player. And it is very clear with each passing game.

You can keep living in denial. Just don't make excuses when it becomes more glaring to you.

My expectations for you Guys this year were certainly not high however I did not expect you lot to start out this bad. How big of a Loss Klay is is getting clearer by the day. Also your bench has got to be the worst in the league surely? A bunch of High schoolers would do better than the dudes Golden State has on their bench.

Hopefully they do come good or better still you guys should start planning for next season(seeing as Klay is unlikely to be fully fit till next season). That bench definitely needs a total overhaul. I'm not worried about the Likes of Steph, Klay and to an extent Draymond. It's the surrounding cast I am worried about. What are your expectations for this season btw? Top 6/Top 8?
Klay's loss is more than just his scoring or D, it is the fact that he understands the system having been part of it for the last whatever years. Draymond is a defensive juggernaut but offensively he is wanting and teams can easily box and one Curry.

What GSW want to do is make diamonds out of stones with the other players on the roster. It takes time to learn the system. KD struggled his first few games in GSW - missing defensive assignments and sometimes misreading plays. He said so himself.

Steve Kerr will rather play his system than make knee-jerk tactics where Curry just goes Iso play after play. His numbers will be great and we would win the odd games here and there but in the long run, other players will not become better and the team will ultimately suffer.

A lot of the comments from GSW fans online is simplify the offense. I am tempted to want that myself especially when I see the team having challenges scoring but a man who is building an edifice will require more time to lay his foundation than someone who wants a bungalow.

How soon the learning process will take, I don't exactly know. But when it happens, you will watch the same fools talk about 3-Allstars. Same argument that nobody is making now.

105 after 3 quarters chisos! shocked......Steve Kerr needs to find a way to sort that defence out. Draymond needs help on that End. Also Steph needs serious help till Klay gets back to Full fitness. Lawd knows this team is going to waste once the Chef hangs up His boot.
I don't know what people were expecting. Warriors did not get high draft picks. Lost KD, Iggy, Shaun L and Klay and replaced them with not just recent drafts but low picks with no NBA experience all aged 23 and below. Draymond was worse than some of these players when he was drafted. So they will need time.

My problem is, when they become good, people will say Steve Kerr was coaching all-stars and forget the process that got them there.

You must be a drycleaner for you to say LeBron is washed.

If I say I get your point I'm lying.
Lol this is a new year.

I am saying the Eric Trump example was because he is a vested interest in his father and as such will spew poppycock in defence of his dad. Same way, Pelinka will do for AD.

If you want to make a case for AD guarding positions, Pelinka's opinion will not count. Lol
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:37pm On Oct 27, 2019
steady986:
Pelinka is not AD's son or father, so why would he say he can guard 1-5 if he can't actually guard 1-5? Pelinka is a basketball GM, so I'll take his assertions over yours any day. Even Steven A. regularly says AD can guard 1-4.
Lol

Pelinka is not AD's son or father.

That was the essence of using Eric Trump as an example.

I tried to forget who you are for a second. But you always want to remind me.

Lol

I have a feeling you're concluding that every tall player should just be a rim protector.

Here's Pelinka saying he can guard 1-5, and you're here on Nairaland thinking your opinion matters
AD cannot guard 1-5. Quoting Pelinka even makes you sound very ignorant. Will Eric Trump not say Donald is the best US president ever?

So a team that has two of the top 10 (arguably top 5) players in the world are not title contenders? Lol
When compared to the Clippers they are not and it is not even close.

steady986:
What did LeBron and AD go for combined, wasn't it something like 16/40? And you think that's the template for the rest of the season? I know PG wasn't in the game, but we were missing 3 rotational players(Kuz, Rondo and Caruso) who would have gone a long way to improving our measly bench tally of 19 points.

No matter what anybody says, I'll be stupid to be so critical of the first game of the season. There's a lot of rustiness, teams are still trying to find the best way to play. There are 81 more games to figure that out. Bros, you should know better. Or have you written GS off already, seeing that you lost by 19. grin
On the day those shots fall LAL will win. But how many days will the shots fall against the Clips? Not enough. Because that is not the strength of their game nor the weakness of the Clips for LAL to capitalize. Remember my argument has been about LAL as title contenders not that they are a bad team.

As for GSW, I did not learn anything about the game more than I was angry at Steve Kerr and the...you hate to hear it..refs for some of the nonsense they let Beverly do that they called fouls against LAL.

Notwithstanding, GSW are a new team essentially and things will look off here and there. We have lost by more points with better teams so nothing new. All I know is, every foolish person prophesying dooms day for GSW will be totally wrong. Anyone being too optimistic will be disappointed as well. I am cautiously optimistic.

I clearly stated the only reason why I kept LeBron in front and I wasn't talking about peak or potential. We all know Kawhi got that on lock.
I am confused bro.

Kawhi is infront now. Lebron had the higher peak, longevity and legacy. I agree. If that is what you were saying. But if you said Lebron is still in front because of his consistency in the past. I don't see how that works.

grin I'm glad you recognized that it's 'just one game', unlike some folks here that think the world is coming to an end.
It was one game just like any playoff game will be one game. But what are the upsides to the way LAL played?

That AD will hit most of his post-up shots and that Lebron will have less turnovers. There is nothing else. Lakers will not become this grand shooting team and you won't win an NBA title these days without above average to elite shooting which LAL do not have. That is the reason that game was significant. It showed both Clippers and LAL's strengths and weaknesses but also showed which team had the higher upside.

Hell no, you can keep your opinion to yourself though grin. West brook gets a lot more assists than Curry, but most people consider Curry a better passer than he is. İ am still trying to figure out what sophistication there is to Trae's passing.

Yeah i've heard this one before.
Lol

I am saying he does not have it in him to make a sustained campaign for being the best player during the regular season.

You know his body cannot take it. So he is better of coasting now and trying to become the best player through the playoffs.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 6:57pm On Oct 24, 2019
KarnBarlow:
100%

If he wants that title back he has to snatch it back.
He is not snatching anything back this regular season.

He needs to win a chip for LAL being the best player on the team or else, that title is gone from him for good.

Oh!! Now it's depleted Golden State? But the Warriors were not depleted when he won in 2016 because the league suspended Draymond with Bogut and Iguodala got injured and Steph playing through knee Injury?

*Laughs in lowercase*.

Kawhi is doing everything LeBron does without the noise but I still got Bron in front because he has been consistent with his performance through the Years. Age is not on his side and you have to accept that.

But you guys ever heard of a healthy Kevin Durant? embarassed
Lebron is not ahead of Kawhi. Lebron's peak is higher than most people's peaks bar Jordan but that he is the best player in basketball today is a big fat lie. He still has his mind in tact so he might still be the most intelligent player on the court but that is where it stops. Anyone arguing against this is just trying to be politically correct or living in denial.

It seems when you hear sarri's name, you block your brain from analyzing and processing information correctly.
Abeg stop to dey quote me on top this sarri matter.

I said he went on ABOUT a 10 game winning streak, MEANING it might have been close to that. We even topped table at a point.

He actually set a premier league record.
If I dig some posts here then, you would see how everybody praised him INITIALLY.

It was his inability to adapt to different systems that was his undoing after our mid season disaster but he eventually ended the season on a high.

Please be objective to facts. I will not be one of those who will engage in a mindless back and forth with you.

Go and continue teaching your brainless students sentimental nonsense and unsubstantiated misinformation.

I already predicted exactly what will happen. There is nothing new. LAL will beat some other teams but if they had to get past Clippers to do it, they won't.

BTW, when Shannon Sharpe and others were saying they liked what they saw about LAL because they the beat G-league Warriors I did not see you here reminding people it was one game.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 6:17am On Oct 23, 2019
So the Clippers beat the Lakers. Cook and co missed wide open shots. Lakers had almost no shooting save Danny Green and Dudley (here and there), the LAL plan to play interior offense fell when the Clips packed bodies in the paint and Lebron is still good but not as good as before?

Okay. Nothing new.
