steady986: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. |
chic2pimp: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. |
chic2pimp: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. |
steady986:Like I said. It is a new year. Learn to read properly before responding. I will give you a chance to correct yourself. |
steady986: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 |
steady986: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 |
steady986:Not at the level he used to be in and can never get there again =/= Washed. But tell the king his clothes are made with invisible thread not that he is naked. Lol |
steady986: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? |
steady986:When compared to the Clippers they are not and it is not even close. |
steady986: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. |
SmooshCHN: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. |
steady986: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. |
KNIGHTBlaed:No need for this. |
benji93:Not every argument is worth it tbh. |
KarnBarlow: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. |
KarnBarlow: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. |
SmooshCHN: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. |
Swissh: ![]() |
steady986:Then you are better than Shannon. |
donjazet:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
steady986:lol. 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. |
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. |
larride:Okay. I always felt it was a haven for them since they always acted comfortable and untouchable there. |
Isiterere:You know man wants to form that he sees things others don't. I wonder why people let the daft guy claim Ronaldo Dalima is a better goal scorer than Messi..lol |
Was it not in Abuja he was arrested? They followed up on him for a while but could not arrest him in Dubai till he made the mistake and came to Abuja. It is the same mistake Hushpuppi will need to make to get arrested. They can not do it in Dubai. |
ddippset:Stupido1 That should be his moniker. Spillo1 is a misnomer. |
All I know is, when SAF was going to retire. It was Pep he went to talk to first about coaching United. But Pep being a man to honor contracts divulged to SAF that he had an agreement with City. Which is where David Moyes etc came from. Even the SAF that you big up knows who is who. |
BikeMan:If someone says 2+5 = 14 And 30 people like that comment. What does it say about them? |
patrickmuf:I am not contending their value. It does not mean Pep spent that money which was the narrative. Pep increased City players value. That is what the report was trying to say. |
obainojazz:You are too stupid to even realize your goof. Invested indeed. Which is why I asked you to read what the article actually said not the clickbait of a headline. Is that not the report they are quoting? See how they came up with the figures. Dummy.
|
obainojazz:The olodo is trying to switch to invest. What a dumb morafoka. Raheem was bought for 50M. That is how much he COST. Today, he is VALUED at 126M. Geddifok. |
Itsmedozie:LOL Scummy don realize his mistake. These self-disrespecting dummies sef. |
