Just because he outplayed steph curry doesnt make him all that. All manner of bums do it all the time.

And when KD another bum joined him, you got mad. Explain.

LarcPickerin:
You speak of ignorance and yet you compare the GOAT to kobrick? Worse, you claim kobrick is better than the chosen one? You should be hanged for your HERESY!

I don't have energy for you on this talk. Kobe does have 5 rings to Lebron's 3. You can argue with that.

LarcPickerin:
But theres a false prophet on this thread who told us he foresaw the warriors winning.

I know what I saw and I was right. But fate has the power and it changed things.

LarcPickerin:
Field goal % in the fourth quarter of the Finals:
Steph Curry - 34%
Fred VanVleet - 44%

In the fourth quarter in game 6, Fred VanVleet scored 12 points, how many did curry score again?


Steph Curry: 4 points 1/6 FG 0/4 3PT 2/2 FT -7
Fred VanVleet: 12 points 3/5 FG 3/5 3PT 3/3 FT +6

All this while guarding him as well.

Hate on a notorious choker with 0 FMVPs? I speak bare facts! LOL!

Lakers should trade for FVV na.

Meanwhile, look up "box and 1" before you talk about who was guarding what.

LarcPickerin:
LMAO! Basketball ignorance you say? Boy, the way you get all sensitive whenever curry gets slandered brings me more joy than you can imagine.

Slander is of two forms- based on sheer ignorance or being a hater. I ignore the latter but sometimes try to correct the former. Dazzall.

KarnThornheart:
This only means one thing, three peat incoming.

People still think Bucks and Raptors have a chance against [a fully healthy GSW] he meant to say. And he is 100% right.

CuteRedd:
While this is true, the nba won’t let him be if he remains/finish his career with the warriors. The guy is just too sensitive and not built that way. So we better start looking at other options available. We need better bench players and solid vets.

You are right but me I am not buying the RJ Barret guy. Too selfish and a basic shooter. His ceiling is high though.

iamJ:
If we are talking about goats in NBA history it's LBJ vs MJ

Curry isn't even considered, if we tabulate 50 greatest he still wouldn't feature

Curry isn't even the best player in his team, LBJ has always been the best player for any team he has played for, let KD come to Lakers LBJ will make him look ordinary

You are new here. There is no Lebron and GOAT debate. There is absolutely nothing that puts him in that conversation. Nothing.

And nobody was bringing SC into a GOAT debate. Literally not one person said that here.

But you exposed your basketball ignorance when you said Curry was not top 50. And I am not in the mood to educate anyone biko.

The debate people should try to make is Kobe vs Lebron and Kobe is still winning there. Just don't waste your energy on Lebron and Jordan.

CuteRedd:
@smooshchn @Eruditor
I like the idea of a sign and trade for Durant. He recuperates for one year and be traded elsewhere for solid assets. We might even get RJ Barrett from the knicks.

Bad as it bad Durant gets his money while having the opportunity of playing in another team with the 5years money. Who knows run it back for one more year for a title with the warriors.

Warriors keep the core team while having the opportunity to trade Durant for solid assets.

I like it

As much as I like KD, I don't mind too. We lost a great bench because of him (which was worth it) but I did not like the whole shenanigans his free agency was causing as a result of his tacit silence (if there was any such construction). The fact of the matter is, we would need him to face some of these super-team elect simply because the NBA can influence a game or 2 even with KD here, but it is impossible to fix a series. We are just that good with him. And unlike some naysayers here, I expect KD to fully recover as a player. His game was not built on his athleticism alone and it is not like he is known for his blistering speed or jump. He is still a pure shooter with great length and has 4 more years of playing at the top.

SmooshCHN:
All the Warriors did was draft Splash brothers, Draymond and added KD via free agency and they got hated on so much for it by many.. Now these same people are advocating monster moves for the Lakers. Double standard is interesting to watch. We know who's gonna get triggered but it's just facts that the Warriors and KD never did anything wrong. The hypocrites were the problem from the onset as I've always said.

If Kyrie like, let him go back to LA. Warriors will be back and there's no stopping that.

That is why I was angry with KD. Like why are you so sensitive? They hate your success..nothing else. They hate that you have changed the narrative. They wanted to crown Lebron the GOAT. They will not take any Curry injury but will remind you about every injury other players had.

Like Curry almost broke his neck game 4 against Rockets and that neck bothered him even in the Cavs series but nobody talked about it. Same as his knee injury that got worsened in the 15/16 season yet, he choked and did not show up. LOL.

Only Shaq has been a voice of reason telling people to relax first. We heard this about Celtics and even Philly. We even heard how Bucks will beat us. But they lost 4-2 to the same team that beat us. Only that we had most of our players injured and they did not.

iamJ:
he looks younger than his age

LeBron is just 3 years older but career accomplishments makes it look like LeBron is 8 years older hahahaha

Lebron was born Dec 1984. Curry was Born 1988. Lebron got into the NBA straight from High School and Curry had 4 years of college. Lebron got drafted 2003 Curry was drafted 2009.

And they have the same number of rings.

KarnThornheart:
I don't have a problem with the Warriors but fvck Kevin Durant. If anyone hated the Warriors it's because Kevin the serpent Durant played for them. Do you see me pushing for Kyrie or Kawhi? I'm actually advocating for depth. If anyone is trying to assemble stars it's because you lot gave the league PTSD and everyone thinks the only way to beat you is to assemble the Avengers.


I for one can't wait until the Warriors and their merry band of cripples return so the king can dismantle you once and for all. First, you have bigger fish to fry, seems the serpent is about to bolt. But mark me, serpent or no serpent, we have no fear for you. Your days of terror are over!

You people should put mascara on your head and make up your mind. Kawhi is the best player in the league yet you are angry that KD who is not the best is playing for chokers like Curry and Klay and Donkeymond. I don't understand.

You hate the "not best player in the world" for playing with other bums. But the player you call the GOAT should play with Kyrie, AD, Butler, and Kawhi.

You people crack me up.

LarcPickerin:
They went 7 games in the ECF without their best player but then lost to the bucks with their best player Did their best player not shoot, 8-22, 7-22 and 6-21 in three consecutive games against the bucks?


What are you even talking about?

This season was a dud. Too many internal issues. I'm talking about last season. Or else, we can say Bron got back early enough to still make the Lakers compete but he failed to.

LarcPickerin:
Of course we should. The cavs got a finals trip and a few pieces after the trade, boston got an ECF final loss at home, an embarrassing second round loss, and a star who's inevitably going to bolt. One would argue they were better off without him.


Roland knows better than to claim otherwise.

They lost to the Bucks though. And they lost to Cavs without their "best player". You always make excuses for Lakers by saying their best player was hurt which is why they did not qualify for the playoffs. So how can you troll teams that had to play without theirs?

HamNotHunderstanding

LarcPickerin:
It seems the new angle the warriors bandwagon haters are pushing is that lebron is old. Has to be, or our precious wardell is going to receive an a-s whooping. A laker team with 5 players is assembled yes? LMAO! Its okay just keep that same energy. Mark me, when lebron and AD get a hold of him he will look like wesley snipes after they're done with him

The narrative I am pushing. Is Lebron not 35-elect?

Is he not noticeably slower?

Does he defend half as good as he used to?

Did anything happen to his free throw shooting?

What about his health?

Huhuhu

LarcPickerin:
But seriously, i keep telling you dont know basketball and i mean it. Cavs have Sexton, Larry Nance, Jordan Clarkson, one first round pick and two second round picks. The celtics have kyrie literally nothing from the trade. Ask a cavs fan and a celtics fan who won the trade.

This dweeb is saying a team with 5 players on the roster has no spacing LOL! Tell us again how you saw Golden state winning in 9.

I was not the only one who saw GSW winning. Never forget. Even Vegas supported me. It is easy to be wrong when 2 of your 3 best players are injured but I digress.

We should ask Roland17 who won the trade considering he is a Boston fan, right?

LarcPickerin:
..

Did you not also say Warriors were going to win their last ring?

You are not trolling me at all. Just making me laugh. Lebron today is not better than Cousins was before he got hurt whilst playing with AD in Pels.

In fact, if Rockets keep their present roster, they will beat this Lakers team as assembled.

SmooshCHN:
Eruditor!!! This is exactly what I was saying concerning KD's injury. One guy from his couch who has zero medical knowledge will tell us the Warriors knew KD had injured his achilles before, how warriors are a classless organization or how others just speculate Bob Myers was playing Hollywood.

They took a risk that they would with normal players returning from a calf injury. I personally would have preferred he sat.

Of course bro. My only bone of contention was the crying. He did not need to cry. The only reason people did not want us to play him was so that we could not increase our odds of winning the series.

What is shocking to me for e.g is how not a single soul brought up how Draymond hit a 3 which was given a 2 only for GSW to need to call a timeout and foul in the last possession of game 6 which would not have been the case had the game been rightfully tied 111-111.

Not one pundit. They glossed over it.

Now I am here reading about how the Warriors overdid it. With only KD as a free agent (the rest of the roster was drafted) but are celebrating Lebron, AD and hoping Butler or Kyrie join. Hehe he.

The media even rushed to crown them title favourites. I see now that people just hated GSW and wanted the team to fail by all means. They tried to even push KD away as their trump card. Anyways, I will be here to laugh.

Edit; same fools who kept repeating that had CP3 not gone down we would have lost. Same fools.

KNIGHTBlaed:
LMAO!!! I dey laugh as them dey brag. I cannot wait for this line when it starts happening "BRON HAS NO HELP"

I will be here. Won't miss it for the world. LOL. Team with no spacing, an ageing superstar and another one who will get hurt come crunch time. Building castles in the sky per usual. Same way they celebrated the "we won the trade" against Celtics.

DeeMain:
Most of the e-wars on this thread were fought based on that and you still ask me?

This is circumlocutory.

DeeMain:
But it's fair enough to me for others to get their pound of flesh now considering what Warriors fans told them when they gave injury excuses for their teams.

What did Warriors fans say?

DeeMain:
The Warriors' pass has turned you to a philosopher.

The people talking about injuries as no excuses are the same people who said it over and over again before this season.

Lakers will not win any ring. Rockets won 65 games in the regular season and folded when it mattered.

You people should not build castles in the sky. Lebron is 35 and AD is injury prone.

steady986:
Hahahaha, you think this is supposed to make me rethink my life now? OK I'm remorseful, I'm hiding in the corner now thinking about my life, all teary eyed.

Lol. This is sports bro, and imma enjoy this while it lasts. I wont get the chance often so I'm grabbing it with both hands now that it's here. We all had to watch how all you warriors fans talked trash in here, like y'all were some kind of formidable people with perfect lives just because you support a team that looked unbeatable. Not knowing that the god of basketball had other plans and your joy came crashing down.

Lol. Even that one called Eruditor went as far as saying he saw the future. Now tell me that alone doesn't deserve all this. Live with it bro, it'll only last a fee weeks

Fate was like take Klay and Looney out. We won game 2. Take Looney back we lost games 3 &4 (dodgy officiating et al). Fate relaxes like Raptors got this. Then KD and Klay come back..we are leading healthy..fate takes KD..we still win. Game 6 we are winning healthy and are sure to win. Fate takes Klay out. At this rate, if we had won game 6. Steph would have lost his ankles and then Draymond would have been suspended.

We submit to fate and trust that the future will reward us.

LarcPickerin:
All this talent with frank vogel, jason kidd and lionel hollins on the sidelines. Three friggin coaches. Man if this team clicks? WAR!!!

Don't get excited. Pray for health. It plays a huge role. I am talking from experience.

steady986:
Lol, if you think Boogie would take anything less than 10 mil you better wake up. The only reason why he accepted 5 was cos he needed a ring so desperately and he was recovering from an injury. He has passed that stage now, and he has seen that GS can't really assure him that ring. He has learnt his lesson.
There'll surely be teams willing to offer him up to 15 mil. With a good offseason, I'll surely take him at LA for 15 mil.

Boogie can go anywhere he pleases. I said what GSW said which is that he will be offered that $6M if no one else gives him the money he is looking for. I am not sure he is at the top of any GSW supporter's list. I would take Rudy Gay over him - every time and they don't even play the same position.

What I need is another solid scorer to help during the regular season. Curry and Draymond can rally the squad to the playoffs. Then a healthy KD and Klay will be back to take us to a first championship at San Francisco where we will finally get to win 3 straight en route to 3 peating.

steady986:
See how asinine you are. Any player that has a 5 point game is not a superstar. And you are trying to troll.

LOL.

Number of rings without superstars? Curry 0, Kawhi 1

Then what is Kyle Lowry?

I can educate but I cannot cure chronic ignorance.

If Klay being a first time all star on a basic salary with iffy finals performances is a superstar. What is Kyle lowry with multiple all star appearances, many huge games and a $100M 3 year contract? Lol.

At least, you did not try to defend Lebron who has won nothing without super stars whereas Curry has 1.

Hardetayour:
We had too many centres. Bunch of unsure shooters apart from Klay and Steph. I still think Damion could have been activated for playoffs and Bell should have been dropped.

All those fringe players were not key. We were top heavy. Outside of KD, SC and Klay we had no other true scorers. That was the biggest issue. Cousins could have been that but the man is still recovering. I heard GSW will offer him the $6M one year option if no club gives him what he wants the following year. If he stays healthy he will be immense.

But like I said, Cook and Jerebko were defensive liabilities and then could not score when they were left free. That was huge. Shaun L has one more year but I hope he baulks and decides to leave now to give us that salary cap space..he let his team down.

steady986:
And 34 in game 2

LOOOOL

That GSW lost.

See how asinine you are. Any player that has a 30+ game is a superstar. And you are trying to troll.

LOL.

Number of rings without superstars? Curry 1. Lebron 0

steady986:
Lol, but when he meets a stern defense like that of the Raptors, especially without Klay and KD, his deficiencies are exposed cos he is forced to take more bad shots. Which is what we saw in game 6

The people that shot good shots why did they have 22pts (3 of which were last-second free throws?).

Answer on post card.

When he meets stern defence indeed.

steady986:
He had Klay

And he made all of 5 pts in a closeout game 6.

LOOOOL

Hardetayour:
Eruditor, die thus matter. Dont feed the troll.

Lets talk way forward. What roster change would u make for next season.

SmooshCNN, CuteRedd, pointguardusa etc.

Can't have Cook with his defensive liabilities and fear to shoot but he will be here to impress KD. Jerebko will go as well. I just need another scoring option for the regular season. Klay and KD will be back for the playoffs. Klay will even be back before that 1 year. He is Klay Thompson. Y'all know who he is.

steady986:
I think you guys need more superstars, since that's the only way you can win. I say go for Kyrie, AD and Jimmy

Curry won 14/15 without superstars. Tell me when Lebron won without superstars. I am waiting.
