steady986:
Lol, gotten most of the shots they wants? Not entirely true

Your own is to listen to Nick Wright and come here to post rubbish. Go and watch the game and see the type of wide-open 3s Curry missed today and all series long. In fact, the 3pt shots he made were more difficult than his misses.

steady986:
That's usually the case when a major threat gets off before the end of a game. It kinda takes the opposition team unaware, because KD was in their original plan, and suddenly he wasn't. Kind of like when Lebron got injured against GS. GS still got blown out in that game. But in the subsequent games without Lebron what happened?

What game is that?

Stop talking claptrap. Do you think we started watching basketball yesterday?

steady986:
Don't sleep on KD now, without KD this team will struggle. Who are u going to play? Bogut? Looney? Come on. Let's be realistic. And we've seen in this series that Curry and Klay can be successfully guarded.

You have not watched any of the games. It is screaming through your posts.

Successfully guarded my foot. Both players have gotten most of the shots they wanted. It just did not fall. Curry of 2015/16 will average 40ppg in 25mins going by the type of shots he has missed.

steady986:
Relax. Now the Rockets have two whole days to draw up a plan to stop Curry without worrying about KD

If Curry is on his level. They can't stop him. They have not even stopped him in this series. He has just not been himself.

benji93:
Chuck just said we can't beat either the nuggets or the Blazers without Durant. I bet we will even without Durant, the teams he supports always lose.

LOL.

Bucks and Rockets are 2 teams I fear for different reasons. Rockets because the NBA cheat for them or fall for their antics. Bucks because they have an unstoppable player in Giannis.

darkelf:
I was angry and emotional at that point.

You don't know how a wife's actions affects her husband's play on the court. Ayesha needs to watch her mouth henceforth

I am not sure you understood what she was saying. I know this because I don't understand your reaction.

steady986:
Lol. It's easy to say all these now that you know KD ain't playing. I don't want to hear you mention KD when you guys get swept in game 6 without him.

We were losing this game with KD on the court and then won it as soon as he left. Not because we don't need him but because other players stepped up. That is who we have always been. All that rubbish from so-called analysts is for ratings.

SIRcumalot:
Na bro,you really don't.
This isn't MVP level Steph anymore.
He came alive in the 4th quarter in this game though.

You are right that Steph has not been himself in this series but sometimes unfortunate events can trigger the beast in a champ.

benji93:
I don't want to wish him bad, but i would like to see what the splash brothers can do without him, they seemed to click in the 4th. Let's see what they can do together for an entire game.

We would just go back to 2015/16 Warriors. Only this time without a bench.

I was going to..no. You are not worth it.

Cheers.

Hardetayour:
I'll take any type of win at this point. The refs are ludicrous. Watch them favour the Rockets at home and we'll be playing without KD (maybe)

We can survive without KD if they don't cheat. I know some people will not agree but we kinda looked better without him. KD is the best player on the team but he is more like a bail-out player. Someone who helps you when plan A fails. When he is plan A, we seldom win. In fact, most of his 50 pt game performances came in games we lost.

There was more spacing with him out and somehow our panic instincts set in and we looked more controlled.

Steve Kerr even lost his cool.

I am legit frightened by the length these people will go to make a series look even. Jesus is Lord!

Hardetayour:
Lmao. Harden practically disappeared all 4th quarter. Is that your MVP?

We are lucky we forced the ball out of his hands. They were going to give him 20FTs in this game. This was ridiculously annoying

We know the NBA want to extend the series and what not but why cheat GSW at home like this? This was ridiculous.

So Iggy was not fouled but Harden was fouled. OKAY.

2 Bogus calls on Draymond to stop a 17-0 GSW run.

NBA refs and cheating.

Curry, I don't know what is going on. You are better than this!

Roland17:
Young man, do yourself a favor, take some time and read about Ayesha Curry. The embolden proves you actually know nothing or have very limited knowledge about her.

I quoted the post to reply but then decided against it.

The guy should just support his Rockets with his chest. He even said he wants Rockets to win...because of Ayeesha Curry. LOL

bazooka1:
One would think Man city would not have to resort to sponsorship padding to get ahead of the financial fair play since they have the most merchandise and sales.

Sponsorship padding is the one you have investigated or the one that happened years before Pep showed up. Make up your mind about the argument you are trying to make.

bazooka1:
You're shooting all over the place. I thought you were talking about the so called 100m deficit. Suddenly the deficit goes up in flames when you add the champions league money and extra takings from the stadium expansion.
Try and anchor your argument on a point. You're currently all over the place.

No. It does not. They service debts of salaries and bonuses to go with maintainance. Your arguments are too strawman to be taken seriously. There is a palpable difference between whatever Liverpool earned and what they spent that these bogus parameters you are introducing cannot offset. Stevie Wonder can see this. That difference was a reinvestment by the decision makers. Something Klopp himself admitted to. But keep spinning tall tales to save your shortage of facts.

bazooka1:
Every big club scammed the system to win trophies?
For real?

You call it scam because you cannot post beyond your knowledge. Fair game.

bazooka1:
City were bundled out of the champions league at the quarter finals. I would imagine their earnings won't be the same with the finalists.
I didn't know the Etihad was also expanded like Antfield. My apologies

The much-vaunted champions league money is propaganda. It is about 20M difference between QF and final. First division team's playing qualifiers into the EPL get more money - fact. Then Etihad being expanded or not is straw man argument. The Centurion team playing the best football in the country attracted the most coverage and sold the most merchandise never mind game tickets.

You are talking earnings and you are bringing Liverpool. LOL.

birdman:
jus say your liver don cut for tonites game. warris all dis

Baba, believe me. We are due a Klay masterclass. I expect a blow out win in today's game for the home team. If we win by less than 15+ points I will be surprised. Not boasting, I just feel it in my spirit.

bazooka1:
Have you factored in the Champions league money and the extra gate takinhs from the ant field expansion in your 100 million disparity quote?
Don't just bandy words around without a deep thought.

LOL do you think City did not make champions league money as well or did not sell far more merchandise than all the other english franchises last year? Where was your own deep thought in that regard?

bazooka1:
But that's the point I'm making. Man city have spent their way to success. Your comment is in agreement with my point.

He is saying every big club did that. Every one of them. Luck might deflect results here and there but that is what ALL of them did.

SmooshCHN:
Sometimes that upper body strength forces you to jump forward and flop everytime. And he's brilliant at baiting the refs too. Perhaps everyone in the league needs to start learning from Harden.

Leg strength and propelling upper body core abi wetin be that grammar baba birdman give us that time?

I laugh in spanish.

bazooka1:
You think Barcelona haven't paid up for Coutinho and on the other hand believe Liverpool have paid up in cash for VVD, keita, fabinho... You can see the bias in your statement.
If you know how transfer system works, then you should know monies are paid in installments. For instance Cardiff will in 3 installments for the dead Argentine player. That's how it works alright?

I know the argument goes both ways which is why I went on to mention the over 100M disparity. That is not balancing any books my friend. That is not even promissory spending. That shows that Liverpool reinvested in the squad. Something even Sarri did in signing Kepa whose value was heavily inflated just like Allison's. But you are crying kpaho for City who paid just 35M for Ederson and talmbout inflation. Miss me with the claptrap.

TheGoodJoe:
Zidane was inflated it was a big jump in prices of top players. I think Ronaldo De Lima who had bigger clout went for £31m then Zidane jumped to £60m which was huge inflation.

I wish I saw this before replying.

bazooka1:
Infalted. Do you know the definition of inflation? Zidane was the world best player and a world cup winner. His transfer to Madrid broke the world record but the market wasn't inflated.
Ask yourself how long it took before his transfer record was broken before you talk about inflation.
Talking about Jorginho, are you saying his decision to move to Chelsea had nothing to do with Sarri's influence? When Chelsea matched city's offer, there was no guesses where he's was going.

Chelsea did not match City's offer. City backed out because Chelsea offered more to Napoli. The news was everywhere just like the Alexis', Mahrez even laporte deals. Pep said the club will not go beyond the market to secure any player.

And Zidane's transfer was inflated. At the point he was signed, what was the valuation for the world's most expensive player? RM literally had to give Juventus an offer they could not possibly refuse. That is called breaking the bank.

bazooka1:
What are you talking about? I take it you don't know Liverpool are running an almost self sustaining buisness model.
Selling Coutinho for £130m went along way to balance their books. Add that to the champions league money they got last season. They made close to £60m from Uefa last year. Factor in the lottery they won with Solanke who cost them zero ££ and went for 18m.
Its a far cry from Man city who get monies pumped into the team with reckless abandon.

You obviously do not know who you are responding to. Self-sustaining business model my foot. Do you think Barcelona have paid even up to one-half of Phillipe's deal? You guys should stop it with this sophistry. Add up Keita, Fabinho, Allison, VVD that is already 100M more than UCL and Countinho money. Never mind that they almost signed that winger from Lyon and backed out only when he failed a medical.

Liverpool by virtue of Klopp's UCL run decided to reinvest money in strengthening the team. That is what happened. Nothing like balancing books. In fact, City have made more revenue than Liverpool in the last 5 years consistently and are even more valued than United today.

bazooka1:
The revenue they generate can get those players. Sugar daddies never backrolled those transfers. And the time these players where transferred, the transfer system never went haywire not until the Arabs bought Psg and Manchester city

Another huge lie. Zidane's transfer to RM was already inflated. Pogba's to United the same. This narrative about City ruining the market is such a daft lie. City have even shown themselves to be a club who will resist wanton inflation. They missed out on Jorginho for the same reason.

bazooka1:
So you're saying Abu Dabi sponsorship of City was ethical?
If football operated a Fairplay system like the draft system used in NFL and NBA, you think guys like City will be in the picture?
You still haven't defined buying success.

This makes no sense. Every big club you know today first got bankrolled and then used their success to perpetuate themselves as big clubs. City did just that. This rose-colored analysis you are spewing is just anti-pep. Nothing more.

How someone will justify Klopp's spending and in another breath pan Pep's is legendary.
