Don't mind him. He always has a relentless need to be right.

Instead of just agreeing he phrased his words poorly due to exuberance and zealousness. He found himself in a hole and kept digging. Listing individual accomplishments as proof he had done more for the Mavs grin

Defense wins you championship they always say, but they often forget that offense is equally important.
The heats are just defense and insha Allah.

Their main aim to use their defense to smolder you and hope that's enough to win the game. They simply lack the ability to enforce their will offensively on a consistent level.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:25am On May 26, 2022
Lol. The Heat don't even have enough defense to hang. The Celtics have just been playing with their food. This series should have been over in 5

Shut up and learn. The point is you said never achieved in 10 years what Luka has achieved in 4. He got to the finals in 2006 and lost 4-2. I can only beat what's in front of me. Luka is yet to get to the finals. Very very simple fact. You rate a guy just based on his individual performance? How much a guy has to work with is quite subjective, especially when the players in question are not stars. No player on Dirk's team was even an all-star in 2006, and yet he got to the finals. cheesy grin

OK finals appearance is now an achievement. Noted. grin

I have a question, does losing a series mean a player on the losing side cannot be the best player?

Of course, it can be. But I think the talking heads on TV like to annoint based on one game, rather than a body of work.
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:59pm On May 26, 2022
A40:

I have found the Western bracket far more entertaining

Luka beat a 64 win team. To put in perspective Lebron beat just 1 50+ win team from 2003-2010

Body of work beats one game here and there. Lebron struggling and overcoming the Pistons, and the Celtics was defining imho, even before going to the Heat. I need to see Luka put in that body of work over time as well. In order to generate news, people like to anoint people to early - but you gotta put in the time first.

By the same tokem, Giannis has put in the time, and now has a ring. But other than Shaq, he never really gets the accolades. I think he is closer to best player in the league than Luka at this point.

I have allowed you breath for a while now. If Tatum takes the Celtics past the Heat and into the Finals, I will be expecting your regular scheduled apology to him for the DISRESPECTFUL BLASPHEMY championed by you on this thread. This time it must be in 2000 words or more..no excuses angry


Lol, I cant even hate. The boys are putting in work, even coconut head Marcus Smart whom I love to hate. Lets see if Miami can force a game 7 by stealing one in Boston

But in a 7 year span I showed you that Lebron did not beat any team as good as a 64 win Suns team in his first 7 years in the league. He only beat one team that won 50+ games before joining the Heat. I know you guys are quick to overhype that Finals run but as far as body of work. Lebron's only notable feat before joining the Heat was beating a 53 win Detroit team

Giannis is a made man. The only reason he's not getting his due accolades is because he's not American. The man brought a chip to goddamn Milwaukee at 26. Let that sink in

After winning a DPOY and two MVPs. Mentioning Luka alongside him is laughable

The warriors are out for blood.
Doncic getting blocked by curry and Looney and Making zero efforts to help on defense.
BTW, who has been watching Curry's defence, man has greatly improved, way stronger on his feet, doesn't get pushed around.
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:08am On May 27, 2022
Doncic not playing defense to prove a point to who? The refs?
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 3:12am On May 27, 2022
Don't talk about the man like that. He's done in 4 years what Dirk was unable to do in 10. Give the man some respect.

Totally useless on defence and sulks like a toddler when calls do not go his way.

grin grin grin cheesy you know say that guy just like to they yarn dust grin

I don’t even get it, the guys were able to bring it to like 10 points, he came in and lost the ball twice and decided he won’t run back on defense.

And then jordan poole was targeting him and blew by.

lead back to 18.

i get things won’t go your way all the time but you can’t sulk every time.

I pity him. He thinks he's 23 so it's ok. Before you realize you are 30 and you are still yet to get a ring. The way he's playing right now, he'll need at least a borderline Superstar to win. otherwise, he'll be another Harden, but over a longer period of time.

When I said this a couple of days ago, some nostalgia merchants where attacking me grin

The big 3 is simply not what it used to me and the nature of their fat contract will impede the ability of the warriors to keep their emerging players or sign news ones.

Either draymond or klay needs to leave but I don't think anyone is keen to trade for them right now.

Secondly, the warriors putting their hopes on essential an injury prone rookie in the form of Wiseman s amazing. It's borderline negligence.

Most teams were making trades or signing free agents during the season but the arrogant warriors with obvious front court problems sat pat.

Even their wing depth beyond Wiggins, kuminga and GP2 is questionable.



It's this guy.. grin grin grin

Bro the warriors are 0/15 from 3 and are just spamming turnovers after turnovers.

This warriors ceiling is the conference finals and what happened to the Splash Brothers?

I know the nostalgic feeling is off the charts with the warriors fan base but they need to blow up this their big 3 and invest in a proper big who can contribute both offensively and defensively.

Their ceiling is the conference finals grin grin grin
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 4:10am On May 27, 2022
Any slow decent big is able to cover Luka well. Bjelica is doing ok too.

Talk about quoting people out of context but whatever works for you guys. I am a big warriors fan but I am objective enough to acknowledge a problem when I see it.

If my explanations weren't clear enough I don't think there is a point going over it again.
