The old man who is counting time and stats beat your sweetheart Steph in the playoffs last year and went to the conference finals. But yea, he's just counting time. Haters gon hate though

All thanks to AD without whom they won't even make the playoffs...
You forgot they got swept by the Nuggets too.
Beating the warriors is hardly a flex, sacramento almost did it...
The warriors were terrible last season....

If averaging 29/8/7 and reaching the conference finals isn't dominating, then I don't know what dominating is. Name me 3 other players in the league that had a stat line like that and went far in the playoffs at the same time. I can only think of Jokic.

But no, we're just hyping him for nothing.

Like I said before, haters don't need a reason to hate. They just hate.

So LeBron is the only player in the league who is not supposed to have help. He should do it alone. The standards you people set for my guy is just absurd

Lol. Oga boxscore.
The only reason the Lakers made it to the western conference finals was because of Anthony Davies.
That plus all the free throes gifted you guys by the refs.
They didn't even win a single game in the Western conference finals. Dominant player that cannot will his Team to a single win. Previous season they didn't make the playoffs. Before that they were in the play-in and lost in the first round.
Lebrons averages haven't changed much, the deciding factor has always been the availability of Davies, or not.
And you say he is dominating. Isn't it obvious the old man is just stat padding?

No one says he shouldn't have help Mr. Man.
Even at his peak, he relied on super teams to win.
I'm basically just saying he is not really dominating, he is just counting points....

Lol! I dont think he is down low like that, I think he swings both ways,but just doesnt put his business out in the streets. And he is from the A, lots of twisted things going on down this way if you start checking out celebrities out here. That is the reality of living in a hedonistic society. Eventually you have to keep looking for alternatives to satisfy your curiosity,

Back to basketball, he just never had that next level mentality to dominate games. I mean you would look at the stats and he would put up monster numbers, but it didnt translate into a team culture in Orlando, and definitely not in Houston. Kobe saw what he could be, and tried to push him, but that type of motivation really doesnt work on someone who doesnt have that mindset. Sort of like KAT. Make no mistake, Howard is a hall of famer, but like you said, he could have been much more!

His business is sure out on the streets. That's why GSW supposedly didn't sign him this season. Google it.

Skrrrrrrr:
I'm almost convinced there is something wrong with you Lebron fans.
Curry and durant made a dent but curry has as much rings as Lebron and Durant has two.
Popsy is still dominating but his last ring was the "bubble ring" with AD, hasn't been the best player in the league in years but popsy is still dominating. Got totally outclassed by the best player in the league last year but popsy is still dominating.
If at this point, it's not clear to you guys that Popsy is just counting time and points, until he finally retires, I don't know what to say to you....
Say na, popsy is still dominating...

Look at what you are saying..
Were the other teams not given same opportunity to win the NBA that year?
Did Lakers just go to the final without playing anything?

Did the other teams not play same match ?

Sometimes you guys talk Asif una nr go school

Saying all thanks to AD is funny.

Was AD not part of the team?
Is he a stranger ?
Is he not a laker team Nd being paid Nd should play for Lakers?

He stepped up u are saying if not him..

Na this place I know say some people talk like uneducated peeps

I don't waste my time on someone that can't prove a point

What's wrong with Clippers?
Four All-stars on the court and struggling to score 100 against a Grizzlies side without it's best player.

The Harden trade hasn't worked out at all

One or two of those guys needs to come off the bench. Alll 4 players are quite similar and it is unnatural for either to defer or share the ball. With that lineup, they are not making opponents work hard because they just dribble, run the shot clock down and end up taking an ISO shot. They need some balance in their rotations.

Harden should come off the bench and run with Powell who has had a good start to the season. I will also consider starting Plumlee and have Zubac run with the 2nd unit. Losing Gordon means they have to start Brodie who isn't a natural facilitator. Ty Lue is an experience coach, I think he is experimenting, I expect him to make some adjustments to his starting 5 and implement some of my suggestion, otherwise, it is going to be a long season for the Clippers.

I blame Steph for the struggles of the warriors. He has pampered the front office for far too long, making dubious moves after dubious moves since Durant left.

All this kumbaya, loyalty nonsense has to stop, and he needs to pull a "Lebron" to get a desired upgrade.
Last year, the Warriors clearly needed a big going into the playoffs. While other serious people like the Lakers were doing an arms race, the Warriors stayed pat.
They entered the new season again without beefing up the front court, and knowing them, they will extend Klay for a ridiculous amount even though he's washed and due for a trade.

Rockets beat the Nuggets. I'm vindicated

shhhhh. I bet roland17 wants his coach back. I cant remember our last 6 game win streak. Oh lawd, we might get used to this!

yall were hating on me when I pointed this out last year. They should have wiped the slate clean when they had the chance

On paper its still good - they just need time and some humility. But I dont know if Harden can handle a rotation that has him coming off the bench some games. Harden can play better than this - he just needs time to get his legs. Only problem is, using the season to get in shape is an excellent way to injure yourself.

I have felt that way for a while. I saw one stat & I was shocked.
11 games into the season, apart from Steph , no other warrior has scored up to 20 points. Very ment!

In a heart beat! I can't get over his departure, especially knowing we have an egomaniac meerkat as his replacement.

Houston looks set with the Rockets and the Texans and Astros!

I think a regular Warriors fan on this thread was also adamant on the need for a reset and was hosed down by other Warriors fans.

I can't remember the handle and I no get time to dig.

Roland17 only thing wey i need from Jaylen brown na 1 more point and the weyrey brick like 3 shots in a row. Na him cut my ticket tonight o

No vess. Shebi dem say “shooters shoot”.

I heard his comments a while ago and I kind of see why Draymond would punch him in the mouth. When a player whose game is not even matching with their mouth dey mescayarn come your side it's easy to get physical

Not Draymond talking abeg. Anyone would be tired of that guy.

Shey we were shouting it last season when that goat got on the podcast and was doing the usual. I don’t even get why guys here are acting all surprised with what’s happening.
Steph is just wasting his time tbh.

That Dillon Brooks contract is now looking well priced. The dude is not only taking less shots but is also making them at a very good percentage. All while playing incredible defense.

Look no further than the impact of Ime Udoka.

Helping his players understand their roles, discipline and team work.

The AD that was in street clothes all the time? lol

Spurs getting blown out in every game.

At least the hype on Wemby can go down now.

Pacers

At the start of the season, I questioned how Pop is choosing to coach Wemby and the Spurs and JVG just alluded to my point.

Basically, Pop is choosing not running the offense around Wemby this season. The plan is to allow Aemby play freely and build the offense/ roster around him next season.

Josh Primo was supposed to be the PG of this current team but he ruined that plan with his stupidity. However, that doesn’t justify playing Sochan as the PG, especially when you have Graham on the bench.

Their offense looks stagnant, lacks pace or direction.

A new generation of stars

Maxey (76ers)
Halliburton (Pacers)
SGA (OKC)
Banchero (Magic)
Cunningham (Pistons)
Giddey (OKC)
Edwards (Timberwolves)
Barnes (Raptors)
Herro (Heat)

I am not adding Chet and Wemby because they lack the body of work.

Jokic has 4 triple doubles in 10 games!

This man has hacked basketball..
