All this Leflop fans all coming out after thier queen cried out so they can suspend Draymond. Now he is having 41 point and people are hyping him. Can he do that with Draymond is around.? I have said it, this guy will cheat his way to a ring. He is no leader. Did you see how he avoided Kevin Love when he wanted to give him hi 5. To him now, he is the man. He forgets that there is no i in team. I wish i could just sleep and wake up thursday night when Draymond gets back.Hopefully, he gets the MVP which will be the final insult to Leflop's career.

Kyrie Irving reminded everyone the game is about getting buckets dropping 41 points to help the Cavaliers force a game six back in Cleveland.

Na we not.you should be worried you only got James and Irving.Queen James is now given love the cold shoulder.You should be worried.It takes a team to win championship and what happen today is individual stats.
Your malicious attitude towards king James is becoming bigger.. fvck individual stats. durant nd westbrook win games with that atimes, klay nd curry atimes too.when were accepting what they did yesterday night, you're calling that an individual stat. what you said didn't 'WOW' me at alllll. two players scored 41pts in a finals game, which no team has ever done in history, you called it individual stat...
lebron gave out 7assists nd irving had 6, you call that individual stats.
when you need a gamesl badly, you'll go mastiff to get it

Like i said. Lebron is all about stats. You can see that for yourself. When you need a game badly, you cry to the officials to suspend a player. Is that what the best players on the planet can do? Cry? How about he should man up and play the game like a man. There is no point arguing about this game.Its gone. I look forward to Thursday night when Draymond returns.The team will be balanced and it will now be best of the best.

This is no malicious attitude. This is the final for God's sake and people paid good money to watch the best team go after each other. He removed that. If Lebron played without Irving, they would have lost. Everyone knows the game revolves around Klay,Curry and green and he did that on purpose. This guy is no great to me. He is a cheat but its all good. Thursday is around the corner.

Curry is the finals MVP grin

Bogut is a huge loss but not as much as Green was (even though I felt they could have closed a home game without Green).
finals MVP?? i doubt that. the award is meant for anyone who goes hard in the finals, apart from game4, he's been cooking in the rest of the series
I swear, gsw will notice bogut absence. who will protect the rim more

tbvh you need to rest on this LeBron issue, all you do is look for cheap excuses and rant about LeBron easing his way to the win, if LeBron played with this if bron played with that.... If curry played without klay do you think you wld win?? Wo abeg chill... Game 5 was supposed to be a blow out if not for klay pls just rest this issue, you aren't making any sense on this bron issue.
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 11:40am On Jun 14, 2016

I have seen most of your post and it will just send me down another defending LeBron path.
just find out what really was going between Kevin Love and LeBron in that post you mentioned above.

Draymond got suspended cause of a flagrant foul for Christ sake, he should hve been suspended for that against okc.. but the NBA cant let him go away with this time.. this is finals a player dont hve to act aggressive or say silly things. coach rue even got fined for saying he doesnt get calls. Youre talking as he if he planned everythin, as if he told the NBA organization to suspend him. if he shld do that again in game7, he'll get suspended again.
You never said the major thing, you're talkijg bout lebron crying for the organization to suspend a player, Do you even know what youre saying

but why should curry stop giving is all ?
when he also wants to get the max the next payday.
concerning Barnes,then you will lose him and see how hard it is to find a wing that gives you what Barnes.
I still expect the warriors to do well but na the first crack be that cheesy.
What does Barnes give? I want to know before I list like 5 ninjas that would replicate and charge far less.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:59am On Jun 14, 2016
The best way you have a shot at not getting beat is to best remove the top defensive players. He walked over Draymond knowing Draymond would do something for who Draymond is if not why walk over a man when there's space around to get back on your play. Draymond bites the bait, LeBron mentions it in the press conference, NBA is forced to check the clip and decides Draymond suspended.
That's all. LeBron and Irving shows up, Cavs won game 5.. Let's move on abeg..

Game 6 on Thursday.

Barnes is an average to mediocre defender abeggi.

As for his scoring I can only remember him performing in Game 4. He was shooting at 36% coming into this series

Batum
Oladipo
Deng
Bazemore
Morris
Ariza
Crowder

Hell even yours truly would replace Barnes in Golden State easily. He is fortunate because cap space is soon to hit an all-time high but if the Warriors are smart they would let him go elsewhere. Because by the time Steph and Klay are due an extension they better be ready to pay up

fortunately salary cap rate is going higher so more money for players cheesy My son must play pro sport embarassed Barnes should go, he is replaceable angry but they should keep Ezeli and shed off Varejao after he gets his ring. We need another David lee type of player. If we had lee tonite, he would have put up Draymond's numbers and had a defensive presence

I'll take Ariza, Batum or Crowder for Barnes, with a lesser pay sef
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 1:21pm On Jun 14, 2016
Warrior “fans” logic

Steph Curry makes many shots: “Look at the unanimous MVP go! Greatest player ever better than MJ, Kobe and Lebron.”

Curry doesn’t make shots: “No he’s not a ball hog like Lebron. He plays as a team. He’s injured as well.”

LeBron makes many shots: “What a selfish ballhog. He’s doing it for the stats.”

LeBron doesn't make shots: “Lebron is old and overrated. He’s getting carried by his team.”

EDIT: I don't think many people caught the sarcasm in this post. I was mocking how GSW "fans" contradict each other where they say one thing for Steph Curry but then carry on to say ANOTHER thing for Lebron.

Example: Steph Curry passes the ball to teammates and he's a team player. Lebron passes the ball to teammates and according to GSW fans he doesn't have that killer instinct like Kobe, MJ etc. These "fans" contradict themselves.

Lmao you have my mindset. Either boy or girl they must choose one sport

Barnes is very replaceable, the guy cannot create his own shot, average defender. I rate Green, Klay, Iggy even Steph ahead of him defensively

David Lee was another underrated ninja in last year's Finals. His rebounding was very helpful and he chipped in with a few buckets too

You don't overpay a 4th maybe 5th wheel when the league is bursting with those caliber of players dying to win a Chip. His PER is below the league average FFS

Its how the Spurs remained relevant for so long

batum maybe and you'll still have to pay the max,crowder is under contract so you will give up some asset.
Deng and ariza aren't upgrade and you still have to give something to get them.
oladipo and bazemore no reach.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:40pm On Jun 14, 2016

Batum will take reduced pay unless he wants to retire without a ring

Swap Crowder with Barnes. I doubt Crowder has more trade value

Deng is a massive upgrade on Barnes on both ends of the floor. If the Warriors get Deng that 3peat is too sure. Whaaat

Ariza is cheaper and can do what Barnes does for the Warriors (whatever that is)

Oladipo will probably not leave the Magic but if he did he is also better than Barnes, ditto Bazemore

GSW would be real silly to overpay for Barnes with Steph, Klay still waiting down the road

Which oladipo is better than Barnes in what way?
I still don't see how Batum taking a discount won't still affect the warriors.
Bazemore and Barnes are both SF, same draft class, same team they traded one away what does that mean?
Ariza and Deng are past their respective prime and are both above 30.
How is crowder for barnes going to work?
If he is that replaceable let him walk. Simple don't try to paint the guy as what he isn't.

Oladipo is a better scorer not by much but he can at least create his own shot, their defense is at par

How will it affect the Warriors? They would be getting a better player for less

Bazemore was undrafted, and unfortunately he started slower than Barnes, however since joining the Hawks we can now see that while one player has raised his game the other has stagnated

Its not about being in one's prime its about filling a role. Can Ariza and especially Deng play in Barnes's role? The answer is an emphatic YES and they will do even better

I have shown you stats that highlight the fact that he is an average joe easily replaceable on a good team. Whether the Warriors opt to do so is another story. However the notion that few can do what he does is a myth

if his type wasn't in demand we won't be talking about a Max contract.

Is oladipo coming to the warriors to score ?
Would you say bazemore as done a better job than caroll since he became a starter?
Barnes can play 3 and 4 In your death lineup
Can guard anybody from 2,3 and some 4's
And rarely gets injured his (check Deng history)
I haven't exaggerated his impact I only mentioned the scarcity of his type in the league.
All the other guys with similar skill set will require some sort of trade to acquire and they won't be traded for scraps.
if the warriors think he isn't worthy let him walk start iggy Or promote somebody from the bench
am not saying anymore.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:38pm On Jun 14, 2016
Lets be honest and give credit where and when it is due. Lebron had one hell of a game last night, he was on BEAST mode and i don't exactly think green's presence on the court would have changed Lebron's mentality in that game. He simply went for jugulars (lower his shoulder and breeze to the rim) and it was barbecue chicken for him.

Warriors and Kerr made a huge mistake by allowing Lebron steam hot with his jumpers, after he made 2 consecutive 3's they should have made adjustments and force the ball away from him, Kerr was playing percentages on Lebron and he consequently could not miss, which is one fearful thing about shooting, it brings confidence.

Apart from game 4, Curry has been abysmal in this series, he went 8-21 (FGA/M) 5-15 (3PA/M), 4 turn overs which was the highest amongst his team mates and a mere 4 assist last night. Credit to Lue and the Cavs for the adjustment they have made on Curry, they are punishing (Physical) him on the pick and roll and i think the referees have been turning a blind eye on some ridiculous fouls on Curry this series, however, he has to figure out a way to escape the double team and that is by passing the ball and finding the open man or just like clay, slip out of the pick and roll for some space to shoot.

Green is an inevitable piece in what the warriors do on both ends of the court, infact, Green defines their small ball, he is a match up nightmare. His return would be huge for them.

As for Barnes, its a no brainer to trade him for any of the players A40 mentioned, he lacks creativity which is a vital component of the Warriors system.

Warriors in 6..
