Lol
Those are the most crucial?

Sorry I didn't know tugging someone's shirt with 33 seconds on the clock was not important or an offensive foul was below the pile of "crucial fouls"

At least we sabi say KD na 89% FT shooter, na your 77% person you dey bïtch about.

Sorry ooo. Your own fouls are more important




Salt, Salt, Salt

I'm not twisting facts. I just posted FACTS!!!

If those calls on Cavs were made and Warriors were up by 7, Bron would probably be looking for a 3 pointer. The guy no go even whyne for that call sef.

Just carry your L and move on. Ndo...

DevdanSanguine:
Seems apart from your intellectual dishonesty maths is another problem of yours. First foul occurred on the cavs with a 3 point deficit. And if were taking scores 3 fouls against 2 that leaves the cavs with just a one point deficit. Your calculations couldn't be more wrong.

DevdanSanguine:
This is just one of the many advantages being on this warriors team allows you and this is why no one will ever know or accept how good Durant is. The Chicanos in oakland say he's better than lebron and you know what he might be. But here's the thing, we will never know because he joined a 73 win team he blew a 3 1 lead against already touted as one of the greatest of all time. A team that did not need him.

Maybe I'm wrong and more championships will change this perception now or in the future but right now that's just the fact. And what if he can't get more championships?

Eruditor:
I saw that caption on Yahoo but can't ascertain if it was just a click bait. Fact is, the post game interview I watched he basically said he wanted to guard Lebron because both are small forwards and he felt the players playing the same positions should guard themselves.

Whether he will achieve more than Bron is debatable. I don't think he will (individually) but as of now, the least he can be is on Bron's level. It might sound quite unfair to Bron considering he is having one of his best regular seasons statistically, but KDs much improved defence cannot be overlooked. Players genuinely fear to go to the rim when they play us.

Decale:
The guy has started cherry picking

First foul was an offensive by Crowder on Durant with a 3 point deficit. That'd have sent Durant to the line and cancelled the succeeding foul on Bron. My maths no too good but I trust your IQ

I apologize once more...


P.S.: Leave my team out of your mouth. Until you reach half our rings, then you can say something. For now, keep quiet...

birdman:
you should check it - he did say that. and the way he was clapping yesterday, after fouling LBJ on the way to the rim like he achieved something was annoying. but its durant tho.....what else is new

no you are not wrong. Notice no one is comparing Durant to Kobe, or Jordan. They mention Lebron because he is the face of the league. A lot of what Durant is able to do is on the back of being on an already great team. I know SmoochChn and co will rag me for such a statement, but its the fact. Durant is nowhere near Lebron caliber. or Kobe caliber. Or Jordan caliber. Cat needs to be a little humble - Kyrie has a bigger impact n the Celtics than he does on the warriors, yet you dont see Kyrie claiming he has the same skills as Lebron

You dey answer am? Now the league responded with facts but since it didn't suite them it's BS

I'm sorry, unlike you I'm not used to losing so it's even more painful since we we're cheated. I'm trying to move on, but I can't fathom people trying to claim it is anything other than what it is, a robbery!

DevdanSanguine:
He has always been number 2, straight from the draft and now in the NBA. I see how that can strain him mentally.


Allstar games are based on popularity, i dont think he should care about fans not voting for him.

As for the last sentence i sincerely doubt barkley would make a comment like that him being an all time great himself without a ring. Thats would be extremely hypocritical and i really doubt he will say something like that.


He DID join a 73 win team. Iguodala was finals mvp in 2015, doesnt mean they couldnt have done it without him.

As to posterity, i guess we will see. He has more to achieve and his ink isnt dry but right now, hes not an all time top 20 player.

Eruditor:
If you are referring to the first sequence where Lebron lost the ball, you are delusional. There was never any foul there. The 2nd one was more obvious but inconsequential since Lebron is not that great a FT shooter.


And Decale was right, I did not want supporter's bias to get to me so I made sure I watched all the fouls couple of times to arrive here. Your team even had 8/9 more FTs than the home team. LOL

Bro...dunno what mirotic and your boys have been smoking of late...your form is scary..hope we not playing you guys soon

Eruditor:
Brackish. Brackish.

Who does not get excited when it appears you forced a TO off a rival in the final seconds of a close game?

Make una take heart. Ndo. Rockets and Cabs spoilt your day I understand.

benji93:
Are you talking about all time accolades or the present statusquo. I am sorry, though Durant is nowhere near Lebron, considering their overall careers, Durant is better at this point, seeing is believing, he outplayed Lebron in their christmas match up, he guarded lebron most of the time, thus he was most instrumental in limiting Lebron to a low 20 points. And for skills, he is probably better than Lebron now, skillwise.

AlderFadington:
The king can focus on dismantling you lot into pieces.
Our team runs twelve men deep! We don't have scrubs on our bench anymore. After last year's Christmas fixture there were doubts, it was close. The warriors didn't fully gel, it was the cavs home court, the admittedly dubious calls and other imperfections. Well this time we will remove all doubt, like i said, it won't be close.

This fixture is our chance at revenge, seeing as the warriors won't make the finals this year we don't want to hear excuses that we only won because you weren't there. We will destroy you in Oakland and annihilate you in the land.

Good vs Evil. Light vs Darkness. The Chosen One vs. The Slimy One. The King vs The Serpent. All for one! Let's cook these fools!

We're out for revenge and we smell blood. We're going to bludgeon the warriors so bad that W on their name will turn upside down to an M.

Durant did not stop LeBron, the warriors did. Again the system he plays in allows him such freedom, watch the game again. They did a good job of packing the FT line to force LeBron to shoot outside shots (which he didn't shoot well on this particular day) or abort his drives to the ring with passes that were either intercepted or mistimed. They were able to execute this because without uncle drew or IT there is no other shot creator and this is primarily how LeBron can be limited. I would also say the ocassion got to him because he missed outside shots he was making all year and made some bad passes.

Most of the possessions Durant guarded LeBron it's either he fouled him or LeBron got to the rim and finished. Durant alone though long can not and i repeat cannot guard lebron.

It was a bad night all round for LeBron, cavs shooting and officiating.

benji93:
Lebron cannot guard Durant either. Meanwhile i never said Durant guarded Lebron alone, that would be blasphemous (as Stephen A Smith would say), nonetheless he guarded him most of the time, when he was on the court. And a king quiver as your last sentence suggested, he caved in.If he is the King, then he must deliver regardless.And i don't see anything changing come January, because with the return of Isiah Thomas, and Stephen curry.In the worst scenario these two will nullify each other. On paper Cleveland is losing again in January. And for the officiating, i will give you the third 1,that was a foul, Lebron admits himself that he lost the ball during the penultimate encounter, when the ball went out of bounds. Crowder fouled Durant too, and it wasn't called. Your King falters in the 4th quarter when it matters most.If he wants to win another title, he needs to change his attitude in the final couple of minutes. Otherwise, the best he will get is triple doubles.

DevdanSanguine:
He is back people! We can't out our frustrations today.

Fvck the kings.
