Mad the offensive burden Lakers put on Lonzo Ball. Well,with great power comes great responsibility. One has Embiid,another has Irving. That Ball boy plays with at least 5hot messes every game day,yet changed the culture of the Lakers. Ladies and Gents....He is the best rookie from the 2017 draft. If you think otherwise,go and wash your áss.

Donlittle:Go and do a side to side comparison of the spurs and every team they have scalped in finals and tell me which teams were better. Do a side by side comparison of them and some teams in the West they're miles ahead of and tell me how that is possible. And did you just say the Celtics didn't have a bench? and Shaq (albeit limited) Jeff green, Bradley, delonte West and co. LOLThis guy is clueless. |

SIRcumalot:Lebron Choked |

DevdanSanguine:Delonte west?(Dude that isn't normal, and shaq(albeit limited), bradley(The rookie)? Jeff Green? Ok i will give you that, who are the Co? How do you call this a bench? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:08am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:Kevin durant. If the heat had Kevin Durant they would have won in 2011. |

Donlittle:The warriors would still have beaten the cavs if one of their superstars averaged 18 and 7. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:11am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:you are not answering my questions. You said KD is ruining the Nba. I gave you stats that the league had more views last year than they have ever had. So how exactly is KD ruining the Nba? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:12am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:Much better than what miami had. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:14am On Dec 30, 2017 |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:14am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:The excitement is gone. Everyone knows what's going to happen before the season starts. Ratings do not change that and there's a reason game 5 ratings were higher than that of game 4 when the warriors were expected to sweep. Given higher exposure of the NBA and going population ratings should be higher. But maybe if there had been better parity ratings would have been much higher than they were. |

A40:actually history don tell us say na the mavericks. miami no win title no even be first for their conference. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:18am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:Fallacy. If people aren't excited, they wouldn't watch the games. I watched the NBA Finals because i was excited, so did almost every other person that watched the game. Why the heck would you sit and watch some thing that doesn't excites you? But the stats said ratings were higher, views were higher, So i don't know what you are analyzing, or why you are analyzing. Millions enjoyed the game. Millions were excited, and Millions will still tune in to watch this year. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:28am On Dec 30, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:Which Mavericks? The ones that finished 3rd seed? Abi who get home court advantage for that Final? Miami or Dallas? |

A40:Why quote a donkey if you know his statement is false? except you agree with him or are shamelessly trying to sneak in a point. You know all of that so lebrons case isnt different from that of these people, KDs is. Imagine jordan joining the celtics or pistons when they were handing his as- to him. Their starting point is immaterial! They became the best team immediately they teamed up. Nobody was crazy enough to bet against Miami winning not 1. not 2. not 3. You get the gistWell whoever placed a bet for them to get the one seed certainly lost. You were not saying this nonsense when LeQueen with Wade and Bosh still went to add Rashad Lewis, Ray Allen to what was the best roster in the league, and especially in that weak Eastern conferenceYour shameless hypocrisy is starting to become funny. First you said ray allen was an old man, now an even older ray allen is the equivalent of adding the second best player in the league to a 73 win team? you are not even serious small fry! Sweeping the Heat is a massive achievement! What with all-stars like Udonis Haslem? What was the competition in the East? Charlotte Bobcats? Raptors? Orlando Magic? Loool! At least in the West we had San Antonio, LA, Dallas Phoenix and OKCThe magic beat the cavs and the celtics beat everyone. It took the best team in the west you are so proud of 7 games to beat this old men! If not for certain circumstances they would have lost to these "old men" If 3 old niggas could dominate the conference then how much more 3 young niggas still in their athletic prime!3 HOF's. Did Golden State beat Cleveland at full-strength prior to KD? If the answer is no then pray tell why are you asking me such a stewpid questionWhy wont i ask since you larrior bandwagon curry dick riders keep saying the league did the cavs a favor by suspending draymond. Leads are blown in Sports all the time. Keep clutching straws! Your Queen could not beat a bunch of old niggas in his athletic prime and radio'd for backup. Even with all that help still lost to not one but two old ass niggas in his athletic prime.What kind of stupid statement is this? so you're forbidden from playing on the same team with your draft mates? FOH!The GOAT woulda won 9 rings if he joined his mates to beat a 'common foe' so FOH with the hypocrisy. If every player joined up to beat a common foe we wouldn't have a leagueLMAO If the flat track bully wasnt an alcoholic gambling addict he probably would have won ten, seeing as he was playing against plumbers and truck drivers! Lmaooo how do you type bandwagoner with a straight face? Even your leader is a bandwagoner. Salty Bronsexuals are just made cos they know more Final L's were confirmed the day KD moved to OaklandLOL! So you're admitting KD ruined the parity in the league. I should stop here. No one knew how far a team with Wade and Bron and Bosh would go? You must be crazy! No wonder you keep changing handles like drawers. MDMA would do that to youWerent people calling them a bust when they went 9-8? FOH!!!! Put any all star in that Heat team and they are good. Your Queen lost to old ass Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki with teams that weren't stacked with that much talent but made the finalsTheyre good but not championship calibre. As to the latter statement, whats Your point exactly? And did you just say the spurs that beat the cavs arent stacked? Or the spurs that beat the heat in 2014 werent better than them? Just shut up man! KD beat the foes he could beat you bumbling clown! Dallas and San Antonio are championship teams he defeated. Teams who beat your Queen and his subjects in the Final and struggled till his 10th year unlike your Queen who ran to South Beach after 7 yearsHe couldnt beat the warriors, so he joined them. All that matters now, hes a soft snake. You Bronsexuals should channel your ridicule to stopping Golden State from condemning your leader to another Finals defeatWe already know the warriors are losing the finals Curry, ankle vs OKC WC semis game 6 Durant leg vs HR WCF game 5 Draymond groin vs HR WCF game 7 The king sweeps the warriors and asserts himself the undisputed greatest of all time. |

A40:The ones that gave kobe and the reigning champs the beating of their lives. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:38am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:Yet millions more could have been excited and the millions who were could have been more excited. Dunce, there are a lot of factors that contribute to ratings, not just excitement, do you understand? Besides, fans will watch the finals for the same reason people watch their games even when they know they're going to lose. If people are excited this year its because they hope one of these teams will stop you larriors in your track. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:40am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:The league is making money, more people are watching the game than ever before. Podcasts are growing and making money over the news in the nba, but Durant is ruining the League. What exactly is your own definition of ruin? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:43am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:Story for the gods. Your Queen teamed up with his draft mates to depose an older enemy. It was a sure shot! If he wanted to start from scratch then he shoulda gone to Washington and joined a rookie John Wall so we know he meant business KD was a free agent. Abi have you forgotten how the rules work? Of course Howard later requested for a trade. You think say na only Lebron wan win ring? Whether you like it or not your Queen made Super teaming a culture. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:43am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle: ![]() So if the league is making more money that means people are excited? Does more people watching mean the league is more exciting? The league is ruined because every true nba fan knows the script before the movie is out. spoiler alert: the warriors win. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:45am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:You've never heard of the word upset have you? Didn't the 8th seed Grizzlies beat 1st seed San Antonio same year |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:46am On Dec 30, 2017 |
A40:LMAO! KD should have gone to his home state of Washington in 2016 and joined wall and beal. That would have been much better. The worst part is that he was a free agent, he wasnt traded to the team that beat him like IT but he willingly joined them the cupcake. LMAO! so why were you using howard as an example in the first place? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:46am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:Can you hear yourself? Why would you pay to watch something that isn't exciting, and even if you pay, and it isn't exciting, you would give it a negative ratings like they do in movies. Have you heard of any negative ratings of recent? No. In The Nba Finals? No. So wtf are you on about. If the league is boring, not exciting, The nba won't make money, and then you can say, the Nba is in ruins. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:48am On Dec 30, 2017 |
A40:That speaks a lot about parity those days that the mavericks could stage such upsets. Can you imagine a team in the west staging an upset against the warriors over 4 games? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:50am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Donlittle:NBA fans watch games for the sake of it even when excitement falls. There are also new fans who are just starting to watch the NBA so stop using ratings as an indicator of excitement! Every NBA fan i know that doesnt have currys balls down his throat regardless of team affiliation is complaining about KDs move. That NBA finals was one of the most boring in recent times! |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 8:56am On Dec 30, 2017 |
A40:The 2011 NBA final champions that maverick. Choke on a fat one donlittle. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:56am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:That is definitely not true. Go check attendance for philly games when they were losing compare to now that there is excitement. I am a dallas and i do not watch their games a lot because we are tanking, and there isn't a lot of excitement. Vivalabyke gets excited and watches the lakers game, once the excitement is gone, (Ball) He turns of the TV and goes to bed. Philly fans stopped going to their games because their wasn't excitement. Guess what teams get tons of fans because ben simmons and embiid excites them? Philly. Even celebs go watch them. I do not like KD move, same way i did not like lebron move. But if LeBron move can be justified by his fans, why is KD being crucified? But if lebron fans can justify their man going to miami back in 11, Warriors fan can justify the same thing. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. |

Donlittle:You no lie,haven't even seen a Laker game since Zo got injured. ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:00am On Dec 30, 2017 |
DevdanSanguine:That's because the West was the tougher Conference. This is what we have been telling you about your Queen. Between 2010-2014 it produced 3 different champions. I don't know why you are hollering parity when we always told you the West is tougher. Besides this said parity is nonexistent in the East. No? Aren't you one of the clowns that claimed The Spurs woulda beaten Golden State if they had Kawhi last season? The apparent lack of parity is because everyone is following your Queen's example. Star players now form a cluster rather than compete because of the Celtic Big Three and the Heatles |
| Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 9:01am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Been enjoying the K.D/Lebron arguement....Great points made. In my own opinion tho,K.D is/was my best player in the league when he was at OKC...and mehn was i livid when he joined the warriors...But reality beckons..he is already on the warriors team which makes them arguably the best team in the league... All we and our teams can do is to tactically see how to beat the warriors come playoffs and teams like the rockets,celtics,raptors etc are showing glimpse of that... |
