I just pray Draymond is alright.

Fu*ck the other starters for coasting because they felt Harden was out. Fu*ck them for the 0-15 start. And Fu*ck them for being lethargic after we took the lead.

Houston keep beating the Warriors. Teams like Rockets, OKC ....are among few teams that can upset the Warriors in playoff cos they ain't scared of them unlike Mr LeBron.

In as much as I like Steph and the Warriors, I still believe they are overrated.

All these talk of best team ever by the media is just a way to justify Lebron's failure imo.

Abeg forget Antonio Brown. The guy is a narcissist! I won't absolve Ben but the criticism is still strictly football based.

This guy has attacked journalists, thrown tantrums during games. Skipped team meetings early in the season (Week 3), quit on his team and showed up in week 17 in a mink coat. Jealous JuJu Smith Schuster won team MVP

The Steelers will never win a Superbowl if they don't release this cancer. He is purely about his stats and is not a team player. His recent social media antics prove that

'Mr Big Chest'

"A complete bozo" like Tony Kornheiser would say
. Of course! I get all this...Antonio brown takes the word "childish" to a whole new level. But strictly football, when last would you say big Ben was elite...is he even an elite qb? I know the passing yards are fancy. The guy did throw 5 thousand plus yards, but is he top 5?(mahomes, Tom Brady, Andrew luck, Drew Brees,,Matt Ryan) Have just been wondering about that. And the leadership skills leaves a lot of questions. Kevin Colbert coming out to say a bunch of grown ass men are "kids" under him is just wack

While I understand people react differently to criticism Ben's criticism of Brown at the time was purely football related and about the said game. It was really nothing personal and mere looking at Brown's numbers it's hard to disagree

Whether Brown likes it or not Big Ben played a major role in helping him become the best receiver in the league. He has thrown 74 TD passes to him and Brown is yet to score a TD from any QB not named Big Ben

Ben's leadership skills are dodgy but I don't know how feasible and realistic it is to expect a franchise to go against a QB that has given you two SB's and 15 years of service. Is Big Ben elite? Bar Brady, Rodgers, Brees maybe Ryan you can't tell me there are any other QBs that have been better over the past 5 seasons. And only Brady has more regular season wins

If you ask me Antonio Brown is jealous of the emergence of JuJu Smith Schuster and it's sad because contrary to what he might think they actually complement each other and if you ask me, they are not direct competitors because their style of play is quite different.

In his less narcissistic moments he should ask himself why the emergence of JuJu Smith led to his career high in TD receptions. Truth be told I always suspected Antonio Brown is more of an individual than a team guy but someone needs to tell him American football is the quintessential team sport.

There's a reason Tom Brady won nothing with Randy Moss and Wes Welker but won multiple Superbowls with Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola

A team has 2 of the five greatest shooters of all time, plus top 3 offensive player of all time and a 2 time DPOY. All that added to a system that puts sharing the ball above ISO ball, and someone still says that they are underated. The Warriors have the only team in recent memory where the opposing team cannot double team a top 5 player in the league.
Please STOP THAT.

Even with Lonzo the Lakers are not making the playoffs. I agree he makes them better defensively but overall his addition will not get them over this hump.

. Hmmmmm. All true!!!. I think the criticism was about running routes. I know they run some defined plays, but you can't adjust plays/routes on the fly as regard to what the defense is showing you?
Re: The NBA Begins by Tundesam923(m): 12:23pm On Feb 24, 2019
We can agree ab is a " me" kind of guy. We have All heard of the stories.. the Ryan Clarke's of the world. So having another no 1 true reciever on the other side of the field would grate on him. Martavis Bryant? Hmm. Maybe before he went awry(putting it mildly) but he's productive. Arguably the best receiver of his generation and we know the NFL sees production above all else .case study: Kareem hunt signing with the browns. I really feel the ceiling on this team is lowered without him and the reputation of big Ben getting away with whatever he wants/doing whatever he wants without no repercussion does not help the culture of that franchise.

First and foremost what did Big Ben criticize? A play! Not his work ethic, not his professionalism when he was having issues with the team, and as far as I know it's the first time he ever said something publicly. There is nothing Big Ben has said that justifies this rubbish behavior from Antonio Brown. It's one thing to want to leave it's another thing to do everything in your power to try and drag down your trade value to a team that chose you over guys like Sanders and Mike Wallace and paid him twice!!

. I think we have all established the fact that ab is sick in the head right? Right! What am saying is that big Ben contributes to the dysfunction in that locker room. Like a whole lot. The open criticism of drafting Mason Rudolph comes to mind and a lot of things that we have been hearing. The Messiah complex is at work in him.. that ain't no leader to me. And u(franchise) putting all your chips on a soon to be 37 year old qb is unwise...

Overrated ke? Come off it bro. But I will say this, I don’t buy Kerr’s excuse that the team was not ready as it seems to under value the effor by the Rockets. Truth is, the Rockets were better on the night and played lights out. He should be giving Rockets their deserved credit and stop being petty.

There was a lot of sensationalism by the LA media after the locker room incident. They rubbished Russell’s image and mainstream media convinced most that his career was over. He is better than all the point guards they have right now.

I was not a fan of what he did in the locker room while in LA but big credit to Russell for not choking his career. Magic likes anything and everything that glitters.

But others have played with Big Ben without complaint. Hines Ward, Jerome Bettis, Santonio Holmes, Heath Miller. Why is it only Antonio Brown that is having issues? There was no dysfunction till guys like Bell and AB became stars in the team.

If someone was coming to a team to take your job I doubt you would be smiling about it. Even Brady was not smiling when Belichick was grooming Garoppolo to replace him. That was quickly resolved because Brady had direct line to Robert Kraft

American football might be a team sport but the Quarterback is the most important position. I daresay you would need a Messiah complex to succeed at what you do whether humble or overstated. Like I said earlier no team would side with a diva receiver over a QB that has brought 2 Superbowls. Even the Giants are still loyal to Eli Manning who has been useless for 4 seasons never mind a Big Ben who is still producing

I'm entitled to my own opinion.
Do you really think they would be champions last year if CP played game 7?
It still took the rockets missing consecutive shots in game 7 for Warriors to win.

Personally I believe they are overrated.

lolz@ Eli Manning.. and am hearing rumors of an obj trade rumors. New York franchises look poorly run...the Knicks(rotfl), new York jets( hopefully, Sam darnold turns out to be something) Yankees are ok Sha( not going for byrce Harper or Manny Machado looks somehow, u can never have too many outfielders and those are transcendent players, but...they compete every year). Am off topic here. Did you know Hines was very critical of ben and even mike Tomlin?
