I’m so mad right now, KAT didn’t make all nba team.

Before this season every GM and most sport writers would have picked KAT ahead of Jokic to build around. Now I don't think even one will pick KAT ahead of the joker

I guess the Warriors need to start losing every game and series to make the NBA interesting to get the ratings up since teams have refused to step up.

Bunch of confused fans who want equality of outcome are the ones mad keep shouting about how the warriors made the NBA so boring like it's their fault teams like OKC, Utah, etc keep getting swept in the playoffs. Fans need to understand that other teams just need to step up.

I think if GS wasnt playing, ratings would be even worse. Hard core bball fans love parity. We love seeing Bucks and Raptors in the ECF instead of the usual. Casual fans are moved by names instead..Curry, Lebron, Durant etc If these guys arent playing, they aint watching.

Jokic for Assists and playmaking, but KAT for scoring and rebounding.

Did I say they were not potent? You would rather rush to type instead of paying attention. They averaged those numbers in their 30's, LeNomad did it in their 20's. The Heat had more time to expect more elite production the Celtics didn't

LeNomad gathered players that averaged this
Chris Bosh - 24-10-2
Dwyane Wade - 26-4-6

To fight 35 and 36 year olds that were averaging
Paul Pierce - 18-4-3
Kevin Garnett - 14-7
Ray Allen - 16-3


That is the crux of this present matter. Don't moonwalk to old arguments


They were in their athletic primes. Stop comparing their title window to that of the Celtics.

Everybody expected the Celtics and Heatles to steamroll the league. Some of us are very long in the tooth and actively followed basketball back then so don't come and revise history for us. The Celtics had just one major threat which was Kobe and the Lakers

If bringing 3 All-stars did not guarantee domination then the Celtics would not have gone from a 24-58 team to a 66-16 team in one season, neither would the Heat jump from not making the playoffs to 4 straight Finals.

Imagine someone telling me 27 year olds averaging these numbers would not dominate the league

Chris Bosh - 24-10-2
Dwyane Wade - 26-4-6
LeNomad James - 29-7-8

Sakamanje

A 16-10 and 17-8 bum. If that's what it takes to be a bum I'd hate to know what you need to do to be an all-star


I no just wan hear any excuses next season
You're just changing the argument to run away from the original topic. Even though Bosh and Wade were averaging those high numbers, they hadn't gone to the Eastern conference finals let alone the NBA finals in the last 4 years before LeBron joined them. Whereas KG and PP, even though they averaged those low numbers, they had gone to the NBA finals in 2 of the previous 4 years. If LeBron chose to join the Celtics then, that would have been considered a weak move. But no, he decided to join the team who needed help.

Get a girlfriend/ wife, get a job or get involved in some voluntary community services. You have too much time to seek for attention. I haven’t seen anybody here who says Lebron is not making all nba. You just need something to talk about.

Imagine OkC with an MVP finalist, an all Nba first team, all nba third team got swept by one all star. The most disappointing teams this year are OKC and Celtic.

And Golden state had just 2 all nba selections too. Yet they knack teams

You are right about OKC and celtics yet people gonna still hate GSW.

With a 3-1 Lead against the warriors kevin Durant proceeded to shoot 12/31 and 10/31 in games 5 and 6 respectively. Game 6 was at home in Oklahoma. This shameless b-tch decided to join the warriors the same year cheesy cheesy cheesy

Your crying doesn't change the fact that KD has two rings and is about to match Lebron with 3

And then become the best player in the NBA (if he already isn't)

I disagree.I live in Minnesota, I watch half of timberwolves games. They really need a good PG, rose can be back up because of his injuries. What do u expect from a team that have Taj Gibson and Jeff Teague as starters?

I can say Timberwolves have the worst backcourt in the league. you can’t expect 30 points from Timberwolves backcourt in a game.

The Raptors are in trouble with the bricks they are laying.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:08am On May 24, 2019
Gianis is very limited offensively and this makes his game quite predictable. He needs to spend the off season expanding his offense and polishing his footwork under the paint.
The Raptors are making horrible decisions with their shot selections early on. Credit to the Raptors though, they are competing without their superstar who is obviously injured.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:15am On May 24, 2019
Both teams are just bricking everything LMAO cheesy

Re: The NBA Begins by ipledge10(m): 2:22am On May 24, 2019
I believe if Lebron still in the East, he would beat both teams. These teams are so horrible offensively. None of them stand chance against warriors the way they have been playing this series. As for Bucks, just lock them outside the paint, and reduce their fast break points. Warriors without KD with Iggy will beat both team in 5.
