Oga make we hear word. If Kawhi wins it would be on record that he did it with Kyle Lowry/Pascal Siakam as his second player and without needing to assemble the Avengers unlike your Fulani nomadic herdsman. Never mind beating Philadelphia (Embiid,Butler,Simmons,Harris) Milwaukee (Giannis, Middleton) on the way
No. Unlike KD.

kawhi was clutch yesterday kept hitting daggers. but that mccinie or what's his name and Livingston. I cringe anytime I see them on the court
The only thing Livingston is good at is midrange jumpers, and he can't even use it to his advantage.

That's immaterial what counts is Kawhi didn't get to Toronto and tried to trade half his roster for All-NBA level talents.
Well, I don't know of another player who did that, or even has the power to do that

That's immaterial when brought to the crucible of playoff basketball. The playoffs was where the deficiencies of the Raptors have been exposed. Don't bring regular season into this matter. They didn't bring Kawhi for the regular season


Their bench as it stands is competent. Who are the teams with so-called better benches? Why are they not in the NBA Finals. Didn't Milwaukee have a loaded bench? Why didn't they get to a Game 7 even with home court
You seem to be forgetting the fact that they added Gasol for the playoffs as well.

His first clutch game against GSW in the finals. But see how he is now a super star with other "decent" players. Oya, people should come and tell us the super stars Curry had in 2014/15? Instead what we kept hearing was how injuries helped GSW. But Injuries have not helped Raptors now? lol
The double standard is crazy.
Lol. So Klay was not a superstar then?

Your MCM started this trend. KD only perfected it

I don't remember LeBron being appointed GM or coach of the Lakers.

They're so delusional that if somehow they get sacked from their job they'll blame it on LeBron.

Klay Thompson? LOL

FVV is having a better finals this finals than Klay did in 2014/15.

Klay had 5pts in game 6. 5 points.

That is an aside, because, Warriors in 7!

The fact that he didn't show up in game 6 don't mean that he wasn't a superstar. He averaged 21.7 in that regular season, which is around his usual average. And besides, he scored 34 points in game 2 of that final.

So is Siakam a superstar?

He scored 34 in game 1 as well. And has averaged more points this finals than Klay did in 14/15.

You see how the double standard works out?

Anyways, no need for the long talk. GSW in 7!
Re: The NBA Begins by ipledge10(m): 6:30pm On Jun 09, 2019
I disappeared from the face of the Earth after game 4. Steve Kerr just confirmed the KD have been cleared to practice, Hopeful for game 5.

My hope is still up cry cry

Was Klay a splash brother in 2014/2015 or not?

Again, you change the narrative to dodge the topic. Scoring 34 don't make Siakam a superstar. And scoring 5 don't make Klay any less of a superstar.

So what made Klay a superstar?

I don't want to question your ability to understand things.

Klay had won no ring. Klay was only an all-star for the first time that season because GSW won 67 games.

So what narrative is changing? There is nothing Klay did in that finals that Siakam has not equalized.

Abi don't you know what a superstar is? Klay is a superstar now. But he was not a superstar in 14/15.

Well, it seems we have a disagreement on what a superstar is. But we were talking of whether Klay was already good in 2014, and I tell you he was, cos he averaged 21.7 that year, while Curry averaged 23.8.

What does ppg have to do with superstardom?

We were not talking about if Klay was good. You said Klay was a superstar and I said he was not. Siakam is good now too..he is not a superstar. My argument.

I wish I have your kind of confidence. I don’t even think I’m gonna watch...I think I will just sleep from 8pm to like midnight, then check the score when I wake up. I have good feeling we at are winning game 5

I was down after game 4. I actually thought the series was over in 5 going by game 4. Then I slept, woke up and got a different message.

Now I am 100% sure, GSW won this in 7!

Thats a strong statement. I can’t argue, that’s how my friend swore Raptors winning both games at Oracle. I mocked him and screenshot the message. I don’t know what u see, so I’m going with Warriors in 7 cheesy

Was Curry a superstar in 2014?

Yes he was. That was his coronation. He was a star from 2013/14. In 14/15 he became a superstar.
