This Raptors team would have beat the last Cavs team Bron had.

LOOOL! Theres no universe where the raptors ever beat a lebron led team. Cavs would've made some moves anyway.

I told you, you dont know basketball ball. The whole point of zonal defense is to take away iso plays from the game, thats why it was made legal to begin with when it used to be illegal. Lebron playing one on one would've eaten all night, thats how jordan for a good portion of his career used iso to bully less skilled players. The defense was going to collapse once lebron made a move. So its the other way round, here the idea was to make him kick out and make the other bums beat the warriors and not lebron. That was the model that was used all year last year in the playoffs and he still carried those scrubs to the finals.

But i guess its not fair to hold steph to the GOATs standards.

LOL.

Where to start schooling you from is my issue.

So explain how he got 51points last season and the other players had poverty numbers. Juxtapose your answer with FGA.

Thanks.

Like I said, this team would have beaten the Cavs (of last season) not the Kyrie Cavs.

Thats the greatness of Lebron James. You can't stop him. You can only overwhelm his contributions. In 2011 the zonal defense worked, lebron couldnt do anything, but hes evolved a lot from that and you can see it. Thats why without 2011 he wouldnt be the player he is today.

Yeah but the cavs of last season wouldnt have been the cavs of this season. They would have made some changes. Besides, I'd take bron love and a friggin mop over kawhi siakam and lowry.

Steph Currys supporting cast gave him

30 points

22 Points

A triple double.

And then he bricked the game winner after going 1-5 in the 4th quarter.


Just be honest with yourself, if this was lebron, what would people be saying?

The triple-double guy had 8 turnovers.

The 22 points guy missed 3 clutch free throws.

The 30pt guy went down in the 3rd Q, making Steph's life hard since the Raptors resorted to box and one defense tactics.

Steph Curry was 6-17 (3 of the FGA were last second heaves in the first, 2nd and 3rd Q).

He averaged 30ppg in the finals with a TS of 60%

Add 6 rebs and 5.5 Apg as well.

Had the warriors won the series he would have been unanimous FMVP.

The FMVP had less TS%, less ppg, and more 20+ point scorers on his team.

Die the narrative you want to start. Or leave it to idiots. You should be smarter than that (147 IQ et al).

As soon as Klay went down, Raptors decided to swarm Curry to force the ball out of his hands. He was making the right plays by passing the ball to the right players but sadly only Iggy and to a lesser degree Cousins made them pay. The other players were useless. That was the reason the game was close. Of course, when a rhythm player is not shooting he gets out of rhythm and the shots become iffy. See how Lowry stopped shooting well after his foul troubles?

Whether Curry hit the game winner or not, it would have been postponing the evil day. Without Klay, we would have needed Kawhi to call in sick on the game 7 morning to make the game a contest. The Raptors had too many scorers compared to our team without KD and Klay. We could have won without one of the 2. But stood no chance without both.

Hmm. Interesting argument. I see what you're saying and I'm trying to keep an open mind. I like steph and you know I picked the Warriors to win. But can't help but think this man just keeps letting me down. Especially when I see a stat like this.

It goes to show that Curry can't really play by himself. He needs other good players just so he can get those open shots.

Nobody gives a rat's a$$ who you are or what you believe in. Phuck where you from and phuck what you're about

LarcPickerin:

No you are missing the point, go and read what i typed again. As far as the way this country is built who is at the helm of affairs does not correlate with who progresses or who doesnt. Its not supposed to give anyone an advantage for that matter. Your confusion stems from the fact that you believe anyone else deserves to be at the helm of affairs. There is no such thing as more than one majority. In every democratic country you go to, the majority leads most of the time. Not that anyone else leading would have made much of a difference. The issue with the north is not about who leads or who doesn't. Like i have conceded right from the start we need to make adjustments and we are making adjustments. But you speak of the north as a waste land like the south is some eutopia when a good percentage of southern states literally reek of human faeces LOL FOH! You're so educated and advanced yet baby factories, cultism, rituals, armed robberies and fraud seems to be the order of the day. You cant live in a glass house and throw stones jigaboo.
Ohh man this bonobo monkey is beyond redemption. Nigeria does not practice Federalism where states are autonomous. Everything comes from the center and that's why everyone is fighting for resource control.

No one said any part of Nigeria is where it should be you unrepentant donkey but only a brain dead delusional newt like you you would deny that the north is having it a lot worse

LarcPickerin:

You seem to not understand the most basic of principles. Insurgency doesnt stem from poverty small fry, poverty like insurgency stems from the same thing. I told you, every issue with the north starts and ends with education.
Anuofia ni Bobo yi sha. Is it not lack of education that breeds poverty. Lmaooo see this confused ekuke chasing his own tail

LarcPickerin:

Now you've really graduated from clown school. Most of kadunas immigrants are from katsina and kano especially and other north western states. The contribution of non northern business men here is minimal and certainly isnt attributed to them. Kano has been the norths commercial center for a thousand years bar some instances in the middle ages. Kanoans are natural born business men From dantata one of west africas wealthiest men, to his grandson dangote the richest black man alive, from isyaka rabiu to his son abdulsamad rabiu another forbes certified billionaire. The traders who drive the states economy in kantin kwari, or the farmers or even the shoe makers and the other benefactors of the leather and skin industry, tailors and small business owners. Its burgeoning textile industry, one of its building blocks for instance, the kofar mata dye pits is 500 years old. But this clown has the guts to attribute all of this to "immigrants from other regions". LMAO. An influx of immigrants is an indicator of potential and already proves something right is being done. No business man will go to a place without opulence. And is there any vibrant economy in this world that doesnt also have the presence of immigrants? Kano has more billionaires per capita than any state bar lagos and maybe abuja. Not oil, not drugs, not fraud, just pure business men some of whom dont even know how to write their names. You think going on instagram to post your chicken change defines whether you are poor or not? I guess immigrants built lagos. LOL You dont know anything.
Did I claim Kano had no Billionaires. You were definitely dropped on your head as an infant
We are talking about the have and have nots and the lack of a middle class, the fact that 7 of the 10 poorest states in the country are up north but this obtuse buffoon is listing a bunch of billionaires. Lmaooo.

Can you believe this deluded imbec!le! Bigger and richer civilizations have been built and enhanced by influx of economic immigrants all through history but this Muppet thinks Kano is an exception. Who built Lagos if not immigrants? Lmaooooo John Stockton couldn't assist this fooool

Like i said, you dont know anything.

You definitely are a clown.

I said for the states that lack natural resources, can't you phuckin read!! Where did I claim the North doesn't have resources when I know it has more arable land than the South. Nigga you must be phuckin dyslexic.
