NOW STATS CAN BE DECEIVING? shocked But you keep bringing up Curry’s stats and refusing to acknowledge how he was triple teamed all through the finals. You reek of double standards and low b-ball IQ. undecided
It's not double standard when you're anti warriors.

Why do you want to keep Big Al for another 4 years? You guys will have issues when it's time to pay Tatum and Brown. Isn't it better you let him walk and aim for flexibility especially with Hayward's contract on the books.

It's time for Ainge and the Celtics to adjust expectations, retool and face reality. Allow your current crop of young players to evolve naturally and look for solid mid-tier options that can keep the team competitive. If Kyrie leaves give Rozier the starting shirt, keep Mook and you guys should still be in play for a second round appearance at least

That is why it has me scratching my head because moving from him at his age is the logical thing to do and why I said I have no problems with it but in sports, I have learned not to argue about a man’s “raba”. Well, come to find out we even offered him 4 years but with the “raba” is lower than what he wants for a 4th year team option.
Hayward will be playing for his contract extension next season and he knows that. If he is underwhelming, there will no questions asked when he is moved. I don’t trust Rozier with PG position, he has a high propensity to become distracted and selfish with the ball which is against our ball movement philosophy. Rozier is pretty good when he plays under control, not force anything and allow the game come to him but that is mostly difficult for him because he seems to be in a haste when it is not necessary and ends up making bad decisions with the ball. If not for Conley, CP3 and Jrue’s contract situation, I would have considered taking one them.
I trust Ainge 100% and it is obvious he is trying to create cap space for a max player.

Bro..I think you guys should give this guy a chance..Have a feeling he will grow and improve on the P.G position..I can't seem to forget last two season's playoffs, ,how he blended with Brown and Tatum..

Hypocrites, shameless ones if I might add saw nothing wrong with the Decision where 3 lottery picks in their prime, two of whom were arguably top 5 in the league teamed to form the mother of Super Teams.

My stance has always been if you had no issue with that Decision at the time and the unfair advantage it gave the Heat then unless you're a hypocrite you should have no issues with KD's move either. No point arguing about whose fart stinks worse.
"KD joined the team that beat them and LeBron didn't so, it's different". cheesy grin grin

Easy sweetheart, you don't wanna go down that road with me. If Curry was triple teamed then he has teammates to pass the ball to, instead of trying to dribble his way out or taking a bad shot. At least that's what LeBron would do, that's why he has averages a higher number of assists than Curry who's a point guard.

Lol. Y'all don't get it. KD teamed up with the best team in the league. AD is teaming up with the worst team in the west in the past 5 years.

LOL! You want to waste your time arguing with nincompoops and halfwits who cant understand simple logic? The way i see it, if a person cant understand the dichotomy between KD and Lebrons move and you want to argue with him you're just as re.tarded as he is. Cant be me, already planning how to get to the lakers parade next year.

Kyle Kuzma is going to be the breakout star for the lakers next year. Averaged 19 last year and i'm sure he'll make the allstar bench this year. Lebron + AD PnR, Bron + AD creating Space for Kuzma beverly and bojan to knock down shots. This league is in so much trouble these clowns have no idea!

People say well kuzma isnt a shooter he shot 30% from 3 last year, well he shot 37% in his first year, that number went down because of his poor shot selection especially without lebron. Hes hired one of the best shooting coaches too recently. With all that space Bron and AD will allow him? Mahn!

Was wondering what y'all were thinking looking for a 3rd superstar when Kuzma was there. But nah! You needed one more in Kawhi/Kemba/Kyrie needs to jump on the ride too. Right?

Bojan Bogdanovic is perfect for that poor mans klay thompson role. Thats the only way a third or fourth option can shine on a lebron team.

Noisemaker.

Lebron couldn't win but you take solace in the fact that GSW lost with injuries to key players
Is that how salty you are? I expect better from someone who claims to know and love the game.

I'm glad that the GSW dynasty has become one where a loss make our enemies masturbate all night long. It shows that we are the gold standard of basketball.

Lol, again stats could be deceiving. Dou you know that LeBron was double teamed in that series? And therefore Kyrie had too many good looks to open shots. Again, watch the games and analyse them properly and you might learn a thing or two.

CuteRedd, there is a reason why the whole basketball world was shocked by that KD's move to the Warriors. Analysts call it the most shocking move in basketball history.

A 73-9 record breaking team and the second best player in the NBA joining them. An almost unplayerable team already. Haba! Think am nah!

There is no precedence to such in NBA history. Period.

A legal but shocking move. Legal is the word here. It's barely 3yrs now and these hypocrites switched from advocating for Bron, Wade and Bosh to hating the warriors and KD who were not a 'worthy' 73-9 win team as we were told (and also really good at choking and blowing a finals lead) for perfecting a move Bron started and then switched back to advocating Bron, AD and whoever all star available. One called it advocating for parity. grin grin

The double standard is daunting.

Is anyone complaining that KD might link up with Kyrie in NY? Was anyone kicking when the rockets acquired CP3? Or when OKC acquired PG and Melo? Is anyone against any of the other franchises building competitive teams like they were against KD joining GS? Do these half witted dolts really not see the difference?


Lebron: Joins lottery teams and gets superstars to build a competitive team.

KD: Joins a 73 win team that beat him literally the year before and already won a championship.


The quack doctor and his gang of autistic re.tards: KD perfected Lebrons move. cheesy

If these dweebs are crying now they will all be on suicide watch by the time lebron is done with not only them but the West as a whole.

I am just praying GS makes the playoffs even as the 8th seed, this way they dont get a lottery pick and play the lakers in the first round. Ohh sweet revenge!

Like SS said, "The beast in the East has come to mess with the West".
