Stop being unnecessarily dumb man. You cannot quote any of my statements, asserting that Trae cannot become better than Curry, instead you quote your post and make an inconsequential argument about numbers. I was wrong on the numbers, but again that was an extrapolation. Since you mentioned more than 1 person, it's only reasonable to present the argument of top 5 point guard. All I can understand from the current exchange is that you have realized your mistake, but you are unwilling to admit it. It seems you just type without thinking deeply.

LOL This quote mentioned top 5 point guards? You seriously need help.

LOL! Me saying trae young will throw himself into the discussion as one of the best point guards this year = Trae young is a top five point guard in the league in your head.


Yeah i'm the dumb one. Like i said, you need help. The kind i certainly don't have the patience to offer. Leave me alone.

Benji93 tone it down man! We can have sane debates here without attacking the person on the other side.

It's just a game. Always remember that.

It's a code I can't get jiggy with sha. Unless it's your brother or in Amanda Nunes's case your spouse then I don't see the point of it. In DCs case he went to pick up two losses to Bones and in Romero's case he can't make weight in his division even for title fights. Makes zero sense that you're the only one sacrificing your career for said 'friend' (worked out for DC to be fair)

Dana White does not care for fight fan purists. He is always after what would bring in the most casuals. An Izzy vs Romero fight will bring in more casuals plus Romero is a credible challenger. It's a fight I wouldn't miss

I won't sell Cannonier so short but the thing I like about Izzy is this is the 3rd straight fight he's showing me something different and something I've not seen before. It's a sign he is getting better

That is the angle you are viewing it from. All I'm saying is a suspect chin can be hidden but exposed the higher the quality of guys you fight. Age and attrition can wear down your chin (cc Spider) but for a guy like Weidman it's clear beyond reasonable doubt that he had a glass jaw and only got exposed as he went along

Whittaker doesn't have or might not have a glass jaw same way George Foreman did not have a glass jaw as people wildly erroneously thought. Anyone can get caught in a fight, it's the frequency that determines like in Weidman, Arlovski or Overeem's case. Not just one fight

Fair enough. It could be so. However you have to consider that most of these fights actually get won and lost in the latter rounds. He slowed down against Costa (I thought Costa won that one easily don't get the outrage)

The more reason I need for Bones to leave LH. He has zilch left to prove. I know I will never be arsed to watch another Jones fight at LH. He's beaten every credible challenger in the division in the last decade. It's a year end, he's USADA free, healthy and still can't get a fight. No wonder he's all over Twitter mouthing off at Stylebender every other day

I agree there is a wider jump in weight than boxing but harder is a stretch. Both of Jones last two opponents were middleweights. Gastellum moved up. A lot of fighters have routinely pulled it off. Jones has the build to pull it off easily

Jones knows his fancy moves will be a lot harder to pull off in Heavyweight where a body shot can scatter all your well thought out plans at the drop of a dime. There are many older slower guys in the Heavyweight division but Jones knows the risks far outweigh the rewards

I don't want Stylebender anywhere near Bones for now. In another year and a half or so we can revisit the discussion. Right now he wouldn't stand a chance

That Rockets-Wizards game though. 159-158? Damn.

When people realize they don't have any reasonable points they resort to an aggressive rhetoric as if that is going to add more sense to what they're saying.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:00am On Oct 31, 2019
Phoenix Suns on a 21-0 run. This is bad bad defense. No effort.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:04am On Oct 31, 2019
This one is on Steve.

Not a home game where you have to play to your crowd.

Nah.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:07am On Oct 31, 2019
Give up 43 pts and score 14 on your home floor.

Nah, Steve.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:11am On Oct 31, 2019
43-14 first quarter. This is the most difficult first quarter I've ever watched. Zero effort plus very sloppy offense. And these are just the players playing like they have no will to play. Do they even practice? undecided

This is ugly! What's going on with this GSW team?

Even when we had our full team, we never were 31pts above any team in the first Q.

Something is wrong.

But better now than later. So I don forget this game.

Moving on.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:14am On Oct 31, 2019
This one is on the coaching staffs and team leaders in Curry and Draymond. You can't start this bad to the Phoenix Suns.

This is the worst start I've ever seen in like 3yrs. I'm still watching but I just want to disappear at the same time. I'm not even watching what they do on court. I'm just watching their reaction and demeanor to the whole thing. grin
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:20am On Oct 31, 2019
The commentators are worried. I can feel it. grin grin

I'm not impressed at how Curry & Draymond are leading this team. See turnovers! These guys are not confident at all.
Re: The NBA Begins by Neimar: 4:23am On Oct 31, 2019
nonsense

GSW is crap

grin grin
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:34am On Oct 31, 2019
Is Draymond using his anger at the reds as an excuse to go to the bench and not be part of this disgrace? Put that man on the floor.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:34am On Oct 31, 2019
Man. Stephen A is going to feast on these Warriors tomorrow

Can't see this team making the playoffs. And that will be a huge stain on Steph and Steve Kerr
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:39am On Oct 31, 2019
Not enough is being said about the trainwreck Luke Walton is also running with the Kings

Do the Warriors have a first rounder for next year? Because if they do they might as well tank.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:16am On Oct 31, 2019
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 5:18am On Oct 31, 2019
Good to see Kerr throwing in the towel early and letting the new guys play. They are playing better and seem to be comfortable with each other on the floor. They are also communicating on defense unlike when the vets were on the floor.

Luke Walton and Steve Kerr getting exposed..
Yeah!! They're winning record was a fluke. Right?
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 5:27am On Oct 31, 2019
Curry tweaks his ankle and looks like he injured his wrist. He won't return. I don't know why I'm not sleeping this match away.


I should have known something would definitely go wrong once they said it was LGBTQ night.
