The effrontery! Abeg remind me of the teams in the AFC East again? Remind me the teams and their record that Brady competed against throughout his time in New England.
We are talking of a division where Brady won the division title since he became a starter.. And you want to talk about competition? Don’t even dare! The NFC North is levels ahead of that walkover AFC East.
Don't make me laugh. Throughout Aaron Fraudgers's stay in Green Bay the only decent QB in that division was a geriatric Brett Favre for one year. Don't make me go through the long list of sankwa QBs and teams that he feasted on. Still on still 1 SB appearance while GOAT Brady has made 9

Roland17:

Please tell us the great QB’s Brady faced while he was in the AFC East? What is the season record of the Jets, Dolphins and Bills? Those teams have consistent losing records and you want to talk about competition?

The Jets, Dolphins and Bills Really? Do you know Brady’s combined record against teams in his division?

Well, I am happy you have payed homage to the GOAT! He is the MVP of the league this season, no questions asked.
Name the QBs worth a damn in Rodgers's era in that NFC North. The whole league has a losing record against Brady that's why he's 30-11 in the post season while Rodgers is barely .500

That is most definitely true especially amongst QB's. Though I'll add being drafted into the right organisation helps a lot. You can be a generational talent a la Megatron or Andrew luck but if you get drafted into the wrong organisation nah OYO be that.
This is true. I look at a Jared Goff for example and if the Rams didn't get McVay he might be out the league right now

This is what you want to see from Steph. If you got to drop 40 a night then drop 40. That means fewer shots for Wiggins and Oubre to shoot you out of contention

He played with a totally different level of energy, mindset and intention. He has to be remain super aggressive and be Steph, the rest will take care of it’s self. He mixed up his offense tonight and did not stop attacking. The biggest problem in my opinion is the conflict of their style of play because of Klay’s absence and the evolution of their roster.

The curry critics are quiet today, I wonder what happened.
Curry can not carry a team. A 2 time mvp, one unanimous who lead his team by almost 10 points per game in scoring cannot carry a team grin.

Make we dy fear God sometimes before talking nonsense.

Anyway, anyone can score 62 points of they shoot enough but for me that's not the way basketball should be played. It shouldn't always have to be about the stat but impact

Lol, just as you have come here to praise Steph after an excellent game, we will keep coming back here after any sub-par game to slander him grin It is what it is bro. Now GS are 3 and 3. Not bad. Hope you can see the Draymond Green Effect on the team, Steph most especially. Steph looks like a new man all of a sudden.

This is the energy he needs to bring as frequently as possible. Even with his rings he still has a lot of doubters. You have people saying Harden and Lillard are better even though he has been beating them with and without KD.

I still set the bar for them as 8th seed. In a conference of 15 teams a Steph Curry led team should be able to finish in the top 8.

This is my issue with Kerr and why I don't rate him as high as people are won't to do. It's seasons like these that we want to see how good you really are coaching wise. We shall see if he proves me wrong. You can't be doing equal opportunity offense when one player is head and shoulders ahead of the rest

Even as a GSW fan, I have to agree with this. I feel the pressure is more on Kerr than Steph. Kerr is the man with a lot more to prove.

It may take time and patience but I believe GSW will rise from the ashes

Man, it's gon be a long season for the Warriors. When they lose they lose heavily, when they win they win narrowly. Maybe it's their defence they need to even worry about. You can't keep shipping these large numbers on a nightly basis.

To be more specific, their defensive rebounding is a huge problem. Even their 6ft 9+ tall guys have a hard time grabbing defensive rebounds. They need to work on that

Let’s see him do it again and make the playoffs cheesy

He won one alone and two with KD. His credibility is still in doubt.

Didnt watch the game, but arent blazers notorious for letting you score and trying to outscore you? Lets see how the warriors fare vs stingier teams

While I will not hold any briefs for Coach Kerr as I believe he deserves some stick for certain aspects, will you be honest to say the same pundits who never changed their minds on a team they rated 6th in 2014 don't have an opinion that matters? Notice how eerily quiet they are on Nick Nurse, Brad Stevens and even Steve Nash (he is new etc. But if someone else had that roster they will say he was underperforming with the team). It is one of the reasons I don't buy the "he has to prove himself" rhetorics. Coach Kerr just like Steph, stopped needing to prove anything since 2014-2016.

When Bron joined the heat, their record was 47-35 and got bounced out of the first round.

When KD joined, the warriors was a 73-9 team and just won a chip.

Nuff said. . . . .

And the Heat team had D.Wade, Bosh, Battier etc. If you add Bron and Chris Bosh to a playoff team where are they supposed to reach please?

Doesn't matter if they went 82-0. You start the next season 0-0

Hmmm so adding KD to a 73-9 team means nothing abi?

As a pG, imagine looking to your left, there’s Klay, look to your right and there’s KD. Even when you look at your back, there’s DG. . . Must be nice

They were not a 73-9 team in 16/17. They were 0-0

The Heatles had Bosh, Wade and Bron and had all NBA defender like Shane Battier coming off the bench, snipers like Mike Miller

Just like Spoelstra was able to reinvent the Heat I want to see how Kerr coaches up this team. We've seen Steph back in 2013 and 14 lead his teams to the playoffs. There's more pressure on Kerr IMO

LBJ won with kyrie and Love

LBJ won with Chris Bosh and Wade

LBJ won with AD

Jordan won with pippen and Dennis

Kobe won with Shaq

Just because he wants to discredit Curry, he tslks like as if Basketball is not a team sport with 5 players

Lebron fans, added to the fact that na only box score dem dey watch dem dull. cheesy grin. I mean think before you make any argument. Lebron has never won without a star-studded team/ another top-5 teammate, but nobody they slight am cos of that, so i can't understand why someone would think that's a reasonable argument to bring up in their spite of another player. Such nonsense.

When a 6ft 3 point guard has the highest rebounds in a team with much taller guys, you know there's a serious defense problem.

Yeah Steph is pissed off. He needs to go in that his 13/14, 14/15 bag. I mean even before people started calling the Warriors a 'superteam'

He needs to feel really disrespected to be told he can't lead this team to the playoffs.

Heard KD might be out the next 4 games with this COVID business.
