Abeg abeg. Klay Thompson is not a top 15 player let alone top 10


So you go siddan like this call 10 players in the NBA and Klay Thompson go appear? Ha!
Just to move the issue along.
I agree.
My point is to show that On whatever list you create,he probably gets in ahead of the other cavs player.

Curry - Irving
Klay - Smith
Durant - Lebron
Green - Love
Pachulia - Thompson

Guys like Tony Parker, Ginobili never made All-NBA teams but we know their quality. Look at that list and tell me where the Warriors have an edge aside SG

Even based on this year's ballots we could argue Golden State have no player in the top 5. While the Cavs do. Who are the 7ft rim protectors? I hope you are not talking about Zaza Pachulia, David West dem

Bron is a stats lover. That is part of why he is playing heavy minutes.
You no ask yourself why them Comot love for their starting line up when the cavs start their comeback for last year series.

Go read wetin I write again concerning that " 7 footer quote again" wey you dey do like say na spoil.
Zaza, McGee and KD.

You dey throw names like manu And Tony at me like say you forget who their coach Be.

KD,miss games,Kerr no even well,them sweep the WEST.
LeBron play one bad game for the east and them drop one game despite the effort of Irving,love and the rest add the injury to Lowry and IT join.

nobody need reminder to wetin happen to the cavs offense when bron sit.

I no dey tell una something una no know but as usual, since na bron we go feign ignorance.

I hate to compare but the truth is LeBron is the best player of the modern era and no one come close, not even Kobe.

Warriors might not be able to handle what's coming their way. Draymond is the only player I believe is ready for battle with the cavs.
I see argument about who's better..... Simple
You are to choose a duo between
LeBron + Kyrie and
Durant + Curry........who you going for?

Cavs got this.


I hope you don't bet cos you might have sold your family by now with this 3 in 1 analysis grin

Why did you "forget" his best year with the blazer and only remember the bad one with Houston?

But that no be the point shay two of them win anything when them part ways na the issue here ? Yes or no.
Jordan na the goat so I no understand why I gats check my expectation.
If he reach one playoff you no go bring this age issue,infact na the opposite you go do. cheesy.

What was his average that year? The way you are sounding one would think he was an All-star. He was decent but no dey make am sound like he was exceptional.

I have asked you to list M.J's #2 man without Pippen. You can't do it without google I'm almost sure. Both for Bulls and Wizards

The koko here is Pippen wey you dey hype was not the main guy for either the Rockets or the Blazers. He had more to win with sans Jordan than M.J ever did

Hahaha orisisirisi. Between Love of last year and this shey the difference isn't clear enough ni? Because I don't get this your example rara

Chale Zaza ain't no rim protector. Don't go and say this one outside oh

Manu and Tony Parker were elite players in their prime. Forget their coach and media.

You watch how Golden State play. You see the slogan "strength in numbers", you see the assist records and you are still asking why the Warriors won without K.D and sweep teams. Aye le oo

If the Cavs are struggling sans Lebron it has nothing to do with lack of talent. Because all over the league are teams that would kill to have Kevin Love as their 2nd best player never mind 3rd.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 2:43am On May 28, 2017
I don't understand why sportsbooks are putting Cavs as the underdog..

How dare you disrespect the defending champions like that??

Any Cavs fan playing underdog is disappointing LeBron, Love and Irving right now. cry

How are you certain I don't know the answer?
Am almost certain I do.
The wan you don talk like say na you sabi pass,you wont get the answer from me.

But you never answer my question you still dey blow smoke.
So for your mind,na only PPG dey determine who be the best player or leader of the team?

I don already talk am,to determine how good Pippen was If we take only his scoring into account
go check the numbers of all the sidekick to the 90's main guys.
The guy wey go pass Pippen numbers fit no pass one that is if anybody pass am at all.
Make una check comeback,I no dey fear to dey wrong.

Between draymond of last year and this year you self no see change ?

When zaza dey near rim and stretch him hand up to deter layup wetin them dey call that one ?U never see Pau and Hibbert pull this move ?
Abi for you all rim protection na to dey jump like gazelle.

Gimmie another guys other the spurs people make we see how far.

You wan shift the post shay na playing style or na personnel employed on both teams we dey talk about?

The unspeakable evil teams go do to get Durant person no fit imagine,Without losing much I should add.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:30am On May 28, 2017
zaza is not a shot blocker. A rim protector is someone that when you see you won't be able to go for the dunks, and layups everytime you want to. Deandre jordan, yeah, mcgee yea, but zaza?

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:52am On May 28, 2017
Muna15:

Wow!

It's funny how people think Pippen was the only great G on Michael's team. It might be interesting to remind you that Michael also had Rodman, one of the best rebounders of all time, and Steve Kerr who is the most accurate three point shooter in NBA history.

In all, I think it's a good thing that people are comparing LeBron, who is not a scorer,to Michael who was a 10x NBA Scoring champion. It shows LeBron is doing more than just shooting the basketball.

The scary part is just that LeBron isn't done yet!
Rodman wasn't there for michael first 3 peat, and steve kerr wasn't either. Steve kerr isn't an hall of famer. I will also pull up his stats so you can tell me what kind of G steve kerr was.

go back and watch how the spurs play defense on harden.
and out of the two examples you mentioned you gave me the stereotypical high flying defensive centers how did slow centers without much jumping power manage to ever protect their basket?

Pau Gasol is a rim protector, he has averaged about 1.5 or 1.7 blocks in his career. Hibbert is a rim protector, deandre jordan is a rim protector, kristap is a rim protector, mcgee is a rim protector, hassan is a rim protector, anthony davis is a rim protector.

What we are not going to do is call zaza, someone who has average about 0.3 or is it 0.5 blocks a game for his career a rim protector all in a effort to say the warriors are better than cavs. Nah. How do you call someone with 0.3 blocks per game a rim protector?
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:24am On May 28, 2017
I am a dallas fan, zaza played for us, we signed mcgee because zaza couldn't block the ball for shit, and offensive players were pounding the glass against him, rick was calling timeouts late into the game to get him out because he couldn't get the rebound nor protect the rim, the thing he was good for was passing the ball, and good feet. He could stay in front of his players, but protect rim? Haba

I never said he was a good one. .
if their a stat for shot altered at the rim I would like to see that,no where did I ever mention shot blocking near the name of Zaza pachulia Same way an almost 7 footer isn't a. 7 footer.
but even zaza will do about as well a Job as bogut would've done for the cavs if not for his injury.



below is a screenshot of an sbnation article describing zaza game when he was in Dallas.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:40am On May 28, 2017
There is no need for long debates except for bad faith.

GSW is a way better team than the cavs, and it is obvious. GSW has almost the starting 5 of a US TEAM and Anyone believing here that this series is 50 - 50 situation is an absolute ignoramus or blind with bad faith.

HOWEVER, this does not mean or imply that GSW will win. Everything is possible in sports.

I can't see it,i have really bad network. Apologies
Am not even sure my screen shot is displaying.

If you saw it the first time you saw words like"verticality" "alter" and opponent shooting a low percentage against him at the rim in his last year with the mavs I don't think his still that good.but he protects the rim.

he let in about 53% of shot while defending and blocked about 0.4% of shot a game his whole career. Sircumalot, I do hear your reasons, your reasons are not just good enough to validate him as an okay rim protector, he is clearly not.

We won't buy this cheap point too. Because person fit enter US team no mean say he's better than another. Afterall, Lebron no dey US team. Love withdrew in last olympics. Tristan dey Canada team and Kyrie na consistent player for USA.

Yes I can see the changes. Draymond had almost 20 triple doubles last season.

Pachulia again? Uggggh. If you no wan hear word my hand no kuku dey again

A collection of players plus Duncan formed the core of 4 Championship winning teams and you are questioning their quality?

Your style of play can reduce the blow of losing a star player. Fact! It is not a compliment to Lebron but a slap to the coach, Kyrie, Love, Smith's face that they struggled in his absence

If you know then tell us. If not then make we dead the matter. Me I'm telling you M.J never got the chance to play with any star aside Pippen in his prime so all your examples are moot.

This guy wetin you dey yarn? M.J had almost the same rebounds, assist numbers, made more steals, scored more pts and shot at a higher clip so who else go lead? M.J was also an elite defender F.Y.I

Ol boy. Was Pippen as offensively polished as Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Love? We know what the average ppg for #2 guys was but even at that M.J was so exceptional he was doubling Pippen's ppg and still shooting at a higher percentage. I doubt this was the case for his contemporaries
