This thing is ridiculous, this is my first time tuning in during the All star weekend, not watching it anymore till they do something to the game. Abnormal. |

SIRcumalot: Oga, I said Lebron never answered that question till 2013. He was always answering it with the same "Kobe is not my rival" "Y is not my rival" etc. SIRcumalot: If you read the link on Paul Pierce you'd see LBJ say Kobe and him are not rivals because they never played in the playoffs- and that he defined rivalries based on post-season matchups. Ok. 2014, same Lebron that had played Spurs back to back in finals claimed they were not his rivals even if he had played them twice with the same team. Again, now GSW and CAVS have played back to back and he claims no rivalry exists yet that was his criteria when it came to P.P. Hope you get me now. He is changing the rule midway. I guess if he was ever to beat GSW in another final to make the head to head 2-1, he would immediately say they are his rivals when asked the same question. Typical LBJ. SIRcumalot: "Oju aye" I think that's what yorubas call it. Same LBJ when he was asked how to guard Steph Curry in 2014/15 finals said "same way you guard me". When the journalist pushed forward by asking "so how do they guard you?" He retorted "That's the point, I am unguardable". Yes, that was until GSW beat them in that finals, until NBA started calling Steph the face of the NBA or when KG said Steph is influencing the game just like Jordan did. Bron hears that and immediately GSW stop being CAVS rivals etc. SIRcumalot: So Barkley's attack on LBJs competitive spirit is enough to upturn his legacy? It is enough to make us forget his numinous 2016 NBA finals performance? Enough to make us forget his 4 MVPs and 3 finals MVPs and his stats? You are making my case for me. That's hyper-insecurity. |

SIRcumalot: its not the same place. you might want to look at the map of cali again to see how big it is - google map la to sac. Even in northern california, Sacramento s NOT silicon valley. American cities even within a state are far apart in distance and culture. And they dont "share" wealth the way Nigeria or some other country will. In fact, te state capitals tend to be lesser developed that the main city in any US state. Sacramento is no exception. |

Demarcus cousin to New orleans? . I dont understand that trade |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:17pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
The fúck y'all saying?? I've been a Pelicans fan since Feb 2017 There's rumours Chris Paul will be going home to New Orleans as well. LeBron taught us all, KD and Warriors perfected the art.. New Orleans are going legendary and taking it to another level |

Eruditor: I don follow the league for sometime now and I can't remember when bron was asked this question. If anything,it is Paul that would be faced with this kain question because for awhile bron was the challenger. That is why I need some verification. I see what you're saying now. Bron only admits to a rivalry when he has the edge. But you can see right from that post you directed me to that bron admitted to some rival with Paul from a losing position.(the quote after the game). . it would have mattered if he said there is a rivalry in the first place. He never did. He paid curry a compliment with the unguardable comment and that is somehow a bad thing. He always says nice things about but the warriors but their is a limit to what can be said. All this doesn't matter because their is a rivalry between the cars and warriors now. That rant would sound hollow if Bron wasn't coming from a place of strength. you see insecurity,I see Confidence. He has never lashed out any of this "old in my days media type" before,so he defended himself and (KD inadvertently,you're welcome). After years of taking it from them.Miami bron would never say stuff like that even after the two titles |

birdman:I was kinda hoping you would confirm my pet theory: Which is that the warriors valued increase and the kings is what it is,because of the fake kings fans that join the warriors wagon. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 3:52pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Am still wondering why Celtics never dropped some of those numerous assets for cousins. Are they already trying to draft Isiah Thomas replacement me no understand. The pelicans got cousins for cheap,especially if cousins taste post season success he may re-sign with them. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:43pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: Are you serious? Hell no.... As much as i love Cousins, i don't need him in our locker room. He is a parasite with a repulsive attitude capable of disintegrating a locker room, especially a young one like ours. The right trade would happen with the right circumstance. I believe in Danny Ainge's intelligence and ability to attract the right free agent. The Celtics have the best environment and opportunity for any superstar free agent, and we hold the aces. Truthfully, i have no idea how the pelicans would handle Cousins on the court. I think this was a situation where Sacramento were done with Cousins and wanted him out irrespective of the team. The Kings can now start rebuilding through the draft, as Cousins has impeded their ability to build this roster. |

SIRcumalot: value and popularity are not the same thing. besides even if all sac town fans defected to GS, it would not make a dent in GS fan base. SF/oakland is a cultural mecca. Sac Town is an administrative "town" in comparison 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:50pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
tempting trade for the pelicans - two skilled bigs on the court has crazy potential. If cousins doesnt self implode first |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:56pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
birdman: I am thinking 86 Rockets or 99 Spurs. The potential is crazy but Cousins is an oaf. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:56pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Decale: You would. You are only comparing him to last season hence the chagrin. |

Roland17: I think this is the right circumstance but that is just me and am aware of the risk. Who is the target now PG13 ? Or maybe Butler. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:44pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: The risks of trading for Cousins far out weigh the possible benefit for us. The team chemistry in the roster has peaked and it is buttressed in their position on the log and how hard they work during games. There are talks about Butler, and PG13 who i believe would be a better fit for the Celtics. The reason the Kings made this trade is not far fetched, even though they may not get the expected financial compensation. The pelicans would have to pay Cousins close to $200M, if they chose to resign Boogie. is it worth it? well, time will tell. I thought the Pelicans should have pursued PG13 with that money. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 7:38pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Muna15: Yea but Demarcus? I hope he fits in though.good thing new Orleans are trying to get someone for Davis. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:44pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Skywalker5: The Pelicans would have to move Davis to the power forward position, and Cousins as the Center. I think it gives Davis the opportunity and freedom to improve other aspects of his game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:02pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Eruditor:That diva just loves the attention. Warriors are not rivals yet he is holding the Cavs and Dan Gilbert hostage. We have forgotten dinosaurs like Kirk Hinrich, Mario Chalmers even Gilbert Arenas playing Hunger Games just to be backup point You have to give LeFlop credit sha. Since the Finals loss to the Mavs he has mastered the art of manipulating the media and controlling the narrative. Now he is essentially playing with house money thanks to the Warriors failing to handle their bidness. They made a mighty struggle of winning their first title and blew their second. K.D to the Warriors means a chance to enhance the legacy further and even if the Cavs lose it would still be an argument of 4 All-stars teaming to beat just Lebron. Of course no one would point to the Cavs having the most expensive roster in history. Anyway na Golden State I blame for this arifin tbh |
Re: The NBA Begins by Muna15: 9:08pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Skywalker5: It would be interesting to see those two bigs dominate the paint against your team in the playoffs. I pray they make the 8th seed. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 10:51pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Eruditor: Nope. Still won't regardless of his numbers Can you tell me which PG Curry is more consistent or have more impact than? Wall, Thomas, WB, Harden are carrying their teams like crazy. Lowry held the Raptors steady in deRozan's absence. CP3 is CP3 and Kyrie (who Curry may be better than) has saved Cavs more this season than Curry. Curry can go 10 games missing and Warriors would still win. But once those PGs up there play bad, the whole team does. Curry is still good. I adore him and love it when he's on fire but without the MVP to his name, he's having a Kemba Walker peak season. Analysts, pundits and common twitter followers rarely put him in top 5 PG this season. I've seen a lot of list and Curry hardly makes the cut. |
