You know what. I've already told you what you are, a clown. So I might as well play along.


The Cavs won despite LeBron scoring 45 points.

He was obviously holding them back with all those points assists blocks steals and rebounds.


LOL. When a jester does his act, what else is there to do but to laugh.

So regardless of his effort means he was holding them back?

In an alternate world, you are a genius. Not just this one we live in.

These warriors fans think people have forgotten the kind of soft a-s team they support. If Kevin Durant didn't pull the biggest b-tch move in NBA history these bums would still stay blowing leads in the finals that soft curry will stay choking in finals. LOL! These cupcakes have no shame.
if Chris paul didn't move from clippers to Houston will you be here thinking they were match up for the warriors.

'Playoff Warriors' are a different beast. The Mighty Warriors have flipped the switch. Rockets isolation basketball can't beat the Warriors' superior high intensity basketball.

This little bungler actually thinks I'm here to impress people on this forum. LMAO cheesy

If you knew anything about Steph curry and his choking habits in the finals or what the Houston offense is capable of. You won't write the rockets of or campaign for curry winning MVP in the finals. If you're indeed a LeBron fan, have some faith. The WCF can even things out for the Cavs if they get out of the east.

Well I would not put it past you tbh grin

What choking habits in the finals? Can you put up his 3 Finals stats for all to see? In 2015, either Him or Andre could have won the FMVP so it's not like He choked there. In 2016, Lebron simply had an outwardly finals performance. No shame being outplayed by arguably the greatest player of all time. In 2017, it was close between Him and KD right up until the last 2-3 games. So I don't see How He choked.

I do have faith just very little faith as of now.

Uhhmmm The Big O, Isaiah Thomas, Stockton and even Chris Paul off the top of my head. Granted he's better than some of these guys but he has more to accomplish, he has 4 maybe five good seasons in the NBA. Don't get too excited small fry.


My opinion should change after one game? First of all I'm not saying they will but I'm saying they can and will at least put up a fight. If the Jazz prove to be a better team then maybe they might be more formidable for the warriors. Either way it's a win win for "us".

KD must be following the footsteps of LBJ too who did a bitch move earlier.

You clearly haven't been following my comments here small fry.

Go watch the 2016 finals again and see how he disappeared especially in game 7. I remember how the softies on the bandwagon were denouncing their lord for his disappearance act. Whether LeBron is great or not, there is a standard he was expected to conform to and he didn't therefore he choked. In 2015 the MVP wasn't spectacular enough to snatch FMVP from an iguodala who limited LeBron (LOOOL) who averaged a 35 point near triple double. In 2017 he got outplayed by KD on his own team and the spotlight was off him so it doesn't matter. KD will win it again this year if the warriors win it all. The Cavs are more likely to win the chip than the warriors are to win with curry as FMVP.

If you don't have faith in the basketball gods who have already decried a ring is due for the greatest basketball player of all time, have faith in my voodoo. I'm just waiting to see which team will come out of the west before I rain my curses on their ankles.

Did KD move to a decent team that was bounced in the first round in the year prior?

LeBron made Miami, Miami wasn't made.


KD could have gone anywhere, even go back home to chocolate city to join wall and beal (how dope would that be?) Or the spurs, wherever!. But he made the weakest move a superstar has ever made in the history of the NBA. Embarrassing.

We've debated the parallels between LeBron and KD before so feel free to go back and read up. I can't be the one who has to educate you wide eyed charaltans everytime small fry.

ok .my little knowledge of the game might come so glaring if I continue the discussion hence, I prematurely give up. But a team that had dWayne wade and was about adding Chris bosh was not in any way in short of superstar not to have entice lebron James as well.

So I haven’t really watched Utah all year.

My question is, Is Mitchell that good, or they have a really good system?

shocked
Utah are incredibly well-coached

Crowder has been a serious upgrade on Hood the mental ninny

Mitchell is that good but he is getting a lot of help from Utah's secondary players
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:09am On May 03, 2018
Unbelievable that Utah pretty much out 3pointed Houston. Joe Ingles cannot play like that every night else Houston are in trouble.

Gobert avoided foul trouble. Mitchell went from scorer to facilitator and guys like Royce O'Neale Burk and Dante Exum chipped in with contributions. You can't have that many role players contributing and not get away with a win

I'm impressed the Jazz didn't completely fold after blowing that lead especially on the road. It shows they are learning.

Make them no be like 07 Golden State wey do Dallas strong thing that year oh

Curry's body of work has already surpassed the aforementioned players. Firstly imo you need both a Ring and an MVP award to be considered the next best which neither Paul nor Stockton has so that rules them out. Zeke has a Ring but only made MVP top 5 a couple of times so that rules him out too. That leaves Oscar who despite having half as many rings and MVP awards has a strong case. Steph still No 2 though Big Fry.

Fair enough. The game last night made me all the more convinced that the Rockets can't beat Golden State.

Chris Paul has been a top ten player in teh NBA consistently for a decade. Stockton has stats no one will ever break and had a very successful consistent career spanning over a decade.

He'll probably get there. He's just not there yet. If one game sways your opinion on a team it's no surprise you've been posting the stuff you've been posting.

As for Zeke, LOL. He has two rings BTW.

So what did Lebron do in 2011 finals?

In 2016, hope you know SC played with a knee injury?

I don’t want to talk about 2015 because we know what hype train is about. That is why Kyrie that was matching points with Lebron from 3-1 down including hitting the game winning shot on game 7 got not a single vote in the FMVPs.

In how many games? We should also bring the number of games played so we can see how Curry that was missing 40+ games a season in his first few years is still within touching distance with the best PG. lol
