Well on the fouls, we know the referees won't make those calls, they are someohow contributing to keeping it out of rythm. the guy gets bumped a lot when he drives. it's a crime to be smallish(hehehe), perhaps the referees assume he falls because he is smallish. I hope he responds in kind, on tuesday morning.

It is not even about the calls he does not get. It is the ones they call on him when he is trying to play defense. That is what makes him sit on the bench a lot and consequently forces him out of rhythm. Some of those calls have been crazy.

LMAO! I have been waiting for this, you never disappoint. He only wore the cast because the story had already been leaked. But imagine comparing losing to 4 all stars after dropping 50 on their bum heads to being a consistent scrub on your own team. Wardell whether he accepts it or not is playing like a bum! cheesy

He wore a cast to try and fail to control the narrative. The Rodney Hood and George Hill that were bums for e.g today are the same ones giving great shifts for their present playoff teams yet these are the same players you people claimed were scrubs just to make it look like your man was performing miracles.

What narrative are you talking about? Fail to control what narrative? That he lost to a better team?

The first is rodney hood the second is george hill. LMAO Great shifts indeed. So one or two games have now turned them into stars yeah? Go and google "george hill chipotle" and maybe you'll understand who george hill is. Just because they're outplaying that bum curry recently doesn't mean they're not notorious choke artists like him. Where were you when george hill bricked that FT in game 1? Or when rodney hood turned into a brick machine? You lot had 4 allstars and you still have the nerves to call friggin george hill and rodney hood. I swear you warrior fans are soo funny! cheesy cheesy cheesy

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:57am On May 06, 2019
This guy keeps talking about lebron controlling the narrative by wearing a cast? What narrative was he talking about? That he dragged a team that had no business being in the finals to the finals? Or that the warriors had four all stars ? That lebron dropped 50 and got robbed? What is the narrative this guy is talking about?

I know what causes this sort of confusion. Its listening to these so called "sports analysts" and in this case i know exactly who hes quoting, hes quoting Fake news stephen A verbatim. cheesy

Kawhi is an Animal. Freaking Monster that Man is. He deserves a Much better team. Him and Giannis need to get together for real
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:17am On May 06, 2019

LOL! The man who beat golden state in oakland, he literally beat the pistons in detroit the game before. Again you dont have an argument here.



Maybe he should have won 3 but by 2014 everyone knows wade was not the same player anymore. Maybe in that bald degenerates era it will be stacked, not going up against what lebron was going up against. The league is not filled with plumbers anymore, teams are stronger than they used to be. Celtics had 3 hall of famers, rondo, tony allen, and other sharp shooters. In the finals you have teams like the spurs with three hall of famers kawhi and an all time great coach. He wasnt playing bums in the finals.


I'm sure he would have in the era of bums!


This guy is still denying injuries did the lakers this year LMAO! Again when your four best players played just over 20 games together how, then your best player misses 18 straight mid season how are they supposed to go to the playoffs?


This is the most ignorant comment I've seen on this thread by a mile.

Easy to dominate an era of bums!



But you're to blame for writing that incoherent nonsense.


Write, magic nash kidd are all great point guards because their team mates. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Do you know why there are point guards in basketball? We need to take you to basketball 101. Another ignorant statement. Sure teammates have to make shots but how does this change the fact facilitation is an aspect of the game and that lebron is a better facilitator than jordan?


LOL! Back tracking again. Still this doesnt make sense, why is it more possible for a PG to rack up assists than say a center? You may not have as much control over this but you do have some. You keep finding teammates its inevitable theyre going to make shots.


LMAO Thats very cute. But how does this change the fact that lebron is a more complete player than he is? Thats if we pretend as if debald dejordan wasnt playing against pakistani cab drivers cheesy cheesy


You brought up washed melo, why wont i bring up ricky rubio? This is how you dont know people who only watch basketball when golden state is playing. Bar his shooting issues ricky rubio is a solid point guard. Not that i should even expect you to know that. Has it not been established that westbrick is an overrated player?


LOL Being at the twilight of his career doesnt make him a bum. He was never athletic so his game aged well. Either way Prime Carter Jefferson and jason kidd vs lebron. He destroyed them did he not?


LOL But they had a better record than the nets who were 41-41 and according to you this makes them bums. Now he starts listing the roster because it doesnt suit his argument. Tap dancing will suit you. When i say the nets have carter jefferson and kidd, he will say they are 41-41, now records dont matter grin grin


I guess thats the summary of michael Jordans 6-0 finals record.



LMAO Harden is more skilled than every player who played in that farmers league bar maybe hakeem and dark skin derozan. Harden would average 50 in that league cause he'll just rain 3 bombs on their head.


WTF is this guy saying? stop contradicting yourself, you showed lebrons teammates per and that of jordans teammates to prove a point now PER is a team stat? LMAO Do you know what PER is? Do you know that a players average PER drops as he ages and also depends on how badly he aged? Stop quoting stats you dont understand.


LOL Well hes shooting 42% from 2 this year and they're seen as the second best team in the west. Therefore by your logic the west this year is trash. Now hes padding stats, now before he couldnt get away with shooting badly, now harden is shooting badly because of competition.

Another huge pile of trash. 3 more valuable minutes wasted refuting utter incoherent trash that doesnt even need to be refuted because everything you say contradicts your previous statement. You're confused.

When is Malcolm Brogdon Back? The Bucks need Him ASAP. The kind of "Poverty Performances"(shout to my Guy A40) He keeps on delivering in this series is on another Level. Also the Raptors need to get Lowry off the Books as soon as they can. At this point, Dude is beyond redeemable. Luckily for them Siakam took giant strides this season and is now their clear 2nd option by some distance. They simply can not rely on Kyle to do anything right.
It's better the Bucks play like Brogdon won't be back. At least for this series. Guys like Connaughton have completely suprised me. I thought what he did in the Pistons series was a fluke but he's arguably been their best reserve

I'd be worried if I were Boston that the Bucks are 2-1 up despite Lopez and Bledsoe being complete non-factors

Nobody will take Kyle Lowry at this point. Should Kawhi leave they might as well go full tank mode

The Claw is playing at an insane level this playoffs. That series just began. I am waiting for skip on monday, his best center got 11 points tonight. Can't they ever hold a discussion without "if". I would probably put Kawhi up there at the "best player in the world category" with KD, the guy is fucking efficient too. Meanwhile, what the hell is happening to my favourite player, Curry, this post season, "se won ro efo fun ni". I rebuke every Baketball god, that is sitting on Curry's matter. Eruditor, the thing dey pain me no be small. As A40, will say , our guy is doing nothing more than putting out "poverty numbers", by his standards. On a more serious note i am beginning to think, size and length generally does matter in the playoffs.
Steph's issues are mostly mental. When you start missing bread and butter buckets then there is a problem somewhere.

I've always thought Steph was a suspect performer in the playoffs but this is certainly beyond the worst case scenario here

Fairly confident he would bounce back but it's not like he has been hounded on the offensive end like in years past. He and Klay have been really poor in this series

Damian Lillard and Giannis are using same players to get to the finals one year after. So I don't know what the big deal is if Lebron got them to the finals. Almost every playoff team this year have a better bench than GSW but nobody is whiny. With you guys it is "everybody is a bum". As if Lebron was scoring 100ppg.

If Stephen was going to bounce back, don't you think he should've done that by now?

Warriors ought to play like Steph is injured ooo. Because as you said, he might be going through some mental issues. Maybe trouble with the wive at home or a trial of faith (he is a christian after all).

Eric Bledsoe, Kris Middleton, Mirotic, Giannis.


Lillard, Mccollum, Aminu, Kanter.


Yeah they are using the same players. Of course you wont know what the big deal is, you dont know basketball. Ohh poor warriors, we have 5 allstars and a finals MVP but our bench is so bad. LOOOL! Lebron averaged 34 9 9 in the playoffs last year, put some respect on your kings name.

Lol after that chokejob in the 2016 Finals in his MVP season you have to question him a bit. I haven't quite let him off the hook for that

'Always' might have been hyperbole but we've seen Steph shrivel a few times. He's averaging 18pts for the series. That's not good enough

I think having to play both ends of the floor is also working against Steph. The pressure on the Warriors this year is pretty intense and you can see Steph trying too hard almost, something just seems off
