Russ is Russ anywhere he goes......We all know who Bron is,no matter the team and the list goes on....Why did he have to portray a different character in OKC and show another in the Warriors.....That means he is not who he is....

Exhibit A. I wont say anything else until after the bucks play today. Mark me, he'll make you swallow your words. Many superstars have had bad playoff series before doesnt automatically make them bums. [b]Curry played like a bum for certain stretches in this playoffs, didnt hear you lot calling for his head on a pike. [/b]Leave the man alone.

SmooshCHN:
True!!! His mind is just not on court. For a 2 time MVP to be playing like this in this series. Eruditor, you need to watch yesterday's game. The 17pt is misleading. I'm not judging him by one game but we all like our Stephen Curry sharp. He'll definitely come around and I can't wait.

I told you to stop wasting your time fasting. You lie so effortlessly. Oh!! You had Iftar already so it's probably ok for you to lie.

That Russ you mentioned. Let me keep quiet. I don't see anything bad about KD in all these. Standing for himself is not a bad thing? People literally curse him, wishes he gets injured, criticize him for making the best for his life every single day. Their careers and livelihood depends on making him miserable everyday because he was a free agent years ago. It's almost 3yrs and these people will not stop. Standing up for himself doesn't make him different from who he is on OKC. He wasn't criticized then. He made the best decision for himself and according to fans and media, he's now the bad guy who ruined the NBA when he literally didn't break any rule. If they stop disturbing him, he wouldn't bother replying them. Let him stand up for himself. Westbrook would have punched a reporter by now if he was the one getting criticized everyday like this. LeBron handled that well to an extent. Like Roland17 aka ESPN said, it's only bad it this affects the Warriors

Then you should have had LeNomad stay with the Cavs and not join the Heat when he did then let's see how many Finals he would have gotten to

The only reason why Nairaland is still relevant is because of no competition. The mf that created this site didn’t make any major upgrade since the time of John the Baptist.

smoosh20:
This thread is basically the only reason I'm on this site. I've been done with this forum since 2013. Let's not start with the unnecessary bans and censoring words..

A40:
The Bucks aren't playing today.

Eric Bledsoe is straight trash homie! I didn't make my assessment off of one series.

Steph Curry has never played as poorly as Eric friggin Bledsoe.

This nigga is averaging 8pts per game on 24% shooting!!! WTF??

steady986:

Don't you get it? The heat needed him more than he needed them. Unlike KD who needed GS more than they needed him

A40:
The Heat needed him but he ran there. Who had a Championship title before LeNomad joined them LeNomad or the Heat?

KD needed GS but they flew their entire squad to the Hamptons to recruit him. Abeg make I hear word

A40:

Roland17:


I get tired of that false narrative especially when we know the truth and how things transpired. I will agree that KD and the Warriors needed each other but I will not entertain the argument that KD needed the Warriors more than they needed him, irrespective of how many championships he wins with them. If KD joined the Celtics and won the championship people will still be mad and argue he joined a team that was already established in the East.

ZenHallewell:


Mind you, Lebron and wade considered not signing up in miami but in new york or chicago as well. Wasnt just about the organization.

I've always said i dont have a problem with the warriors going after him, i have a problem with him joining them.

A40:

A40:
Does it matter if they went to Tennessee? A team with Wade, LeNomad and Chris Bosh combining what will the expected outcome be? No need to split hairs

Why and who is the judge of what's best for KD? The onus is on the rest of the league to find a way to stop the Warriors not for KD and the Warriors to care about how they are perceived. Why did Sir Alex go on to sign Golden Boot winner Robin Van Persie? Everyone is trying to destroy opposition any which way. This is not a morality business

The NBA is rife with many paper super teams that end up bombing badly.

aliondo:


Thats my point..At least we know what we are expecting from Russ given the kind of person he is.....Lebron started being criticized from the day he stepped into the NBA till this present day....I really give Bron thumbs up on how he has been able to handle critics and even keep his family out of it......What was K.D expecting when he left for the Warriors....FFS,he is Durant and doesn't need to reply...These are just analysts trying to get into his head and he is falling for it...There is no NBA show where at least one analyst will not scrutinize Lebron..

ZenHallewell:





These are your own words. Suddenly you currysexuals forget when you were crying for the wardell you knew to return. Well normal folks havent dweeb.

smoosh20:
Fair enough. Our disappointment is that we expect someone like Kevin Durant to be able to bone shít like these. Turns out he's human after all. These guys are human. Rudy Gobert cried on camera when he found out he wasn't getting DPOY award, Draymond sent a dick pick to the wrong person, Matt Barnes drove all the way to beat up Derek Fisher for screwing his babe in his house. As in these guys are just human. Hiding these emotions is never a good thing. I'll take this over bottling it up and punching a reporter in the face one day. I don't believe Russ would punch someone. He might but you get the example. They are humans.

steady986:

The Heat didn't win 73 game the previous season and didn't go to the finals the previous two years.

A40:
Nobody cares if they went 0-82 and missed the last 10 playoffs.

When the Celtics Big Three formed they were 16-66 yet everyone knew they were going to be a problem

A40:
The Heat needed him but he ran there. Who had a Championship title before LeNomad joined them LeNomad or the Heat?

Exactly, that is a team that needed help, and not GS

Hell Nah Curry was not even 1/8th as bad. Heck even the much Harrison Barnes was not this bad. As I said this morning, He needs to visit a Shrink. Remember this is a Dude that has admitted to getting nervous before games. No wonder His performance nosedives come playoff time.
