All I know for sure is anyone who actually thinks lebron and KDs moves were the same is a certified dullard! No amount of argument can fix that. I will however pray for you lot. |

ZenHallewell:Why won't I disregard the Nets with a 34 year old Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson with 0 all-star appearance. Nobody expected them to win anything Now compare that to a team that even at their unveiling by themselves guaranteed at least 4 Championships. Claiming that the Heat were anything but favorites to dominate the league is megedefegede and you know it LeNomad was a back to back league MVP, Dwyane Wade a Finals MVP and Bosh dragged a rubbish Toronto team to the playoffs. ZenHallewell:My only issue with KD is the fact that he even cares about what anyone has to say. He lacks the Mamba mentality and it's heartbreaking to see cos he's Kevin Durant and he shouldn't give a shyte. After all there are people who don't believe Tom Brady is the GOAT QB and is a product of Belichick's system so what can KD prove. I initially wanted KD leaving Golden State this summer but now more than ever I want him to stay so people can keep crying and complaining while the rings keep coming |

The NBA Eastern Conference Finals are down by 48% from last season. I wonder what changed... ![]() |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:40pm On May 22, 2019 |
smoosh20:Don't mind these hypocrites. LeNomad is the only player allowed to recruit all-star help and openly team up with all-stars in their primes but other teams are not allowed to do so. What a load of fuckery |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:42pm On May 22, 2019 |
steady986:Who made you judge to set that parameter. A team adding KG and Ray Allen had nowhere to go but up. If the Cavs could recruit KD they would, after all they tried to get Paul George. The game is the game |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:43pm On May 22, 2019 |
By FAR my favorite memory of last season was Game 7 of the ECF when lebron went to Boston and sh-t in their arena and sh-t on their plastic dusty fans. And when he taunted them after that Dagger And-1, mehn it felt like i had Ayaan Ali's head on a pike! ![]() My King, My GOAT!

ZenHallewell:Bledsoe plays below expectations everytime. Last year he was outplayed by a backup. This year he played rubbish against the same team and they only advanced because Kyrie was arguably worse. The Conference Finals are here and he's been an absolute pile of self-service. This deep in the Bucks run we cannot point to 1 game and say Milwaukee won because of Bledsoe. His minutes per game are now dropping because he is so rubbish at his primary job that even his defense does not justify him being on the floor. When he improves I will give him his due but for now he sucks 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:08pm On May 22, 2019 |
Come to think of it some of my favorite lebron memories are from the Garden or against the celtics. Who can forget when he dunked on Garnett "with no regard for human life" Or when Lebron murdered Jason Terry on live TV. Or the infamous game 6 Lebron when facing elimination he ripped their hearts out at the Garden. Some argue that this was the most important performance of his career. Suffice it to say the celtics poked the bear, and he made them his b-tches. Their best team in a long time ended up with one ring and disbanded. They've finessed every team in the league and still they remain irrelevant, this once great franchise is now the joke of the east, hot trash! He owns the boston celtics and has a larger stake in them than the Lebronto Raptors. The TD Garden, once a place of sorrow became the Kings favorite playground.

ZenHallewell:This is why some of us are so happy when we see LeNomad and his teams fail. Kevin Love averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds in that series. Kevin Love outscored the best player on the Raptors FFS 4 other Cavs scored in double digits. 4!! I swear there are no perks to playing with LeNomad. If you win no credit, if you lose all the blame. No self respecting star ought to play with him walahi ZenHallewell:I just reminded you of their age. Don't be defensive. Paul Pierce made all-star team ZenHallewell:My point exactly. If what LeNomad did was perfect nobody would bash him at all. I am not here to justify what KD did same way I didn't antagonize LeNomad when he bolted to Miami. I don't care. Domination is the name of the game not parity ZenHallewell:Blame it on geography and the terrain at the time. Big player movements were not as frequent then as it is now. ZenHallewell:That's my point. Why should LeNomad be the only one entitled to leave their undesirable situations. Don't tell me LeNomad's reason to leave was righteous. I'm not trying to hear that ZenHallewell:You have been warned ZenHallewell:A Laker team of LeNomad, Kyrie and AD would not get past this present Warriors team. The Knicks are a mess. would rather go the Clippers or the Nets than that overrated franchise the Knicks |

darkelf:Peyton Manning was a regular season merchant. He's not as good as Montana never mind Tom Brady the GOAT |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:14pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: Bledsoe was a huge part of their success in the regular season, hes one of their most important players. Suddenly they should fling all of that out of the window? Suddenly bledsoe cant play basketball when they wouldnt be here without him? LOL! All players have slumps, until they dont anymore. He played well against the pistons, he will bounce back. I'm not about to just call quits on someones career all because hes facing something most superstars in the NBA face every single year especially someone whose offense alone doesnt define him and plays both ends of the game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:26pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: And where was Love against the pacers? or against the Celtics ![]() I just reminded you of their age. Don't be defensive. Paul Pierce made all-star teamLMAO! The Celtics actually had 4 allstars! You were asking for 3 and you got 4, what now? LOOOOOOL ![]() ![]() My point exactly. If what LeNomad did was perfect nobody would bash him at all.Theres levels to everything. Perfect or not. At least with lebron there was proof of a competitive bone in his body. Blame it on geography and the terrain at the time. Big player movements were not as frequent then as it is now.Yet most the other superstars in the league mostly had some sort of help. That's my point. Why should LeNomad be the only one entitled to leave their undesirable situations. Don't tell me LeNomad's reason to leave was righteous. I'm not trying to hear thatWhen have i ever said KD shouldnt have left OKC? Point is why GS? Thats whats best for him? Fine, hes weak! You have been warnedLike i said, you're in for a rude awakening. SWEEEP!!! The Knicks are a mess. would rather go the Clippers or the Nets than that overrated franchise the Knicksi actually meant the clippers, if cali is important to him theres the option of the clippers. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:33pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: The NBA is rife with many paper super teams that end up bombing badly.These were your exact words. In other words names on the team sheet dont mean they'll succeed. The warriors were already established. Did i mention he blew a 3-1 lead against them? The warriors won without him and still do. My only issue with KD is the fact that he even cares about what anyone has to say. He lacks the Mamba mentality and it's heartbreaking to see cos he's Kevin Durant and he shouldn't give a shyte. After all there are people who don't believe Tom Brady is the GOAT QB and is a product of Belichick's system so what can KD prove. If kawhi/kyrie and AD come i hope he stays, if only one does i hope he goes to NY or the clippers. Either way, the warriors are winning their last ring this year. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:55pm On May 22, 2019 |
Mind you without lebron the Miami Heat had a losing record, so did the cavs. A year after Lebron left Miami they missed the playoffs and both times he left the cavs they went from contenders straight to the lottery, at one point the cavs went on the worst losing stretch in NBA History. By Comparison the warriors just swept a team in the WCF without KD. Yeah its the same move alright. Pffft! You people are just allergic to facts. 1 Like |

ZenHallewell:Let's not overblow Bledsoe's importance. He was a third wheel at best. That one is neither here nor there because I don't consider Bledsoe among the league's elite. However there is a floor level that any credible PG is supposed to be at. Bledsoe has not even been there. Same Bledsoe was embarrassed by Terry Rozier in last season's playoffs. Lol don't bring up the Detroit series. That was a bye Against Boston Bledsoe shat the bed and he is shittin it some more in this ECF. I've told you that he is such a liability offensively that his minutes dropped to a series low of 20 last night. Who is Bledsoe shutting down in this series?? He's almost literally a short 1 on the court |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:02am On May 23, 2019 |
ZenHallewell:Not when those names are 3 top 20 players in the league in their athletic primes The Warriors won without him but still needed him to win same way Miami won without Ray Allen but still recruited him to win some more. KD joined them and became their best player not just another passenger ZenHallewell:I would be worried if LeNomad was 26 not 35. It will end in tears for y'all |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:08am On May 23, 2019 |
A40: Ray Allen wasnt the second best player in the league, not by a long shot. Man was a 90 year old spot up shooter. And whats the proof that they needed him to win when they won without him and just lost in 7 in the finals? LOL! Watch this... "Relentless, overwhelming, unforgiving!...Thats your future now, and i'd feel sorry for you. If it wasnt going to be so much damn fun to watch". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL5YzXLwjLM |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:09am On May 23, 2019 |
The Heat team sans LeNomad had their two best players miss wait for it: 58 games!! And still went 37-45. When Wade and Bosh were fairly healthy they got to to Game 7 of the Conference Semifinals. With Bosh missing the entire postseason. But we're supposed to believe they were terrible when LeNomad left |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:13am On May 23, 2019 |
ZenHallewell:If they didn't need him to win they could have paid Harrison Barnes max and ran it back with the same team. KD was recruited, he joined and became their best player. We have no evidence the Warriors could win without KD. Steph was outplayed by Kyrie their first time out never mind LeNomad |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:15am On May 23, 2019 |
A40: The Bucks wouldnt have the NBAs best record without him. Hes not elite but yes hes been performing below standards. Again that doesnt make him a hopeless bum that should be traded. Even in these playoffs go check his plus minus. Point is most players melt down at one point or have done so consistently in the playoffs. What happened to westbrook, kyrie and harden to an extent? They sh-t the bed, does that mean they're bums or should get traded? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:49am On May 23, 2019 |
A40: LOL Suddenly we remember injuries happen. Part of lebrons contribution bar this season is his longevity and consistency, with wade and bosh down lebron still would've made the playoffs. While lebron was with the heat, wade and bosh had a losing record without lebron. Wade and bosh missed multiple games while lebron was there but he still guided them to wins. Durant on the other hand... His team has a better record without him than with him SMH! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:50am On May 23, 2019 |
Man working out at night is the absolute best. Quiet, peaceful, intense. Highly recommended. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:51am On May 23, 2019 |
A40: They won without him, took a 3-1 lead in 2016 without him and who knows, maybe draymonds suspension is why they lost. Now we'll never know. Durant robbed everyone of a great rivalry. |
