Yeah. I hate Kevin Durant but this series should be about him. The guy is putting up great numbers with ridiculous efficiency. Durant has always been better than Curry. Nothing new here.

who cares? James Harden is the GOAT. lets move on and enjoy the game

It's sad to see how washed up CP3 is when compared to last year...doesn't help Rockets that even bad Gordon decided to show up so far.

I know it's hard to accept, especially for you. Watch the demise after KD leaves next year.

We all heard so much **** the past few years about how Curry is supposedly the best player in the league. Only unanimous mvp (all time sham). Yet he has 0 fmvps and only won without KD in 2015 vs a cavs team that was destroyed by injuries. Imagine if cavs fully healthy played GSW in 2015 with no Klay and Green.

Because they replaced Ariza with all 4 of those players.

Ariza > all 4 lol

the "depth" has been overrated significantly by some implying it would help the post season run. I think rivers would be the only one getting minutes on an nba roster outside of houston.

There have been more 2s shot this game than 3s (43-42)

Key words: "In this game."

Layups and dunks will never be phased out. You have to understand though, most of the guys currently playing grew up with the mid-range shot still being allowed. It's the next generation, and the generation after that, they will grow up with no mid-range game. Have you seen any young kids play nowadays? There's no old school go-to mid-range or post moves. It's all step backs, long 3s and fast break points.

No, but Lamar Odom wasn't nearly the defender, playmaker, competitor or leader so the comparison doesn't make sense

Your evaluation of what it takes to be a top 10 GOAT is way off, that's the point.

There are all-time greats who were not elite scorers, had great iso ability or post games. Draymond is one of the best defenders of all-time at the 4, one of the best playmakers of all-time at the 4, and an all-time great competitor and leader. Those all-time great talents are unfortunately counterbalanced by his being a very bad shooter from everywhere on the court. If he was a good shooter from everywhere instead, is it so hard to believe he might be in the Top-10 discussion? Could he be Top-25? If Draymond could consistently average 50/38/75 he would be a better player than Kevin Garnett.

Right, all that's holding Draymond back from being better than KG is better shooting about and higher shooting percentages. Draymond is a great playmaker at the 4, but nowhere near the level of top all time playmakers. Draymond is a very solid defender, no doubt. Essentially you want us to believe that if Draymond could just shoot better he would be at the level of Tim Duncan. Again, I have zero faith in your ability to assess this, but you can believe it, that is your own right.

Crazy that Steph Freakin' Curry has been "just another dude" out there almost the entire series.

Harden you donkey, do more than shoot step back 3s

Well thanks, that's very generous of you to affirm my rights.

Yeah... is this a real debate? KG was ridiculous. He way literally better at everything that Draymond does. He was all-time elite in his prime. They put some terrible teams around him. A lot of Minny's issues had to do with the salary cap and the Joe Smith scandal (losing draft picks).

Here is my conspiracy theory. Curry wants Durant to stay but he realizes that Durant will be criticized for resigning with the stacked Warriors team. So he is playing piss poor on purpose to mitigate the idea that the Warriors are stacked. Curry is playing 4 dimensional chess as he can see the future.

Harden disgraces the game of basketball.

NaturalThunder · Post #519 » by **NaturalThunder** » Thu May 9, 2019 4:01 am

I hate that the NBA has turned into, mostly in only Rockets games, a debate about whether or not there was a foul on pretty much three-point attempt.

Tigersrule · Post #520 » by **Tigersrule** » Thu May 9, 2019 4:01 am

hows that a charge exactly?

Who's it going to be?
