Melo's considerably LESS quick than he used to be. I think we tend to think of Melo, Lebron, and Wade like it's still 2009. These guys are all on the decline. But yeah, Melo's still more capable than mental midget Love.
I am a little tired of the cheerleading from the talking heads on TV about Lebron not getting calls from the refs. "Oh he's just so strong, people bounce off him so he doesn't get the calls". Then you have Lebron nodding his head vigorously in agreement every interview he gives. Give me a fucking break. Like the NBA protects all it's stars except Lebron, who is one of their biggest moneymakers. Lebron tries to sell a call every time he drives the lane or a guy gets in his shooting area. Guys aren't bouncing off of him. He's just not as good at selling them like Harden does, who I'm convinced must have photos of every ref in the league naked with little boys to get the calls he does.
harden= left handed rigondeaux= left handed Im seeing a trend here. I think Nobleart was forced to use the left handed scissors, while sitting at the left handed desk in elementary school and thus harbors major resentment to southpaws.
Lebron would be great in any era. But let's talk about Harden. THAT motherfucker would get exposed in a more physical era.
You're only a Harden fan cause he's a Cali boy. There's nada likable about Harden. Ugly game. Diva. Selfish. Arrogant. Cares about D less than a lesbian.
I'm left-handed. :: I'm also boring, feint/faint a lot, have a big bushy beard, a Cuban sensibility about social issues, and if you take a "negative" photograph of me, I'm as black as night. Must be self-hatred. :crying:
By halftime I think we'll have all the answers about this game. The Cavs had already about 90% quit after losing game 4. Their bitch leader getting Draymond suspended gives them a bit more confidence. GS needs to come out and IMMEDIATELY take a sizable lead. If they do, the Cavs will think "Shit, no Green, and we STILL can't compete" and it'll be over.
Dennis Schroder Jae Crowder Thaddeus Young MKG Marvin Williams Kevin Love Will Barton Danilo Gallinari Tobias Harris Reggie Jackson Andrew Bogut Patrick Beverley Kris Middleton Greg Monroe Ricky Rubio Ryan Anderson Kristaps Porzingis Aaron Gordon Eric Bledsoe Manu Ginobili Tim Duncan Just curious but does anyone here consider any of these guys better/more valuable players than kyrie irving. ::
With the attitude and softness he's shown he would have been great in any era, but more disrespected on the court than any player ever. Jordan had the flu game Lebron had the cramp game
There's NOT a Single GM in the League that Would Take the Guys REED Highlighted OVER Kyrie Irving...Not 1... Sorry, but You can't Simply Feed Data into a Computer and ALLOW it To Tell You Who the BETTER Player Is...The EYEBALL Test is ALWAYS The Truest Measure...& If that WEREN'T the Case, There'd Be NO Need for Scouting, Private Workouts, etc... REED:hammert:
You Said it Under your Other Username...You were Wrong THEN and You're Still Wrong NOW... Rebounding Leads to POSSESSIONS, 2nd Chance Points, Transition Opportunities, etc...It's 1 of THE More Important Stats there Is...But You've Have to Actually WATCH Basketball to Appreciate the Value of It... REED:hammert:
Cleveland's Winning Tonight... If/When Bogut Gets in Foul Trouble, it's OPEN SEASON for Bron and Kyrie to Penetrate and Finish @ the Rim...REED's Expecting a BIG Game from Bron, Considering the Shit Talk from Golden State, Speights' SORRY Ass Leaving Baby Bottle Posts on Bron's Twitter Page and the Reception Bron will Undoubtedly Get from Golden State Fans Tonight... REED:hammert:
On the Flipside, REED Doesn't Get the HATE for LeBron... The WAY he Left Cleveland Wasn't Cool, but Ultimately, he was a FREE AGENT...Nonetheless, he's RETURNED to Cleveland, but the Hate Persists...Bron is a FAMILY Man, he NEVER Has Off the Court Issues and he's Been in the Public Eye Since MIDDLE SCHOOL...Very Few Could've Handled the Constant SCRUTINY and PRESSURE for as Looooooooooooooong as Bron's Endured It... Draymond Green Brought the Suspension on HIMSELF...How Many MORE Nutshots was the NBA Supposed to Let him Get Away w/???.... Jordan's SINGLE MINDEDNESS is what Makes him GREATER than LeBron, but there's No Denying What an Unadulterated ASSHOLE Michael Jordan Is...He's ENTITLED, BITTER and On a Yearly Basis he Sits Back Watching Violence Erupt @ the Unveiling of his Latest Pair of Sneakers, in Some Lower Income Neighborhood.... Dude Invited the Player He was Cut For (In High School) to his Hall of Fame Induction, just So he Could BELITTLE the Guy and Tell the Coach (In Front of the World) he'd Made a Mistake... Sure, Jordan Will Go Down as a Better BASKETBALL Player, but Bron has ALREADY Proven to Be a Better PERSON... REED:hammert:
It's For these VERY Same Reasons that REED and Brother 'Tap Find it ABSURD that You've ALREADY Proclaimed Steph Curry as Being "Better" than Isiah Thomas AND Magic Johnson... REED:hammert:
Oh, for sure Jordan's the bigger asshole. I'm pretty convinced most of the best athletes are. It takes certain sociopathic tendencies to stay calm and cool under pressure. Maybe that's what Lebron is lacking.......the sociopathic gene. ::
Curry is better than Isiah. Nothing changes that. If Zeke were in his prime today, he'd easily be a top 5 PG but he would NOT be considered in the same class as Curry/Bron/KD. The legend of Isiah has grown to mythical proportions over the years. Regarding Curry vs Magic... Curry had a REGULAR SEASON this year better than any single REGULAR season Magic had. Obviously, the playoffs were a different story, but to be fair to Curry, he got hurt the VERY FIRST game of the playoffs, and he STILL isn't 100%.
You have Yet to SUBSTANTIATE Your Claim that Curry is ALREADY Better than Isiah... & SPARE REED This "He Still Isn't 100%" Bullshit...You WEREN'T Willing to Give Bron ANY Benefit of the Doubt, when Kyrie and Love Missed Last Year's Finals, so DON'T Try to Play the Injury Card w/Steph...He Damn Sure Looked 100% in Game 4.... REED:hammert:
There was a meme that showed Curry's first six years and compared it to Zeke's... Points went to Curry but Zeke won everything else. In fact, Zeke's assist total was almost double. He's a better shooter than Zeke but point guard...not ready to say that.
Cav's hitting their jump shots early but their starters aren't getting much rest while the Dubs have at least three starters on the bench. The Cav's shots will go flat in the 2nd half. I'm sure the Dubs will make a run in the 2nd half and the Cav's won't have the energy to answer.
don't waste your time...brother X, ONLY cares about points. In his mind, passing is a minor category statistic that can be ignored.
As Muzse said, Cavs are playing GS close for now, but they'll run outta gas and fold eventually. It's gonna be more than physical. GS lives for tough battles. Cavs are F R O N T R U N N E R S!
That was a monstrous half by LeBron. Nearly a throwback to when he was at his peak. If he can sustain this level of play the Cavs could legitimately win the series. Seems unlikely but sports is crazy.
I actually watch more basketball than you could possibly fathom and your opinions on basketball are literally dictated by Inside the NBA segments. Spare me.
No kidding. Kyrie is 24 years old and has already had a statistical outlier season that puts him in a very high category in terms of potential and he plays arguably the most important position in the league. But the fact that you have guys like Nikola Jokic highlighted just shows your limited actual knowledge of basketball. The Nuggets were offered Blake Griffin for him and a package of players and they laughed at it. Griffin and Kyrie are basically similar tier players (Blake is actually better)
