But you pointed out 1 superstar; I just pointed out 2 superstars right...Hell nobody was cool with the Pistons; Im just saying this shit has been going on well before LBJ; although I will say players make more so they are probably less angry lol; But you gotta reminder all these players have been playing together and against each other since high school;
Golden State Warriors fans.... Uh Oh?!?!?!?!
- Thread starter IT IS WHAT IT IS
- Start date
Truuuuuue!
I hated playing with niggas like you. It is just a game and not some slave shit where the white massa put us in a ring to fight until death.
These are brothas we are playing against and pretending to not like someone is crazy. Most of the players have great friendships with each other and a mutual respect. That is how it should be. Why would you want black folks to be acting a fool?
Then you have a serious problem. When I played I was extremely competitive but once the whistle blowed and the game stopped I gave my brothas props on a good game and kicked it.
I do, I realize it and I've coped with it. Nobodies problem but my own. I do not like losing or failing. That shit is for suckers.
What are you talking about?!
He was playing in ot, he fouled out.
He disqualified himself! He had his
opportunity to play in ot. Deal with
Reality, not fantasy land!
westbrook forgot who had the ball, you gotta check curry at halfcourt
Yeah man. That shit Oscar said was shameful and bitter. Cats these days have range, and Curry is the king.That's because NBA players who play the game and know first hand TODAY the magnitude of what Kid is doing and just how much on another level he truly is understand what we are witnessing.... They aren't a bunch of hating as Niggas saying a lot of dumb shit like some of these Dudes or crabby jealous ass used to bees like Barkley or Oscar saying stupid shit...
It's was a coaching cluster fuck for OKC last night. All they had to do was call a timeout at the end of regulation when klay scored.
They did everything right to win, and everything right to lose in the last 14 seconds.
Man Oscar is right
Instincts man. it's hard to fight that. You've played your entire career and after 20+ years of playing a certain way, something is changed. It's difficult to fight off instincts. You don't instinctually think about defending a player as soon as he crosses half court in a tied-ball game. once Curry was 6-7 feet past half court, Westbrook adjusted but he had to THINK about it.. he was already starting to close the distance..but it was too late.
Larry Bird talked about this. He said he ONLY practiced three before the 3 point contest at the all star game... that other than that, he never actually had 3 point shooting as a part of his practice regiment.
It's a different game now.
And Oscar might have been partially right. Curry would have been defended directly because you can get your hands on all people during that time period...something you can't do now... rule changes do effect the amount of open looks you get. With that said, with Curry's range he's getting his shots. We're not talking about a normal shit..this guy ain't normal
80s was a different monster. Those players still dont like each other. Celtics hated the Pistons... Bulls hated the Pistons.. when they do interviews NOW...20+ years later, you can see the disgust when certain names are mentioned
In that instances you wouldnt think about it, but NBA is sort of lazy in the aspect of them routinely waiting for the offense to meet the defense instead of the defense meeting the offense.
College is fairly good about doing that, but not so much in the league. These are bad habits created in the NBA. It why we allow people like James Harden a pass. Curry is simply exposing the lack of IQ on the defensive ends along with his efficient shooting. What he was doing to Kyle last night was rape.
Once they went to overtime I knew okc would lose with or without Durant. Dude literally threw the game away at the end. Whole team did.Whole team had their usual bad bunch of turnovers. Do their usual let you back in a game.As a fan I dont even get mad anymore....lol.Shit least they played good team defense.Just gotta give it up to the warriors, they handled their business. Okc right on the cusp ....lost 4out of 5 games tho... gonna be interesting to see where they go after this game.
Check this out... he's barely past half court and starting to square up... Westbrook is ALREADY closing on him. I can't blame Westbrook for this.. because it's a tied game and curry is fast..so if you pick him up before half court you risk him blowing by you and/or drawing contact.
thanks for adding nothing and taking nothing away to/from what I said
...about what?
There is nothing you can really do at that moment. No timeout was called so Kerr def did the right thing. I would think by now that people would understand curry a little better. But really there is nothing you can do about that. Press up on him. That why we use to practice the z drill. And honestly who didnt see that shot coming? I knew what he was going to do when he was coming up the court, which is why it didn't make sense that no one pressed up on him before hand.
Yeah that shit crazy
I still dress like that tho fuck some skinny jeans and small ass shirts
Fuck the Pistons and Rick mahorn80s was a different monster. Those players still dont like each other. Celtics hated the Pistons... Bulls hated the Pistons.. when they do interviews NOW...20+ years later, you can see the disgust when certain names are mentioned
He still talk shit about scottie
You have to pick the nigga up after he cross half court period
That defense in the NBA is beyond ass
Still players that hate each other in the league. Hell all teams low key hate golden state.draymond green. Everybody know the clippers are a bunch of winey women. James Harden and Dwight ...hate. Y'all can forget about 80s-90s fighting tho... Rumble at the palace fucked all that up. Changed all the rules... Plus the league more finesse players than power players.Get a little physical in the playoffs but these players ain't trying to get suspended. Do miss those days where teams had one two dudes who job was to just go out there and foul the fuck out of players... Kinda miss Kendrick Perkins for okc doing that.
Famo think about it
The last time they lost at home was when Tom Thib put the clamps on curry and let pooh do his thing
Tom Thib knows how to beat that nigga
Honestly if I'm the Spurs and pops retires they should scoop up thibs
I was thinking about this last night.. at what point do you completely shuffle your defense and send him into the lane... the problem is that he's a great finisher though.. but you would rather those (12) 3s be layups. that's an extra 12 points he's squeezing out of his attempts...
Bitter ass old Dude hatin... Wasn't nobody guarding anybody from half court back then either. Unatheletic fools would STILL get roasted by todays players... Oscars needs to fall all the way back with that sour grapes BS...
This everybody in the arena but OKC realized that. Once he had the rebound with 4 seconds left press him. Either he drives past or shoots dead in my face. But you don't let him walk across half court without some resistance.
