0fficial 2017-2018 NBA Postseason Thread....NBA Finals Cavs vs Warriors 0-4(dubs back 2 back champs)

I'm referencing the tweet. That's what I'm talking about. Y'all want to play kid games. Have at it.

He's a superstar? Ha. Steve Nash was a superstar. But neither of them are in people's top ten, historically. He's not no Lebron.

The only reason I responded to that tweet is because it is ridiculous and vague.

And actually, and factually, not true. Lebron had the favored team. And a "bad game." And it still gets mentioned.



To this specific tweet. How is it ridiculous and vague? Lebron still gets dragged for the series against the Mavs. That's the example right there. He's pulling from a previous example.

Curry has had several underwhelming performances in the finals and he gets a pass. If Lebron had come out and had 2 points entering the 4th, the articles would have been ready to publish as soon as the game ended. If Durant would have done it, they would have written about him not doing what he was brought on the team to do. When Wade didn't perform against the Spurs, he got killed for being washed. Players get routinely killed for coming up short in the big moments.

You can't use Nash as your reference because he never played in the Finals. The reference is for the NBA Finals. You can't be that obtuse???

If any other superstar had performed like that, it would have been a major topic of discussion. Even if they lost, it wouldn't have been a topic because we already have examples of his underperforming in the Finals (also with them losing) and it never became a major topic of discussion.

Kobe still gets killed for shooting the Lakers out of it against the Pistons. Malone gets killed for coming up short. Ewing still gets killed for coming up short in 94. Shit, even the role players from that team get killed (which blows up your "he's not on Lebron's level" bullshit). People still bring up Stark's 2-18 performance.

Even outside of the finals, people still bring up role players not performing. Charles Smith, Nick Anderson.

Dawg.. Magic Johnson was called Tragic Johnson and that was after he had already won a title as a fucking rookie.

Da fuck are you talking about?

The whole point is that Curry consistently gets a pass....and you're just another one giving it to him with that "how can you choke as a pure shooter....you're just missing shots!!" bullshit. The capes fly hard for this nigga Curry.
 
This has nothing to do with Lebron so I don't know why you keep referencing him.

He's a superstar playing who has a history or not showing up in the Finals and it gets overlooked because of the squad he plays on. That's why this team is trash. They have stars that can disappear in big games and they can still win rather easily. When they lost before Durant got there? Did he choke "as a shooter"? Was throwing passes out of bounds and shit at the end of the game choking as a shooter? Stop trying this bullshit "qualification" of his choking. He's a "pure shooter" so it doesn't really count. Nigga I can't believe you're even doing this shit.

A choke job is a fucking choke job. Starks can carry it but Curry can't? Niggas are still burning Starks over a bad playoff game.. years later but Curry can't even catch heat for 24 hours...smh

I don't care about that specific tweet but that tweet is less about Lebron and more about hypocrisy. There is this undeniable silence about Curry underperforming. If the Warriors had lost, the "he was injured" bullshit would have started too.

He doesn't have that history tho
He had a trash game last night
He had a trash game 2 in the 1st one and a less than stellar game 3
When healthy he shows up in the finals period there's no debate on it honestly
He should have won the 1st finals mvp he was the only person to average 20 points on the team coming in at 26 a night Klay Thompson didn't show up Iggy was the 2nd leading scorer with 16 points a game average for the series and the narrative that he doesn't show up and everyone else saves him is born and absolutely bullshit lol

It's not a problem calling him out on a bad game a horrible night. Do it. I do it. He was trash with the shot last night

It's the overall indictment that's bullshit
 
just last year you said he was an equal finisher with Kyrie..who is probably the best finisher at the rim in the NBA for little man. Now his shot was just off. He's too stupid or incapable of getting better shots now? Harden just got blazed for doing the exact same shit.


A shot being off means just that see what I mean?
He was getting good shots and missing them you can characterize it any way you like
Harden don't get blazed for missing his shot only he get blazed cause when he misses his shot he's completely passive in every aspect of the game.
If he misses his shot he ain't got no energy doing none of the other things
Curry missed layups and jumpers he usually makes the bar is he can never have an off night or it's an indictment on him overall?

Cause if we saying he had a horrible night last night we agree completely and yet he wasn't mentally checked out the shit didn't fall and it's fine to point that out cause I did too
 
To this specific tweet. How is it ridiculous and vague?

Lebron still gets dragged for the series against the Mavs. That's the example right there. He's pulling from a previous example.

He's not.

It's ridiculous and vague because "Lebron still gets dragged" for that game. Like you say. And Steph isn't on Lebron's level as far as carrying a team.

You want to interpret the tweet one way, when it's the other way.

You can't reverse my argument against me. I'm not going to argue against my point, you detailed.

You want to interpret the tweet like that? Go ahead. I see right through it though. He's probably not winning the finals MVP again, because of this very game. That's going to stick on his legacy.

Never have an off night? Lmbao. Next year, yall will be saying he was hurt during game 3... like all the other times people bring up his bad playoffs performances.

This is consistent but every bad game is treated as an anomaly.

The problem is that he both gets passes for playing like ass in big moments and the team is so ridiculously constructed that a two-time MVP and the league's only unanimous MVP can play like ass on the road in the NBA finals and his team still have very little chance of losing. Thus, it's the double pass. he gets rewarded for playing like ass. He doesn't even need to improve because there is no penalty for it. No other superstar has had that type of luxury in the finals..none.. I've been watching ball for decades and you can not name one superstar who has had that luxury.
 
He's not.

Your response doesn't even make sense, champ. You're saying something is vague when it's absolutely clear. The tweet really isn't open to interpretation.

I gave you 10 different examples and you still have your fingers in your ears yelling #fakenews and #MAGA.
 
I don't see how anyone who isn't a Warriors' fan could like this bullshit. Without Durant, the Warriors team would have at least been forced to improve (without just adding someone). Curry would have been forced to become a better facilitator... a better defender... Green would have needed to add some offense...Curry would have needed to step up at the end of games on the road, etc.. maybe Klay would have had to take on a bigger offensive load...none of them niggas had to get any better because they added Durant. They can all keep their flaws and EASILY win titles. These niggas have won 7- out of their last 8 Finals games all because they added Durant.

Like I said, this would have been like the Lakers or Celtics in 86 adding Jordan. It's supreme hoe shit and bad for the game. None of them niggas need to even worry about getting any better. They would have been forced to play their best or lose...which is what the NBA finals is all about. Them niggas really didn't even play well.. that's the crazy part.. but when you have a team full of legit all stars..you can get by on half ass play because on talent ALONE, you can run through the league.

You got it man. Getting out the way. I digress.

Yeah it's hoe shit. So many good players in this league....but not many great teams.

big mad
 
Exactly. Golden State drafted these cats and grabbed washed up cats like Livingston and Dr. Strange and are getting production out of them.

Bron made the ownership pay Tristan Kardashian, JR that money. He built that squad, got one chip and its over.

Right. Warriors only considered a "Superteam" because of KD. The GM built that team and 3 of their stars didn't "join up".
 
Stop it.
He had 2 good games he was consistently good the 1st 2 games and was the catalyst in those wins
Last night his shot was off he missed I'm not here to argue against it he did do other things shooting he was trash there's no wiggle room nor would I want there to be wiggle room on that

And people are absolutely talking about it.
They are saying like you and the ppl who look at him thru the goggles that you and your I'll look thru that he is not that good etc all the usual talking points
I'm seeing it everywhere including in here
His shot was off!?? :lol:

He went 1 for fucking 14!!! Thats HISTORICALLY putrid.

Two good games doesnt negate that man. Not for a guy you put on the same tier as LeBron. Not for a guy who is celebrated as the second coming when he performs well and who is hurt when he does not. Sorry.

And again, no one is talking about it. Your nonsense of its being talked about everywhere is factually wrong. And the only cats hammering it home here are @Spectrum and myself...

Where was this hate when Lebron went to Miami? Both situations some fuckshit.
Is this guy serious?:lol:
 
A choke job is a fucking choke job. Starks can carry it but Curry can't? Niggas are still burning Starks over a bad playoff game.. years later but Curry can't even catch heat for 24 hours...smh
This is crazy man. Seriously.

He keeps using words and terms he doesnt really understand. Vague, moving the goal post, and no context, continue to be butchered by that guy.

It's simply NOT TRUE
ain't no yall be saying nothing
Curry was only hurt 1 time. He was hurt the 2nd playoff run. Not the 1st or the 3rd and not since he's been back in this one.
In the 2nd playoff run the nigga literally sprained his MCL and came back 2 weeks later and people want to pretend like he was 100% after spraining his fucking MCL DURING THE PLAYOFFS
that's the fuck shit. that's the problem.
every other time he has not been hurt and even when he was clearly hurt and hobbled unable to move past kevin fucking love to get a shot off HE didn't make ANY EXCUSE
yall hang on to the "he hurt" narrative when he never says the shit you listen to everyone else talk about him and not him. he's made no excuses even when he was fucking hurt and again he was ONLY HURT 1 PLAYOFF RUN and that was when he sprained his MCL DURING THE PLAYOFFS and came back and was clearly NOT 100% which under normal circumstances wouldn't even be up for debate. you wouldn't even questions whether a cat who sprained his mcl and came back early would still be suffering from the injury and wouldn't be 100% after not properly healing on it you wouldn't
but with him....
 
Nuggets got new jerseys. I know y'all peeped. Go head and get them and hop on the bandwagon. Nuggets will end this "Warriors shit for y'all next year.
 
At first I was like damn man this shit is ridiculous but now I embrace it. I love it. Niggas act like old white lady's now talking about something needs to be done about this im going to write a letter to the commish and shit let's devise a way oh i got it ill boycott the nba cause i don't want to watch this

Oh yeah embrace it what are you supposed to do apologize because Kevin Durant wanted to come to your team and what were they supposed to say no? Lol
