NBA Arguments Tangent Thread

Right, I know, but the other "stars" were, right?  I mean, that cavs team might be the worst team to ever win a title.  I think that is fair to say, right?  I mean, if Curry is going to school MJ, clearly he would also school all the guards on Cleveland.  

And the playoff points of curry vs MJ?  Hmmm Hmmmm?

I mean, Durant is the second best player of his generation (behind LeBron), so his inclusion is kind of important. 

And you're twisting my words, I never said Curry would "school Jordan", or that he was better. I said he could outscore him on a given night, which is just true. Curry is capable of putting up 50 any night. So, on a given night? Absolutely.

Curry could go for 50 on MJ?  Wow (Kidding, I know you didn't say that, this is just fun!)

How come that amazing GS team, with 4 of the best players ever, could not beat the raptors?  

Here is the roster and it might be the second worst team to ever win a title

Klay "tough guy" Thompson skipped a game and Durant skipped 5.  Yikes.

Skipped is an interesting choice of words. They were hurt. That's clearly why the Raptors won. With the Warriors at full strength, the Raptors wouldn't have won.

And yeah, Curry could score 50 on Jordan, on a given night. Curry has one of the quicker releases in basketball. He's, almost literally, ways open.

Hurt?  Soooooo, soft?

Also, I was told how amazing the GS depth was...so they were missing one star for the series and yet, fell apart to a really lame a$$ Raps team.

Also, KD needs to get GOING.  They have a 6'4 guy on him!  I need my 36 points!!!!

I knew I should have taken over 2.5 threes instead!

Now I have to ask...if Steph is "no slouch on D' and Klay is one of the best two way players in the game...why could they not shut down KL?

Well, Kevin Love is a pretty damn good player, and I doubt either one of them were guarding him when you have LeBron and Kyrie on the court.

Kevin Love averaged 18 a game, not exactly a stud.   I was referring to Kawhi, with the raps.  

]...sooooooo...why wasn't Klay, this amazing defensive player, shutting him down?

Also...KD is trying to cost me some cash right now!!!

If you don't think Kevin Love was a stud, you haven't been paying attention that last decade plus of professional basketball.

 
teachercd said:
His stats show what he was.

But, why did Klay, a two way player and defensive stud, the same size as KL (not the cavs) not shut him down>?

Klay guarded LeBron. You usually can only guard one guy at a time.

Nevermind, you meant Kawhi. Well, he's a really good player too. Surely, you don't think Jordan never let a guy go off? I bet there were dozens of times guys scored 40 or 50 points on his teams.

Bro...I am talking about the tank job vs the raps!

Why could your dog Klay, who has been called one of the best two way players, not shut down KL? (Not Kevin Love, different team).

Yeah, I edited the post.... And yeah, Jordan had people score 40+ on him dozens of times in his career. Imagine that.

And it wasn't a tank job. The best player in the series played 12 minutes on the series because of injury. Come on. Have an honest conversation about it.
