Oso planning to go pro
That is funny.To 82's comment, that was one piss poorly coached team. Was it Stevens fault? Irving? Tatum?
Bucks' Twitter account is savage tonight. Some well earned trolling happening tonight
Did KD just tear his achilles?Edit to update: they’re saying calf strain.
I think there are too many A players on that team and not enough complementary ones. That team didn’t need Kyrie.
That was an incredible 5 min on social media. For all the KD memes and hating, for all the Warriors vitriol, there was a collective "oh no, not like this". Achilles tears past 30 are very hard to come back from. He wouldn't have been done, but we could potentially have seen the end of KD's peak. Thank god it wasnt.Reggie Miller should be slapped for his fear mongering. Instead of the prudent "wait and see" approach, dude basically diagnosed the Achilles injury and reiterated it 10 times.Incredible response from the Warriors. They aren't a better team without KD, but they were playing an un-Warriorslike iso offense through him in this series. Freed up Steph to get going. Draymond to be Draymond and ignite the offense.Also, shout out Looney. What a game from him. Amazing what happens when you can learn and grow in an NBA system without being expected to be a star from day 1. Still only 23 and on a one year deal. He keeps this up and the Warriors move on, he's playing himself into a nice summer payday.
I totally agree. Kyrie, Hayward, Tatum all want to be the big dog.
Also agreed on Looney. It's great that he has developed but I also was texting a friend last night saying he's in such a great situation to get paid and I'm not really sure he's very good. Not athletic, not quick, average sized for a big guy, no outside shot. He just has the ability to be efficient because he gets completely left alone by the defense when one of their 4 All Stars (plus Iggy) breaks down the defense. Look at what playing with the Warriors did for JaVale McGee. The guy has always been a laughing stock, he plays with the Warriors and some eyes open to think maybe there's something more than a giant who can jump but is just useless in terms of basketball talent, and then he leaves the Warriors and it turns out he is what he's always been, he just got wide open dunks playing next to 4 All Stars. Looney is more skilled than McGee, but also much less athletic and big.
Of course you don't. You just compared him to a player who can't hold a candle to him and was never even top 5 at his position. Kyrie just averaged 24-5-7 with a 48/40/88 slash, coming off a major injury. His attitude is problematic and crapty and he's had a bad series, but to diminish him as a player and talent as a result of that is dumb.The Cavs don't win that championship without him, period. I already said I don't think he'll ever be "the man" on a championship team, but I also think that about James Harden.Watch Kyrie's highlights. He does things that pretty much nobody else in the league can do from a scoring perspective at his size. And its pretty established among the opinions of his peers that he has the best handle in the NBA.
So I watched Kyrie's highlights from yesterday. He was terrible. Completely overrated player.Has won exactly one playoff series that he participated in without Lebron.
LOL. He's only played in 2.Yes, he had a terrible series. On a team that was broken after game 1 and gave up yesterday. If 1 bad playoff series, in which his entire team played fairly poorly, is what makes a player overrated. Then most of the league is overrated."Watch his career highlights"..."Nah, I watched his highlights from one game and made my complete assessment" You're hilarious. I presented you with myriad facts, you called it a weak argument. And you come back with that subjective crap after watching the highlights of a game.
You way over rate Kyrie. Just a high volume scorer and a black hole on offense. He shuts down any attempt at team play. And offers very little at the other end of the floor. He is a great talent, but is nowhere near a great talent on the floor. I wouldn’t trade Brogdon straight up. Kyrie would destroy the Bucks.
Kerr loves #5. Says, on the court, he's the smartest player on their roster. Golden State holds his Bird rights also. Kevon will get paid.
Your boy got shut down. Cold. But that's not new for him come playoff time. But go on about his slash line. It's amusing.
My boy? Dont make it personal. You're the one giving opinions and making fun of statistics I present. I have no feelings on Kyrie either way. I merely defended a 6x All Star's ability against a comparison as a lesser player.And vanished come playoff time? His playoff numbers were great in Cleveland. He's played 2 whole series without Lebron. He was fine in one with a monster game, complete crap in another. You talk like he's had years of failure without Lebron.Ive never said he was a great team player. Hell, Ive said multiple times he's not a great leader and a poor defender. Kyrie would be a terrible fit for the Bucks, agree 100%. He wasn't a good fit in Boston either, im surprised they went after him. All Ive said is he is a premier scorer and ballhandler. Never even said he was a top 5 guard. Just said he's elite at his 2 best skills. And Fluffy has felt the need to counter that with Kyrie being trash and overrated, an opinion he'll continue to hold as Kyrie likely picks up another 5-6 All Star nods and finishes in the top 25 in all time NBA scorers on his way to the HOF. ShrugI don't think Melo is a good team player and a team with him as a pure focal point was never going to win a title, but to diminish his scoring abilities and skills at his peak was just dumb. Thats how I feel about Kyrie.
Also, OT, but saw this on ESPN today. I'm unclear what impressive stats they're referring to, but ok. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26695886/harry-froling-now-confident-nba-capabilities
The only noise the Rockets ever make is their constant complaining/excuses. Last year the CP3 injury was why they lost. Last year the refs are why they lost.Fast forward a year and the Warriors lose a far superior player to injury in the role reversal. But champions step up instead of make excuses.Can’t wait for the 2019 version of the Rockets’ internal audit on the reffing this series!

Yep. The Rockets are a big disappointment. Again.While the KD injury should have given the Rockets a huge advantage, there were some people acting as if the Warriors were a talent-poor team just hoping to survive. Without KD, they went to 2 finals and won one.
Hoping for a Denver/Milwaukee final but the NBA will never let that happen.
Oh please. The NBA is rigged crowd is so tiresome.
