"Thompson played 32 minutes going 0-10 with 0 points while Moody played 15 minutes and had 16 points shows that Kerr simply cared more about Thompson's ego than winning"

Nice job for team usa with this dei hire for the Olympics..
Lmao!
 
Dirk winning with no all stars is revisionism. The 11 Mavs were stacked with older all stars. The reason they were underdogs is they had lost in the first round 4 years in a row at the time I think. They were good on paper but at that point people didn't trust the paper. In short they were the Clippers. They were a superteam you just assumed was going to implode cause thats what they did.
Not to mention this shit canchise had terry, hof coach, hof kidd.that stupid narrative that dallas was a underdog story is bullshit. Dirt is still shit though..

wow, that was 38 year old Kidd who averaged 6/5/2 that season and in the playoffs was getting about 10 minutes a game. Terry, who played extremely well in the playoffs was a 34 year old player who averaged 15ppg that season, about like Tim Hardaway Jr. , without the stupidity.
 
PeliCANS been playing like bitches though. They don’t have confidence. Ingram has regressed - gotta smoke less.
 


Playing in the 60s would not have went well for Jordan. The 90s were soft.
 
Miles Bridges is still in the league though.



In this case that really doesn't apply.

The basis of the hypocrisy argument is when players aren't betting on their own games they should be allowed to gamble. Porter did the nightmare hypothetical.
 
Weird thing about Zion is it didn't look like anything at all happened. Zion score with 3 minutes left in the game, no fall, no twisted ankle, he didn't look to grab his hamstring, or knee, he ties it with 3:30 to go then goes to the locker room and the Pelicans lose.

He's just a fatass. That's what happened.
 
A 73 win team had to bring in the 2nd best player after they choked away a finals 3-1 in order to beat Lebron. Both Durant and Corey knew on the a level playing field that they could never compete against him.

Well Curry curry was 3-1 on him and the series was a hard fought 7 games. So clearly he could compete with him..

On paper the Cavs should have been favourites anyway, with the 2nd best player ever, plus two all stars.

The warriors have been an incredible dynasty.
 
6th man Ray Allen in his prime starting 9 games in his last 2 years

Wade, a slashing guard who's career got shortened due to the play style, and Chris Bosh who's mid range game was negated by the fact he was utilized as a center when spacing wasn't even the same as it is now. Was Bosh a good mid range shooter? Sure, for a center.

You're right, poor Lebron couldn't catch a break. He's elevated terrible, just terrible teams to go 4-6 in the finals. If only he'd had some help.
 
Batum and Harris both throwing up bricks down the stretch.
