2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[ballinsam23]

KD is pretty much in the same situation as Olympic Melo. There is no stopping that type of greatness on the offensive side of the ball when you're surrounded by the perfect team.

 

[junglejim]

At this point, if you are a star player would you even want to play with Lebron?  I wouldn't and that isnt a knock on Lebron.  Basically everytime lebron loses in the finals all of his teammates get thrown under the bus and everytime he wins he gets all the praise.  **** that, there is zero chance you are getting me to take a paycut to play with lebron.

NBA product so trash

Idk if you're serious but this is the only sport in the world where the better team will win the majority of a 7 game series.

No one game elimination, no 2 game aggregate total points. Better team will win 4/7. Idk why people get mad or take jabs at the NBA for not having enough parity. Winning an NBA championship is harder than the Superbowl IMO.

 

[Clyde Frog]

Lets recap

- People are suddenly shocked KD is better on the Warriors
- KD > LeBron
- Game 3 was soley LeBrons fault
- 32/12/10 are pedestrian numbers stats
- LeBron should have taken KD/Dray double teamed contested shot over wide open Kyle Korver

Am I missing anything

 

[P C H]

CP3? Tony Allen?

What?

You for real?

None of this is true or accurate.

 

[reputory]

TA and kiwi gave Durant problems before

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Who doesn't get roasted when guarding KD?

curry got roasted last year cause he couldn't guard LeBron and kyrie last year. Curry was also banged up but no one cut him any slack...

True though no one can guard Kd.

This isn't true, when lebron looses he gets murdered and gets way more blame than is teammates.

Lets recap

- People are suddenly shocked KD is better on the Warriors
- KD > LeBron
- Game 3 was soley LeBrons fault
- 32/12/10 are pedestrian numbers
- LeBrons has always and is still putting up empty numbers
- LeBron should have taken KD/Dray double teamed contested shot over wide open Kyle Korver

Am I missing anything

You missed the fact that LeXcuses has only scored 11 points in the 4th quarter all series and he's getting absolutely manhandled defensively.

But this list seems to be leaning a certain way so I'll let you cook.

How does this make the product good?

Warriors needed Durant to beat the Cavs this year

 

[MVP]

What?

You for real?

None of this is true or accurate.

He's struggled with TA. Like he may eventually get numbers but the great efficiency he's known for isn't there.

 

[noblekane]

thing about lebron is hes probably gassed as shown by the 4th quarter graphic above.

and like many have said there was no reason for him to play all those regular season minutes when the cavs get to the finals even as an 8 th seed in a garbage east

lebron chased stats and it turned around and bit him in the butt

and yall be hating way too much on both sides

 

[junglejim]

This isn't true, when lebron looses he gets murdered and gets way more blame than is teammates.

LOL ********.  Everytime he loses its "look at his stats, he needs more help".  "His teammates are trash because XYZ".

 

[P C H]

Warriors needed Durant to beat the Cavs this year

Now I call ******** on this bro lol

I 100% believe if this was Harrison barnes instead of KD the same result would have occurred.

 

[moe200069]

The thing about Durant is he makes it looks so easy. Sometimes he looks likes hes not even trying. Like yesterday I couldn't even tell he had 30 points.. I hear he had 30 at the end of the game and I'm like Damn, it didn't even seem like that.

it's because NT will want you to believe that a dude who isn't brushing his hair for the entire playoffs can't play in such a fashion

to be honest, besides steph, it seems like most of the warriors will have the most boringly, quiet yet dominant stat lines. KD and klaydagawd with the most silent 31 and 30 pieces i've seen.

 

[king j]

You're the one who said you can't say that about kd because okc blew 3-1 lead and that's where it started.

nope it started with you using trash logic about Lebron not being clutch then i gave you examples of KD not being clutch and you made excuses...You were basically downgrading a player to uplift another....

says better team will win most 7 game series, confused why people say nba does not have enough parity.

 

[addict4sneakers]

TA and kiwi gave Durant problems before

KD averaged 29 on him and shot 50% in the playoffs. That's his little mans

 

[airuphere23]

LeBron is worn out. Practically plays all game long chasing shooters who shoot the ball like a "He's on Fire!" NBA Jam player.

this the same barnes from the last finals?

eh...

all of that is irrelevant

have these playoffs entertained you? legitimately? outside of warrior fans and lebron haters, who has enjoyed these playoffs?


i'm not an NBA super fan by any stretch. but typically i enjoy the playoffs. in the past at least. this ******** is awful


and not sure how you can say winning an nba champ is harder than winning superbowl. i'm not saying that's definitely wrong, but like, based on what?

 

[Proposition Joe]

Are those the only comments you see, you're conveniently ignoring the other side of it.

Tbh that's a fair point to talk about if this thread didnt prefer talking about such a heavy dose of nonsense.

But anyway, if by leaning a certain way you mean hot takes then you are right

 

[P C H]

eh...

Harrison Barnes is a 20ppg scorer. He had a bad series, but it happens. I sincerely doubt he would be 5 for 100 or whatever it was again. Even with Harrison going MIA, they still were a shot away from repeating.

Give me a healthy steph, along with Harrison Barnes and they probably still win.
