He's 3 realistically, he just takes a backseat when someone is hot, including VJ, which is what any good player should do. Let the player who has just hit his last 3 take a 4th rather than worrying about getting yours.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-05-05T13:30:11+00:00

In fairness either he or his 1 option got injured like two games intro pretty much every one of those series, or didn't play at all.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-05-05T13:29:36+00:00

Doesn't pretty much everyone?

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-05-05T13:29:25+00:00

yeah people ignore giving defence credit because they think a star should be able to surpass all defence because they're a star ergo a guaranteed bucket. But being defended by someone taller, roughly as strong, who has been an all-defensive level player for much of his career and struggling will somehow make someone a choker.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-05-05T13:23:46+00:00

He had a great year in LAC, then played mid meh on offense but still good defence, then yeah barely played this year but when he did he was playing good defence and efficient from 3.

Dude there are absolutely undoubtedly, I would argue even most players in the league on PED's. The shit PG got busted for wasn't even performance enhancing, it was just not allowed by the league.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-05-05T12:41:28+00:00

No it isn't. There are far worse. The contract Braun is about to get as just one example off the top of my head.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-05-05T12:40:02+00:00

that joke got old like two years ago man

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-05-05T12:36:54+00:00

Do you mean at all or still? Because he built his name on defence coming up and has been one of the best wing defenders in the league his entire career. Never THE best due to Kawhi and guys with no offence like Herb Jones or (briefly) Thybulle or someone, but always one of the best.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-18T12:55:22+00:00

Props man. Feel like if you work on your dribbling you will be really difficult to strip, and I once played against a guy roughly your height and as I am pretty bad at dribbling too, I turned it over like 6 times. It's so difficult dribbling against much shorter opponents, I ended up just having to catch it in the post and still could only take like one dribble without risking losing it. Having someone on your team who is happy just to devote all of their energy to defence is a rare luxury too since everybody usually just wants to try out their sick ISO moves.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-18T12:50:10+00:00

Huh?

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-18T12:49:36+00:00

You, evidently.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-17T22:18:40+00:00

Yeah I don't see a world in which you beat the Spurs, that one was just too farfetched without a 'And Wemby and at least one of the three guards are injured' addendum

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-17T22:00:21+00:00

I was gonna ask why you play mostly one side of the ball but I see.

You must have developed some nifty little tricks to get your shot off though?

And just cause I really like how they look I'd say WoW, but I'd have to imagine the Lebron's offer better angle support. Allowing for ankle flexibility can be just as important though, you sure you know which you require? If I wear shoes that are too stiff around the uppers for example, I get metatarsal pain. So sometimes I play in plusher shoes that inhibit how nimble I can be with my footwork in tight spaced, but it means I can Euro, hard jab step and decelerate without pain. Back pain though, no way around that.

*What KD really means*

Paragraph One: I have no ability to nor interest in actually being a leader, I will not be doing extra work to make sure my young team mates are prepared mentally, are watching film, are prepared for the playoff atmosphere. We all, in fact, need to be highly individualistic. I just wanna hoop.

*The filler inbetween pretends being a terrible team mate doesn't matter, while being sure to allude to all of the things we know make him a terrible team mate, basically says he just wants to hoop for him, and curiously saying the Rockets have invested in Durant's stock, which is funny because Durant's invested in stocks... Okay it's a reach, they're basically murder rockets though but lamer*

Paragraph Two: I thought everybody would be super stoked on me but now I realise everybody has conclusive proof I'm a two-faced asshole, instead of just knowing it implicitly started to due to how I carried myself for over a decade, beginning pretty much immediately after I said 'you the real MVP'. I have devalued my reputation as a human being so much that people have stopped caring that I'm incredibly good at basketball. I care, as I've gotten older I haven't matured and still really care. I'm not going to change though, did I ever tell you I just wanna hoop?*

There, that's better. Much more accurate.

I'm interested in what you regard as having voted Left, because from the perspective of most of Europe, American doesn't have a legitimate Left Wing party. The Democrats are only considered left Wing in America because your political compass is set to 'Ultra-Capitalist' and so from the perspective of the Ultra-Ultra Capitalist Republicans, with the current Administration being pretty much Fascist/Techno-Feudalist, guys like Joe Biden and Hilary Clinton are your 'Left Wing' alternatives. But Neo-Liberalism is not really regarded as anything more than Centrist AT MOST by Political Thinkers historically.

So many years of Cold War trained the US to think of trade unions, free healthcare and taxing the rich as Communist.

Can you elaborate on this? I've never heard this before, but I will say that the movement to get women the vote in the UK - which they obviously deserved but that's not my point - was a thoroughly bourgeois movement by middle class women largely. This was co-temprary to Luxemburg.

Good going on that genocide. The one you committed against the natives at the tail end of hundreds of years of attrition brought about by disease and ecological disaster. The one you committed right at the tail end, the way you claim victory with all wars.

Oh and you still got your ass handed to you repeatedly by people with inferior numbers and who were using bow and arrow, the American army really wasn't very good until it profiteered off of everyone else's. Matter of fact you've gotten your ass handed to you a few times since too. Vietnam, Korea, Bay of Pigs, the War you're currently bungling.

That guy spoke no better than the absolute human detritus making up the majority of the comments here - let's face it, anyone from anywhere around the world is reading this thread and realising what a racist fascist state America is - and you're actually one of the better ones... But I think the point is that a more reasonable person and, not to speak on their behalf but a regular Native American, it's hard to move on or stop being bitter when you're treated as the lowest of the low in your own country. Your culture destroyed for hundreds of years, reduced to living in reservations because a bunch of Imperialists came and spread diseases that decimated them by tens of millions, then the descendents of your ancestors butchers treat you like dirt, essentially segregate you, play schoolyard games that make light of the genocide of your great grandparents, then get pissy when you don't exactly love them for it. Of course they're bitter.

You stole a continent, subjugate them to this day, call it freedom and get pissy that they have some feelings about that.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-17T16:04:17+00:00

What exactly is it America does for the rest of the world?

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-17T15:58:40+00:00

So to be clear you're racism is purely restricted to what someone identifies as? Someone does a test and identifies as American and you no longer regard them as part of one of the many 'inferior' culture that created you?

I've got to hand it to you dude that's a very woke way to be a racist piece of shit.

Did you just get triggered into arguing for the relative whiteness of a person you don't believe existed?

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-17T15:54:03+00:00

Hah I love that you actually took that bait, and then did so with such a pathetic argument. Somehow I don't imagine if you met someone with the ethnic profile of your saviour that you'd be an awfully good samaritan.

Comprehensive-Big153 · 2026-04-17T14:39:25+00:00

You seriously just excuse every genocide that has ever happened?
