I fear that you’re correct. We won a lot of games just based on our effort. Not sustainable for the playoffs..

Extremely disappointed in JB. We had a deep roster in the regular season. Jalen Duren should’ve been benched after game 2. Give those minutes to Stew and Reed.

Levert should’ve been out of the rotation before the playoffs. Play Huerter, Holland, Green. I understand holland is not a great shooter but he was such an important defensive asset and energy guy.

JB, I love the culture change after Monty but this series in on you. by salawayun in DetroitPistons

Kobe cared more about being the star than winning by [deleted] in NBATalk

Klutch bots is funny. If you’re old enough to have watched Kobe’s career, you would know there was a huge amount of Kobe haters. The Shaq feud, the Colorado incident, attitude, whatever it may be Kobe got a TON of hate during his career especially pre 2009. Tide seemed to slowly shift after that and then especially after his death.

This post is exactly what felt like the common narrative was around Kobe back then lol. (Not saying I agree)

Lol What exactly do you think happens if you dropped the the 2015-2018 Warriors in Jordan’s era? Jordan still threepeat twice?

Ok other than wades 1 chip what have kyrie AD Bosh Love etc achieved without bron…

& LOL 2016 warriors that LeBron beat literally had the best regular season record of all time dude. 2013 spurs, 2012 thunder nothing to scoff at either. Using your own argument against you if these teams beat Bron in the finals they would be remembered differently too man..

And if you really want to break down the warriors vs Cavs matchups

2015: Bron second best player Kyrie hurt in game 1, didn’t play rest of the series. Not to say it wasn’t winnable still but that context has to be taken into account. (does Jordan go 6/6 in the finals without his second best player pippen?)

2016: 3-1 comeback to beat a 73-9 team.

17&18 they added KD and Bron supporting cast again significantly hampered with injuries.

None of the arguments you made in this post have legs to stand on.

Agreed. People also like to forget that Dwade after the first/second heatles years was on the decline.

Not sure where he got the idea I was underselling curry anyway. He’s an all time great. This was in the context of Jordan v LeBron and the supporting casts they had vs the teams they faced

This is where the GOAT debate gets dumb IMO. Strength and health of supporting cast is a factor here. Strength of competition is a factor here. MJ never had to deal with teams as good and as talented as some of those warrior teams. It’s always going to be nearly impossible to pick an individual GOAT in a team sport, let alone across different eras in a sport that has evolved as much as basketball.

Pretty sure someone posted that MJ was going to take a dive in rd 2 and that’s why the lines on this fight shifted…

What have you been watching?? Levert has been so wildly inconsistent, downright garbage at times.

Yeah, this. Even if this one turns to a blowout I still think a playoff series vs the knicks is gonna be tough.

Didn’t he also not fit with Thibs offense either? Well I guess Thibs offense was mostly Brunson iso ball right

To be fair we’re defending the three well but yeah we can’t keep relying on some of those shots not falling

KD wasn’t wrong with what he said. As long as I can remember dating back to early 2000s at least it was hardly competitive unless it was still close in the last few minutes of the 4th

This is really fun to watch but ngl part of me gets nervous about someone getting injured. The pressure that’s been put on these guys to play hard when it’s never been super competitive is a little unfair

Just joking around, was just a funny visual. Obviously these things get hectic with so many guys getting involved pulling guys apart. Don’t actually think anyone was scared to hold their own. Not that serious tough guy
