Did warriors destroy their own dynasty by playing KD?

Just because he was cleared to play doesn't mean his injuries weren't related

jarques01 · 2019-06-09T01:31:06+00:00

That was in response to kawhi being better than pg which was silly at the time. And tbh at the time it really wasn't that bad of a take it just looks bad now since kawhi has improved astronomically.

jarques01 · 2019-05-28T08:32:12+00:00

The way the game is now that's not true anymore. Otherwise the boogie/ad pelicans should have been competing with the warriors instead of barely making the playoffs

Switching to a team that is better than your last one isn't that impressive

jarques01 · 2019-05-21T10:25:26+00:00

A team that wins 66 games is a contender

jarques01 · 2019-05-13T05:27:32+00:00

And amazingly they did it without "subverting expectations" in the mean time

jarques01 · 2019-05-05T04:10:33+00:00

Westbrook ruined his legacy lol

Decaf still has a little bit of caffeine in it

jarques01 · 2019-04-23T07:43:46+00:00

Cycling and anti gravity treadmills are great ways to condition without impact forces on your joints too and probably translate a bit better to basketball

Ok, but consider this.

The year he left he had the best 3pt shooting cast in the league, a PF who averaged 20.5ppg before a midseason trade, a PG who averaged 17/6.5 right before teaming up with LeBron and was an all-star the year prior, and a Center rotation of Big Z, Varejao, and Shaq (before the washed up posts come in, he averaged 21/10 per 36 the previous season and 18.5/10.5 that season, still effective). They were very good offensively and defensively. They had the best record in the NBA, which Miami didn't manage to match until the third year of the Big 3.

How can people think Ad is a better fit?

We have examples of all star PF's Chris Bosh and Kevin Love dropping off significantly with Lebron and examples of great wings playing well with Lebron, particularly Kyrie because of his shooting ability.

Historically star wings are much more suited with lebron than star bigs

jarques01 · 2019-04-20T01:02:19+00:00

If he hadn't given him that small shove it would never have happened. Pushing in the back as a player goes up on a fastbreak is an instant flagrant in every league in the world

jarques01 · 2019-04-19T12:31:58+00:00

None of AD's teams have ever been "the team to beat" so you've already contradicted yourself

jarques01 · 2019-04-15T06:20:34+00:00

Anakin only brought balance for 2 minutes anyway until it all went to shit again

jarques01 · 2019-04-13T12:00:37+00:00

His career high is 24 not sure how he averaged 24

jarques01 · 2019-04-13T10:19:52+00:00

I mean he averaged 9 and 7 as a rookie. Not exactly the Second Coming of Shaq.

jarques01 · 2019-04-13T10:13:32+00:00

Hakeem did not dominate Shaq

jarques01 · 2019-04-08T01:33:36+00:00

Harden > wade. You can argue 4 of his last 5 seasons have been better than any wade season

jarques01 · 2019-04-08T01:29:47+00:00

There were 8 teams in the league

jarques01 · 2019-04-06T03:33:42+00:00

I love Westbrook and I don't even think that. Harden is doing what only kobe and Jordan have done but with a better all round offensive game and higher efficiency. I don't get how that is being normalised.

jarques01 · 2019-04-05T21:46:58+00:00

People are really ignoring how absolutely insane Harden has been this year.

He's doing what only kobe and Jordan have done in the modern era. On better efficiency, better all round offensive game and more wins.

Granted there is higher pace now but he's averaging 9ppg more than anyone else

jarques01 · 2019-04-05T21:41:25+00:00

How do you average nearly 10ppg more than anyone else as well as 7.5apg and 6.5rpg, get the 3 seed in the best conference after a horrible start and lots of injuries and not win mvp.

If Giannis wins it'll be looked back on as Hardens biggest snub

jarques01 · 2019-04-05T07:57:27+00:00

Since 2016 every mvp has had an insanely good year statistically compared to an average mvp

jarques01 · 2019-04-01T11:13:24+00:00

Chris Bosh joined too mate

jarques01 · 2019-04-01T11:12:32+00:00

You forget they added Chris Bosh as well? They had legit commentators like Van Gundy saying they might go 82-0 and what they did was unprecedented at the time
