It's pretty easy to tell who's a LeBron stan on this board. The thread starter is perhaps the biggest one of them all.
Wrong!:ufdup:

TS is a known Trailblazer Stan :troll:

Sorry..... no lies were told. :skip:

Better luck next time Slime:umad:

Was Pau Gasol a top-10 defender last season or what? Or should I take your gif usage and no text as evidence for you backtracking from using DRTG to shyt on Kyrie's defense as a fault?

:usure:
yeah okay

let me take all the advanced stats that say cody zeller is a top 10 center in the league, throw out a false equivalency, then hedge my bets on how hard people want to argue with me

can't wait to call out the casuals this year :mjgrin: your fall off is faster than stephen jackson's

He was moving the ball fine against the Cavs, even to the point where folk were questioning why is he letting Smart and others handle the ball. Then he has one game where he plays more aggressive and now all of a sudden he can't play in a "ball movement offense"? So I guess if he has another game like he did against the Cavs, does that mean he can play in a motion-based offense?

Hot takes sure are the trend during the NBA season.

I havent mentioned one word about whether he can fit in a "motion based offence"

I simply stated that Stevens has to tailor his system to maximise Kyrie....I didnt say he had to throw it down the drain

you just want to argue.......

This doesn't even make any sense.

You were using DRTG without the proper context against Kyrie. You probably could get away with it against a poster who's none the wiser, but you should know better waving that shyt in front of me. Kyrie's DRTG was bad because he played in lineups which were horrible defensively - the Cavs were one of the worst defensive teams in the league. All of the Cavs starters had similar DRTGs because of it.

I wasn't trying to argue with you, I was putting forth a reasonable post to someone that was trying to do the same. I was trying to get you to see how silly the posts were in here.
but all of this is moot cause Bron was holding him back.....
Now you're being silly.

i. He's not a shyt defender. He's league-average for his position, and is above average in the playoffs.

ii. My contention with Westbrook wasn't really about his defense, it was about folk overvaluing his triple doubles, and really triple doubles in general
iii. Kyrie doesn't sacrifice defensive assignment to look for rebounds, bringing up my arguments that involve Westbrook's defense aren't relevant to this discussion. If Kyrie starts doing that, I will start calling him out on that too.

I was one of, if not Kyrie's first fan on this board. Newfound love? You obviously haven't been paying attention. Use the search function and see how far back I've been posting about him. You can't even bring up a proper example of me being a hypocrite, you're taking what I said in the past about other players' defense and applying in the wrong manner here.

Give me an example of me being a hypocrite in regards to Kyrie's defense.

getting to the finals is no humiliating feat. A lot of teams would love to be there...:francis:
Still doesn't take anything away from what I said. This time last season LeBron stans had all their focus on shytting on the Warriors, now they've found something to distract them from coming to grips with reality.
