Harden out, Kyrie out, It's up to Kevin Durant now.. UPDATE: He failed

[Raquinotj]

Kyrie is on a walking booth and Crutches. No way he makes it back and Harden is not even practicing yet.

SO EVEN IF KD WINS
YOU LAME ASS nikkaS
GONNA TURN THIS SUPPORTING CAST
INTO ALL STARS.

IM DONE



​

No, if he wins, I'll give him credit

 

[KidJSoul]

None of those players are a top @5-20 player in the league who can go supernova as if he was a top 5 player, but I do need to see KD deliver on the same standards other have been held to.

But it's not irrelevant at all.

Klay isn't game 6 mode every night tho. He has a lot of regular games where he scores in the high teens and low 20s like any other side kick. Hes obviously a very good player, but people overrate Klay sometimes imo just to knock Steph.

Based on the Warrior's success or lack thereof without him, I cannot say Klay is ever overrated outside of cats saying he's a #1 on a true contender.

CTE brehs you hate to see it

 

[Guile]

TBH haven't watched the playoffs since Bron went out. Will be watching to see if KD doesn't fold and proves he's the best player in the world.

I rember someone joking about a Suns/Bucks finals in the ratings thread...

 

[Ozymandeas]

The corpse of Brook Lopez, Holiday, Middleton and Giannis? That's a power house?

Bron dominated the East for nearly a decade. If KD can't get past this Bucks team don't ever mention him in the same sentence as Lebron.

This is why the Coliseum is trash. Out of those eight years Bron "ran" the East, he only had one year (2018) where you can argue he had a poor team around him.

The other seven years are irrelevant comparing it to KD's situation right now.

And even then, if the Cavs were still the best team in the East in 2018 despite Bron having no help, it shows how weak the East was. It's not anymore. The Bucks are legit. The Sixers are legit. The Celtics are legit. Those guys aren't little kids anymore.

Is this supposed to be impressive? East has been trash the entirety of Bron's career

Look at him in the West. Hasn't done shyt besides win some mickey mouse invitational

 

[PHamm]

the hot takes is flying off the stove right now

the agendas are ripe for the picking

its gonna be a long stretch til the next game

 

[Jalether]

Wiggins is better than any player currently on the Nets. I don’t wanna hear that curry shyt.

It’s KD and bunch of G league players against Giannis, Jrue and Middleton. Nikkas acting like KD losing to the Pistons.

A1 trolling

 

[Jalether]

Any superstar can do that in the east

Well KD is in the east now so why can't he do the same

 

[Marc Spector]

Rep

I can't even begin to wrap my head around people's thinking. We saw him do ALRIGHT on the Sonics/Thunder. But he didn't win a ring. One finals. One MVP....

All the sudden he joins a 73 win team and the very next time has Harden and Kyrie in their prime... And from those two stretches, we grading him? When he was pretty much single covered for 4 years straight? When he could close his eyes, pass the ball, and have a 50% chance of hitting a future 1st ballot hall of famer? When he had the best shooting backcourt of all time and then the best backcourt of all time?

That's the time to hone in on his career and say he's the best out? When other people are carrying worse teams to the same results... Exactly which team would lose if you took off KD and added _____________?

People are delusional

Hating and diminishing Lebron is a cottage industry.

People were in a hurry to proclaim Durant as best in the world because his two rings/FMVPs came at the expense of Lebron and the Cavs.

Plus proclaiming KD the best means his decision to go to GSW is justified since "he's the best and they OBVIOUSLY NEEDED HIM" says the Lebron haters.

 

[Omar Little]

KD doesn’t declare himself as a GOAT. Why is he graded on the curve of a guy who he and his legion of Stans say that the GOAT?


Oh yeah 2-1 Head to Head in the Finals with B2B Finals MVPs on his head, so insecure BronSexuals doing what’s expected

 

[BlueHeffner]

"Just Klay" is still a luxury

Not if you seen how Klay played those games

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Y’all are severely overrating our role players in this thread. KD has zero help, especially on the road where all of those guys have folded.
