So Rodman wasn't picked for those teams because of what he could do? Oh yea. He just happened to land on those teams by luck. My bad. You're right. A three year player is much better than an established legend. Go ahead and eat. Tell me more how good Green would d up Shaq and all the other best centers and forwards in the 90. Real centers and forwards, not these 3 point camping sissies.

Sure, but there's a reason that he played less than 30 minutes per game on both Pistons championship squads (24 in '89) and the Bulls had won three titles prior to him but needed someone to replace a phenomenal role player in Horace Grant after losing him to Orlando in FA. Wasn't the type of player that could lead a team to a title, so bringing up his championship count in comparison to another to prove his superiority is silly.

Career length does not matter when you're comparing two players at their best & the argument is that Green right now is better than Rodman ever was. Yes Green can guard pre '00 Shaq, what makes you think he couldn't if Rodman found occasional success? Physique wise he's even better equipped to defend in the post, is no less competitive, and unlike Rodman does a great job of stripping players in the post. He would also be receiving a lot of help from teammates in the form of double teams just like Rodman did.

And whoever says that did not watch Rodman play. And if Rodman wasn't the type to lead a team to a title, how is Draymond? Nobody but Warrior fans and kids who started watching ball in 2000 is picking Green over Rodman in any draft. Rodman wasn't a big scorer because he couldn't be, he simply knew what his job was. Come back when Green is an integral part of at least 4 championship squads to even begin the discussion of being on Rodmans level.

Well neither are, but Draymond will play a bigger role because of his superior offensive abilities and greater defensive versatility. He is the 2nd best player on the Warriors right now

Rodman wasn't a big scorer because he didn't have good scoring skills. Wasn't just a matter of choice. I'll pick Green over Rodman in a draft and I'm very well versed with NBA history. Again, its silly to wait until Green is a part of 4 championship squads to compare him to Rodman. Like shyt, is Charles Barkley a worse power forward than Rodman because he has zero titles? The ring argument is silly and you know that.

He can run an offense with Steph and Klay. Wow. I'll take the multiple rebounding champion, 2 time DPoY, 5 time champion over the guy who can run a set.

You stupid or nah? Draymond is basically a point forward. He can play both sides of the ball, rebound and has good handles. Rodman can only dominate one side of the ball while rebounding.

Use common sense

Green a better player. Rodman played more seasons so no shyt he won more championships. You're not even mentioning that fact that he played a smaller role in all of those season than the role green is playing right now

We'll see but bare in mind they just gave up two games to the world champs in a matter of one week plus alot of his key guys looked suspect in the light. He should've just rested everybody if he was really on some mind games sh*t. I'm seeing Kwahi having trouble getting shots up, Danny Green's jumper is missing, Tony Parker looking his age, Ginobli is a shell of himself, Patty Mills not hittin' threes, etc. That's a lot to take in against the defending champs for playing mind games breh:stopitslime:

Ok but why rest Duncan and Boris? That subcommunicates to the rest of the team that he doesn't really care about these games. The last game? Complete mind games. He started all of his guys, called that quick timeout to look like he cared—sorry dude, I don't buy it. And I had money on Warriors -6.5 in that game too. Warriors are a great fukking team, but we have yet to see Pop and his guys really, really give it to them outside of that first match-up a few weeks ago.

wow

:skip:

ok, I see what i'm dealing with here
:pachaha:

how come they couldn't turn it on and beat the Clippers last year?
lemme guess it was rigged? :heh:

Indeed, you're dealing with a very intelligent human.

Honestly? Game seven in my opinion was fixed. The last play when the Monty McCutchen started the horn on purpose to fukk all the momentum was very sketchy. I was so confident the Clippers would win that game I bet $350 on Clippers ML and then I took those profits and put it on Mayweather that night. Good night of betting for me.

:mjlol: Pop benches two of his most integral players, the league wants 72 wins to set up the 73-win game on Wednesday which will garner a tremendous amount of eyeballs, but people still think the spurs were going to win this game.

I wish I bet the warriors on the moneyline
Say breh you got any links to provide to back up what you're saying about manipulation in these games?

I'm not saying you're wrong but I'd like to hear a little bit more

Curry still has tons of room to grow? So he's gonna get much better than he is now? :heh: Thats a new one...

Scottie led the 94 Bulls to 55 wins w/ no Jordan and no Rodman, Horace Grant as the next best player on the team. You think Klay could come back next season w/ no Steph and no Draymond and be the best player on a 55-win squad? :comeon: Dont disrespect Pip like that.
This. This Warriors team isn't a playoff team without Curry

What reason would the NBA have to rig that game
