I. This all started because @Rigby. brought up that Kyrie is suffering from knee issues (in this postseason) to explain his subpar play, another poster said "Oh so now knee problems can be used as an excuse for underperformances? I see you nikkas " - basically meaning why do certain posters get to bring up Kyrie's knee problems as an excuse, yet in the Finals last year they weren't acknowledging the same for Curry underperforming - who was dealing with the lingering effects of a MCL sprain; swollen knee and limited movement? It's pointing out the hypocrisy that seems to plague the land of LeBron stans, as we've all seen this season.well well.. come to find out we actually share the same opinion on kyrie's injury
and yet.. you decided i was talk about kyrie being injured while playing curry last year
the moment you read CURRY.. you lose all capacity to make sense.. everything revolves around protecting curry despite no one attacking curry...
did i say curry was 100% in the finals? or did you simply read the injury has a healing time of 1 to 4 weeks?
a grade 1 MCL is not as bad as a broken kneecap.. that's the sole point i was pushing.. one if a lifetime problem... the other one is a 1 to 4 weeks problem...
HOWEVER.... playing in a final on a recently injured knee will not be smooth operations...as a person who went through REHAB.. i KNOW that even healed.. you gotta be careful about what you do or it just might swell back up (had that) or even re-injure (jabari).. did you even see me say once GSW was fully healthy last year??
do some soul searching.. find out why you flip every you think curry is being attacked.

You can't apply the reasoning of Kyrie's knee issues to his subpar play this postseason, if you didn't also acknowledge the same for Curry last postseason.
II. You come outta nowhere and reply with some smart dumb shyt "he had surgery on it.. he literaly BROKE his knee..i think it trumps a small MCL sprain" as if that is even a counter argument to that specific post you quoted.
III. Yes you implied Curry was 100% in the Finals, when you said "You make it sound worse than it was..it was a grade 1 mcl sprain. grade 1 is 1 to 4 weeks before your back to 100%". Curry's injury was in April, the Finals were in June. The period when he injured his knee and the Finals was longer than four weeks. If you aren't implying that Curry was 100%, why the fukk did you even bring up his type of injury takes 1-4 weeks before someone is 100% as if it's relevant? It's even stupid to speculate that a Grade 1 MCL sprain only takes 1-4 weeks before you're back to 100% in the first place, let alone apply this to Curry as if he didn't come back within two weeks; increasing the probability that the sprain didn't heal completely and he was just prolonging the healing process by playing on it. As we saw in the WCF and Finals when he had swelling to his knee and limited movement.
IV. Nobody is saying a Grade 1 MCL sprain is as bad as a broken kneecap. The point is, it's being pointed out that some folk are using the excuse of Kyrie's knee problems for his subpar play in this year's playoffs (which is fine, because it's reasonable), but they didn't apply the same principle to Curry last season when he was dealing with knee issues himself. Kyrie didn't break his kneecap in this year's playoffs, so you can't use that to suggest what he's going through right now is worse than what Curry went through in the Finals last season.
I don't even know why this simple shyt needs to be explained. It seems to be a regular thing whenever I converse with you.
