Tony Parker, the best pg in the NBA, Leonard, Duncan the best big the NBA, aren't top 15?




Kill ya self

Duncan's the goat pf but in the twilight of his career

Doesnt matter, Pop would have a D-league team looking like a dangerous playoff squad

All you did was reach back far enough to quote shyt that was true at the time. Harden was better than Blake in 12-13. Blake stepped his game up this year, thats consensus. Harden, despite his flaws, is still the best sg in the league, thats consensus.

Keep tryin hard to change the subject though, which is your simple simon ass thinking the Thunder's iso pickup ball would ever win shyt in this league when Ive told you over and over that it will lose to better teams that run PLAYS and have quality coaches and ballhandlers that understand this.

You were quick to make @ posts gloating after every Thunder win. Now they're out again, of course, and nah now you wanna talk about James Harden and Blake Griffin

NOPE. You were wrong again. You'll always be wrong. Because at your core you do NOT understand basketball. All my points still stand.

Funny you bring up Harden to shyt on him when OKC STILL has yet to beat the Spurs or get back to finals since trading him.

Lol

You still don't get it

Wade is better than harden

Harden is closer to beal, monta, Klay than he is to wade

Keep stanning him though

 

[Houston911]

You can't trick me into a fight friend, why can't we just agree that whoever wins, Kobe loses?

So you just say Fukk me huh bruh?

 

[Malta]

So you just say Fukk me huh bruh?

It hurts me that you'd even think I'd wish ill on you.

 

[TheNig]

Why would I be mad friend? I'm playing with house money right now, I never envisioned in a million years the great one would still be out here at 38 playing for championships. Just like I'm sure you never thought Bean would be struggling to walk at 35

Speak to me when "da goat" plays more than 6 games in a season again, until then, may Duncan guide you to Islam.

You know what's wild...

This nikka is 38 and he's making serious impact on the game.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

There's nothing to get. Cant be the best at your position as a part-timer in the NBA. Healthy Wade, sure. During the season it was questionable if we'd ever even see that player again.

Lol at you tryna up the thread for about a half hour.

Real talk... I'll give you that. Hard for me to say that Wade is the best SG in the league when he missed 28 games. With that said, I'm not putting all of my stock into Harden either.

I'm sitting here thinking about it and you're right. Harden is probably the best SG in the league. But what does that say about the SG position?

Id have done the same for you my brother

I still fukks with you Breh, u just gotta accept Wes Matthews outplayed harden

Its weak We've talked about it at length.

If Harden doesnt improve he could get passed up by guys like Beal and Derozan in the next couple years, even a couple guys in this upcoming draft.

That's like validating a childhood fairytale after the fact it's proven wrong. It's untrue and always been untrue, just cause you believed in it once upon time doesn't change anything.

Keep tryin hard to change the subject though, which is your simple simon ass thinking the Thunder's iso pickup ball would ever win shyt in this league when Ive told you over and over that it will lose to better teams that run PLAYS and have quality coaches and ballhandlers that understand this..

You're arguing with yourself here, because I expected the Spurs winning to win the series and have ALWAYS criticized OKC (mainly the coaching) for not moving the ball. This is typical of you though, how many times have I said OKC don't have the right offensive weapons (a proper starting 5/developed bench + big man down low) and that they need to fire Brooks because of this hero-ball soap-drama they call an offense?

I even said this before the series:

They gonna need more than that, plus Kawhi is one of the better defenders on KD too. It's gonna be extremely hard for the Thunder to beat SA.

You can't play that two-man offense against the Spurs, they'll ice all that shyt on the PNR leaving Perkins or Adams out on an island and double down on Ibaka while Kawhi pins Durant. Danny will be able to matchup with Westbrook too.

Westbrook won't be able to take his guitar and talk a walk in the park against the Spurs, like he's doing with LA.

Thunder will have to not only match the Spurs' bench production but make up for all the other spots where they ain't putting up #s.


Nah, no team in the league can 'handle' the Spurs, they're too well-drilled and talented for that to happen.

Thunder won't be able to stop the Spurs from getting theirs. They'll outsmart them pretty much all series long, due to Pop v Brooks, it'll come down to Durant and Westbrook going apeshyt for them to progress - any type of misstep and it'll be hard for them to recover.

SO PLEASE EXPLAIN, HOW YOU CAME TO THE CONCLUSION, HOW I THOUGHT ISO-BALL WOULD WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP AND BEAT A TEAM THAT PREACHED BALL MOVEMENT AND HAD A COMPETENT COACH?

You lose again.

You were wrong again. You'll always be wrong. Because at your core you do NOT understand basketball. All my points still stand.

How does it feel to bang your head against the wall when acknowledging reality isn't an option for you?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Yeah, I feel like one day I woke up and out of nowhere these dudes were feuding like prime Jay and Nas.

Nas lost

At this point, @GoddamnyamanProf is basically that bodyguard from the Bravehearts.

Its been going on for awhile:

Better perimeter defenders? Since when has that been a problem for OKC? Thabo, Ibaka, Westbrook, who's the weak defender there?

No, the problem for OKC is that this iso-based offense is hit and miss. When they're on, they look unstoppable. But when they're off, they're prone to dry spells. That's how they can have statistically the #1 offense and still look awkward and out of sync at times.

Another fun fact: Miami was running that same iso ball when they came together, with similar results. Finals, no ring. Then they decided to get serious, switch up the game plan, move away from constant isos and become a truly great team. Will OKC ever make that step with Westbrook running the show? Remains to be seen. .

But again, you seem to be conflicted about whether actually knowing how to run an offense is even a good thing. You say Russ needs it but then claim that actually running an offense "wouldnt work" on the Thunder (lol) and basically attribute their success to Westbrook's frantic iso plays and constantly pushing the ball.

So again, this is simple: If you think the Thunder have a good chance of beating the Heat and winning it all this year, then keep doing what theyre doing. If not, then you agree with me that a change is necessary, and that change is exactly what Ive described. And again, bear in mind...the Heat themselves already tried what youre arguing for, what the Thunder currently have in place. They tried that iso shyt and lost, to a better and more balanced team. Then they smartened up and started winning championships.

I want the Thunder to smarten up too. You?

I told Gil this shyt before the Thunder lost LAST year. He wanted to argue a bunch of unrelated shyt and act like he knew better, same thing he came in this thread with. In addition to upping all his bookmarked threads after anything even coming close to a win and then going ghost when it inevitably doesnt work out, he also loves to double speak and argue in circles. Its really annoying and basically he can fukk off now.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

@GoddamnyamanProf dont bring other dudes into this, you aren't slick trying to lead them astray.

I told Gil this shyt before the Thunder lost LAST year.

GTFOH with this bullshyt. Did you not read the shyt I posted above? Are you slow on purpose?

I SAID THAT THE THUNDER WEREN'T GOING TO WIN A SHIP WITH AN ISO-BASED OFFENSE. I've said it countless times. I also said they weren't going to beat the Spurs playing like that. However, no other PG in the league other than Westbrook would of got them as far as they did. You were wrong in that they don't need Westbrook's scoring. Look at what Perkins produced, look at what Thabo produced, look at what their benched produced. Without his scoring they wouldn't have made in the WCF.

95 – Percentage of the Thunder's 107 points that came from four players. Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka and Jackson accounted for 102 on 33-of-74 shooting. Meanwhile, 10 players scored for the Spurs.

46- The Spurs bench outscored OKC's second unit by 46 points (51-5). It's hard to fault the Thunder's stars for running out of gas at the end when they receive no help. In fact, the Spurs' 51 bench points was the same amount the Thunder's bench scored in the past three games combined. Insult to injury, all five of OKC's came from Fisher, who likely just played in his final NBA game.The Spurs bench outscored OKC's second unit by 46 points (51-5).

Look at these numbers BUT BUT BUT LOOK AT THE THUNDER'S OFFENSIVE WEAPONS, THEY DON'T NEED WESTBROOK'S SCORING.

Not only did the bench not contribute, but what offensive production did Perkins and Thabo produced throughout the playoffs?

You will be forever wrong on this.

He wanted to argue a bunch of unrelated shyt and act like he knew better, same thing he came in this thread with.

What unrelated shyt? So now once you've been exposed for the pathological liar that you are, you try to flip the script?

In addition to upping all his bookmarked threads after anything even coming close to a win and then going ghost when it inevitably doesnt work out,

a) I don't bookmark threads b) I don't go ghost, I remember YOU TAGGING ME ONCE CHRIS PAUL WENT OFF IN GAME ONE OF THE LA/OKC SERIES, AND I RESPONDED SAYING PROPS TO HIM BUT HE WASN'T GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN...

and what do you know..... he didn't and Westbrook ended up shyttin on him for the rest of the series and winning Game 6 for them almost single-handidly.

he also loves to double speak and argue in circles. Its really annoying and basically he can fukk off now.
