Dude Steph got his soul snatched from him by Kyrie Irving in Game 1.

Kyrie one of the worst defenders in the League Irving.

Kyrie, playing on 1 leg and still bodying up Steph because he's that trash on defense Irving.

Kyrie, swatted Steph twice in 1 game despite being 1 bad move away from destroying his knee Irving.

And where Kyrie ranks among the league's top point guards is debatable, much as I love him. You could argue he's not even Top 5.

I'm tired of hearing about this gap-toothed fakkit. He's never going to do anything relevant for the rest of his career besides set the 3-pt record. Lawson's right. He did what I expected for his team to do in a post-season where the whole damn league is rolling around on wheelchairs, but let's not fukk around and act like this dude is on that Bron/KD level. :yeshrug:
You still :umad: as hell, and wrong too might I add.

With Lawson Houston is gonna be a contender. Hell, they were a pretty good RS team last year. GS-LAC-HOU top 3 in the West. That over on the Rockets going to be mighty profitable :banderas:
You gonna disrespect SA & OKC like that? :dame:

To be fair to @Blackthoughts, Lawson has been throwin shots at the Warriors before they even won the championship -

http://www.thecoli.com/threads/ty-l...hem-light-skinned-guys-better-not-win.339115/
HAS zero to do with what he said THIS TIME. he didnt throw a shot, he kept it real. he's saying let me make sure to give curry someone to guard. thats all. now what T law doesnt realize is this. one thing that helped the cavs stay in the series was the SIZE of Shump and Delly. They are pretty big pg's. kyrie and tlaw are not. so they will score on curry but wont be able to play any sort of defense on him since they are small and short guys in comparison to curry. so if you thought him shooting like that looked easy this past championship run. its going to look even easier on this next one if they meet. curry needs to be guarded and be forced to guard a John wall/westbrook type of guy. a guy thats kind of tall for his position too, and has defense and can score. that would probably bother his offense.

I said this after the post-season ended and I'll say it again: STEPHEN CURRY DIDN'T GUARD A SINGLE STARTING PG IN THE PLAYOFFS.

Pelicans: Jrue was out and hurting, I think he played a game or two but came off the bench and Curry didn't have to do shyt against him.
Grizz: One eye Conley, missed 2 games and was hurt in the other ones.
Rockets: Beverley missed the entire series
Cavs: We all know what happened to Kyrie


That shyt was an easy ride. I'm not saying Warriors weren't great, but that was one of the easiest rides in the Western Conference in a long time.
Klay guarded Conley tho

It actually does have something to do with what he said, because we don't know if that comment is coming from an 'honest' place, due to the fact his Napoleon complex hating ass took shots at them before they even won anything - simply on a reason that wasn't even basketball related.

This could be a case of him trying to veil the action of sucking his teeth with the closest, most convenient form of handy logic.

Ya'll won the championship my nicca.. you posting like ya'll never even made the playoffs before and you have something to prove. Right now, as a defending champion, you supposed to be sittin' back with a brew and a blunt in your hand - or a lemonade and a cigar on some not give a f*ck

it doesnt matter if its coming from a honest place or not. Was the comment true or false? it was TRUE. end of discussion.

That's because they had demons to exorcise (losing to the Heat in damning fashion the season before), not to mention they were all relatively healthy. One can't expect them to replicate that type of drive and hunger a season later, when they basically had nothing (not in the literal sense) left to fight for. You see, you can't depend on the nature of battle tested players and IQ, as if that has value-precedence over talent and ability. This is why them losing left you bewildered, because you either misinterpret how basketball works or you didn't watch enough Clippers games.

I mean how can you say the magnitude of this loss was an anomaly to the point where these teams weren't on any level, evenly matched? It doesn't make one bit of sense.

They're also a team that won more games than SA and have TWO top-10 players in the league. In order for this to be an upset of historical proportion -- according to you -- they would need to have a record that basically is out of the immediate possibility of them progressing past the first round and have no player with any notable elite qualities.

This is what I don't understand on how YOU don't understand that the Clippers had a realistic chance of winning in the first place.

This sounds like a code word for "Yeah he's a better player but I don't like him".

He's far from one of the most underappreciated GREAT players in the game - in fact he's quite the opposite. There's a reason he receives the least amount of criticism out of all the elite players in the league.

You mean to say that when Griffin is exhausted from carrying the scoring load during the first three quarters (with minimal help from CP), only then does Paul go into scoring-mode late in the game - instead of ya'know balancing out when to shoot and pass?

I'm not a Warriors fan, I'm a basketball fan.

Actually, the Warriors had every business winning that series -




It was only a 'perfect storm' that had the Rockets coming back in Game 6 against LAC, when they were down by 19/20 points late in the third-quarter. I'm 99.9% sure that we're unlikely to see a situation/result that mirrors that in our lifetime. Not to mention, the Clippers were emotionally spent from the previous series, to the point where they couldn't mentally put back up their guard, after dropping it in that game.


It's the Clippers, man!....The Clippers!

My original statement was not without a sense of hyperbole about the contrasting culture of both franchises.

Maybe I'm like Stevie.Blind to all the technical minutiae of the game because I'm very superstitious.

I just don't see the Clippers ever coming out on top when the stakes are high.You could put Shaq, Jordan, Bron, Kobe, and Magic Johnson on the Clips & the basketball Gods will still find a way to stymie that franchise on the court.

It was like they made a sacrifice to the gods in order to get past the Spurs.As you said, they were spent.


Died a proverbial death & the Rockets fed on their carcass in the next round
