:lol that was clever

Trump was smart for not appearing. We all know it would have been a hit piece with weird edits, but him not appearing puts more attention on Kamala failing the interview. Im starting to think Kamala went on a bunch of shows this week to distract people from the 60 minutes interview, only to make a fool of herself even more with her answers in some...

The main disconnect is fans thinking all teams are built to win a championship. A good 20 at a time are absolutely positive they aren’t going to win. They’re just building a competitive lineup or trying to keep fans showing up until the situation is right to go for it. That situation might be brought on by developing youth or tanking or waiting...

So much out there, we've become immune to his endless stupidity, that has to be the explanation.

The goal is to win championships. Not win 35-45 games a year and win a series or two in a decade. Under that microscope of "how do I build a title" of course you need "that guy" and only a handful of them exist unless it's a 2004 Pistons kind of thing. Either way, Van Exel doesn't fit in the Pistons mold (defensive slanted big time) and he...

A great deal of those players were really useful both for running offenses that require screens away from the ball and for disrupting offenses that lean on post play. I’m not sure people like John Lucas the third have a purpose outside an emergency lack of offense where you just hope someone can hold a shit lineup together on that end for 3...

I don't blame him for the Spurs in 2007. That would be akin to expecting MJ to best the Celtics in 86. Or even the Celics in 2008 and to a lesser degree 2010. 2008 was like MJ going against the Pistons in 89, the best individual losing to a superior team. 2010 the Cavs were on top of the conference but I feel like their record over sold how good...

And far as Nick versus Bibby that matchup could swing wildly. Bibby had better numbers in 2002 when they had Nick shackled but in 03 when they just let him go? He cooked everyone on the Kings. I remember on here a lot of the Bibby hype died down when Webber hurt his knee and people were wondering where he was while Nick was doing legendary...

Yea I agree with that. East was more of a gauntlet an that takes its toll. But he still showed to have a winning record against them. Where as Lebron has a losing record vs Spurs, Warriors, Mavs, Nuggets, Celtics etc. as a whole.

IT was terrible in the playoffs compared to what he showed in his borderline MVP regular season. I remember teams were picking on him so bad defensively he was almost unplayable. Van Exel was also really bad in the playoffs with Shaq. Fisher pretty much always did his job. His ceiling and talent were lower but he simply executed better in a lesser...

Yes but that's not to say if he's facing them every year in a tougher conference that the same results will bear out. Basically you're saying he's still getting to the finals 9 times regardless of which conference, and I just don't see it. If the Lakers were relatively less tested on their way to the finals coming out of the west, they would be...

Magic has a winning record against Philly, Boston, and Detroit in the playoffs. He played them 8 times and went 5-3 in series vs those teams.

I'm talking about his level of help relative to the league he was in, not in comparison to Lebron. It's possible he doesn't win 5 out of 9 having to deal with Philly, Boston and Detroit if the Lakers were in the east.

Well yea he was like 3 inches shorter and 40 pounds lighter. Physics tell you that he's going to be able to stop and start quicker. You have to consider what they are respectively capable of doing at their size. Calvin Johnson couldn't get out of his breaks as quickly as an Antonio Brown or Marvin Harrison. But nobody that was 6'5 240 could...

Jordan was faster out of the triple threat and to this day had a legendary first step. Lebrons speed is more momentum-based, a controlled freight train. You watch him in an open court setting where he starts off from one end and starts sprinting to the other. His first step isn't elite so he needs more screens and picks to shake off rhe defender.

I mean did Magic really have more help than Lebron? At the beginning of their careers sure but for the past 13 years? I wouldnt say so. Magic was still winning even after Kareem was done. And they both played in a weak conference for most of their careers. Magic was beating dynasty teams in the Finals though and won more than he lost. He packed 5...

I’m trying to remember what disaster you referring to with Thomas on the Celtics. Only remember a couple runs. That year he got hurt but they were in the conference finals and he missed the last few games of that series versus Cleveland and the other year they lost to the Hawks, I don’t remember being a particularly good team. Not expectations...

True but he also had one hell of a squad. I don't think he's leading the bottom drags of the West to 5 rings.

Eh... I don't know about that. The game tape shows when Lebron gets a head of steam he was faster. MJ didn't even really seem that fast in the open court eye test wise to me. There's a big difference between a 40 yard dash on a football field and what speed you can reach dribbling a ball on a basketball court. Westbrook is probably also 0ne of...

Depends on how you define athleticism and what components of it you value more than others. Who's more athletic? A 280-pound man with poor lateral movement, a 4.40 forty, and a 40" vertical or a 225-pound man with exceptional lateral movement, a 4.40 forty, and 40" vertical?

Musk is clearly sympathetic to Nazism, you can take out of that whatever you will. **** Mao, me baiting idiots like you doesn’t mean I like him. I’m an anarchist, Mao sucked. You thought you had something there :(

Garnett and Duncan are technically better than Dirk @ everything except shooting yet all 3 had similar impact in their primes and Dirk has even beaten them H2H in the playoffs. Logic like that would tell us Gary Payton > Curry because all steph was really better than Payton at is scoring. But the thing is Magic / Curry / Dirks offense was so...

Already addressed it. Is Elon Musk a nazi? Btw the whole conversation, same as always with you, is super retarded. Especially considering how you're a communist and per your own words, sympathetic to Mao.

???? How are you too dumb to remember this? You then proceeded to spend time defending him and linking stuff from him :wtf: What else are we to conclude but that you think Nazism is a positive?

He was still elite in 2004 and 2005 yeah, but even then I recall his shot becoming more of a line drive because of his back, he didn't get the same lift and that caused the dip in efficiency.
