So whats Jordans excuse for 1-9 again?

[AlternativeAcc.]

Luka already surpassed him in playoff wins (without alpha pippen) with one of the worst rosters in the league... against the most stacked team in the league


Luka > Jordan and its not close

[Axe]

How can a team be so stacked with an aging pg and an rs tanking leonard? :lol:confusedshrug:

Two superstars, championship coach. Elite D, best role players and best bench

Mavs have bottom 5 roster

Luka surpassed Jordan until further notice

Earlier i thought you were suggesting that they're the warriors

[knicksman]

6 rings vs 0 rings without superteams. I know it hurts for you guys coz alphas dont acknowledge superteam rings. But it is what is. We just have higher standards

Honestly for George, this is nutting up time. He needs to play well to finish this series - if they lose it come down to his extremely poor play on both ends.

You can't call a team stacked when the #2 is this bad and Harrell looks like a 10th man. They're stacked if everyone plays up to their reputation - that clearly isn't happening.

True, calling them 'most stacked' is misleading.

Sure they have a former fmvp in leonard and 1x champion hc in doc rivers but if iirc, the rest of his teammates don't even have any experience playing in the finals yet.

However, that's not to say the clippers aren't worthy title contenders. They'll just need to prove that first before anyone can say they're stacked af.

How about when the 6th man drops 36 and outplays whatever the Mavs call a 2nd option?

There's no excuses for the Clippers. They are stacked. There is no argument otherwise.

Its not like are LeBrons Heat who were extremely top heavy and reliant on LeBron and Wade (wade mostly underperformed like George) ... clippers have incredible depth... Lou dropped 40

You dont need experience in the finals to be stacked.

Just days ago people were talking about how the Clippers were a shoein for the finals because they have the best roster and best player.

Saying the Clippers are stacked is the majority opinion

Luka is destroying narratives though which is something Jordan (1-9) never did

I like how 29 year old in his peak PG is called "aging PG". :lol Just weeks ago PG was being spoken of as a top 30 all-time caliber player, one of the GOAT SF's, etc. We had 45 pages without a single critique of PG from the dozens of people advocating for PG in that thread. Now he is a washed up bum?

The Clippers were the consensus best roster just days ago. No excuses.

[Axe]

^^If you think i'm one of those fools who hyped pg so much in that particular thread you're talking about, then you are pretty much dumber than i thought.

[Bawkish]

so what's Lebron's excuse in 2003, 2004 & 2019?

[NBAGOAT]

yeah nobody ever claimed PG to be one of the GOAT SF's or even an top 30 all-time caliber player, please just stop

From the first page alone:


I always had Scottie Pippen as the 2nd best SF behind Bird until of course Lebron and KD stepped up..

Forgetting about careers since Pippen's is finished, where would you rank Pippen, PG and Kawhi on the all-time forward list after Bird, Lebron and KD in actually basketball ability???

and that is assuming Bird-Lebron and KD are top 3..


Def Better:

Bird
LeBron
KD
Baylor
Leonard
Dr. J

Arguably Better:

Barry
Nique
Havelicek
Worthy
Pierce
Hill
Dantley
PG


The thing about Paul George is he can actually get hot with his shot. He has an offensive ceiling that's higher than Pippen's, and is obviously a world class defender.


George is better than Pippen.


I'm assuming if we're talking peak play, the top 5 would be almost unanimously

LeBron
Bird
Dr. J
Durant
Kawhi

The rest of the top 10 gets trickier, imo it'd come down to these 6 guys

Hondo
Baylor
Pippen
Barry
Wilkins
PG

Which of those guys misses the cut?

44 pages more of this stuff. "Nobody" doe! :lol

[RealSkipBayless]

Jordan would've gotten swept by these Clippers.

It takes a special kind of player to maximize his roster like Luka.. Hardaway jr. playing like a star.. Seth Curry lookin' like Steph out there.. Boban looking like Hakeem. The list goes on

Jordan carried lottery teams to the 8 seed, so he faced the 8 vs 1 matchup

Otoh, lebron failed to carry lottery teams to the 8 seed in 04', 05', and 19', so he missed the 8 vs 1 matchup - he only made playoffs with high seeds/good teams and therefore easy 1st round matchups..

Btw, lebron beat Arenas in 06' by stealing his sidekick - Hughes was 22/5/5 and 1st team all-defense in 05', and Lebron stole him from Arenas in 06' - the Arenas/Hughes combo won the 1st round in 05', but lebron stole Hughes for the 06' run... :confusedshrug:... So Lebron was colluding and teaming up back in 05'
