Good lord KD was nuts last night.
If Lebron could have shot better last night, Cleveland wins. He still had a solid game (probably sub-par for his standards in this playoffs), but Curry sucking dick really gave them an opportunity to win. Too bad KD picked this night to have his best game of the playoffs. That last shot was ridiculous. 6/7/2018 9:06:58 AM |

If Lebron truly was the best player on the planet like you keep insisting, he’d be a better shooter than Curry (he’s not) or more versatile than KD (he’s not). 6/7/2018 12:03:25 PM |

So if he was the best player in the world (he is) then he would be better than two other top 5 players' best attributes, combined? Got it. Sheesh.6/7/2018 12:37:11 PM |

What I posted was a retort to a retarded argument to begin with. Lebron is unquestionably one of the best players in NBA history. He’s the greatest player of a generation. But that’s where the argument stops. The conversation today should center around KD’s performance and how the Ws are one win away from cementing a dynasty- not how “well if Lebron had played better, they would have won!!!111”
That shit is childish, which is exactly why I framed my post the way I did.

don’t pretend that you didn’t mean what you posted
you think that Durant is a more versatile player than Lebron, and that is very dumb. the only reason you think that is because you don’t know much about basketball and he plays for your favorite team

KD is definitely more versatile than Lebron. Are you seriously arguing that Lebron is a better 3 point shooter? 6/7/2018 1:13:11 PM |

Everybody knows the one weakness in LeBron’s game is his versatility. It’s often said that he can really only play one position on offense and defensively he can only guard one position. In a lotta ways he’s a one trick pony.

I never said Lebron wasn’t versatile. I never said he wasn’t a great shooter. And I certainly never said he’s the greater player on the planet, as if it was some indisputable fact. But if you all want to keep talking about how great he is, even after a loss and a dominating KD performance, go right ahead. To his credit, he’s handled being down 0-3 pretty well in his post-game comments. It seems like forever ago he was insisting he was the best player on the planet, huh? 6/7/2018 1:49:35 PM |

UJustWait's post-game discussion rules:
1) You can only talk about one player after a game (unless it's not a Warrior)
2) That player must be from the winning team (unless the Warriors lose)
3) NEVER talk about a player from the losing team...even if it's one of the best players ever, who just dropped another triple double, who will a FA in the offseason and everyone is wondering where he will go.
*by the way...I said Lebron played average-to-subpar for his standards last night. His outside shot not going down probably prevented them from winning
** I'll ask again...are you okay?

If he had just said all those things about KD and left it at that, I wouldn’t have anything else to add. But he couldn’t help himself and he just had to bring up Lebron. Really, there’s nothing else to talk about, so I can’t fault him too much, but it’s just a little tiring at this point. 6/7/2018 2:01:43 PM |

Of course my posts were stupid strawman statements. A comment as ridiculous as UJW’s deserved the laziest response possible.

People are calling the Warriors the greatest assemblage of basketball talent in NBA history. What more do you want? The Warriors are getting tons of praise for being so dominant. People aren’t ignoring KD and they aren’t ignoring the dynasty GSW has.

Probably about as difficult as it would be to only talk about one team and its players in a game that involves two teams. Lebron Derangement Syndrome...fo sho.

It is entirely possible to praise someone's incredible performance without bringing up another exceptionally skilled and talented individual at the same time. Had the Cavs won game 1, and I had posted something like "Lebron played great, but if Curry had hit more 3s they would have won" you would act the same way.
Anywhoooo, I, unlike many others, am not expecting a game 4 sweep. 6/7/2018 2:33:44 PM |
