NBA: The "4th" @ Wannabe Kobe and the Stephenaires: Game Thread

[D-Wade]

Uh oh. Better just be an excuse for him to sit out for the ASG.

Dwyane Wade said after game that he's got a nerve issue that is affecting his ability to move his foot. Will fly to NO, see team doctor

Why can't he just tear an ACL? So y and arrogant.

Lebron and Superfriends have destroyed the NBA. I'm just glad my Mavs beat them in the Finals.

[Cry Havoc]

Lebron doing what he does he dropped his Control verse in thatNBA interview ...the past two nights was he BET cyper and Grammy awards performance a la King Kendrick. Durant may not have the MVP on lock just yet ...

LeBron's Feburary last year had a PER of ~38. Which is hard to even fathom. No way is the MVP race over.

Gotta say this though... I don't know if we've ever had two guys at their peak just decimating the NBA on a night-in, night-out basis like this. I think LeBron and Durant might be even better on both sides of the ball than Bird/Magic. ing insane. The difference between the top 2 guys and the rest of the NBA is a chasm.

Agree 100%.hard to imagine anyone else ringing I thought Finals rematch early on especially after watching Westbrook before he got hurt but injuries have hit u almost as much as us tbh

Regular season buzzer beater lol
Ugly SOB lol

[Jacob1983]

Shouldn't Lebron get a technical for that gesture he does with his hands when he acts like he is pushing something down and stomps?

[gnsf0946]

Last season he was hitting last second shots, taking over the game in the 4th and then came the Finals where he was too scared to shoot jumpshots, anything but GOAT tbh.

ting on your own team to downplay LeBron

ting on your own team to downplay LeBron

Going to OT (after a once in a lifetime shot) vs. a team that has a player with 8 turnovers and a player going 6-23

that's the reality, nothing to downplay

i see what you did there...

in all seriousness though. Curry did have 2 crucial 4th corner turnovers, no denying that. i still find it hard to pin the loss squarely on him. as in i don't think its fair to say "curry lost them the game." agree or disagree?

I don't think anyone is pinning the loss squarely on him. He didn't get them into a 21pt hole. He helped dig them out though. It's just that when you have climbed back to the top, you don't take a swan dive to the bottom again. Curry gets too confident in his shooting ability and thinks that translates to passing as well. He can hit from anywhere on the court, I believe, but his passes are lazy and predictable and his shot selection is questionable. He shot lights out last night, was very impressive, almost super human at times, but the Warriors could have won that game if he had a better basketball IQ and his coach wasn't just a teammate in a suit.

Someone post Curry's shimmy after that and-1.

they deserved to lose after that . light skin nig never learns.

Very well put, not much to disagree with. Fwiw ur tone regarding curry seems a little less angry than in the wannabe Kobe thread

Odd that you feel you can detect angry on a forum. I spit truths like a minigun, you were just down range.

It's not odd at all. You can pick up an authors tone by reading.

Only if you've well familiar with the author.

Lol no. You can pick up a book and figure out the tone. You can read an article and deduce the authors tone. This is a stupid argument, tbh

& it's always sad then, because you've wasted your time...and the author has failed you the reader & himself, his craft, his potential.

Forum posting is more like creative writing than expository writing. Creative writing employs methods and usages of words so that tones aren't so easily discerned until you're familiar with the author's works. Since you're not familiar with mine, you have no idea. You haven't read enough of my writing on different subjects using different tones to be able to categorize which tone I am using. You're just being a pretentious little argumentative prick like usual.

What tone was that?

[spurraider21]

Look at the you argue about, and then call me philopolemic

[spurraider21]

the tone is clearly condescending in the sample he just gave. its just stupid to argue with a guy that isn't even trying to make a point.

i wasn't even trying to insult or take a shot at you... i literally just said your tone was different in your analysis of Curry in this thread as compared to your main wanna be kobe thread. why you got so defensive over that is beyond me
