You better watch it! Someone might remind you that the Cavs '16 title's invalid because of injuries & Draymond being Draymond.

But can someone explain to me why the Warriors '15 title's vaild when Love & that Flat Earther were injured?

I can't disagree with any of this. One thing I'll give Lebron credit for, he played hard to the last minute for the Cavs and Heat respectively. He didn't play like a guy you know was on the way out. But that's the thing with KD, with his 2 rings, he's still not being compared to NBA ghosts like Lebron is. You'd think he'd see the opportunity in front of him to be able to 3-peat, which is something that Lebron hasn't (and most likely won't) accomplish.

You would think he'd stay one more year and 4 peat, something not even Jordan did. No one did but the 60s Celtics. But no, emo guy gotta emo.

If he punks out and costs us a ring I won't miss him one bit.

Don't mean to break up momentum, but think it was 135-131.

close enough though.

Is the site acting up for anyone right now? Not having this issues w/ any other sites but each thread I go to the 1st thing that happens is the page automatically scrolls to the bottom of the page.

Now you know how why we had hatred toward Kyrie "flat earth" Irving

Damn, that dude messed up on his tweet but as long as the 131 is in there lol

Take you lot time Boogie. Come back for the WCF.

He shouldn't come back.

Yeah some players are tremendous talents and help you win, but the personality makes it hard to root for them, and you don't really care if they leave. KD, Kyrie, for many LeBron, etc.

Then other guys are so great and personable that you wish them well whatever they do. If Klay Thompson leaves I will be devastated but still hope he does well. With KD I won't care about either.

HIGHLY doubt Klay leaves. I would be shocked.

Not to make light of the guys injury, because I really feel bad, but organizationally this might actually help them retain Boogie for next year. He might want to stay and rebuild again his value as I don't think a lot of teams will give him a ton now coming off an achillies and a torn quad.

Oh me too, I think it's 99% he stays, just giving an example of a player who's easy to love, even if he plays elsewhere. To compare with KD.

And they gonna need him without KD. Hell they need him for this playoffs the way KD looks checked out

Isn't there anyone in KD's camp who can say "dude, you're leaving, why not give your all one last playoffs?"

See I just don't know what's up in his head space. Maybe there's something legit off with him. I never viewed him as a non-competitive type of guy, so there's gotta be something behind the scenes that we're not privy to. I'm hoping it's not an "i'm out" type of mentality he has going, but it's the low hanging fruit, so it's what most people, including myself, are picking up on.

But we'll see what really happens down the stretch. Maybe this is the kick in the nuts that he needs that will make him re-consider his worth to this team.

What @CitySushi said makes sense. I've never seen someone in his position try to throw away and opportunity at a ring.

He is losing control of his ego. It's pathetic. Seems more interested in responding to haters and critics than playing. The ironic thing is he is telling fans/haters "to just watch and enjoy the game" yet he is doing the exact opposite. He should be just playing and not worrying about the outsiders. I mean this is the playoffs ffs

Should have kept shooting and let Draymond take care of this.

Not the same team as GS, of course, but I'd say Lebron did this against the Cs in 2010.

Not sure that is a good example. He knew he was gone after that series but you can't really do anything if the other team is just better. He was out there by himself and he was taking plenty of shots. He averaged 27, 9 and 7 for the series. That is just a case of getting sick of not having enough around him. KD has all the talent around him in the world, I'm really not sure what his problem is. It's a head scratcher. We know how great the W's are when KD plays at an elite level.
