Series Thread: 1) Golden State Warriors vs. 8) Los Angeles Clippers

Unfortunately when I now hear KD's name instead of first thinking about his great game I think of all his antics instead.

That says more about you than KD

 

[tlance]

Sure but in the end it was easily the right move for him.

He obviously cares way too much what people think.

But at the end of the day, if he had the opportunity to go back in time and make a different choice, he wouldn't because he has accomplished everything he set out to.

He knew people would criticize him when he made this decision. Maybe he didn't realize how much and for how long, but he knew.

Might be right, but I'm not so sure about this. He might think he could have stayed and pulled it off in OKC. I don't think he'd get criticized this much and for so long.....even after 2 titles and being the MVP each time.

You mean based on your interpretation of my 5 word post?

Got it.

You - "Butler cannot be the #1 player on a good team (10 words, BTW or 11 if #1 counts as 2)..........no, wait, a vocal leader.......no, wait, on a contending team."

You moved the goal posts 2 times.

with the return of Bogut cannot imagine anyone sets more illegal screens than GS.

It's his superpower, like Harden flopping

For most I'd agree. They'd think "I got my 2 titles, don't care what anyone thinks."

But he cares, and maybe too much.

Beats hurricanes and earthquakes. So we've got that going for us.

I prefer earthquakes to Ohio

3 titles and easily the right move

This year a lock already? OK...kind of agree.

But you are thinking like yourself. Clearly he is far more insecure than most and cares too much. You also don't know he could not have won elsewhere. He's pretty good.

Nope.

Because your definition of those terms is clearly different from mine. That is essentially what you are arguing here.

Maybe it was lazy of me to say "good team". I can give you that. But those who know me best on here know that to me, "good team" = contender. And the '15 Bulls were not that.

Also very debateable who their #1 was.

But I am not doing this any more. You can have the last word if it really matters that much to you.

He is insecure, doesn't mean the Warriors move wasnt the best one. He gets 3 Finals MVPs and then goes and wins in NY or wherever. Pretty similar to LeBron's story

my mother-in-law hailed from Ohio...

pretty much cinched it for me...

If? lol

I didn't bother to peruse the last fews pages, so not sure if this has been mentioned.... NBA rescinds KD/ Green double tech...


Durant, Green double-technical rescinded

 

[Montalban]

Yeah well you say a lot of things...

.....and quite eloquently

 

[Montalban]

Your insinuations are completely unfounded.

You are assuming a man must have been involved in criminal activity because he was murdered. Fact is, he worked with gang members. There are plenty of altruistic things that could have gotten him killed. And you assuming the worst is foul.

If the murder victim were some famous white dude, you would be singing a totally different tune. And we all know it.

I'm not insinuating anything. I'm saying it. As for the bolded; unless he was gang affiliated and into the hip hop culture that is rife with violent crime.

for your sake, I really hope this is part of your schtick and not what you actually believe.

Never said GS move not the best. Just we don't know....for him.
