Series Thread: 1) Miami Heat vs. 2) Boston Celtics

See all you got left are the typical petty insults. Awesome game plan.

High functioning or the McJobs program?

You said the MVP race was close. No it wasn't.

Yes it was. That’s the fewest 1st place votes since Nash…another result that gets questioned.

Do people really care that much about these awards? Everyone knows that the voters are people who got hooked into a narrative or people voting with an agenda. The opinions of these voters are really no more informed than the common fan.

Just build yourself an MVP trophy outta macaroni shells and put Embiid's name on it to make yourself feel better.

He didn't win the award. Dry those crocodile tears and get over it.

Yep. They’ve made a mockery of this stuff. I think the All NBA team is announced tonight. According to the MVP vote, Embiid was the 2nd best player in the league but he’ll be 2nd team All NBA.

I just like fucking with a certain unnamed 76ers fan about Embiid not winning the award.

Good move getting away from that talking point. Closest vote since the last fugaze MVP.

Is that what’s happening here? I mean I only told you about 5 weeks ago that I’m trolling you and you still take the bait like a fat kid with cake in front of him.

LOL. He really shouldn't care so much about it. It's a media narrative driven thing. It's the same reason why Curry doesn't have a Finals MVP. The media hasn't wanted him to win one. Maybe Curry will have a chance this year if the Warriors finish off the Mavs and go on to win the Finals, but I wouldn't be surprised if the narrative becomes "Wiggins is more important" or "Poole is the real MVP."

And this comment is why you can't let things go. Just finish up whatever it is you have to say to sooth your ego. This isn't about trolling for you. As you end up doing the same thing each time. After having an issue with something I've said you predictably have nothing left but the petty insults.

So we can rule out high-functioning

Did Steph put up better numbers in the Finals than KD? I really don't remember. As far as Wiggins or Poole being more important. I hope nobody is foolish enough to suggest something like that.

 

[The Q]

He didn't grab his knee. His hand is clearly above the knee. Anyone can watch the play for themselves:

I think he tripped over Pritchard leg.

But I can see how it looks bad

Steph was definitely more important than Iguodala in 2015. Can't really criticize KD getting the Finals MVP in 2017 and 2018. KD put up great numbers, especially in 2017, and he hit that dagger 3 in LeBron's face in Game 3. However, if Steph would've been voted as the 2018 Finals MVP, it wouldn't have been crazy.

I think that Steph purposefully deferred to KD while he was here to make him feel more comfortable and to make him feel like this was his team as much as it was Curry's team, but as we know, Draymond ruined all of that in 2019. LOL.

Obviously, I hope that Wiggins and Poole continue to have excellent games, and if they do, people should think about how much of those performances are influenced by having Curry as a teammate. Curry has always been the engine of this team. He won't always have the pretty numbers, but he's unquestionably the leader and he makes his teammates better.

You also blamed the refs earlier this season when your team had a poor shooting first half. I have never accused of something you didn't say. Sometimes you go the homer route. It's happened before and it'll happen again.

Couple of things here:

What does having blamed the refs earlier in the season have to do with whether or not he blamed them last night?

Saying the refs did a lousy job while acknowledging that the refs didn't matter because the Heat no showed, is not blaming the refs.

After I responded to you I realized I left out '15. Steph's an all time great that changed the game in ways few have. That right there makes him a legend. But a Finals MVP award could mean he has all the achievements to be mentioned with the elite of the elite.

Draymond needs to stop being so chatty with the refs. But the Warriors are a fun team to watch.

Okay fair enough.

Hopefully Marcus will be ready to go tomorrow night.
