What am embarrassment

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

When you've been elite for a long time, and a guy who's only been elite for 2-3 years comes and is put above you on rankings list, of course you're going to be pissed.

I don't think anyone puts Curry above LeBron (wouldn't be surprised if someone did), but people do put him above Chris Paul which is absolutely fucking stupid.

He is currently better than Paul.

 

[bksballer89]

And if the hawks win then they won't play either. Watching these teams quit is awful.

 

[bksballer89]

Been better than Paul for the last 3 years....at least

 

[bksballer89]

These nets and hornets just killed any drama we should have. Awful

Not what my post was regarding, whatsoever.

Not surprised you have shit reading comprehension though, STUPID.

The Nets have been an embarrassment for the better part of 2 decades now lmfao


That is the epitome of a can organization, the only way they're ever going to be relevant again is if they hit the lotto like Cleveland did and have a generational player born in Brooklyn who actually wants to win a chip for his city.

Completely different types of Point guards, hard to really say for sure, but either way I was talking about all time lists and within the context of the article, which wasn't talking about the now, it was talking about how Paul didn't get recognition like Curry does now when Paul was the best PG in the league for quite a few years.

Paul statistically, is better than Curry this year in games he's played, Curry had him the last 2 years, and before 14/15 it's all Paul so I don't know what you're talking about.

It just leaves a sick taste in my mouth to see bad teams who won't play competitive basketball for another 6 plus months rest their guys. I have no issues with playoffs teams doing this at this stage of the season so i can't be mad at the hawks if they rest their guys tomorrow

Oh........


Well in that case, thanks for tagging me when it was my pick even though I completely botched it.

Can the Hawks not move up in seeding? Are they already locked in?

I dont' feel like looking it up, but I hope they don't rest guys, I'll be pissed, that was easily our best chance to begin with.


Still, after how the Heat started this year, if they beat the Wiz and get back to .500, it's a huge accomplishment, no matter what that homosexual Wiggy says.

 

[bksballer89]

The league needs to do something about this even if they need to implement a flex schedule for the final 2 weeks of the year

If they beat Charlotte who are resting their guys again then they're locked in as the 5th seed. This is a joke. Miami shouldn't show up tomorrow

It's really bad for basketball, and Silver has been a great Commish since coming in after Stern, so I'm sure at the meetings this year this will be looked over thoroughly.

Gotcha....

Cp3 is a traditional pg who can score.

Curry is a scorer who can pass.

I can agree that Paul hasn't gotten the recognition he might think he deserves.

But, that comes with winning.

Curry has, Chris has not.

Plus, no Star in the NBA has gotten a bigger pass for flaming out, year after year, like Chris.

Wall is better too....THIS YEAR.

Chris might not be passed his prime.

But, he's dame sure at the peak and starting to make a slow decent.

They're playing their guys tonight but if they beat Charlotte tonight then there is no reason for them to play anyone vs the pacers tomorrow. Charlotte didn't even try these last 2 games. Embarrassment
