My last post I just said he should have been unanimous pick on every voters ballot.
I call it like I see it.

If he just played the game, I'd never have anything negative to say about him except he's too good to be doing all the flopping.

The problem is you always have some kind of issue w/ him.

“Everyone in the locker room has been really positive,” Korver said. “I know there’s a lot of noise on the outside, but you wouldn’t know that if you walk in the locker room. That’s what I’ve focused on. I feel like if they’re not panicking, I’m not going to panic. I’m the new guy. If they’re OK, I’m going to be OK too. That’s really what it’s felt like. My family or friends are worried about me, like, ‘Are you OK? There’s so much stuff being written.’ I’m like, 'It’s really fine. No one is that worried about it.'”

what did you expect him to say? You think he would say something bad in the public? That proves nothing

Really?
I don't remember any other issues I've had with him this season, except the flop.
I said I could make a strong case for him being league MVP about a month ago.

Pretty funny.
The noise on the outside is coming from LeBron on the inside.

Like I asked WAMU, why did we need to know any of this?

Went to my first Warrior game of the season. I sat pretty close to the floor last night (about 6 rows from the floor seats) which are the seats I typically have when I go. I mention that not to brag, but to show how different the crowd is. I used to have these same seats for years when the Warriors were terrible. Every night even when we knew we were going to get our asses kicked, the crowd was amazing. People high fiving and fist pumping after made buckets and stellar plays. Last night, man, it was just disappointing.

The game was a blowout but there were so many exciting moments that I felt like I was the only one celebrating. The most notable was when Steph Curry crossed up Marvin Williams and made him fall, then hit a 3. I stood up immediately after he made him fall and had my hands up before the shot went up because I knew it was coming. I looked around and literally no one within eye shot stood up or was even cheering hard. WTF. When the opposition shot freethrows, you could hear crickets.

The Warriors crowd has been the best for years, but now that the team has achieved success, some of the "real" fans are either priced out or have sold their seats and a mark-up to those who just want to be able to say they were there. I guess that's the natural order of things, but it really reduced my overall level of enjoyment from attending the game.

I know the playoffs atmosphere will still be crazy and great from the Warriors crowd just because of the intensity of the game, but it's unfortunate to notice such a substantial drop off from the regular season games.

Same here when the Big 3 was here.
That's why I enjoy going more now.
You get the true fans vs the people who just want to be seen (and there are plenty of them in Miami)

When did I say we needed to know any of this? You don't understand I've already said he made a bad move by voicing his issues w/ the roster public. And yet you insist I'm giving him some kind of free pass.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

30 less players voted for Durant then LeBron...now THAT tells you something. lol

It does.
It was equally stupid.
Thing is, even though its not correct, you could make a case for some of the players in the WC.
In the East, come on?

So we say the same thing, but you want to get on my case about it?

Didn't you just say you didn't care?

I'll wait for what else I've said negatively about him this season

You're nonstop issues w/ him never end. That's what I'm pointing out. Remember how sure you were for 2 seasons that he was gonna opt out & leave the Cavs again? I'd say that prediction of yours backfired. Again no matter what he does you'll always have some problem w/ him.

 

[Heatles84]

Are you upset because you're going bald?

Not yet.

 

[LAD]

I heard another good way to look at it.

Which is better ?

6 Gold medals. (and that's it)
6 Gold medals + 3 Silver Medals.

Could do many other options also.

I guess it would depend on the individual & what their goals are, wouldn't it? I mean to some 2nd place isn't good enough.

wouldnt you rather be 2nd place then 4th place?

 

[LAD]

No, I'd rather be 1st place.

I said he for sure was going to opt out?
Uhh, NO. Never.
I might have said he would leave if Gilbert didn't live up to his word.
He's only been there 2 seasons, and after they won last year I said no chance on earth he would leave before this season.

So this season is more then half over, and Ive had zero issues with him before this...but have been complimentary.

Keep reaching, its pretty amusing.

 

[WiggyRuss]

uhh yah obviously...lol

but if you cant be first- obviously its better to be 2nd then 4th...right?

you also said he wouldnt sign a multi year contract and he did. you said he would never come back to play for Gilbert and he did.

you have been nothing but wrong from the get go.

 

[bksballer89]

Not sure if anyone posted this yet but pretty cool. Splash Dad?

Correct on Gilbert, but that was only because I assumed (incorrectly) that he would never becomes James' bitch.
Under normal circumstances, not a chance in hell he would have ever played for him again after Gilberts hate letter.
I never said he wouldn't play for Cavs again, I just thought it would take new ownership.

As far as multi year, I believe its a 2 year deal, and by league rules he couldn't do another 1 year again?
Is that incorrect?

How's your Whiteside failure/meltdown predictions going?
