Richard Jefferson criticizes the Warriors for not running it back after the 2016 Finals: “They were like, ‘We’re gonna go get our big brother’”

This is dumb.

As an organization your goal is to continue improving your team.

Criticizing the Warriors organization for trying to get better is sooooo dumb

Papa Ball's back & running his mouth. Anyone surprised? Now that walking & talking hot air machine's saying LiAngelo's better than Zion. Oh the laughs never stop w/ that blabbermouth.

If LeBron would have done what KD did people would still be blasting him for it today. Doesn't matter if it was 2 years ago. KD's also the same jackass that had to create fake social media accounts to defend his own sorry ass. And sice he got to G.S. doesn't he lead the league in total T's? Funny how he gets what to me is a free pass for all of his antics.

Shit some people still talk about how LeBron left Miami 4 years ago. How is that still a valid topic yet KD's nonsense isn't?

How is he getting a "free pass"? This post of yours is one of the millions of bits of grief he's gotten

And just because it's old to talk about LeBron leaving Miami doesn't mean it's not old to talk about KD leaving OKC. Both topics are tired.

“Where I come from, in the park and in the streets, if you’re playing and you lose to somebody, the first words are run it back, same teams, Run it back, same teams, right? We don’t need to change the teams, run it back. That’s how we grew up. Because you don’t want to change anything. Like, no, we felt we were the better team, we just didn’t play well enough so let’s run it back. They didn’t do that. They were like, ‘we need to go reload. We’re going to go get our big brother.’ Like, oh, thanks guys. That’s fun.”

LOL

then Jefferson toasts KD

If it were the other way around, I'm sure you wouldn't sound like a butt hurt Betty like you do now.

Again, I didn't say any of that. I said that using a Cleveland writer's report to validate a process that has been rewarding the Cleveland franchise more often than not of late isn't the strongest vote of confidence.

well her report was given after witnessing the process, so maybe she might have a clue?

 

[dtgold88]

Try it a different way.
No more Wade.
No more James.
Tell me when the next will be that the Cavs have a better record then the Heat?

My guess is 2020-21 season. Maybe next year if they get a top 2 pick.

I never said anything about KD leaving OKC though. Everything I mentioned he's done since getting to GS.

His attitude isn't old news, he just got T'd up again a few games ago. One T away from a 1 game suspension. I can't think of another superstar like KD that's racked up so many T's in the last 2 seasons. And that social media stunt of his happened last season.

 

[dtgold88]

Seemed simple but once again it was that she witnessed the process and might know more than you.

seems reasonable. I would expect hte Cavs to be pretty bad again next year...the following year start to make their move and after that start going on another nice little run where they actually have a chance to win a playoff series or two.

yah the time line should be interesting.

I mean, I definitely wouldnt trade Sexton for any one on the Heat thats for sure...I def. wouldnt trade the Cavs pick for anyone on the Heat thats for sure.

The Cavs have 3 extra first rounders and a bunch of extra 2nd rounders to take some stabs at it when compared to the HEat as well.

Agree...obviously, they have one advantage we can't do much about. South Beach a better draw for young, rich guys than Cleveland.

LOL sure, you are so easily trolled that I often indulge.

Not a great look when you get owned and you post this irrelevance. Only the pleasure I get showing how dumb you are compels me.

I mean, I guess KD owns Richard Jefferson too, look at how RJ is compelled to discuss him

And he's getting a free pass how?

 

[GNG]

He’s like 1-11 shooting and a lot of bench sitting.

He's only taken 11 shots. That's hardly getting warmed up.

could be a little controversial, I guess, but thought it was a very well written article.....

Here's the thing about KD and the Warriors:

You can absolutely criticize KD for wanting to go play for the Warriors. Even if I disagree, it's completely valid based on your opinion of him wanting to compete.

But it's absolutely ridiculous for anyone, former players included, for criticizing an organization for wanting to get better. Hell even if they won the 2016 Championship the Warriors for sure should have still gone after KD if they thought they had a shot at him.

It's the organizations goal to be as good as possible, for as long as possible. That's literally the objective of a franchise (other than printing money). Players have different goals, of which you can dissect at your leisure. But LOL at RJ for that though.

He made excellent points and showed a real clarity on his perspective. Thought it was very good.

Love RJ and hope he becomes the Cavs color commentator (but think he'll have a national gig). I agree with you...his comments should be more directed at KD. Not GS.
