No shit Sherlock. That’s why is out 3 months instead of 3 weeks you moron

I mean if he sits out the last 2 weeks of the season or they give him the 2nd night if backs to backs off that’s fine. I just don’t know how you could justify sitting a perfectly healthy player out for 30 games or whatever it would be. That’s just being a coward

You were making fun of him for being out 3 months with a broken hand. Then, making fun of him again for sitting out after he returns (if that is what ends up happening).

Athletes don’t get surgery unless it is needed to correct an issue that might not heal properly in its own.

Curry’s hands are kind of important to him.

So to clarify, your position is that Curry is a pussy for getting surgery, then more of a pussy for potentially sitting down the stretch in a lost season for a tanking team when they have an opportunity to rest their top 3 studs who ALL have extreme wear and tear concerns after making the Finals 5 straight years. Meanwhile, you routinely make fun of teams like Miami for not tanking.

You have simply outdone yourself here. This is an all time low in terms of hypocrisy.

SIX WEEKS is the standard for a broken hand. 3 months is DOUBLE that-

if it turns into the whole season he should feel humiliated.

Again, it is not a standard broken hand.

It it were, he would not have needed surgery.

Alec Burks might be able to fetch a mid round first at the deadline if he stays healthy. What a fortuitous find for the Warriors.

No.

No he won’t.

Because the Warriors aren’t taking back a bad contract.

I would never praise any team for sitting out guys that are perfectly healthy. If they arent 100%? --- then take your time if the situation allows.

but to sit out guys for weeks on end that are perfectly healthy is just plain cowardice.

i didnt even get on LeBron too bad last year- becuasse its clear he was not 100% when he came back.

if you arent 100% and try and play through something andi ts just not working- then thats totally understandble

But you did.

Bookmarked.

You can bookmark all you want.

Alec Burks has been a replacement level player his entire career. 1 partial season of inflated statistical production in an opportunity vacuum with all of the Warriors top players injured is not netting the Warriors a first round pick.

But Burks has helped lead Golden State to a 2-8 record!

No again.

No faulty logic at all. Despite what you say.

You don’t have to have every skill to be a great player as long as you are great at the things you do. The same applies to head coaches. Phil didn’t need to be a great X and O guy to be a great head coach.

He was a great head coach regardless of what you care to believe.

And just because you don’t like my analogy doesn’t make it wrong.
You used a 7-2 center not making 3s in your analogy when much of the time he played there were no 3s.

Yes, you were wrong. and no, as I suspected you wont own your wrongness.

Carry on.

Seems like a lot of games for a sprained foot.
No disagreement from me. Though to be fair, does depend on level and type.

And, yes, if Cavs were a contender my guess is he'd have come back sooner

There is no point arguing with people who can't get passed their biases.

I hate certain players, teams.

Not enough to look like a hypocrite when discussing them.

Yep, I've never liked Lebron and outside of him being on the Lakers, was never really a fan of Kobe. But both are/were great players.

Hell, even with how good the Lakers have looked so far, @ChiefsLakers67 would probably be celebrating if the Lakers got rid of Lebron...but he still acknowledges that Lebron is a great player (even if he does so grudgingly lol).

Hell, i don't...

but watching his spins, tap-dancing, and lies IS fun to watch. it's amazing what some folks'll do for the tiniest crumb of validation...:lol:
No doubt. Imagine if someone said a team was as successful as another when they played for 3 less titles and were beat by that team 12 of 14 times in the playoffs in a 5 year span.
