Dallas playing great, LA playing a little better. Hoping this isn’t a blowout, seen enough of those today

Rough day for sure

I never said he played well but playing shitty doesn't always=choke

The definition of choke isn't playing poorly which is clearly what you think it means.

The choke word is thrown around on here way too frequently

Is he saying Kyrie choked the year after he won the championship with a series winning shot?

That would be several years later

Boston made the ECF in 18 without kyrie was his point

Just saying you don’t call a guy a choker that hit a dagger to win a title.

What the hell, man? Everyone of these games today have been blowouts. At least Miami/NO was competitive for awhile as was Bos/Brooklyn.

Speaking of Brooklyn, they flipped that mid 10s Warriors switch at the end of the game. You know, the one where it looks like its a game, you blink and its a 25 point lead. This league, at the very least the East, is in trouble.

First you claimed Delly was a better fit for the cavs, and they would be worse off with Kyrie because he wasn't as good defensively. Then you claimed love was the better fit with Lebron over Kyrie. Now you claimed Kyrie and Durant won't work and Kyrie looks great with Durant....Anything else you want to get wrong about Kyrie?

Meanwhile you knocked Kyrie for the Cavs team when he was young only winning 24 games, meanwhile Curry has a better overall team then Kyrie had back then and it looks like he may not win a game all season lol

Nope.

You are totally making shit up.

I have been 100% right about Kyrie. If he changes who he is and starts fitting in to a team concept now, that doesn’t make me wrong about who he has been in the past.

And many here were saying Kyrie and KD won’t work. I expressed doubts, but said multiple times that I wasn’t going to rule them out either like many others have.

And LOL at you taking victory laps after game 2 of the regular season.

The NBA needs to get rid of foul shots. It's so boring. They all line up and then it slows down the game. Plus they call too many fouls in general. No blood no foul imo

This is why nobody takes you seriously.

 

[tlance]

It's 2 games actually. I respect KD. He chose to leave his easy way out to prove himself. It also exposed Curry, although the endless excuses for why he can't even lead his team to the playoffs will probably keep rolling in from the "coach"

Again, you are an idiot.

I have tried to explain this to you like 9 million times.

Curry is not LeBron. Never was. The Warrior success was always about their 3 stars teaming to be more than the sum of the parts. It was never about Curry “carrying them”. I have never expected him to be able to carry a contending team. In fact, I have pretty clearly said the opposite many times.

And, you are assuming they will miss the playoffs after 2 road games against 2 of the top East teams?

Cmon man.

Hope y'all had a good day yesterday.

Hoping to watch some sports while the woman and daughter do some after Christmas shopping for some alleged sales.

Maybe a slight exaggeration. But it sure feels like it.

With all the times he tried to rehash Kyrie and Love missing the Finals and said it would be be the same as Klay and Dray missing for the Dubs.

And I always responded the same way. Not close to the same because GS relied on all 3 close to equally. It was always LBJ driving the ship in Cleveland and he COULD carry a team.

Sooooo, instead of foul shots there should be what?
