Do you guys think montalban finally overdosed on bleach and glue huffing or is he just in a coma after reading how dumb he was?

Nah hes due for a “welll i just had to laigh” racist post soon

So, I was in traffic behind Kyrie earlier today:

I don’t think effort is ever wasted

@Wamu

Chuck just jinxed you by picking the Celtics to win.

Sorry bud.

 

[Montalban]

Yes it does. If you win that game you are in and you dont even have to play the do or die game. How is this so hard for you to comprehend?

Its easy. But since it isn't going to happen, I'm saying it doesn't matter because they only have to win game 2 to get in. No way this injured Warriors team beats the Lakers in their house. They'll lock down Curry with someone like Schroeder and make the other guys try to beat them.

 

[Montalban]

If the 7 or 8 seed needs one win in two games then your prescribed strategy is nothing short of short bus level retarded. The advantage is that you need one win in two games. You’re willingly giving up the built in advantage by lobbying to not even compete in the first of two games.

But also, how are you an NBA fan when it’s clear on the PF that you low key hate black people?

Don't be a fool. If that is what you took from my posts then you might want to consider a reading comprehension course

It is when it doesn't produce wins.

Did he "GUAAAAAAROWNTEE" It?

Kind of a misnomer really, Westbrooks team has won 138 of his 183 triple doubles.

He most certainly did.

And he also picked Charlotte earlier...

How many of those wins resulted in rings?

Well I guess a lot of guys were fn worthless then.

Oh shit.

Yeah, sorry @Wamu your C's are fucked.

His problem is, he thinks he's a number 1 and he's not.

So, much of his effort ends up being wasted on him trying to do everything. Basically, he tries to play like Lebron, but he doesn't really know how to control a game and when to back off and let his teammates play.

Westbrook works harder than anyone in the league, but he doesn't work smart which is why his effort is so often wasted.

Watching him play, I keep wanting Foghorn Leghorn to appear and tell him: "You're doing a lot of chopping son. But no chips are flying".

He still reverts a little but he has reeled that in quite a bit this season. He had to quit shooting 3s and he has cut back. Plus I believe he played the 2nd most minutes in the league, in this day and time big respect for that.

He and Beal have definitely figured out how to play together better than probably any other teammate he's had. But he still chases triple doubles like he'd rather get that than a win. If Westbrook could defer and be a number 2, he could probably win a title, but I don't think he can bring himself to do that.

That’s the old argument for sure, but he has been different this season. No they aren’t going to win, but let’s not act like he couldn’t have gone to a Pat situation like others have and won. That’s why I will always say Durants titles don’t amount to much. He as much as admitted it by leaving.

Old and lame argument if you ask me. As Russ always say, if triple doubles were so easy to do then why don't we see other players getting them more frequently? Also let's say he was chasing triple doubles? Who cares? It helps the team. If you have a guard grabbing rebounds like a center then it limit the # of offensive rebounds for your opponent. As for assist, I'll never have an issue with a player creating easy buckets for his teammates

You are preaching to the choir, I think going 138-45 in games where he got a triple double says they are worth something. 2nd most minutes in the league is impressive as well.
