2013-2014 NBA Season Thread - Congrats to the Spurs, DBD is still a buster

[MIKE LOWERY]

Wake up on a Saturday morning after another finals birth and the usual suspects doing their song and dance to discredit the champs. Typical

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

That CP3 trade to LA was like Harry Dunn selling the dead bird to the blind kid.

Exactly!

Lakers would've dumped an overpaid Pau going downhill as well as Odom and getting back CP3
N.O. Was in disarray and we're desperately trying reaching for anything.

Denver and Utah have laid down the blueprint on how to trade your disgruntled superstar

 

[offset pow clow]

People only giving dirk praise because he got revenge on d wade & he stopped lebron "the villian" from getting his ring, but we all know that was a cinderella playoff run, you sweep the defending champs on phils last season, we already knew how dallas season was gonna finish after that, their confidence was on a different level after that series

 

[Peep Game]

Well, he (Dirk) did win a championship by carrying a bunch of role players.  In reality.  

If people can say Mike Miller, Shane Battier and Ray Allen "rescued" Lebron, then you can very well say that Tyson Chandler, Jason Terry, and other guys (Barea or Marion I guess) did the same. People continue to bend argues by lowballing 1 team/player to prop up another. I would think after 3 years it would be different. Nobody does anything by themselves, no matter what stats you dig up or how convenient goal posts can get moved.

 

[cali j 360]

Dirk was a G before that ring playboy..

 

[blastercombo]

Meh, I'll give it up to dirk. He beat bron, healthy wade, and bosh, and I hate mark Cuban and the mavs 100%

So what did the hornets get instead from the clips?

A rising star in al farooq aminu?

 

[flyerthandelta]

exactly. lebrons disciples prop him up by talking **** about the people who helped him win two championships.


pushing the narrative that lebron is carrying bums is a real thing. he didn't join them for no reason. Anyones numbers would drop playing with him. it's be design since he always has the ball and just wants to be surrounded by 3 pt shooters

Wade now has the ability to coast when he wants to rest, and Bosh has made a huge sacrifice in terms of shots and usage time.  To the church of Bron that means they suck and are now Mo Williams and Anderson Varejao.

Sure buddy

Well, he (Dirk) did win a championship by carrying a bunch of role players.  In reality.  

Shot 9-27 in game 6 against Miami. Shot 6-19 in game 4 against Miami. Shot 7-21 in game 3 vs. OKC. All Dallas wins.

He didn't have to worry about slowing down the other's team's best big due to Tyson & he had Marion on the perimeter to slow down Kobe, Durant, & Lebron, 3 of the greatest scorers in the history of the league.

Jet had a team-high 27 in the clinching Finals game. Had 6 points & 2 assists in the last 3 minutes of game 5 to seal that W, including a dagger 3 over Lebron.

The use of the word "Carrying" is comical.

 

[lamekilla]

All I'm saying is the last time bron played a player in the finals with as much drive as him to win the 'ship, he and his team lost.

Bron ain't prove nothing till we get a 24 vs 23/6 finals. Till then Kobe is still the greatest of the past 10 years

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

They got an unhappy Eric Gordon, the future #1 pick in Anthony Davis, and the relief of not being attached to Pau's horrendous contract or Lamar's crackhead @šs

 

[JD617]

Yeah, KD and Westbrook just didn't have enough drive. That's what the problem was.

 

[cashbanks]

Dirk did it by himself my *** that mavericks team was balling and Carlisle coached his *** off.

Stop being logical!! You know that's not allowed around these parts!

[MVP]

"Carrying" is comical.

You do know there's not just one series and not just the finals right? He carried them through the West that year 28,8,and 3 swept the defending champs and beat the Thunder and Blazers en route. He only dropped 40+ twice on OKC in the conference finals. His finals wasn't great shooting wise but he got MVP, led them in scoring 5 outta 6 games and was clutch down the stretch in those 4th quarters.

Interesting ppl talk about Bron carrying the Heat yet his finals numbers are considerably lower than his other playoff round series in beating up on the sorry East. Just interesting.

 

[awwsome]

Dudes really just be saying whatever.


Sounding like real life Skip Bayless.

Cant be a grown man typing this

 

[ill steelo]

Exactly This is why I try to stay away from these arguments.

In last year's playoff run, Lebron led the Heat in points, rebounds, assists, & steals. He didn't carry his team.

During the Mavs title run, Dirk only led the team in points. He did carry his team.

It's comical

 

[cashbanks]

Tim Duncan didnt have the drive to win a championship?

Seriously this is what dudes really believe?

He clearly didn't

Who thinks of these things, seriously?

You do know there's not just one series and not just the finals right?

And you do know there are two sides on the basketball court right?

Unless you considering "carrying" to mean that literally no one else on the team did anything, then yes, it is completely appropriate.  His second best player was Jason Terry.  Jason Terry, born in 1977.  His second best player.
