I was tryingtk go back to the day when the Coch nick Steph Elite Defender video was posted and came across this post by @a-friend regarding Roberson's defense :rofl:

There is no narrative that he's an elite defender :lol:
Erupt been trolling off that Coach Nick vid for too long :lol:

folks conflating the argument about steph's defense vs. bron's defense from a few seasons ago with this notion of him being touted as "elite"

he's not elite but steph is a better on-ball defender than folks give him credit for. but the first two games of the series, he's been reaching in, trynna poke the ball too much against paul instead of working to beat him to a spot.
 
I seen a lot of takes on the game last night about why GS lost.
Going off the expression “the best team always wins a best of 7”

Can an unbiased basketball fan really make a claim that top to bottom GS is better than Houston?

Even with Harden playing 1 against 5/KD and Klay on Fire/GS having low turnovers in game one- it was tied at half and only a 6 point game late in the fourth

Rockets are just the better team.

Once you get passed the KD and Curry are Gods conversation the other 10 players are suspect


If the Rockets are the better team, then why are y’all crying about KD joining the warriors and how it was unfair in game 1 :lol

I mean when you are comparing the two, its like comparing two dogs with 3 legs trying to win a race. Both are steamy garbage as one on one defenders.

If the Rockets are the better team, then why are y’all crying about KD joining the warriors and how it was unfair in game 1 :lol:

:lol:Two days ago people were crying about how unfair the warriors are and how KD is a bigger ***** than Lebron for what he did.

Either way, im here for the slander. This is fantastic.

Yeah, I will never equate 'elite defender' with Steph. He's average. Players like Kyrie, Harden, Russ, etc. Will exploit him.
 
Bummed the Warriors lost. Concerned about the health of Steph. He's looked frustrated on the court and defense has been TERRIBLE.

There was a play in last night's game where Steph was guarding the backdoor cut, but Steph never turned around to see Ariza open for the dunk. That was frustrating.

Still believe the Warriors will win the series.
 
Not even sure why you still defend yourself/your team about this. :lol: :lol: :lol: - Dudes think because THEY put an * next to KD's name/ring, it matters. Nah, it doesn't matter. They won, end of story.

My post really had nothing to do w/ KD.

I was just pointing out GS's shakiness against LBJ before his arrival.

They were clearly scared of him just like OKC KD was.

Which is exactly why KD went from "what happened to going at these people's" to joining a 73 win team.

A team that you had on the ropes 3-1 but couldn't close it out when you're "1a/1b" with LBJ.

Alrighty then.
 
Speaking of the European D Rose..he been balling overseas, needs to come back to the NBA n give it another shot :pimp:
I had hopes for him, but it's good to see him still killing it in Europe.

Totally forgot the Ekpe Udoh was back in the league...He should've stayed in Europe. Dude was beasting out there lol.

you don't really believe what you just typed do you? they beat them in the finals the year prior and had a 3-1 lead prior to a catastrophic failure.

yet the warriors pre-KD were scared of bron and the cavs
