**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Vincent Van Goat]

Who only understands greatness through Kobe?

MVP is clowned for being a stan (rightfully so) but dudes like @Based Jesus and Jumpman are just as obsessed. They're just the other extreme. There's nothing unbiased about them.

I don't know, they might know who they are. The bigger point is that Curry has had an exceptional playoff career. He's having a poor series right now for sure, but certain folks have jumped through hoops to claim there's a "Playoff Curry" or that throughout his career "he's been average in the playoffs"

Philly might be the favorite to come out of the east now, if they continue to fire on all cylinders. If they win today, series is over.

The Celtics living rent free in their heads

Iguodala in the 2014-15 playoffs

8 ppg 44/32/50 splits

In the finals when the Cavs had to double inverse lightskin shaq

16 ppg 52/40/36

 

[shotsrangout]

Aye,

Serious question .

Why are we discussing Kobe?

Same reason dudes bring up lebron when lebron hasn’t been relevant since like December

I wouldn't say he's been average but by his standard he's had way too many ghost games. He'll have a great game 1 then vanish for 2 games.

Curry’s Stats this Series:

18-4-4 on 35/25/85

Someone please explain. Getting outplayed by CP3

 

[3god]

So because I am saying KD will never be in consideration of Best player of all time means I am biased against him?

It is good to know the only way to speak "negatively" (not really) about a player is to possess bias against them.

Makes perfect sense

False. You can speak your mind and I will respect it and we can discuss, but to qualify based on being from the same area as him is absurd.

 

[MVP]

I wouldn't say he's been average but by his standard he's had way too many ghost games. He'll have a great game 1 then vanish for 2 games.

Not only that it's almost always in critical and glaring moments ie 2016 finals or game 3 last year where he went 3-16. He's prone to have some real stinkers.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Nah I think he’s just accepted the fact KD is BETTER THAN HIM

I am sure he has always known this

 

[jab step]

Anti-Harden crew gets to brush aside how great Harden was last night by slandering Curry.

I see right through this.

 

[nick.]

Can we talk about Draymond for a minute? He's been Golden State's second best player these playoffs.

 

[D_eezus]

steph made the ultimate sacrifice in nba history. the most unselfish teammate
multiple mvps and chips and still no ego

Steph has also been in foul trouble most if not all of the games this series. Hard to get going if you on the bench

 

[DCAllAfrican]

False. You can speak your mind and I will respect it and we can discuss, but to qualify based on being from the same area as him is absurd.

But you made the assumption that I am somehow biased against KD.

Why on earth would you come to that conclusion? Because I said he will never be in the conversation for best in the history of the game

EYE support all players from my area. Check my posting history, I am sure I bring up the fact that a playwr IS from my area more than anyone else does with their hometown other than maybe @wavycrocket and his BMORE mob.

We can cherry pick awful games from all the goats resumes. Name someone and I’ll dig up an awful game

We can cherry pick awful games from all the goats resumes. Name someone and I’ll dig up an awful game

This facts gets lost so often. Whenever we talk about someone choking, not coming through in big moments, we forget this. There's a fine line between choking and just having a bad game.

I remember on here I did this with Harden. He's known as a Choker, but we completely ignore how he ended the Spurs in 2012, how he closed the Clippers out coming back from 3-1 in games 5 and 7 both elimination games, what he did last night w/the season on the line etc.

same thing goes for CP3. Game 7 against the Spurs, game 7 against golden state, like...we just ignore the great moments they've had for the sake of narrative which is fine, I get it. The salacious, down moments are more entertaining. But people actually believe this stuff

Can you stop using logic so these dudes can continue spewing nonsense that can be bumped in 3 years.

Please

That's the thing. Other goats have been picked and turn apart. Now it's Steph's turn and his fans don't like it. We keeping the same standard, can't move the goal post cuz you like somebody.

Willing to bet any amount of money that Rockets lose game 4

Steph Curry

 

[Tony $now]

Keep this same energy after the Steph and W’s do what needs to be done. Don’t want to hear about “they are supposed to win” “5 all stars” etc. Steph been trash this series. That’s a Fact. He will respond. #RevengeTourContinues #NewDatesJustGotAdded #GetYoMerch

 

[HIM]

There’s an awesome world where Kevin Love and Kyrie stay healthy and win the 2015 finals, too.

Name someone defending Steph for that trash last night. Or the bad game 3s the past two finals. Or the 2015 finals when he was bad

We don’t. He was bad. He needs to be better

2017?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

That's the thing. Other goats have been picked and turn apart. Now it's Steph's turn and his fans don't like it. We keeping the same standard, can't move the goal post cuz you like somebody.

But honestly, isn't there always pushback from the fans of a player, after bad games when people are killing that player?

That is just typical.

Steph fans aren't doing anything differently
