Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[modelsandpizza]

Russ had KD, Serge, and Harden and reached the Finals

Steph had Klay, Dray, and Iguodala and reached the Finals

Definition of splitting hairs?

Idk man.. it's hard for me personally to say who's "better" between Russ and Steph. Until I see Steph on a team without three all nba players and still lead them to the playoffs I can't say who's better lol

You weren't alive in 2012-2014?

David Lee made all nba dat year famb. He did his thing in 14 but lost first round. I like both just would like to see the roles switched... that would really help settle the debate.

Plus Barnes, Plus Bogut, and s deep bench

 

[tekthemaestro]

They're a lottery team without, the narrative is correct

its really not. kanter and oladipo and adams are very good players. adams is in a slump, but u cant forget his entire career in lieu of the past 3 months. oladipo is a solid player as well. kanter is a scoring big man which already puts him in a very exclusive club. gibson isnt a scrub either.

okc is in 6th place with russ. theyd prolly sit in 9th or 10th without him. not lottery.

You mean WON the finals .

2015 Klay or Dray aren't even the COMBINED level of Kevin ***** Durant

It's just funny to me how last year when Steph was having a all time season it was "He's passed Lebron!". Now Harden and Russ are having all time seasons and it's "But Steph is still better".

I like PJ Tucker but he's feeling himself after he got traded for a first round pick

A lot more people know who Lance Stephenson is than PJ Tucker

PJ deep in his bag.

 

[nick.]

Norman Powell threw down a windmill dunk with the clock running down in a blowout earlier this year

youre confusing individual success with team success.

Lance didn't want them problems doe...

PJ is a wild boy

I'm confident most of these cats just started watching ball last season

Wasn't everybody, definitely wasn't me. Always said Steph was the second best player last year like he still is imo

Lance a Brooklyn cat. I don't think you know wild...

Right....and proceeded to play at total of 10pmg in the playoffs and 6 games.....while Steph was LEADING Carl Landry and Jermaine O'Neal frontcourt to an upset on the 3seed.....and pushing the 2013 Spurs to the brink

So Steph passed Lebron cuz his team won 73 games?

 

[geno90221]

Lance is slow (mentally) PJ would have given him the works

 

[MVP]

Harden should have won in 15. Russ should win this year, it's that simple.

 

[Proposition Joe]

It's a shame that Stephs greatness still isn't universally recognized on NT.

What? So You gon ignore that huge curry slurp thread where everyone was saying he the best in the league and passed lebron?

This is also funny to me.

Because prior to June 2015, nobody would have said this. There's this narrative out there that the Golden State Warriors were "stacked" prior to KD's arrival. When they quite literally were considered an "up and coming team" that had just got tossed in the first round in 2014.  It's like people forget that Curry was a 7th pick who extremely exceed expectation, Klay was a late lottery pick who extremely exceeded expectation, and Draymond was a 2nd round pick. He wasn't even a lock to have a roster spot going into his career. They collectively exceed expectation...and suddenly they're this "stacked" team who only win because everyone is good.

It's like if the Utah Jazz suddenly became a 1 seed next year and won the championship...and people start pretending like they should have because they were stacked.

Revisionist history is something else.
