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

[friscostylez]

lol bron and KD are both **** for leaving their team. KD is just the bigger one. i find it funny when people try to justify why bron left and slander KD for leaving.

There are definitely levels to what they did.

Not sure why LeBron has to be a *****.

But KD, I can understand why anyone calls him one.

He essentially is a 3rd grader that got his *** whooped by a bully and decided to join dude's crew. And now he is talking **** to everyone else?

Come on. KD still has my support though. They will be fun to watch

bottom line: Lebron left his team, which won 60+ games the last two years, to form a team with a top 5 player and another top 15ish player in the Leastern Conference. do you guys forget how weak the East used to be?

People were constantly talking about how kd would/should leave because of things like letting harden walk and keeping guys like perkins and Brooks around. They made plenty of bad decisions, finally got rid of Brooks and made a decent run but it was too late and the damage was already done. Had he left the first time instead of signing an extension nobody would fault him

people always forget to mention this. they just don't like the fact that he left for the GSW.

Nobody knocks him for LEAVING

People knock him for going to GSW at the time in which he went there

when the team was healthy dudes were in the western conference finals..

hell, if not for a ibaka getting hurt right before the western conference finals they had a good shot vs the spurs the year the beat the heat (they did win 2 games)

I mean hell, they lost to the eventual champion like 4 or 5 times

And you don't see how there is a distinct difference between what KD did and what LeBronze did?

Hold on, did anyone see Alan Williams' flop after the baby elbow Henry Sims threw at him.

That joint was Baron Davis/Okur level bad man

I still can't get over Okur helping him up after the flop.

Bobby Brown has to get cut for what he did right?

So if KD goes to Boston, no slander? Correct?

Just making sure....

I have no issues with him leaving. Even to the W's

That would've been perfectly acceptable, that's a fledgling squad. GSW already won a title and choked away another

No slander going to BOS.

Like Jalen said, they were probably in the OKC locker room after they lost game 7 to GSW saying, "Man we got those dudes next year. Etc......." ~ And then he goes THERE?

Like, how can anyone defend that

dude could do whatever he wants.. he's the one who continues to talk about shhh.. he's the one who seems to have issues with his own decision

russ was being very blunt with his response

After blowing a 3-1 lead to the cavs?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

It isn't even about GSW already winning without him.

It is about the team he was JUST on LOSING to GSW and him going there.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

After blowing a 3-1 lead to the cavs?

That had nothing to do with HIM.

He is just using that as a cop-out excuse as to why GSW "needed" him.

Combo of both IMO

So soft.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

So soft.

He wants to win a ring. I don't blame him for going there. THAT doesn't make him soft for wanting to be in the best possible scenario.

When he retires ringless, the media will make sly comments either way. Get the ring.

What is SOFT is getting beat by someone and then joining them

 

[IATT]

personally, I just think it's bish made to go to a team with not only 3 all stars, but 3 all nba dudes already in place.. a team that just broke the record for all time wins

again, personally, that is the definition of bandwagon jumping

they won a title the year before.. then won 73 games..

if someone switched their fandom to the warriors right now, everyone in this thread would clown the hell out of them and call them for exactly what they were doing 'jumping on a bandwagon'

i didn't say that. like you said, there's level to this ish but don't defend bron and then slander KD.

we gonna act like bron didn't jump ship TWICE to a team with more potential.

Your statement is contradictory

You see how they are different

Yet

You say I can't bash one and not the other

Right.

Joining them is bad in itself, the fact that he just got beat by them makes it even worse.

 

[yung16]

So if KD would have went to the cavs would he still be a b*%*^? lol

 

[DCAllAfrican]

we gonna act like bron didn't jump ship TWICE to a team with more potential.

If you aren't jumping ship to a team with more potential, why the hell are you jumping? Lol

not at all. i think both are similar enough or similar level where you can bash one and not the other. try again.

 

[friscostylez]

we gonna act like bron didn't jump ship TWICE to a team with more potential.

If you aren't jumping ship to a team with more potential, why the hell are you jumping? Lol

so why slander KD for leaving? Lol

 

[yung16]

If you aren't jumping ship to a team with more potential, why the hell are you jumping? Lol

I dont get it. I am not going to play this game at the highest level to lose. Im sorry. Im not rebuilding, im not trying to make moves and get better no i did that for 8 years I want to win and while I am a free agent I am going to make the best move to win. I dont see how people can hate that.

 

[Trey Bantz]

So if KD would have went to the cavs would he still be a b*%*^? lol

Of course, joining LeBron and the champs is weak.
