So steph basically *cough cough* needed moar halp *cough cough*

I thought there was a groundbreaking bisexual agreement reached between Bronsexuals and BiStephuals last week? The consensus was that Bron had the deck stacked against him in 2015 without the presence of the team’s second and third best player which was a deciding factor in his 2015 Finals loss. Similarly, Steph had the deck stacked against him in 2019 without the team’s best and third best player, along with Steph’s less than stellar play, were deciding factors in his 2019 Finals loss. It was really touching seeing both sides reach across the court to come to this conclusion.

Heck they could have won if Klay didn’t get hurt

Things might've turned out very different had the Warriors had Klay for the Warriors' final play of game 6 alone.

Pierce

At what point did folks turn on Pierce? Was it prior to Draymond flaming his “farewell tour” or after? He seems to get heat similar to what D-Wade is getting now but I can’t pinpoint what ignited the turn like I can with Flash.

His work as an “analyst” is what turned a lot of people on him.

I think his "analyst" work is pure unintentional comedy :lol:

Should of been when he was carried off the floor and wheelchaired to the locker room only to run back onto the court

Not sure, but my dude could hoop :pimp:

He was pretty good at everything. He was still having big moments at 37 years old on that 2015 Wizards team that was solid. He was like their #3 guy :lol:

I’ll give you that. Swept Toronto that year and lost in six to that 60-win ATL team whose greatest accomplishment was having the best month in NBA history during January 2015 :hat

If any of you are drinking today, please pour one out for ryanjumpman420.

People keep bringing this up, but they barely mention Lebron playing without Kyrie (Played in Game 1) and Kevin Love in the 2015 Finals.

He won two games against a stacked Warriors team (67 wins) playing alongside Thompson, Mozgov, Shumpert, Delladova, and JR. And he came back from a 3-1 deficit the year after.

I was happy to see Lebron loose in 2015 and 2017, but Curry would've been swept if he had to switch rosters with Lebron.

Went to that Game 6 for my birthday. Truth hit the 3 to tie but it didn't end up counting.

He used up all those big moments in DC. His most significant contribution as a Clipper was being involved in the DeAndre Jordan hostage situation.

I think we're approaching the point of no return.

Even if they resume this season, the season after will be lost or at least condensed.

Either we lose this season or the NBA won't be normal for 2 years

Here’s my last ditch effort idea to save the current season

20-21 preseason = remainder of the 19-20 season

proposed single elimination tournament = condensed 2020 NBA Playoffs

Doesn’t take away the fact that he was a GREAT hooper! A lot of people hate PP because he got the physique of a crossing guard, average athleticism but GAVE it to opponents every night. The man was a beast. People got selective memory right now.

Lowkey liken to Steph besides being 6’6”. People were like, how this poo putt, average looking dude hoop so good?!?!?

While he was on the Wizards is where I saw an uptick in hate for him. Then when he became an analyst it got worse.
