    Celtics are dirty.  That girl Kelly is the worst.  He tore Love's shoulder on purpose two years ago.

    stepf curry? draymond?

    I'm tired of both of you posing motherfuckers.
    Draymond thinks he is a lot better than he actually is. he thinks he is better than Charles Barkley was. Barkley was a top 50 all time player. Draymond is 4th best on his own team.

    Dude can ball man.  Straight up.

    You could build around him.  He's a good leader.

    Draymond is no where near Barkley, but claiming he is 4th best on a super team is not fair. Put him on most teams and he becomes the top guy there. No he is not a guy that will put up 30, but he will play top 3 defense in the NBA and will do what is needed to win.

    I still can't believe that Lebron didn't get T'd up for trash talking after that play.  Never saw him do that before either.  He did send a message which I loved!

    He was sick of Draymond's BS, Klay's comment of 'hurt feelings', etc.  And for the media to try to anoint Curry as better than LBJ??  You've got to be kidding me.  After the stat line he put up in the Finals, there can be no question.  
    Now people are saying that Leonard is the best two way player in the league.  I call bullshit on that too.  The chase down block on Iggy was an all timer of a play.

    I'd agree with Kawhi statement.  Defensive all NBA team and All NBA team?  Yeah, he's good.  Really good.  I put Durant at #2 then Kawhi and Curry.

    Funny about people putting Curry above Lebron, you know why?  Fantasy points...  No shit.  Fantasy scoring points.  I had a "discussion" with an avid NBA fantasy team player and he was telling me why Curry was better than Lebron.  I told him he's nuts.  Put Lebron on any other team in basketball and they are an INSTANT contender.  Not so much the same for Curry.

    I also explained the little things that Lebron does that make him great and you can't measure that, you have to see it and know what you're looking at.

    You're right about the fantasy thing.  It misses so much of the snap passes, the jab steps, the fact that he scores on a fast break on an inbound PASS?  Are you kidding?  He just runs past everyone.  I saw another stat that his inside the restricted area shooting % is second only to Shaq.  
    Regarding the defense, Lebron was on the all defensive team 6x in a row during the heart of his career.  He just doesn't exert that type of energy in the reg season.  But watch him play free safety in the playoffs... creating double teams and then getting back.  He can cover anyone...  He's still just as good as Leonard on the defensive side, he just saves it for the playoffs.

    ^This statement is totally true.  I discussed this I think with you on here?  Someone was stating how good the Celts were and someone called them a "fraud" and I mentioned to check the heads up play against them.

    What the NBA does not want is the 82 game season to be medicore and ONLY about the playoffs, which is where it's headed but I still love regular season heroics.

    Lebron is focused on his legacy and place in history.  And he knows the regular season means jack in the grand scheme of things.  He's been conditioning himself again for this run, and win or lose the title, I think he'll be the best player on the court at all times.  The NBA has a problem, to some extent.  But the supposed "golden age" of basketball had the same situation.  Celtics in the 50's, Celts and Lakers in the 80's, Bulls in the 90's.  The period that are reflected upon reverentially were marked by dominate teams and a lack of parity.

    And it was me that called the Celtics a fraud.  They may get by Washington still because the Wiz have an atrocious bench.  But how the hell do you give up runs like the Celtics do??  It's because they can't really score when it comes down to it.  My only fear is they go all thuggery against the Wizards (if they get smoked in game 6) or against the Cavs when the talent disparity is on full display.  It's the only thing they have in their bag once you get past Thomas.  No one will every convince me that the play on Love wasn't intentional.  I'm not saying he intended to dislocate his shoulder specifically, rather the move was a non-basketball move and intended to hurt Love in some way.
