Not even going to get into double standards, but anybody with a little foresight could see what he was going to do from a mile away:

Dude is a compulsive excuse maker who will not hesitate to throw his kids' teammates, coaching staff or anyone else under the bus. It's everybody's fault except their own.

I guess that's what I really can't stand, it's not necessarily the person, but the action itself.

2014 Spurs?

2000 Blazers came damn close too.


Both those teams barely had one all-star and even that one guy was borderline.
2014 had Tim Duncan who was still one of the most productive bigs in the NBA by his impact alone. Leonard was in the top 20 in terms of overall impact. Their dominance as a team limited the PT of all of the players and that team to this day by all analytics is one of the 3 greatest teams in NBA history. Not a good comparison. This team was one of the most DOMINANT teams in NBA history.

The Spurs had a deep roster, with no player averaging 30 minutes during the regular season. Their offense relied on ball movement, being called "one of the most beautiful-to-watch teams in the NBA" by USA Today.[1]

This was the San Antonio Spurs's sixth appearance in the NBA Finals, and they headed to the postseason with the best record in the NBA and a franchise record 19-game winning streak, ending with a 22–4 run their last games. In the first round, they faced their Texas rivals, the Dallas Mavericks, who surprised the Spurs by taking the series to seven games despite the Spurs sweeping the Mavericks in the regular season for 2 consecutive years. San Antonio won 4–3. In the Conference Semifinals, they eliminated the Portland Trail Blazers and won 4–1. In their third consecutive Conference Finals, they eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder and won the series 4–2, despite being swept by Oklahoma City in the regular season, and for the first time, they qualified for back-to-back Finals appearances.

That Blazers team couldn't even beat an average supporting cast with a weak bench Lakers with Shaq and Kobe. That just proves my point.

An anomaly is a bug in the system, not the status quo.

This is more truthful than saying what he is saying lacks merit. What he is saying has merit regardless if you like it or not. But his reasoning is the question. It comes off as excuses. The bottom line was that uptempo pace and offense was no where to be found v. Kentucky.

There was a thread in TLR the other day asking "What's worst--Bed bucking or bed wenching"---or something to that effect.


But I chose wenching because women normally submit to the ideology of their man.Normally she has to be incorporated into his world.


I've known plenty brothers like Lavar Ball.Talk mad shyt about white folks, but had a white woman at home.

Black men have a different mentality.They feel like they can fukk white women and still produce black children.

White dudes can't go there.They knock up a black woman, most of the world might perceive their child as black.

Im just saying.When it comes to interracial relationships, black men don't have to give as much.They can remain dominant

and true to who they are.Black women have to give more, modify, adapt.

Excuse me for going there in the sports section:hubie:

Real Spill tho.

Their dominance as a team limited the PT of all of the players and that team to this day by all analytics is one of the 3 greatest teams in NBA history. Not a good comparison. This team was one of the most DOMINANT teams in NBA history.

Ah, get off that bullshyt, no one had Kawhi as a top-20 player back in 2014. He averaged 12.8ppg that year and hardly handled the ball. I mean, damn, he didn't even play 2000 minutes that season - there were 137 guys in the NBA that played more minutes that Kawhi that year.

And Duncan was arguably the best player on the team, but he was NOT a superstar.

The fact that that team was so dominant PROVES my point. No way in hell you're calling 37-year-old Duncan, 31-years-and-fading TP, or 22-years-and-raw Kawhi NBA "superstars". Yet they were a dominant team. Because the bench was so damn stacked with Belinelli, Green, Splittler, Diaw, and 36-year-old Ginobli? Come on now. You have to admit that the ensemble cast system can work, and can even work dominantly.



That Blazers team couldn't even beat an average supporting cast with a weak bench Lakers with Shaq and Kobe. That just proves my point.

They had a 15-point lead in the 4th quarter of Game 7. Have two more shots fall or two more calls go their way and they win that game. So obviously they COULD have beaten the Lakers, it just didn't happen.

Three teams built that way had a strong shot at a title in the last 17 years, and two of those three won it. That proves that it's a viable strategy. Yes, it's easier to have superstars, but without a superstar you can still win. For instance, let's say things worked out differently in Golden State, and they never got Durant and had a non-superstar point guard like Mike Conley instead of Curry. A Conley-Klay-Barnes-Draymond-Bogut Warriors team with Iggy/Ezeli/Livingston off the bench would still be a title threat. You can still win that way. Utah could put together a threatening team like that.
