No offense, but you guys are so brainwashed by the media, it's pathetic. You made so much of the veteran leadership from last season, only because the media did. If they won 54 games because of the vets, what happened when Swish's knee went out? They struggled. What happened when Kidd could no longer hit a shot (let alone all those 3's he was raining)? They struggled. What happened when Swish got healthy and the vets weren't around? They thrived. Did y'all follow the media when they said NY was too old all season long? Or, did you just follow them when they switched it up on you? They used the vets to insult your team. The way they played it, the vets were only a help when you no longer had them. When you had them, they were too old, but when you didn't have them, it was the reason you struggled. Y'all really need to get minds of your own.
If the media says 'Melo is trash, that's what you believe and that's how you treat him. You claim Durant can be the leader on a championship team, even though he's been on stacked teams and can't win, get's punked by players half his size (Tony Allen, CP3), becomes a colossal chucker, missed the Playoffs more times than 'Melo, one of which was with RW, etc. But you claim 'Melo can't win being the leader on a championship team, when he's never been on one
. You say this only because the media says it
. 'Melo has done more with less than Lj and Durant ever had. If he can win 54 games with the AARP club, go to the WCF with old Billups, what was the worst b-ball of all time (the old J.R.), with the rest of the team not even knowing what offense is, I'm sure he can lead Wade and Bosh to more than 2 of 4 ch'ips, not get punked by Kawhi and his old team, not get punked by players half his size like Lj did in the 2011 finals (Kidd, Terry, Barea), not get swept by the AARP club like Lj did in '07, not disappear in most quarters like Lj did in this season's Finals (click
here to read about it), performing like trash in 4 of 5 Finals, even on stacked teams and missing the Playoffs more times than 'Melo (2 years in a row) in a weak East etc. You've actually seen the sorry showing from others players on stacked teams, but you
still worship them. You haven't even seen what 'Melo can do on a stacked team, but you
still belittle him, all because the media tells you what to think and how to feel.
You worship other franchises only because the media tells you it's tragic that NY ain't won in over 40 years. It's funny how I never hear about how the Clips have never won and was trash for their entire existence, with the exception of the last 5 years, if that, and they got all that money. NY has had more good teams than they have. You worship Miami because they got rings recently but they only got 1 more than NY. That means they still were losing for decades at a time, just like NY. It's funny how I never hear about how Cleveland ain't never won and Lj couldn't help them and y'all worship him because he went runnin' to a stacked team and to Wade to save him and he still couldn't perform at a high level in the Finals for most of his trips there.
