Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[Mars]

@GIL,

and i've also said positive things about Kyrie....But you'll just say i'm being a phony........The problem is that you are a hateful,irrational poster....You posted comments I made without pointing out the circumstances and context of when/why they were made.

I said Kyrie "looks like a role player" at the end of the 3rd qt of his first game when he had only 10p/5a and was something like 4-11 from the floor.

I sarcasticly said "Kyrie was padding his stats", becuase it's what Lebron haters always say about him...I then posted the Lebron troll face after I made the comment to show I was just trolling.

Kyrie isn't the mvp imo,Harden is...two weeks ago I said Kyrie is a top 5 mvp candidate.....That's not hating on Kyrie.

I said J.Brown looks like boston's best player because there are times where he is bostons best player(GS game) kid is a legit best on defense,and continues to improve on offense.

And yeah,If Boston wins 60 games,and Kyrie wins mvp,why wouldn't Kyrie/Boston be the favorites over Lebron ?

Good lord the way this dude keep coming at Gil neck and exposing him

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

A. You posted an article claiming that Kyrie's defense was the key to Boston's success

I posted an article that was titled Kyrie's defense key in Boston's win over the Spurs - ONE game (not the entire season), nevermind the fact that the title was just used to grab the viewer - it NEVER said in the actual article that Kyrie was the Celtics defensive anchor/main reason for their success on defense (Kyrie Irving's defense key for Boston Celtics in win over San Antonio Spurs) - it was just a general view of how well he's been on defense (specifically in that Spurs game). I only posted that article to point out how good Kyrie's defense was up to that point, NEVER did I say that Kyrie was "driving the Celtics' success on defense". Never. Never. Never.

That is the very definition of - You take other people's arguments, ones I never said, and then try to take me down with guilt by association.

I already mentioned right around that Spurs game that if Horford continued to play defense like that, he should be in the conversation for DPOY.

A poster even tagged me over it -

I'm sure you'll like this @Gil Scott-Heroin you've been preaching about Al Horford's defense.

I want you to apologize for accusing me TWICE of something I NEVER said or insinuated about Kyrie's defense.

B. You dapped posts claiming that Kyrie was an elite defender

I dapped ONE post, which I already explained to you why I did when you questioned me over it -

I dapped him because he was recognizing Kyrie's defensive activity (which is A LOT more than you've done in this thread), I don't agree with everything in his post. But at least he's making the effort to recognize Kyrie's play this season, instead of just posting bullshyt like 'he's averaging less points, assists, and rebounds' this season.

You're in full damage control mode now. Even hopping into the NBA Observations thread to unnecessarily scoff at the idea of Kyrie being the most clutch scorer in the league; marginalizing his resume down to just ONE shot. It's certainly funny coming from someone who's constantly posting the same YT clips over and over, I guess your search engine only returns you results of "LeBron" with all the dikkriding you do.

Here I am clearly stating I don't agree with everything he said in his post, but I dapped it because he was making the effort to recognize Kyrie's defensive play. Especially since I just told you in this very thread that Kyrie wasn't an elite defender.

Again - You take other people's arguments, ones I never said, and then try to take me down with guilt by association.

I want another apology.

C. You quoted a poster claiming Kyrie would be 1st-team All-Defensive and added stats clearly meant to support his claim

Yeah, it was the Cavs system holding him back. Can't wait to see All-D First Team for Kyrie this year.

#1 in steals
#2 in ball deflections
#13 in loose ball recoveries
#1 in DRTG out of all guards (context******)

Meanwhile, the Cavs have the WORST defense in the league. I guess the Cavs system was holding Kyrie back after all.

Not only did you not get the argument right (it was actually a poster making a facetious comment about how he can't wait to see Kyrie make the 1st-team All-D), but I NEVER said or insinuated that he was gonna make the 1st-team All-D, as I specifically said in reply "I guess the Cavs system was holding him back".

Again, again - You take other people's arguments, ones I never said, and then try to take me down with guilt by association.

I want another apology.

I want THREE apologies before I even begin to address all your other bullshyt. Hand-written.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Good lord the way this dude keep coming at Gil neck and exposing him

This trolling was funny when you were doing it with CP3, it's getting corny now. You haven't even been following the discussion(s). Stay in your lane.

@G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman would you give up this year's 1st and mccall for a rest of the season rental and possibly resigning in the summer for Jah?

 

[levitate]

Are the Celtics for real?

Nah, can't see that one.......

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Oh, I got you there again.

How about right here where someone posts that Kyrie gonna be 1st-team All-Defensive, and you quote him with stats CLEARLY meant to insinuate that he got a case?
.

STEP YOUR READING COMPREHENSION GAME UP

Read carefully (if you're having trouble identifying @Wiirdo's tone, look at the previous posts) -

Funny how PGs are still killin' the Cavs (most of which have been average or rotational PGs), and Kyrie is no longer on the team. Looks like you'll have to find another scapegoat for LeBron - perhaps the one who played PG tonight.

Yeah, it was the Cavs system holding him back. Can't wait to see All-D First Team for Kyrie this year.

#1 in steals
#2 in ball deflections
#13 in loose ball recoveries
#1 in DRTG out of all guards (context******)

Meanwhile, the Cavs have the WORST defense in the league. I guess the Cavs system was holding Kyrie back after all.

How can you fukk this up?



This shyt is bad, even for you.

How about right here where you quote the full text of an article which claims that Kyrie's defense was the key to Boston's early-season success?
.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR READING COMPREHENSION? READ THE DAMN ARTICLE PROPERLY.

How about right here when you dapped a comment which said nothing other than that Kyrie's elite defense was driving Boston's success?

.

You didn't even link the right post. Here let me do it for you -

You my dude, but that's incorrect. Kyrie leads the entire league in steals(2.4 per game) and has the 9th BEST defensive rating (93.8) in the entire NBA right now.

His defensive play is every bit driving Boston's success so far. Is it sustainable who knows? But as of now, he's playing defense at an ELITE level.

So for the first time in his career he's actually looking like a 2-way player who's impact on the game isn't just offensive.

I then posted -

I dapped him because he was recognizing Kyrie's defensive activity (which is A LOT more than you've done in this thread), I don't agree with everything in his post. But at least he's making the effort to recognize Kyrie's play this season, instead of just posting bullshyt like 'he's averaging less points, assists, and rebounds' this season.

I got dem receipts fool. Got you again.


.

You certainly got dem receipts alright, receipts that not only show you were wrong, but that you need to step up your reading comprehension. For trying and failing to catch me out TWICE over the same things, I want six apologies, all hand-written. By the end of the week. Thanks in advance.

 

[Dayco23]

Are the Celtics for real?

Their defense is.

 

[KOBE]

Their defense is.

If a defense is real, the team typically is. They might not make it out of the East this year, but this is the Cavs last year going to the finals whether Lebron leaves or not. Sixers are going to be even more fearsome next year and Celtics with Hayward back+Tatum/Brown getting better are just going to wreck their shyt. Celtics biggest question mark going forward is how long will Horford keep up the elite defense as he's what's making it work so well right now.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

@G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman would you give up this year's 1st and mccall for a rest of the season rental and possibly resigning in the summer for Jah?

Nope....the way we been hitting on the draft I'd rather keep the pick.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

All the while totally ignorant of the fact that my whole argument was that Allen's injuries led him to be more limited in Game 4 on than he had been in Games 1-3, thus showing that he got hurt in Game 4 further PROVED my narrative right. Injuries in the 2nd half of Game 3 and in Game 4 are an even stronger case for me than the Game 3 injury alone.

Did you just inadvertently say that I was right all along:

WITH an injured Mike Conley AND with Tony Allen getting hurt in that third game,.

Allen didn't get injured in G3 - he was injured in the third quarter of G4

I putting this one down in the record book. Next to all the others.

 

[Wiirdo]

@Gil Scott-Heroin you've quoted my same post like 5 times now.

You said Kyrie has been an average to above average defender over his entire career with no receipts other than "durr context". Likewise no rebuttal to the posts about his dreadful pick and roll defense and him having trouble staying in front of ballhandlers (inb4 stay in front of % from the Finals quotation).

I have no qualms with saying he's been excellent defensively this season. I have a problem with claiming he's been average or above his career, and that he's somehow absolved of any blame for the Cavs' defensive woes while he was there.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Did you just inadvertently say that I was right all along:





I putting this one down in the record book.

You can't ...I will not believe you mean what you said.

I have NEVER said that Tony Allen didn't get hurt in Game 4.

I was the one who initially made the comment that Tony Allen got hurt in Game 3, and that comment was correct.

You claimed, "Wrong, he got hurt in Game 4."

You were incorrect when you claimed I was wrong. I NEVER denied that he also got hurt in Game 4, from the very beginning I acknowledged that, but I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about the effects that started with the injury in Game 3. The Game 4 injury further solidified my point.

You been on this, "I can't be wrong!" so long that you've forgotten what you were even arguing about.
