Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[Wiirdo]

at @The Dankster dapping this.

@The Dankster accused YOU of saying that Kyrie was going to be all-defensive 1st-team this season (he clearly wasn't paying attention to what you were actually saying), and then he accused me of co-signing your statement that he was going to be all-defensive 1st-team. @The Dankster took what you said out of context, and then wrongly accused me of co-signing it.

That's why I quoted your post, just to show him where he went wrong. I wasn't trying to restart that argument we had.



p.s. I never said he wasn't without blame for the Cavs' defensive woes, just that he shouldn't be solely blamed for them. That thread was trying to blame Kyrie for being the main reason why the Cavs defense was bad - which I was arguing against, because obviously, Kyrie didn't deserve to be solely blamed for the Cavs defensive issues. Understand?

My bad if so.

I only skimmed that post to see what was quoted of me.

And LeBron's stans were bowing at his feet when the Cavs barely beat the Knicks, yet the Celtics blew them out when they played them.

In other words, who gives a shyt

This point is,don't hold one team/player up to a standard,while letting other teams/players off the hook.,,,,,and yeah,cleveland barely beat the knicks on the road...without two starters,and backup pg.

And this is EXACTLY why I know you don't know what the fukk you're not talking about, because you clearly weren't watching that series - you're getting nearly every single detail that you can't find in the box score or an article, wrong. Allen was primarily guarding Klay in those games, not Curry.

I'm done with your bullshyt.

Look at you trying to run away from a losing battle.

Yeah, it was 2.5 years ago and I forgot that Allen mostly guarded Klay, though he DID guard Curry plenty too.



And look at how fast he was getting down the court before the Game 3 injury. You thought you had a winner.

My point still stands - Allen helped force Klay into 12 turnovers in the first 3 games AND stole the ball from Curry 4 times and blocked Curry's lay-in in Game 3. That is NOT the play of a man who is limping all over the court. Had the Memphis crowd chanting "First Team All-Defensive" in Game 3 goddamnit.


If you're gonna dismiss me for forgetting who someone's primary defender was 3 years ago, when in fact he DID guard that player a lot, what's your excuse for claiming that Allen was "moving fine" just a few months after the games when the video shows that he was CLEARLY limping and limited?

Not to mention your straight LIE that Boston's 19-0 run the other night was due to Golden State missing open jump shots, when in reality Boston was forcing so many turnovers that the Warriors only took 3 shots during the whole run and two of them had a guy right on the shooter.

If you claim I'm exposed for forgetting a defensive assignment 3 years ago, what's your excuse for forgetting an entire run just 3 weeks after the fact?

Ol' "double-standard" ass brother.

Ol' "double-standard" ass brother.

Or more to the point, what's your excuse for blatantly lying about what I said multiple times (re: Kyrie's defense/play), not reading properly, and then doing it all over again within the span of a few posts?



You're not even going to address half the shyt I called you out on in this thread because you know you were in the wrong, and you've just conveniently swept that shyt under the carpet.

I'm not gonna keep spamming this thread with this bullshyt. Nobody needs to keep reading your nonsense.

Yeah cause the Celtics haven't faced key injuries this season

I'm not gonna keep spamming this thread with this bullshyt. Nobody needs to keep reading your nonsense.

Notice how when I made an error, I immediately admitted that I had messed up, even though I had video evidence that I was partially right?

Whereas when I point out multiple ways you were obviously wrong, you just deflect to a different argument then claim (for the 4th time) that you're taking your ball home?

Completely ignore I had video evidence killing your "Tony Allen was moving just fine in Game 4" claim, video evidence killing your "he was just as limited in Games 1-3" claim, and best of all absolutely destroying your, "the Celtics got a 19-0 run over the Warriors without Kyrie only cause the Warriors missed open jump shots" claim.

You made a total lie about the Warriors missing open jump shots in that run, but you got a congenital defect which keeps you from ever admitting you were wrong, so you just deflect to a different part of the Kyrie argument (one I also pulled receipts on you for), and rinse, repeat.

The lost of Hayward was probably the best thing to happen to the celtics......It allowed Tatum/Brown to get more minutes......

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Okay, I'm willing to extend an olive branch and call a truce to today's war. We can find agreement on one point.

Kyrie's NOT an elite defender

NEVER did I say that Kyrie was "driving the Celtics' success on defense". Never. Never. Never.

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

I just told you in this very thread that Kyrie wasn't an elite defender.

I NEVER said or insinuated that he was gonna make the 1st-team All-D

We can both agree that Kyrie is not an elite defender.

Neither of us would ever, ever, ever even insinuate such a thing.

There is certainly no chance in hell that Kyrie is "driving the Celtics' success on defense." We would never, never, never say that. Or even insinuate it.

Kyrie is NOT an elite defender.

We agree!

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

I apologize for ever even thinking that you would suggest that Kyrie was an elite defender. My bad.


See Gil, it ain't so hard to admit when you're wrong.

 

[SchoolboyC]

The lost of Hayward was probably the best thing to happen to the celtics......It allowed Tatum/Brown to get more minutes......

They were going to play regardless.

A good thing long-term, sure you can argue that. It forced Brown & Tatum to have to grow up faster. In the short-term, no. His absence has had a significant impact on the offense, and additionally it puts a cap on their playoff success

@Gil Scott-Heroin & @The Dankster Need their own sub forum.. Got damn man lol..

No, it's very simple....

Embiid > Anyone not named Timothy Theodore Duncan


JoJo fouled him out in under 20 mins when they played.
