:why:Hey fakkit, u do remember that melo played in the western conference with basically no one carried that team year in and year out. Got the nuggets to the offs by himself after being a lottery team out west

Anyway, anyone who list harden in their top anything doesn't deserve to be listened to.


And I knew @The War Report would be in here caping hard for his boy:laff:
Whats with all this revisionist history? :what:

Melo always had a good to great supporting cast when he played for the Nuggets. Stop making shyt up.

Are you really gonna compare those rosters to what Durant has on the Thunder right now? :comeon:

Kobe leading a team with starters like Smush, Kwame, and Luke Walton to the playoffs shouldn't gotten him a nobel peace prize or something let alone title of best in the league. what he did was miracle work.

Nah, they gloss over it while at the same time talking about how Lebron had it so bad with a slightly better roster in a weaker East :snoop:

I do think people overrate Durant when they put him on Lebron's level or say he is better than prime Kobe, but in today's league he is clearly the second best player in the NBA. Melo isn't even in the top 10. Stop with that shyt.

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
Only nikkas in the league who can have more of an effect on the game than KD is fasho Bron, Curry on some nights, CP3 on some nights, and D Wade on some nights. KD is prob easily the best offensive player in the game today, but his effect on the game is not always as impactful as the nikkas I named.

I don't except them without Russ to be the best team in the West. I do however expect them to not lose games they should win. They had a double digit 4th quarter lead in 2 consecutive home games against the Blazers and Nets and lost both. In both games, Kevin Durant went ghost in the 4th after being a beast in the first 3. I don't have a problem with stars having bad games or missing shots down the stretch. I have a problem with them just sitting back and letting others do it. Durant has been playing like that. He's content with Reggie Jackson playing like he's Russ and taking big shots down the stretch when those should be his.

And don't get me started on getting blown out by the Jazz in Utah. :snoop: Even without Serge or Russ that is a game Durant should win by himself. The fukkin Kobe-less Lakers almost beat the Jazz in Utah. Losing to horrible teams like that is inexcusable.
As crazy as this may sounds...I kinda agree with this. But I don't think you have to have that ''fukk the stat sheet mentality'' every game. Only time it's really needed is come playoff time when the only important thing is winning.

More people remember winning even if its ugly than losing if its pretty. :yeshrug:

I think it's fair to say Skip says outlandish things for ratings. So when people see these titles they tune into the show.

Skip is hypocritical though, how you name Paul George and Harden though? Harden was one of my fav players but after I've seen his D and the stats that shows he's the least travelled player up and down the court in the league (THE LOWEST....LOWER THAN BIG MEN) I was like :patrice:

Paul George is the definition of a 2nd tier superstar. When I was watching the Raps-Pacers game the announcer said "you cant call George a superstar. He was 4/12 with 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Someone like Lebron can't get shut down that drastically"

I do feel Lillard > Harden and George as of recently

You know you're dumb as fukk when your big point is that you agree with Skip B., Truly deserving of the title of the most garbage poster.

This thread just proves the amount of clowns in this forum talking hoops, but don't know a damn thing :laugh:
