The white media are hilarious whenever they get a new great white hope
They're already better than who .... yeah iight son.

This is only the beginning, cacs been waiting for this white hope since Larry Bird. They're gonna make him the face of the NBA by next year & start bringing up shit that he's gonna surpass Lebron as a better player already.

 

[spider705]

I'm thinking he was posting something woke or coonish Harden did but this nigga ranting about dude's game lol. Umar bugging, but I guess Harden is that polarizing of a player that people from all backgrounds gotta give their 2 cents about his game.

Fuck that nigga he need to run my coin instead of talking about Harden

 

[REDLINE]

Well if THEY saying it then it must be true, right?

It’s times like this that I wish I could email an ass whooping!

He has not only not won a single playoff game, but hasn’t even played in a playoff game and they have the audacity to type that he’s better than any one of them?

Heat and Nuggets got my vote for top 2 City jerseys

 

[Simply Sickenin']

Miami got the best city edition jerseys two years in a row. They're killing it with the Vice City inspired look.

 

[Mack1052]

Been killing over the last few weeks. Holding it down with Kyrie out. Along with Lou Will, probably the best non rookie contract in the league value wise.

 

[therealjondoe]

I wouldnt be mad if miami permanetly switched to the vice themed jerseys

Some great games tonight

 

[Simply Sickenin']

I have no idea how this Sixers/Raptors game is so close cause we're playing like shit right now. It's halftime and Simmons hasn't taking a single shot. And all we're doing is putting up bricks from the 3. I swear if we don't come out in the 3rd and start putting our heads down and driving to the basket.

Nick Nurse is hot

 

[havelcok]

Beautiful

What’s the team’s record over that span that Kyrie’s been out?

It’s weird how teams do better when he’s not there....

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

Tough loss by the Cavs....

 

[REDLINE]

So he leaves a team that could possibly contend for a championship so that he could go somewhere and be “The Man” and wear cute jerseys.

That says alot about Kyrie don't it....


It's funny,how he wasn't winning shit when Lebron came back yet want to throw a fit when Lebron was trying to teach him about winning.

Kyrie’s a good player highly skilled and fun to watch, but he’s not person you want to have as the best player on your team.

Kyrie is a luxury player
nice to have to entertain the fans
but you will always need someone else to do the heavy lifting

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

I agree,but you would think that someone that has Kobe as a mentor would understand winning is everything.

I understand,he's different but at the same time,he can't continue to bounce all over the league.

First,it was wanting to leave because of the organization and Lebron. Then,it was because of his teammates in Boston...Now,there are reports he's not happy with the Nets organization. When does it stop for him.

 

[Simply Sickenin']

It's not often I say this about my squad but I'm legitimately glad we lost that game. Sixers played like absolute shit tonight. Simmons didn't attempt a single shot in the 1st half and barely any in the fourth. Embiid got completely shutdown the entire game. 0 points, 0 for 10 from 3 and his big ass still jacking up 3s in the closing minutes in close game. And no one has stepped up to replace JJ and Jimmy Buckets as our 4th quarter closers.

And I might have to start watching some more Raptors games. You'd expect them to have taken a slight dip after losing someone like Kawhi, but their defense doesn't seem like it skipping a beat.

What’s the team’s record over that span that Kyrie’s been out?

Even the commentators of the Sixers/Raptors games were taking shots at Kyrie by talking about teams seem to play with more unity after Kyrie leaves. If I was a GM and had a chance of signing Kyrie, I'm signing him 10 out of 10 times. But they do make a good point about team chemistry being better when he's not in the rotation.

Riley Curry hilariously asked Draymond Green why Warriors keep losing
By Drew Shiller November 25, 2019 9:49 AM

Riley Curry is not used to the Warriors losing.

Steph and Ayesha Curry's eldest child was born in July 2012, which means the Warriors have never missed the playoffs since she's been alive.
That is going to change in 2020, as Golden State is an NBA-worst 3-14 to start the season after suffering a deluge of injuries.

Everybody affiliated with the Warriors is processing this season's reality -- including Riley.
The following is from a recent feature story on Draymond Green by Anthony Slater of The Athletic:
“All my kids know is the Warriors winning,” Green continues. “So, us losing, it doesn’t make sense to them.”
It’s not just his kids.
“The other day, I was getting them out of the family room after the (Celtics) game and Riley Curry was in there,” Green says of Curry’s oldest daughter. “She’s like: ‘Did we lose?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, Riley, we lost.’ She’s like: ‘Why do we keep losing?'”

Green resisted the urge to point over at Riley’s father, mention that giant cast over his left hand and explain that, well, that’s the reason they keep losing. Young Draymond fumed when he lost at “Madden.” He didn’t care about nuances or realistic excuses. Riley won’t. So, Green says, he just told her “we’ll get better.”

I hope we find out that Steph told Riley to ask Draymond the question, because that would be hilarious.

Do we think the two-time NBA MVP has explained to his daughter that if the Warriors keep losing, they probably will secure a very high draft pick?

Um, you may wanna check Miami's record

Yes, Herro and Nunn are doing outstanding and the Heat are a surprise this year, a surprise.

All Draymond had to say was, "You notice your Dad and uncle Klay at your house watching the Warriors games with you? Now you know why"!

Nah, don't blame Kobe.

His problem is that he never actually led a team and it takes more than being a good player. He was at dook for seven games.

The odd thing is the thing that got him in trouble...the subliminal shit he did with Boston...is the same shit that annoyed him about Lebron. That's why he apologized to Lebron last year. He meant well criticizing the team, but they're young and sensitive.

If anything he tried to follow Lebron's leadership technique.

 

[Simply Sickenin']

Yup
And it's not like he has to miss the Sixers. If any we miss having him.

The Heat are looking really good this year. Herro pretty much took over Waiters roster spot. And Buckets is doing what his does best. Racking up assists for 3 quarters by getting all the young players good looks. And then going off in the fourth.

i dont think Kobe is the right person to teach him anything

dude already knows how to score

he needs a guy like Lebron

he really should have allowed Lebron to mentor him

 

[Mask]

Giannis dropped 50/14
Lebron dropped 33/3/14

I guess we know who gonna be the captains for the all star game again....

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

You gonna put that man in the hospital bringing his bf into this like that.

Wins over the heavyweights of the League in the Hornets, Bulls, Kings, Knicks and Cavs

Not blaming Kobe,Im saying Kobe,Lebron and others care more about winning championships while Kyrie cares more about scoring all the time...

When the Cavs were going to the Finals those four years,he seemed unhappy about it..
