Don’t go nowhere faggit
Is it OK to laugh at this?
QUIET

I respect this so muchHe must be stopped at all costs
Cause it's from a place of he can't keep getting away with this
Not in defense of an individual but for the greater good
what was that again??
He's a nuggets fan
Preemptively psyching himself out
They should stick to calling him the greatest shooter ever because no he's not really a point guard, he's a shooting guard if anything. They're trying to put him over Magic when he plays the position nothing like Magic, Isaiah or any other point guard from back then
Steph’s kids are toddlers
They got lucky. They’re about to get swept in the second round. The “Gentleman’s Way”.
He is really a damn point guard lol
Point guard - run the offense, control the tempo, lead the team, create EASY shots for his teammates
Which one of those doesn't he do?
I hope you all see how maddening it is right?
Because he's been sacrificing stats forever for the sake of the team
He's off the ball setting screens running around screens for the sake of KERR
But then
Suddenly
When it all counts he can just have the ball create for everyone end up being double teamed as the fucking point guard getting people wide open looks --- which they bricked by the way. If Poole Klay and Wiggins had shot even 36% from the field yesterday it would've been a 50 point victory
But Kerr just decides to NOT DO THAT
Kyrie is a god with the handles
Steph used to be flashy
Pop called him out about it and said if he ever wanted to actually be good he reign it in some and Steph did
Well, won't ball like the James Bros
Yeah Kyrie is but like I said most times it's for show to add to his highlight reel, Steph mostly uses his dribble to get the defender to either give him just enough room to put up a shot or get to close so he can drive past him, I've seen Kyrie put the defender in the same position hundreds of times but instead of shooting/driving by he keeps dribbling
How when Daymond is often the primary playmaker and he spends a good portion of the game, off ball
Who created the offense.
The guy standing still tossing it to the wide open shooter or cutter?
Or the guy that ran left and 3 ppl went with him leaving 2 people wide open for shots?
Draymonds contribution is DEFENSE
He is a defensive genius
And as I said Steph could just handle the ball if and when he wants to but sacrifices so that others can get those easy ass shots
Like a good point guard does.
Sacrifice so that their teammates gets easy shots
What the fuck was the deal with the homeless man skully Julius Randle had on? Was that tribute or something? Nigga looked like he was ready to ask "Who got the jumbos out here?"
We were all talking during the game.
You came through after the series was all wrapped up like
Then
“Just re-use the clips from the last Knicks/Heat series, what’s the difference?”
How many assist does Draymond average?
Steph dribbles the ball down the court and gets the ball to Draymond at least 50% of the time.
