@Maccaraps@driveslow05@JalapenoJordan@sponhourm That’s precisely the point tho. That’s why no one’s acknowledged him being out for 6 games in this series. They were better without him. Ajay Mitchell was a bigger loss then Jalen Williams
@Maccaraps@driveslow05@JalapenoJordan@sponhourm I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s a negative but the thunder won 60 games mostly without him. Even when he did play he along with the team just didn’t look as good. Not a knock on him cuz he’s a great player but he hurt them more then he helped them against the spurs
@StNickCryptic@pnyxhill@supalaser@Peterrific_@LukaToBron All due respect to Kobe but I don’t think he was robbed in 02-03. Tim Duncan clearly deserved that mvp and Kobe wasn’t even the mvp of his own team. Shaq missed the first 12 games of the season and the lakers went 3-9 in those games.
@StNickCryptic@supalaser@pnyxhill@Peterrific_@LukaToBron Yes because he’s also 41 dude. Doesnt mean he can’t still be good or at worst a neutral defender and you saw it when he’s the third option. He didn’t have to try as hard on offense and has more energy for defense
@StNickCryptic@supalaser@pnyxhill@Peterrific_@LukaToBron I think LeBron being “trash” on defense is the same as the Kobe convo rn. He just had a much larger load on offense combined with his age he just can’t put out that much effort on defense. It’s not that he’s not capable he just doesn’t have the energy to be able to
@StNickCryptic@supalaser@pnyxhill@Peterrific_@LukaToBron Maybe I worded it wrong but when I said his defense suffered I meant it more in a way that he just wasn’t able to put as much effort on that side of the ball as before. He had a much larger load on offense so he couldn’t give 100% effort on defense every possession every game
@StNickCryptic@supalaser@pnyxhill@Peterrific_@LukaToBron I mean that’s partially true tho no? It’s not necessarily because of his talent or that he just all of a sudden became a bad defender, he just had to take on much more of an offensive role after shaq left so then his defense obviously suffers
@AJGullotta@Graham_SFN He’s saying he doesn’t want the contract for the niners. It doesn’t fit into our current cap situation especially because we have a lot of holes to fill, it doesn’t make sense to spend that much on that one position
@SmokinA_Jeffrey@opalitehazes@kodstrangeer You didn’t answer my question at all. I don’t know why this has you so pressed. Relax a little, the experience of being in a video rental store doesn’t have to be exclusive to you man
@toro_leek @ftgjtw @petrill_tj Yea Chris Paul isn’t your ordinary great. He’s a top 5 point guard of all time he deserved a farewell tour. Don’t be dense
