Also Trump was pushing for a much bigger stimulus package than Biden was going into the 2020 election. It got shot down.

Look at the post I quoted. You thinking KD is neutralizing Kobe is the funniest part about this whole back & forth. I've addressed everything, including their supporting casts. You can't leave Fisher & Horry open from 3. You got no one that can stop Shaq or Kobe. Somehow the Lakers have no shot tho because Warriors shoot more 3s. Great.
2017...
Bolding my OP to expose these dumbasses trying to say the Lakers would win. Literally my first post and yet, here comes the morons doing exactly what I predicted.
Biden is spending LESS than Trump did. The deficit is coming DOWN from Trump, not up.

Debt went up 40% under Trump. Only 16% so far under Biden.
You are just cherry picking this whole post. Shaq/Kobe Lakers ALMOST lost some series too, remember? The 2018 Rockets were elite as hell. They went 65-17 with a +8.7 net rating. Quite acting like they were nobodies.
And AGAIN, we have another post here (tpols) literally boiling EVERYTHING down to 2x2 basketball. Why are yall so ****ing stupid?...
Using +/- against the field of all 30 teams is retarded ŵhen were discussing a specific H2H matchup. The warriors after bogut left were tailor made to get ****ed by Shaq.
Dude I've seen Curry go cold from 3, Klay average like 16ppg in almost every Finals, Dray shoot like ass since forever, and obviously Mcgee and Zaza can't shoot at all and would be obliterated by Shaq and Kobe.
Did you not witness 2018? Harden and old Chris Paul were UP 3-2 on the Curry KD warriors. And you think Shaq and ****ing Kobe couldn't...
So your only argument is "no one's stopping the 2017 Warriors". Great.
'01 Lakers had a better Net Rating (+13.8) than the '17 Warriors (+13.5) in the Playoffs. You thinking that Steph & KD are on the same level as Shaq & Kobe is where you got shit really ****ed up.
even in half a season dallas was happy with kyrie they're the one who gave him a slight discount not bkn. sure he has his issues but he was an all-nba lvl guy not even getting the 30% max. George only missed playoffs one year and had all-nba impact pretty much every year including top 10 in every impact metric this year. I never said jaylen...
Once again you boil it down to 2 players. Get your head out of the sand. The LAKERS would not beat the WARRIORS. Bball is not 2x2. Besides, 17 Warriors still had Javale McGee, Zaza, and David West. Obviously no one is stopped Shaq but the Warriors still have bodies to throw at. The Lakers defense has no shot at doing anything to the WHOLE warriors...
Shaq would literally foul draymond out. And with no bogut the warriors would not only have nobody to guard the Shaq, they'd have nobody to protect the rim. Which would be a free for all for Kobe.
Did you not see last night's game?
Minnesota hit 18 3s and Dallas only hit 6. And the Wolves lost.
I'm not saying the Dubs couldn't get hot...
I also remember when he called Curry the most overrated player of all time 12 seasons into his career and said he just stood around waiting for spot up 3's :lol
I'm currently in a truce with Axe, until my 10,000th post, so I really hope that BurningHammer and Axe are not the same person. But see what I mean? From Pope Ratzinger, to Abe from Japan, plane crashes, and then Iranian President, and now this Dog, BurningHammer and my friend Axe always rush to create these threads.
And I completely forgot...
Dude, you are so dumb. No team is beating the 17 Warriors. They were the best offensive and defensive team in the league and had an absurd +11.6 net rating.
The 01 Lakers would literally need another 20-point scorer (that can space the floor) added to their team to compete with the 17 Warriors. No one cares about how much you love Kobe, he's...
If Irving has all this leverage then he gets offered a contract that he would find acceptable. He originally got the max when he signed woth Brooklyn. A long list of crap off the court happened that led to him not being offered the max when the time came to negotiate again, Unexcused or explained absences, the war between him the team and the city...
May take him with their 1st round pick.

This notion that every center needs to put on weight to play in the 90's is a myth and nothing more. If you put Embiid in the 90's he'd be the 2nd biggest star center next to Shaq, so Gobert would be able to handle the physicality from anyone(well, except Shaq but no one could). The reason we're seeing rosters get smaller is because as the average...
fucc it ima put 500 on the mavs, i don't think minny will find a solution to guarding kyrie. and they shot horribly last game. i bet they shoot much better tonight. minny probably takes 1 or 2 games on the road tho
rockets were built to counter gs however. no bad defender on perimeter a small ball lineup that's switchable everywhere to counter dray at the 5. Specifically played an iso heavy slow low turnover offense to not let gs get out in transition. people in this thread say lakers have personnel to guard gs but do they really. just having shaq...
