Personalities matter. Luka has a phycho competitiveness to his game. It's something that doesn't show up in the stat sheet, which is why OP was fooled. Human phychology is paramount in everything. Can't quantify it.
Gobert is not worth the price that the Wolves paid to get him. He had a "meh" series, but that's the type of player that he is in the Playoffs. He had good defensive players around him this time around and the Mavs still made him look useless as a player. Thats just how it is in the modern NBA. Rudy is a great individual defender, but opponents...
Right there is literally nothing he could do that would lose him support from MAGA cultists. But swing voters who dislike both Biden and Trump? I actually think there are much more on the fence this time around. And Trump being a felon, and reminding the population that he was soliciting prostitution from porn stars?
I still can't get over them putting that ****ing bum Lillard over Kyrie, I know it was because of their personal dislike for Kyrie not getting the vaccine and his comments about Jews but still
Net rating for individual players doesn't mean much, especially on a short sample size like 3 rounds of playoff games.
Net rating has Luka as 6th on the Mavs team in the playoffs. Does anyone think he's the Mavs 6th best player? Even looking at that, Lively actually has the highest net rating by a long shot at 13.4.
Hell, Dante Exum led the...
That series made it not even debatable. LeBron destroyed him on both ends with a weaker cast. Not even close. He humiliated Curry as if he was a child.
Can all the Rudy haters and defenders provide some arguments for your sides?
I'm not a hater. I'm actually a defender of his for the most part. But the one thing I struggle to understand about the WCF is how easily the Mavs were able to score at the rim. Usually when a team is able to neutralize a shot blocker it's because he's being pulled out...
Not sure what to think of that. I don't feel like he really pushed any boundaries with this. He was canceled back in the 90s for saying "f*g". Maybe he should try to say that again if he wants to make a real splash. Or better yet, the n-word.
I do feel like he has actually aged much better than Dre, 50, Snoop, have. They are all so old.
He 2016 year is kind of like Lebron's 2011 year in a sense. Curry was the best player all year up until the finals.
Other than 2016, I agree that Curry has not been the best player in any other years. It's mostly Lebron every year, then KD/Giannis has some argument, then for sure Jokic these last few years.
He had the 3rd best Net Rating on the team in the RS and has the best Net Rating by far on the team in the Playoffs. He carried them in spots when Luka was out w/ an injury in the RS which helped them get the 5 seed. They were worse on both O & D with him on the bench in the RS.
He had two games where he barely shot the ball but had 9 & 11...
Curry can't hold it after what happened in the finals blowing a 3-1 lead to the current belt holder in Lebron. That year just cemented that it was clearly and surely Lebron and than Curry.
Honestly this isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Trump paying a whore to stay quiet fits perfectly in line with his persona. Obviously he's gotta play the game and deny everything, that also fits his persona.
This isn't some shocking story that alters how people percieve Trump. The people who vote for him don't care about this, if...
Kyrie had 16ppg on 53% ts vs. OKC which was their worst matchup and toughest series.
You can replace kyrie with quite a few 2nd options and still probably get similar results.
This entire post is nonsense and you are just proving my post. Literally no one agrees with you.
You keep spamming the same nonsense and playing both sides of the fence for every argument, and then saying to yourself "i Am So SmArT".
Again it's embarrassing and you have zero shame. It's odd to have to tell a 45 year old to "grow up". People...
tbf I forgot about lebron/ad. still name the other better ones besides kd/booker. I like george but i'm taking kyrie in playoffs. Jaylen's playmaking too weak for me. Dame had a down year. There arent many other options teams are really good but the stars are spread around
That's a silly comment. What team in the West would be in the finals right now with their second best player not playing any games? Kyrie is great but he does not fill the weaknesses of the team like the trio of PJ, Lively, and Gafford.
Nah, he had a goofy regular season of stat padding but peak LeBron was better on both ends.
These guys are obviously right, steph was never the best in the world. He got hyped because little kids bought his jersey and he brought eyeballs. Jeremy lin effect.
peak harden was pathetic.
Luka atleast got a proper game. a jumpshot and some descent foot work.
Harden was just team chemistry killer with that extreme ball dominance and those horrible baited driving calls he gets from refs.
