He is a ring chaser. He knew that with LeBron winning for Cleveland last year he was the new Dan marino of the NBA and couldn't take the pressure.
If Marino could go back and be the one piece needed on a team to win a SB don't you think he'd do it? [Reply]

The king has been humbled, for his crown is about to come off.
He's just aware that he had a 40 point triple double and got a 40 point game from Kyrie and still lost to the Warriors anyway. He knows there's nothing they can do to stop this team. [Reply]

Averaged 30 and 8 last year against the warriors. But yeah, he fell apart.
Maybe he should have stayed another decade in OKC. It's not like OKC was trading and losing all the talent around him year after year or nothing. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

bullshit.
Idc about his three quarters if he failed to come thru as a leader in the final 8 mins. I don't care if Korver is a three point specialist or he's kinda open.. you don't make that pass there at the end. There's every excuse in the book for Lebron and it's tiring. Cleveland had the lead until they had horrible possessions in the end. To continue to act like their helpless doesn't keep Lebrons legacy intact as the greatest to ever do it. It's clevelands fault for not winning this game, not warriors being unbeatable. Kyrie had a horrible three point attempt as well. [Reply]

That was a dumb as hell take during the hootie run. Why would it help the Warriors legacy to not be the only team that run the table in the playoffs? [Reply]
They might win 50 playoff games in a row unless someone shuffles together another super team. Cleveland is stacked and they aren't in the same hemisphere. KD when he doesn't feel the pressure is amazing. He made the right move though it's killed competitive basketball for a while. Once he starts stacking rings no one will give a shit. Though joining a team you lost to is pussy and he handled it like a little kid it's not hard to understand. The Thunder fucked up by trading Harden instead of using the amnesty on Perkins. The NBA fucked up by not spreading the large cap spike, and he took advantage. He also nutted up and is showing he's by far the best player on that team. It will be interesting to see how egos handle it over time. As a person I'm happy for KD because he was always cool to me. Competitively I still don't like it. It's his legacy and he did what he wanted. Hard to argue at this point. This team scores with ease. Just devastating.
