He also talked about Shaqs flaws as a player. Come back to me when Durant wins four titles.
That's the lames logic ever. So I guess Dan Marino and Charles Barkley can't criticize anyone.
Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin
BevoPhinForum VeteranCanes with a couple of consecutive wins over ranked opponents, they gotta jump to a top 20 ranking right?

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

MikeHonchoSupporterThe Cabs did. You guys got Derron Williams. Nice pickup; that's the Lebron effect. Melo would be the icing on the championship cake.

Funny to me how most people want Cavs over GSW, when GSW was built more and Cavs were bought. It's 3 superstars vs 4, yet when it was the Heat's 3 superstars vs the Spurs 3/4, the entire nation wanted the Spurs.

KD called Shaq's comments "childish". Do you agree ? If so, maybe you're the one who should shut up. If not, you're deluded.
Kevin Durant is a flat out bitch. He just is. He loves to run his mouth, once calling Bosh a "fake tough guy", but Durant is the definition of that. He's a huge hypocrite as well. I really have little respect for the guy. Great player, but a bitch. McGee is a bad player that earns the flak Shaq gave him early, and when McGee couldn't take the joke and shot back, obviously Shaq was just going to feed off of that.

They were the darlings of the media and fans until they broke the NBA record for wins and then added a top 2 or 3 player in basketball. Nobody roots for that....unless you hate the Cavs (which most here do) then it is irrelevant.
All agendas aside, I do not respect what Durant did from a competitive standpoint.
Imagine if Cleveland loses this year to the Warriors and then sign Anthony Davis the next offseason...it would be a joke.

Vertical LimitForum VeteranI dont want neither the cavs or gsw, but the fact remains theyll both be in the Finals this year and possibly the next two years.. so it is what it is, fans are going to pick the team they hate the least.
This year if i dont see a different team in the Finals, im not watching. I dont care if it ends up Cavs vs Spurs or Golden State vs Boston, just give me a different match up to watch

You take this so seriously. It's just basketball. Maybe you should incorporate more than sports into your day. Become more well rounded and lighten up a bit.

Look at it from his perspective..when your team is garbage year in and year out (pelicans) you can't take sports seriously.
Fin-OForum VeteranHow many times have the Knicks lost to a buzzer beater this year? For fugssake man

Lol well at least we played defense tonight. Melo had that last minute shot lined up but like a half dozen other shots he had tonight it was half way down and rimmed out. Open look too. But that's what happens with bad teams, you find ways to lose.
The good news is:
Noah out for the year = more minutes for KP, Willy, and OQuinn
Jennings waived = More minutes for Baker aka the only PG we have that plays D
Recommitted to the triangle has lead to a lot of open looks for players like Holiday, Lee, Thomas, Melo etc.
aesopForum VeteranThe parallels between the Knicks franchise state and the Dolphins is uncanny. I feel like a Patriots fan of basketball with all the rings and constant contention.
GalantForum VeteranPrediction - as long as Durant is back for the playoffs this might benefit the Warriors. He'll come back rested, the rest of the team will have given time and experience to their depth players, they'll have jelled more, and they're good enough to continue winning without Durant.
Talking point people will look at - if Durant is out for the rest of the regular season is this a chance for San Antonio to take the #1 spot?
Answer - not necessarily, because the Warriors aren't necessarily going to get any worse and Popovich is the sort to go all out for play-off positioning. However, if there is a drop off for the Warriors, a #2 spot might be inevitable.

GalantForum VeteranAnd now...
Barnes is apparently emotional...
Would he be so happy if they weren't so dominant? :tongue:
And then there's this:
