    I am not sure if you have watched the warriors. Wiggins is having a good year, but he hasn't been a good player. The warriors made a mistake in drafting wiseman. The rest of those guys are not very good. Without curry they would be one of the 3 worst teams in the league.

    I've had many run-ins with Laker Fan. Laker Fan is the worst. Laker Fan is entitled to a championship every year, and when it doesn't happen it's because of a conspiracy.

    I have nothing against LeBron. Only Laker Fan.

    What are you using to judge what a good player is?

    That’s noting that he didn’t miss the playoffs. That’s not praising him for that year, which everyone noted was a disappointment.

    Seems like you misunderstood.

    I think every other playoff team can use a PF that can defend multiple positions, the post and the perimeter, that’s also a very good passer. It’s a silly position to think every team can’t use those skill sets.

    Here's what you said previously:

    "Your position is beyond silly because Draymond could do the same things on literally every other playoff team."


    And like I said before, other teams aren't going to let a poor scorer be a primary ball handler.

    You praised him for leading us to the playoffs that year. We won 41 games that season. How can you praise him for leading us to the playoffs without also praising him for leading us to 41 wins?

    He doesn’t have to be the primary ball handler to be a good passer and great defender.

    Please highlight the post with the “praising words”. You are 0-1 so far. I’ll wait patiently.

    Grouping games together?

    Every round of the playoffs is a group of games.

    You are a joke.

    I guess mainly because I just looked at what I considered “important” later games of playoff series we lost in basketball references game log and grouped them together to get his average box score numbers and then switched over to advanced to get his combined efficiency in those games, but sure then that’s 1 folding game and 1 not in that series efficiency wise in decisive games.

    I did. If you don't understand the implications of your words, that's your problem, not mine.

    You're an idiot. Grouping the two games together as a pair had the smoothing effect of hiding one of Harden's terrible games. It's unsurprising you didn't notice that.

    No, but he wouldn't be a primary ball-handler on other playoff teams. Not sure why you keep ignoring this point. Don't worry though, I'll keep reminding you.

    You are really reaching for attention.

    I'm done with you for today.

    thanks for the laughs.

    Good. Maybe you should go read a book or something. You have the critical thinking of a child.

    You didn’t. Words of “praise” are pretty easy to decipher.

    Harden put up ridiculous numbers on that 8th seeded Rockets team and Zach Lowe/Bill Simmons campaigned against him even being put on the All-NBA third team. Pretty sure they were skeptical about him being an All-Star that year too. Yet they're pushing hard for Curry this season. What's the difference?
