Heyyyyy that’s almost like James Harden’s game 6 performance against the Spurs. 10 points 18% FG 6 Turnovers Heat missing Lowry, Butler. Spurs missing Parker, Leonard. Just needed it it to be at home and lose by 36 more points. Maybe Trae was just really tired? Maybe he was concussed? Did he start dating a Kardashian? Did Lil B curse Trae?
yep, maybe one day when people realize top picks arent more talented, teams will stop chasing top picks and these posts will disappear
well at least atlanta and miami and the results of entire regular season and this series disagree with you... and the season previous to this, and the mvp race in last at least last 4 years...so thats a lot of things that makes me stop at this point and feel no need to bring further evidences... but oth you may be right, making this realization would spoil a lot of fun for a lot of people so maybe they should keep their heads burried in the sand, if they feel happy with their current understanding and continue to enjoy toppickmania....
they don't. you literally spin your own little narrative in your head and pass it off into this tirade you've been on spamming every single thread did you have this same energy with trae led his team to the ECF last year. Miami? the same miami that's the #1 seed and still in the playoffs?
2021: Bucks won because Giannis undercut Kyrie (a top pick) and took him out of the series. Meanwhile, Harden (a top pick) had hamstring issues and Durant (a top pick) almost carried the entire team, but his shoe size was about an inch too big. A fully healthy Nets team, led by top picks, would have rolled everyone. 2020: Lakers, led by two top picks in LeBron and AD, beat the Heat (the team you you like to reference) because they simply were too talented. 2019: Raptors only won because top pick KD and lottery pick Klay had season-ending injuries near the end of the 7 game series, leaving no time for GSW to adjust. You're leaving out the injury variable when pushing your agenda, and it's really sad. The notion that you're pushing, of "See? You can totally win with a team full of undrafted players like Miami!" is incredibly ignorant. Miami hasn't won anything, but you're acting like they're this dynasty. Players are selected near the top of the draft based off their talent and potential, shown in college and in pro leagues around the world. You can use Giannis as an example that bucked the trend, but he was super duper raw when he was picked. And even then, he was pick 15 - not something like a Jokic, picked in the second round.
The quarantees of life: death, taxes, and in every thread there will be a mention of James Harden and tanking for draft picks
