Who cares how many games they won when they acquired KD after they choked away a 3-1 lead and won 73 in 16' season, they won more reg. season games year prior so what is the difference after they signed KD after and he made them a cheat code / basically unbeatable in postseason, why didn't they win more reg. season games with KD? why didn't they win 74 or 75 games? tell me Mr. (un) know-it-all Your comprehension skills are poor, you communicate quite well but you can't do the former worth a damn, at this point it's a lost cause, take it how you want to take it, you are hopeless and keep arguing with yourself over something basic 2 cents (from my angle) is a free will opinion on a situation, like my 2 cents is the Bulls would have 8peated had Jordan not retired, or my 2 cents could be the Rockets would have beaten those Bulls in both matchups had they met, you are the only one here arguing because an opinion is just that you think the sky is purple i think the sky is blue, so you argue that it's purple you also probably think people are coloring crayons as well (black / white), so you will argue that until you get a migraine it wasn't a claim, it was a opinion on how he would be used if he had been in that Tucker role and Mike D / Harden system did you claim the Warriors would win the title last year or did you have an opinion about them winning it, or did you think Celtics would win? you are complete comedy i posted in other reply that since the 1980's the nba as a whole has had like 9 or so teams that have won the title, when you claimed the league only had 8 teams in B Russell era, so i said the nba is basically like that now with just more teams, so the Lakers / Warriors are apart of that 9 team title club since from the 1980 - 2010 mark, so it's only two new teams which i mentioned being the Bucks / Raptors so in 40+ years they have had 9 or so of the same teams win the title, basically making it a 9 team league or team with the superstars because it's a star driven league, and you mentioned it's a 30 team league, which makes it watered down similar to if you run a record label and you have 8 superstar acts, then you sign 22 more acts who are not even that talented, but just for tax write off ($$), then that would water your label down as a whole, that is what the NBA has become for most part you truly need to learn the diff. between comprehension and communicating, and you need to learn the diff. between an opinion and a claim, and a argument between trading dialogue (ie. basic conversation about a topic)
You're the one who claimed that the Warriors won more games after they acquired Durant. Why are you getting so defensive about something you were clearly wrong about? Own it and move on. By getting so defensive about it, you're just bring more attention to something you were undeniably wrong about. How is a claim different than an opinion? 4 unique champions in 4 years proves that you're wrong. Instead of getting so defensive about something you're clearly wrong about, own your mistake and move on.
Since 1990, you've had the Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, Spurs, Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Mavs, Warriors, Cavs, Raptors and Bucks. 12 different championship franchises. And the Clippers and Nets are two of the front runners this year. Not quite as watered down as you think.
I said since 1980's good try reaching for straws though, and it was many contenders in those other eras as well so who cares about so called front runners because they (nets / clippers) were front runners when those two teams were first assembled and it didn't get them nowhere and you should know quite well since the Rockets beat a few 60 win teams during one of their title runs, which I Am quite sure those 60 win teams were so called quasi contenders / front runners in 40+ years it has been 9 or so teams give or take 1, that is pure weak watered down even using your piggy back analogy, that would be like somebody shooting 12 for 32 in NBA game, or a QB completing 12 out of 32, horrific game on both sides now imagine shooting in it from my original quote about it being a 9/10 for 42 shooting night in a NBA game or a QB completing 9/10 out of 42 attempts, just pure pathetic, similar to all your argumentative replies to me you are 9 for 42, stop shooting (replying), play Draymond type defense and hit a corner pocket 3 from time to time
i did not claim the Warriors won more games after they acquired KD, i don't know why you bolded that quote, now go read it again just like you are saying 4 diff. champions in 4 years, not realizing the Lakers and Warriors are rinse and repeat champions since the 1980's / 2000's / 2010's so it was two new champs being the Bucks / Raptors, which is still weak looking at the total picture and not from a mere 4 year window as you are doing, but from a 42 year window as i showcased
Curry / Klay / Green were all stars with excellent chemistry, which is why they won more games than when they acquired KD who made them a cheat code (My Quote) ------------------------------ Now if you can wrap you brain around the basic of this: i said Curry / Klay / Green were all stars with excellent chemistry (key word), now pay attention: ----------------------------- which is why they (Curry / Klay / Green) won more games 73 (nba single season record without KD)...................than when they acquired KD (meaning after they acquired KD they didn't win 70 games in a reg. season let alone 73) so how did i mention / claim that the Warriors won more games after they acquired KD?
Claim: state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof assert that one has gained or achieved (something) make a demand for (money) under the terms of an insurance policy call for (someone's notice and thought) cause the loss of (someone's life) VS. Opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge the beliefs or views of a large number or majority of people about a particular thing a formal statement of advice by an expert on a professional matter a formal statement of reasons for a judgment given. a lawyer's advice on the merits of a case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ two cents One's opinion or thoughts.
You are absolutely right. I misread what you wrote and I own it completely. I'll try to do better in the future.
You realize two cents and opinion are the exact same thing right? which has nothing to do with a demand (claim) for money take it all as a whole and stop trying to nit/cherry pick around what fits your argumentative narrative
If we're talking about the number of championship franchises, adding another 10 years serves only to increase the number of championship franchises which weakens your "watered down" argument. You should care since you think the league is "watered down" despite having 4 unique champions in the past 4 years with two more different teams being 2 of the 4 favorites for the upcoming season. Didn't I list 12 in the past 30 years? How are you getting 9 in 40+ years?
I Am not right, it just actually happened for the whole world to see when the Warriors won 73 in the 2016 season pre KD and didn't win 70 games in the reg. season in like 4 seasons with KD, it is what it be now you did get owned / schooled on our entire back n forth convo, nothing more nor less
And then you provided the definitions for both words which makes it seem like they're synonyms. What am I missing here?
Because if you got back to the 80's with Lakers / Celtics and Pistons, that eliminates 3 teams right there that you added in when you cut off the previous decade, so they don't get added for the next 30 since they are already there in the 1980's winning titles, the Pistons won in 89 / 90 and 2004, the Lakers / Celtics dominated the 80's with the Sixers sneaking in a title as well in i think 83' season
Because a claim (assert) has more to do with stating a fact, which i gave you my opinion (two cents), which i said those are the same from my angle, you used claim, i said opinion / two cents
Since the 1980's (42 years) Lakers / Celtics / Pistons / Bulls / Rockets / Spurs / Warriors / Heat with the Sixers / Mavs / Bucks / Raptors each winning 1 ship, so 12 in a 42 year span, i was off by 2 since i stated 9/10 and 12 out of 42 is still a watered down league imagine shooting 12 out of 42 in the NBA game in and out, you would get destroyed by so called fanatics / media experts that's 8 teams hogging up all the titles in that 42 yr span
That doesn't make sense. They wouldn't be eliminated....they would still be there. If anything, adding 10 more years would add Philly so there'd be 13 teams in 40 years. Fact of the matter is though, the league currently isn't watered down.
