this is why kawhi will never be better than lebron...
no because his a choker 6-22
chose wrong team? are you kidding me:DDDDDDDDDDDDD? OMEGALUL
he was better last year. i have nothing with that. my point was more or less that he wont be better in general/overall.
tbh i think steph curry is overhated for having 0 fmvps even tho he clearly deserved it in 2015 and arguably in 2018
top nba players would go
1. lebron (although i highly doubt he will hold it for much longer)
2. healthy KD
3. curry
4. kawhi
5. Giannis
6. ad
7. harden
8. luka
9. Jokic
10. KD if achilles actually gets to him
but like I said it changes all the time
I don't think that he is overheated. He is considered as the best shooter in history and I agree with that... But imo he was never better as a player. As a whole package imo...
But it's just my opinion ofc:)
should i remind you of the time when a prime lebron got clamped by 5'10 jj barrea?
Wow bad period in 17 seasons...
wow bad series in 9 seasons
or should i remind you of the time when kd sonned lebron?
How is this even relevant to what I said about LeBron and kawhi tho?
LeBron was carrying teams almost all the freaking time. 17 seasons...
All players had bad periods so I rly don't understand what so you even try to say...
how does it relate? well youre saying kawhi can never be better lebron because of this series but lebron has had way worse post seasons in his career
but lebron was ALWAYS under the pressure. he was always the one who was blamed and also always the one who took responsibility for fails.
you mentioned KD but where did KD play? you dont care about that right? did kd shit on him before? oh well...you also mentioned previous fails but again, you didnt mention bosh or wade being injured. kyrie or love being injured.
lebron is there for 17 seasons. 17 seasons under the pressure and he was almost always able to deliver individually even when he hadnt help at all and they lost. kawhi had everything what it takes this season, they made that team to beat the crap out of lebron and they werent able to reach even conf final and meet him after 3:1 leading and he is one of the biggest reason behind it.
and even if we look at mvps, titles, points, assist etc etc. who is better? lebron...
you cant deny that this was big fail from whole clippers and especially kawhi and pg and you also cant deny that if we look at them in their career overall or even now(this season with lebron being freaking 35) then lebron is way more complete player with better and more consistent performances. under the pressure or not.
i was maybe exaggerating bit. kawhi is amazing player ofc and still "only" 29 years old but this was his franchise/legacy play off and he failed.
Tbh I would stay in raptors if I were him. Lakers would be my second option.
Clippers was bad decision
EZ FOR NUG`GETS GOAT PASSING CENTER J0KIC
I kinda expected people blaming rivers which just isn't fair
i didnt mean that it wasnt his fault at all. he has his share but he surely isnt the only reason why they failed
when a team underachieves and fails to overachieve for 15 straight seasons then u gotta question doc
lets take a rewind past 15 years
2005 ~ lost first round (expected)
2006 ~ miss playoffs weak east (underachieve)
2007 ~ miss playoffs (expected since pierce injured)
2008 ~ won ring (lakers were injured, needed 7 to get past first 2 rounds, expected not overachieved)
2009 ~ lost 2nd round 60+ wins (expected since KG hurt)
2010 ~ lost finals (slight overachieve)
2011 ~ lost 2nd round (expected)
2012 ~ lost conf finals (1st seed bulls rose was hurt so easy path, expected)
2013 ~ lost 1st round (underachieve)
WENT TO LAC
2014 ~ lost 2nd round (blew huge lead vs okc, underachieve)
2015 ~ lost 2nd round (blew 3-1, underachieve)
2016 ~ lost 1st round (underachieve)
2017 ~ lost 1st round (underachieve)
2018 ~ missed playoffs (underachieve)
2019 ~ lost 1st round (pretty good tbh given his roster)
2020 ~ blew 3-1 with champion favorite roster (massive underachieve)
is this a great coach?
but is he the only one who should be blamed !this! season? where was kawhi? pg? is this really only docs fail that those players choked AF and werent able to perform the way that they were able to perform whole season under the same coach? that those players were average under the pressure(pg already showed that before btw so you just CANT blame doc for that)?
their gameplan was kinda good if you ask me. they didnt maybe find a way how to counter joker(bcs its 1.hard and also 2.i dont think that clippers have that kind of a player) BUT they had tons of uncontested shots. their system worked and that was a reason why they were ahead in almost every single game and you just cant blame doc for 37.8% from the field and 25.7% from 3s and you cant blame doc for pg having 10 points in 38 minuts and kawhi(who is...oh well at least was...considered as the best player in the league) 14 points in 43 minutes.
they were missing easy shots in good positions.
btw i dont want to exuse doc at all. i said myself that he has his share there. my only point is that blaming only him makes no sense. you can be the best coach in the world but you wont win if your players cant perform and their 2 stars just didnt
i dont think there is ever a situation where a coach is entirely at fault
even the worst coaches would be successful if u just stacked their deck, like doc in 2008
but this notion that doc is a great coach, or even a good coach, needs to end immidiately
his track record is atrocious
It's not fair to blame the coach who's lost the most Game 7s by any coach in history? It's the same thing every year with Doc, he consistently underachieves with rosters that were built to win it all. We saw it with the Lob City Clips and now we're seeing it with this current iteration. Also this isn't the first time the Doc has blown a 3-1 lead, he blew one back in 2015 against the Rockets in an even more embarrassing fashion. Anyways Doc might be a good motivator (not sure anymore after tonight's performance) but his days as a winning coach are numbered.
and why dont you also blame pg and kawhi? their 2 big stars that choked REALLY HARD and didnt show up in the most important moments. just look at their performance, look at their stats.
its alwas easy to blame only the coach(just like igls in cs) but what can you do if your players have 37.8% from field and 25.7 from 3s?
doc surely should be blamed as well. im not saying that it also isnt his fault but blaming only him is imo stupid. this was the time where kawhi had to show up. where he had a chance to show that he is indeed the best player atm. all eyes were on him and he failed individually really hard. 14 points in 43 minutes? pg 10 points in 38 minutes?
the liquid of NBA
why u do this :(
Playoff P woke up feeling dangerous today, had a lot of impact, but for the wrong team
