Harden 3-17 for 15 points and 8 turnovers

Nice logic to even laugh at a team like the thunder losing to a team like the cavs lmao

Scrub fest vs last year champion

What u keep forgetting is that i never made any claims saying the thunder can beat the cavs warriors spurs etc...cough cough mexi and the rockets

All ive said is that they will make the playoffs and russ will be this years mvp. So far , im on point , so a loss to the Cavs is exactly whats supposed to happen when u have scrubs as your teammates

Wrong on the MVP part

 

[BNC]

And typical for Paulius to shy away from questions he can't answer or come up with some way to spin it

Harden 3-17 for 15 points and 8 turnovers

[CameronCrazy06]

Westbrook's team can't afford for him to stop shooting

incorrect
 
he's a great mid range shooter, just not a good 3pt shooter

Why should players be loyal when owners aren't? It makes no sense. They should look out for what's best for them and only what's best for them
 
Don't shy away from that question, why should players be loyal when the owners are not?

 
 

Just wait on it, im in no rush

 
 
Answer that

Have to be loyal to an organization that drafted you, gave you a chance as an 18/19/20 year old kid, and paid you all that money

If shady stuff starts going on inside the organization tho , thats different

If theyre loyal to you , then you should be loyal back. If not , then fuck them , yes i agree with you but every scenario/player/situation is different

Have to be loyal to the team that has the opportunity to draft you because you're forced into a system where you're not allowed to choose your employer? That doesn't make sense. The Thunder didn't KD a chance as a 19 year old kid, they had the opportunity to select a generational talent to their team and had the chance to pay him all that money. Every organization in the league is going to be "loyal" to KD because he's an un-replaceable talent, that doesn't make them actually loyal. KD, and every player, needs to make choices that best serve them and their wishes, that doesn't mean stay in the same job you were forced into at 19 years old.
 
Why should KD be loyal to them when they proved they'll easily move on from players without any thought?

Kobe was really loyal to the hornets

KDs situation is different and ive said this a million times. Its not about him leaving its WHO he chose.

Him leaving wasnt the problem, the problem was that he went to a team that had a core who just had a 73-9 season , who has the best shooting backcourt in the history of the game , who has a two time mvp , who has arguably the best defender in the league , who arguably has a 6moy on their bench , and who just beat him and came back from a 3-1 deficit.

Thats just soft. Its lebron soft × 10

A true competitor would have went to a team like the Celtics for example , who didnt just win a ring without him a year before first of all lol, but a team who would be clearly competing for a first seed with the Cavs. A true competitor would wanna take down the guy who has been to 6 straight finals in the ECF , the guy who he has been chasing and trying to pass up, and then take on the challenge and beat the warriors. Now THAT would make him a legend and the best player in the league. Now , haha , u think anyone will respect him or even give a shit about him even if he does win a ring or two by joining a team who has proved they can win without him? Lol, naahh. Piggyback ring , thats all , but hey! As long as hes happy , no fan will judge his resume

These things mean literally nothing
 
And yea tons of people are still gonna respect him. Wasn't he voted as an All-Star starter? Russ wasn't. I'd say that's a sign of respect. He's also gonna make first team All-NBA cause most people aren't that salty about his decision
 
Yea he's probably happy with his decision and to him that's literally the only thing that matters. He's still a first ballot hall of famer, now he's just gonna get to win some more titles and have some more fun

Russ was voted in by PLAYERS and MEDIA number one. Those same players who play vs him. Thats respect from your own peers. Those same players and media had curry third. Those same clown fans who almost got zaza in , had the golden boy curry number one. Thats a sign of fan voting for ya so go figure

Not even sure why youre bringing in an all star game into this lmao. Who gives a fuck , people in 10-20 years will certainly remember him taking the biggest softest shortcut in nba history. Especially if they dont win , that will be quite hilarious for ages

 

[Paulius]

After being informed Westbrook didn't get the starting nod, Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers told ESPN: " I am just shocked the fans don't see the same thing we see."

Fans know tho huh lmao
