Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

If he truly believed what he says, he wouldn't be so insecure about Steph ****ing Curry

It's nothing to be ashamed of. Firmly in the 1b tier with Kobe and Curry.

Oh for sure, I'm just saying as an MJ Stan, I'm definitely not losing sleep over Curry winning another title.

The fact that he is says a lot.

LeBron James playoff averages at age 40:

26.3 PPG - 9.5 RPG - 5.5 APG - 2.0 SPG - 2.3 BPG - 64.1% TS - 28.5 PER

He's the only player I've ever seen who makes his legacy worse by being good.

The MJ vultures are circling (as they always do whenever a LeBron team loses in the playoffs, despite the fact that MJ was a retiree at LeBron's age and washed well before that), but the good fight continues.

There will never be another like him.

Other notable players efficiency on go-ahead shots in the 4th Q/OT of playoff games:

Jokic - 57.3% eFG
Duncan - 54.1% eFG
Kawhi - 52.7% eFG
LeBron - 52.5% eFG
Allen - 49.3% eFG
Durant - 47.1% eFG
Harden - 41.5% eFG
Dirk - 41.0% eFG
Wade - 40.0% eFG…

I knew Steph was a playoff choker but this is fairly ridiculous.

KCC doing everything he can to reinforce the allegations.

It sure seems to have triggered YOU as well, huh?

I thought my post was very reasonable.

And factually accurate.


Oh well. Guess you can’t please everyone.

Does an opposing coach allow Steph to be played one on one in the 4th quarter of a playoff game?

[tyecopeland]

Man, this 1st round is starting to look like a KCC nightmare.

The Warriors getting blown out will never not be a beautiful sight. It's unfortunate this series isn't 3-2 Houston going back to GS as it should be though.

Yep. Rockets had them in game 1, but did not know how to close. They lost the series then. This game means absolutely nothing to GS. Unfortunately, they know exactly what they're doing.

Warriors always lose a game up 3-1

Sometimes they even lose 3 in a row from that position
