All the crap he was leaking out of his pie hole about Kawhi being a system player and him joining a 73-9 team to score him a easy title...I'll never give the dude credit. Never liked him anyways. Like the Warriors needed him, it helped obviously but I'm sure they would have been fine without him. Had a great team in OKC...his team, but was unable to coexist with his teammates. Maybe just bad coaching. But no...he had to jump on on the bandwagon or freight train to get to where he wanted to be. Oh no...don't stick it out and continue to build with the team who drafted you and be that special player when and if you do win the title. But to call our guy a system player is a slap in the face to himself, cause he played in a system that helped his sorry ass get a cheap title! PATHETIC! And I sure as heck didn't know that was their franchises 5th title! That sucks to....The Spurs need to get their 6th real soon! |

Its like liking an up and coming band that used to only play at small venues and then they make it big and play at huge arenas. You may not like the band as much but they did the right thing and sold out. Make the money make some money! |

Legacy???? haha look at LBJ. He skipped town on Cleveland and put together a dream team in Miami, then went back to Cleveland when they were in a better spot and is still only 3-5 in finals (should be 2-6 if it wasn't for Ray Ray's 3 in 2013) yet he is constantly compared to MJ for some reason. His legacy does not seem to be hurt by him leaving Cleveland and he left in total douchebag mode. Draymond got suspended for one game.... big whoop. He played in games 6 and 7 and they still lost. Curry may be gimpy but most players are in June. Melo??? haha that man can't play defense to save his life. Durant plays both ends and that helped GS's defense since they lost important defenders that had size in Bogut and Barnes. If Durant stayed on OKC this year he would be going on a decade without winning it all and not a lot of promise for the future with having to play with Westbrook and capped with team spending $$$. He did the right thing and got his. |

And for those of you that rag on KD I will expect you to rag on any big name free agent that joins the Spurs because they can't win on the current team they just played for. If KD joined the Spurs this past summer I am sure you wouldn't have had a problem with it. And before you give me the "KD lost to the team that he went to' crap big deal.... If we want to talk about "not going to the enemy" then let's talk about the real enemy which is Lebron James who KD lost to in Finals in 2012. That bad taste stuck with him for 5 years and he wanted his revenge. I don't buy the whole "enemy" thing with GS. It's not like OKC and GS had this big rivalry or anything. They played each other once and KD lost. If he wants to beat Lebron then he did the right thing. I can't knock him for that nor will i judge his "legacy" for it haha.

Yes LeBron went to the Heat, but they collectively built that team around them in a sense. I think him going back to Cleveland was still the similar situation...moving the first pick for Love the Kyrie came into his own after all star weekend. What KD did would be like Magic, Bird, Ewing joining Jordan win they won 72 games. Business wise, of course it's good. But that'll be his legacy one way or the other. If we got Paul or someone else it'll be to fill the void of our now aging point guard. Which I don't think that's happening. Now if LeBron would have joined the Spurs after 2014, then I would constitute that as crap. But now it's over and done, he got his ring and finals MVP like Kawhi, but unlike Kawhi he didn't have the grit to ride his own train and rely on the franchise to put pieces around him. Hell, if it wasn't for a couple of million, OKC would easily have possibly the three best players at their respective positions. Duncan, LeBron, Wade, Parker, Manu and Bosh all took pay cuts the get decent pieces around them to make title runs. Garnett took all that money in Minnesota and couldn't win a title there either. Like you said...Business wise good...Legacy, not so good. That'll be his dark cloud. But at least the Spurs didn't start that trend...Now they just have to figure a why how to keep up, especially if development is their route. Last edited by MRJONESIII; 06-13-17 at 05:22 PM. |

You can say he made the right decision.. If the right decision is pulling the veteran move and going to a historic team that doesn't need you to win a title... Then yes he did... He just better prep for people to talk about that fact for years to come. Maybe if he didn't choke multiples times with a strong okc team, then the criticism wouldn't be so bad...

Well... I could argue they cheated SA with that dirty Zaza... But sure other than that he won fair a d square.. But that isn't really the argument..

Finally, I think that if KD would've had a Tristan Thompson or even a Kevin Love type of series, then people would've said he gravy trained his way to a championship. He became the best player on a team that went 73-9 the previous year and many of those guys on that team deferred to him during these Finals. People will only talk about how he averaged 35pts a game against LBJ and how he was the best player on this championship team during these Finals. |

Yes, he had a great series, but how could he not? They have 4 all-stars. Who is Cle going to guard? Durant could go one on one and have his way with any team. Yes, it's a plus that he went against LBJ and was successful, but think about CLE and who carried the load. It was said that the CAVS were like -12 when LBJ sat out 2 minutes or something crazy. LBJ IS the team. Durant could take off quarters when he wanted then come back and score. LBJ didn't have that luxury. |

Paul to the Spurs is only...because Tony is pretty much on his way out. If we'd got Paul 4-5 years ago then yes. Durant is a game changer and there are only about 5-8, true game changers in the league. Imagine if he went to Washington...that would've been the move. That would have vaulted the Wizards into ECF territory and possible Cav dethroners and a possible force in the east for years to come. |

"If Durant didn't win finals mvp, Curry wold have. It really doesn't matter if Melo doesn't play D... They don't need him to with all that fire power... Surely you don't truly believe that melos average d is the deal Breaker .. Like surely you don't believe Horry was saying that Manu was hurt and didn't do what he was supposed to do with kobe LOL..." I truly believe that they needed Durant's defense. Defense was a big part of what GS does. CLE's biggest problem was that they could not defend well. Durant still won the MVP regardless of your "Curry would have won" LOL (But Curry did not correct?) so Durant was still a difference maker. If Melo is on GS instead of Durant I see them struggling much more vs a healthy Spurs team (and possibly losing to said Spurs team.... They wouldn't lose to SA with Durant though IMO) and CLE and possibly even Houston. You can say that Durant went to a 73 win team all you want but that was a 73 win team that did not win the Finals without him and then turned around and won it with him. In regards to Horry.... My argument is that Ginobili did not do the scoring he needed to for the Spurs to win in 2008. The guy that wrote the article I provided had a different reason (defense on Kobe). I agree with you that Bowen was on Kobe most of the time. That was not the basis for my argument (although Gino did cover Kobe at times). My argument was that if you take your leading scorer for the season in 2008 and he scores single digits in 3 out of the 5 games because of injury you aren't winning and I believe that is what Horry was responding to originally when he said "You only got yours because" to Paul. I have been bringing up Gino (2008) for years because I truly believe he was the reason Spurs did not make it to Finals in 2008. You still have yet to provide why you would think that 2006 is the year Horry was mentioning to Paul LOL. You can think what you want and I can think what I want but I at least backed it up with solid reasoning. There is no solid reasoning that Horry would say 'You only got yours Paul" for 2006 since Celts did not even come close to winning it all in 2006 LOL. Now, he may have thought about 2006 towards the rest of the convo when he said "I should have had 10 championships" but 2006 was not the basis for the argument that he started with LOL. |

Yes...a 73 win team with an injured curry who anyone with eyes and a brain could see he was not right... He was right prior to the playoffs... Thus they won 73 games.. I truly believe they didn't need KD at all.... Because they haven't in the past...and GS wouldn't lose to SA with Durant? Well they were getting punished prior to Kawhi going down.. And Durant looked flustered... Imo they still win with Carmelo(all assuming Kawhi still gets injured) because they have won before with Klay curry and draymond... And again if curry was 100 and Dray wasn't an idiot.. They prob win back to back,.. Without KD... And correct curry did not win mvp.. He didn't need to... Pretty certain they wanted kd to take home the award..

Robert Horry called out Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for no reason on ESPN | For The Win as far as GS.... Losing Bogut and Barnes was a big loss to their defense. Durant helped make up for that. And when I say SA would not beat GS with Durant Im talking about in the whole series not just one game. Spurs would probably end up taking 1 or 2 games but not winning the series. And if you think they (SA) could win the series healthy like you stated above then obviously GS would need more than just Durant lol. You make no sense. |
