    Doog homeriffic parallels don't really work cross referenced with the NBA. Not much similarity and a pretty gross oversimplification to just say winners win when the entire construct is laughable bullshit.

    CFB > NBA by a thousand and there's little in common.

    I expect this kind of contextless drool post from tequilla or salem or another "viewed as a retard by 81% of the bored" poaster but not from you. You're out of my top ten list!!!!!!!!!
    I love you too homie.

    Suggesting the last two rings are illegitimate is doog shit though.

    Winners win. This is like the foundational creed of this bored. Trying to asterisk championships you don't like is Bill Fleenor PREDoubt level bullshit.

    You're better than that.
    So Durant's two titles with GS are better than LeBron's one with the Cavs?

    Where did I say that?

    For individuals yeah degree of difficulty matters.

    For teams, a ring's a ring.

    I'm completely confused by the Lakers right now. If they end up trading 3 of kuz/ingram/hart/ball/randle for Kahwi, and keep all these misfits, I can only assume Lebron wants to cement his legacy as undisputed #1 by winning a championship with the worst supporting cast ever. (Not saying Kahwi is a misfit, he's great. The rest however...)

    I mean I'm pretty high on rondo but he's similar enough to lonzo that i'd rather keep lonzo. I guess if theyre positioning for a kawhi trade it makes sense? Maybe?

    Randle gone.

    But how are Pelinka and Magic piloting a rudderless ship. LeBron probably called them and said. “Hey, you guys prolly heard I’d like to be in LA next year and don’t really wanna play for the 2nd fiddles. So if you’d like to have me, just fax over a contract and we’ll review, endorse and fax back. Thanks for your consideration. #23.”

    Alright I talked myself into it. There’s a reason Boogie didn’t get a big deal. That injury is really bad, he’s never getting back to the player he was. Golden State just threw away their best way to get a quality player. I like my Celtics in this one.

    GS doesn’t want Boogie past this year. And if He’s a fuck off the court this coming year, they’ll ship him to Brooklyn at the deadline. This is a cant lose deal.

    Kyrie is better than Steph. That’s proven fact.

    Klay is better than Oladipo.

    I’m starting Hayward at the 3, he’s better than Igoudala.

    Greek Freak is better than Durant.

    Embiid is better than Draymond.

    Cousins is a non factor coming back from a ruptured achilles.

    This is fake news.

    Somehow I think you actually believe this drivel, at least this week.

    Fuck you Jay, we’ve went over this. You’re not even mid level discussion material. All you deal is suck Brons rod and cry about Golden State.

    It’s borderline UUU.

    He may not even be ready to play until after the break. There is plenty to lose when he's a locker room cancer. Anthony Davis told NO's front office to not bring him back. The Pelicans were better without him - swept @haie's faggy Blazers.

    It’s not over for the Spurs and Kawhi. Tony Parker signs two year deal with Charlotte.

    Interesting Laker article focusing on Brandon Ingram. I hadn’t really thought about Lebron playing more in the post more which makes the moves they’ve made make more sense. Makes a strong case for the Lakers not trading for Kawhi unless they’re giving up very little.

    It sounds good, but I'm pretty sure Ingram isn't very good.

    I'm coming around on the Lakers, but I would send Ingram for Leonard in a second. Kuzma too.

    That must be why you love LeBron so much.
    I don’t find guys that dominate the ball for full possessions like LBJ or Westbrook particularly entertaining

    Those are the two and Curry are the most entertaining players in the league. I like 40-50 point games.

    Every half court set the Bulls ran was to Jordan.

    2nd title run I'd largely agree with that ... there was a lot more talent during the 1st run and Jordan didn't dominate the ball in those situations.

    Moreover, there's a difference between taking a lot of shots and dominating the ball.

    The second run was way more talented tf are you smoking? The 96 and 97 Bulls teams beat any of the other teams rather easily.

    Respectively disagree

    There were a lot of bums on the 2nd run … the offense was really muted with MJ, Scottie, and Kukoc really the only scoring options at that point.

    Even if you consider that the rosters were a push, I'll take the younger MJ and Scottie over the older versions of them (particularly true with Scottie).

    Yeah it’s possible. But if He’s in rehab and sitting in a seat above the Bench during games,it will be hard for him to influence the Dubs culture. Although a few Dubs did come out and say that the ship was sideways for a large part of last Season culture wise.

    Yeah, it's called Usage rate. I suggest you look up Jordan's versus Lebron's. Or don't. Stats are for loosers.
