i like draymond tbh, if i were a dubs fan i imagine it'd be like a "he may be an SOB but he's our SOB" situation
― marcos, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 18:54 (seven years ago) link
dray more likeable than both steph and klay imo
― marcos, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 18:55 (seven years ago) link
cmon steph is charming and klay is a v nice young man
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 18:56 (seven years ago) link
klay is good
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 18:57 (seven years ago) link
dray obv >> klay
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 18:58 (seven years ago) link
in terms of being good at basketball
steph is an urban legend he doesn't actually exist so i can't judge him
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 18:58 (seven years ago) link
anyone who thinks dray is better than klay at basketball shd be legally committed to an insane asylum
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 18:59 (seven years ago) link
dray is an incredible fit with the dubs but his game is... extremely flawed, klay on the other hand has mastered the single most important nba skill and is better than most at the second, and just goes out there and plays great team ball and doesnt really make any mistakes, drays career peak prob gonna be p short too since hes undersized and depends a lot on playing super hard
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:02 (seven years ago) link
theyre similar in that theyre both very valuable while also not cut out for being a teams best player
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:03 (seven years ago) link
in conclusion dray shd be traded to the bulls asap
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:05 (seven years ago) link
you know who cld play the dray role like one million times better than him, al horford
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:08 (seven years ago) link
― lag∞n, Wednesday, October 19, 2016 3:08 PM (two minutes ago)
lol sure if by play the dray role like a million times better you mean be a little worse at literally everything except shooting
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:13 (seven years ago) link
millsap would actually be a stronger argument
literally everyone thinks dray is > klay btw
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:14 (seven years ago) link

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:16 (seven years ago) link
the league is in the grips of an irrational dray mania which will be looked back upon, if its acknowledged at all, with bewilderment
i hope dray and kd have beef
remember when stojakovic finished like third in mvp votes, its like that

in retrospect, the turn from constant mockery of the cavs and bron's #messybitchdrama and massive enjoyment of the warriors to embrace of the former solely to maximize schadenfreude regarding the latter was p stark and fairly quick here - certainly less so than much of the rest of the internet, who got all they needed the second lacob opened his mouth to go full techbro/#arrogantszn

― ciderpress, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:35 (seven years ago) link
this is true, "warriors must be stopped" was your evergreen post
FTR, i am not judging either stance as wrong
― i've watched a lot of cats do weird and interesting things (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:37 (seven years ago) link
i think a big part of the narrative turn was their on-court behavior suddenly becoming messy in the offs e.g. draymond's nut-hunting coming to light and steph throwing a tantrum or whatever that was
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:41 (seven years ago) link
they got through the reg season pretty squeaky clean so it was harder for ppl to dislike them then

yea sloth otm here the switch was very quick, happened like after game 3 of the finals maybe? maybe even later. at whatever point it a dubs championship stopped being completely inevitable
― marcos, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:43 (seven years ago) link
i mean i am speaking for the board i was obv not a warriors fan though i had moments when i deeply admired them
― marcos, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:44 (seven years ago) link
hardcore sports fans are always gonna turn against success p fast is how i break it down, the masses of casual fans of course still fn love the dubs, and rightful they shd theyre a super awesome fun team
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:44 (seven years ago) link
draymond does stuff on the fastbreak that horford and millsap can't, which is a pretty important part of golden state's offense. evaluating those three guys is pretty context dependent and draymond is pretty much perfect for the warriors. given how durant makes them even more perimeter heavy i think dray is prob their most irreplaceable player. if he got hurt for a significant period of time or had to miss part of a playoff series i think they'd have real trouble defending the rim.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:52 (seven years ago) link
goon has been a dray hater for a while, was proved wrong, and has moved the goalposts since. i don't think horford could have put up 32/15/9 on 6-8 from three in game 7 like dray did... millsap has put up lines like that before but i think on the defensive end he's still less versatile than dray. ultimately i would take dray over those two even just for this season, tho again context is important and i'm not sure i.e. the celtics would rather have dray than horford for this season.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:54 (seven years ago) link
imo horford cld do those things on the fast break, dray is mostly operating in space in those situations while the defense gets sucked towards the dubs shooter, his ball handling is good but its a lil overrrated its not like hes breaking defenders down in the open court or anything
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:56 (seven years ago) link
you know yr argument is bad when ur like i dont think player x cld match this one weird game, of course he cld i mean its just one weird game
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:57 (seven years ago) link
and needless to say drays ball handling is only exceptional for a center which is a position he plays not very much
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 19:59 (seven years ago) link
(but to great success in high leverage situations tbf)
horford can't push the ball at the speed draymond does off a rebound
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 October 2016 20:02 (seven years ago) link
not so sure abt that
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 20:03 (seven years ago) link
be interesting to see how the celtics use him in small lineups this year, they have an athletic team thats gonna run
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 20:04 (seven years ago) link
horford is old
that is the extent of my analysis

ALL IN ALL, it was not the best few months for Draymond Green. On June 10, during Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Cavaliers, some 20 million viewers caught him in the act of trying to slap LeBron James in the groin. Three days later, after being suspended for that act, he watched his Warriors lose by 15 before dropping Games 6 and 7 in the greatest collapse in Finals history. In early July, he was arrested in East Lansing, Michigan, on an assault charge resulting from a scuffle in a college bar. Later that month, Green accidentally sent out a photo of his penis to the world.
loool how did i miss that last part? i had no idea that happened
― marcos, Wednesday, 19 October 2016 20:33 (seven years ago) link
he snapped it out during team USA iirc
