First, let me say I have no clue why you mentioned Conley in a reply to me. I’ve never so much as uttered his name in these discussions. I LOVE Mike Conley. Have said that countless times, through the years.

>Fact is Russ has played with way more talent and has nothing
>to show for it except for beating Oscar Robertson’s record

Agreed. Nothing to debate there. How many players do we know like this, though? Winning a chip is fucking hard. Also, I hardly think breaking a record, once thought unbreakable, should be a pejorative.

Game 6 of the WCF. KD shit the bed. I’ve watched it more times than is healthy.

>He got better with Steph and Klay because the offense

100%. GS had a better offensive system. One that revolved around having two of the greatest shooters the league has seen…and he eventually found that not fun, anymore.


>Harden is much better . Have you seen how he transformed his
>game upon arriving in Brooklyn?
Harden is not any better in Brooklyn, than he was when he left Houston. He plays a different role. He can’t dribble til there’s two seconds left on the clock and kick it out to PJ Tucker waiting in the corner, if he doesn’t shoot. I hear these announcers acting like he just learned to pass, last month and it’s crazy. James has ALWAYS been a very willing passer and damned good at it. Kyrie literally told him, he’s the PG, so that what he’s doing. The fuckin dude is incredible at basketball and he has been for some time.


Do you think Russ is capable

>conducive to team wins ? He did that in Houston. It was discussed by fans and analysts, alike.

>Mac says he’s a bum. You say he’s elite . You two can
>figure it out .
Nothing to figure out and please show me where I said he was elite. You said he got better after he left Russ and that’s patently false. 2018 in OKC, he was 3rd in MVP voting and had his best season of his career. That’s not even arguable. He hasn’t been nearly as good with the Clipper…next to Kawhi and a team built to take over LA. He shit the bed in the bubble and is about to get put out in the first round by Luka and Tim Hardaway’s son.
