Sent from my SM-G900V using BtownBanners mobile app If you think Golden State is a better team without the guy who averaged 15/10/6 in that post-season, then I am absolutely astounded. How did he potentially cause them a championship? Because he didn't play? But he's a bigger negative than positive? Makes absolutely no sense. Quote
Dalton26 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 He's dirty but Draymond is definitely the glue to that team imo. He's one of the best do it all players in the league. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

Makes absolutely no sense.I'm not looking for an argument, I absolutely think he's one of the most complete players in the league.But there are hard fouls (Rambis), and there's dirty and cheap fouls.I just believe he falls in the latter. Just not a huge fan.Sent from my SM-G900V using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

BtownBanner6 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 What Green does now would be considered normal in the 80's(where there was arguably less real defense). Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appNo what Green does now would get him targeted by the rest of the league in the 80's. They would bust your nose not go for kicks below the belt. mdn82, waitingon6 and KingPG21 3 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Well, the Rockets season ended with a huge thud - or maybe dud - as the Spurs, minus 2 starters, kicked the excrement out of the Rockets in Houston no less by a score of 114-75. The Rockets 'go to guy' James Harden with a whopping 10 pts. on 2-11 shooting from the field. But Harden wasn't alone as the Rockets as a team only shot 28.6% and were out-rebounded by a margin of 60-37. 05.11.17 Playoff W/L W/L Min. Pts.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appWhat in the hell do stats tell you in regards to the conversation? Again you must have not watched much basketball in the '80s for some of the arguments you try and create. Because you have no clue what you are talking about on that decade on some of this stuff. Was that clearer for you? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app waitingon6 1 Quote

mdn82 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 It isn't an argument. The offense was better. There is a reason it is considered to be such a great time of basketball. Teams put up points without shooting 100 shots a game like the 60's and 70's. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appLook at what I responded to.

KingPG21 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 A dude averaged a triple double this year, and he did it with a team that outside of him was wildly inconsistent and mediocre. MVP is a regular season award, playoffs aren't included. Class of '66 Old Fart, HoosierAloha and mdn82 3 Quote
