I’m not gonna argue player v player, Steph and KD are HOFers, Draymond is an all time defender whether you want to admit it or not and his all around game is incredible, and Klay is an all time shooter. The reason these Warriors are better than any other team in history, besides the athletes (as a whole) being much better, the efficiency of the 3 point shot is what wins any series for the Warriors. The volume and efficiency wins a 7 game series, easy. 3 points>2 points all day. The Warriors wouldn’t even need to go to the interior, and when they did Draymond would have Rodman on the perimeter and any of the Warriors 4 would run circles around who Luc Longley? Lol.

Golden state wasn’t even in the top 15 in 3point attempts per game this year. They were number 1in efficiency though

Can you imagine having the gall? A professional golfer with a US Open title and career earnings of almost $20 million, and your wife is telling you "you need to play better, you loser!" after you miss a cut? Not to mention attacking your own mother.

He didn’t miss the cut - I don’t think. Was still playing Saturday, but was well back. Withdrew from the tournament given the events of Saturday night.

Warriors take good shots and move the ball passing. They don’t stand and dribble like many other teams. They pass the ball quickly and make quick decisions which leads to easy buckets and open threes. Steph Klay and KD are going to make open threes regularly

Who played the best game you’ve ever seen as a Tennessee fan? I am youngish, so mine is Kamaras performance against Texas A&M. I know we lost that game, but man what a game he played for us in that one. (I may or may not be trying to lead us away from basketball, not that I hate basketball but a month of Jordan versus Bron is enough.)

Let’s talk about the Vols a little more.

What will be our shortcomings this year?

Who wins the QB job in fall camp?

Who is the starting running back because Pruitt certainly never truly seemed happy with any of the RBs.

Who on the defense will step forward and lead this unit this fall? Leader in sacks? Interceptions? Tackles?

Can Cimiglia cement himself as the starting kicker or does he lose that job to some new walkon?

What freshman has the biggest impact for us this year?

Who has a bigger year at WR, Callaway or Brandon Johnson?

There’s a lot we can talk about and this was all off the top of my head. I understand some offtopic, but when Tennessee becomes the offtopic conversation that’s when this thread is the worst at least in my opinion.

What will be our shortcomings this year? The fans. Battered Vol Syndrome. We gotta get on board ,come on in for the big win.

Who wins the QB job in fall camp? I am gonna go with Chryst. Nothing against JG. Just think they want a seasoned hand.

Who is the starting running back because Pruitt certainly never truly seemed happy with any of the RBs. By committee . May depend on opponent.

Who on the defense will step forward and lead this unit this fall? Leader in sacks? Interceptions? Tackles?Tuttle for all. Why? Just like him and hope he stays healthy.

Can Cimiglia cement himself as the starting kicker or does he lose that job to some new walkon?I hope so. I got nothin' kickers get no respect

What freshman has the biggest impact for us this year?
Banks
Who has a bigger year at WR, Callaway or Brandon Johnson?Jennings. He wants to get paid. Now is the time

I hate Lebron. If he can jump and touch the top of the backboard Jordan would tell him quit trying to grab my azz.

Listen... I get that this is off topic, and it’s nit everyone’s cup of tea, but this is the off season. There would literally be about 10 posts per day in here if there was no off topic discussion. Yes, it could be moved elsewhere, but we all know the regulars who post in here, and I certainly am not about to go filtering through other forums looking for discussion.

The fact is, this is a “catch all” thread for this forum, that will always default to football when relevant discussion is offered. I personally don’t mind some lively intelligent debate in meaningless subjects such as chocolate and GOAT for whatever sports. It offers a temporary distraction from real world problems and helps to break my day a bit.

If you would prefer a 10 post in a day off season type of thread, you are entitled to your opinion, but it is obvious by the non-personal back and forth volleying that many like to interact, and judging by the mods passivity on the issue, they seem to be fine with it too.

Great points, Nick. However, from my personal perspective, it is not the fact that it is off topic. It is the fact that the topic we continue to rehash is stale. No one is adding anything new to the discussion about Lebron vs. Jordan. We are never going to agree and it does get tedious reading the same arguments over and over. Now, having said that, how is the food where you live?

Yeah, when they win it’s all Lebron. When they lose it’s the teams fault. Typical

OK, you can't be serious here. You cannot argue with his production. You have a bias against him. Admit it and move on. You just look weak when you make these kind of ridiculous arguments. Not as weak as you look when you say The Natural is a bad move, but still, very weak.

Lulz...people acting like the Celtics are just a bunch of bums. Brown, Tatum, Rozier, Horford, and Smart. Yeah they're not bums...you wanna talk about bums...talk about the Cavs minus LeBron. Celtics are more talented and athletic than the Cavs. They actually play as a team and have probably a top 3 coach in the league.

I also think that the Celtics have the best coach in the NBA.

What Kelley Washington did to LSU was a joy to watch. Our only win vs Saban too.

11 catches 256 yards

Mavs had two hall of famers on that team, plus JET, DMVP Tyson Chandler etc...

Idk why people undervalue how great Dirk is


But Kobe won 2 with Gasol who Imo isn’t even close to being HOF

Who was the next best player? Bynum? He had like 4 good years

Artest? He was basically a defense only player
Click to expand...

Artest wasn’t at his prime with the lakers but man he was really good with the Pacers while being the best defender probably in the league. I remember hearing him on cowherd and he said he played at about 260-270 while guarding 2s and 3s. Would’ve made a hell of a Tight end.

The PGA now does a provisional 54-hole cut for most tournaments if they have over a certain number of players make the 36-hole cut. From what I can gather, that's what initiated the argument.
