Everything Playoffs 2022 (Non-Raptors Thread)

[slaw]

So based on where this thread has gone I assume the playoffs have pretty much sucked?

[G__Deane]

That's a given.
Everyone knows what his role is in that team, in the regular season AND especially in this playoffs.

what's your REAL excuse other than just being a plain hater.

You're just continuing to be a jack azz, trying to create hate where there is none. Weak azz hate mongerer trying to turn a civil discussion about whether a player actually "deserves" a ring or just should get one, into a hate discussion. Others above seem to get it, you are clueless, the only question is whether you are trying to be for attention.

You've totally lost the plot. Cya

You didn't know that Wiggins is a starter and contributor?

No hating, don't be a jack azz.

You're starting (just starting to make more sense). Of course Marc deserved a ring playing on and contributing to a hip winning club.
So if you're saying Wiggins is starting and contributing so he deserves a ring, that different, of course he does.
But I took it (as it looks like most here did) that you were saying Wiggins is a good guy, worked hard and he Canadian! so he deserves one and to that I'd still call bullshit.

But again, stop the hating comments, it's so weak. I have zero reasons to hate on Wiggins, what's there to hate? A decent player that's never accomplished much to this point. Lots of those guys.

Wiggins is a starter.
it's not like he's a bench warmer or a practice player.
He plays a big part in that team. He deserves a ring.

Did Marc Gasol deserve his ring?
If your answer is yes, then why not Wiggins?
If No, then why not?


Stop hating, bro. It's so obvious.

Just because I think it's really hard to impossible to "deserve" one and he doesn't.

It's just a word and maybe you think it's a shame he hasn't won one or you like him and it would be cool to see him win one or cool to see a Canadian win one. No problem with that, but nah, he doesn't deserve one.

Ah, I get it now. Like how Jordan Loyd (aka random guy in a suit) gets a ring, but JV doesn’t even get a crackerjack box replica.

yes, exactly

[golden]

i don't really follow your questioning as i wasn't making any comparisons. just responding to the bolded part of keon's statement.

there are bus drivers and bus riders, like chuck said. and then there are the riders in the back of the bus firing spitballs and paper airplanes at the driver and it's a miracle the thing doesn't crash.

not sure those riders deserve a ring, contrary to keon's statement. that's all i was saying

Why are we comparing role players winning championship to MVPs who should be leading their teams to championships? Or at least finals.

Anyone who wins a ring deserves it. Nash didn't deserve it. Never got out of the 2nd round.

I know what you're saying but John Salley won 4, as many as Shaq, Manu, Tony Parker, McHale, Bird and Lebron.
As we know, Patrick McCaw deserved to win 3

[golden]

disagree.

also i miss the heyday of basketbawful

Yup, but his Nationality is Canadian.

Stephen John Nash, OC, OBC, basketball player (born 7 February 1974 in Johannesburg, South Africa). Steve Nash is widely considered the greatest Canadian basketball player of all time. He is a two-time National Basketball Association (NBA) Most Valuable Player (MVP) and the first Canadian to win the award. A point guard, Nash was an eight-time NBA all-star. He ranks third on the NBA’s all-time assists leaderboard with 10,335 and second in career free-throw percentage with 90.43 per cent. He represented Canada in international competition and led the Canadian Senior Men’s National Team to the quarter-finals of the 2000 Olympic Summer Games. Nash is a three-time winner of the Lionel Conacher Award as Canada’s best male athlete. He won the Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada’s top athlete in 2005. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada and has been inducted into the Order of British Columbia, Canada’s Walk of Fame, the Phoenix Suns Ring of Honour and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He was named to Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame on 27 May 2020 and will be formally inducted in 2021. He was named the head coach of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets on 3 September 2020.

Speaking of deserving... how come Larry Walker never got the Order of Canada? Or even OBC? He accomplished as much (maybe more) than Nash did in MLB. He's pretty much the Steve Nash of baseball. And, unlike Nash, he made a World Series (... and got swept, lol). And Walker's birth certificate actually says Canada.
