chic2pimp: There are certain women sports that are worth watching like tennis and volleyball and thats because the lack of physical power and athleticism doesn't detract from the aesthetics. For basketball or socce, the full aesthetics of the game can only be realized at the highest combinations of skill and athleticism. It isn't just that women's basketball isn't watchable, general NBA fans rarely even have any interest in lowly ranked NBA teams talkless of watching WNBA. |

zopaks:Thankgod someone is seeing what I'm seeing. Westbrook has been phenomenal this season, and yesternight was another testament to his MVP credentials. His clutch time shots have been matched by no one else. And yes, another TD to go with, what some of us don't like to hear of. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:23pm On Mar 28, 2017 |
lolawilliams:Lol your boys no try for you yesterday oh. Its a mystery as to why your defence is so historically bad for a defending champion. Lue is a very lucky guy, David Blatt did not play this badly before he got fired. These Cavs would not make top 4 in the Western Conference tbh. Anyway its still too early to write y'all off but the writing is on the wall. Ahh so you are a Madridista? Lol you and I are meant to be ![]() |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:28pm On Mar 28, 2017 |
As long as he keeps beating Timberwolves and Sixers with this TDs. He deserves to be the MVP. Let Harden keep beating Spurs, Cavs, GSW and OKC enroute to placing his team firmly third with 51 wins. Those things don't count. Triple doubles do. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 3:12pm On Mar 28, 2017 |
despite the beat down yesterday,the spurs are still the best option for the cavs out of the west after then maybe the rockets. warriors get rocket and spurs for back to back games,i hope say harden hand dey alright. |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 3:33pm On Mar 28, 2017 |
A40: They've been playing like crap,they defend by switching and that causes endless unnecessary mismatches. They play small even though it's an obvious liability. Small ball only works when you have a solid rim protector and above average defenders everywhere else and they have neither. We're not even establishin any rhythm and momentum for the playoffs. Lue still needs to be an assistant coach. but i still believe no eastern team would beat us in a 7 game series. And as for the finals against a western team..... Until then ![]() You will tell me if Madrid is Arsenal or Ausburg ![]() |
Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 4:46pm On Mar 28, 2017 |
One thing is certain in NBA, LeBron is going to the finals. You actually believe any team in the east can beat LeBron in a 7 games series? West is a beast definitely but no one in the east is challenging the Cavs. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:10pm On Mar 28, 2017 |
Manutd19:That's why the East is dang weak. Weaker than weak. For a Cavs who would struggle to beat The Jazz in 7 to waltz though to the finals, mehn, need I say anymore? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:17pm On Mar 28, 2017 |
Eruditor:Lol lol lol ![]() ![]() How has Bron Bron fared against the big boys? Does that take anything away from him? When history is being sung 10yrs from now, do well to remind those who care to listen that "all the TDs" were against non-playoff bound teams. You may also want to emphasise it that his rebounds were stage managed and defenders cut him loose so he could attack the rim. Give credit where it's due man. 4 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 7:14pm On Mar 28, 2017 |
sapiosexual1: I have never taken anything away from him. He should get the scoring champion trophy and the triple double one too. MVP? That's another different conversation. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 1:36am On Mar 29, 2017 |
Steph please stop those passes. I beg you. I pray we play locked-in defence so we can rest Klay, Steph and Draymond against Spurs tomorrow. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 1:55am On Mar 29, 2017 |
This is what we call defense.. ![]() |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 1:56am On Mar 29, 2017 |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 2:07am On Mar 29, 2017 |
Eruditor:Here is when the referees do help Houston's offense. Draymond needs to do more than just defense. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:10am On Mar 29, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: The FTs on Harden for the 3. The FTs on Néné were phantom. Rockets have shot 17/19 FTs to GSWs 1/2. This type of homecooked refereeing is unbearable. Now Curry has 3 fouls. I think Javale should play and Curry should drive more to dish out fouls on Harden and Beverly. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:24am On Mar 29, 2017 |
Busy day tomorrow. I am going to bed. Hoping to wake up to see that we won. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:55am On Mar 29, 2017 |
lolawilliams:I don't really know why they do that. And I'd also say some of your guys have not played even passable defense. Kyrie cannot guard anybody, Lebron blows hot and cold, the problem is largely systemic. I'd also add that even your new additions Korver, Williams are even worse. I still think the Cavs can up the ante in the playoffs. One of the perks of playing in the East, you could always get the Bucks or Pistons to use as crash test dummies Bayern is on a mission. Don't forget our coach was your former manager and your coach was his omo ise. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:02am On Mar 29, 2017 |
SmooshCHN:Its incredible just when I thought he would step up this year. Even with the addition of K.D his numbers offensively are unacceptable. He can be a 12-15pt a game scorer. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 3:43am On Mar 29, 2017 |
rockets dull this game. they won't call this many fouls in the playoffs. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:45am On Mar 29, 2017 |
Eruditor:Houston won. Lol ![]() Even when the refs did all they could. We still held on. Matt Barnes did pretty good. A40:The addition of Durant eased everyone's load on offense and defense but while he was healthy Green kept his defensive power.. Now KD is down, he still keeps playing l good defense but come playoffs, he has to turn it up. KDs injury is a blessing in disguise. The bench has woken up and after the 3 straight poss the starters have learnt to hustle. I'm happy for that. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:56am On Mar 29, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:Thank God many agree the free throws are too much |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 10:31am On Mar 29, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: LOL. Saw they almost gave them 40FTs in that game. My only anger now is that Curry missed 3 FTs which should never happen. It is a shame they let him take hits as if he is LBJ but the flipside to it is, it will strengthen him come playoff time and prepare him psychologically as that is the only way teams mark him. Happy with Matt Barnes' contributions and Iggy has been something else since his back fully healed. Now people can understand why he was not himself against Cavs last finals. We forced Harden to shoot garbage percentages but in his defence, he got his wrist hit and swollen against OKC. My guess is, Mike D'Antoni will rest him against us at Oracle. I hope our players have enough in them to take a win at San Antonio. We need to seal top spot and beat them once without KD (it would go a long way mentally). Saw that Green still put up 19pts despite his bad start with those air ball 3s. That's huuuuge. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 10:35am On Mar 29, 2017 |
S/O Steve Kerr. Fastest to 200 regular season wins. 200-38. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:15am On Mar 29, 2017 |
SmooshCHN:Matt Barnes was a very useful addition. Na for playoffs una go see him use well well especially with his ability to be a nuisance to the other team. As for Green you have to give it to him. The guy is a warrior. 19pts is more like it. In the absence of K.D he shouldn't be doing single digit points. He's better than that 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:54pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
A40:I agree |
