birdman: You better no deceive the poor boy with LeBum's jersey! Give me your address make I send the boy Orijo Boston Celtics jersey. Or you give am Durant/Curry jersey...Thank Gos say you no even mention Rockets. More importantly, abeg, with the kain money wen we dey hear dis days, allow the boy play correct sports abeg! So dat one day, I fit come watch am live and say, "na my paddy pikin be dat oh" while you and madam can retire early. Truth of the matter is "Father Time" has finally caught up with Bum. To his credit, it took a while but it was obvious last season and everyone is so scared of stating the obvious. There is absolutely no way LeBum wins a chip with the Lakers without a combination of AD and extreme load management like we are seeing this season. He has stayed healthy for the most part of his career but the last 2/3 years have shown a gradual decline in his ability to stay healthy. You guys can sell the health of AD to me and I will listen but don't try to sell his performance/ relevance on the court since he joined the Lakers. AD's size and physical stats make it nearly impossible for him to stay healthy always. LeBum's physical decline has also accounted for the increase in jump shots especially threes and this was even before Drummond. He does absorb contact but you can see he is no longer doing a lot of those drives to the bucket. Gasol is a good option, don't know if he is the best option. The Lakers can do what they did last season if the game goes small/ fast, which is to play AD at the 5 and stay small without Gasol/ Drummond. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Roland17:Hmmm. On a one off night I will never bet against Steph Curry and the magic he is capable of. Teams send 3 guys his way and that can open up the game for his teammates. Also these Lakers are not a great 3 point shooting team so if the Warriors build a lead catching up might be tough for the Lakers. Anyway we shall see what Portland does because for all we know the Lakers might not end up in the play in if the Blazers lose to the Nuggets on Sunday |

The Wizards about to take 8th place from the Hornets tomorrow (they're both 33-38 and they play each other tomorrow). Then beat the Celtics in the play-in to win 7th position. Wizards vs Nets 1st round matchup. Brodie vs KD 1 Like

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:37pm On May 16, 2021 |
I don't care if we make 8th or 7th seed. The Jazz or Suns better avoid the Warriors. |

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:36pm On May 16, 2021 |
steady986: As expected, Wizards beat Hornets to take the 8th spot. They'll play Celtics in the 7th/8th play-in game and probably win. Nets vs Wizards 1st round it is. The basketball gods are good to us. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 9:41pm On May 16, 2021 |
Too many turnovers from SC although he has made some good passes. JTA, Wiggins and Poole are playing really big today. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 11:14pm On May 16, 2021 |
We did it. Bad start to the 4th Q but SC came through on what was a somewhat poor shooting night. He was getting clawed in his drives but all the same we would not have done this without him. Big game from Draymond Green and Wiggins. Good game from everyone else. We most probably won't beat the LAL if we faced but at least, it was a fun season. With Klay back we will be dangerous. |

@steady986, can you give Curry some accolades, please? |

That guy Ja Morant needs to do something about his shooting. They literally dared him to shoot a three. Such disrespect. Blueelf: |

Why's everybody trying their utmost best to avoid the Lakers in the first round na? The Nuggets are getting blown out by Portland and the Jazz blowing out the Kings. The Clippers lost to the freaking Thunder the other night. We're not even that good this year Plus LeBron is old and both he and AD are coming off of injuries. This is the best time to play the Lakers. I don't know what everybody is just doing. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:40am On May 17, 2021 |
benji93:For taking that decent team to the 8th place? One game above Ja Morant? Your team is 5th in defensive efficiency o, and it's not because of Curry. I've seen guys not nearly as talented as him do better with less help. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:11am On May 17, 2021 |
LeBron just aggravated his ankle. That's it for the season.

gargoyle: Not just the team. The injuries included. Oubre, Wiseman joined the injury list and GSW played an 8-man rotation. This G-league team were 1-8 when SC did not play and 37-26 with him. This was the SC that was supposed to get exposed or the one that CP3 had more impact than. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by gargoyle: 5:28pm On May 17, 2021 |
The so-called Ja Morant even posted Curry for MVP. So I don't know the problem? Some lebron fans are so myopic and parochial. Even if curry manages by some huge luck to win this season's championship, they'll say the refs favored him or GSW bribed their way through.... Funny set of people 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:12pm On May 18, 2021 |
Here is the plan for us (Celtics)..Avoid the Brooklyn Nets. We stand a better chance against the Sixers, we have their number and know how to beat them or make a game out of the series at worst. Lose to the Wizards tonight and beat the winner of the Hornets/ Pacers to get the 8th seed and play the Sixers. #greenrunsdeep |
