I just watched Clippers play 7mins+ without making a single basket. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

They torpedoed that team the second they traded KAT. They're not going to be a factor anytime soon.


Traded KAT for Randle. Traded mid for Gba.

Underdogs! y'all are second in the West. How about that? We see through your skirmishes, They are clear as day. Like Skrrrrrr have stated categorically, the addition of Luka makes you favorites to win. Quit the bitching!

Nah. You are just shameless.
All star is based off popularity votes and mean next to nothing. All star Wiggins average 17ppg in the regular season and 16ppg, in the playoffs that season. Anthony Davis has never averaged that low since his rookie season. Matter of fact, wanna guess who else averaged more than wiggins on Lebrons Team? Yeah, Russel westbrook..
You see how pathetic you bronsexuals appear?
Bron has never won the title with his second option averaging that low.
Kyrie average 20 in the season and 27 in the finals the season they won, that's more PPG than steph curry in the finals.
Wade averaged 22, in the two seasons they won the chip. Infact Wiggins, stats were slightly lower than that of chris bosh who was again a 3rd choice....
Abeg fess up. You no get talk.....
When they were fighting for the right to be underdogs vs Ja Morant is when I knew these people had no shame.

Think of any all time great paired with AD and they are expected to lose to Ja Morant

They are just a bunch of clowns.
Like Lebron would agree for his second best player to be andrew wiggins.
Man had Anthony Davis and was missing the playoffs. Always needing extra help...

Was the defense that good? Clippers have always had the Lebron Lakers number. even at half strength they beat them up. This year has been different.

One thing to note with this stats is they had Bosh and Wade on the heat team, so Lebron was likely playing below his potential on the Heat. Still though, his current stats are still remarkable on a team with young legs.

I dont like it though, he is playing about the same minutes as Luka, 30-35ish. I want to see the young guns be even more prominent. Lebron should not be carrying this type of load. Then again, they probably have tried to stop him, but guy man just wants to ball.

One good thing though, is how much more efficient he is at scoring now, so that does translate into more points with less efforts. Amazingly, the assist numbers are about the same, even with a lesser skilled team.

No. The defense wasn’t that good. Just bricking like their lives depend on it. I saw Harden shoot 3 straight 3s and none entered and he still took another one.
Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 6:07am On Mar 04
Season ending injury to Kyrie. Meanwhile, Luka is balling in L.A. Bad karma for Mavs.

Good for warriors though.
Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 6:13am On Mar 04
Talking about injuries, who remembers Kevin Ware's (NCAA Player) tibia fracture in 2013? Still can't bring myself to rewatch that shit with the bone bursting out of his leg. Meen!

If the lakers can lock in defensively, only the celtics stand between them and the title.

Kyrie Irving torn ACL. I'm not even a believer of karma but my God shocked

You couldn't script a worse outcome for Luka's mistreatment

Nico Harrison better hire Mossad and avoid buildings with windows

Wetin dey worry your team sef?

My guy Kyrie has played too many games this season. I hope he comes back fine next season.

Dem come even increase ticket prices for next season. Even if you are planning to increase, why announce now. The timing is so tone deaf and out of touch.

I saw a stat somewhere that he had played the most minutes over the last 6 weeks on average. A 33 y.o with a well known injury resume.

I have a theory in my head and the more time passes the more it's starting to make sense.

You can't convince me that the youngest and least injury prone player at 26 was the issue while you hedge your bets on two 32 and 33 year olds who are even more injured

My working theory is they want to tank that team and move it to Vegas

Think about it. Kyrie will not be back till maybe around this time next season. Tell me who will watch Spencer Dinwiddie and a washed Klay Thompson next season.

I just hate that two of my favorite teams Nuggets and Mavs are run by two incompetent black GMs. Next time some owner do not want to hire a black man those two will be shining examples of why

That when people are piling on KAT during the playoffs I warned guys here. Take out KAT and Edwards would be facing double and triple teams all night long. Without a high level PG it will always be difficult to play 4 on 5 basketball.

Rudy Gobert is too huge a liability on offence and for a touted defensive great he is too one dimensional.
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 8:08am On Mar 06
If the hierarchy in Boston is Tatum, Brown, Jrue, Derrick white , Porzingis and Pritchard. Then, the Celtics 4th and 6th best player both dropped 40 + in a game.
This is a super team hiding in plain sight.

its not algebra though, its basketball. There is only one rock, and about 80 to 90 goal attempts per game.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 7:15am On Mar 07
I hope a grand piano accidentally drops on your head Nico Harrison

This doofus fumbled Jalen Brunson and Luka. Unreal

A smart GM knows whoever lost the best player on the trade is the loser of the trade

If you're a Mavs ticket holder I don't see how you don't boycott this team till they ultimately move it to Vegas as planned

Lmao.. 8th straight win.

Is the Lake defensive performance a fluke or is it certified now?
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:57pm On Mar 07
Ajala, you single handedly brought this upon Bronny and there is no other way to spin it. Those of us who watched Bronny in High School and College knew he wasn't a 1st Round pick or even NBA ready but you told the world "He could play for us right now. Easy,". Now you want us to not talk about him and the fact that he isn't what you think he is?

I am happy Stephen A Smith did not back down this morning, if anything, he doubled down on his take that Bronny isn't NBA ready and that is the fact!

Hype up his son.
You then spend a considerable amount of time criticising the boy, oya spend the same amount of time praising the boy when he does well.

Atleast to balance the scale. It's not like bronny is a bum who can't play.

Straight facts.
Bronny would have benefited from an extra year in college, he was rushed into the NBA, manipulated the lakers to draft it, ran your mouth to say he's better than many players in the league and could help the lakers right now.
Then you're angry that the media talked about him.
Then just when the media has moved on from this issue , you publicly tackled stephen smith which invariably means the media will revisit the matter.
