SIRcumalot: That, I can't explain. All I know is that the first three quarters showed what the cavs are capable of doing (Ball movement was 100 on 100 and Defense was not bad either). I prefer to call it a planned work because there is no other explanation I can give to it. Just look at the 5secs violation by LeBron late in the fourth. Dude was just holding the ball looking like mumu. |

Lolawilliams how does Melo deserve a ring over Kevin Durant? Over MVP, 2/3 plus scoring champion?? Please explain |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:56am On Apr 10, 2017 |
The Cavs simply choked already and the refs ruined the game. 26pts tho |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:06am On Apr 10, 2017 |
lolawilliams:Melo? Melo deserves a ring over KD? The same Melo that decided to stay in new York because he wanted to be a fashion icon with lala hot Cheerios? |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 11:26am On Apr 10, 2017 |
SmooshCHN1: Lol. well no one really deserves one, you earn it or you don't, he deserves some of the criticism he has received as he has failed to bring the Knicks to even an Eastern conference finals appearance. We all understand that Carmelo isn’t in the same class as LeBron, KD, Westbrook, or Harden, but a lot of the heat he has taken during his tenure in New York has been off target. He has never created distractions for his team. Despite having a terrible owner, a GM who has put ‘Melo in some precarious spots, and a weak supporting cast of players, he has handled tough questions with class and tempered honesty. he has never complained for having littl talent to work with in knicks Modified: Talking about loyalty Melo deserves a ring than KD. KD also deserves one but not to quick |

Muna15: Lol. A sweep over Heats might not happen but i don't think Heats can eliminate us in Playoffs. |

sapiosexual1: You guys love myths. WB is 6'3. OKC are great in transition, yes but they are third in the ranking. 2 other teams do it better than them without their PGs hustling for rebounds. I would not tire to say it: if Russell only had double doubles his team would have won the same amount of games. So what is the fuss about the TD if not for hype? |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 3:37pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
Muna15:I no watch the game sha. na the scores I just see. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:21pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: You read that thrash, and instead of calling it out you resigned by saying you did not watch the game Oga? I do not argue that the refs really fluffed it in the 4th Q and OT, but the narrative that Lebron dribbled himself into violation or that Cavs willfully tossed the game is the largest amount of garbage ever put together. It is only on per with the hyper-cockamamie that since Melo has not won a ring, KD does not deserve one. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 4:36pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
Eruditor:you can see he no get answer for the minute question.why press further? am not going to rob my fellow cavaliers of whatever web they've spinned to hide themselves from harsh reality. also I didn't watch the game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:37pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
lolawilliams:Lmaoo. How isn't that a jumpball and what do the refs stand to gain whistling against the whiny Cavs? You can see that Kyrie was pinned with absolutely nowhere to go. A terrible inbound pass or maybe Kyrie not being in sync cos the pass was thrown behind him. It woulda been a crying disgrace if the refs had blown a whistle there. Besides I didn't see Cavs fans complaining of injustice when Richard Jefferson tripped KD on Christmas Day |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:56pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
lolawilliams:The refs didn't kill you. You need to understand that choking can sometimes be an irreversible process. I have seen it with Bayern in 99 and 2012, Milan, The Seahawks in Superbowl 49, Falcons in 51, Warriors last year obvs, PSG. E.t.c. For starters you guys were abysmal in the first two minutes of the 4th. They went on a 9-0 run. But things actually stabilized y'all were still up 17 with under 5 and a half minutes to go. However for some reason you guys stopped moving the ball. Lebron and Kyrie took turns trying to be the hero and The Hawks coach was smart and stuck with his 2nd unit bar Milsap and they kept chipping into the lead bit by bit. Funny enough they had a lot of chances to actually beat you guys in regulation Milsap and Bazemore blew at least 3 between them. Don't make that mistake. Any team is capable of choking when it matters 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:59pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
lolawilliams:Yes na. The argument of LeBron not getting a ring in his first seasons at Miami and Cavs no follow for here at all. With all the minutes James is logging, I foresee an injury in a highly physical first round. Can I get an ahmen?! |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:01pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
Of which who saw that flop by Bron Bron in Overtime that put him on the line. Karma is always a bítch sha cos ironically the foul that threw him out of the game was also not a foul. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:04pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
lolawilliams:Remind me the greatest upset of all time. This one would dwarf it. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:06pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
Muna15:Like seriously you wanna spin that line? The official line from the Cavs is that the refs fvcked the game. Bros don't spin another one for us jare. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:10pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
lolawilliams:Nne you can dream eh. I have the Warriors taking the series 4 x 1. Barring any disastrous injuries I still can't look past the Warriors. Especially after last year's lesson in humility. They are my pick to win it all. All the talk about size and rim protection. They are the team with the most amount of double digit blocks in a game. KD don dey league 10 years now. He has suffered enough. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Muna15: 5:22pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
sapiosexual1: Baba, Everyone knows T.Lue did a poor job in the fourth and that the refs also fvcked up like you said but the refs are humans and they could make mistakes. That's part of the game. I'm not kind of person that runs in here to cry when refs made some bad calls against my team. Blowing a 26-point lead in the fourth is incomprehensible and I called it a planned work because that's the only thing that could console me concerning that game. 2 Likes |

sapiosexual1:which kain evil prayer be this sapiosexual. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Muna15: 5:34pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
lolawilliams: Our team is not the same as that of last year. I think it would be better we face the pacers in the first round with a higher chance of winning than facing the Heat/Bulls. Just my opinion though |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 5:49pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
A40: Well, the bad selections Lue made caused all this, Cavs fans dont complain.about refs like some other fans which we all know. Even with blowing the lead, we could have won if the right calls were made in OT. You cant say the refs didnt make some silly calls in the OT. I'm not even bothered the team we sweep in playoffs beat us in a regular season game. we got them brooms ready for them as always. I love how they celebrated this win as the "best game in Hawks history" In playoffs. We gon be alright |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 5:54pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
sapiosexual1: It wont dwarf the 2004 Lakers ‘superteam’ loss to Pistons. Thank God i now know you lowkey support Warriors cause of KD. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 5:57pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
Muna15: Bulls are not that though. I believe we can beat them but we just keep taking the L's against them for some reasons. |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 6:04pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
sapiosexual1: Lol. it will bounce back on Curry , I think Lue should just use the bench players for the remaining games left 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 6:13pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
A40: Warriors Vs Blazers> Warriors Sas Vs Grizzles> Sas Rockets Vs Okc> Rockets Jazz Vs Clippers> Clippers Warriors Vs Clippers >Warriors Sas Vs Rockets> Rockets Warriors Vs Rockets > Rockets This is how i see it in the west. I swear |
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 6:32pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
lolawilliams: Lol. This your assertion totally looks sentimental. If you see a Warriors Rockets WCF, I don't think it'll get to 6 games. Only team capable of taking Warriors to 6 games from the west is Spurs |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:37pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:Baba body no be wood na. James isn't 24 anymore. If he had to play soo much to drag them over the finish line, then you know what's coming in the playoffs. He would tank. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 6:39pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
Eruditor: Everything you type is vitriol masked as unbiased criticism. You don applaud Harden wey get quadruple double with his record breaking turnovers against almighty Sacramento Kings. You come use style attack Westbrook that shot above 50% against a playoff bound team that is the 3rd best offensive team in the NBA, from behind doing it with a dagger 3 and simultaneously breaking Oscar Robertson's record. People are celebrating, you are complaining and you dey tell us say you no dey biased? Wehdone sir. It is okay to be biased ooo 2 Likes 1 Share |

lolawilliams: Warriors vs Celtics >>> KD |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 7:02pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
Decale: Something about playoffs in the west is that it's hard to predict unlike the East. Ive seen enough of it from clipper blowing their 3-1 lead to Rockets in 2015 to Okc blowing their 3-1 lead to Gsw. But no way Spurs and Warriors wont come outta the first round. Other might turn the other way round. |
