aliondo: I'm not even criticising Westbrook. I just think barring any injuries, this warriors team is almost unbeatable in a 7 games playoff series. You'll need one of Steph or Duramt to be injured to stand a chance. I also won't read too much into the 2-2 y'all played in the regular season as that's exactly what it is, a "Regular Season" game. We both know play offs are an entirely different kettle of fish. Also this Warrior's team are battle tested in these types of games whilst the Thunders are not. I know that might sound like much but trust me in a playoff series, that might be the difference between winning and loosing. Lastly, that 3-1 series was when you guys had KD in your team. This time around He'll be lining up against you lot. I'd be surprised If Westbrook can actually change the way He plays at this stage in His career. His best option might be to switch to the two guard position. 2 Likes |

aliondo: Sacramento Kings beat GSW 2ce this season. Lakers swept San Antonio this season. Wanna guess how NOP and Blazers regular season games went? LOL. If you had KD, Ibaka, Russell, Adams, Enes Kanter and still could not beat GSW with an injured Curry. Sorry, you have no single hope. None. Zilch. Zit. Nihil. Diddly squat. Zero. Nought. None. Especially when KD now plays for virtually the same GSW team. Fun Fact; that GSW team swept that OKC team in the said regular season. But were down by 3 games to 1 in the playoffs. Proving again that the regular season is not a good tool to gauge post-season winnings. Thank you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I don't complain about officiating but this is becoming utterly ridiculous to watch as the Bucks continue to enjoy home cooking officiating. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:20pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Let's just go back to TD Garden for game 6. |

Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 8:25pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
chic2pimp:Oh..you know playoffs are entirely different. So why bold to say russ can never win with the warriors in it? Who saw the pelicans sweeping blazers? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:25pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
The length of the Bucks is just too disruptive. |

Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 8:27pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Eruditor:If after sweeping OKC in the regular season..if someone told you that OKC will be 3-1 up,would you have believed? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:30pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Here we go with the officials not calling the foul on the strip |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:33pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Off to game 6. We can not wait until the 2nd half of games before showing up. We played poorly until the last five minutes of the 3rd. |
Re: The NBA Begins by freaskie(m): 8:35pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Eruditor: No sir...I wont be happy as i won't take Oladipo over PG. Obviously Oladipo is still improving..this is his 4th year.. i believe.. so he made a huge leap from last season...kudos to him..I actually like the dude and wished we kept him...but dude was on a big contract already sef Are you trying to compare CAVs last year's roster with this year? Last year's CAVs roster will have swept this pacers and i even doubt it will be as close as last year's games were. Just watch Russ be Russ and win the series to begin with alongside playoff P |
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 8:37pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Not watching the Celtic game but saw that they played poorly in the first half..Tried staging a great come back and I applaud them for their fighting spirit though they lost....Nice matchup series btw.. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 9:29pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
aliondo: Is that not what I should be telling you? Are you not the one to list regular season as an evidence for your claim? Abi you no see the roster I put there? If you guys could not win leading by 3-1 with that Roster with game 6 in your home is not proof you stand no chance ? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 9:29pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
E be like we wan tank this game for Steph to be fit. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 9:31pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
freaskie: You are apparently losing to a worse team than Rockets last year after having the same season in terms of win "without" help. OK. |
Re: The NBA Begins by freaskie(m): 9:56pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Eruditor: So in your mind now, OKC will lose this series?...Cmon man Utah will push...maybe even to the brink...but no way OKC is losing this series |
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 10:05pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Eruditor:Its because of the so called 'good roster' (that could not even win a game against the warriors),i brought up the regular season. Although our performances are bad but this our roster is unpredictable. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:20pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
I heard the bucks do not want to give parker the money he is asking for to resign him. I will like to see him on the pacers, maybe a one year deal. He will be a good addition for the pacers at the 3. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 10:56pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
There will be a game 5. Spurs played great and some mean defence. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:58pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
freaskie:I thought you'd rather prove he doesn't have that hall of fame turnover badge in clutch but next thing is to insinuate I'm hating. OK. Anyways, Russell Westbrook has been known for his signature turnovers in 4th quarter and in clutch.. And this is fact. Notable career defining games are 4TO in last 3mins vs Warriors in 2016 when OKC was up 3-1 and series was tied 3-3. He turned it over 8 times in that game, Conference finals vs Spurs were he couldn't use his strength to guard a old Tony Parker. I won't even talk about the numerous regular season games where his reputation shines. He was even mad Rubio had a triple double more than he lost the game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 12:03am On Apr 23, 2018 |
Eruditor:These are pure lies.. You're just hating on the mvp. How dare you? He doesn't even care about his stats and triple doubles even if he got mad Rubio had one yesterday more than he should be mad at his team's loss or his 0 FG attempt in 4th quarter or the disappearance of OKC big 3 in 4th quarter of game three where they went 0-14 in FG. BTW, he a better defender than Steph Curry, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, etc. Stop hating dude. 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 12:44am On Apr 23, 2018 |
SmooshCHN:chai...Brodie don suffer for your hand but you have a point with this in your statement. He said in the post game conference that he wont allow rubio to get triple double again and he will shut him off..He(with the other team mates) should figure out how we are going to win next match even if he has 0 points and 0 rebounds.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:02am On Apr 23, 2018 |
We hit them hard, we hit them fast. Our defense hasn't been the the problem so far, we've kept them in check. It's just the lack of offensive creativity. Limit turnovers. Make our open looks. These small fries have had their fun. I see a blowout win. Cavs in 6. |
Re: The NBA Begins by kcluv2men(m): 1:49am On Apr 23, 2018 |
I wonder why nobody is talking about Bradley Beal and the Wizards coming back to tie the series 2-2. You think it's home court advantage or this Toronto team slipped up? Can they edge them out in subsequent games? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:00am On Apr 23, 2018 |
kcluv2men: Uhhh, Maybe because it just happened? It's not just homecourt advantage. Both teams are lead by notorious chokers and you can see that with some of Demar the builders brick shots in the fourth though he played well in the game.. May the better chokers win. 1 Like |
