We know the NBA want to extend the series and what not but why cheat GSW at home like this? This was ridiculous.

Lmao. Harden practically disappeared all 4th quarter. Is that your MVP?

We are lucky we forced the ball out of his hands. They were going to give him 20FTs in this game. This was ridiculously annoying
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 6:21am On May 09, 2019
I am legit frightened by the length these people will go to make a series look even. Jesus is Lord!
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 6:22am On May 09, 2019
Steve Kerr even lost his cool.

I'll take any type of win at this point. The refs are ludicrous. Watch them favour the Rockets at home and we'll be playing without KD (maybe)
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 6:26am On May 09, 2019
I am starting to think, that might be better. Let's have Curry start as the driver with no other dominant offensive weapon, so he can get his rythm early

Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 6:28am On May 09, 2019
I'm not sure have seen anyone complain on this thread more than this guy.

Sad thing is Warriors gets the better end of the dubious calls.

Its not the ref, Warriors ain't all that abeg. You thought you would blow them out?

Or the ref prevented the sweep of the Rockets as some anticipated?

When a team give it to the almighty warriors, we hear ref ref ref.

Na Rocket Bleep up na.....mtchewww

We can survive without KD if they don't cheat. I know some people will not agree but we kinda looked better without him. KD is the best player on the team but he is more like a bail-out player. Someone who helps you when plan A fails. When he is plan A, we seldom win. In fact, most of his 50 pt game performances came in games we lost.

There was more spacing with him out and somehow our panic instincts set in and we looked more controlled.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 6:34am On May 09, 2019
Although i hope it's not a serious injury, i would like to see what the splash brothers can do without him, they seemed to click in the 4th. Let's see what they can do together for an entire game. Giving the similarities in shooting style, they can feed off each other without any interruption.

We would just go back to 2015/16 Warriors. Only this time without a bench.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 6:37am On May 09, 2019
Yes just for this series, that might just be enough to put the rockets away.

Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 6:42am On May 09, 2019
True, but if the splash brothers can fire on all cylinders, the bench might not matter that much. But seriously, the refs almost cost us. Draymond green was a foul away from missing a game. But he is reckless sometimes, that knee nudge at chris paul was intentional and unnecessary.

Chuck just said we can't beat either the nuggets or the Blazers without Durant. I bet we will even without Durant, the teams he supports always lose.

Darkelf obviously hates women and probably beats them too. Embarrassing!

No I don't bro. My fiancee adores me because of my gentle nature but it was something I noticed and had to point out
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 7:11am On May 09, 2019
birdman:


its not that serious once you realize how young Ayeesha and Curry are. Women naturally like to talk. Young women are worse because they havent learnt some hard lessons. That show was a setup, with older, wiser women trying to bait a young and inexperienced woman into saying something scandalous.

This is where an older NBA couple could have counseled these guys on handling fame. Just because you are a woman discussing with other women doest mean you are safe in their midst. Women make great frenemies!! shocked

I really hope someone teaches them. But you know how the twitter generation is...they know everything, feel entitled to everything and have to relearn some hard lessons undecided

You said it there. I noticed same but thought Ayesha should have been smarter with her utterance

My comment was just banter bro. Should've added a smiley at the end.

Talk about getting swept.

I quoted the post to reply but then decided against it.

The guy should just support his Rockets with his chest. He even said he wants Rockets to win...because of Ayeesha Curry. LOL

I was angry and emotional at that point.

You don't know how a wife's actions affects her husband's play on the court. Ayesha needs to watch her mouth henceforth

Na bro,you really don't.
This isn't MVP level Steph anymore.
He came alive in the 4th quarter in this game though.

Don't sleep on KD now, without KD this team will struggle. Who are u going to play? Bogut? Looney? Come on. Let's be realistic. And we've seen in this series that Curry and Klay can be successfully guarded.

Lol. It's easy to say all these now that you know KD ain't playing. I don't want to hear you mention KD when you guys get swept in game 6 without him.

You are right that Steph has not been himself in this series but sometimes unfortunate events can trigger the beast in a champ.

We were losing this game with KD on the court and then won it as soon as he left. Not because we don't need him but because other players stepped up. That is who we have always been. All that rubbish from so-called analysts is for ratings.

I am not sure you understood what she was saying. I know this because I don't understand your reaction.

This na opportunity the rockets they blow like this.
Relax. Now the Rockets have two whole days to draw up a plan to stop Curry without worrying about KD

LOL.

Bucks and Rockets are 2 teams I fear for different reasons. Rockets because the NBA cheat for them or fall for their antics. Bucks because they have an unstoppable player in Giannis.

If Curry is on his level. They can't stop him. They have not even stopped him in this series. He has just not been himself.

You have not watched any of the games. It is screaming through your posts.

Successfully guarded my foot. Both players have gotten most of the shots they wanted. It just did not fall. Curry of 2015/16 will average 40ppg in 25mins going by the type of shots he has missed.

That's usually the case when a major threat gets off before the end of a game. It kinda takes the opposition team unaware, because KD was in their original plan, and suddenly he wasn't. Kind of like when Lebron got injured against GS. GS still got blown out in that game. But in the subsequent games without Lebron what happened?
