Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:35am On May 22, 2019 |
A40: Nice prediction there. I watched the final game and it was typical Blues on display. They pounded and bullied the Sharks into submission basically. They seem highly motivated to bring Stanley to St Louis but I can’t support them na! We are serious rivals in the central division so I am going Bruins. The Bruins have a strong power play, the best goaltender(Rask) in this year’s and playoff and a very deep bench. |

darkelf: ok. i mean, I used to see expanded jawlines as a sign of steroid use. But what I have seen over the years is many athletes already have high testosterone levels. They spend one in summer in the gym and they look roided out. Kobe, Wade, Tmac all bulked up at one point in their career. It lasts half a season though, because you get injured easier. Imagine Giannis bulking up ![]() im not sure you can look at an nba player and determine if he is roiding or not. Most of them lose muscle mass during the season from running on the court, so they are underweight already. but we shall see... |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 1:01pm On May 22, 2019 |
Word on the street is the playoffs ratings are down this year. which is strange to me cuz we have had some of the most exciting bball back to back to back this year. Is it because Lebron is not playing or peoples just tired of GS steamrolling to another 'ship. I know I avoided GS Portland series. Who wants to see accident in slow motion ![]() 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by smoosh20: 1:36pm On May 22, 2019 |
birdman:I guess the Warriors need to start losing every game and series to make the NBA interesting to get the ratings up since teams have refused to step up. Bunch of confused fans who want equality of outcome are the ones mad keep shouting about how the warriors made the NBA so boring like it's their fault teams like OKC, Utah, etc keep getting swept in the playoffs. Fans need to understand that other teams just need to step up. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:16pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: After they flew to the Hamptons to cry to KD? LOL 2016 will always haunt the warriors, its their marquee season/currys too and they bottled it all thanks to king james. Thats why their fans are still obsessed with him. And mark me, they are about to blow that 3-1 playoff lead.

A40: Bruhhhh He just signed a new contract so He'll be there for the forseeable future. Plus no team with playoff ambitions will take His contract. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:35pm On May 22, 2019 |
ZenHallewell:Of course the way and manner of the loss will sting somewhat. I'm still mad about how we lost to United in 1999 but we knocked them out 3 times since then so it's all good. I bet Bronsexuals are madder at KD than Curry fans are mad at LeNomad. That's why they are attacking KD both on print and social media. Your man's is out of the title picture. It's better you wake up and smell the roses. Anthony Davis, Baron Davis, Viola Davis. No more titles for LeNomad |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:40pm On May 22, 2019 |
chic2pimp:Doesn't have to be. Could be to a tanking team. His yearly average is under $20mil. Decent in today's NBA. As he ages and the small athleticism he has diminishes he would get even worse |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:55pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: I have nothing against Curry or Iggy or Klay or the donkey, i know they're lebrons b-tches, KD too but it just sucks that this dweeb joined the warriors and now he thinks hes all that, LOL! There hasnt been an NBA champion since 2016 so I'm not as mad as i would be if the warriors as they were had come back to beat the cavs twice. KD ruined the league, and hes a punk for that, hes an even bigger punk if he doesnt rectify that mistake. i dont have a problem with the warriors core. And you really think lebron is out of the title picture? LOL! You're in for a rude awakening. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:56pm On May 22, 2019 |
Roland17:Soon as I heard Karlsson and Hertl were not playing I knew their goose was cooked. Also that Sharks team had been benefiting from ojoro even before this round. Their luck had run out. It sucks for Jumbo Joe as he might never win a Cup The team with the best chance of beating the Bruins would have been the Lightning but they are already out, That Blues team reminds me of LA Kings in 2012. Bruins are favorites no doubt but the Blues have a solid goaltender as well, though not on Tuuka Rask level. Marchand, Bergeron, Pasternak and Krejci are elite forwards but I think the Blues have even more forward depth even down to their 4th line. I have not forgiven my team's GM Jim Rutherford for trading Oskar Sundqvist for that outdated hockey goon Ryan Reaves This tie is too close to call. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:21pm On May 22, 2019 |

Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:41pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40: Trade Him to a G League if need be. They simply need to get His Contract off their wage books to stand a chance of ever competiting for the Title. Time to write off this season and look forward to the next as Bud isn't going to ever drop the Bum. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:43pm On May 22, 2019 |
ZenHallewell:LeNomad also ruined the league when he joined up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and for the first time in league history we saw 3 stars in their athletic primes come together. You can imagine how crestfallen the rest of the league was, wondering who would save us from not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4 titles that that alliance of evil threatened to win. Payback is really a muthaphucka and I'm immensely satisfied that LeNomad is the worst affected from that move same way he tried to ruin league parity back in 2010. Ojoro cancel ojoro As for KD the only reason I would want for him to leave the Warriors is if he really wanted to leave for himself or because the Warriors made it untenable for him to stay. Overwhelmingly loud Bronsexuals will not stop hating KD even if he won a Championship leading the Phoenix Suns so proving anything to them is a waste of time. He would probably never be included in the GOAT discussion so what would his leaving prove to anybody. From a business standpoint leaving arguably the richest region of North America makes even less sense |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:47pm On May 22, 2019 |
chic2pimp: Okay this Bledsoe slander has to stop. Man has a bad series and suddenly he's cancer? Lol! He'll bounce back. Bledsoe may not be the best shooting or scoring point guard but he's solid and an amazing defended too. He just needs to step up. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:00pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40:How did he ruin the league when there were so many other good teams better or on par with them? Lakers, Celtics, Dallas, Spurs. One thing people forget is that the heat sub par depth and chemistry issues. Did the heat win 73 games and go to the finals when he signed? did the heat have the reigning MVP? LOL! Payback is really a muthaphucka and I'm immensely satisfied that LeNomad is the worst affected from that move same way he tried to ruin league parity back in 2010. Ojoro cancel ojoroThis literally makes no sense whatsoever. The same move? LMAO! Did lebron join the orlando magic or celtics? no, he tried to beat them. When lebron choked against dallas did he go join them the year after or made sure he went all the way the next year? What payback? that lebron had a decent team around him for once? LOL! Like i said, zero sense. If KD had joined the wizards and teamed up with wall and another star i wouldnt blame him, or joined any other team for that matter. This guy had a 3-1 lead against this team, choked and then joined them the year later after they won 73 games and came back from the finals. Thats the weakest move any superstar has ever pulled in the history of the NBA. As for KD the only reason I would want for him to leave the Warriors is if he really wanted to leave for himself or because the Warriors made it untenable for him to stay. Overwhelmingly loud Bronsexuals will not stop hating KD even if he won a Championship leading the Phoenix Suns so proving anything to them is a waste of time. He would probably never be included in the GOAT discussion so what would his leaving prove to anybody.Like i always say, if the lakers can get kawhi/kyrie and then get AD? LOOOL! KD can stay. Lets see how he does against a good lebron team, lets see how the rest of the warriors will do against this team. All people are saying is he should prove he can carry a team so why will people hate on him if he wins with the suns? If the lakers can get one superstar i hope he leaves, if they can get a FA and AD, i pray he stays so lebron can whoop his candy as-. From a business standpoint leaving arguably the richest region of North America makes even less senseNY is a huge market where he will not be second fiddle to Steph so he will sell more jerseys and shoes, will be revered more by the fans and seen universally as the savior of the wretched knicks. As far as other businesses, he can run them from anywhere this is the 21st century. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:01pm On May 22, 2019 |
KarnThornheart:Did he have a good series vs Boston? But for Kyrie matching him brick for brick and George Hill stepping up they would have lost that series. This series he is shooting 11/45 from the field. His floor level as a PG is too poor for a team trying to win a Championship. How do you survive a potential matchup with Steph when your defense does not even justify you being left on the court because you're such a black hole offensively. |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:30pm On May 22, 2019 |
ZenHallewell:Better than the Heat? Lol this is a bad joke. Between 2010-2014 the Heat were the winningest team in the League. No? In the East the Heat's competition was Derrick Rose and Luol Deng ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() By virtue of their 4 straight Finals they were the best team in the league bar none. LeNomad was the reigning MVP and teleported to join 2 other top 15 or 20 players in the league at the time. Pound for pound it was the same thing Name one team that year that had 3 All-stars beside the Miami Heat ZenHallewell:Who appointed you Judge and Jury of the NBA to arbitrate which move was worse than the other? You're legit the one not making sense. Why would LeNomad join the teams whose best 3 players are at an average age of 35 even if they beat him? Or the Magic who had just Dwight and Lewis when you can link up with two of the top 5 players in your draft who so happens to be among the top 15/20 players in the league? What would be left of the league if everyone left their undesirable situations. If Dirk had left Dallas, if Hakeem left Houston, Reggie left Indy, Lillard left Portland. The players that stayed with their franchise through thick and thin do they have two heads?? Keep the same energy at all times. What is good for the Jews should be good for Uganda ZenHallewell:You're hilarious. It would take LeNomad a miracle to win one more ring. Especially this 35 year old version who is staring down the barrel of Father Time If prime LeNomad who played both ends with the Heatles went 2 of 4 then you're in for spectacular disappointment if you think he would fare better even if they added AD and Kyrie alone ZenHallewell:Why did LeNomad come to LA? Aren't we in the 21st century? He could have gone anywhere else. KD does not have the star power of Steph or LeNomad. The charisma is not there so forget about ever outselling those two. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:15pm On May 22, 2019 |
A40:Granted the heat were better than most eastern teams but the most competitive teams are from the west. Like i said the only constant about finals teams from 2011 to 2018 is lebron james, No one in the east had an answer for him and i guess that may have hurt his legacy to an an extent because he faced superior western teams in the finals hence the finals record. Add lebron to any eastern contender, the result would have been the same, he skewed the scales, he tipped the balance in the east. Name one team that year that had 3 All-stars beside the Miami HeatI'm really glad you caught yourself here, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and KG all from the celtics made the all star game. PS The celtics were in the east. Who appointed you Judge and Jury of the NBA to arbitrate which move was worse than the other?You just claimed their moves were the same even though they couldnt be further apart, if you can arbitrate so badly, I am well within my rights to chime in. You're legit the one not making sense. Why would LeNomad join the teams whose best 3 players are at an average age of 35 even if they beat him?Your argument here totally missed the point. You are dancing away form the real point here. You claimed lebron and KDs move were the same, how are they the same? Lebron formed a team to try and compete. Another joined an already formed team that beat him BTW after he went 3-1 up against them and choked. A team that was already bullying the league and you join up to bully others instead of figuring out how to beat them or form a team that can? By any competitive standard that is super weak. Its the classic you cant beat them you join them move that weaklings are known to make. You're hilarious. It would take LeNomad a miracle to win one more ring. Especially this 35 year old version who is staring down the barrel of Father TimeI remember as recently as 2018 when you lot claimed father time came for him. Or when he had back issues in miami and you lot claimed the same. Only he came back and put up legendary performances and remains on top till this day! If prime LeNomad who played both ends with the Heatles went 2 of 4 then you're in for spectacular disappointment if you think he would fare better even if they added AD and Kyrie aloneLOOOOOL! If the lakers get AD and Kyrie, i repeat, the lakers will beat the warriors so bad, including kevin durant that oakland will be annexed to mexico. Just add some 3 and D players to that and the west will become "weak" just like you lot claim the east was weak. Why did LeNomad come to LA? Aren't we in the 21st century? He could have gone anywhere else. KD does not have the star power of Steph or LeNomad. The charisma is not there so forget about ever outselling those two.NOOOPE! Another common misconception, business can be handled anywhere. Space jam can be filmed in a few weeks during summer. Business played a role, but the major factor was his family. Bronny Jr especially who he wanted to come to a competitive basketball school in LA. A lot of players without charisma sell merchandise just by virtue of being the star players in huge markets, charisma has nothing to do with it. Embiid Butler and Simmons are top 10 in jersey sales, thats market power, not just charisma. Only the warriors have two players in the top 10. 1 Like |
