birdman:Carlisle is an elite coach. Na that Heat vs Mavericks series I confirm am. Any ordinary coach not named Pop or Phil would have lost that series 4-1 after Game 3. He and Nick Nurse are still the best for me. My only problem is Luka's consistent spamming of 3's ala Harden. If he had more of a Kawhi, LeNomad shot selection I think he has an even higher offensive ceiling as I believe he is the best passer in the league bar none 1 Like |

birdman:I agree that any team in the league would have problems against the Mavs. However, there is also the PG issue here. A Porzingi-less mavs are not supposed to take you to OT especially when you have that top 2. PG has really been dissapointing. |

The thing is Doncic dey average over 30 points with over 50% shooting. I am beginning to wonder which defence him dey play self. Perhaps he's preventing him from averaging 40/45. That's not bad. A40: |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 12:50am On Aug 24, 2020 |
No talk that one oooo. I thought Lebron is the best passer. A40: |

benji93:The Mavericks have the best offensive rating in league history this season. Luka is running an orchestra out there. Luka is the best passer to anyone with functioning eyes If I'm Giannis if I can't go to the Heat I'm going straight to the Mavs. A frontcourt of Porzingis and Giannis would be match made in heaven on both ends 1 Like |

birdman:Guy stop this yarn. LeNomad and AD are significantly better than Lillard and McCollum and have a huge size advantage. Are you for real? Who are the skilled bigs? Hasan Whiteside? Abeg x3 |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:04am On Aug 24, 2020 |
benji93:Abeg you guys have had your chance. Make e spread. Steph and Klay are 32 and 30. Why should I go and join them when I can grow with young and hungry Luka |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 1:04am On Aug 24, 2020 |
i was actually referring to PG claiming he's doing other things including defending. he must be doing a lot of defending giving that the 21 year old is averaging over 30 points with over 50% shooting. A40: |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 1:07am On Aug 24, 2020 |
Good point. A40: |

A40: You can see the anger in his Kawhi’s face during the final stretch of both games. The man is frustrated and if not managed properly and immediately and going by his history he would be out of LA. Infact he does not mind sitting out next year feigning injury. Doc Rivers was late with his adjustments to how the Mavs played in the 3rd and deep into the 4th. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:17am On Aug 24, 2020 |
birdman: Baba, I don’t think so. I wrote a detailed post about this even before he moved to LA. The man has developed a bad habit that he is now unable to shake off. Some say it’s because of his injury but I was convinced he was heading the wrong path trying to cheat on offense because of his new found love for jacking up threes. 1 Like |

Roland17: Some players just dont have that ice in their veins when it matters. PG13 just keeps shrinking game by game. As for Luka, he is not just special he also has a knack for the big plays |

Roland17:You know where I stand on Doc Rivers. I no too rate am like that. He had that loaded Clippers team and failed to get them to a conference Final If he loses in the first round he should be axed. Kawhi has a 2 year contract with a player option. Onus is on the Clippers. Suprised Kawhi was oblivious of PG's choky ways to want to go out of his way to play with him |

Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 2:34am On Aug 24, 2020 |
Roland17: I am vexing on Kawhi's behalf sef. At this point, one has to think the Clippers would have been better off keeping the players they had to exchange to get the Pandemic one. Or maybe gone for a player like Butler. This Pandemic dude is an unrepentant choker. |

chic2pimp: No chance until some team does it. Remember Cleveland Cavaliers' 3-1 2016 comeback. No team had ever come back to win the finals from 3-1 down . |

Paul George: “To be honest, in hindsight, if I shoot the ball better, this series would be a lot different.” Oh really?...You don't say. Who would have thought that? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:10am On Aug 24, 2020 |
chic2pimp: Remember I mentioned Kawhi looked angry and frustrated during the game? Well, that must have caught his attention so Baba is trying to save face. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:11am On Aug 24, 2020 |
The Jazz and Denver are similar in so many ways and different in a few. J. Murray wants all the smoke after a poor showing in game 3. |
