steady986: Actually my point is, Max has always been a prisoner of the moment. |

mattfeuter:True that |

Brett Brown fired How am I just seeing this? |

steady986:It was obviously coming. He was bereft of ideas on how to manage the 76. Next in line is MDA except the rockets get to the Conférence finals, which I doubt. But Brodie is coming and it could chang me a lot of things for them. |

Excuses, curry dislocated his finger in game 2 against the Houston rockets last season, yet he closed out the rockets without Durant and Demarcus cousons with Mr triple single triple stinking the joint and javale being his best center.. Nobody gives curry the same leeway, why should we give Lillard A further attestation to curry's greatness was that klay wasn't 100% fit for the rockets series last season has he suffered a right ankle sprain against the Clippers in the first round. steady986: |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afromentalist: 11:42am On Aug 25, 2020 |
etidy:Dame is nothing close to curry in terms of overall basket IQ and skills. But in long shot range Dame is the closest to him. I think that’s what Kellerman is trying to say. I hope anyway. Again I would love to see Dame in another team, because curry also enjoyed great company. 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 11:52am On Aug 25, 2020 |
Kellerman was like dame is exactly like curry but shines brightest in the biggest moment. All because of 2 clutch playoff shots and swag. But Lillard's record shows he's a serial choker in the biggest stage. He choked in the last 2 series the previous year. Got swept by the Pelicans with jrue making him his son. He was choking again against the Lakers before the Injury bailed him out. He has the worse record in the NBA playoffs for any active player. Harden that's labeled a chocker has done more with less than Lillard yet he's always labeled a chocker and bad teammate. Harden will take this current Portland side to at least the WCF.

Khanben: I agree with slowly increasing His muscle mass over a few years. Piling it up in one off season should be avoided if possible. He also does not want to get too jacked as that would affect His playing style and possibly the way He moves on the court. |

Afromentalist:I don't know how much say he had in building his squad, but I'm quite certain that he knew he wouldn't achieve anything with that Embiid/Simmons duo. Which brings me to ask the question, did the front office force him to make do with that duo? If so, any other coach that comes in and sticks with this same team is also destined for doom. One needs to go, and dare I say, I'd keep Embiid and get a true point guard that can give me 22 and 8 at least. 1 Like |

etidy:Lol. Is it the same series that Curry averaged 24 points we're talking about here? Dame is also averaging 24 points against the Lakers who are a much better defensive team than that Houston team. No one's saying Dame is better than Curry, so let's quit the comparisons. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:06pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
birdman:I'm fervently praying that series goes to Game 7 |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:11pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
etidy:Let's be a bit fair to Lillard. I think their shock win of Game 1 really raised expectations beyond their level. I said it here that I don't see them taking the Lakers even to 6 games. Their names look good on paper but they lack depth. They don't have any wings that can play even G-League level defense. It's Dame and inshallah. As CJ is wildly inconsistent 1 Like |

Khanben:Especially as a small market team the margin for error is too thin to overpay a player whose production is replaceable. My belief is perhaps he gets along with Giannis and they thought it best to pay him so that Giannis does not feel a type of way |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:22pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
Khanben:Like I always say a made 2 is better than a missed 3. Sometimes you have to take what the defense gives you and such if it's uncontested 2's then you take it. I'm not saying you go full DeRozan or Ben Simmons but unless you're Steph Curry level as a #1 option I don't think you should be taking more than 5-7 3 pointers in the playoffs. Especially when the first 2 or 3 don't fall. As a Rockets fan I would have gone batshit crazy that year they missed 27 straight 3's |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:31pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
Looking forward to this Nuggets vs Jazz game. The end might be nigh for the Nuggets who are low-key one of the disappointments of these playoffs.. Nobody is even talking about Donovan Mitchell. Lol this is why free agents no dey like go some teams |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 12:15am On Aug 26, 2020 |
A40: Abeg abeg. We need to knock these guys out. As it is they now have hope |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 12:18am On Aug 26, 2020 |
A40: Gonna be 6 games. I dont see blazers losing 4 in a row. I expect whiteside and nurkic to make impact next game. But the coach doesnt look like he can make Lillard change his game |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 1:16am On Aug 26, 2020 |
A40: Spot on |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 1:19am On Aug 26, 2020 |
Giannis as DPOY, he absolutely deserves this award (IMHO he should have also won it last year). 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 1:32am On Aug 26, 2020 |
Dame Lillard listed as out of Game 5. Lakers for the gentleman sweep |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 1:46am On Aug 26, 2020 |
My F##$ing DPOY......Gwarn Giannis. Thoroughly Deserved! |

My Good gawd JAMAL MURRAY.....Put some respect on that Young Lad's name. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:19am On Aug 26, 2020 |
Finally, the Nuggets realize you need to play some type of defense... |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:20am On Aug 26, 2020 |
Big congrats to Giannis.. Hope he does the double.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 3:01am On Aug 26, 2020 |
It looks like PG came to the show today. |

Dayum PG ain't joking around today. Dude came too play. |

Jacob Blake’s shooting once again makes me sick to the stomach..Should the players boycott the rest of the season? I will tell you it is gathering momentum and it will not shock me if they choose to stop playing even though it seems distant at this time. Officers are supposed to deescalate situations not escalate them to dangerous points where lives are at stake. Very sickening.. 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:27am On Aug 26, 2020 |
I always knew a drubbing was looming for this Dallas team. It has taken so long. Giannis DPOY. Congrats to him. Perhaps this is going to be a compensation for losing the MVP to LeBron |
