Can we talk about about Jimmy Butler and his boys? Those guys are hungry. 1 Like 1 Share |

SmooshCHN: The 2 scary prospects on that team is bam adebayo and Tyler herro. Those guys form a solid long term core for the heats. Tyler herro is so fearless for a rookie, he gives me Klay Thompson vibes. 2 Likes |

In an alternate reality this could have been Nigeria's basketball team PG-Victor oladipo SG-Spencer dwinwiddie SF-OG Anunoby PG-Giannis C-Bam Adebayo Bench: Iguodala, Aminu, Obi, DeAndre ayton, semi ojeleye We legit could have been the best team in the world 4 Likes 1 Share |

birdman:You too dey fear. I hope your Rockets are not as fearful as you. You guys have a lot more depth than the Blazers, play better defense and so stand a much better chance. The Lakers are still favorites but it will be very naïve of them to believe these Rockets are anything like the Blazers Anyway I have given the recipe for winning this series. Less spamming of 3's by Harden and Westbrook taking <20 shots per game. 1 Like |

SmooshCHN:Stephen A is just a noisemaker at times. The Sixers job is there, Pacers, Pelicans I don't know why he is so fixated on the Nets because of KD and Kyrie as if that duo is guaranteed to do anything. He has forgotten KD is a 32 year old coming off a torn Achilles tendon. What is the guarantee his game would not slip |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:59am On Sep 05, 2020 |
etidy:That guy plays like he was undrafted and has something to prove. Now pair him with someone like Butler. I just love guys that plays the way Butler and his boys play. What goes unnoticed is how Iguodala chose to go to the Heats like he knew what was coming. The Heat is complete. I don't really see any weakness and that makes me happy. The East can take the championship one more time before the Warriors are ready. 1 Like |

etidy:With these guys you mentioned, I doubt best team sha. We could definitely do damage. I don't want to imagine Team USA starting 5 with Curry and Harden at Backcourt, LeBron and KD a forward and KAT or even AD. We never even talked about coaching. It would be great but my brain isn't even working it out knowing my country Nigeria would have found a way to ruin whatever they would have become. We don't have that culture Baba. 1 Like |

SmooshCHN:just like when max made it about fox news and sas had to correct him. The nba and wannabe activist is already involved in pushing the left wing slogans and rethorics, its sad . |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 7:34pm On Sep 05, 2020 |
Black coaches have legit beef. Most of the damage is not obvious unless you are in the circle and know who is who. Just like corporate america. That being said, continually whining about it is counter productive imo. But its easy for me to say... Im not really affected. What would really work would be more black owners. Instead of more black employees |

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 12:04am On Sep 06, 2020 |
We need to pick up our intensity and energy to this game. The Raptors are beating us to every ball and rebound. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 12:47am On Sep 06, 2020 |
We are too lethargic!!! The last shot the Raptors made is just similar to the one OG made to win game 3.. Come on guys! The energy levels have to pick up or we are tied.. We do have something with R. Williams playing the 5, they have no answer for him but we have to start knocking down shots or going to rim for the 2 while defending the transition offense better. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 1:59am On Sep 06, 2020 |
Kyle Lowry is a dawg. Damn. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:02am On Sep 06, 2020 |
14 TO, can’t defend the 3, can’t make freethrows, out rebounded, can’t make the 3, foul trouble..Too many things we did wrong outside of the lack of energy and intensity in the first 3 quarters of the game. We thoroughly deserve a loss in this game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:16am On Sep 06, 2020 |
And just like that, the series is tied. Plus Raptors have the momentum. What wonders one shot can do. At this point I'm confident they're winning this series. |

Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:23am On Sep 06, 2020 |
The Nuggets will kick themselves if they let this game slip right out of their hands. |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:36am On Sep 06, 2020 |
birdman: Yup!....Badly struggled. If fails to develop both a Solid Mid range and post game, the struggle will never end. He really needs a go to move or 2 to keep defenders on their toes and guessing. At this point, Defenders can predict what He is planning to do which makes Him quite easy to stop. Slow the game down and His struggles are exacerbated. He badly needs a new skills coach as this current one is clearly not working. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:49am On Sep 06, 2020 |
P. Beverly is a huge emtional liability for any team he plays for. |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:51am On Sep 06, 2020 |
Come through Jamal and Nikola. Nah these dudes want all the smoke and more. They were Superb today. Kawhi on the other hand was bang average however I don't see it happening again. Well the Clippers better hope it doesn't happen again. This tie is finely balanced. Bring on Game 3 1 Like |

Anytime the Clippers lose a game, it's always difficult for guys like Broussard and Kellerman to give explanations. Now they gotta give an extra explanation as to why Kawhi stunk up the joint(and not PG) |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 5:01am On Sep 06, 2020 |
Of course, the thread is relatively quiet. Because it's the Clippers who lost and not the Lakers 1 Like 1 Share |

Una sure say Charles Barkley no dey read this thread? Chuck just held my positon about Giannis word for word! I held this position when we argued about Giannis last year! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:31am On Sep 06, 2020 |
chic2pimp: The Nuggets came out smoking and were able to protect that 19 point lead they built in the first quarter. The Nuggets lost the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Q. They were more energetic, moved the ball around better and knocked down important shots. The Nuggets have been doing something that has impressed me since the start of this post season and that is establishing the guards as the focus of their offense. This makes it difficult for teams to play Jokic 1:1, more importantly, it reduces the burden of primarily creating shots for others on Jokic. |

Playoffs are cooking! Now we need bucks to step up and not get swept lol |
