A40: Damn why u so hot yes the bucks were absolutely right to move on with Jason Kidd that is why they have 2 back to back seasons of going home. U keep exposing your ignorance. So because u can name more mobile QBs that means what? But anyways let's do it. Name 5 for Byron Leftwitch......name 5 for Jamies Winston.....oya name 5 for Doug Williams......JaMarcus RusselL nko. Rodney Pete used to be fast but was slow in the NFL. So just drop me a cool 25 names U stand for Mike Tomlin? Sounding like a racist saying they have a black friend(u ) ......so why didn't u open your uncle Tom azz mouth to complain about the gross lack of discipline and how poorly past seasons have played out? Tomlin is basically the Doc Rivers of the NFL dummy Nobody was comparing Cam the player with Peyton u clown. Stop trying to twist stuff. I'm not even going to get into an insult contest with u sef.

birdman: Doc to the sixers? Well I feel after 7 years it is ok for someone else to try. Just like the situation in Toronto. But I don't believe it turns out the same way for the clips. The west will get even better next season. They might be a 4 or 5 seed next season. |

JayBasic: Don’t lose your money if you’re planning to bet on that. The Heats run the same zone defence that the Nuggets against the Lakers in the last round. The Heats played hero and Robinson on the bottom corners and iggy/JB/crowder up top to overwhelm/pressure the ball/PnR and Bam in the paint The match up is just too favourable to the Lakers because of their streaky shooters, Kief/KCP/Danny can give you a good 4 threes in a game once they’re in the mood, and of course Bron/ AD iso plays, plus Rondo/Bron could easily find cutters to the basket This is not looking good for the Heats 1 Like |

birdman: Can I just say I'm glad he didn't? Cause Frank Vogel has been perfect for the Lakers. One of the best defensive coaches in the league. If I were the Clippers the right candidate is right under their nose but it's not Ty Lue, Its Sam Cassell. I understand Ty Lue might feel disrespected because of that but they've already made one tough decision, they might as well see it out. |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 10:09am On Sep 29, 2020 |
WeissVonner: And the defence has saved the Lakers when the offence has been terrible, imagine Ty Lue in the Rockets or even the Denver series Jokic would average 30 |

Very soon we are going to start the AD >>> Kawhi agenda. You lot aren't ready for the propaganda that will follow this championship. Fair warning |

Let's for one moment imagine the heat wins the final. LeBron will be 3-7 yikes Mehn! I think this one reason for him to rather die than lose this NBA title. He wins and he's equal or has overtaken Jordan in most people's books. He loses and the haters will forever remind us that he had 3 7 finals loses. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:33pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
WeissVonner: I agree 100% on both counts. Ty Lue was not the right fit. I was happy when Vogel took the job because defense gives your team a fighting chance always. Ditto on Sam Cassel. How is everybody passing over this guy? Man I hope he gets this job! Ty Lue already disrespected himself, so any additional insult, he should take it like that 1 Like |

WeissVonner: It's the Adele's situation that I find particularly funny. Anyone that knows the Area in North London Adele was Born and partially Bred in would never accuse Her of Cultural Appropriation. It's an area packed full of Carribeans(mostly Jamaicans) and a few Africans. Not forgetting She also lived in Brixton another area with a Huge Carribean population. As She famously said " You can take the Girl/Boy out of Tottenham, but you can never take Tottenham out of the Girl/Boy". Having said all that, I don't think the Vast Majority of AA think this way. However the ones that do tend to be the Most Vocal/loudest in the Group hence why it looks that way. Their Voices simply drowns out the rest in the Group. I do though agree that a number of them need to do away with the Victim Mentality if not for anything other than the fact that it sets a limiter on what they can achieve. What I do find fascinating is that pretty much every Trump Voting AA don't have that mentality. They'll boastfully and proudly tell you that they are not victims and never have been victims. They'll also tell you that they've never had it better. Food for thought. 1 Like |

“I think it’s going to be a great series. To me, Miami has a little bit of the edge. I think people are overlooking how well they’ve played and their style of play,” Scottie Pippen told Chris Cason of Forbes when asked to discuss the 2020 NBA Finals. LMAO If you're wondering If this was posted by some idiot or online troll, it wasn't. Scottie Pippen really said spewed this trash. Seems we have the MJ camp right where we want them, in panic mode. |

The man really said LeBron has to prove he can lead a team himself. He hasn't been the same since Future took his wife to pound town. |

WeissVonner: It's funny how they manage to support anyone the Lakers are playing and refuse to acknowledge the fact that, maybe the Lakers are just a good team. They are making it seem like Tyler Herro is better than Dame/Harden, that at this point it’s becoming so pathetic. A team that could stifle both of them will magically struggle against Herro and Robinson? A team that could stop Jokic should be worried about Bam? These dumbos said it's like a pickup game and didn't know that this will also favour Bron ??. He's shooting 75.1% FTs , he doesn't need to worry about travelling to games. Against the Heats, the Lakers should just spam the pick and roll on every play. Imagine Olynik/ Crowder/ iggy trying to guard AD and Bron, good luck with that. I like the underdog narrative, makes it sweeter when the Lakers Win it all. They should keep the same energy and not call it an easy ring. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:30am On Sep 30, 2020 |
xwolverine: The funniest thing for me is that they keep questioning the Lakers supporting cast throughout every series they've played so far. But somehow they have been able to keep up with the role players in every series they've played. Before every series starts its people question what the non LeBron/ADs will bring and even though they've delivered consistently people are always surprised when they do. Whether its playoff Rondo or Dwight or Caruso or KCP, and even Danny Green with his defense mostly . When called upon, these guys have always stepped up to the plate. Here's a thought, maybe the Lakers supporting cast isnt as bad as they want to believe. Its a well balanced team and they all know their role. I see this going 5 games max, but I can honestly see this being a sweep. There's a groundswell of people comparing them to the 04 Pistons, yeah I'm not buying that sh-t. Its quite simple, the Miami Heat lost both games against the Lakers even when trying that stupid zone defense of theirs. No way a 5th seed from the East is going to beat a LeBron led One seed from the West with AD in the Finals. This isn't going to be close. 1 Like |

What is Pippen yammering about? Doesnt everyone have the same advantage being in the bubble? |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:01pm On Sep 30, 2020 |
Panic in the MJ camp? Wasn't it the two wusses from LA that didn't want to be in the bubble in the first place? Shouldn't y'all be thanking the GOAT for salvaging this season? Would we even be talking about a Heat vs Lakers series if not for the GOAT. Smh 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:23pm On Sep 30, 2020 |
The good thing is the Heat do not have one specific player you can zero in on to shut down on offense. The bad thing is their defense at it's core boils down to just one guy. Bam! If he gets into any type of foul trouble they are positively bleeped. And this is why I don't feel good about the Heat but still hoping for a miracle. Interesting factoid. Jimmy Butler and LeBron head to head. 17-17 1 Like |

A40: LOL! LeBron was the first person to put his foot down and say nobody is cancelling the NBA season. Remember when Pat Bev said if LeBron is playing we're all playing? Then he considered leaving the bubble for issues bigger than basketball. Your goat did what was best for his pocket by acting as a mediator, he didnt salvage jack sh-t. If LeBron wanted this season done, it's done. I'm sure your goat at the time was expecting the Flippers to handle the lakers as well. Now that he's seen what this win will mean for LeBrons legacy, he is sending his cronies like that sorry a-s crackhead scottie pippen to spew nonsense and try to create false narratives. We are going to filet your goat and his legacy, I promise you. LeBron is not slowing down anytime soon. Death by a thousand cuts. 2 Likes

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:19pm On Sep 30, 2020 |
LeBron is about to pull off what no one in the history of the NBA has been able to pull off. This isn't just going to be a championship parade, its going to be a coronation.

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:44pm On Sep 30, 2020 |
WeissVonner:You must be some type of comedian. Like Bron can make anybody play? The only two teams that literally wanted to leave the bubble were the Lakers and the Clippers. Hell Bron couldn't stop his own teammates from not showing up at the bubble what makes you think he would stop anyone that wanted out. Lmaooooooo WeissVonner:There is nothing your LeNomad could have done if everyone else wanted to play. What's best for his pocket? Is this the Air Jordan league or NBA? His team is not even in the bubble neither is his team relevant. He literally had no dog in this fight. Laughable that you think the GOAT cares about the Clippers or Lakers. Supremely laughable WeissVonner:This win does nothing to his legacy. All we see is a guy who added the guy with the all-time 3rd highest ppg in playoff history in his prime. He better win the damn championship. Kawhi did more last year without the luxury of an AD so restttt The nerve of y'all. How you the GOAT if you need a teammate averaging 29-10 the entire playoffs. Victor Oladipo will win the title if he had such a teammate Btw I thought y'all swore Scottie couldn't stand Jordan. Which is it fellas? I'm sure if he said something pro LeNomad y'all would lap it up |
