Roland17:


The Suns rely on transition/ fast break offense. The success of transition offense is heavily reliant on defensive rebound, which they are struggling with.
The GM didn't use his brain assembling this team at all. There's a glaring lack of dawg.

I don't know what's going on with these guys but I look at a KD for example and he looks almost annoyed that the TWolves are getting physical, like he should just be allowed to show skills and score like it's another game at Rucker park.

Durant said offense is what wins championships, not defense. When he was challenged, he claimed he knew better. I expect Suns to try to out magic twolves in game 3 again. Anyhow its too late to learn how to play team defense, if all season long you believed offense would always give you the edge. Might as well go down with what you believe

Heats making the series interesting.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 1:59am On Apr 25
White and Porzingis have done nothing in this game so far.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 2:07am On Apr 25
Heat has made the 20 3s in this game.

That should be a franchise record for them in a playoff game, right?

Lol. KD and his hippy picasso hoop beliefs, he might be a purist at heart but it's naive of him for him to think offense alone wins championships.

He might be one of the best scorers ever but what use is that when your opponent can knock you off your square. And the gulf in offense is not that wide between him and his competitors especially at this level

Lol. Wetin Celtics dey do grin

They've met their 3pt spamming match. If I'm the Heat fvck it. I'm spamming another 50 next game. It's my only path to victory anyway

That's their alone chance since Butler is not available.

22 3s today so far. Franchise record in the playoff.

If the Heat takes any of game 3 or 4, this series becomes a banana peel.

Then the Meerkat should just respect himself wherever the series end and never return to the City of Boston because e no go funny.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:34pm On Apr 25
Chet Holmgren really cooked this last game.

You wonder if you're the Lakers and you go on to lose to the Nuggets if you should have thrown that 7-8 play in game.

Saw somewhere they have led this series 68% of the time but yet somehow they're still down 2. Have a hard time believing they don't beat the Thunder at least once based on how well they've played

I think they'll still get eliminated in either game 4 or 5. 3 points spamming won't continue to save them like last night with their very injury hit roster. Roland's meerkat will live to fight another playoff round. grin
But the loss really surprised me sha.

If Lakers lose tonight, that's the end.

The end of the coach for sure. Even if they win. That dumbo move to slow down the clock and let nuggets defense get set every possession in the 3rd q needs to be punished

Lebron was cool with it too cuz it let him rest

Lebron cant keep up with the heavy minutes and if AD gets into foul trouble early again tonight, that's the end.

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:40am On Apr 26
Wasn't expecting the Magic to destroy Cavs like that

What a performance by Embiid, they said he had mild signs of Bell's palsy. That's pretty serious.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:43am On Apr 26
Lakers are 1/14 from 3. Unbelievable

Both teams combined are 4/30.

Nuggets were down 12. Now up 1

It's the turn of Lakers to do a 8pts comeback in the 4th.

Let's see if they have what it takes down the stretch.
