A40: Well he spoke a knee surgery into existence when threatened to have one to avoid playing for the Cavs if he doesn't get traded. I guess it's only fitting that my curse befalls him in the form of a knee surgery. I wonder who's next... |

SmooshCHN: Yea, he played trash in the last 2 or 3 games that is for sure. But Lonzo is an intelligent player. I would even say as intelligent as Lebron. Skill-set will be built with time. There was a time to beat Lebron you forced him to become a jumpshooter. These days, if he had 4 secs to look at the rim from 3pt, he made it. He improved. Lonzo will. |

birdman: Nna mehn, You said Curry and Harden got superstar calls that I should not complain. I proved that wrong by showing the huuuuge disparity in numbers even when Curry was the best player in the league. Then you tried to justify Harden's numbers by the spacing and 3pt shooting and talent all of which I said were non-existent in the previous years that he still got the same super star calls. Now, you have settled for his shooting, strength and skill on the ball, all of which I agree that he does have but I am using other people that are better than him in each of those skills that did not get the recompense for that specific skill. Curry shoots better. Yet Harden gets more FTs off shots than him. Lebron is stronger going to the paint. Harden still gets more FTs off driving than him. Kyrie is more skilled. Ditto above. Russell is quicker and enjoyed superstar calls only last year but not so much this year, even though he drives more frequently than Harden. (Russell has cut down on the 3pt and 2pt shooting due to bad %). Then I concluded that there is an extra spice that you may be purposely ignoring: Harden hand checks and flops and the refs buy it. 2 Likes |

DevdanSanguine:Yeah I remember that. He really wanted out though. Looks like another smooth ride for the Cavs to the finals. Kevin Love has been balling at a very high level since he returned |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:21am On Mar 24, 2018 |
A40: He really has and we really look better in so many ways. Somehow few people are talking about the Kevin love effect. Bad side of playing with LeBron. |

A40: Nance and Hood are injury prone so I hope they stay healthy when it matters. TT is trash and with the depth we have he shouldn't even be playing if everyone's healthy. But uhhm yeah, even before the trade deadline, no one was going to stop us. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 2:08am On Mar 24, 2018 |
Shame no dey catch LeBron. Instead of him to rest or have a 1 day injury, he's here padding stats against a bottom tier Suns without Booker and Warren. Cristiano Ronaldo of Basketball Have some dignity, young man 1 Like |

Decale: He rests he's soft, he plays, he's padding stats. I guess there's no winning with simps. He's trying to play all 82. He'll rest in the fourth. Stop drinking the haterade. And BTW Ronaldo > Messi. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:15am On Mar 24, 2018 |
Decale: I don die for laughter, infact, my ribs dey kill me as I dey read this your post. The hustle is real. But you can't blame him, the Cavs are 2 wins from the 6th spot and 3 wins from the 7th spot, so Bron has to play each night to guarantee their 3rd spot. They need to play the first round at home at least na.

Yo this Boston team is grimy!! When did Marcus Morris turn to this baddo? He was mostly hit and miss in Detroit but is right now looking like the winner of the Morris-Bradley trade. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:34am On Mar 24, 2018 |
The warriors centers have a history of taking out the best player on the opposing team by falling "awkwardly" on them. Only fitting that my curse befalls curry by having one of their bigs take him out the same way. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:46pm On Mar 24, 2018 |
I can’t believe one athletic clumsy guy and one unathletic clumsy guy just happen to fall everyone and then and either take out the opposing player or their own player. Warriors should aim high as they can in the Western Conference. Avoid rockets in the playoffs till the WCF when curry is fully back healthy. I just don’t see a way you beat them without a healthy curry. Stranger things have happened though. Please you guys should get a new center please. This clumsy guys injuring players or could attempt to because of their clumsiness isn’t it. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:25pm On Mar 24, 2018 |
In my opinion, the Warriors had no business playing Curry last night especially if you have conceded the western conference to the Rockets like they claimed. Curry needs to be healthy for the Warriors to make a less stressful deep run in the postseason. I would have shut him down until the end of the regular season or maybe have him play the final two games at most. You can only roll the same ankle for so long without getting hurt. Even when he comes back for the post-season, I am wondering what his state of mind would be. Would he hesitate to drive to the bucket or engage in any activity under the rim? how would Kerr manage his minutes and plays? Steph is now 30, the youth of the 20's to bounce back from injuries especially joint injuries begin to wane. Steph and the Warriors have to manage his 30's carefully so he can play longer and that is the pragmatic truth. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:43pm On Mar 24, 2018 |
Roland17:well said. Hopefully they bring him back deep into the post season and not try to rush him back. I am sure they will hold on to the second spot anyways. Unless they meet the thunder in the first round or second round, I see no reason to rush him back until the western conference finals. |
