Bruhh the way they marched like The White Walkers in GOT. This type of loss can force LeNomad to retirement. How do you gameplan knowing no lead is safe. 10 straight losses 2 Likes 1 Share |

The Nuggets are so thin. I don’t know if they can push this things with that type of bench. They are getting nothing and having to play starters very heavy minutes. |

Roland17: They really should've tanked that play-in game and avoided Nuggets at all cost and hope another team help them knock them out. 1 Like 1 Share |

Roland17: Really thin. Braun did later help with some crucial points though. Jackson and Watson needs to chip in for them to stand any chance against a better team like Boston. |

birdman:You are wrong Sir. OKC since drafting KD only missed the playoffs in the 07/08 and 08/09 seasons. They also missed it in 14/15 when KD had a season long injury. Since then, they never missed the playoffs until CP3 left after the 19/20 season. KD left 2016, Victor Oladipo joined Westbrook that same year at OKC. Paul George joined 2017 and was still there when Westbrook left 2018. Shai got drafted 2018 and played alongside George and Chris Paul who played the 2019/2020 season. Throughout this period, OKC never missed the playoffs. They were 14th seed at the end of the 20/21 and 21/22 seasons. Josh Giddey was drafted 2021. Lugentz Dort went undrafted in the 2019 draft. Chet Holmgren & Jalen Williams were drafted in 22. These guys are the youngest team in the NBA after Spurs. There was nothing patient about their rebuild. It was ultra swift and ultra effective, just two seasons of tanking. By 2023, they were in the Play-in. The one person they couldn't make use of last year, Holmgren was ready this year. |

larride:I feel Timberwolves stand a better chance against Boston than Denver. That twin wall of Gobert and KAT will always be a problem. Also, there is nothing that Tatum and Brown can do that Antman can't do save for rebounding which he doesn't need to. They have also got a better bench than Denver. The only advantage that Boston has is their ability to knock off their opposition in 6 games or less while Denver, Clippers, OKC and Timberwolves all drag themselves into game 7s. |

larride:Lol... Very predictable. When I made that comment, I knew it was coming |
Re: The NBA Begins by kendrick9(m): 7:54am On Apr 23 |
A40:Mentally they are drained...It feels like no matter what they do, they still can't beat the Nuggets. This is like that moment when you playing a video game and there comes a stage where you're just stucked, you keep trying and trying to pass that stage but you keep failing. And then you feel like smashing the pad on the wall. This is it for Lakers. AD and Bron have had excellent games. DLO showed up today, yet it still not enough. Another point is Rui and Austin have also failed to show up. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 11:34am On Apr 23 |
Like I said, the Nuggets would win a close game 9 out of 10 times. They are very efficient in the clutch. If you want to win them, ensure the game isn't close in the 4th quarter... This also goes for the Celtics. Blow them away and make sure it's not close.... 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:39pm On Apr 23 |
kendrick9:Hahaha. Don't remind me of Driver on Ps1 that year. Just to start the game proper you go smell your yansh It's definitely mental. I don't believe the Nuggets come back this predictably against any other team Rui has been poorly utilized this series. He gets to guard but no plays run for him on the offensive end. By middle of the game these guys are cold and start bricking it. Just look at Nuggets Game 1 all starter guys took at least 10 shots. That's how it's done |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:45pm On Apr 23 |
I saw LeNomad LeWhinin about officiating over blowing a 20pt lead 1/19 in GW shots in the playoffs and regular season since joining the Lakers. Klutch sports una This imposter will never be the GOAT Nuggets better get ready. The Lakers will get a generational whistle on Thursday. Don't be surprised if we see something like 30 FTs to 5 in favor of the Lakers. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: The NBA Begins by kendrick9(m): 12:56pm On Apr 23 |
A40:Rui and Austin havent show up at all, it's clear the team don't trust them to make shots. Man even AD didn't attempt any shot in the whole quarter. Your best player had no attempts in a whole quarter that's really bad... I get Lebron took charge in the 2nd half, but AD needs to take charge if he wants to be the main man which he should at this stage of his career. He needs to stop being passive or maybe he's comfortable being a No.2. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:10pm On Apr 23 |
A40: AD’s post game was more mature, responsible and held his team accountable. “There were stretches we looked like we did not know what we were doing”. Ajala has contributed 9 TO I think in 2 games. He needs to stop whining and play basketball. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:39pm On Apr 23 |
Roland17:The mic drop was just peach. They had the lead and their PTSD made them scared. They were scared to death and then the tough shots stopped falling Rather than admitting they folded under pressure the great impostor is blaming refs. But the refs didn't stop you from leading for almost 48 minutes Shameless and embarrassing scenes. Reminder of their free throw differential compared to the rest of the league 1 Like 1 Share

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 5:07pm On Apr 23 |
Lebron's reponse was very disappointing. Yeah, I understand covering up for coach's crappy rotations, but trying to blame this on officiating is not goat behavior. And those close to him, if they love him need to pull him aside. Maybe like a Magic who has nothing to gain and can speak freely without worrying about consequences. Because if Lakers get swept by the Nuggets, Lebron's reputation as Goat material will be severely damaged. A goat candidate is not just a dog in a game, he must be able to inspire his teammates into becoming dogs in at least one game, regardless of coaching, and they should be able to punch a superior opponent in the mouth at least once. At least once! And there are no crutches like injuries to use this time, even if AD decides to "manufacture" some leg injury in game 3, this team is still stacked enough. If not, it would have been better for Lakers to have never made this playoffs. 1 Like |

KAT is such an emotional player. Every post season, it feels like you have to remind him about staying in the moment and avoid get into early foul trouble. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:30am On Apr 24 |
I thought the Suns were the more skilled offensive team. Why is it the Wolves going on all the runs? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:37am On Apr 24 |
A40: The Suns rely on transition/ fast break offense. The success of transition offense is heavily reliant on defensive rebound, which they are struggling with. |
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 3:34am On Apr 24 |
Suns. Smhs. Fùcking Gobert scored more point than Beal and same point with Durant even after playing less minutes. Gobert Just pack up that franchise |
