Donlittle:Lol phuck Dwight! The team is barely recovering from the Rondo debacle and you want to add another player with diva tendencies? Go for Hasan Whiteside. Dwight is allergic to greatness and past it |

birdman:Spurs, Clippers? A Warriors/Clippers series will be fire! I'd rest Steph the rest of this Rockets series if I were Kerr. Iggy, Klay, Livingston are very capable of handling Steph's scoring load 1 Like |

A40: Spurs and Clippers are old school type teams. Like GSW, Houston has tons f players that can play multiple positions, like we have forwards that can play small ball act as stretch 4s, knocking down 3s reliably (Jsmoove, Ariza) - in that sense Houston is a constant matchup nightmare. And I believe this is the direction the league is going - a team of with lots of positionless players Yep, everyone is waiting for gsw/clippers series. I've been saying the clippers will make things difficult for GSW. They will win imo. Clippers ran into a houston team that was hard to prepare for last year. This year, the door is wide open. |

Donlittle:His flailing didn't work today. He made some and lost some. The refs called some yeye fouls when he attempted 3s and had like 3 of those during that match. One thing i noticed is, The rockets are not willing to play maybe as a team.. No communication, poor chemistry, even poor individual performance and unnecessary ISO plays from Harden. And harden being the star player has refused to assume the leadership position in that team.. Imagine Harden working with Howard/Capella on pick and rolls as much as he ISOs.. Maybe pick and role to drive or side pick n pop just like CP3 and Jordan, Drummond and Reggie Jackson, Bogut and Steph.. It'll give him better chances to shoot, save time or creates better chances for corner shooters.. But instead, he loves his ISO, flail drive, and killer step backs that no longer hurt a fly. I believe if Dwight and Capella can't create their shots, work with them on pick and rolls. And BTW Bickerstaff abi Shuttlecock or what's his name keeps giving Capella and Kj McDaniels 3mins while the just 3 players come from the bench. Not like they'll make it past 1st round but Houston has as much good players a OKC but as a team, they're just not interested in doing anything. How do fans even cope with their type of game?? How?? 1 Like |

birdman:Don't expect too much from the Clippers. We're good at clipping their wings.. The series to watch out for is the GSW vs SPURS series. 2 Likes |

birdman:Wait bro, you said Clippers will beat GSW in a 7 game series or you meant vice versa? |

birdman:How are you a matchup nightmare for a team that has been beaten you 14 times in 15 attempts? Its like saying Arsenal are a matchup problem for Barcelona. I wouldn't play Ariza at the 4 either Clippers pissed that series away. After beating the Spurs and going 3-1 up vs the Rockets they had no reason not to seal the deal I think the Clippers would worry the Warriors for sure but they still have the DeAndre Jordan problem. Can you leave him on late in a close game? Their best defender is Luc Mbah' a Moute who is minus 1 on offense. How do you ration his minutes |

Brad Stevens would be beating his head because the starting line up selection was poor. |

Mynd44:wow dats a surprise abegi playoffs never start for Warriors and spurs... They are still playing scrimmage like Iggy said. Game 2 is where playoffs begins for them ie OKC and Clippers. Am bored sef cuz they avnt started the playoffs |
Re: The NBA Begins by Mynd44: 10:16am On Apr 20, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee:I dont see OKC or Clippers giving Spurs issues. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 10:18am On Apr 20, 2016 |
Mynd44:I meant okc for spurs and Clippers for Warriors. Although it wud be a match up I'd love to watch .... The energy wud be high and intensity hyped. The real matchup wud be spurs vs Warriors wcf |
Re: The NBA Begins by Mynd44: 10:24am On Apr 20, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee: Both match-ups might end up in blow-outs night after night |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 10:35am On Apr 20, 2016 |
The playoffs has been disappointing so far to be honest.. Lets wait for the second round.. Utah Jazz would've been a better replacements. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 10:51am On Apr 20, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:true but I don't want to see an Utah Jazz against a curry less Warriors. They would cause unnecessary problems... I like our cruise abeg. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 12:34pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee:oh come on.. They just deserve a shot at the playoffs. The houston makes it looks like there are no better teams to play with. Well that's the advantage of being No 1 seed |
Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 12:47pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
I have a feeling Detroit n blazers wud take 1 today |
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 12:54pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee: Lmao you really hate Clippers and James that much, eh? Don't worry dear, Cavs win today will be a blowout. No mistakes will be done today |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:34pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
Mynd44:Clippers go give you issues ooh |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:39pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
Roland17:I never get chance respond to that your post. I like your optimism but I just think the loss of Bradley is too much for the Celts to recover. In him you lost your 2nd best player and best perimeter defender I'm curious as to who you would have put in Bradley's place |
