You all are sleeping on the raptors. And you should know by now all this Cavs struggle is artificial. They are going to the finals as long as the king is there. Kyrie knows this too. The team is a playoff built team.

Thats what i am thinking. The Cavs usually struggle during regular season and take over during the playoff. I still have a feeling Cavs might take the celtics down during playoff.

Lol. You're wrong in all of these...


PG and Thunder didn't fool around 70% of the season. It takes time for a team to adjust and they did that. They've had one of the best records since that happened and that's since December 1st.

Westbrook didn't make it a starter cos more guards are better. Lol. Curry is the only west PG better than him this season. He didn't start cos the fans voted two backcourt players that were better and more popular i.e. Curry and Harden.

Klay Thompson may play like Reggie Miller in your own opinion but definitely doesn't have the same type of role Miller did. Please!!!

Westbrook didn't become less selfish. If he did, he'd share the ball more and not still take the most shots, right? Well, no. His assists/secondary assists are down and still takes more shots than everybody. The only significant thing this year is his reduced usage rate cos of the inclusion of Melo and PG. Even at that, He has the 2nd highest usage rate in the NBA. How the hell would PG score "much more"?

That's how you said PG is the main scorer but Westbrook takes the most shots in the NBA. Take ya time...

Cheers

Sorry. Its true. You are right; Westbrook is still the main scorer.
Problem is I watched most of okc's games these year and noticed he was taken fewer 3point shots as compared to earlier in the season.


I never said Thomson had same role as miller did. But he is as good (at worst, close) a catch and shoot player as miller was.

Anyway, thanx for the education.

Now we would all rest, your juju from Nigeria has given cousins injury to miss all stars and now being replaced by Paul George you wanted in grin

I think Celtic have two advantages, they good on both offense and defense. If their defense can handle Lebron, then their offense can punish Cavs defense. That’s how I see it.


Celtics are like 22nd in offense...

What are you saying?

Not the way I wanted PG13 to enter especially if he's replacing the best big man in the NBA.

I'm gutted to say the least...

He's in love with Curry. I'm not even joking. He will defend everything he does with the last drop of his blood cheesy

If only all bandwagoners were this loyal.


He's in love with all Warriors players and there's nothing bad in it. That's what fans do.

That guy can make Zaza feel like the best player from Europe.

I go just avoid those people arguments. The back and forth with no landing gives me headache...

Sure man. Not because you realized the person who got to pick first in the drafts had all the advantage and had nothing to do with being a good GM.
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 10:44pm On Jan 28, 2018
These season ending injuries on main players are really not fair to these teams especially midway in, where you have limited time to change tactics.

Get well soon, Roberson...

Injury has always been part of the game. It's so sad when it happens especially to key players in a team but it is what it is mehn.
One thing I know is LeBron (the KING) won't be down to injury cme playoff time. Same can't be said to players like Curry, KD, CP, Harden etc

Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 1:36am On Jan 29, 2018
Sixers vs Thunder has to be the only matchup between the top 5 defensive teams that is always lit

Adams bullying Embiid on the boards

Simmons and WB doing the back and forth dunks. Westbrook has attempted 20 FGs in the first half. Lol

Another triple OT, dear Lord...
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 2:01am On Jan 29, 2018
PG13 don spoil this third quarter. Mtchewww
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:30am On Jan 29, 2018
Give LeBron four shooters and he will bring peace to the middle East lol.

I'm not saying IT played bad but we played much better especially on the defensive end with him sitting. Good game. Suffice it to say we play better with LeBron as sole primary ball handler and are better off with someone that provides something else as the second option.

See you in Detroit on Tuesday pistons.
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 2:39am On Jan 29, 2018
Thunder: Defense great, offense good, bench not so much. That's why they won't get to the finals this year. Too much load on top those starters


Regardless, I would want a 7 game series between these two teams. God can grant me this miracle. Lol

hmmnm..lemme count how many shooters lebron has in his team nd they are as follows; Isaiah Thomas, j.r smith, crowder, Kevin love, Frye, Korver...I don't think he need shooters,d problem is they play small nd they have good defence so they need to play defence nd also catch rebounds..they also need a big man which will catch rebound nd blocks

Lol okay. Let's pretend that the first statement makes any sense.

He has those guys but he doesn't always play at the same time with them does he? They don't always make their shots do they?

The second statement shocked

I don't even want to delve into that one. Can you please elaborate what you're trying to say?

If you're trying to say the Cavs need to play defense and get a rebounder and rim protector well.. duuuuh! For lack of a better word.

But what I'm talking about is what he can bring to the offense with shooters around like he did today. He did that consistently in Miami and he does it in Cleveland. Watch the Cavs Vs Pacers game 3 in the fourth quarter of the playoffs when Kyrie and love were seated and they came back from 20 down.

bro u re right BT am just stating d problem nd who they need to get in d team...

what I meant to write is lebron's team plays small in size on the court and they dont play defense because every good offense starts with a good defense..

Apparently Love and Jeff confirmed it was an inside joke.

As to him demanding a trade, you'd like that wouldn't you? How about they trade the little ankle biter who is the source of all this instead?
Lool who is talking about the Jeff Green and Love matter? Didn't you see how Love handed the ball to IT?

Love deserves to be treated with a bit more respect is all I'm saying. If D.Rose went on a two month sabbatical without any fuss Love surely should be given a day off without his integrity questioned

The real IT was 6'1. Chris Paul is 6'0. What do you mean the league has changed? What do you mean only "slightly" less vertically challenged than IT who is 5'9?
When was the last time the best player on a Championship team was 6'1? There's a ceiling for any team with it's best player barely 6feet with 6'10 guys that can move like guards. Its just the way it is
