You have not watched any of the games. It is screaming through your posts.

Successfully guarded my foot. Both players have gotten most of the shots they wanted. It just did not fall. Curry of 2015/16 will average 40ppg in 25mins going by the type of shots he has missed.
Lol, gotten most of the shots they wants? Not entirely true
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 8:07am On May 09, 2019
If KD is out, i predict, Curry will get at least 10 free throws in game 6, he will become the driver, and all fouls will become glaring. The guy gets fouled all day while doing his runs. Did you realize when Curry was driving in the 4th, a lot of guys were wide open for threes, draymond green and Jerebko especially.
Eruditor:


If Curry is on his level. They can't stop him. They have not even stopped him in this series. He has just not been himself.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 8:17am On May 09, 2019
We need as many bodies as we can get for that guy.
Eruditor:


LOL.

Bucks and Rockets are 2 teams I fear for different reasons. Rockets because the NBA cheat for them or fall for their antics. Bucks because they have an unstoppable player in Giannis.

That's usually the case when a major threat gets off before the end of a game. It kinda takes the opposition team unaware, because KD was in their original plan, and suddenly he wasn't. Kind of like when Lebron got injured against GS. GS still got blown out in that game. But in the subsequent games without Lebron what happened?

What game is that?

Stop talking claptrap. Do you think we started watching basketball yesterday?

Your own is to listen to Nick Wright and come here to post rubbish. Go and watch the game and see the type of wide-open 3s Curry missed today and all series long. In fact, the 3pt shots he made were more difficult than his misses.

I feel it will force him to not be cute and passive but to attack the paint as much as possible and collapse their defense. Expect players like Jerebko to play very well with the wide open shots they will have.

It won't be easy because Refs will cheat like they did in 15/16 to get an extension of a series but if Curry goes back to the guy he was even during the regular season, this will end in 6.

They don't necessary have to stop him offensively, but if they key on him defensively and make him work hard on that end(he might even get into foul trouble because of this). Then he either will be more tired especially given the fact he will have to play upwards of 40mins or he might then be in foul trouble.

Lol. It's easy to say all these now that you know KD ain't playing. I don't want to hear you mention KD when you guys get swept in game 6 without him.
How do they sweep a team 4 games to 3.

Its the opposite really, I feel like if he signs with the Lakers that's what everyone will say so thats probably not going to happen.
Kyrie does not strike me as someone that cares about public opinion

KarnThornheart:


People really forget cousins was in the MVP conversation before he went down. He's not a point centre but he too was racking up triple doubles. Unfortunately the twin towers didn't make the playoffs together but boogie would have taken a lot of scalps that year too. That version of cousins was a monster.
But he went down as early as January, Jokic and the Nuggets were down 2 of their starters. And they still finished with the second seed

Boogie put up numbers but it could be argued New Orleans played better after he got hurt

I feel like the celtics expended so much negative emotional energyduring the season, they really dont have enough energy to muster a fight.

I know yall want to call Kyrie out, and yeah, I agree he deserves major blame. But what of all your role players that spent all season yapping about how they didnt need Kyrie to reach ECF?

I think your team is young, and they bought into thr media circus of evil guys like SAS and Jalen Rose. This is a terrible way for a team with so much promise to go out!
Like Shaq always said Phil Jackson used to tell him "Beware of the switch, cos when you turn it on it might not work" the truth is the Celtics showed us who they are all season long and we refused to believe them

I think Kyrie must shoulder majority of the blame. He wanted to be the #1 guy, the leader and he failed woefully. He was 6/21 last night and has arguably been worse than Westbrick. He didn't make shots, he didn't get his teammates involved, just kept jacking shot after ill-advised shot!

I won't hold Kyrie responsible for the terrible play of Tatum and Hayward though but since the competition and quality of teams in the East have improved it would have been a bit naïve to believe the Celtics without Kyrie would have made the Finals this year. This is however not a case of Kyrie playing well and the role players holding him down. He shot 25/83 in the series!!

4 guys on Milwaukee shot better than that from 3pt range

Couldn't catch the GSW game, just went through the play by play, the Rockets really blew this one. They stunk up the joint. CP3 is one hell of a choker geezz. This was the best opportunity they had to beat GSW in this series.
Big props to Curry he stepped up in the 4th

Lol, what happened to the wide open threes Curry and Clay was getting when KD was driving to the rim? Or do you now prefer Jerebko taking threes than Curry taking them?

We were losing this game with KD on the court and then won it as soon as he left. Not because we don't need him but because other players stepped up. That is who we have always been. All that rubbish from so-called analysts is for ratings.
I think we will just need to get more inside the paint point.Pass ball to players for easy dunks.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:34pm On May 09, 2019
Whoever assembled this bucks team is a don. Bledsoe, Middleton, Giannis, Mirotic, Lopez. Plus Brogdon, Ilyasova and even george hill has been playing well. This team is really really good.

From time to time is different from 4 straight. Or different from whatever fvcked up % he has been shooting by. Bomb dey your head?

Jerebko is a renowned spot up shooter. Sadly, that is not Curry's game even though he can thrive at it once in a while. So when I say spot up shooters like that will have a good game I know what I am saying. Also, Curry has no reason to be passive, there is no KD to bail us out. And I will take Curry any and every day when he is not passive.
