After watching this game tonight, my fear of the Clippers just nosedived. I know it's just a regular season game, but more confident of taking them in the post season than I was in the opening day of the season.

And one more thing, don't sleep on the KING. I keep saying this but people won't hear. Don't sleep on this man.

PSS: those were some poverty numbers from Kawhi, 27/2/0. Wtf is that?


Nosedived .ke.. it was an offday from the clippers bench today ... production was very low and unusual... I think the Long gap btw games was the cause ... cry

For championships, you'll need more than a duo.

A40:
Or trios sef

That's the reason why I would never blame players for forming superteams. Not Lebron, Not Durant, Not kawhi.

Maybe it starts with great duos, but it ends with that third guy. You are not winning the championship without that third guy. Infact the complexion of any series deep into the playoffs today usually depends on which third guy shows up. You could have anomalies though.

This is the reason why Giannis needs the Likes of Khris step up. The league is all about Great Duos right now.

They have already begun writing off Lou Williams. When playoffs start I don't want to hear pim.

I don't want to hear about refs, load management, depth or other megedefegede excuses

Perhaps that was bad from Kawhi. But your King shot poorly. It would do you a lot of good to mention AD, maybe that comment should be don't sleep on AD. I hope he brings that to the Playoffs.

This game does not say much about any of the teams at this point. In fact the distribution of the points gives a hint of a potential 7-game series. Such a weird distribution. Perhaps the 4th game might provide a better picture. We are not sure Avery can provide such a contribution 4 times in a series, or perhaps, he and Kuzma can alternate. grin. We are also not sure Lou can be this bad 4 times in a series. The lakers better hope he will be.

You made a rookie mistake. So you now know KD wasn't there when GSW went 73-9. And don't be salty about it. It's ok to make mistakes. grin

14 FT attempts should tell you he was being fouled repeatedly.

I will admit, i wasn't expecting 12-14. That was good. Perhaps the Clippers were not expecting it either, hence the hack. grin

Best believe that whoever Bradley is guarding gon have an off night. Beverley got cooked, when Lou came on he got cooked too. We have excellent guard defenders in Bradley and Caruso, and we just added Waiters. At this point I have to say there's noting the Clippers guards can do in that series.

The Bucks really want to strengthen Giannis' MVP case by getting blown out in his absence.

Hard to argue over this 2 game span.

Voters will conveniently forget the prior 3 encounters he was thoroughly owned and focus on these ones where a certain Anthony Davis also contributed 62 points.

Provided they don't win the title then no biggie if he wins regular season MVP
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 12:38am On Mar 09, 2020
Probably true, but that's not enough, he's got to produce offensively too. He got 2 points in the Bucks game. Yes 2 points. That was egregious. grin. He's been blunt offensively against Clippers as well.

When i thought his MVP case took a bad hit. We have on our hands a league of narratives.

At this point, we just have to let the Lebron fans enjoy this win while it lasts. grin. And Lebron seems to be the only subject being discussed in this win. AD quietly dropped 30.

That's the price you have to be willing to pay and sacrifice. AD could have dropped 50 today he would never make the headlines. I'm sure e go dey pain am deep down but he's trying to win, which he's not really done on his own so what do you do

That's the cost of a title "Sacrifice" and "Humility".
LeBron had to learn what it took to win from wade and Riley.
Then you have clowns like Lillard and Beal trying to be the one eyed man in the land of the blind.

I see Anthony picking LeBron's brain and then going on to blossom.

There is a beast in that man, the guy gave golden state fits in his only playoff series. He nearly averaged 40 points grin

If you watch Bucks games, you'll notice they've been quite lethargic since the All Star Break.

Reason why teams are stock piling on talents now. You can't just have one or two guys drop 20+ points. Now you need like 3 of em'

This will count for more as earlier in the season, teams were still finding their groove. AD on current form has all but guaranteed himself All First Team NBA and possibly Top 5/6 in the MVP Votings.

If everyone is Fit, they've got one hell of a chance of doing just that. Also Lebron deserves one more ring before He hangs up His sneakers.

Green had 0 points, Howard had 0, Caruso had 0, Kuz had 8. If you have a hot had, we gon give you the ball. Bradley played 33 minutes, which is unusual. Rondo played 22 minutes, which is unusual. They were both good scoring and playmaking. The points could have been spread across if Bradley wasn't scoring.
