SmooshCHN:I listed like 5 black coaches who got jobs with little or no coaching experience. Nobody cried privilege when David Blatt was schemed out of the job and it was given to Ty Lue. When Magic won his first title and ran the coach out of town. You have the Pacers, Bulls, Pelicans, Sixers still looking for coaches. What's the whining about? How many black coaches can we confidently point out have acquitted themselves well enough in their respective jobs? How many were given opportunities that didn't disappoint? Is it Gentry? Is it Fisher? Kidd? Brown? Isiah Thomas? Which of them didn't fail Abeg these people will not focus on real problems and would rather whine and lament |

Yeah..I feel saddened by how we left the playoffs but I'm super proud of this team for fighting to the end. In general,it's been a great playoff with good officiating tbh (would have loved Eruditor's opinion on this) and the teams have given us good games...I want the best team to win. Birdman, you're not getting one over me again if we meet next in the playoffs,lolz but congrats man..Roland,your boys have been amazing and A40,pls continue with your great analysis.. #ThunderUp 4 Likes |

If only Jimmy butler has been hitting his free throws this game would be over by now. Meanwhile what's with coach bud and restricting Giannis's minutes |

Your MVP missing an open layup with his team down 9 with 40 seconds to go. You hate to see it. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:03am On Sep 05, 2020 |
Miami owns these people's souls. Philly really shat the bed letting Butler go. This Bucks team na fraud though. While the game was close their collective buttcheeks was tightening you could tell no one wanted the smoke. Such a fraud of a team. The minute the Heat went on that run they folded. All of them 3 Likes |

A40: Giannis has not performed this post season. He has been very poor, there is 2 ways to put it. We have been very hard on the others but Giannis has not showed up. |

The Raptors needed a win down 0-2, so Nick Nurse played Kyle Lowry 46 minutes, OG Anunoby 45 minutes, and Fred VanVleet 41 minutes. The Bucks needed a win down 0-2, so Mike Budenholzer played Giannis Antetokounmpo (soon-to-be two-time MVP) 35 minutes ... again. |
Re: The NBA Begins by DeeMain(m): 2:14am On Sep 05, 2020 |
It's like Giannis was injured. His ankle. May have contributed to his below par performance and the number of minutes he played. The Bucks folded, 4th quarter. They have no soul. The Heat! Who would have thought? A broom! Damn! 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:20am On Sep 05, 2020 |
The 'MVP' of the league is about to get swept. When I argued that there is no way Giannis is MVP ahead of LeBron folks started bringing me skewed stats like PER and rebounds. I mean, there's loads of shitty teams in the east for you to be able to amass those stats. Think about this for a second: Beal and Tray both averaged 29 points in the east despite having a shitty record. Lavine averaged 25. Everybody who averaged more than 25 in the west is either in the playoffs or was in playoff contention. It's very easy to get great numbers in east. |

donlittle25:He's persona non grata over there. I don't know who keeps pushing these crazy narratives that black coaches don't get opportunities with little coaching experience |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:17am On Sep 05, 2020 |
etidy:Only God knows what he's keeping Giannis for. Maybe there's another postseason that we don't know about. A bit bizarre that he and Middleton sat for 12 full minutes I won't put the loss down to Giannis's minutes today though. They were up 12 entering the 4th but somehow contrived to score 13 points the entire 4th quarter. They couldn't get a free throw because everyone was too pussy to go hard in the paint. I don't see the use of a Bledsoe or Middleton especially Middleton if he can't go get a bucket in a tight half court game like this (since we already know Giannis na liability) The Bucks had nobody who could go 3 straight possessions on offense. Nobody wanted the smoke |

This Rockets team is like the Blazers team, except they actually do some work defensively. Can this go to 7? .Abi na initial gragra. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:31am On Sep 05, 2020 |
Roland17:It's almost like Giannis has checked out mentally. I'm not seeing that alpha dog mentality at all. Too much coach coach instead of focusing on his own weaknesses. He's been all over the place, perhaps he has seen that this thing pass him power and wants to japa. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:44am On Sep 05, 2020 |
See how efficient Harden looks when he's not spamming 3's. Really unless you're Steph or Klay you shouldn't be taking more than 5 3's a game in key playoff battles as the #1 scoring option |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:09am On Sep 05, 2020 |
Lakers can't stop a nosebleed right now. You can't be trading Buckets with this rocket team whose guards are all in their bag tonight. Their size being nullified completely |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:23am On Sep 05, 2020 |
Make Lakers go dey prepare for Game 2. If Eric Gordon is balling like MJ then all hope is lost for the Lakers. You can't have all 3 balling |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:37am On Sep 05, 2020 |
The Rockets continue to play some very good defense. |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:40am On Sep 05, 2020 |
DeeMain: No two ways about this. They completely folded. Roland17: Yup!....He has certainly been piss poor. The buck stops with Him and Coach Bud. There is something just not sitting right with Him this post season and I can't really place a finger on what that is. Whatever the reason, He needs to go into the offseason with a clear head and really think about His future. A change of scenery might be all He needs. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:40am On Sep 05, 2020 |
Shout out to the Tuckwagon. How is this man 6'5 and always holding his own in the paint FFS |
Re: The NBA Begins by DeeMain(m): 4:45am On Sep 05, 2020 |
Rockets win. This small ball Rockets are holding their own defensively against the Lakers. Hmmm.This is going to be a very tough series. |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:47am On Sep 05, 2020 |
EG went off today. That won't happen too often However if It does, it will be one long series for the Lakers. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:30am On Sep 05, 2020 |
Lol. Premature talks all over the place. Same scenario in round one happening all over again. Lakers were their own downfall in this game, nothing else. The team shot poorly in general, but AD and LeBron didn't do or shoot enough. Bron had 15 attempts (7/15). He should be shooting the ball 20 times at least. And AD wasn't contained, he just didn't shoot enough. He was 10 of 16. That's 62% shooting. His mid-range was falling, I wonder why he didn't take more. And AD and LeBron attempted a combined 9 free throws. That's appalling. You won't win a ball game if your two stars shoot 9 free throws combined, no matter who you're playing. It shows how unaggressive they were. But I'd be more concerned if the Lakers lost with good shooting. Bron and AD need to shoot 45 combined. I trust Vogel to make some adjustments going forward. And we know LeBron won't be this pedestrian again. I'm positive. This wasn't a statement by any means from the Rockets. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 7:45am On Sep 05, 2020 |
chic2pimp: I missed all games today. But Im guessing Giannis still cannot solve double and triple teams. At this point, he is looking more like an elite slasher and less like a top 5 nba player. He needs to talk to Lebron this offseason (he shoulda taken that movie role), to learn how to see the game at another level. Be able to recognize defensive schemes and adjust... |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 7:49am On Sep 05, 2020 |
I didnt watch the game but looking at the box score, this win makes me nervous. Gordon went off. Westbrook went off. But on the Lakers side no one other than lebron and AD did much. This wont happen for 4 games in 7 |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 8:17am On Sep 05, 2020 |
Perhaps Lebron is trying to get used to the Rockets small ball. |
