A40: There are players who solely build their game and career on athleticism. If you cant admit the importance of athleticism in basketball, there's no point arguing with you. |

WeissVonner:He had a sprained MCL do your research. Anyway don't worry about who I blame or who I don't blame, all I know is once you hit the court you're good enough to play. If you can play 41 minutes per game in 4 of 5 games then you're clearly not hobbled enough. Hobbled is the Miami Heat right now vs LeNomad WeissVonner:Unless Popovich has started playing basketball. Immaterial WeissVonner:What would you have had the Cavs realistically do? Who were the marquee free agents running to Cleveland? Who you choose to blame or commend on whatever grounds is not my business really WeissVonner:I would have asked where did they get the cap space WeissVonner:That is borne out of hypocrisy and double standards. My shit stinks less than yours mentality. Where was this energy for Ray Allen when he joined a team that already had Bron, Bosh and Wade? Why was there no outrage from you lot? How is it competing if you add him to an already stacked team. So trying to add Kawhi to a team already with AD and LeNomad is "trying to compete" yeye dey smell WeissVonner:It's a no-brainer a ring with the Nets would enhance KD's legacy. I don't think any objective person was including LeNomad in the GOAT discussion till he won in Cleveland WeissVonner:How are this year's Cavs, Knicks, Timberwolves any better than the bottom feeders of that era? Isaiah Thomas Celtics and a rubbish Pistons team without Ben Wallace would beat Kevin Johnson and Barkley? Payton, Malone and the Lakers? What a joke Your guy literally beat two .500 teams to get to a conference finals. The first decent team he faced he started shooting 38% from the field while averaging 6 turnovers per game WeissVonner:There are several clips showing that MJ faced zone. We have coaches like George Karl literally admitting they played zone on MJ. Try another line. Zone is an overrated defense anyway There you go lying again. You claimed MJ only focused on scoring and outsourced defending to Pippen only guarding little guys, then you claimed Magic torched Pippen, torching would imply he was shooting astronomically better than his average. Lo and behold the game you were referring to he literally took 5 shots Then you claimed Phil Jackson switching Pippen made the difference but lo and behold in the pivotal Game 3 where Scottie fouled out early who guarded Magic? That would be MJ. Then you went ahead to contradict yourself by posting stats that literally showed MJ guarding Magic for 60% of his possessions which is unheard of for the #1 offensive option to do guarding the opposition's best player majority of the time |

Lakers planning to start Caruso tonight. |

nairamaniac:At least you're a Jordan fan who is objective and sincere about other superstars(insert popular name here). That's really hard to find on this thread. |

Tinneh: You got me there. I didn't see that coming |
Re: The NBA Begins by nairamaniac: 10:34pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
Tinneh: u are welcome to the game/NBA. its never tooo late. and I assure u that u are on the right track by following this thread. but I wonder why Durant isn't in ur top5 in the league. durant is on anybody's TOP3. I just hope his injuries/hiatus wouldn't affect his return to the game. u need to catch up with other legends though. only Kobe should be in that ur list of legends 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Tinneh: 11:14pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
nairamaniac: I listed only those I've watched play Didn't get to see much of Durant in the finals last year, I'm not sure he played throughout this season tho For the legends I hear of Jordan jabbar and more With time I'll check out their clips on tube Thanks |
Re: The NBA Begins by Tinneh: 11:16pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
steady986:�� the guy no good?? I think I watched him play in one Olympic like that he looked very good to me Sha who I'm I to argue |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:51am On Oct 12, 2020 |
This Duncan Robinson kid man. Caruso needs to be absolutely glued to him. Can't allow him to go off again. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:52am On Oct 12, 2020 |
These refs have fvcking started again. SMH |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:00am On Oct 12, 2020 |
One thing has been clear throughout these playoffs. The Lakers need some proper shooters in this off season. They got away with it this year they won't get away with it next year. The 3 point shooting this disparity in this series is just awful. Every game you think to yourself they cant shoot this badly throughout the game but somehow they do. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:03am On Oct 12, 2020 |
If Jimmy Butler can be making 3s guys like Green and Kuzma have no friggin excuse. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:12am On Oct 12, 2020 |
Kuzma is a Miami Heat player, it all makes sense now. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:15am On Oct 12, 2020 |
The Lakers were 1/8 from deep in the first quarter and led by 8. All due to great defense. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:21am On Oct 12, 2020 |
Rondo was one of the players I felt really needed to play better this game. So far he's been magnificent. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:28am On Oct 12, 2020 |
Jae Crowders sole mission this series has been to hard foul LeBron wherever he sees him.

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 1:29am On Oct 12, 2020 |
Tinneh:Yea, he's a legend in the national colours. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 1:32am On Oct 12, 2020 |
Rondo for finals MVP. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:34am On Oct 12, 2020 |
I swear every time the Lakers try to gain some proper separation the refs step in with some BS calls out of nowhere. SMH |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:39am On Oct 12, 2020 |
Seriously, fvck these refs man. Fvck these refs. |
Re: The NBA Begins by FBS: 1:39am On Oct 12, 2020 |
Rondo totally switched on for this game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by olabode89(m): 1:42am On Oct 12, 2020 |
It's a rap people... ring no 4 for LeBron. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 1:42am On Oct 12, 2020 |
The Heat bench looks dejected |
Re: The NBA Begins by FBS: 1:43am On Oct 12, 2020 |
A very angry pass from James. hahahaha. Caruso nails it. Lakers blowing the Heat away. lol |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:48am On Oct 12, 2020 |
AD and Caruso have been monstrous on the defensive end. The Lakers are locked in, this series was never supposed to be this close. |

The best thing haters on this thread could have done during this series was shut up and accept that LeBron was going to win his 4th ring. But no, they decided to run their mouths. Even when the Lakers were a game from winning the championship, they still trolled...the audacity. They thought LeBron was going to blow a 3-1 lead? Like seriously? 2 Likes |
