benji93:While I'm still mad at this team, Bleuelf is rather harsh at Steph Curry. What else do you want from him? And yes, Klay Thompson would do a lot if he comes back close to 100%. With decent bigs and a good bench, we should be fine. |

3pt shooting this season: Kent Bazemore: 40.8% Tuscano-Anderson: 40.2% Mychal Murder: 39.7% Damion Lee: 39.7% Andrew Wiggins: 38.0% Nico Manion: 36.7% Jordan Poole: 35.1% E. Paschal: 33.3% Add to that one MVP candidate and scoring champion. One DPOY candidate and elite playmaker. Hall of fame coach. G-League indeed. Plus this team were 5th in defensive efficiency. These guys might not be household names but they can ball. So no matter how you want to paint it, this team was supposed to be in the playoffs causing havoc. Let's call it what it is: Curry choked. 2 Likes |

A40: Ok. You have proof of 16 fouls that were unfairly called right? Lets have it Lakers did not commit a foul in the fourth q until about 3 minutes left as I remember. They are very disciplined on defense and will rather you score that let you get a 3pt play. Monty is the opposite. Old school d. As in make em pay every time. In that same 4q, they were already in the penalty 6mins in 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:30pm On May 25, 2021 |
birdman: Naaa.. That is not Monty’s D style.. The purpose for the aggression was simply because the Lakers were looking to sort of punk the Suns and send a message but he was having none of it. Ironically, the Suns rank behind the Lakers in fouls per game committed.. He is aware the Lakers know he has a young and inexperienced postseason team and would want to go at them. |

Roland17: Either way, the game looked fairly called to me, even with the embellished flops. All 8 series this playoffs have been officiated pretty well imo. Even the flagrants are usually spot on. Slows the game down some though |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:49pm On May 25, 2021 |
birdman: I agree the officiating has been ok but not necessarily fair but the calls have been mostly preventative than anything because they don’t want an explosion. I think they handled a lot of the burst up relatively ok based off my first sentence. The flagrant fouls are soft as hell but again, it’s nothing new, we have been seeing these soft calls for nearly a decade now... |

Blueelf:Point 1 and 2 is waaay off bro. 1. Curry is as defensive as a player his size would be. For a player that runs all game and u still expect him to be 100 on defense is asking too much and his offensive input cancels out his defensive input. 2. 2015 warriors, that's all I'll say. Nothing is hurting that man's legacy. Only haters and stupid people would say that (sorry to say). 3. Nuff said. He needs to shoot more to make defences humble. 4. The Warriors FO are just stupid idiots making foolish decisions for the past 2 years. 5. I say No to Kawhi. I have/dont seen him play GSW kinda game. 6. The FO and Kerr has said what should be done on that. The need to get shooters and assume Klay isn't coming back. 1 Like |

The Nets in 4. Not even putting up a fight |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:19am On May 26, 2021 |
Khanben: Baba Stop it! Which kain fight you wan put up against these cats? This is just too much fire power. We are without JB and that makes it even more difficult because the Nets can switch everything on defense, we can’t like Chuck said. I hope we can get game 3. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:44am On May 26, 2021 |
This I such a tight game..but you can see Lakers using their experience to assert some control on the pace of the game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:05am On May 26, 2021 |
The Lakers using their size to control the offense of this game |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 4:15am On May 26, 2021 |
Roland17: That is their only play. Turn the whole game into half court execution sets, if they continued allowing the suns to push the tempo like in game 1, then the lakers will be in trouble |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:22am On May 26, 2021 |
If you are the Suns, you can’t afford a split.. you absolutely can’t split this home stand |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 4:35am On May 26, 2021 |
Lebron's ability to pick a pass is just incredible |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:43am On May 26, 2021 |
CP3 village people strong sha! Dem Dey always wait for am for playoffs.. That shoulder is definitely messing with his game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 4:45am On May 26, 2021 |
D booker is a problem. Imagine if they had drafted Doncic both of them in a backcourt together would have been dangerous for a long time. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 4:46am On May 26, 2021 |
Roland17: His village people strong for him case no be small |

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:58am On May 26, 2021 |
The Suns trying to raise the tempo but the Lakers have been pretty firm in keeping the pace slow. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:06am On May 26, 2021 |
The Clippers are playing at home for ffs.. Make dem blow the team up if they don’t make it past the Mavs in the first round. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:12am On May 26, 2021 |
Oh boy! 0-4 but Crowder knocks down an important 3 and 1.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:14am On May 26, 2021 |
AD causing the Suns a lot of problem.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:15am On May 26, 2021 |
How about C. Payne! Knocks down a 3 to tie the game. The Lakers look tired to me.. They have really slowed down their intensity. 1 Like |

If anything, I'm just happy for Cameron Payne. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:19am On May 26, 2021 |
The Suns have taken the lead but Gasol hits a 3 to give the Lakers a 1 point lead. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:20am On May 26, 2021 |
The Lakers are just jacking up 3s.. proof/ evidence of the fact that they are tired. They need a timeout to catch their breath because the Suns have ramped this thing up. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 5:21am On May 26, 2021 |
steady986:If they call you box score analyst now you'll pick offense. Your MCM and the likes would switch teams if they were in this position. I mean Bron had Kyrie and Wiggins. Two 1st rd pick and he bailed. You have no case. You hate Steph and the Warriors. You'll be alright. 1 Like |
