If only the Blazers can play defense! Picking up ridiculous amounts of fouls and fouling out is an evidence of bad team defense. 1 Like 1 Share |

3 consecutive empty possessions for the Blazers and now Nurkic has 5 fouls.. This is not looking good. It is bad when you constantly have to hope Dame comes to bail the team. He has not played well in the 4th anyways.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 3:34am On Jun 04, 2021 |
Well, you cannot always be clutch. Dame should have saved all his clutch shots for today, honestly. . The Nuggets applied the double team today. His teammates played ok today, but well, the previous game probably took everything out of him. Of course today is not the day for Mr Cutch. |

Another underwhelming season for the Blazers.. Is it time to blow this thing up? Should Lillard look somewhere else? Is this a coaching issue with T Scotts? Is it time to move on from him? For such a talented roster, they have disappointed.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:36am On Jun 04, 2021 |
Live by the 3, die by the 3. Those logo 3s aint falling tonight. This friends, is why Lillard keeps coming up short. Lillards game has never changed |

Jokic is just a different beast my goodness. What a comeback That Portland team needs to be split. CJ and Dame together are simply not going to take you there 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 3:37am On Jun 04, 2021 |
Say the name: Nikola Jokic. That is the name. |

benji93: Not everyone under 6'6" can play against double teams. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:40am On Jun 04, 2021 |
Big credit to the Nuggets especially Jokic. This man is fundamentally grounded in the game.. When you watch his footwork, his passing and movement without the ball on offense , you absolutely have to be amazed. They look like they want to get back to the conference finals.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:41am On Jun 04, 2021 |
Worst thing that can happen to a healthy player is to have everyone love you. No criticism, no growth. I hooe lillard takes a lot of heat for this loss |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:41am On Jun 04, 2021 |
A40: I love watching players that well grounded in the fundamentals. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 3:44am On Jun 04, 2021 |
birdman: Nah. He will take his money and his "underrated" tag. |

@Android17 You remember this conversation?

Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 3:49am On Jun 04, 2021 |
Nobody will mention him.How can you do that without mentioning that he was terrible today?Anyway, we are still basking in the glory of the Clutch King. . The focus now is Jokic is the MVP and he was the best player in this series. . Lillard is not to blame, he came up against the MVP. . How can his Eminence do any wrong? birdman: |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:51am On Jun 04, 2021 |
The Suns have to end this series tonight.. anything short of that may be a disaster. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 3:53am On Jun 04, 2021 |
AD clearly is immobile. Why start him? Why not plan without him? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 3:54am On Jun 04, 2021 |
Roland17: I do. They want KD vs Raptors 2.0. AD can clearly not move. He is static and just passing the ball. Did they start him for spacing? Ayton will eat him for lunch in this game based on what I have observed. 1 Like |

Android17: AD reading twitter and espn and deciding to play against everyones advice. Someone tell him to calm down and rest. If you lose in the first round, so be it. Anyone can say what they want, but they dont have a ring. End of story 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:03am On Jun 04, 2021 |
Immensely stupid of the Lakers to play AD. This is a real clown show. I don't see how they get back in this game because it's clear they don't even believe they can win without AD 1 Like |

Sad to call it but omo Lakers set going home, dem dey house already too.... For some weird reason I see Either Steph or Lillard joining the Lakers Next season. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:21am On Jun 04, 2021 |
The truth of the matter is this. In this era of ring chasing, neither LeBum nor AD can afford to just tank a post season because of injuries. LeBum will be 37 by next season, 38 next year, he will be slower and less impactful, Father Time has caught up big time. He is not shooting more 3’s because he is hurt ( not saying he is not) but at 36, he is one injury from ending his career driving to the bucket, he knows this and that is why we are seeing more 3’s and facilitation, I think I said this weeks ago. We will see more of this style next season. The era of bullying your way to the bucket is nearly over.. Your mind/ head/ media/ fans tell you that you can still do it but your body tell you differently. AD can’t stay healthy especially his lower body from his waist down and that has everything to do with his size.. We have seen it in baseball, football and other contact sports. So that means every season is a window to get that ring because there are no assurances. The window of LeBum/ AD may close faster than they imagined. They would have to protect AD better than they did this past season and then find another offensive star player to add. The West is not going to get easier next season. Infact the main actors are either approaching their prime or are in their prime. The Suns/ Jazz/ Nuggets are young team and are not going anywhere next season. It’s the reality of the game. At the end of the day, this Lakers can’t win jack without AD. He is the most important player on both ends of the court even the opponents know this. |
