Personally, I love the the fact that the Grizzlies and Warriors hate each other, we need more of these in the league. Can you imagine what a Warriors vs Grizzlies series would look like again? Not necessarily about the results but the intensity. I miss watching buildup to series where both teams genuinely hate each other and will go hard before during and after the game. I don’t want to watch a live fest during games, especially during the post seasons With that being said, the Grizzlies need to scratch the surface, they are not anywhere remotely close to the Warriors. The Warriors are a team I respect for what they have achieved! 1 Like |

The Pelicans have to be regretting the max contract they gave to Zion. I have no sympathy for them though because they made their bed, they need to lay on it. 1 Like |

It's welcome. A mild form of hatred rooted in competition is welcome. Padi, padi too much. As the Yoruba people dey talk Oju ogun lati n mo akoni. Make u no make noise come collect better trashing. That being said, this Warriors is a very unpredictable team. The standard deviation of their success is very large. They may just run over everybody, and they may not last. They have issues I thought they would resolve by the all-star break, alas these issues plague most of the western conference, so there's still some hope. This is a team whose players turn to spectators when Curry is in the line-up. He may cook, but personally, it doesn't impress me, he's past that level. Leave that to the Jokics, Embiids, Doncics of this world. It has to translate to wins. He has to be more focused on maximizing his prime before nature catches up. Na winner I dey back no be to dey collect stats up and down like some people. Roland17: 1 Like |

birdman: You people underrate Dray too much and it wants to make me mad. But I'll say this, without Dray, the Warriors would have only 2 championships. I would have said 0 but the KD Warriors were just too stacked to feel the absence of Dray. Dray is the engine of that team and Kerr knows it. That's why he keeps getting away with all the atrocities he's been committing. |

steady986: I have heard all kinds of talks. He knows where to give the superstars the ball... He understands the rhythm of the game... He does the little things... Etc Etc... Yet the guy man dey average 7pts, 7 rebounds as a PF on a team that has weapons that should free him u p. What you guys dont realize is you what you are describing exists in many other power forwards. And there are at least a dozen better PFs in the league now than Draymond. They just didnt have the opportunity to play with an all time great like Curry. See ehn, Curry is quiet, and sells himself short, and it makes him look less than he really is. At the same time, it makes his teammates look bigger than they really are. Was Klay really better than say Beal? Was Barnes really that good a small forward? Why then are you ascribing all this to Draymond, just for being lucky to be in the right organization with an unselfish all time great? 2 Likes |

Honlucas: They have also been getting better under the new coach. Even before the trades, they were going on streaks. I think people make too much of the trade - there was no game changer in those trades |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 5:35pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
You are such an unbelievable somebody. . It's good you don't have the power to turn back the hands of time. You also clearly have short-term memory. Because if you don't you would remember it was not too long ago we were talking about Draymond being average at best at the 2022 NBA finals. Anything to help the legacy of Lebron I guess. steady986: 1 Like |

birdman: This is the same Dray that GS fans swear that if not for his suspension in 2016, GS would have closed the deal against the Cavs in 6. There are players that their impact doesn't show in the box score and Dray is the best example of such players. Did Rodman's impact show in the box score? Rodman even averaged fewer points than Dray is averaging. Look at Vanderbilt at Lakers and tell me he's not making an impact because he's not averaging 18 and 10. Dray has one of the highest IQs in basketball. And he is by far the best defensive player on that team. Abeg if Warriors no want am make e come Lakers. We go appreciate am better. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 7:34pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
birdman: Lol. You see am? You say there was no game changer in the trade. So Vanderbilt hasn't made them better defensively? 1 Like |

steady986: All their additions are doing what those that left could not do, especially Westbrick [Skip] The best addition is DLO, followed by Vander, then, snipper Beasley.... DLO makes all pieces to come together... |

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 10:37pm On Mar 11, 2023 |
steady986: There was no superstar in that trade ala westbrook or other big name. These are role players. Including Vanderbilt. The Lakers are winning because they are playing like a team, instead of relying on 3 superstars. Even Reaves is balling. The biggest MVP on this team right now is the coach. See that was my initial problem with all these GM types, trying to get big names and build a big 4 or some nonsense like that. The league is too advanced for that. That westbrook experiment shoulda never happened, and it took them a few weeks in oct/nov/dec to start clicking. Now they fighting for playins when they should be like #3 or #4 seed. But it is what it is. Lakers have like 3 weeks to tighten rotation and get ready for play offs. 2 Likes |
