The Nuggets are getting into playoff mode

@A40 e don zeh oh! Our boy Usman lost by decision. I thought Edwards defense and refusal to allow this fight hit the mat was convincing enough

My fears for Usman weren't unfounded. This is what makes that last seconds loss hurt even more

Tyus Jones is arguably the best backup PG in the league. No wonder they don't tend to miss Jarule at all.

His efficiency is dizzying. 12 assists and not a single turnover

Here we go about to choke a 19 points lead

So we called a timeout and the play is to just have Tatum walk up and jack up a 3 ball? Na.. This team dey vex me

Please call the last play for Brown, Tatum is in his own head

Another horrible last possession call. Why are we calling a play for Williams to drive to the bucket? I don't get it! For him to attack the rim or for him to kick out for a 3? Since when did Williams become a ball handler? There is nothing anyone can tell me, Mazulla is not the guy for me..

So Ceitics no fit just beat Jazz for us. Just this small favour

Its always been that way, and its not going to change. Best to deal with it

Hahahaha. I just dey laugh

You guys are now 3rd seed. I really thought the Jazz were tanking. I absolutely pity people that still carry basketball moneyline. No way you're not approaching bankruptcy now

Warriors are now 7-29 on the road. Goodness!

Btw what is up with Wiggins? Did someone die? Is someone dying?

I understand privacy and not trying to be a dvxk but I'm a believer that absolutely nothing is new under the sun. Whatever happened has happened to someone before. Sores are better exposed than hidden but that's just me

Roland17:
Every year, there are great college basketball players who will not make it into the NBA because of their style. Some of those players this season are D. Timmie (Gonzaga), J. Jaques (UCLA) and Z. Edey (Purdue).

What you mean explain boss ?

Roland17:


Rumor has it that Andrew's longtime girlfriend cheated on him with his bestfriend, got pregnant, had the baby and all along Andrew thought the daughter (some say both kids are not his) was his.

This is cruel if true! I don't know how he gets over this one.

I think Jalen wants out of the Celtics. Irishtown not treating the brother right. Sad that with all that money, you still have issues getting housing

Racism has been an issue in bean town, I can’t deny it. However, I don’t think it translates into JB wanting out, at least not right now.

Being a great college basketball players like the ones I listed doesn’t necessarily translate into being lottery picks or sought after talents in the NBA. They will probably get drafted but will barely play good minutes before they are out of the league and in Europe.

They did pick a curious time to do this interview, but he appears to be more activist than the average nba player. He doesnt even sound angry, just resigned to the facts lol

JB is renowned around the sports world for his social justice fight. He is an extremely intelligent, eloquent and a well read gentleman who has given great speeches in universities across the country including Harvard. He has a future in politics if he chooses after his NBA career. This is why I said it doesn’t necessarily mean he wants out of Boston because this isn’t the first time JB has been open about racism and Boston.

It’s the D. Timmie show..

I love watching D. Timmie, one of my favorite college basketball ball players!!!! Man just enjoys playing basketball.

I love the fact Few and the Zags are flying under the radar for the first time. Hopefully this will help them this time.

T least, thank God say him no marry am

She for divorce quick con cash out

Despite her being the cheater

Portland is already talking of shutting down Dame even though the dude wants to play, so that they can tank for a better draft pick.
Very soon someone will do another stupid load management article and will include those missed games, when computing whatever statistics they are trying to push the narrative for.

too many excuses mehn, dame himself is not serious. The brother is down low lazy. Even if he wants to stay on portland, I have never seen him put pressure on the front office to win. He just wants to ball and get paid. Like Beal. and thats ok. But stop trying to make the go getters look bad, like you staying in one place cuz you loyal and old school.

Agree with a lot of what you said, but this situations are like the classical 9ja song about a father, his son and their donkey, whichever way a person goes people will talk.
IMHO, everybody should act in a way that gives them peace of mind. make decisions you can live with and let the chips fall as they may.

PS: Putting pressure doesn't always work, some owners just don't know how to hire the right basketball people to make the right decisions at the right time.

A lot of positive adjustments in this game against Kings. We are playing inside out, taking the ball to the rack and actually moving our feet.

There's nothing wrong with what Dame is doing as far as sticking to the Blazers, is it his fault his GM is not doing his job or a free agent not coming to Portland?

What's the point of a 30 team league if the best players are just going to congregate in 6 or 7 teams

Paul George with a nasty looking injury. Just maybe the Clippers are cursed

Luguentz Dort. Put the clamps on Kawhi. This OKC looks like an interesting wacky team

From the day they blew out the Celtics without SGA and then ruined Lebron's scoring night. I knew something was up with this team

They're now 7th and within striking chance of 6th. Do they tank or go for it?

I am with birdman on this one. Lillard is afraid of the pressure that comes with winning.
A good example of a player that is serious was Giannis. With one year left in his contract, he supported his team but made it openly clear that they needed to improve the rooster. What happened next ? Jrue holiday and gbam one title.

You don't have to request for a trade but you have to apply the right amount of pressure. Lillard gives the vibes of a player who just want to stat pad, make millions without the pressure that comes with it while hiding under the loyalty banner.

Sometimes let your contract run down small and put fear into the front office.
Lillard jumps at every opportunity for long extensions upon extensions take the maximum amount with consideration of how it affects the ability of the team to put players around him.

Lonzo Ball’s career is over in my opinion. He should just hang his shoes for his own health and life retirement. I am feel bad for the man.
