Dem don come again ooo with their underdog narrative. Lebron is Old. If i didn't know better I would think he's 10 years older than Curry. If you are old retire. 2 Likes |

Even as a GSW, I am dismayed at how Damontas Sabonis (rebounds champ) gets out-rebounded by an undersized centre in Kevon Looney Like how? I feel this contributed hugely to their playoff loss 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 12:17am On May 01, 2023 |
Tinneh: I think Looney folds AD I am not saying this because I am a GSW fan but getting almost 20 rebounds a game in the playoffs when the regular season rebounds leader is your opponent is not a small feat Plus AD is glass |

Stop this nonsense. It's a given that any team that loses has to have done something. They can try again next year. I hope their uptrend continues. darkelf: 1 Like |

Stop it. Keep yourself together. No be today I dey use am. Why you come dey craze like this? . Everybody knows that's never offensive coming from me. What nonsense. My argument/counterargument was very simple. A team has to be worse to lose. What did you expect that Looney would spectate? darkelf: |

'Stop this Nonsense' is what you want to hold against me? Are you kidding me? Mr custodian of Morality. This will be the last time I use it for you though, i apologize, it seems to hit you well. What nonsense. I am not sure which is more insulting though, that I tell you to stop telling us something that's not useful such as "Ah , they lost this series because Sabonis was terrible, especially in rebounding", well a team has to be better to win a series, coulda woulda is nonsense. If you point to Sabonis a golden state faithful can also say that if out bench was even a little better we would have ended them in 6 games, or if Poole wasn't terrible, SAC fans would also say oh, if Fox didn't get hurt, we could have won, then others could counter with he is shooting close to his season average and we definitely shouldn't be too forward to expect too much from him as it's his first postseason, then counter-counter, he was far from being efficient, and so on and so forth. Which is more insulting though, that i tell you, "oh, stop this nonsense" or you calling some men weak? Make una help me. You try to correct me but end up using a worse language. Very interesting somebody. But don't worry i won't use that to address you again. darkelf: |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 10:47am On May 01, 2023 |
Fair point. Even though I want to, I cannot argue with this. . But stop running away, the discussion was on whether Lebron was Old or not. Don't bring that nonsense here. Some folks like @Birdman even dey round am up to 40, to make him even look older. That's unacceptable. steady986: |

benji93: But is 38 not old enough for you people? You people still scrutinize my guy at 38 the same way you scrutinized him at 28. Yes the series is LeBron vs Steph based on name and history between the two, but if you expect LeBron to be trading buckets with Steph in this series then you're in for a disappointment AD is the man now |

It was blood bath in the NHL last night. One of the reasons I love the NHL is that home ice means absolutely nothing! The Bruins and Avalanche go home on home ice, in game 7. 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:05pm On May 01, 2023 |
Lol. Una don start this bookmaker nonsense again. How many times do we tell you that Vegas sets these odds so gullible marks like you can l'arimo Some of us actually saw both teams face off during the season and we know the bookies are as fugazi as they come. The size advantage of the Lakers will be crucial here. Unless Steph can replicate that Game 7 4x in this series I don't see a realistic path to victory for the Warriors. The Lakers are so deep now that Lebron can be the second or 3rd best player and the Lakers still win these games. I don't mind being wrong but I'm just a realist. Lakers in 6 3 Likes |

A40: I agree Davis, LeBron and hachimura will eat. The Lakers are also a better defensive team than sacremento. The only thing is Davis has to be dominant, he can't have those off and on performances. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:26pm On May 01, 2023 |
etidy:Normally the Warriors are customer daada for Lebron because they have no one in the perimeter or paint that can give him any problems. Of course this is true for most teams but especially the Warriors. Let's see if Andrew Wiggins will make any difference in that department Their regular season matchups I think the Lakers won 3-1. The only game Golden State won was opening night. The common denominator in these games for the most part was how the Lakers always killed them in the paint. I will reiterate again that I want the Warriors to win and I'm open to being pleasantly surprised but I just don't think they Match up well with the Lakers. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 5:38pm On May 01, 2023 |
A40: I do not think this is all. The regular season is hardly a good metric for judging the warriors. The warriors are a Jump shooting Team and play fast moving Basketball. James and AD would have a hard time chasing them around the court, this isnt the grizzlies so stifling them in the paint may not be sufficient. I don't know if LeBron has that much gas. He is slower now. The reason Sacramento gave the warriors such a hard time is because they are young and were ready to run the entire 48 minutes, if necessary. Warriors have too much perimeter shooting. They don't even have anyone that can guard curry. Green and Wiggins can take turns with Bron. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:43pm On May 01, 2023 |
Skrrrrrrr:Me I'm hoping you're right and this is the case. However with guys like Russell, AD, Hachimura and Reaves what is abundantly clear is that the Lakers are still capable of winning even with a C game from Bron. Also this perimeter scoring you're talking about from the Warriors, Steph remains your only reliable scorer. Klay and Poole are hit and miss. On nights the shots are not falling who on the Warriors is capable of banging in the paint |
