You didn't watch the game
No I didn't. No difference. AD didn't come to play. No AD, no championship. Enough of the Lebron hype. He is old.

That might go down as the worst contract in league history. If the Warriors are smart this offseason they will package him for any half decent big they can get.

He will never have Steph's IQ or feel for the game. He's just a guy that can get hot once every 3 games but his floor is unacceptable for a $30m+ guy. They should jump out while there's still time
Wrong advice. He just got out of G-league 2 years ago. aged 23? He will grow up.

They wouldn't be playing in the semis if not for Lebron.

You don’t want to see me, my heart dey my mouth. This was a better execution of the final 3 minutes of the 4th. This was a professional performance.

I think you guys may have taken the best punch 76ers could muster. So much for Harden using Vegas as motivation!

Lmaoo James Harden going to Vegas mid playoffs. This nigga so unserious

KD and Booker having an over my dead body game. 48 combined and it's only Halftime. Crazy
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 4:59am On May 06, 2023
Omo, the Nuggets have cut the lead to 2.
Suns have no synergy. Just Hero ball from KD and Booker. This is why KD couldn't win Jack with Westbrook.

They've given it back to the nuggets. 0-3 this morning might be a possibility thanks to Jamal and the Joker.

They look shades different from the suns that lost to Milwaukee 2 years ago. See me that was already thinking suns in 6/7 after that first half blowout

Lool Suns in 6 ke? They have no bench. Team that barely got past Kawhi and PG less Clippers.

I don't expect a sweep. KD and Book are just too good but mehn even in a home playoff game for the Suns to have no faith in their role players is crazy
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:47am On May 06, 2023
Omo. This is on par with Kyrie and Bron 41 piece in 2016.

True, their bench roster is shorthanded quality wise compared to the starting 5, Any injury to KD or booker, O Pari, I just feel the momentum might swing in their favour after this morning but it still looks like Denver's to lose now sha

Momentum.
Lol.
This is the first home game after being down by 2.
They are supposed to exert themselves.
But nah.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:44am On May 06, 2023
I was watching the 2nd quarter of the Suns game and I concluded that for the Suns to beat the Nuggets tonight and any other night in this series for that matter, both Booker and KD would have to go for 40 or something close to that. Then KD drops 39 and Book drops 47. I think that's the recipe going forward because these guys don't rely on their teammates enough to win games. Today their bench tried but Ayton only had 4 points from 6 shot attempts. They're not even making plays for him and others. It's just KD and Book playing hero ball and the rest feeding off whatever comes from it. Any night either KD or Book drops below 30, it's an automatic loss for the Suns.

Anything can happen in sports but yeah I think defensively either of these teams will struggle.

I don't know what Williams is trying to do but I want to see if he can pull it off trying to win a championship going 2 v 5

KD took 31 shots

Devin Booker shot 80% from the field. 80%!! That is nuts for a guard

You see why I was very upset with Mazzulla for losing game one because this series would have been dusted in game 4? Even with Embiid, we match up very well against them. They have absolutely no answer for J. Brown who is getting every and anything he wants driving to the bucket.

Embiid’s presence changes a lot for them on both ends but we were good at moving him which also caused him to fatigue. It wasn’t exactly a fast paced game, it was methodical with the Celtics moving the ball and moving players side to side.

I loved our defensive intensity last night, we were quite discipline even though we game up too many FT to Embiid which was expected. We limited their transition bucket and JB has been doing one hell of a job on Harden.

This wasn't too long ago grin. When it comes to the playoffs, give me Lillard over Harden.

Harden has been to the conference finals 2, losing in 5 and 7 games to the warriors. He averaged 28 points.
The only time Dame made it to the conference finals, against the same warriors, he lost in 4 games and averaged 22points. Clean sweep.
Before you mention KD, he was injured and didn't feature in that series...

The heat is taking care of business as they should. However the greens are clearly the best team in the east. Maybe even favourite to win it all.
Re: The NBA Begins by Afromentalist: 9:39pm On May 06, 2023
Steph and Klay really destroyed the league.

How can you have an open lane to a lay up, but you want to shoot logo threes. This knick teams is something else.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:35pm On May 06, 2023
It's easy to forget this Miami Heat were the #1 seed just last year and are a battle tested playoff team
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 10:52pm On May 06, 2023
I have never felt the Knicks have a great offense. They thrive in physicality, problem is, they have met a pack of dawgs led by alpha Jimmy!

They are an unusual 8th seed, however, it doesn’t excuse the Bucks losing to them.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:03am On May 07, 2023
The Knicks have a Julius Randle problem. Guys like him are why regular season basketball is almost like a different sport. Why is he always so ridiculously bad and then wants to fight when he's playing like crap.

Thibs has overachieved with this team to be honest. Immanuel Quickley, Josh Hart, Obi Toppin bless their heart but Cleveland underperforming badly is why the Knicks are here.

Can still see this stretching to 6 if the Knicks can win Game 4 though. But then I remember they barely won Game 2 while the Heat were missing Jimmy
