Again. No need to panic....
The plan is to win one away game and head back to Sanfrancisco with home court.
On to game 4...

Dude, you have been saying the warriors would lose every game since the sacramento series.
I don't know whether your saying it, reassures you.
But you need to rest...

I'm a GSW fan and I remember telling them to be humble and that we aren't out of the woods yet

Firstly, we don't have a good team this year. We don't have size and we suck on the road

Hopefully now, we can start prepping for next season as I know the Lakers will win in 5 or 6

Then hopefully next year, we can trade for some actual bigs and not depend on inconsistent shooters and little guys to outrun and outshoot opponents

The dynasty may just be over. We tried at least. 4 rings no be beans
Calm down baba. It's just one game. The series is far from over.

Do you think if GSW had bigs instead of its shooting backcourt , it would win every series in 4 games?

Part of playoff ball is to lose some and win some. If they are sweeped or lose in 5, you can start talking like this.

If AD was Nigerian I will say he has gone to one baba and made a deal to only play great on odd numbered games, the performance gap between odd and even numbered games is just too much

Lolll, how is it just one game? We've lost twice in embarrassing fashion to the same Lakers in this playoffs.

It was inexperience of Sacramento kings that helped us win, else, we could've gotten knocked out

Let me ask you a question, do you really think you're winning a game seven vs Lebron ?

GSW has a problem. Part of it is giving Poole that contract. He didn't deserve it. He should be traded for an actual big that can shoot. There are quite a number of them in the league. I'll take Buddy hield over Poole any time

I learnt something Na few people Dy talk truth here..

I respect you for saying the truth..


My brother, been a fan doesn't make me blind to the truth.

You'll see GSW games where GP2 dey guard someone tall like KD, like who ever thought that was a good idea? Which kain tactic be that? You'll now see them starting JaMychal over kuminga who had been actually consistent in the games running up to the close of the regular season.

Bros, Jordan Poole scammed the organization and I hope they learn from this and not be quick to give max contracts to rookies in the future. Nothing wey person wan tell me. How can you shoot consistently poor over a stretch of 9 playoff games in a row...haba? Klay not the same and it was apparent last year but sentiments no allow Kerr see truth.

We need at least 2-3 3&grin bigs wey dey at least 6'7. Enough of these short guys abeg. You go see starting rotation where the tallest na Draymond at 6'6 and even that his height sef dey debatable. Haba?

Okay, say by some chance we manage to edge out the Lakers (which is highly unlikely). How do we perform against either Kd(Suns) or Jokic(Nuggets). I guess they'll ask GPII to guard them...lollll

Warriors organization never serious

Na all these nonsense make some actually good coaches even loose their Jobs...

Tomorrow now, you go hear warriors go trade for another 6'3 guard.

Nonsense!!!!!!!!

Nothing wey anybody wan tell me. Size will always matter in the NBA in any era........I take size over short inconsistent shooters anytime any day.

With size, when your shorts aren't going in, it's easier to drive to the basket and not get your layups or dunks blocked because you get size....I mean this is simple logic na

That's why the Lakers are getting more points in the paints and more free throws...nothing wey ref do. The refs aren't at fault at all. It's La Lakers that are smartly attacking GSW in the paint and getting fouls because Lakers actually have SiZE!!!

Simple!!!!

Abeg, na to look forward to next season remain

Bro I tell you

Lakers go sweep GSW and e go be like dream

The moment the media started picking GSW to win, I hated it because you'll piss Lebron off and he likes to proof doubters wrong

I prefer if my team is the underdog so they actually play extra hard to proof doubters wrong

Once GSw goes down 3-1. Forget am, so pe otilo

Lolll

Let me tell you something

They wouldn't struggle so much

Let GSW get some actual bigs that can shoot decently and you'll see the difference

Bigs that can shoot don't actually jack up unnecessary shots. But when they shoot, they usually are efficient unlike little guys that shoot so much because they over rely on that as their offensive weapon

A 3&grin big is better than a guard anytime anyday
Re: The NBA Begins by Blueelf: 6:56pm On May 07, 2023
I'll take Seth Curry over that fraud Jordan Poole anytime any day

We don't need another all star guard or big. Just a reliable one that knows his role and plays to instructions

I personally think these media people just write and report news. They don't watch these games and actually see the strength and weaknesses of respective teams. It's all one big bandwagon

I would be shocked if the Warriors don't win Game 4 but I still think they ultimately lose the series because on any given night the Lakers simply have more ways to win. I daresay the Kings would have won if Sabonis wasn't such a regular season fraud that couldn't dominate his matchup in the playoffs

Good First quarter from the 76ers. The series may be closer than we anticipated.

Let see if the greens have an answer to that.

Exactly why I always get mad at Mazzulla!!!

Why are we not calling a timeout for the final play?

I mean, this thing isn’t hard. 15 seconds to go, game tied with final possession away from home and this man refuses to call a timeout for the final play!

Are we taking the timeout back to Boston?

I swear I can’t!

I thought some GSW fans wanted to trade Klay and elevate Poole to the 2nd option.
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 11:54pm On May 07, 2023
None of these remaining 4 playoffs series is a sure banker for anybody. On any night any team can go off and win one on their home court, and steal one on the road.

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:16am On May 08, 2023
Williams finally going to his bench has made a huge difference in this series.

If I'm the Suns I have to find a way to offload Ayton. It's Barbecue chicken for Jokic out there
