birdman:The way he is moving right now might get him killed either way. He got a slap on the wrist for the first time and not even 2 months later he is doing the same dumb shit, plus his other offenses. Billion dollar leagues have images to protect and if Ja is determined to make himself a cautionary tale so be it. He misses a 3rd of a season on average anyway so half season gives him more spare time. If you don't suspend him an entire season then don't suspend him at all. Any punishment that cannot serve as a deterrent is no punishment at all 2 Likes 1 Share |

A40: Unfortunately I cannot disagree with your logic. The league has a billion dollars to protect. If Ja wants to be a fool, so be it 1 Like |

birdman: Strict monitoring because he is a teenager or what? Baba, the Grizzlies with a good lawyer don’t have to dig too far to cancel that contract. Actions that are detrimental to the organization is an easy one that can terminate that contract amongst others. 3 Likes |

A40: He desperately wanted to separate himself from Ime’s shadow and style until he realized the Boston media have no joy and will come for you! This team is already setup to win, he just needs to do the simple things and stop getting in the way! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Roland17:Lol. Stupid. He strikes me as someone with an ego. Udoka gave him the easiest job in basketball and he wanted to blow it with oversabi. He should thank his stars he ran into the Holy trinity of generational chokers. Rivers-Harden-Embiid 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:11am On May 15, 2023 |
greypencils:I don't even know if it's just Doc Rivers alone. When a player's choking is predictable than death you begin to wonder what else can be done. I don't believe even Phil Jackson can win a ring with Joel Embiid and James Harden. Some players if it didn't dey it didn't dey You knew Embiid would underperform. Last season he was 7/24 in their elimination game. This season the Fugazi MVP shot 5/18 from the field. What self respecting big shoots less than 25% from the field facing elimination. Fraud proving again he can't do nothing without free throws James Harden aka Brick Ross has been in the league 14 years yet you knew, you just knew! you could literally bet your mortgage he would shoot 3/11 with the season on the line. How can a future HOFer score 9 pts in an elimination game. This joker got outscored by PJ Tucker The last 3 games do you know Brick Ross did not score a single point in the 4th quarter? There's no coaching that can legislate for such ineptitude if we're being honest. |
Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 11:32am On May 15, 2023 |
A40:True but who do you fault? The players for playing trash? The coach for blowing another 3:1 lead or the management for selling Jimmy Butler? Personally, I blame the management. The 76ers team that played against Toronto in the ECSF was setup to win. What separated them from a title I believe was Kawhi's shot at the buzzer. They never should have let him go. He was the engine on that team NOT Embiid but the management was too blind to see it. |

I just remembered something, in the bubble season the Lakers where the number 1 seed right. That means they were robbed of the home court advantage to win that title 3 Likes |

The funny thing is that people are saying that steph needed KD to beat Lebron. And ignoring the fact that Lebron needed Kyrie and AD to beat steph.... Like why aren't we seeing the irony? 1 Like |

Roland17: Tuueh, bad market Will he be able to play with Jaylen Brown, who we plan on stealing from you guys should you not win a ring this year |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 10:53pm On May 15, 2023 |
Skrrrrrrr: Kyrie? What has he achieved without Lebron. KD has been a 4 time scoring champion, MVP with Steph. Kyrie has never been top 5 in MVP voting ever. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 3:05am On May 16, 2023 |
steady986: Neither Klay nor Draymond have ever been as good as Kyrie and AD. Draymond has never been as good as Kevin love even. Intact the both of them cannot compare to westbrook (Whatever you think of him). Doubt me, check the list of the Top 75 players in NBA history, Steph has one ex teammate on that list. Lebron has 3 abi na 4sef.... 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:13am On May 16, 2023 |
greypencils:That's the problem with sports. Somebody gets too much credit when things go well and also too much blame when things go bad. The way basketball is setup. Coach work cannot Trump work of player. When your 7ft plus center cannot back down a smaller guy and turns to a jump shooter what do you do? When a future HOFer drops 9 pts in Game 7 what can you do? Coach cannot enter floor and make buckets for you nau And yes the 76ers management did fvck up letting Jimmy Butler go and keeping Tobias Harris, a Tobias Harris was just happy to be there, he's a good player but he's not a difference maker. If it didn't dey it didn't dey. Jimmy has an edge and most likely would have gotten on Embiid on his conditioning just like Kobe did for Shaq. Would have sussed Ben Simmons out early. In a team trying to win you can't be besties, you're going to piss each other off from time to time. Butler is the kind of guy that will reveal your core and as a GM let you know if what you have is good enough to compete for a title or not. He did it with Minnesota and quickly you discovered KAT and Wiggins were never going to do anything together. Likely it would have been the same thing with Philly and you get to quickly find out if you will ever win or even compete with that team or not 2 Likes 2 Shares |

SmooshCHN:He has a player option so if he picks it up what can you realistically get with an expiring Draymond contract? |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:27am On May 16, 2023 |
Khanben:Lol. Robbed how? Did they play on the road? It was neutral with no fans. Players strolling from 5 star hotel to court. Nobody was at an advantage or disadvantage so where does the argument of robbed come from? Maybe they should have just scrapped the season. Cos over the last five seasons. How many #1 seeds have won the title? 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:51am On May 16, 2023 |
Khanben:He needed Kyrie's elite contributions to beat Golden State. This is really all that counts. This thing you fans do. When Russell Westbrook and Lebron's support cast are playing nonsense with Bron you blame Russ and the support cast but when they achieve something now you say what did they achieve without Bron. As if he dey play 1 v 5 for court You guys can't have it both ways. Cos I don't recall an NBA Finals where the second best player on a team averaged 5 more points than the best player on the other team. We should be asking who else has needed a player averaging 27ppg and a player averaging 25 and 10 to win a Finals series? 1 Like |
