The calls has been good abeg. Stop crying

I saw an unnecessary flagrant 1 that the refs called and that's what I'm complaining about. Even Van Gundy and Mark Jackson said it wasn't a flagrant.

And you saw the cancelled dunk by AD. You also saw the foul on Bron on the drive that was missed. The commentators agreed with me on all these 3 instances. Except you're watching boxscore of course.

Reaves should not take his license to shoot for granted. He's 3 for 9. He should tone it down abeg. Don't force it.

Point guard wey him shot no fit go in and he no fit control the floor. Ah, Basketball don change. Just imagine Jason Kidd or Nash. These kids dey tire me everyday.

If Jokic starts scoring rather than passing, I think it opens up the game and puts lakers in foul trouble
He's trying his best. I think foul trouble disrupted their rhythm. KCP and MAGA Mike being in foul trouble early hardly helped.

And Murray all those bad shots he was making in Game 1 he's missing today and even missing the ones he has better looks.

They're lucky to only be down 5 with how badly they've started IMO. Some reserve or role player on the Nuggets is going to have to match Hachimura's numbers. Hachimura is really a problem. They have no answer for him

There's no real point guards or floor generals today just combo guards who just happened to be listed as PG.

Jokic needs to demand the ball from murray. Na your team.

Someone has to yell at murray to be a point guard. It has to come from the best player on the team

If Murray plays the point just decently, Denver comes out of this game with a W

See as D. Ham dey call timely timeouts, if na Mazzulla, he will just watch the Celtics fold because of course he is putting the timeouts in a savings account.

I just like how the Boston media dey press him neck.

That Bubble Murray talk has clearly gotten to his head, he thinks he's Kobe now

These guys don't have any feel for the game. So on a bad shooting night they don't think ok let me use my skills to feed other guys so they get going and I can take over late.

The game is still within reach but he needs to play better and give his team a chance

The worst part with these young guys is they will shoot you out of the game and won’t play a leak of defense. Shooting and vibes. Nothing else

Exactly, in today's NBA a floor general is only valuable if you can shoot. The fact is simple, a player with the ability to shoot and do some playmaking fits today more than a true floor general who cannot shoot remember Lonzo in LA

Nash, Cp3, even kidd in their later careers were floor general.

You don’t have to be a curry and shoot your team out of the game.

Nash and CP3 can shoot. We should not forget that Kidd could not shoot for most of his career. The older Kidd would fit now perfectly, but the young Kidd would be played out of the rotation because he could not shoot. Lonzo's stint in LA apart from the injury issues was bad because of his inability to shoot, he played point as well as any one and done player could have played it, but as soon as the other team starts sagging and forcing him to take the shot, his own game crashes.

But even the past floor generals could shoot. They just took 12 shots instead of 22. Mark Price, John Stockton, Nash, CP3,

All these guys could shoot. And were not turnover machines

Lack of skilled and dominant bigs obviously make it acute for your floor general to be able to shoot and when you look at the supposed floor generals today. You see that their bigs are usually lemmings and can't get their own buckets. Look at the Cavs, Hawks, Warriors, Memphis the list is endless

Kidd was so excellent at everything else that he didn't have to be able to be a great shooter. His efficiency was off the charts running the offense that's why he dragged ragtag Nets teams to the Finals twice in the 00s with zero all stars.

Lonzo is nothing like Jason Kidd not even close

The upside to the Nuggets early foul trouble is that now guys like MAGA Mike and KCP would be fresh for the run in.

Let's see how this ends
