And it took LeBron losing in the conference finals at 38 for you to confirm that? Nice smiley
That is for you Lebron Fans. I have never been Team Lebron. I have always been MJ-Iverson-Kobe-Steph-Giannis. The Giannis part is sentimental as per Naija boy. Thank You.

Saw a video on Twitter how Phoenix Mercury head coach Vanessa Nygaard was angry LA Sparks didn’t sellout the arena for Brittney Griner's first game since returning from prison. Then I looked through the comments and someone posted this link grin

Those fouls were correct calls though. The last one was comical from Jokic, he turned offensive rebound into kungfu practice
Jokic can be a lazy defender no doubt but his first 2 fouls were just nonsense.

There are more women than men in America. If they like let them keep shaming men and not follow their sport. You can't propaganda your way into viewership

They will yab men for being obsessed and invested sports fans but wonder why Steph Curry makes $50m while Griner makes $200k. They will soon blatantly start asking NBA players for money (Lisa Leslie has already done this)
Re: The NBA Begins by KNIGHTBlaed(m): 6:06am On May 21, 2023
And outside of NBA.. Just like that, they robbed Lomachenko sha. Haney is such a dirty fighter, Loma won the fight or at least a draw. Something needs to be done about judges in Boxing, they are killing the sport.

At some point in this game the refs had given the Lakers 27 FTs compared to the Nuggets 10. They had tried to do to them what they had done to the warriors in the SFs. #Shameless

The difference between you and the Nuggets is we didn't hear them bitching about the FT disparity. They just went about their business and won their games despite. That's how you know a team that's actually good.

This is something I have always liked Jokic for. They have suffered some very dissapointing seasons. But the dude just comes back the next year playing again. Very interesting to find a player so professional, and still doesnt take the game too personally. Really odd

By the way, the future ain't looking sharp for American Basketball. The top tier players in the near future are all gonna be foreigners....
Jokic, Giannis, Luka, Embiid.
And with the coming of Wembayama....

Only GS and their fans are saying the Lakers are fraudulently awarded FTs. Denver just sees it as part of the game and forges ahead grin

Because Denver are soooo much better than the Lakers that they can win regardless...... The constant whistle doesn't affect their flow.
That's why Denver is a number 1 seed and you guys are the 7th seed.
But the excessive whistles disrupts the warriors and stops them from finding Rhythm. Considering that the teams are almost on the same level, the FTs gives an unfair advantage to the recipient Team. That's why they are the 6th and 7th seed respectively....
But for FTs, all the games vs the Nuggets, would be blowouts....

If you don't foul, the refs won't blow. It's as simple as that smiley

Like most of you rightly guessed, Friday was filled with pain, tears and wailing! I just use Saturday pursue other endeavors to distract myself from the disappointment of Friday.

Right now, I don comot mind from this series. My position about the Meerkat has even intensitied, if anything and I am glad everyone else is catching up.

That Friday loss pain me reach bone, I no go lie. As for today, I don comot mind.

They know how good they are. GSW was never that good this season and we all knew it. Forget that I must ride for my team I was not expecting us to beat the Nuggets or any team from the East if we even made it past the WCF.

The future is fine, you are talking about a talent pool of 7 billion people against 350 million people. What we are seeing is the actualization of the vision that David Stern had, which started with him sending the 92 dream team to the Olympics. Other usa sports followed also copied it, the best player in baseball is currently Japanese.
David Stern just decided to open up his league to 8 billion people rather than restrict it to 350 million people.

What's funny here is the Celtics live and die by the 3 and now they've run into a team that can't miss

Basketball is such a funny game cos I saw this Heat team in the regular season and they had one of the worst and agricultural offenses. How they transformed these playoffs is incredible

They havent played any balanced team yet. They caught the bucks at the right time, Knicks were pretenders, and Celtics have been iffy all season. Any of the top 6 seeds out West would have flogged them.

I wouldn't go that far. What I can say I've noticed is the shot making is incredible. Look at Gabe Vincent again today looking like Steph Curry/Jamal Murray. Butler barely broke a sweat

That Game 4 and 5 of the Bucks series was some of the most unreal shotmaking I ever saw. If you're going to beat this Heat team you're going to outshoot them or hope their numbers come down to earth. I thought their shooting was unsustainable in the Bucks series and it did come down to earth vs the Knicks, unfortunately the Knicks were too poor of a shooting team to capitalize. They shot 25%

Now it's back up again and the Celtics have no answer
