You go think say jokic get 10 points, Check stats and na 25. I no understand |
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:42am On Jun 02, 2023 |
When did jokic score 27? |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:43am On Jun 02, 2023 |
donlittle25:This 3pt spamming I dey always talk it has really ruined the game. What happens is players have no other way to score and are essentially useless on the court. I mean even Shawn Marion had the ugliest jumpshot in league history but had other moves to score. All these guys do is spam 3s finish They have pretty much wasted Bam's only good offensive game of the series |
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:46am On Jun 02, 2023 |
A40:My guy had almost 20000 points on that ugly jumpshot. That shot be like when you they use Omo rogun turn Amala . Scoring in the paint and all that. Idk man, Shooting 10+ threes in one game and you are not the star player nor a three point specialist |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 3:46am On Jun 02, 2023 |
donlittle25: That's why his game is hard to understand. His game just sneaks up on you and because he his so efficient, you wonder when he got the shots up to score 27pts. Today he went 8 of 12 with 27pts and a triple double to boot. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:47am On Jun 02, 2023 |
A40: donlittle25: That was end of the 3rd. He just switched to Gear 2 in the 4th. Watching the game if Jokic wanted 35 he could get it. These guys have nothing for him. He just wanted to feed others Just calmly scored 12 of Denver's 20 points in the final quarter |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:50am On Jun 02, 2023 |
donlittle25:He shot like he had a hunchback and still made it work. He had a running floater, could slash to the basket. And had a decent bag. Strus doesn't play any D so I can't call him a 3 and D guy so he has no excuse to not having a floater or layup package at least, when you're facing a team like Denver you can't have a black hole on offense. |
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:52am On Jun 02, 2023 |
A40:The efficiency is out of this word. I don't know if his natural instincts is to look for other players and get them going or them put am inside him head from young. The guy could break a lot of scoring records if he wants. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:56am On Jun 02, 2023 |
A40: They are no threat inside the paint. Bam is about the only player with a chance against this rotation. The Celtics exposed Butler’s struggle against length and size. They should get Herro back at some point, he has the ability to help them stretch the court with his 3 ball but we don’t know how well he returns after this layoff. More so, Herro’s lack of size makes it even harder for the Heat defensively and they can’t have Robinson and Herro on the court at the same time because they are both liabilities. This is just a bad matchup for the Heat. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:58am On Jun 02, 2023 |
donlittle25: He came alive in the 4th when they needed buckets. This man can score anytime he wants, he has the ability to impose himself anyway he wants offensively. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:43am On Jun 02, 2023 |
The Nuggets are about the only other team outside the Warriors that set multiple screens deep inside the paint. This is quite unusual because of the degree of difficulty as it requires the mastery of space. 1 Like |

Man the FT disparity was too much in game one. 20FTs to just 2FTs. The refs want Denver to win. How can Miami cope? 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 10:08am On Jun 02, 2023 |
steady986: There was nothing of the sort, Miami only have themselves to blame, you only get FTs if you drive to the basket, only Bam was even attempting to try to score from about 8ft in, every other person was just driving to kick out or taking a jumper or shooting the 3 ball. As for how they will cope, they will only avoid getting swept if their 3 ball starts falling at a high enough clip, they cannot beat the Nuggets with defense because they just don't have the personnel, but they might be able to outscore them if they shoot the way they shot during the Bucks series and the 1st 3 games of the Celtics series. If not at most this series goes to game 5. 3 Likes |

Khanben: Yea I was only being sarcastic |
Re: The NBA Begins by Hohenheim(m): 11:22am On Jun 02, 2023 |
They might give Ja a full year off so he can go trap with the homies |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:03pm On Jun 02, 2023 |
Nuggets committed just 8 fouls all game. Fewest in Finals history They were squeaky clean beyond belief. Even Pat Riley no fit complain |
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 5:08pm On Jun 02, 2023 |
So they asked jokic who are the players he patterned his game after and he mentioned Boris Diaw. Interesting, cause you wouldn't even think of Diaw when looking at him but if you watched Diaw play, You will see it 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 7:15pm On Jun 02, 2023 |
steady986: . I still cannot see how Miami competes in this series. I was talking about them making 3s, but just saw that Denver only shot 29% from 3,which is 10% points lower than their average. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 7:17pm On Jun 02, 2023 |
donlittle25: You can see a bit from his face up passes, and how he sees cutters from the elbow. The only thing is, the student is way better than the master |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:36pm On Jun 02, 2023 |
Nuggets committed 8 fouls or the refs blew for 8 fouls? Again, I'm just being sarcastic |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:42pm On Jun 02, 2023 |
Khanben: The series is Denver's to lose. I can see the same pattern playing out as against the Lakers. Anytime Miami tries to go on a run, Denver responds with their own run. They never let go of any type of lead |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 3:00am On Jun 03, 2023 |
The warriors won as many games as the Lakers in the WCF. |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 3:55pm On Jun 03, 2023 |
Remind me again. How many games? Android17: |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:55pm On Jun 03, 2023 |
So in essence (dreamland) the Warriors made the WCF just like the Lakers did. We'll make sure the record books have that in mind |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 5:12pm On Jun 03, 2023 |
benji93:Your guess is as good as mine |

3 of Steph Curry's 4 rings came from beating Lebron James led teams. Ownership. 4 Likes |

@A40, the Stanley Cup Final is here! Florida Panthers v Vegas Golden Knight. This match up is causing some serious uproar in the hockey community because both cities do not get snow. I think it speaks to how far the game has come. The Knights are a good story of how to run a franchise. They are a 2017 expansion team that have made 4 out of the 5 playoffs and now playing in the Finals, which is impressive. I am picking the Knights but in hockey, anything is possible.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:06am On Jun 04, 2023 |
3 rings against LeBron and yet zero FMVPs in that stretch. Is that one ownership? If there's anyone that owned LeBron it's KD. Those championships will always be knows as the KD championships. I'm sorry the history books are not kind to your man LeBron vs Steph without KD in the playoffs/play-in: 11-9 LeBron last 10 games vs Steph (playoffs & reg. season): 7-3 No KD to save lil homie 3 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:41pm On Jun 04, 2023 |
Roland17:People will find anything to bxtch about if you let them. The cup is contested towards and into the summer. The teams are filled with Canadians. What does it matter? The Knights are stacked. Would be silly to bet against them. I don't know how they're able to assemble a crack squad every season it seems. I think the privilege they were afforded to be able to pick really good players from each team has made them an Allstar team of sorts. Then they get to pick really good #1s from struggling teams guys like Eichel, Marchessault and Stone, pick up Stanley cup winners like Pietrangelo in the D-Line. It's an Allstar squad |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:12am On Jun 05, 2023 |
Nuggets with a slow start and suddenly Strus and the Heat can't miss. Let's see how they respond |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:18am On Jun 05, 2023 |
Kevin Love making an impact here. Lool Jokic. What was that pass This tempo is favoring the Heat. Nuggets have to push the tempo |
