@A40 are you watching the expressway the Knicks are enjoying with Beasley/ Lillard. Every time Griffin hides them to the side, the Knicks wings still target them. They are putting Beasley and Lillard in screens to force a 1v1 which is easy money! Even little Brunson is feasting.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:24pm On Dec 25, 2023 |
Freaking Midget Brunson is running a P&R so he can isolate 1v1 against Dame! A40….Where you at! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:35pm On Dec 25, 2023 |
The Knicks also score 72 points inside the paint! What does that tell you? |

There is something about the Warriors team that makes it difficult for me to write them off. MPJ was hot on both ends today though. |

This team wasn’t assembled to make a run to the championship, it was assembled to win the championship! I look at how we play under the Meerkat and I don’t see it. For a team that has players with length, size and strength, one would think we should have some balanced offense and punishing opponents with drives to the paint and low post scoring but all we do is jack up 3s. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:19am On Dec 26, 2023 |
It took nearly losing this game to stop jacking up 3s and expand the offense in the 4th. #GREENRUNSDEEP |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:46am On Dec 26, 2023 |
Roland17:Buttressing the point. The team has jumped back defensively in geometric proportions Griffin has not set this team up properly defensively. They're bottom 10 on defense. Fortunately they're the best offense in the league, though their easy schedule has helped but the Bucks had a track record of being a defensive team. Whether you believe Lillard has made it worse, the coach is not helping either And if we are going to give him credit for their good offense then we must give him blame for their lack of defense |

Roland17:Na wa oh. Which team Brunson no dey cook? Didn't you see him against Lakers last season? This dude IMO is a top 5 PG in the league. Why are you making it sound like he's average 1 Like 1 Share |

Steady would come here to claim that the warriors won the 2022 championship against a group of Bums but the celtics have been walloping the Lakers since 2021. One win in 5 games..... Nonsense... 1 Like |

larride: He is having a terrific season. However, the ease with which he went at Lillard, especially during the 4th was a sorry sight. He was pretty much picking him out and isolating for a 1v1. Nice to read from you and Merry Christmas. 1 Like |

Skrrrrrrr:I don't know how and why Celtics fumbled that series. I thought the Warriors were dead and buried after Game 3 Jayson Tatum's chokejob in that Finals flew under the radar of NBA lore and I give him a pass cos he's still so young but man |

Skrrrrrrr: Why are you so pumped up over a regular season game? Did the Celtics just eliminate me from the playoffs? The Clippers too have been walloping the Lakers for the last decade. Now which team has won a championship most recently? |

Some important history for the newer NBA fans here. In 2012, the Thunder were the odds on favourites to win the NBA finals vs the Heat. Contrary to popular belief that the Heat were on another lever to the Thunder because of their "big 3". This is what LeBron haters do. They make you believe that LeBron was favourite to win every Finals series he ever played. What they do is before every series, they talk crap about LeBron's chances of winning, and then when he goes on to win they say he was meant to win it anyway. Just like in 2012, just like in 2016 against the Warriors, just like in 2020 throughout the entire playoffs. Here's a video of Skip Bayless in high praise of KD and the Thunder just before game 1 of the 2012 Finals. We know how his stance has changed over the years about that Finals. I can swear he was the one that coined the phrase "Baby Thunder" https://twitter.com/SlimSleepr/status/1740208418726789269?t=gQWb7izyW0qX9C3BiDQWqw&s=19

KD already tired of the Suns, but Curry needed him tho |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 4:31pm On Dec 28, 2023 |
I never knew Le fans could do some digging. So you get 5 points for that. Very surprised. You don't get all 10 points because you fail to realize that Vegas is not a good reference, it's a betting hub. Apart from Lebron fans, everyone else can reasonably guess that star power wins at least 70% of the time. You can have those upsets here and there, like the Pistons-Lakers series for example.

Only Lebron fans won't realize that Skip Bayless is not a person to bring up in this kind of conversation. Bad reference. Do better, my friend. Do better.

Is there anyone here who still wants to argue that wemby is not overrated? I don't see him lasting more than 13 yrs in the league |

benji93: Yea, like when the 2011 Mavericks swept my beloved Lakers in the WCSF. And like when the Heat beat Giannis and the Bucks multiple times. Like When the Heat beat the Celtics multiple times too. Like When the Nuggets beat the title favourites the Clippers in the bubble in 2020. Like When the Raptors with Kawhi as the lone superstar knocked out Embiid, Simmons and Jimmy Butler in 2019. Yea. Stars over team |

GSW is going back to the dark ages. Any hope of a resurgent dynasty is gone. It was fun while it lasted sha. Let's go back to tanking like we did in the early 2000s - 2010s. Still a fan by the way but this season is a snapshot of 6 yrs to come |

Khanben: But he still has made them better, no matter how minute it might be. On the other hand it looks like the Spurs have regressed. He got nice individual numbers though, I'll give him that, but we need to see it translate to some wins. Just some. 1 Like 1 Share |
