I greet you boss...

This is a serious food for thought..

Giannis or Chet?

You can't possibly bring back Chet after this display. This dude is legit scared of Wemby. Y'all could have still beaten the Spurs if Chet wasn't so terrified

The issue when you give non max players max money is that your flexibility is completely destroyed. (see Denver)

Between Williams injury and Chet Wembophobia you have to move fast. The Spurs are only going to get better

@Roland17

Who do you have for the Stanley Cup? Canes or Knights. After seeing the Knights systematically destroy the Avs that were supposed to win it all it's hard to pick against them. But the Canes have also been knocking on the door.

Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:00am On May 31

Told y'all Spurs would win the series. A bit fortunate with the injury luck though

As for OKC turns out all the dynasty talk was premature, a little injury here and there and you're cooked

The bigger problem is the disgusting performance of Chet. He was terrified. And his max kicks in next season. Oof. What do you do with that

If I were Presti I would be calling the Bucks right now

Someone might have also stepped up before Gabriel. For some reason I hate CBs taking penalties especially a decider unless it prolongs. Really feel sorry for their fans.

Madueke. Wth was the need to bring him on. He's a forward. Putting that kind of pressure on a center back when he's there is irresponsible

I can't blame Gabu, he had a spectacular Final.

That PSG keeper is cheeks. Eze and Gabi really fumbled. Keep the PK on target and you're good to go. I kept screaming just keep your penalty on target

Its good for him imo. He depends on it too much. He is too skilled to be playing that way.

The game 7 we all waiting for is here!
Where is that cat that was claiming he preferred series sweeps? Lol

It's wild how average SGA has looked this whole series without the refs bailout package

His hack is very simple, put you in foul trouble early so he scores easy buckets on the line then you can't guard him properly the rest of the game. However when he actually doesn't have no help from the refs a 30+ game quickly turns to a low 20s

Feels like the Spurs should be up by more.

SGA struggling now that he actually has to work for his buckets and refs have decided not to call ticky tack fouls

I meant Danny Green. Danny did it with several teams, at least 3 at a top level.

Draymond is a product of the Warriors, I doubt he is this successful out of the Warriors.

I still have Caruso over Green cos he's more integral and just the glue.

If you watch this OKC team he gives them that experience and edge. Defense, offense whatever they need any given night

Look at him just banged another 3. 20 points now. Caruso is legit

Better than D. Green?

Yes. I don't know how well Draymond performs outside Golden State system

Plus after they got KD Draymond was more noise than anything else

People underrate just how little Draymond contributed to the 4th chip

OKC showing their depth oh. Champagne is the only reason this is not a blow out

Wemby and Castle have been ghost

And Caruso. My word is he the greatest role player the last 20 years or what. Lakers really shat the bed not retaining him

It will be really funny and really stupid. Front offices should know the times have changed. Superstars and superteams will win you nothing ATM. Youth, strength, talent, hunger & discipline will. OKC, Spurs and Detroit, Celtics & GSW have dropped blueprints on how to build through the draft alongside supplementary pieces. Any other experiment will fail at least for now. Teams like the Knicks have done well to build a decent roster with no outstandingly big names at the inception of building the team, no batmen, just a collection of robins and outright nobodies.

If you don't have at least two two way guards or forwards you are absolutely cooked.

There's a reason OKC are not completely crippled by Williams and Mitchell's absence. They have like 3 replacement guys that can produce at 80%

I am looking at the Lakers too. If they like let them give big money to Reaves and close Luka's title window completely

The days of ball dominant-heliocentric guards are done

You mean when he throws a fit.

Look, it was Spyda's day in court, and he lost badly on the big stage. Not his fault, but it will still stain his rep. Unfortunate, because they would have ripped up last year's scoring challenged knicks if not for injury.

The Cavs are just a mentally and physically soft team. Talented but soft.

They also have no perimeter guards that can slow down the other team.

They could have greatly used an Anunoby, Hart, Bridges type. Big above average defender wings that are not necessarily offensively challenged as well

Harden can do whatever he likes the Cavs would be insane to extend him

I will not join the Mitchell blame game. He's the only one that tried.

Allen, Mobley played soft. Wth hell is up with Mobley. Wasn't he supposed to be the next KG?

Harden? Lmaoo. The Cavs will be insane to extend him. Allow him play his final year and if he throws a hissy fit look for a trade and see if another GM will fall mugu like you and believe you can win a chip with Harden

This is actually very weird and irritating

I'm anybody but OKC atp. It will be a stain to the NBA if an SGA joins the pantheon of greats with B2B MVP and FMVPs

I wasn't sold on him from the beginning but I became more open minded to his style because he was playing to his strengths. Heavy dose of middies and little 3pt spamming but whatever he is playing now is just not basketball I'm sorry.

OKC should pack up and prepare for Game 5. Hyper extending yourself for this game and you might lose even more players only to still lose the game.

Same pattern they did with Ngannou and Fury. Rico winning will demystify the sport and scatter it's competitive structure.

The judging in this fight was a joke as well. i just saw some score cards and Rico would have been robbed one way or another.

The fact that two judges had it tied is proof that boxing is full of monkey business. Usyk was behind and they had 2FA to rob Rico either way

Correct decision.

Usyk KO'd Verhoeven with his head dangling outside the ropes a minute to that late stoppage, Verhoeven should have been counted out then and the fight stopped.

Usyk just chinned Rico Verhoeven 🤧🥊🥊#UsykRico pic.twitter.com/yN31OtE92h
— Diego (@woza_diego) May 24, 2026

When the fight resumed, Verhoeven was not throwing or defending himself, and the ref stepped in to stop further punishment.

No that's not how it works. Rico beat the count.

Secondly Rico was defending himself. Usyk hit Fury with an even more furious barrage in their fight and guess what the refs never stopped the fight. What's worse the stoppage came after the bell. There's a reason "saved by the bell" is a thing

Rico was robbed

It was the same deal with Ngannou and Fury. These boxing bodies cannot have non boxers come to make mockery of their entire competitive apparatus. It was a 2FA. Probably an overzealous ref that didn't know they were also planning to shaft Verhoeven on the cards as well

Emaprince:
I didnt watch this match...but the ref stepping in to stop the fight is normal. Would you rather the ref allow him pummel the kick boxer until he slumps.

Once you cant throw a punch back anymore, the fight is over.

I have to ask if you follow boxing at all to post this kin thing.

First off the bell had rung before he stopped the fight. That's not done anywhere

Secondly Rico was leading up till that point. Usyk would have needed a KO to win the fight
