Lively out but they get Kleber back possibly. Completely forgot about him sef

One team has Lively, Gafford, Kleber, and the foolish Nuggets GM could not get a playable big that could just give Jokic 10 Minutes rest

Nico Harrison doesn't get enough credit for turning that team around in two seasons. Only mistake was getting Grant Williams and inside half a season he quickly corrected the mistake. Swapped Finney Smith and Dinwiddie for fvckin Kyrie Irving

Got PJ Washington for second rounders

Sad day for the game and the Boston Celtics.

He'd been battling cancer for a bit

chic2pimp:


Fcukkkkk Damnnn! No way has it been that long. Almost 15 years now. Chicago sports fan through and through. Derrick Rose's number 1 fan boy . I keep forgetting He wasn't alive to see His boy become the League's youngest ever MVP

Randomness of life. We were quite young then and he was even younger. Life no balance

BlueRayDick:


The way a lot of APC supporters and apologists insulted David Hudeyin when he was calling out the Nigeria Air fraud ehn…..Now everybody eyes don clear .

At least now we know APC government siphoned billions of Naira all in the name of a national carrier that never saw the light of the day even under another APC led government .

It's like Watching Animal Farm play out in real life.

No way anybody with working brain thought Nigeria Air was a project that would see the light of day. They didn't even have the intelligence to fake it in a proper way.

The fact that Sirika is still a free man is proof Nigeria ngmi

BlueRayDick:
After the hullabaloo about Nigeria Air.....smh

Some couple of billions down the drain

That is how they will suspend their 419 Coastal road as well

Aje!

@A40 does a great job at remembering him every year.

Keep resting Busayo!

Still saddest shit I remember man. Was mates with his older brother so in a way na like younger brother.

Been what almost 14 years. Damn

R.I.P Bill Walton the O.G hippie

Powell is not a playoff rotation player.at all. He his one of those players who you give a roster spot because of the 82 game regular season schedule. Giving him playoffs minutes especially since his
Achilles injury is just a disaster waiting to happen

He's one of those guys that makes you downplay the difficulty level of being in the NBA. Obviously I know better but still I look at guys like Matthias Lessort for Euroleague and I'm like surely that guy can do better than Powell.

Injury to Lively left them no choice. I hope Lively would somehow be able to make it for Game 4. With Boston likely sweeping the Pacers Mavs really need to match them sweep for sweep.

Finals start on the 6th no matter what. So a 9 day rest would work wonders for them

larride:


Nuggets were missing easy layups and simple shots. If MPJ just play as half as the lakers series, Wolves will be watching the wcf at home.

I told anyone who cared to listen. They were just missing wide open shots. Nothing to do with their defense.

Now they've run into better shot makers and are facing sweep

Towns 0/7 from 3

BlueMann:
Credit to Gafford, he's been huge on defense. Another huge play there

And Gafford throws down a monster dunk! And 1!!!

Turned the corner for sure.

That block on KAT electrified him

Nuggets with their bullshit made this Timberwolves team look better than they really were.

Thunder will fire that their stupid GM. All Jokic needed was a decent big to reduce the workload

When you have Kyrie and Luka in the 4th. Ohh the luxury

Kyrie has turned to Ben Wallace at the free throw line. Crazy stuff

These free throw misses gonna bite the Mavs

Lively injury might be the turning point of this game

Powell is a terrible finisher at the rim and even more useless on defense.

Now Minny has crawled their way back

BlueMann:
Gafford not smart at all. Very unnecessary foul right at the end which gives the Wolves the chance to reduce the lead, and increases his own foul count, which is even more detrimental with Lively out.

There's a clear difference between Lively and him.

I don dey hype the guy previously. Omo e no sabi anything.

The difference too clear between him and Lively

This Timberwolves team dey play rugby. Mavericks better make this series as short as possible. You don't want a long slugfest with these raggamuffins

Why was McDermott running to the opposite side? He wouldn't even have enough time to catch and shoot

What was the plan if any? Nesmith is the worst 3pt shooter on the court. This was just Pacers playing to lose

Game over

Pacers rubbish defense will ultimately be their downfall. They're going to blow this aren't they?

Pacers offense when it's clicking is a thing of beauty tbh

Nembhardt. Wowzers

Celtics walking them down

Khanben:


That guys play is somehow weird. He is unbelievably athletic one minute, and the next minute, he looks like the stereotype of uncoordinated tall people

All he has is his athleticism. No ball IQ or feel for the game

This thing Pacers is playing is definitely not basketball

Why's Obi Toppin so damn clumsy? Did he smoke cannabis before entering the court

larride:


I have no hope on this Pacers, they always introduce me to a lifestyle they cant maintain.

Them go still lose this game.

Pacers game to lose. All they have to do is keep attacking the paint. Celtics have no one that can deter them. Leave 3pt spamming for Celtics

This Pacers no dey serious. Just allowed 8-0 run inside 45 seconds

McConnell is destroying these boys. They're not missing Halibooty at all

This must make the Game 1 debacle even more infuriating.

Celtics are so ordinary when the 3pt spamming is not working it's not even funny

Khanben:


Remember the Charles Barkley triple single jokes about Draymond that season Steph got hot .

Hahaha. He's literally the inventor.

The most accurate analogy is the boy band one. It would be like the least talented member the group being the most vocal

Khanben:


Draymond consistently gets cooked if he his put on an island with guards and he his barely 6ft9.

Gobert is the first center I've seen get criticized for not locking up a guard in an iso possession. Miracle no dey tire Jesus

Draymond is a non factor outside of Golden State. There's a reason he feigns injury when Steph can't play. That one is just carrying their on court beef to analysis.

If he thinks people will care about his nonsense after Golden state he's sadly mistaken. He will only make shock value comments to draw attention cos nobody really wants to hear him talk about anything on a neutral level

etidy:


I am shocked, I didn't know that multiple MVP or DPOY award winners face more scrutiny than usual.
I am shocked that they get more criticism and scrutiny.
I am shocked that those awards however stupid the voters maybe brings more added attention.

There's sensible and senseless scrutiny.

Coming from fans is even understandable but coming from a player like Draymond is just dumb for two reasons. He knows better and 2) he can do something about it.

Criticizing Rudy cos he got crossed on by a guard is senseless scrutiny. Where was Antman? Baby Jordan? Where's McDaniels.

To show how senseless the scrutiny is people are not even looking at Gafford and Lively scoring 80% combined from the field. It's that one play that literally nobody probably in league history stops
