Jimmy Butler mehnn. I thought he would be gassed. Apparently not

Some of the shots the Heat have been making this series. If they're going to keep making these shots you might as well hand them the title

The Heat might Bleep around and close this thing. These Bucks are looking really fraudulent right now

Dillon Brooks is back on the court. Ohh my God. This game is far from over

They swole the lead from 4 to 24 when he sat. He's back and it's down to 15. Goodness

Roland17:
This was a terrible playoff performance by Mitchell but I will put this squarely on JB Bickerstaff because of his bad rotation and lineups.

I'm disappointed by Mobley and Allen as well. They're still young though but considering Randle was a non factor in this series the Cavs really shat the bed.

The series was surprisingly uncompetitive. What an anticlimax

What LeNomad is doing playing these many minutes is admirable but the smart thing to do if the Grizz are still up by more than 15 with 5 minutes to go is to rest him for Game 6

Reaves and Hachimura. These are two guys the Mavericks and Mark Cuban should totally be looking at. Just high IQ players. Would be better to split that Kyrie money to pick up those two

Another playoff series Jalen Brunson has owned Donovan Mitchell. And to think he wasn't even an Allstar

Wetin dey worry this shithouse? Shey na you get forum

Took Dillon Brooks out and were able to build up a lead. Who woulda thought??

Lol. Niggas really argued that a team with Xavier Tillman, Dillon Brooks and Jaren Jackson were the favorites against this Lakers squad

The Grizzlies build a small lead and the Lakers get serious for 3 minutes and cut double digit deficits to one or two possessions. Too easy

And why is Taylor Jenkins letting Dillon Brooks play? This is coaching malpractice at this point. This joker is shooting less than 30% from the field racking up fouls and cannot guard anybody. How are NBA coaches missing what an average Joe Schmo like me can clearly see. This guy is not an NBA level player

You will crumble for being so cheap Mark Cuban. Just see your life for outside

Again this is not equality oo👀

Lol na una dey answer these people. When dystopia hits everyone will revert to default settings.

This is why I don't engage them ndi efemenisi on a normal day. When it's time for bills "I be woman ohh"

benji93:
Why is nobody talking about the fact that Booker has been the best player on that Suns team so far? Is he the best player on that team?

That's true. He's been playing out of his mind these playoffs thus far. Definitely playing with a chip on his shoulder

If Lakers play at even 60% level that series ends in 5.

You people need to stop with your phony analysis and breakdown trying to prop the Grizzlies to be what they are not. The two best players on the Lakers, Lebron and AD combined for only 34 points from 117 and the Lakers were still able to win. That is who you're touting as underdog? Shameless

Lool. You people can keep deceiving yourselves like the Grizzlies were a threat. Say na stacked West. When everyone knows the best teams are in the East. Abi no be Nuggets be #1 seed?

Like I said you lot are only contradicting yourselves.

Expecting the Lakers to dispatch the Grizzlies is actually me acknowledging Lebron's greatness. You're the ones guilty of the crime you accuse me of all because you're unsure and cannot stick your neck out for your guy. There's an English word for that. It's called Cowardice

Man's said Grizzlies have 3 sharpshooters
let me guess, Dillon Brooks, Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson

Takeover of game at the last minute. What happened to the 9 points D'angelo Russell scored late in the 4th that got the game to a point it could be taken over

No tetescopher or punter with sense God gave geese will follow what Bookies say regarding sports matchups. They were not built for you to make money they were built for you to lose money.

Easy example. UFC this past weekend. Curtis Blaydes vs Sergei Pavlovich. Curtis Blaydes was the bookie favorite and Pavlovich the underdog but if you had even a clue about fighting. Barbecue chicken. Pavlovich 1st round knockout

Secondly anyone with discernment could have seen that since the Allstar break the Lakers had the best record in the West. This was a surging team. Again only a mugu analyst will not see now what I've been saying since January. How did a team with no time to "build chemistry" rack up that many wins and over a 25 game sample size were the best in the conference

You're merely discrediting your guy by crowning him the underdog vs lesser opponents. Even if phony analysts are parroting such shouldn't you be the ones pushing back? But no. Need to have that excuse in the back pocket in case they failed.

Don't think you guys are being fair to Kawhi. This is not a Ben Simmons situation at all. The guy's body is clearly breaking down on him. That's not even considering this recent development

So let's recap, he had the quad issue, Zaza incident, torn ACL and degenerative knees. It's abundantly clear his body simply can't take the rigors over extended periods for whatever reason. A kinesiologist might be able to explain better

Even for Paul George that was a serious injury, remember this is someone that has broken his leg. We troll AD a lot but there's guys with even worse injury history and he is one of them.

The Clippers have to think long and hard about what they need to do next season

Skrrrrrrr:


The funny thing here is that all the LeBron cry babies, talking about hate basically do worse to curry.
Comparing curry to freaking Dame lillard.
Curry doesn't even claim to be the GOAT. Just because he has equal number of rings as LeBron.
Calling LeBron an underdog, against morant.

Bruh free these hypocrites abeg. No time

Na wa. Westbrick should not even be taking offense to anyone that calls him Westbrick at this point. He has earned the nickname

benji93:
Well, I join cause am, na me talk say make the Grizzlies end am in 6. Na agba ofofo these young Grizzs be, Brooks especially. I made the underdog narrative easy. . Besides another excuse is already building up and I love it.

Lol. One thing about me is I'm objective to a fault. No amount of bad belle will make me not face reality when it comes to certain topics. Even if I supposedly 'hate' Lebron. I'm realistic to see that the Lakers are a very deep squad and were a sleeping giant that are definitely better than their record suggested. Even when they got just Hachimura. Just him I saw them as a threat

Then they offload Westbrook, get a younger Russell, Beasley and one mugu is calling them underdog? Is it till them arrange 92 Dream Team. Think of how deep the team is that Lonnie Walker, Bamba and Beasley cannot even get any playing time.

Grizzlies only had a puncher's chance. Don't forget they are missing both Clarke and Adams. Two big bodies that could have made the series more competitive. Then I come here and someone is telling me Ja Morant, Bane and Jaren Jackson, is supposed to beat two top 75ers.

In that West the only team I would have confidently backed to beat the Lakers is a healthy Clippers team. Not even Golden State. Cos I don't believe Golden State match up well with Lakers

Suns got off lucky. The Nuggets will be a different animal

Westbrook picks the absolute worst time to have a disaster class. Facilitate when you know you don't have that shot making juice instead of shooting your team out the series

Seeing a healthy Jamal Murray back is such a treat. He's taken a huge amount of load from Jokic who isn't quite that scorer in playoffs setting

Close out games are always the toughest ones. See how Clippers and Wolves are fighting for their lives

Roland17:
Worsestill without his side kick and 2nd punch Murray!

A terrible loss. With Murray back the ginger at the Phillip's would be mad.

Also Mazulla vs Snyder. What adjustments will he make because can you imagine if this even gets to a Game 7. Ime Udoka go dey one corner dey rub palms like Birdman

Roland17:
Only people who don’t follow this thread closely don’t know. During the playoffs, we get people on here and it’s easy for most who don’t follow the thread to make hasty statements..

It is one reason, I only engage handles that I know and have been following for a long time on here because I know their positions and they know mines!

We know their type. Was he here last season when they missed the playoffs?

Vajayjays. None of them were bold and bullish except Honlucas. They wanted to be able to push the underdog narrative if they lost, which tells me they are not even confident about their goat at all.

All their bluster is just placebo, a fake. If the Lakers were losing most of them wouldn't even be here

Stupid people. We hate someone cos we expected them to beat the Grizzlies and refused to buy the underdog narrative from day 1. Military grade stupidity

So Trae Young took two games from these same Celtics that swept KD and Kyrie, arguably better Celtics team too. Hmmm we're going to have a discussion

Roland17:
This is absolutely unnecessary and you are the one going personal. How you come up with this is beyond me because none of us can compete with professional athletes playing at the highest level in terms of success, particularly financial success.

The person you are throwing this shade at ranks Ajala as the 2nd GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME behind Jordan! He even ranks Ajala ahead of his favorite player Kobe Bryant (RIP) and that speaks to how much he respects Ajala.

Do better bro!

Jordan na my #1 player but just leave the m0ron. The way he's waffling you would think he's the CEO of one Fortune 500 company. Not like anybody gives a shxt anyway

I've been the one since January saying I expect the Lakers to be a threat when these fools were still busy playing poosie and ostrich because they wanted a crutch and excuses to rely on if their guy failed. But I'm the hater?

Akpuruka analyst don start again oh. Even Yoruba e no hear.

Ajala is just trolling LeNomad for his nomadic ways and how he hops from team to team. Ajala the Traveler, Ajala travel all over the world was an ode to how Lebron travels on the court and to Olabisi Ajala the well known globetrotter back in the day

Akpuruka strikes again

kendrick93:
We bought him for less than 30m.
He's not a flop.
He was excellent last season.
Our best midfielder..
This season, injuries has limited his playing time.

Nobody cares about your Thiago my bro. He was finished goods when he left. No coincidence he's done nothing for your club since he got there. When is his contract due? Hit me up when you renew it or something. I promise you no Bayern fan gives a rat's ass about Thiago.

Terrible collapse by the Celtics in those last 8 minutes. Unbelievable

Bought Embiid more time to heal up
