Adebayo wants no part of the TimeLord

Lowry is just fouling and doing cardio on the court. My guy is washed

What a start by the Celtics

What were the Bucks thinking letting PJ Tucker go. Good grief

Jaylen Brown has terrible handles. The way he turns it over is criminal mehn

Khanben:
Brunson and Dinwiddie is better than Stackhouse, Josh Howard, Jason Terry?

Your poorly worded argument is tying you in tortuous knots. Oya tell me the series the Mavs led in Nowitzki's absence

What you should have said is that Luka has had more individual success and is on a higher trajectory but Dirk has an MVP which trumps everything Luka has done so far

Khanben:
I have not seen Luka play with a talent like Jerry Stackhouse or Jason Terry. Or are you going to say that any of his teammates so far are as good as any of those guys.
Dude just got him 3rd first team all-nba nod in 4years at the stacked guard position.

That one no concern me. Jerry Stackhouse was a 14-3-2 guy. Don't come here and cap like he was some star when he arrived Dallas.

Luka literally has to win a chip or force a Game 7 in the finals to have done more for the Mavs than Dirk in 10 years.

All NBA is not a team achievement

Khanben:
He has done more for the Mavs in his first 4yrs than Dirk did is his first 10yrs with the team

Lol. Are you serious at all? You do realize Dirk got to an NBA Finals and won 67 games as well as league MVP in that timespan right?

Welcome Nazraoui on a free. Pretty neat pickup

Neuer gets a 1 year extension

Roland17:
For you though... The spike in ratings from this season's playoff is attributed to the games in the Eastern conference.

I meant the Western Finals. I don't want to believe you're that much of a homer to believe the Eastern games have been better

Plus the Warriors and Grizzlies has the highest rating thus far in the playoffs

Khanben:
So just because they are getting paid, the team has the right to just derail their career because they want to tank.
Professional sports is just like any other profession, this archaic attitude that it is a privilege is laughable.
Just as no one expects any top Professional in any field to just down tools and not work for any reason and still expect to get paid, also no one expects a professional to accept becoming redundant because they are getting paid, but somehow when it comes to athletes, people have that inexcusable cop-out "they are getting paid ", so what?
You cannot make rules for them and not for me, if you don't want to play a guy, either trade him, or agree to a buyout.
If the league will insist on earn as you play as they should, then it has to be bilateral.

False equivalence. In the real world if your employer is paying you and you don't have to show up at work are they really derailing your career? I'm sure everyone here would gladly take $28m to not show up at work. Plus if you don't show up at that work doesn't that leave you time to do other stuff?

These guys are simply far too well compensated for you to bandy that line. Who is going to agree to a buyout for a John Wall or Al Horford? What was their market and who agrees on terms? Did you see any team hustling for John Wall?

birdman:
E better pass WCF, we go manage am like dat abeg.

Where are the dodos annointing Luka as the next Lebron, best player left in the playoffs, etc Lol

I have found the Western bracket far more entertaining

Luka beat a 64 win team. To put in perspective Lebron beat just 1 50+ win team from 2003-2010

Khanben:
Mark Jackson, just made a great point, when the next CBA happens and ownership brings up the case of Simmons and Kyrie (rightfully so), the issue of sitting guys who are willing and ready to play also has to be addressed. Horford, Wall and many others who were willing to play have been deprived of that opportunity because the team wanted to tank for picks

They're getting paid regardless. There's a difference

Lol. Which kin series be this

Golden State simply have too much depth. I knew this series was lost after that Game 2 chokejob by the Mavs. If you're the weaker team you absolutely cannot lose such a lead. I would be shocked if this doesn't end in a sweep.

People don't realize how deep this Warriors squad is.

Steph
Klay
Wiggins
Poole

That's 4 guys that can give you 15-40 points any given night. Teams like that are tough to beat especially for a Dallas that has no big that can go in the paint

Reggie Bullock shot 0/10. Maxi Kleber 0/5. The Mavs are a good 3pt shooting team and it's what they do best unfortunately they're facing a team better than them at this plus they cannot rebound

Congrats. Any team but Inter Merdaaa

Interesting stat. Steph Curry is averaging 10 rebounds in this series.

23 turnovers. You're not beating anybody with that.

Lol this was a wasted effort by the Celtics. Poor ball movement, poor shot selection. Especially in the closing stretch.

Wahala. Jayson hurt

Victor Oladipo taking Jaylen Brown's lunch money

Man the Bucks were really stupid letting PJ Tucker walk. This is not who you pinch pennies with

Big Al Horford. If Celtics somehow recover he's the guy

Marcus Smart doing a Paul Pierce

Khanben:
Assinn, the level of swings no be small

Wow that Smart injury was much worse than advertised initially. I'd be shocked if that ankle didn't snap

Butler out. Be like Smart sef don break something. What a series man

Decent run by Boston to close the half. They just gave themselves a puncher's chance

All the 3s wey Tatum for make this series he don make am the last game

Adebayo. Barbecue chicken

Celtics missing too many free throws. You can't aid home cooking if you can't make free throws

This is disgraceful from Boston. I can't even see what they are playing. Just doing cardio on the court. All over the place

Khanben:
Ownership were trying to be cheap, no 2 ways about it

Classic case of pennywise pound foolish. Cos they signed Grayson for 2 year 20million

This thing Marcus Smart is playing I don't know what it is but it's not basketball

Bucks really missed PJ Tucker mehn. What was their idea behind letting him walk and replacing him with who? Fvxkin Grayson Allen
