Roland17:
Brown is having a night to forget

He's not been good all playoffs. Just got away with Kyrie and KD playing worse

Horford has Giannis in jail

Marcus Smart will wound himself with all this floppin

Marcus Smart looking like a bull in a China shop

Celtics bigs have done an excellent job on Giannis. It would have been a blowout now

Khanben:
Did you not see who was guarding Gorbert down the stretch, they put Doncic on him and the few times he got the ball he was still not comfortable taking it to the basket. If he cannot score against an average defender who he has at least 6 inches on and is more athletic than, then there is no need feeding him the ball.

I understand Gobert's handles are dodgy. I pointed it out as well. I'm just saying that they have to find ways to incorporate him to the offense somehow. Otherwise it's no point playing him. I don't see why Gobert and Mitchell cannot have a PnR game running at all

If Giannis keeps making these free throws it's going to be a short series

Ahh be like Celtics don see defense wey pass them

Holiday can be so dodgy with the basketball. Which kin PG be this?

Robert Williams is doing fantastic work on Giannis. Problem is Giannis is finding the open man and piecing the Celtics like a surgeon

DeeMain:
Good. We are making progress. Thank you for not lying again. No more gaslighting. Own all your hate and slandering and smear campaign. That's all I ask.

Braah just piss off my mentions. I'm not a Bron fan and I'd never be so free me now

This Dillon Brooks plays with no feel sometimes. Just fouled out for naught

Khanben:
The Jazz as a team defensively has 1 major strength and that is, Gobert at the rim and they also have 1 major weakness, which is perimeter defending. So any team that wants to beat them, when Gobert is on the floor has to do it from about 8ft out, which is how Denver and the Clippers did it in back to back seasons. The midrange jumper, runner or floater are all harder shots to make than a set 3 pointer.
That is why apart from Doncic, Brunson and sometimes Dinwiddie all the role players from the Mavs will mostly take the set 3 because it's a more efficient shot especially against the Jazz. At least that is the way I see it

I said that initially. I think it's an open secret that the Jazz lack the ability to contest or run teams off the 3pt line. I made reference of the Clippers doing the same thing last season.

The issue was the Jazz were shooting at a low clip and didn't at least try to feed Gobert some easy buckets. With the Mavs lack of size it's a warcrime for a 7'2 center to be averaging single digits in the series

Roland17:
According to multiple reports Joel Embiid suffered a right orbital fracture after colliding with Raptors Siakam in game 6 and is now out indefinitely.

He was doing bird man celebration up 29 with less than 4 minutes to go. I don't know what Doc's plan was but I'd like to believe they would have held on to a 20pt plus lead in the last 5 minutes even without Embiid. As it stands the Heat might have been spotted a game or 2 just like that

Ja looking like a poor man's Westbrook

Roland17:
I agree with what Chuck said, the Grizzlies are doing it with S. Adams who has not been involved in the Timberwolves series. At the end of the day, something has to give. While they have both core players tied long term, I think they need to move one of them, Donovan if you ask me. I have been saying this for 2 seasons now, it is best to break this team.

The Gobert contract was a nasty overpay. Gobert too had yet to add any extra wrinkles to his game to have the moral standing to demand the ball. His handles are still a bit dodgy and he has no real post game to speak of. There is also need for him to evolve

Whatever beef Mitchell and Gobert have they need to squash it because I don't see a team that takes on Mitchell or Gobert with that 5 year deal

Roland17:
Baba, there is a reason I choose carefully who I dey engage. No be every mention I dey respond to these days, not worth it.

No be d same guy wen cap rubbish earlier and when u correct am him apologize come blame bottles say him dey somewhere.

They are mentally unstable I think. Rivalry, beefs and bad belle is what makes the sport interesting. Let him talk to them Nick Wright's, Shannon Sharpe's, Bron fanboys who stan and create nonsense narratives cos so long as they exist so would we on the other side. And we're unapologetic about it too

Roland17:
I guess J. Kid’s strategy in this series if just to jack up 3 point attempts because I am not seeing another strategy here. Except I am missing something

That is the state of basketball now. Who can spam the most 3s. That is the skill we keep hearing wey we no go hear word

Anyway Utah need to make up their mind on what they need to do. Defending the corner 3s is their weakness which the Clippers also exposed last year so like Chuck said if you're not going to feed Gobert on the other end and punish their lack of size then you might as well not play him and just run all out small ball and see who bombs the most 3s

Guy, you are gaslighting and someone like me will hold you accountable. You and Roland17 are self-confessed Lebron haters and the receipts are all over this thread going back many years. Slandering Lebron is oxygen for you and I am ashamed on your behalf for even having the effrontery to deny this.

You legendary war with Ersan here for many years was all about you destroying Lebron's name, reputation and legacy.

You are working so hard on revisionism but nothing can wash away your sins here.

Lebron is probably the one superstar in the NBA who has the most unrelenting rabid and bileful army of haters in the history of the sport.

You blame his fans for hyping him, why don't you hype your own superstar and quit the hating. No, you must tarnish him religiously to ensure your chosen ones shine.

The truth is that the kind of hate you guys spew when anything Lebron comes up here borders on the obsessive compulsive.

And that's troubling.

Are you not all grown men?

Hold me accountable? Are you smoking loud or meth. Who died and gave you that appointment

Fuq you and everything you stand for gee. Nobody gives a damn.

What are the negatives I say about Lebron apart from basketball related stuff and calling out his hypocrisy on China. We had someone here who alleged Michael Jordan's gambling killed his pops you did not attack or hold them accountable. Na me you dey hold accountable

May Amadioha impregnate you with triplets. Lunatic. Accountability kee you there

For every Lebron hater he also has an army of Bronsexuals and loyalists. So the 'slander' evens out. Which was my point

You ignoramuses suffer from main character syndrome that is why you would argue that Kevin Durant is not the most slandered player in the history of the sport.

Finally no be you go tell me wetin to do you cretin. I don't know you from a can of paint and I'd rather we keep it that way

DeeMain:
I strongly disagree. You, a self- confessed Lebron's slanderer-in-chief on NL, know your statement above cannot be true.

Slander: To malign, vilify, defame, a campaign of calumny; making malicious statements, making statements that cause people to have a bad opinion of someone, making statements about someone that damages or hurts his reputation.

What has Lebron not endured from you hateful lot for years and years? What?

You're being extremely dishonest. Even in the midst of my talk I still have LeNomad as number 2 on my list. What have I said that is damaging to his reputation? You people just use words carelessly

For every me there's at least 3 aggressive Bronsexuals right here on this page. Rabid Lebron fans that will put their credibility and everything else on the line to defend him. From fans to mainstream media Bronsexuals full ground

You think everyone is going to love him? That is not possible. Jordan in his prime was the most popular athlete on the planet undisputed and still had haters.

Any slander on Lebron will always get pushback from his army of Bronsexuals. Who bats for KD on the other hand? To the point he needs to create burner accounts to defend himself.

Just look at, you're here Bronsexualin already and you don't even know it.

mattfeuter:
A40, I’m suprised that you actually made that statement.

I strongly disagree.

Lebron gets way more slandered than KD.

OKC years, he wasn’t under pressure, the majority of the blame goes to Russ. Nobody was really slandering him back then.

Golden state, yes, he was the most complete player on that team but had no real pressure because he had Steph, Klay and Draymond.

Brooklyn Nets, this was the first time he’s been under pressure to win and prove that he can carry a team on his own and the Brodie got swept.

This right here is the reason he’s just getting pretty much of the heat.

Now let’s take a step-back. Before the 2 finals MVP, he was never regarded as the best player in the world, but after he got them, Most analysts were saying he’s better than Lebron and this is how the pressure starts building up.

LeBron has been under pressure and expectations right from HIGH SCHOOL and has lived up to the hype. This season just proved how hard it has been for him to maintain dominance in the league throughout these years.

Up until this day, people still hold him accountable for the 2011 finals collapse and talk about it on his IG/Twitter comment section 24/7.

If you replace KD with Lebron on that nets team, I don’t think they’d have gotten swept.

No. You people are conflating Expectations for Slander.

When you're in the GOAT conversation you can not be talking about slander again. After 2011 debacle Lebron left slanderville.

Nobody is questioning the legitimacy of his titles like KD so comparing their slander is highly dubious. KD is the first player in the history of basketball that pundits in major sports networks are openly putting asterisks on his championships

Which slander fit pass that one?

When Lebron was adjudged the best player he won 4 MVPs and got his accolades without comma, people were even trying to hand him Marc Gasol's rightfully deserved DPOY award. And Derrick Rose's deserved MVP as well.
KD never enjoyed such luxuries. It was always best player with a but.

Guy. 2011 slander will never compare to KD joining GSW slander. Tell me when Lebron has ever been labeled a snake and a cupcake.

Again Lebron is in GOAT conversation, KD is not top 15 as we speak so how can you equate their slander

What would LeNomad have done different? Considering Kyrie only scored more than 20 points in one game? Max he wins 1 game. Is it Lebron that will make Nic Claxton not miss 10 free throws in a row? Be realistic please

Foul trouble for Jokic ultimately cost the Nuggets, could have easily stolen this

Jokic wiping those boards clean. Damn

DeeMain:
Guy, read what I wrote again. Where did I mention YouTube or twitter or Instagram?

I mentioned specifically that at least on this thread he is being given a pass, all resident Lebron haters are forming considerate and there's only few mild trolling, nothing heavy, unlike the wild insults and desecration that would have engulfed here had it been it was Lebron.


On the social media slander.

You all judged Lebron so violently over the years without mercy, like he was a robber. Now you all should have a little taste of the monster you birthed.

********
I just pity KD. No one deserves this treatment, not him, not Kyrie, not Bron. They are all humans like the rest of us, with imperfections and hearts that can be hurt, playing the game they love.

Nobody in the history of basketball has chopped more slander than Kevin Durant. To dispute this is to be deliberately dishonest

Emphasis on slander

Anthony Edwards. What a clutch shot

Huge shot by Ja. KAT getting crushed on the boards

The inexperience from these two teams is just oozing. I hope it gets to a Game 7

Jesus who be this Dillon Brooks guy 2/16 0/8. This man is a war criminal


And where that bros comparing Trae Young to Tony Parker. Diarriz God oh

Roland17:
There is reason I switched from LeBum to Ajala because like their MCM, they are all over the place. No be the same TNT pre/post game we dey watch everyday? They want us to shoot him dead before they accept he is getting sticks even though it is staring at them in the face.

Since after game 2 loss, everyone I have listened to has mocked and called him out. Like I said earlier, these guys are disappointed KD took it in his stride while the series was going on. They thought he would bark at them or avoid press conferences and cry about the criticism but he held it. EVERY FREAKING NEWSPAPER ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT CARRIED THE HEADLINE OF THR NETS LOSS HAD A KD PICTURE AS THE COVER PAGE!

On this same thread folks were posting pictures of what he missed after leaving, Kyrie’s comments about KD being the other player that can take that shot.. A40 removed him from his list and trashed him openly, he is my favorite player but I did not cater to him but because Ajala has to be inserted into the discourse they can’t help themselves but constantly expose their insecurities. Watch them push their hate on Steph next..

KD is always going to be KD, he will respond and engage people on Twitter now, that is who he is and has always been and it doesn’t change how I feel about him. On every show I watch Giannis is touted as the best player in the league.

These are the set of travelers that tried to sell us lies about the assembly and Westbrooks journey to LA. Everyday na new lie. Big ups to guys like @Birdman who keep it 100.

The talk is even a bit vexing. Who has received more slander in basketball history than KD? At least LeNomad has legion of Bronsexuals in the media both TV and social. KD has to use burner accounts to defend himself ffs

Dillon Brooks thinks he Steph. Get this joker off the court ffs

This Dillon Brooks guy is going to shoot Grizzlies out of the series. Why is he allowed to take so many shots?

Lowkey Ja having a bad series

donlittle25:
I don't really understand Ajala fans man.

All over social media, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube from Charles to Kenny to shaq to Stephen to Rose, to Skip and over 1 million tweets on Instagram in almost an hour after the game are ripping KD to shred.

Barkley sat on tv and said he is not a great player, even A40 said he is not among the top 15. Roland called him out. Everyone even on youtube, and Instagram comment is calling him out but for some weird reasons, Ajala fans said everyone his giving him a pass.

How did this become about a nigga that didn't make even the freaking play in?

Bronsexuals will forever be mad at KD for joining Golden State that is the secret of their anger and rogbodiyan all over the internet

They thought only their man had the right to join up and form the best possible Superteam in their athletic primes

Unless KD joins the Lakers this summer he will never escape their slander

They are not even in competition for legacy which makes the argument even more amusing. Even me wey be #1 antiBronsexual still have him number two on my list and KD outside the top 15 so why are they still crying
