Nesmith is out for blood. Pacers are winning this game with just 3 free throws. Crazy

Pacers landing Siakam has been such a gamechanger.

Seems he's living up to the agenda I was pushing that year

Kyrie has been dragged about things outside the court. As for me that is none of my business and I don't care.
As far as basketball is concerned, In the last 6 seasons, he got injured before the playoffs in his first season with the Celtics and that team made it to the conference finals. The next season he was the top dog and that same team got swept in the first round. 3 seasons with the Nets where he did nothing in the postseason one season he played 9 games and in the next he got swept in the 1st round and only played well in one game.
Let's not talk about how underwhelming he was in the OKC series.
So yes, he has been getting a pass on his underperformance for more than half a decade.
There you go capping again.

Kyrie was dragged and tagged as a locker room cancer that failed to lead the Celtics team. I remember very vividly and you have also admitted that they went further without him than they did with him.

Who do you think was getting all the blame for that gentleman sweep to the Bucks? It certainly wasn't Tatum or Brown

Literally the only year he got any type of pass was the year they lost to the Bucks in 7 back in 2021

Kyrie literally gets shitted on for his lack of success without Bron. Don't rewrite facts about Kyrie's dragging solely being over his off court stuff

So the 80s was not Magic vs Bird or it was not .MJ and the Bulls. It was not can Kobe win without Shaq? You have a funny way of rehashing history, you want people to believe that it was up until Lebron that people started saying it was about Lebron and others.
As for Kyrie, the dude got a pass for half a decade just because of that performance in the 2016 playoffs series.
Nobody said Magic and Bird were dragging or carrying teams. It was called the Showtime Lakers remember?? It was not Showtime Magic

With MJ and the Bulls it was same thing. Pippen got credit maybe even too much credit.

You keep conflating issues. Star player is different from flat out saying someone carried a team like other players on the team were just bums

Again Bronsexuals are largely responsible for pushing that narrative of carrying. They do it with the NBA Finals streak, they did it with the narrative that KD joined the Warriors just to stop Lebron as if another player on the Cavs didn't outscore the Warriors best player in that series

Kyrie getting a pass is a myth. Don't use this isolated season to push that false narrative cos Kyrie has been persona non grata since Boston. You're the one rehashing history here

Really the narrative of one man winning in the nba started with Lebron. Come on, it is okay if you don't like the guy or his fans, but to claim that the one guy carried a team started with Lebron is a big fat lie. The one guy carrying the team has existed as far back as when Wilt played with people claiming he was a loser because his team lost once again to Bill's Celtics, even though Bill had like 5-6 other HOF on his team.
Lol. You've started capping again. The whole lingo of carrying a team went mainstream in NBA lingo with Bron.

Used to be a goofy thing to say in the past cos we all knew you needed a team to win.

It's Bronsexuals we frequently heard saying Bron carried Bron carried. The only other player I can say was also given that credit which I can somewhat understand is A.I

What are we even talking about. Is it not Bronsexuals that claim Warriors recruited KD to stop one guy. Like Kyrie's 27 ppg didn't help the Cavs win

Laughable you would mention Wilt. How can that be when he had Jerry West and Elgin Baylor on his team. He also lost to the Knicks with those two all time greats. Bad example

His back issues has removed the possibility of him ever getting handles or a post game. That's why he should never have been signed to anything near a max extension.
Yeah that was a crucial error by their Front office. Not at the time because you thought his skillset and game would expand. But it's apparent now that he's pretty much a spot up shooter that can't create for himself or others. You don't have to pay $35m to a player that limited

it was the other day we talked here if some people who has phobia for helicopter 🚁,

How many prominent people has died of chopper crash, should we also run a conspiracy of their death without evidence 🧾

People don't seize to amaze me .

It was glaring of how the whole place was filled with clouds and fogs, even the rescue and search operation was marred by weather and visibility issues..

The territory this happened is even in an iranain territory..
Any other cause of his death is mere hearsay and conspiracy..

Israel embarking on an assisination mission to off a president of a war mongering nation like Iran is also a suicide mission on the side of Israel because there is a probability of there cover been blown and about escalating yo whole new international confrontation..

If Iran no too strong, they have allies that can stick their head for them..
We are all speculating here so take it all with a pinch of salt.

All we are saying is bombing a country as dangerous as Israel and dying inside 1 month. Hmmmm. Foreign minister and President in one helicopter. Double hmmm

If Israel can kill their Quds and generals on foreign soil what makes you think they can't kill Raisi

We all saw what happened with Prigozhin

Iranian government said number 2 and 3 were traveling in a convoy of 3 helicopters.

Must have been bad luck that it was only their own that had problems with bad weather cheesy cheesy cheesy

Although I do agree with you sha, especially since we lost Kobe, I no get liver to enter those things
True. I just found it weird that their convoy what are the odds that the chopper of the most important of the delegates is the one that crashed.

It might be coincidental. It might be Agent Eli Copter that had a hand in it

Anyway I'm sure all the school girls in Tehran are dancing for joy.

Brother I no fit enter helicopter. They're too fragile for me and the chances of survival are almost nil. As someone who's been in two car crashes entering a helicopter will just be like tempting fate

Even before Kobe what of that Leicester owner. Just watch match finish. Not sure he had gone 100 meters from the stadium

Israel wey don dey beg for smoke, firewood, gas and the whole kitchen since, they will rather face a real country than face their surrogate terror groups like Hamas Hezbollah Houthi etc who will cry out that they are killing civilians
I don't know why they think any of these countries can do that's worse than what Hitler did to them. That Holocaust experience has made them battle scarred and battle hardened.

This is exactly how you judge if a loss is on the number 1 option or not. Jokic and Murray in this game held up their end of the bargain. They both scored 69pts of the 90 total. That is how bad the role players were tonight. But come morning some idiot with a platform will say that Jokic choked or something along that line.

PS: The Nuggets bench scored just 5pts in this game. They seriously need to upgrade that bench come what may this offseason
That would be silly to say. Basketball is a team sport. It's Bronsexuals that began this narrative of a player carrying a team but anyone with a working brain knows this is humanly impossible in a 5 man sport

Years from now Anthony Edwards would be given credit for 'carrying' this team. Nobody would mention a Jaden McDaniels averaging 22pts a game in the 2 wins

The GM essentially punted on this season after more or less stating this team was not designed with a back to back in view. If you watch Mike Malone and Jokic in previous interviews they stylishly brought up personnel and how their starters had been run into the ground. The first priority should be going back to get Bruce Brown and then get rid of all the flotsam on their bench young and old

Hehehe. I'm not underrating Mossad and the Jewish people's gangster but I just think the Iranian president were more on a suicide mission than anything else.

I heard he was favorite to replace Khamenei. I also heard Khamenei son eyeing the job. I'm not saying he had anything to do with this

I just find it a bit sus that you would fly a chopper across mountainous regions in bad weather. That's just begging to die if you ask me

End of the road for Dallas, Minnesota double teaming on doncic like they did with jovic and it's lights out, their tight defense should see them through
Wolves in 5 or 6
Is it? Hmm. I'm not so sure. Depends on Kyrie. This is the series he has to show up.

And unlike Denver Dallas has two athletic bigs. This should be a tighter series than most people think

Man, I circled back to the game at some point and I swore I saw a double digit lead for the Nuggets. And went back to sleep, so Im shook this morning. Had to be an epic choke job, lol. I did warn you about MPJ, the guy man has not lived up to his potential in some years now and stays injured a lot

Now you see why I was so pissed with dem Lakers and Lebron, they slept through their series mehn, I know it!!! They mailed that series in, including Lebron. That should at least have been a game 6 or 7
They're such a Jekyll and Hyde team I've never seen anything like it. They only have themselves to blame for failing to put Minny away

MPJ is not a max player but is on max salary and that is the problem the Nuggets have now. Come 2025 guys like Jamal and Aaron Gordon will want another bag, KCP would be expendable by then but there's no way they will be able to fit in all 3. Someone will have to go.

And MPJ now is pretty much a glorified spot up shooter. You can get one for way less than $35m

Lakers don't have Anthony Edwards, McDaniels or Naz Reid. I hope they sign another big name like Mitchell instead of gritty and hungry players so they can lose again

I have Wolves winning this series.
Gobert, Naz and KAT go chew the rookie Lively.
And a hobbled Luka will be going against a great defense
I don't believe Dallas shoots as badly as the Nuggets would. Plus they have a much better and versatile bench.

Wolves are favorites rightfully so but I won't be surprised at all if the Mavs win

They let a 16pts lead vanish at home. That 3rd and 4th quarter is atrocious. They shot themselves out of the game.

They attempted more 3s in the 3rd and 4th quarter than 2pt.

The FT disparity in the 4th quarter is laughable. 2 for Nugget, 15 for Wolves.
It was 20pts with 10 and a half minutes in the 3rd.

They're just an unserious team. They think everyone is the Lakers. They go on these nasty ass extreme slumps that I don't even understand.

Who blows a 20pt lead at home?

You see why I hate 3pt spamming so much. Because when you start missing you look like you don't belong on the court.

A guy like MPJ has now become a spot up shooter. All these guys now do is shoot. 6'10 no handles, no post game. Just a spot up shooter, once your 3 doesn't fall you're useless cos you're not a 3 level scorer. Which is a travesty for a player of his potential especially on that contract
