Yeah once MAGA Mike starts hitting those 3s pack it up

OK this is Nuggets game to lose now. Let's hope they don't bottle it like they did vs the Timberwolves last year

Roland17:
Switching from man to zone defense has helped them quite a bit because they were getting chewed by Zubac for a minute there.

I don't know why more teams don't play zone. It's such an effective scheme when used right

Wow. Good Westbrook on display here. I know Lakers fans are punching air watching this version of Russ

Impressive first half so far. Egalitarian offense. This version of the Nuggets where Jokic is not scoring a lot is actually the most dangerous version

This Braun is quite the upgrade on KCP. I recall saying it here that KCP will not be missed. You can see how KCP stank up the joint for the Magic this year

Game 7 Nuggets vs Clippers in a bit. Should be good

There was a lady a resident, she was asked by a NURSE if after work she will like to hang out for coffee(Obviously on a date). She took offence and wanted to report the guy to HR.

When she told me I only said calm down what has he done wrong by asking you politely. The only thing she could say was Mee!! a NURSE (implying the nurse bit more than she can chew by asking her

Few months later, An attending asked her on a date and she was ecstatic, she didn't threaten to report him to HR, they actually went on a date

Like my man Trump said, when you are rich, they let you do it, you can even grab them by the P. (We all know this is mostly true though)

Personally I don't see any upside to hitting on someone in close proximity be it work or adugbo sef. She can cry wolf and make your daily life hell if you discover you can't cope with her bad traits anymore. Adugbo na minor inconvenience but with work your means of livelihood is on the line

The juice just isn't worth the squeeze. Look at our Akwa Ibom brother for instance, he would have been NBA champion coach by now but proximity puna almost ruined his career.

See how that poor chap almost lost his job over someone who is probably neurotic and is carrying one emotional baggage or the other

The way the world is setup now, the woman almost has to show you explicit interest first before you make any moves. A wise love-vendor once said like the one who like you not the one you like

Steve Kerr is a really funny guy. After 6 DNPs the last 8 games you want to suddenly include Kuminga in the rotation in a Game 7.

People ask me all the time. 40! Why do you hate LeBronze. Why don't you like him?

It's cos of nonsense like this

Every year without fail after a playoff series loss we hear about some imaginary injury. Shameless and classless. So disrespectful to the competition

Ifedayosteven:
Steph hasn't been poor. Rockets done a great job taking him out of the game. He is been face guarded and fouled throughout the game. It's because of his off the ball movements he is able to even get the attempts he has.

Nonetheless, I believe the warriors experience is too much for the rockets, and the series will be over in 6

Wanna edit that?

Ohh the cat is really amongst the pigeons now. We're about to find out how really real is playoff Jimmy

And the Warriors. Hmm. Well Game 6 will determine a lot of things.

Steph Curry has quietly been poor the last two games. The Rockets will have nothing to lose game 6 so the Warriors better know what they are doing

Getting destroyed by Rudy Gobert of all people. What took him so long?

This is what I expect him to be doing to teams at 7'2 not be some fake defense merchant

Luka, Serge Ibaka, Chewbacca. Wolves in 5

LeBron, Chevron, Enron. Wolves in 5

And how the hell did the Bucks blow that game. I've seen choking in sports but this was a discovery

birdman:
Of course. Brooks na journeyman. I assure you the guy cannot learn anything new We can always get another. Im talking about the core

Brooks is like Draymond with lower IQ. I would keep him on the team and give him a 6-8 shot per game quota

Your core is not good enough. Jalen Green is too much of a yo-yo player and FVV is who he is. He's maximized his abilities as an undersized guard in this league. However to make the next big leap Jalen Green and FVV cannot be 2 of your best 3

Roland17:
The Bucks should have not rushed him back. They should have allowed him sit out the entire first round at least and hope they make it into the next round. A torn Achillies is a difficult one to come back from.

It's a gamble, just didn't work out. I was also shocked that a condition that took Wemby out for the season like two months prior Dame was returning from despite having it at a later date.

Giannis was out last year, I think the Bucks didn't think they were good enough to beat the Pacers without both of them.

Achilles is a wicked injury to have this late. KD people forget basically missed a full season and change so Dame most likely will not be back till fall of next year.

The Bucks need to tear it down. What else do you do with that roster. Put him on the trading block and begin rebuilding. I was surprised. They don't have a pick of their own till 2030. How is that even possible

benji93:
This is not good ooo. You and I apply the hammer when it comes to Le(4-6)bron. It's about time we start doing the same to our Kin. He's no longer a kid in this league.

I don't know mehn. I think people have overhyped Giannis more than we needed to. It's normal. We're all culprits. And all time greats like MJ, Kobe, Shaq, LeBronze, Steph and Duncan have kind of skewed our perspectives

Winning more than one ring is a privilege not a given. I think Giannis is a made man for life the problem is people start putting you in top 20 and top 10 conversations after one ring and then unrealistic narratives are painted

Kendrick where you dey?

Shey you saw ethical Hoops. Jamal is not a foul merchant like SGA. Blud can drop 50 without a free throw.

43 pts and 1 free throw that was on a technical. Levels

Lillard has torn his Achilles. Damn. He will be pushing 36 when he comes back. This might be it

Roland17:
He is the most protected superstar in the history of the league. He gets a pass for consistently underperforming every post season. Post 2021, what has he achieved? No other superstar has enjoyed the litany of excuses that is continuously being made for this man.

He got Bud fired, turned down N. Nurse because, approved the trade of D. Holiday for another scam in Lillard (not any different from Booker), anointed A. Griffin, only to publicly embarrass him on National TV before subsequently getting him fired.. All for what? One measly ring!

A player that has not improved any aspect of his offense since he became an All Star in this league. Can’t shoot a FT, no jumper, 0 footwork under the rim, no floater, blanks 3s.. only offense is flat track bullying people with the refs on his side..

When is he going to carry this team in their worst? We have blamed everyone but the common denominator!

No be all this one even pain me I saw someone on Twitter claiming he had passed the Dream. I just can't with these Johnny come lately NBA fans man.

I don't think Giannis is entirely at fault. They just hit a wall post championship. Held on to Middleton longer than necessary. Guys like Lopez as well. I still think y'all caught a break in 2022 though with Middleton going down but that's a part of the game

greypencils:
What's worse? Whosoever wins between Clippers & Nuggets is going against a well rested OKC. At this point, I am rooting for any team that would give Celtics à much deserved ass whooping. OKC seems the best deal.

That's the price you pay for not being consistent in the regular season. OKC is just a buzz saw. I don't know who beats them in the West. Nuggets would have been the team but Murray and MPJ are too damn inconsistent. And their useless ex GM didn't provide any depth

larride:
That Lakers in 5 shit Dey always make me laugh whenever I enter tiktok. I Dey always wonder Wetin Dey give them that confidence

Banter can't be sweet without Lakers fans. I do think it's Bronsexuals disguised as Lakers fans. The Lakers fans me I remember were not this delulu

birdman:
We need another year under coach. If nothing else, we learning from a very experienced playoff team

No. Certain players have a ceiling. FVV, Dillon Brooks can't be 2 of your top 4 scoring options they just can't. Their floor is unacceptable and their ceiling too infrequent

I expect guys like Green and Thompson to improve but you need a vet to put you over the top. I would have said KD but KD has reached empty calorie number levels. His 26-6-4 is no longer worth it's weight in gold

Roland17:
I don’t think I have seen Randle play this level of defense ever in his career. This man is moving his feet, diving for every ball and fighting through screens!

Playing for that bag. A man in a contract year is a dangerous man

This was a crazy game. Incredible fight back by the Timberwolves

LeNomad actually had some very key blocks but offensively he shat the bed badly in the 4th. I'm surprised neither he or Luka took the shot to tie

Anyway. Caterpillar, Drug dealer, Reggie Miller. Wolves in 5

Rockets are a fun story but they're not doing any damage till they get one or two bucket getters. Their offense is just too poor. Any offense with FVV, Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green as three of the top 4 shooters will be stuck on neutral. The fact that they even finished the two seed is still a mystery and speaks to Ime's coaching.

I wonder if the Clippers are lowkey wishing they finished 7th instead of 6th. Cos I'd be shocked if the Nuggets don't drag them to 7

Roland17:
The annoying part of the entire Grizzlies situation is that I don’t think Morant holds himself accountable or remotely thinks he is the reason they are where they are now. If this continues they may have to rebuild this roster. I don’t think it is well constructed anyways.

That team needs to be blown up. Ja I don't know. This is what happens when your father is trying to be your paddy. Accountability is impossible.

More critically though than just his shenanigans is the fact that he's actually almost as injury prone as Zion. This has really flown under the radar but I saw the numbers and I was quite surprised.

The issue is his style of play and the lack of a jumper means he is entering that paint to take punishment everytime. I just don't know how his body holds up since he can't be more than 160 soaking wet

That would have been a monumental collapse.

Tough for the Grizzlies they looked like a team for the future but the Ja wanted to be a gangster instead of just hooping

We fine in the West sounds really funny now

The Nuggets worked very hard to throw that game away. Unbelievable.

They were up 17. Then up 11 with 3 and a half to go. Absolutely crazy game

Hamilton turning his back on Ferrari?

https://thejudge13.com/2025/04/25/hamilton-turning-his-back-on-ferrari-panic-in-maranello-as-crisis-escalates/

Una diva don start again.

Season just start e don begin diva ways

This Magic team. If they mature finish teams will see shege oh

They play crazy defense for their youth.

What can we say about Lakers. At least no more Lakers in 5

I don't know what happened to Luka. Wetin dem go give am chop but Fairplay to LeBronze. He balled like crazy. Have to give him credit where it's due. His first solid game of the series

Timberwolves need to play much better Game 5. They shot really poorly the first 3 quarters.

And Rudy Gobert. What does bro do on the court? How are you 7'3 and you can't rebound for shyte. Unbelievable that he's won DPOY so many times. This dude is a joke
