What a game. This was bumper to bumper

Nuggets experience shining through

Kendrick where you dey? Can you see Jamal Murray in action? This is playoffs

larride:
It's possible only if they don't rely too much on 3s. It will be undoing in this series If they keep at it. Only White has been hitting his shots, he should be the one taking the most 3s in that team at the moment. Not him and Big AI dragging 3s attempts.

Tatum and Porzingis has also been shite. See KAT getting whatever he wanted in the paint last night. Porzingis should be doing that also.

I'm not sure it matters anymore. Celtics have lost their fear factor. When a team walks you down twice now they don't even fear you anymore. Celtics will now be the ones playing with fear.

This spamming of 3s is their identity. It clicked last season but the season before it failed them, looks like it is failing them again

Roland17:
This what happens when all you do is spam 3s. We stopped defending and being aggressive rebounding while spamming 3s.

The similarity between the two games is scary. I don't know how you trick yourself now that you can beat a team that came back from 20 pts. Twice!!!

Y'all were on 84 points with 8:40 left and somehow you scored 6 points in 9 minutes. 6!

Look at how early in the shot clock they were spamming the 3s even when they were comfortably ahead. This is why I always advocate against 3pt spamming. It makes players lazy both physically and mentally, you're bailing out the defense.

You just develop so many bad habits look at Antman now he's also wildly inconsistent because of this. 3pt spamming is also hurting his game

Rolando wetin dey occur. You see why I'm always preaching against spamming of 3pters. Because you never know when the 3ball will abandon you

I also think people slept on the Knicks. They were unlucky with injuries last year and would have been in the ECF if they were healthy. I think you guys are in big big trouble and I don't see how you beat the Knicks 4 times out of 5

Manutd19:
I thought I was cashing out big until Celtic decided to blow a 20 points lead.

Well, we go again. They are the best team in the league and this series so I expect them to win the series.

Celtic in 7

They're cooked

Steph out to be reevaluated in a week.

This Timberwolves team can be so shockingly bad on offense it was unbelievable to watch. The Lakers must be kicking themselves now, how did they lose in 5?

Haliburton really giving haters his butt to kiss these playoffs. I respect it

This Jalen Williams is slowly becoming a playoff underperformed.

5/20 as a second option? OKC have to look at him critically as a second option, I'm always wary of players that their regular season and playoff performance have huge variance. No matter their age. Sometimes it's good to know very early that if it didn't dey it didn't dey and move quickly.

Anyway game 2 will clarify if it's just a one off but the Mavs series last year was another instance

Roland17:
The fool had us freaking kicking out on an interior pass inside the paint! The hell!!!!

The Knicks were extremely methodical in their half court. They got what they were looking for but the Meerkat couldn’t make a single defensive adjustment with the Pick and Roll. I swear this guys makes me really 😡 😡

3pt and inshallah

Are you following the NHL playoffs. That was an insane game between the Jets and Blues and then Rantanen vs the Avs singlehandedly sent his former teammates packing

Roland17:
This what happens when all you do is spam 3s. We stopped defending and being aggressive rebounding while spamming 3s.

Hehehe. I've been vindicated.

How long have I been preaching anti 3pt spamming like a seminarian

Jamal my boy already cooking. Pure ethical hooper

Roland17:
Ty Lue low key has been disappointing in the post season with the Clippers and needs to be looked at more critically. I won’t be shocked if the Clippers decide to move on from him.

In 5 seasons with the Clippers, he has made it past the first round only once with 3 consecutive exits in the first round and failed to make the playoffs once.

I won't be too hard on him. The only truly disappointing loss was the one to the Mavs last season

Godx:
Waste of money and time. Canelo will wipe the floor with Craw.

Don't be so sure. Though part of me agrees. Bud is just too small but I still want to see the best of this era go at it.

Next should be Canelo x Benavidez. Those are the only fights that move me not these Doordash drivers they fight every quarter to pad records

I just want to know what Red Bull want Max to do with this Keke NAPEP

Canelo vs Bud Crawford September 12

Thank you Arabian money

99-66. Unbelievable

James Harden under in a Game 7 surer than death. You can stake your entire mortgage, pension, children school fees. Bloody hell. 7 pts 2/8

For a Hall of Famer this drop off is unconscionable. I'd wheel kick and drop kick the next person that compare him to D.Wade

Roland17:
Your boy MAGA Mike is one today for sure!

He's frustrating because if he and Murray are clicking nobody is beating this Nuggets team. Not even your Celtics. Fortunately for the league though those two will always be hit and miss

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

raumdeuter:
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
