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? grin

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

Of course. Brooks na journeyman. I assure you the guy cannot learn anything new grin 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

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

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

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 grin 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

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

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

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 grin

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

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
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:55am On Apr 27, 2025
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

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 grin

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

Yup, ESPN decided to move on from him but out of respect allowed him to present it like he is the one choosing to move on. Now ESPN has moved on from him, he most likely will not get that $100M contract for his podcast and may lose the case. I expect more women to start coming out...Make baba just file for bankruptcy at this point.

One thing this incident has exposed, at least to me, is that UnC isn't exactly as sharp (pun intended) and smart or to the level I previously accorded him. He has made several rookie errors in managing this situation.

This is the same guy who few months ago livestreamed a sex session involving a different woman on IG and claimed he was hacked. Before he joined ESPN, FOX settled a female employee because of this same cat. Playing the race card was a weak and ill advised move which made things worse. Also, offering $10M early on to silence her was the wrong move, especially considering the timing. He panicked because of the $100M podcast contract he was about to sign.

He should have addressed the issue head on with confidence. From text messages, he released, it reads like this is truly a shakeup as their interactions were consensual, until I see otherwise. He should have dared her to go to court, especially if his evidence supports his claim. See what the GOAT Jigga did with Buzbee when he dared the same thing. After the court dismissed the case, Jigga sued Buzbee for defamation because he was 1000% sure he was innocent.

Buzbee is notorious for cases like these but it looks like he would get paid this time around. I don't know what is wrong with these guys. You have all the money in the world but na OF chick wen price 25K per cheek you decide to mess with? Man was thinking with his tool until she wanted to have his child and baba decline.

Men, I take God beg una, stop thinking with your tool.
He seems like someone that experiences some roid rage. When you factor his NFL career taking and dishing those hits and the fact that he's still pretty yoked some of it makes me wonder if this behavior is not tied to that.

He's had a restraining order at CBS. And there's murmurs he also had issues at Fox. Remember the Grizzlies game too wey e wan enter court fight.

I don't think it's about just age but the fact that he generally has issues managing emotions. I have no doubt in my mind he was setup but he also needs to do a better job of spotting drama for what it is and exiting.

As I dey so I no dey even deal with woman if her voice too loud. Make onlookers or neighbors no think say we dey fight

I don't know why him no fit enter Latin America,find women for there wey fit no know am sef. Keith Sweat wey dey beg women for 90s don run go Colombia turn passport bro grin

The truth is old woman, young woman, black or white they all want your money. Any man wey no find wife before he blow is already 2 goals down

Xavier Worthy, Travis Rudolph, Young Scooter (died) all dealt with their mate and saw shege some even lost their lives. Andre Rison, Left Eye burn him full house. So it's not about age or race it's about understanding and seeing Jezebel and Delilah behavior and running away quickly

Unc made a lot of rookie mistakes especially when you consider his level of exposure and experience. It was only recently that he streamed a live session on instagram while claiming it was a hack.

Sharpe released text messages between both as evidence and it shows it was consensual to a large extent. Now, I am unsure what she has that will prove otherwise.

I expected an OG like Unc to be smarter in managing interactions like these. She wanted a child with him and I don’t think Unc was interested in that.
E dey move like small pikin. That IG stream was when I knew the man no too get sense like that. Na real typical country dumdum but fortunately athletic talent and elite work ethic took him far.

OF girls as a rich and famous man should be a complete no-no. Today's heauxs are not even in the game for money anymore now they're just in it for clout.

The age gap is problematic but it's not like a professor/student thing. This one is a sex worker so all bets are off

That's an average looking white babe. You mean he can't enter plane to Venezuela or Colombia and get prettier and more affordable baddies with no risks. Smh

Baba say everything was consensual but he offered to drop $10M very early, which was the wrong move because he panicked. They refused and are now asking for 50M, knowing Unc is about to sign around $100M contract for his podcast deal. Anytime I see Tony Buzbee, I am sorry, I dey get 2nd thoughts.
Blackmail 101. Never settle. Especially when you know your hands are clean. Even if you're guilty still don't offer any money. Better you're casted than to lose money and still be casted

Someone needs to tell N. Harrison to shut the hell up because he is making things worse every time he speaks. What the hell! What do you mean by you did not now know how much the fan base love Luka.
Ownership is clearly on board with the moves which explains why he's not been fired yet. Boycotting their games next season is the only way fans can truly express their disgust. Cos if they think that team is going to be any kind of threat anytime soon they are sadly mistaken.

Banking on Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving availability deep into their 30s is what I found so stupid about this trade

This guy is the most inefficient point guard I've ever seen but somehow has a a green light. He doesn't have a floater, a middy, nothing. Can't penetrate the defense, He just spams 12 3s a night and hopes for the best. He represents why I slander this era so much

But omo he's nothing like Luka. He never showed up in the post season like him

You putting T-Mac over Luka means you're essentially calling this era of ball trash. Which I sometimes agree with but still won't put T-Mac near Luka
