lol. Big loss, but everyone was kinda ready - he was suddenly scarce on TV for someone who was really liked, and that usually means some sort of health battle

I thought he had retired. Anyway life is a mystery like that jare. Shey na Jimmy Carter wan knack 100 so, people like Don King, Quincy Jones don knack 90

Hell Hubie Brown is 90plus still running commentary

It's all a lottery in the end

They didn't score a single point the last 3:33

This Pacers team has to be the worst late execution team I've seen yet. All their brains just seem to freeze those last 2 minutes and it's like they've never seen a basketball before

They either inbound poorly or take the worst available shot

Anyway fortunately this hopelessly overmatched team can go and rest. Had no business making even the conference Finals anyway. Bucks ineptitude and injuries to the Heat is to blame

Khanben:
If the Nuggets has a playable big, someone who can legit play 20minutes a game. I sincerely think they beat the Timberwolves.

Styles make fights. The Timberwolves got carried away thinking they were the whole enchilada. I blame the TV pundits too for drinking the kool Aid. Every last one of them apart from Nick Wright

In the Timberwolves head they probably thought Mavs would be the easier matchup. They didn't know that Mavericks strengths doesn't lie in their bigs so you can't team up on just one player

Most of the games now they don't know when to play Rudy and KAT and where to bench them. Now there's talk of should Naz Reid and Anderson play more instead. They are in complete shambles

Roland17:
Yea. Man was always smiling and always had great stories whenever he was on TV.

I actually found him funny cos he was a very unconventional guy.

The tshirts and he looked like a stoner you could party with at Woodstock 99 or something. Watched his documentary. Pretty eccentric character

Lively out but they get Kleber back possibly. Completely forgot about him sef

One team has Lively, Gafford, Kleber, and the foolish Nuggets GM could not get a playable big that could just give Jokic 10 Minutes rest

Nico Harrison doesn't get enough credit for turning that team around in two seasons. Only mistake was getting Grant Williams and inside half a season he quickly corrected the mistake. Swapped Finney Smith and Dinwiddie for fvckin Kyrie Irving

Got PJ Washington for second rounders

Roland17:
Sad day for the game and the Boston Celtics.

He'd been battling cancer for a bit

chic2pimp:
Fcukkkkk Damnnn! No way has it been that long. Almost 15 years now. Chicago sports fan through and through. Derrick Rose's number 1 fan boy . I keep forgetting He wasn't alive to see His boy become the League's youngest ever MVP

Randomness of life. We were quite young then and he was even younger. Life no balance

BlueRayDick:
The way a lot of APC supporters and apologists insulted David Hudeyin when he was calling out the Nigeria Air fraud ehn…..Now everybody eyes don clear .

At least now we know APC government siphoned billions of Naira all in the name of a national carrier that never saw the light of the day even under another APC led government .

It's like Watching Animal Farm play out in real life.

No way anybody with working brain thought Nigeria Air was a project that would see the light of day. They didn't even have the intelligence to fake it in a proper way.

The fact that Sirika is still a free man is proof Nigeria ngmi

BlueRayDick:
After the hullabaloo about Nigeria Air.....smh

https://www.nairaland.com/8106094/fg-suspends-nigeria-air-project

Some couple of billions down the drain

That is how they will suspend their 419 Coastal road as well

Roland17:
Aje!

@A40 does a great job at remembering him every year.

Keep resting Busayo!

Still saddest shit I remember man. Was mates with his older brother so in a way na like younger brother.

Been what almost 14 years. Damn

R.I.P Bill Walton the O.G hippie

Khanben:
Powell is not a playoff rotation player.at all. He his one of those players who you give a roster spot because of the 82 game regular season schedule. Giving him playoffs minutes especially since his
Achilles injury is just a disaster waiting to happen

He's one of those guys that makes you downplay the difficulty level of being in the NBA. Obviously I know better but still I look at guys like Matthias Lessort for Euroleague and I'm like surely that guy can do better than Powell.

Injury to Lively left them no choice. I hope Lively would somehow be able to make it for Game 4. With Boston likely sweeping the Pacers Mavs really need to match them sweep for sweep.

Finals start on the 6th no matter what. So a 9 day rest would work wonders for them

larride:
Nuggets were missing easy layups and simple shots. If MPJ just play as half as the lakers series, Wolves will be watching the wcf at home.

I told anyone who cared to listen. They were just missing wide open shots. Nothing to do with their defense.

Now they've run into better shot makers and are facing sweep

Towns 0/7 from 3

BlueMann:
Credit to Gafford, he's been huge on defense. Another huge play there

And Gafford throws down a monster dunk! And 1!!!

Turned the corner for sure.

That block on KAT electrified him

Nuggets with their bullshit made this Timberwolves team look better than they really were.

Thunder will fire that their stupid GM. All Jokic needed was a decent big to reduce the workload

When you have Kyrie and Luka in the 4th. Ohh the luxury

Kyrie has turned to Ben Wallace at the free throw line. Crazy stuff

These free throw misses gonna bite the Mavs

Lively injury might be the turning point of this game

Powell is a terrible finisher at the rim and even more useless on defense.

Now Minny has crawled their way back

BlueMann:
Gafford not smart at all. Very unnecessary foul right at the end which gives the Wolves the chance to reduce the lead, and increases his own foul count, which is even more detrimental with Lively out.

There's a clear difference between Lively and him.

I don dey hype the guy previously. Omo e no sabi anything.

The difference too clear between him and Lively

This Timberwolves team dey play rugby. Mavericks better make this series as short as possible. You don't want a long slugfest with these raggamuffins

Why was McDermott running to the opposite side? He wouldn't even have enough time to catch and shoot

What was the plan if any? Nesmith is the worst 3pt shooter on the court. This was just Pacers playing to lose

Game over

Pacers rubbish defense will ultimately be their downfall. They're going to blow this aren't they?

Pacers offense when it's clicking is a thing of beauty tbh

Nembhardt. Wowzers

Celtics walking them down

Khanben:
That guys play is somehow weird. He is unbelievably athletic one minute, and the next minute, he looks like the stereotype of uncoordinated tall people

All he has is his athleticism. No ball IQ or feel for the game

This thing Pacers is playing is definitely not basketball

Why's Obi Toppin so damn clumsy? Did he smoke cannabis before entering the court

larride:
I have no hope on this Pacers, they always introduce me to a lifestyle they cant maintain.

Them go still lose this game.

Pacers game to lose. All they have to do is keep attacking the paint. Celtics have no one that can deter them. Leave 3pt spamming for Celtics
