Solid play from the bench so far.

Kevon Looney with the block

Apart from the inside info he sometimes provides, i couldn't agree more with your point. On a more serious note, it seems the man uses lipsticks. Him lips sometimes they shine.

KarnThornheart:
All this talk about which analyst is whack or not why is it that no one ever talks about this guy and i know hes a well respected "nice guy" but cris carter is a horrible basketball analyst.

Hopefully he gets humbled by that. I have always known he is not yet the alpha he claims to be. Go to the post, he no go go, cry cry baby.

KarnThornheart:
Hes turned himself into a meme. You be a trash talker and then turn into a cry baby when sh-t hits the fan. I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. Maybe this will cure his diarrhea of the mouth.

Hehehehe, at least give them 1 for all their troubles.

KarnThornheart:
Lol! What series? Sweeep!

Sir Carles is more careful with his uttereances now though, he cannot openly pick the Blazers, all he could say is "it's going to be a hell of a series". Hehehehe

"put all your houses on it" Shaq does not think the blazers are a serious danger to GSW.

The Claw The Claw The Claw

Not surprised, this is when they need him.

KarnThornheart:
Kawhi leonard is coooooold!

Sir Charles is never going to admit his prediction was wrong. Did he not consider the possibility of a choke by the rockets before he picked the rockets. He probably understands choking very well, given that he lost to Olajuwon in 1995, after going up 3-1. Just looking forward to the narratives on the various shows on Monday.

Half time, this one is likely going to be down the wire. The sixers are not having it. But what the hell is wrong with Embiid, does he think he is stephen curry now. Drive to the post bro.

That flick by Kawhi

Both teams shooting poorly generally

Honestly, if Embid was healthy, i would prefer a Bucks-Phi matchup.

aliondo:
Y'all doubting the process? ?

I trust Kawhi to deliver this one. He has been there.

Nostradamus:
Go raptors

Well i guess she will get all the attention she craves for now.

Nostradamus:
that one's better.also ayesha take no 30.

Yes they needed it after the terrible failure last season. Even if they lose in the western conference finals, this season has been a successful one.

A40:
McCollum Time. This nigga carried Portland on his back

Jamal Murray using late buckets to try to hide his brickfest! The difference between the likes of Murray and Harden and the likes of the GOAT, KD, LeNomad, Kobe is the fact that they rarely pick the most inopportune time to play their worst game of the series. Dame was pretty lucky to have CJ today but man through 3 quarters he was 3/15 FFS!!

Nice fightback from Portland. Beat OKC, Beat Denver. Happy for the franchise! They could use some good fortune

They will have to split, i bet Mama Curry wears GSW 30. Hehehehe

Nostradamus:
Cj mccollum!!!such an awesome dude.ma respect for this guy just trippled...




GSW vs POR

CURRY vs CURRY


which jersey will the family wear to the game now?

Honestly, Shannon blows hot and cold, he changed his mind, while Chris Broussard was a guest on their show. He usually bends when a better analyst presents a more convincing arguement. He picked GSW in 7, Skip picked the rockets in 7, although the three agreed they won't be surprised if GSW won game 6. But it is safe to say, some analysts have been consistently bad predictors.

Hardetayour:
All the ESPn analysts bar one said the Rockets were going to win Game 6.

I know Nick Wright and Shannon said they would win the series in total. Tell me why Skip hardly supports Shannon's prediction? Because the team he roots for always loses. Just like the Cavs last year and the Rockets this year

No i did not start watching in the last 5 years, i have been watching since Lebron's stint at Miami, although less intensely(only the playoffs),but you are correct if you mean, i have only been watching it intensely in the last 5 years. Nonetheless, not all "analysts" agreed to rockets in 6, although it depends on the people you recognize as analysts. Among many others, Chris Broussard, Stephen A smith were tilting towards the warriors in 7. Virtually is an overstatement.

steady986:
Lol. Virtually every analyst agreed that Rockets would win game 6, does that make them ignorant or less knowledgeable? What's your definition of knowledge sef? This is just you trying too hard to defend yourself. You're still a newbie and there's nothing you can say to change my mind. Benji93 has agreed that he started watching NBA within the past 5 years, do the same bro. There's nothing bad in it.

I am shocked you are minding the guy, with all him "i be elder, you be newbie", the rockets shot 1 more 3 pointer than GSW, maybe that's not significantly better, like his brother Max Kellerman, all his predictions are based on "ifs" not the frequency/probability of successfully executing routine actions."If they shoot significantly better", how often can they do that in a 7 game series.Seriously though, for once, Max Kellerman resorted to probability to prove hte oglden state still had a better chance of winning the series, and it so happens, he was right, the rockets had a low chance of winning games 6 and then 7.

smoosh20:
Nick Wright has spoken so please come and educate us on what happened.. Or did the Warriors just cheat as usual?

How is it a problem, if anyone developed interest in the NBA, a few years ago courtesy of the beautiful game the GSW play? Do you get a trophy for following the NBA for over 20 years?, given this technology age, do you think any interested person cannot find materials about the NBA over the last 20/30 years? What you wan claim that is not available on the internet. Elder ko, Elder ni.

steady986:
All these newbies. When they get a little knowledge about basketball they want to confront their elders. I can swear you started following bball within the last five years, like all GS fans in Nigeria. And I'm not throwing insults or being immature here.

But the intensity of his clutchness was at an all time high tonight,and that is satisfying. Most of the criticism he gets is usually related to the 2016 finals against the Cavs as you rightly pointed out, especially by skip, It seems even the slightest injuries, especially to the hand does significantly affect long range shots. Even a small change in the accuracy of a shot gets the ball hitting the rim more times than it goes in.

Eruditor:
He has always been this clutch. People just overglorify his bad games and downplay his great ones. When everyone spoke about him choking against Cavs, I wondered if people realised he played that series with injuries. Yet same people will tell you if Kyrie did not get hurt in game 1 of 14/15 that GSW would have lost the series. They bring up injuries only when they want to downplay the warriors but never concede that someone can be hurt and it will effect their game.

No be only you, i was watching it on a desktop with multiple tabs open. I muted the live stream once the game began, and in the first 2 quarters , once the rockets took the lead i switched tabs. But somehow in the second half i just had a feeling Curry would show up, especially given the game was tied with 0 points from curry in the first half.

Eruditor:
Me I was watching..when it is too close I would turn off the TV..then come back..turn off the TV etc

LOL. My heart was racing.

He sure dissapeared painfully, but we can forgive his inabilities, for being clutch. He has never been this clutch in the crunch moments. There is no better way to change the narrative than clutchness.

KarnThornheart:
Just like that we forget wardell went missing for a few games.

Sincerely, i was pained when GSW lost to the Cavs in 2016, i wanted another series, hoping green could keep his emotions under check, then comes KD. How can you beat that,the guy's got height and wingspan, gradually relegated SC3 to the second option. I don't exactly like KD here, he stagnates everything. I probably agree with your emphasis on leveling the playing field.

KarnThornheart:
All i want. But on the contrary i dont want curry to fail, i want him to go back to carrying his own team like he did so splendidly the year he won the unanimous mvp. He went from that to not being the best player on his own team. I want a more even league with the OG warriors, maybe a knick resurgence with kyrie and KD, the sixers doing their thing, raptors too. Denver coming into their own, watch out for the phoenix suns, yes the suns. And what about the lake show with lebron and kemba walker? Giannis and the bucks are looking scary, the celtics got AD? How swell!


Not this circus show where we all know how the story is going to end.

Hahahaha, they all want to see Curry fail without KD, moreso they would like this dynasty broken.

smoosh20:
Who died? It's so quiet in here.

MemberClub, i told you they might require Olajuwon at the center, dracaris on the left, Jay Z and beyonce to win this one.

Incredibly happy

CuteRedd:
33 points in the second half
I want to hear that yeye Chuck’s comment now “The warriors can’t win the series without kd”

Big up to the bench they showed up mehn!!!!
Now we can put to rest the rockets were without Chris Paul We were without Kd, cousins and “no bench” according to everyone.

So happy
@ Eruditor & Smooshchn

If you can't see it, then you can't see anything. They might need the superpower of Olajuwon, Jay Z, beyonce on this one. Oh i forgot, they might need the dragon queen too.

Memberclub:
What a game. I don't see gsw wining this though.

Curry has not even made a single field goal and the game is tied. Incredible contribution from the bench

It's alright,the outcome of this series wasn't really surprising, we just thought it might last a little longer. Cheer up, as much as we wanted it, Kyrie is the square peg trying to fit in a round hole(despite being a superstar). Kyrie out.

Roland17:
My enemy I wailed last night and I know it must have given great joy to see me humiliated in Milwaukee.

How are you preparing for another season of tanking? including the summer league?

At least, I have one less team to worry about during the active season and I can no watch the rest of the postseason without any expectation.
