This list is longer than craigslist i swear. Joakim Noah and the Bulls probably comes first and the Warriors, that lead still hurts them badly.

Then
Rasheed wallace with the pistons
Paul Pierce and Garnett with the celtics
Pacers when they had Hibbert, lance steph and p george

And thats teams o. The number of folks with personal beef is another level. Its amazing how many teams were top 3 when lbj started and are now retired.

SmooshCHN1:
We no fit talk true because you love a player, OK continue.. I hope the Celtics will be impressive against the Cavs.. The Eastern Conference dey always tire person with LeBron just riding the wave peacefully.

Peacefully how. Name one player in the nba who has faced more determined and persistent foes and crazy teams in the last ten years.

Im waiting....no go mention curry o

Or make I begin list players and teams wey mean lbj like sey he dey owe money

I just realized isaiah is 5'9. I gotta drop much respect....ma nigga

My goodness. Draymond and durant subbing on the same team. And some cats were complaining when lbj said he needed help. Warriors are the most loaded team in the league.

Donlittle:
3 minutes to go in the fourth, i turned off the TV because i thought it was over. How did hell did these heathens lose?

Crazy as it sounds these guys dont want the intensity of the playoffs. Bout this time they usually are on summer vacay. Wizards are done......soft @ss *lord forgive me* ...like ultra soft charmin

Finally, utah a team with some passion

Man how did Wall regress to this. He barely crosses half court at 16s left in the shot clock EVERY TIME. This guys body langiage is bad

^Dont matter smoosh. Wizards are a lazy and weak willed team. If celtics push, they will give up the next 2 home games too. These guys are not mentally ready for a long playoffs run - they got out of the first round, so mission accomplished. They have already checked out.

Oh, and John Wall is lazy

sapiosexual1:
Yes game 2 is very critical. I expect Rockets to go for small ball or pick and roll cos Spurs would be looking to lock down the perimeter.
Anyhow sha, this is going to be one very interesting series.

I thought that too at first. But is Harden more dangerous at the 3pt or in the paint? Same with Gordon, Beverly, LouWilliams. All these guys get hot from 3, but they will damage you in the paint guaranteed.

Im going to guess Popovich stays stubborn and sticks to his philosophy of protecting the paint. Now, they will show and try to defend a little more at the 3, but they will not show hard and risk penetration in the paint. Harden is already an expert in this, no need to encourage those dribbles to the paint

If spurs go down, they will go down with their game plan.
Rockets will have to repeat this hot shooting 3 more times. And I believe this will be dantonis game plan. Run the system until spurs show you they can stop it

I do not want to be a spurs player going in to half time. Popovich go cane pesin tonite

Law of averages suggests 3s wont fall so easy for rockets all game. This will give spurs more defensive rebounds so they can run down the court before rockets defense sets.

Still, spurs have to keep lead under 20 before half otherwise lead will be too big anyhow

Eruditor:
Who did Stephen A Smith say will win it all this year? I pray not my Warriors. He gets all his predictions wrong including this Clippers vs Jazz game.

Jazz are a good team and I am looking forward to how they make my boys step up. If they can beat us 4 times, then they deserve to get to the WCF against Spurs/Rockets.

Jazz coaching and rotation is impressive. Indeed, a very good test for the warriors. Still looks like a 4-1 beating though

I see why its so hard to judge talent. It is amazing to see how mentally tough gordon hayward has gotten. You just cant measure heart

Time to retool the clippers. I hope cp3 heads somewhere...lots of talented young teams that need a floor general. Instead of playing with mr glass that has been injured like 3 playoffs in a row

Cant bring myself to support clips in this game. Jazz is better coached and they want this game more, simple and short

Warriors, take note

SmooshCHN1:

Chai!! Another sweep loading.. Utah has what it takes but I want Clippers to qualify so bad

Utah's slow pace is a threat for us.

Chris Paul better win game 7

Lol...warrior fans are yam heads...ur judgement is coming

Clips live to fight another day!

A40:
And all my boxing niggas. Joshua x Klitschko. Who ya got?

After wetin klitcshko do my man samuel peter? Na joshua na.

Joshua got quicker hands but klitschko has more knockout power. I think thats why Joshua is weighing in 10lbs more...im betting its all muscle so he can put more firepower behind his quick shots

SIRcumalot:
remember that saying about the enemy you know.

Una too like to dey fear pesin for hia

SIRcumalot:
i suspect part of the reason why the cavs blew those last games to lose the first seed is to avoid this wizards team.

I think it was to avoid chicago possibly. With rondo, this team could have taken the celtics to 7, maybe win in 6. I dont think LBJ wanted to expend that kind of energy on a team that his paddy Wade was playing on too.

So I dont think they tried to lose those games, they just didnt see any reason to play hard for #1. Remember raptors took cavs to game 6 or 7 last year. wizards havent made any real headway in the playoffs, so wizards would be a better pick than raptors. in spite of how raptors have performed in first round, Raptors are a bigger threat - they know the cavs better, and they went and acquired talent specifically to match cavs (Ibaka)

chicago jus talk sey dem no dey do again

see flogging choi!

Decale:
Why are we on Westbrook's case?

I no know ooo A40 is refusing to repent of his MVP pick in spite of the obvious Of course the loss is not all on westbrook, but he is the primary PG. Anyone with unbiased eyes can see Oladipo was never really comfortable. those are issues coach and westbrook should have worked out during regular season.

Raptors, pls go see a reputable babalawo. Village tinz

SmooshCHN1:
Nuff Said

Part 2 is here guys

Rio don comot league? Wao

Anyways sha make we leave wb alone.


How about them raptors. Can they put away the bucks for good? Awon cavs dey wait ooooo

SmooshCHN1:
OKC is out. Blame no one, not even the so called scrubs he played with. They weren't even a team before playoffs as uncle always went for stats and not even looking if his team grew. They mumu teammates were hailing him as MVP when he kept playing alone and didn't feed them all season long. I'm shocked none of them complained about not getting touches all season long. I expected this during playoffs and I'm glad I wasn't wrong. The Donovan guy is useless. I'm sure you can't go 2/21 under Pop or Kerr half season and don't get traded or developed.
KD left and the best the franchise could do to distract themselves from pain was to make a new hero, give him more money and keep riding the TDs and MVP candidate and the Celebrity Westbrook is doing a good job playing the role. Great Story if he gets MVP. And that's enough for their fans and franchise.
Here is what separates LeBron, MJ even Olajuwan from Westbrook. They won't let you put up horrible performances like that. You'll workout with them till day break and get assigned to a trainer or better still get traded. But fúck no. As long as I'm playing great I've done my part.


The franchise isn't ready. Harden and KD knew this.

You got a point there. If wb cared more about team than stats, he would have called out folks long ago. Its almost like he gets his triple dubs and hes good, even if the rest of the team sucks

A40:
Oladipo is largely a slasher. I would liken him offensively to a poor man's D.Wade, however he has never really been a consistent scorer. He had a 50pt game but that was about it. He can't do what Giannis for example is doing with the Bucks. Oladipo is not your #2 guy on any team that wants to contend for a chip whether he leaves OKC or not it makes no difference. What sticks to me is that Oladipo had 43 shots in 3 road games and only made 9. That is ABYSMAL

Westbrook hustling for TD does not explain why a small forward is shooting 2/21 from the free throw line. Why your most skilled big can't defend the Pick n Roll and why Oladipo is shooting 4/17 in an elimination game. Even if they take out Westbrook and insert LeBron, vs same Houston or teams with similar depths and strengths they will not pass that first round. Quote me anywhere

My point is this: oladipo is 9 of 43 because majority of those shots were not in rhythm. Having a one man show and everyone else running up and down the court with no shot attempts is a great way to ice your own team.

I will go even further and say the big men didnt put 100% into this series.Its psychological..you play to the level of your reward. If your pg wont feed you on the offensive end, even your defense suffers.

I hope wb repents after this season, but I doubt it. All the sportswriters who mistakenly voted him as mvp are busy trying to justify their error. And few reporters are saying the truth the not so young man needs to hear

Eruditor:
Your teammates help you play defence. You get a rebound, pound your best friend (the spalding) upcourt and launch what may have been a vacuous 3 from 4ft beyond the arc. You are in rhythm so it swooshes. You beat your chest and yell no one can guard you.

This system of play happens for the next 3 or 4 possessions which places your team 6-12 points ahead of the opposing team. Your coach notices fatigue might creep in so he rests you for the last 5mins of the quarter. Your teammates begin the same system again: play defence, sometimes force a TO and then head upcourt but they no longer have you to attempt your athletic and incredible plays. They move the ball laterally and vertically till they find what should be an open man. He is off rhythm (because he has barely shot all game) so he clangs the rim and the opposing team rush out on a fastbreak or something, and they may or may not make a play that results in a bucket. One thing that works for them, however, is that they are almost guaranteed your teammates will make nothing of their own possession and before you know it, the 6-12point lead you garnered for your team, fritters away.

Everyone blames your teammates for letting you down - it is the easiest analysis to make. Nobody realises how low-heat they have been all game, helping you play defense but not joining in the offence.

Some are recommending you go elsewhere. God forbid! Which team needs your delicious poison? The one where you are +15 when playing and your team becomes -44 when you are off (but people are oblivious to the fact that when you were +15 your team was still losing on the scoreboard).

You are an enigma, but your brand of heroics will leave the city decimated and in disrepair. You will give us water when we are thirsty and still drown us by overgiving us the same water. You will tell the media you believe in us, but you would play like you don't. Look at the last 4, 4th quarters of the games you played. Racked up assists from quarters 1 through 3 only to have almost none in other consecutive 4th quarters.

Your supporters say you are Mr clutch. I have to believe them now considering your career high 4/18, 2/11 and so on 4th quarters in this series. You were really clutching on, to prove that people will overlook your many flaws if you can pretend the only reason you have them, is because you were trying to help.

Very well put. Pretty much summed up my feelings on this. Westbrook is fools gold.

Why is horford beating his chest biko

A40:
Games 1, 2 and 5 Oladipo was 9/43. I'm crying fam

Oladipo is a scorer. And he needs touches to get going. He just never looked comfortable all series. If theres a way to escape okc, i would. I now see Durants point of view. Westbrook will triple double for the next 3 seasons and never leave the first round

Decale:
I'm sure you know that's sarcasm

I figured that out later. But the strokes were preordained, so

I would love to see cp3 back in NO. But I think he has that loyalty thing going on and will likely stay with the clips. Plus fam probably prefers LA

To roland17s question, any pg averaging 8+ assists and can drop 25 points nightly will do. Dont even look at cp3...lillard will do. I will even give marco rubio side eye.

With adams and kanter and serviceble shooters, this team should have done more damage. The way they lost leads in this series was crazy. Slashers and specialists like Oladipo never got into a rhythm because it was a one man show.

Decale:
Sapiosexual1 and Donlittle, this is the almighty Thunder Roster.

Lou Williams has no chance against Alex Abrines
Oladipo will desecrate Eric Gordon
When Patrick Beverly sees Semaj Christon, he shivers
I'm not even going to talk on how McDermott, Singler and Roberson will pepper Ariza and Ryan Anderson
I pity Nene on the boards, what Adams will do to him ehn

All Star gang
