greypencils: Bball gods dont lie. This team doesnt even deserve to be in the playoffs. Denver is exposing the truth |

Honlucas: They are not the problem. KCP was on this lakers squad, and nothing came of it. This is a leadership problem, lack of mental toughness |

larride: The end of the coach for sure. Even if they win. That dumbo move to slow down the clock and let nuggets defense get set every possession in the 3rd q needs to be punished Lebron was cool with it too cuz it let him rest |

A40: Durant said offense is what wins championships, not defense. When he was challenged, he claimed he knew better. I expect Suns to try to out magic twolves in game 3 again. Anyhow its too late to learn how to play team defense, if all season long you believed offense would always give you the edge. Might as well go down with what you believe 1 Like 1 Share |

Lebron's reponse was very disappointing. Yeah, I understand covering up for coach's crappy rotations, but trying to blame this on officiating is not goat behavior. And those close to him, if they love him need to pull him aside. Maybe like a Magic who has nothing to gain and can speak freely without worrying about consequences. Because if Lakers get swept by the Nuggets, Lebron's reputation as Goat material will be severely damaged. A goat candidate is not just a dog in a game, he must be able to inspire his teammates into becoming dogs in at least one game, regardless of coaching, and they should be able to punch a superior opponent in the mouth at least once. At least once! And there are no crutches like injuries to use this time, even if AD decides to "manufacture" some leg injury in game 3, this team is still stacked enough. If not, it would have been better for Lakers to have never made this playoffs. 1 Like |

greypencils: CP3 got traded to htown like 2017? OKC has been in a rebuild for at least 5 or 6 seasons. I would have to googles to see how long but they tanked shamelessly when they needed to, and stacked that team with young guns. |

aliondo: Thats why I did not want Lakers or Warriors to play you guys or the Wolves. They might use playoffs bright lights to beat you guys. As it is, your first round matchup should steady yall. I want to see SGA and Edwards make some noise this year. By the same token, I am very satisified to see Lakers run into Nuggets in round 1 Either they deserve to be in the playoffs or just go home and get some icyhot 1 Like 1 Share |

All those regular season ooh ahhs of Kyries game. Err'body silent now AD, we dey watch your moves tonight. You should be shouldering this load instead of allowing papa smurf to gas out after 3 quarters. Otherwise this is your last year in lalaland |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 11:56am On Apr 21 |
A40: I know what I saw. If AD steps up they can win this. Tge reason Lebron gassed out early is because AD was passive in the screens he would set for Lebron, and kept deferring to Lebron to take over. This happened all first half. There is no way kcp, mpj and former mr chicago have better firepower than lakers cast! |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:05am On Apr 21 |
I fully understand AD now. Even why he has yoyo games. He doesnt want that smoke, and has never wanted it. He wants to play in rhythm, and will never really go get the points. Case in point, tonight. If you look at the box score, great. But if you watched him all game, guy man was coasting. He could easily have ended up with 13 pts or 43pts |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:02am On Apr 21 |
A40: Anybody can be cold blooded when up by 10. This was not a convincing win imo. Lakets lost that mental edge in the 3rd as Lebron gassed out and chucked that parking lot 3. |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:00am On Apr 21 |
Honlucas: Not really. You cant just look at the box score. On paper AD did well. In actual fact he was very tentative and many of those shots by Russell should not have happened |

steady986: Yes the league is softer and its easier to score. But Lebron is much older and his game has slowed a lot. That he can still impact the game like this, guy man takes care of his body. Even D1 athletes have trouble with the NBAs pace. Crazy |

steady986: There is more to rings than talent. Where has Kyries talent gotten him since that ring? The only two in that list that have any hope is Steph and Bron because of their mindset to the game. Unfortunately they dont have the right supporting cast. KD has exposed himself, he just wants to be a gunner, nothing more. Likewise Dame and Harden. Kawhi, for all the skill in this world is criminally under-motivated. Jimmy is a Larry Brown/JVG type player, maximizing his few talents but falling short in the end. PG could have used some mentorship from Kobe. His game is nice, but it has never taken that next step. Home boy is content. |

A40: Lol, actually I need to stop explaining money to you guys. Lezz move on, ice cube is a business genius! this move has cemented his business good vibes for another year! yaaaaay! |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:01am On Apr 14 |
A40: Exactly! Now you get it! By himself giannis brother is not a smart financial move. But as tag along to his brother, it is. You have to think through your move, not just on immediate dollars and cents. So now, back to ice cube. Follow me now. Caitlin likely will not play for Cube anyhow. So net net, do you think this whole episode is a positive for cube or a negative? Ahan, now you gerrit. |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 12:18am On Apr 14 |
steady986: You are feeling very confident o. Normally I should feel confident with Lebron playing very good basketball right now and healthy. But as you know, this thing comes down to AD. And you know how your boy be Another part of me feels like the old school teams should just be cut off, let the youngns ball. This could be the coming out party for some young talent |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 12:13am On Apr 14 |
greypencils: Thank you for this example. He is taking a roster spot that could have helped the bench come playoffs. But he is more useful in a way that is not monetary. Shey you get now. Business at the end is about money, but the road to the money requires wisdom, including doing giveaways. Cube should have mechonu. Take example from other sports moguls, no be everything you go chook mouth inside |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 7:09pm On Apr 13 |
greypencils: Sorry boss, but this is not really true in any business. Some people get hired for talent, others get hired to keep things smooth. You think Giannis brother was hired by Bucks based on his skills? Even where you work, Im sure you know folks like this lol. This is the nature of things, and good businessmen know to stay out of these type of controversies. Notice how no other black mogul touched this matter with care, focusing on S Carolina coach instead. |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 7:05pm On Apr 13 |
Roland17: Im not claiming that he isnt. Me personally, I dont have any issues with him. But all decisions are not purely financial. There is always history and recency bias in these things. Any good businessman knows this. Forbes 500 companies spend billions on goodwill all the time, even accountants recognize it can have cash value on a balance sheet. For Cube to jump into the fray this way was not smart imo. Just because it makes you money doesnt mean its good business. He should have stayed faaaar away from this |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:41am On Apr 13 |
A40: Well, when cube was a nobody, they were the ones watching his movies and listening to his music until he became big enough to do his own thing. It would be like Davido or Wizkid getting this big and thinking they can stop catering to the nigerian base. Las las it wont end well. I think guys like Cube should learn lessons from dem Denzel, etc the older generation. Everything is not simply about the dollars |
