As with sports, preferences and all the shalaye punditry wey we do dey here, everything is subjective minus the stats but stats does not always tell the whole story.

No one, can claim to be 100% objective. Anyone claiming so is a liar and we are all guilty of that bar none.

Lakers could have lost game 4 but they pulled it off so kudos to them but remember series is not over yet. I asked the question even before playoff started - Athleticism vs Experience.

So me, I am just here to catch fun and enjoy myself. Ko ju be lo.

Yessir, its all just fun. Abeg folks lets reduce the attacks just a bit Izz too hot in here. Na beg I beg o

Worsestill without his side kick and 2nd punch Murray!

I had expected Hawks to take game 5, because Trae is a spoiler like that. But when I saw Murray out, Im like its over. I am shocked to wake this morning and see Hawks still won! Wao!

I entered the gym like Lebron this morning

A40:
I wouldn't say over. I just have a hard time believing it will go more than 6.

The Lakers are easily the better squad and certain players are punching below their weight while others are punching above it on the Grizzlies

Grizzlies are an energy team. Period.And they are well coached, very few mistakes per game. I think they gassed out in OT, not sure why because they are the younger team.

Roar old man, roar! Cant wait for Skip tomorrow

Impressive to see the adjustments Lakers made to negate the Reaves-Bane matchup.

when lebron takes a charge to stop you from scoring, that is high praise!!

Birdman

Congrats I heard our Akwa Ibom brother has been hired by the Rockets. MeToo yentas like Malika Andrews and other yentas that wanted that man to rot in unemployment have been put to shame. Hopefully he learned his lesson as well. Stick to the script. kitten is never worth the hassle

Learn lesson ke? Babes don dey line up... At least avoid another mans food.

Giannis! How I wan take recover bayi

Interesting night. Two top seeds have to avoid a 3-1 hole on the road.

steady986:
I started off defending him, but at a point I realised it was illogical to defend him

So na shakara you dey do me all this time

Roland17:
@Birdman, e be like your jazz work oh..

Ime Udoka is joining your Rockets!

hahaha yeeaaah. Dem take am go southwest houston, give am isiewu, hot an fresh. baba agree sey its time to come home. Welcome!

Roland17:
@A40 did you see the Garcia v Tank fight. I am not even sure why it was marketed like it would be close because I knew Garcia was all mouth. Man was dropped in Round 2 and waved the white flag by kneeling in the 7th after suffering serious body shots who was just looking to punish him.

Also, your boy Cujedo is on the cards for next month…

Either that or he has some serious punching power. He downs opponents on normal looking shots

Roland17:
Sixers v Nets

Doh!

steady986:
It was a toxic relationship that will take 2 years to heal from.

Duuuude, you were always defending westbrook. You want me to point you to your 100 posts?

chic2pimp:
ANTHONY EDWARDS!

Thank God, no sweeps this playoffs. Even though Minnesota looked like they were trying to get swept

FBS:
imo Lakers efficient and fast start got them past Grizziles in game 3.

And Yes, LeBron is not human. How is he able to play like that at almost 40! How?

Russell also found his mojo.

Can they replicate same in Game 4?

It will be hard to. They won because they jumped on the Grizz early. But its a home game, so maybe they can pull off a close game 4

What a horrible way to lose a game

Roland17:
If only the Nets have some consistent scoring they would have made this a difficult series because they are doing everything right defending Embiid.

Or is he just gassed out? The way he is half stepping about...

Maxey!!!

And congrats to Mike Brown! Well deserved!

A40:
Na wa oh Birdman. So this is the Karl Anthony Towns you were comparing to Chris Webber and Kevin Garnett

He has the skillset. Mindset is another matter

Roland17:
Even me wen pick the Grizzlies to win the series don dey shame for the Lakers after looking at the lineup that just jumped them in game 2

If they jump them multiple times, then yes there is a problem. But one game, nah. E dey happen

A40:
Jamal Murray mehn. The ultimate X-factor

I called it right before the game

A40:
Lmaoo abeg that Draymond suspension is well deserved.

This is not the time to cry about referee. You have thoroughly deserved to lose the first 2 games

commissioner was in attendance, yet the guy man dey jaw back and forth with paying customers. I expected this. And warriors need to be careful. That commissioner can be vengeful. Draymond no understand, but that conduct, right in front of league head, is essentially a slap in the face. And they will try to take their pound of flesh. Best thing Dray can do is lay low.

Heat laying an egg in milwaukee

Grizzlies arent going anywhere without Ja. They had a near perfect game, and it still felt like Lakers were in the mix till the last minute.

Lakers are actually playing really well. Its just that kind of night. Shots just arent falling

steady986:
E be like say we go carry our one win dey go back LA. Because the refereeing has been shocking so far. Shocking. And it doesn't look like it'll change.

I wasnt capping when I said this is a nightmare matchup for the Lakers. Some folks wach for names. Others watch the games themselves. They way the Grizz play, if they are clicking, the Lakers cant stop them. The only hope for this game is to hope the young team relents late 3q, try to cut things to 10 points and see what happens in 4q.

The only other team I fear more in terms of matchup is Denver. If Jamaal Murray plays anything like the last time he was healthy, they coming out in the West. Lebron iced him the last time, but that was 4 years ago. Legoat don turn to papa smurf

A40:
Be like the players still know what time it is

Out of 100 players, 30 chose Lebron. Ol boy, I will take it. A win in my books

donlittle25:
Birdman he be like say Dallas no make playoffs o?

I hear Kyrie aint returning either

O btw roland17, I thought you would like to know we are likely interviewing Ime Udoka this week. If we can land Jaylen and Udoka, safe to say the leprechaun has a second home in htown.

Roland17:
The reaction from the Warriors bench after the Draymond incident was replayed on the jumbotron was one of obvious disgust. When he got to the bench, he could barely get anyone to support him and that entire sequence tells me there may be some serious bullying related issues going on inside the Warriors locker room. Only Andre Iggy kind of engaged him, the look on the faces of the other players just confirmed everything I have suspected.

last year I brought up Steph's leadership style, especially when it concerns issues like Draymond etc. I was shut down, folks thought I was looking for a way to hate on him. But this issue will keep popping up, the best player by far on the team, an all time great, cannot be a backseat leader on a bball club like this. Kerr cant be the only disciplinarian. You need the Draymonds for the spark they give you, but you also need to manage them so the spark does not turn into fire that consumes you. Anyhow, lets see how GSW responds at home
