Dont you mean... EmBRICK?

Hit a man while he is crying

Embiid is only 25. This is a life lesson like his coach said. I know he wishes he could have asserted himself more this series. All the im too ill to play complaints....
I hope he grows from this. And gets more humble.

what a way to lose see as embiid weak

ok im feeling bad for embiid sorta. but too much mouth

Portland wanted this more than Denver. Maybe because they've been trying for years. Denver just didnt want it bad enough. They were late to many 50-50 balls. And Jokic had too many mental mistakes.

The Lakers dodged a bullet by not signing Tyron lie. They just don't know it yet.

Relieved for them

I agree. I have no idea why hes so high on the list. His performance without Lebron is abysmal.

A40:
And between me and you Daryl Morey is an overrated GM low-key

No such thing. Either you are a good GM or not. You cant judge the GM based on decisions made by a coach. Morey has been good. He knows how to make deals and get the right pieces. But his handicap is over reliance on analytics. No matter what your formula says, Melo was not a fit on this team. Ariza should still be here. And we needed some toughness down low, but toughness is not in the analytics formula

Baba God, I no wan join roland17 for bench

A40:
Lol I don't know what has to happen for the Lakers to realize that players are no longer falling over themselves to play for the Lakers.

The idea that they are this dream Free Agent destination is a strong form of delusion. LeNomad joining them kinda reinforced this delusion and in a way I kinda feel bad for LeNomad, he must be low-key regretting why he didn't just go to the Clippers with Steve Ballmer and his bottomless pockets

Yup. Big mistake. In hindsight, Clippers was the place to be or Philly even. This is a tough lesson to learn for Bron. He could never have believed Magic could pull this kind of stunt. Gotta separate personalities from business. Otherwise they smile in your face and rob you blind.

But, adversity that doesnt kill you makes you stronger. With some wisdom, this can work out for good

Roland17:
The entire Lakers organization is totally dysfunctional and in shambles at this point. I don't know how this franchise will convince another superstar to join the Lakers going forward. At this stage, there is no head coach, no president of basketball operations, no idea what they are doing with trades that are inevitable?

Everyone is treating Jeanie Buss with kid gloves. But its obvious she has no business running the lakers. The leaks, infighting, inability to control narratives is ridiculous. And I have lost most of the respect I had for Magic. He had me fooled

Roland17:
Birdman I dey see as you don turn mortar on top the "slim reaper" matter. I just hope it is not what I am thinking and he comes back.

no o. abeg i no even watch game. after eruditor prophecy, i gentle small

Eruditor:
Leg strength and propelling upper body core abi wetin be that grammar baba birdman give us that time?

I laugh in spanish.

awon enemies u know what? next time u play bball, try what you see Harden doing. Tape your ankles and back before you do!

Roland17:
Shout to M. Morris and J. Brown for playing their hearts out throughout this series. I could care less about others and that includes Kyrie, I hope there an overhaul of this roster. This has to be the worst playoffs series I have watched in a very very very long time as a Celtic. A pathetic and shameful performance and Brad should take a lot of the blame for failing to make adjustments early into this series.
#greenrunsdeep

I feel like the celtics expended so much negative emotional energyduring the season, they really dont have enough energy to muster a fight.

I know yall want to call Kyrie out, and yeah, I agree he deserves major blame. But what of all your role players that spent all season yapping about how they didnt need Kyrie to reach ECF?

I think your team is young, and they bought into thr media circus of evil guys like SAS and Jalen Rose. This is a terrible way for a team with so much promise to go out!

darkelf:
Bit seriously, what's the essence of their discussion.
...
Sorry for the long writeup guys. Curry has always been my duse and u started supporting GSW because of him but his wife fall my hand big time today. Kai

its not that serious once you realize how young Ayeesha and Curry are. Women naturally like to talk. Young women are worse because they havent learnt some hard lessons. That show was a setup, with older, wiser women trying to bait a young and inexperienced woman into saying something scandalous.

This is where an older NBA couple could have counseled these guys on handling fame. Just because you are a woman discussing with other women doest mean you are safe in their midst. Women make great frenemies!!

I really hope someone teaches them. But you know how the twitter generation is...they know everything, feel entitled to everything and have to relearn some hard lessons

Eruditor:
Lady and gentlemen,

Here is James Harden shooting a 3 when no one is guarding him.

Now compare it to the rubbish he does when guarded to see if that landing spot rubbish actually is followed.

jus say your liver don cut for tonites game. warris all dis

SmooshCHN:
This literally makes absolutely no sense. She should live her life according to LeBron's wife's because Ersan in Kaduna thinks it's what is universally accepted as desirable? Come on, even slaves don't live like that. You can do that if it works for you. I don't hear Steph complaining to you. This would be hard to grasp but start getting used to it.

Khanben:
KD has always been an efficient scorer even during his OKC days. Kawhi is great but is not a better scorer, for one thing KD is a better shooter. In terms of who is better overall, IMO there is no clear cut answer and both are in the same bracket

In the same bracket as far as scoring efficiency? Yes. As far as best players in the league, Kawhi is one level above. He understands and affects the game in the same way Magic or Lebron does.

For example, most games Kawhi scores like 20pts/9rebs, but his effect on the game makes you think he has 40. If KD scores that, it looks like he was lowkey all game..

Khanben:
KD can get buckets from any number of ways ever invented. In the low post, at the rim, from mid range, from 3 point range. All of these options for KD offer shots he can not only make efficiently but are also shots he is extremely comfortable taking. Other great scores like Wilt, KAJ, Bird, Malone, Kobe and even MJ(who IMO is the greatest scorer ever) had 1 or 2 options they were not either comfortable with or could never be efficient at. Wilt, KAJ, Malone never were even average shooters, Bird couldn't play above the rim that well cause he lacked elite athleticism, Kobe was never an efficient shot selector and MJ is just not the pure shooter KD is. Maybe it's all a function of all his basketball influences but KD has nearly every shot in the book.

Small problem with your analysis. KD is on a team with the best shooter in nba history, best shooting backcourt in nba history, and two time nba champs.

All this means you cant load up on him like you can on other stars. For example Kawhi has seen triple teams even, and still scores. To even double team Durant is wahala. Best you can do is help defense.

Now consider Kawhi...proven playoffs MVP on multiple teams. No ring, but imagine if he was on Warriors instead. Or Kobe .

Lets be realistic please.

philly imploding right before the half. these guys are in a mental black hole

I have no idea why warrior nation is panicking. If warriors had imposed their will, this would be a sweep.

Warriors made a mental mistake thinking they can turn it on in the 4th and win. Yes, they turned it on and went on a run. But Houston looooves to run and shoot too. You dont want to play with guys who want to shoot 3s all day...they may get red hot and blow you out.

Warriors have to stay disciplined and not overuse Durant...ball movement, keep the big 3 going early. If those 3 get going, its going to be a long night for Houston.

Rockets need to have CP3 bringing up the ball. Harden almost cost us that game by repeatedly waiting until late in the shotclock to execute the offense...leading to rushed and terrible shots. CP3/Rivers need to be the primary decision makers for us to beat the warriors.

A40:
To be fair the Bucks starters not named Giannis were also average to terrible. The key difference was their bench. Again Connaughton, Hill and Ilyasova. These guys were insane

As for the Celts. They need to throw Rozier and Hayward inside dustbin.

Why is Stevens not using Aron Baynes.

Im telling u. All the role players yapping all season long like they were all stars. Tatum is legit. Kyrie is legit. Horford is serviceable. The rest are bench players on any other team.

Roland17, any comments on Barkley's comments? or Pierces comments

aliondo:
McCollum has been (low key) one of the best performers in this playoffs...

no doubt

Roland17:
PJ came alive in the 4th, Gordon kept you guys alive and ahead.

We would have been alive in the first 3q regardless. Those shots Gordon made are nothing special for Rockets. Anyone else coulda shot those with same efficiency.

We lost games 1 and 2 due to lack of interior toughness. This team had given up until PJ started mixing it up in the paint. Plus, without PJ, Durant was getting 60 tonite. Durant is the best player in this playoffs for sure. MVP even

aliondo:
What a miss by Curry...

That miss shocked even the warriors. I dont understand why they didnt foul with 10s left!

Killrhymz:
Eric Gordon was the reason Houston won.

Nah.. pj tucker

aliondo:
If Warriors win this game...e go pain oh..you guys playing well

no we arent. we need a new coach...this iso harden against a team this good is stupid. Im seeing manimal, who I thought would be great this series on the bench

this rockets team is mentally weak. I wish we had some fearless ballers on this team.

ipledge10:
We die here. Both team want to bd in conference final. As a warriors fan, I want Denver to win cos I believe they won’t give warriors much problem. I also want Lillard to win.

Denver is a nightmare matchup for warriors.

Killrhymz:
where is that paul pierce that said the bucks were done in game 1?

he said what he said to please celtic nation. a foolish thing to say tho

Pointguardusa:
I've been on a low I've been taking my time

Will never end. Its a trick meaningless argument, used by the sports media to generate clicks and likes anytime they need a boost in ratings. Dont spend energy debating about billionaires all day every day.

Folks, be wise.

On cue, this came out today?

Stop wasting energy on this goat nonsense. No one knows the answer. And you will never know.

OK let's end this argument once and for all.
