Birdman right now

Scratch that.

I spoke too soon.

Curry playing like a liability now.

What is it with all these careless passes when you had a wide open 3?

Why did Iggy not just dunk? Why pass it out to Draymond for a 3?

Klay why miss an easy layup?

Just like that, a 21pt lead is down to 13

EnigmaticEnigma:
curry needs to get to the basket more, which he can

sometimes, your shots just not falling, so why keep forcing the issue, when he has extremely good handles and high basketball iq? he should be racking up assists now, like 10 assists and more drives around the court without terminating his dribble, ala steve nash.

You are right. Just that when his 3s are falling...we ANNIHILATE teams. In fact, if Curry had anything remotely related to half of his ability we would be up by 15+ by now..if he was near his ability..it would have been 25+

As a team, we rely so much on his 3s because it makes us that juggernaut. Without it, we would just be ekeing out wins through good basketball...KD and Defense.

TNT stream has not come up for some minutes now.

Can anyone suggest another TV that I can use?

Where are you?

Go to NBA Reddit streams and click on the GSW vs Rockets thread. Youd see a handful of other links.

They are clamping the 3pt line and we are daring them by shooting even further behind it. We had better chances of some easy ISO deuces.

I don't mind the reduced ball movement if they are letting them grab and hold cuts but they should be fair and call it both ways. For e.g Curry should be getting the same calls they have called when he held Ariza in one of the schemes.

I know my boy is only a whisker away from getting that 3 that will lead to others..so he should keep eating how he can. Meanwhile, CP3 and Harden have been particularly annoying especially in this game the way they ACTIVELY fish for fouls.

Curry's defense on Gordon proves that he is not bad at defence. The other bigger players simply take advantage of their size advantage which makes him look lost atimes but he is not.

The only thing he needs back is his 3 and it is a whisker away. Once he drops them back to back youd see how Rockets will space to defend and then layups will be easy for GSW.

Good strategy by Kerr to stagger Curry and KD as I felt the Rockets were forcing KD to get his while they frustrated the others. Now that they are kinda in different line ups (with Curry playing with more shooters and KD with more length) they too will be forced to adjust and it will get them of their rhythm.

Mou is in Man U to get top players for the club before he is sacked. It’s unfortunate you guys don’t know this.

That your analysis about pep and Enrique is faulty. Bundles Liga is one horse league, that even siasia can win with Bayern Munich..Roma is competing with the likes of Juve, ac Milan and inter Milan.

Both have still not proven themselves although pep is better, I like his football philosophy.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL


LOoooooOoooOOOOOL.

30pt loss.

Lebron balled (I don’t mean his hairline).

All the bums in the squad were shooting flames.

Celts bad away from home.

Nothing new.

Nna mehn

See shooting

Kyle Korver is 4/4 on 3s. Should be 5/5 really.

Celts used this one as a feel-out game I guess.

Cavs won’t shoot this well game 4.

Levitate more like.

Lebron dey elevate abeg.

54-36.

You need to see the reverse jam Bron just did.

Celts are playing like they knew they would lose.

They better get ready for game 4.

This one na beating o.

Me after checking scores

You need to see how angry I am here seeing Bron shoot 3s like Klay Thompson.

BarthramLestat:
Maybe focus on why the cavs have played the way they have and why they've shot well instead of talking about refs for the umpteenth time on this thread?

I am making commentary not necessarily analysis.

BarthramLestat:
What about when the reffing was lopsided in the celtics favour in previous games. You didn't have a problem with it then?

I know about individual bad calls here and there and I know about ref ball.

It is not responsible for how Cavs have played as they have actually shot the ball well. But you'd be dishonest if you don't see that at some point in this game there was a stream of one sided calls.

BarthramLestat:
This guy.

The reffing has been a bit lopsided. It is partly responsible for one teams failure and the other teams success. Besides that, Cavs have played well. George hill and Bron in particular.

I won't say anything about the refereeing.

RUDIGER- OFFICIAL MAN OF THE MATCH

Between him and Courtois.

BarthramLestat:
Me being in passive mode and embracing a more humble approach to things I considered what you posted. I discarded my plethora of accolades and searched within myself. Could he be right? Do I have an over inflated ego? Could it be? Am I a deluded narcissist? Right at that moment I checked into my university's online portal and glanced the first entry of my final results and mark me, all that self doubt flew right out of the window. Forget the tests, forget the aforementioned accolades, my brain functions at a level that makes me question if I'm really even human. I see things, know things ordinary people like you can never understand. So keep grasping at straws eruditor, while the legend of my prodigious genius grows.

While you are in the gullible phase, I have some snake oil to sell to you bro.

Roland17:
Baba, the useless board of Arsenal is the problem and I have been saying this forever. I am not going to write off Arteta, especially considering he was tutored by one the best coaches in the game. However, this has nothing to do with the pitch they received from other coaches, except those coaches made it clear they were not looking to be placed under a tight transfer budget. Successful/ experienced coaches have a lot of ego and while Arsenal is still a big club, it is a huge risk. I am not even sure we reached out to those experienced names.

The board has nothing to lose by appointing Arteta, because if it pans out well, they would take credit but if it fails, they would claim Arteta was a transition plan.

And it is unfortunate because you are right. I read somewhere that Viera was insulted by the courtesy call they dished out to him and I am now forced to accept that they are not willing to spend.

Arsenal by every standard should be a better job than Chelsea because Roman is erratic but if they want to be this frugal, then the future is going to be bleak. I don't question what Arteta is going to do going forward or in midfield as he played the game like a cerebral player. But the defense, keeper and discipline amongst some of the players? Money is the first solution to those.

SmooshCHN:
I watched the last one on the Netflix app. It's was meh but I'll give this new one a try. Na next week things for here be that.

The sequel is better than the first edition. You can take that to the bank and deposit it.

chic2pimp:
Why is Draymond Green's Mum taking passing shots at KD? It's not KD's fault Golden State's offense was pretty much inexistent in Game 2 was it?

Make I check online. She better not ph-ck this game 3 blow out win for the dubs.

Decale:
.

The man just unilaterally accords himself IQ scores and even increases it at will.

SmooshCHN:
You're right. We could care less about him on defense if he shows up on offense.

I'm not a movie person and I remember the last Deadpool to be very dry. I'll try watch this one. BTW, China will screen movies like crazy and censor some parts before it premieres in cinemas. We got to watch Avengers like a week and half after.

You may not enjoy the movie overly censored. It has a lot of cussing..gore and graphic imagery. But it was a funny movie that much is sure.

I am guessing Benitez would have needed money himself or maybe they wanted to test a younger person who was willing to work with little money before they could trust him with a big budget. It is also possible that they were not convinced with the pitch they received from the appealing managers. I don't think Arsenal can compete without spending..but a better coach than Wenger could have at least done a Tottenham league wise.

SmooshCHN:
Even when Kerr moved Curry to the wing, his man would come and screen for Harden for a switch. One the way to screening, someone else would rotate to switch to Harden but they'll attempt the switch till its Curry so Harden can ISO. I like him at the Center cos it buys us time and makes Houston's offense stagnant.

Anyways about us, I'm not worried. We've not had our best game in this series. And Steph would show up at some point. Draymond needs to chill with excess passes and take some of the offensive loads.

Birdman cannot win twice a year. It cannot happen.

Like I said, hiding him or not is not what matters. It is building the offence around him which even he would concede he has not really done well against Houston because of his missing 3.

Someone recommended instead of layups he should take mid range shots and work his way back out beyond the line. That can work because he needs his shot to tear drop or splash for muscle memory to kick in. It is clear that layups don't do that for him because he has gotten those easily but still struggled rhythmically in offense. I know that using him as a decoy for KD only makes KD get buckets with little offense anywhere else. I saw one or two savvy Reddit handles that said similar.

Make we dey watch sha. A few nightmares here and there but Sunday will soon be upon us. If you have not seen Deadpool 2 you should. It was a good movie.

BarthramLestat:
But you're saying the motivation of your angry rants is what they're saying and I'm only saying if that's the case your temperament is getting the better of you.

I guess you are right.

BarthramLestat:
No rational person is thinking the warriors are in trouble because of that game 2. When you listen to analysts whose sole purpose is ratings and entertainment and you take what they say to heart then you need to work on your sensitivity.

I am posting here on NL not on their youtube videos or blogs where they may never see it. That is exactly how sensitive I am.

You should relax..I am putting posts here.

chic2pimp:
First of all i'd like to give credit to Mike D and the boys as I certainly did not see that coming. I knew they'll nick a game or two but not in that fashion. A blow out win was not on the cards.

Now having said all that, we have to look at the bigger picture. One team came in to the game knowing Loose and it's series over whilst the other went into it having already achieved it's objective of winning back home court advantage. Little wonder they started the game sloppy and turned it over time and again. This won't happen again as I expect them to be fully locked on for the remainder of series.

The only way this series goes 7 games is if Steph never recovers from His shooting Slump(He is Key to how the Warriors operate). Do you really expect 2 of the best 3-5 shooters the NBA has ever seen to shoot this badly again? I DON'T!

I quite agree. Rockets deserved their win it is that simple.

But GSW is a blowout loss kinda team. Got blown out by SAS and Pels so I am not too surprised... only sad.

The way everyone switched on GSW just irked me because they don't do same for Lebron. No analyst is bold enough to say Cavs are in trouble yet they have lost by 38pts in 2 games combined. Nobody even sounded like Celts deserved their game 1 win, everyone made it look like what Bron did not do. Okay. He did it next game and they lost, then they turn it into desire and home court etc.

Don't get me wrong I have not ruled Cavs out but that is simply because I am trying to be objective. But barely anyone is making objective analysis on GSW..I am just reading hot takes. The thing dey tire me. The way they are talking is as if we lost 2 games to Rockets by 40 each. Even after we beat them game 1, I was angry that everyone started calling for a sweep. Making Rockets look like scrubs as if they are Toronto.

As for SC, he is good. Ayeesha is preggers with their boy so my man needs to be in Cali around her. He will go flambé at the Oracle. I am certain of that.

How do I know she has a boy? I just know
