When healthy, AD is the best big man in the game. I don't want to hear any argument again.

Lol. So now free throws is a sin Because someone averages 8+ FT he's now a fraud. MJ averaged 8.7 FTs in his 13 seasons with Chicago and 8.2 overall. LeBron is averaging 7.9. Would we say they weren't elite scorers just because of their high FT numbers?

We're not saying Steph was dependent on flopping to score points, we're just saying he flopped at times. Apart from Trae, Harden and Luka, I don't think there anyone that does that pump fake and jump into defenders more

steady986:


E go affect Steph too

birdman:


I actually hate when Russ has games like this. Because it fuels his desire to chuck shots. We know he wont shoot 55FG% every night. Even with 33pts, his +/- was 1.

The real takeaway imo is that Lakers defense need to be able to hold teams like the Spurs to a 100pts or less in regulation. This team is too old to play hero ball 3 to 4 times a week. Defense is the only way out for this team.

I like the way we're trying to portray CJ like he's some kind of mercurial no 2. CJ is at best a third option on a championship team, and that's who Dame has had his entire career. Dame was drafted into a dead franchise that had played only 3 (and lost all) playoff series in the previous 8 years. In his 9 years in Portland he's taken them to the playoffs in all but his rookie year.

Sometimes greatness is not all about championships. Dame turned the fortunes of a franchise. He wasn't fortunate to play with generational talents like Steph was with Klay, or with MVP calibre players like KD had at OKC.

Nine years and 6 all-NBA teams. 6 all-stars. ROTY. 8 playoff appearances. Mr. Clutch. Many dudes on that list can't even boast of that resume, but because they were part of a dynasty that won championships, they're there. Make we chill abeg, he deserves to be on that list.

My brother, are you alright?

Shey na upgrade be that or downgrade?
Klay comes back and this Warriors team gets to conference finals.

The warriors are nothing without Curry. Wiggins needs to pick up.

Lol. Right wing religious nutjobs are a big problem. Vaccine they won't take, medical marijuana they will fight it. Fight Big Pharma too. What do they actually want bayi?

Having said that my opinion is that there is a reason a phenomenon like the anti vaxxers movement is on the rise. The reason:
Medical science failed us, simple.

One, nearly 5 million corona dead worldwide with all the trillions government and corporations are channelling into medical science. Big fail.

Which accounts for the rising level of distrust and suspicion and the willingness to seek other forms of medical help we are beginning to witness.

Have these deaths with any other unorthodox or alternative health methodology and the uproar would have deafened this universe.

Two, the much reported criminal collusion between big pharma and medical experts over the years should be thoroughly investigated and made public.

Trust is waning and questions are now being asked. That's what happens when experts and big pharma continuously manipulate research data to amass profit. People are beginning to question medical science and rightfully so.

As usual the white coat spell will not allow many of us question the medical profession on the rot in the system and why they failed the Corona big test. Big pharma and doctors are gods. Infallible. How dare you even think it to question them?

Having said that anti vaxxers are all over the place with their argument and their research. Big money NGOs should be set up to probe Big pharma and medical science and come up with more credible research as well as advance solutions to avert another repeat of this great Corona catastrophe.

Massive research funding should be provided for alternative health methodologies and the possibility of high level collaborations between medical science and alternative health methodologies explored.

This is not me invoking a landslide on medicine. They are doing a whole world of good and saving lives in many situations and aspects and we still need them but there is a decadence in the system that needs a putsch and reevaluation and yes we must ensure a repeat of this Corona deluge does not happen again.

We need a medical system we can trust again.

I believe this is partly behind some of the frustrations of many anti-vaxxers.

And no I am not an anti-vaxxer.

Kawhi didn't really do that load management thing last year. He played when available to play

I don't think Lakers can pay Derozan. Except he wants to take the minimum to try and win a championship. But why would he do that when he's still near his peak? And he doesn't fit in that team, except coming off the bench.

etidy:
The 76ers were afraid to risk it all to get Harden but I thought it was a mistake.

They left it late to the point when the Nets became desperate.
They are not winning the NBA title with Simmons unless he develops some shooting. Embiid and Harris has clearly stepped up. But Simmons is holding this team back

etidy:
Ben Simmons is just light skinned draymond with hype . Yeah I said it

Patrick33:
KD as great as he is needs a super number 2 and a good number 3 to win games..he’s not a leader and can’t carry a team...still one of the best pure scorers tho..and definitely one of my favs..but I’m rooting for the bucks to win this series..and hopefully make it to the finals.

benji93:
Trae is quite average from 3.

smokers:
Nets coach continues to baffle me. Why keep your star player on the bench. Can't giannis play 40 mins in a game one
