To be Honest I don’t see Rockets winning shit at Oracle, forget what I wrote up there. At the third quarter when Rockets and Durant Warriors were going back and forth, the fans would have change the Tempo and rest would have been history.
Most of my Family uses Ogundipe as their last name, I’m using my grandfather first as my last name, and surely my children are gonna use my first name. So no big deal
Eruditor: I can't believe no one at TNT has corrected the wrong stats they used for GSW vs Rockets in the regular season.
I know they want to create this narrative so hard and there are still lazy people at analytics and what not, but they have used the same chart again today and it is funny.
Anyways, that is BTW. Sixers had the potential to win games 2, 3 and 5 but executed poorly in the stretch. Brad, on the other hand deserves credit for his in-game plays and closeout stratagem as they were very huge in a series like this.
Surprised but not surprised that he got ignored by his peers in the voting category. People traditionally do not like the new guy who just came in and is getting most of the plaudits. They will feel he needs to earn his rank. Barkley was right, it was petty that he got not a single vote when 6 or 7 others did together with Casey who won. Warriors surely winning game 1
It is really shaping up to be one heck of a finals across conferences. I do not think Lebron will sweep but I don't see how Celts beat him 4 times.
As for the West, I know Morey and co have said times without number that they were built for GSW. They are right. I also know that they were formidable in the regular season. But the playoffs present a whole different challenge and I am riding with the more experienced team (obviously).
I would be very surprised if the series goes beyond 6 with GSW winning. Very surprised.
Barkley said he really wish to see a tough game, but he is not expecting it to pass 5. I told my friend 5 games series.
Talk about the freedom to argue basketball without limitations on national TV. To me this is the best pre/ post NBA games show on TV.
It is a tough argument for me to side even though I love Shaq's position about "babying" superstars in the league.
I don’t think I can have that kind of argument, I think both of them are right. You don’t baby your players, and it’s bad for the team if there is no good relationship between the coach and team beat player.
Eruditor: I have said that so many times that I just stopped saying it altogether.
They will always say he has 4 all stars but when we lose they blame him.
Today Pels shot 12 more FTs than GSW even when they fouled 2more times than us. Radio silence on here. Later we will hear that Refs were giving us more FTs.
The second quarter was crazy. At the end of first half they already have like 20 FT.
BarthramLestat: Imagine the sort of brain damage one must have to think it's better to lose before the finals than in the finals. Said Cleveland fans must be mentally disabled. Win or lose, we are keeping that finals run going.
Seriously is there any team in the NBA that wouldn't want to go to the finals because they're underdogs? LMAO. I guess no team wants to get to the finals.
You are foo.l. First of all I didn’t quote you. He doesn’t want Cavs to get to final and lose, so it won’t be another final on Lebron. Micheal Jordan is 6-6 in finals, while Lebron is 3-8 which is the main argument against Lebron.
A40: Durant could probably shoot over the Himalayas if they guarded him. I don't know why defenders even bother to raise their hands when you can just pray he misses
i still can’t imagine any team winning Warriors in a 7 games series. Maybe I’m being delusional, because golden state can switch anytime, if 3 pointer not working, you can always put the ball on Durant’s hand. Steve Kerr don’t get the accolades he deserves, Steve Kerr is good.
etidy: A 2022 retrospective sports headline: “How the Golden State Warriors kept Lebron James from being the Greatest NBA Player of All Time by a large margin"
We will look back and say we witnessed history with lebron and the warriors.
My friend a Cleveland fan doesn’t even want Cavs to get to NBA finals, because he knows Cavs are gonna lose again.
