I have always said Beverly has no business being a starting PG for a team with Championship aspirations. Na just activity him get.. Ty Lue have had no answer for Luka

Write off this Lakers team at your own peril. If they beat the Suns in this series and remain healthy then they as good a contender as any team out there.

The longer they last the better they gel. And that spells trouble for opponents.


AD just answered his critics. Dude needs external motivation to get his juice flowing.
With a little bit of luck, this team can go to the end. The experience is top notch.

I know people are spitting on the clippers but I kind of have a different opinion.
What if Luka is the next generational player, the Jordan and LeBron of the years to come and we are just watching his inevitable rise to GOAT status.
Some players come once in a while and make all opponents effort futile.

The clippers have just met another GOAT and there is probably nothing they can do about it. It's written in the stars.

Luka is obviously one, but trust the NBA wanting to Shove zion down people's Throat as the Next Gen superstar. Without injuries and proper diet for Luka he, Giannis and Jokic would continue to dominate the league in the next 6, 7,8 years.... Luka is special.

The only thing that can stop the Lakers is them selves honestly.. See with LeBron on your team at least you guaranteed a conference Final, haters would say otherwise but the records are there to show. They needed to make those necessary adjustments which was actually obvious like giving Gasol more minutes as he can knock down threes while dragging Ayton outta the paint which he did, he's not agile anymore but his basketball IQ is one of the best na why LeBron request for am sef, Drummond was very impactful too he just needs to be more aggressive. The experience the Lakers have is unrivaled.

Everybody wants to spit at AD, rightfully so and more proof that this team can’t win without him but let’s act like LeBum did not go 1/4 in the 4th, choke FT and turned the ball over 5 times..

When they win its LeBum but whenever he loses, it’s got to be someone else no matter what. Big credit to AD for coming out to take responsibility because he did not show up.. but... make no mistake, he knows and sees this rubbish going on.



How old are you again?? Every Night lebum, this, lebum that. Ogbeni worry about your team getting Molested Night in Night out and
Worry about one of your biggest earners in kemba scrubbing up come playoffs I mean dude's earning 35 million per year and stil thrash.

Apart from having two "superstars", that's just the difference between them and the Warriors for instance. While the Lakers went for veterans and gave them the vet minimum, the Warriors went for rookies and sophomores, basicallyyounger bloods who have lots of energy and upside. Now it has backfired. How can you fill your roster with youngins without one or two veterans who can give moral or on the court support when the chips are down. Every sensible team does that. From Dudley to Gasol to DAJ to Haslem to Javale to Dwight to Rondo to Rose. Every team needs those types of players, whether they're playing or not.

To think they were calls for Giannis to leave the bucks and team up with Luka on the Mavs? Imagine adding more firepower and near elite defense to this Mavs team? A40 would have simply made this thread His permanent base for the next 5 years at the very least.

They all come here, take turns to hate on Curry but when you remind them Curry Lords their BUM they become sensitive like their MCM and angry. Like I said, the trauma Curry inflicted on their BUM still haunts them till date.

I know box score analysts or handles that rely on Twitter for narratives wen I see dem.. They have 0 idea of strategies and tactics..

Baba, I have been saying this same thing for nearly 3 seasons now. I am struggling to see his impact on the floor especially when he is playing the final minutes of the 4th Q and constantly getting chewed.
I love his personal life story, it is quite inspiring but I don’t think he should be a starting PG for a team with Championship aspirations.

You could be right. Nets are balling right now, but its against the celtics that typically get outcoached come playoffs. We dont know how they will fare vs Bucks or 76ers. Nets havent seen adversity this playoffs, so its hard to tell.

Lakers look like old men trying to force the game. It worked for them last game, but even if they somehow beat the suns, what will they do vs Mavs or Jazz? The bright spots are Drummond putting up Detroit Drummond type numbers and AD waking up

And kudos to Tim Hardaway junior. He's effectively matching Paul George's output over 2 games essentially ensuring that the output of the other role players determines the outcome.

THJ is really showing out, although giving him open looks does not help. The man is about to get paid next season

I was thing about that myself, he is in my top 5 at the moment although I will understand if someone else puts him at 6-8. One thing is for sure he is the best player on the floor in this first round match up

Zion and Ja Morant are part of that conversation. Zion's output is great for his 2nd year and he is too efficient. He just needs a better coach.

Foolishness is when Warriors win 67 games in 2015. In that year only Klay and Curry are listed as all stars. But every year since then you tell them that their roster was filled with superstars and your only evidence is 67-15. But with the other side of your mouth, LeBron had bums in Cleveland. Same Cleveland he won 66 and 61 games with back to back. But you don't mention how he had 2 players who had been all stars. Like I said before, if anyone annoys me, I will come and demystify the lie that LeBron carried bums. Lol
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 3:09pm On May 26, 2021
Luka Doncic is extremely good and intelligent however his side pieces are balling out and I feel a lot of this is being overlooked. Every time they threw the box-and-one, he simply passed out of it. The receiving end showed a fellow teammate hit a huge 3. They had 50%+ on 3pt FG. My only issue with the Mavs right now is, their wins have depended on great 3pt shooting regardless of Luke's heroics. Which is why it is a problem. If their 3pt shooting dips in say game 3 and Clippers steal 1, they will be reenergerized. I know Skip Bayless has given up on his Clips but I will actually watch out for game 3 where the Mavs could let slip.

All true, but the shots his team mates are taking are basically open looks. If the Clips continue to give up uncontested 3s they have a mountain to climb
