Kawhi is basically reeling this team all by himself.

How can Porzingis be so useless

Game 7 on Sunday! Kawhi..what a player!
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 4:52am On Jun 05, 2021
Kawhi is a coach's dream. Very consistent. Very efficient. Never speaks carelessly. Never gives off any emotions. Rarely has a bad game. Even if he does, he shuts his trap. Accepts his fault and promises to do better. And always does better. Never shies from the moment. Never hopes someone else bails him out. Gets the job done and bounces back to his private life. What a Guy!

Yeah. But can kawhi do it again on Sunday? I seriously doubt it. Mavs will most likely win again.

It is going to be a heavy task but I think Kawhi is one player that can pull it on both ends. He is one player that has impressed me the most when it comes to being a dominant two way player. Most people have forgotten Kawhi for the most part in his early years and half of his career had absolutely below average offensive game but credit to Pop and the Spurs and Kawhi himself, he has expanded his game exponentially and now people just talk about his offense.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:52am On Jun 06, 2021
Even without Harden you can see the strength of this Nets offense. They are deadly when they go small and this series is a perfect matchup for the Nets to play small ball with Griffin.
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 2:07am On Jun 06, 2021
Omo Durant is the ultimate scorer Kilode. 6 ft 11 Jordan cheesy once the guy rises up to shot from mid range e be like make Shaq dy dunk cheesy

Secondly, BKN absolutely pounding the bucks on the inside. Mehn they need any length they can get. For the Nets to have a legit chance
Blake griffin has to have a massive series.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:08am On Jun 06, 2021
The Nets have upped their defensive intensity. They have incredible length and size and that can be quite disruptive for opponents because they can block the passing lanes to force TO or tough shots and can block shots.
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 2:37am On Jun 06, 2021
Some people really thought Giannis can guard Durant angry
Na yesterday una begin watch basketball.

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

Milwaukee you mean. I think the thing about Giannis is that he exerts so much energy. Everything he does requires so much force. He's not the type of guy that paces himself.
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 2:57am On Jun 06, 2021
Just happy for Blake...he's been terrific in this game... smiley wink

What more can I say about the Slim Reaper.. absolutely amazing... smiley

I don't think playing 40 minutes would matter or change tonight's result. This particular Bucks team is set up to help Giannis with perimeter scoring especially from the 3 and they failed to do that tonight. They shot 6/30 from deep I think. They have moved Brook Lopez to play inside the paint more but against a small mobile lineup led by the slimreaper? That is a tough ask. The Bucks would have to be perfect on offense and force them to play some defense.

When I watched the #Slimreaper workout after his injury, I was announcing it like John the Baptist that this man is coming back even better. This man is a cheat code, easy and simple and to imagine he has now added intense defense on his repertoire? It is flat out criminal!

This game was all bucks loosing to themselves and probably the refs, it's so hard playing good defence when the refs are so soft and terrible with their calls that being said the bucks shooting and terrible bench output let them down today, but i trust they'll figure this out, Was not really surprised too cos the extended Days of rest on the bucks side too was obvious with that little rust but i still trust them to Win in 6. Portis, Forbes and connaughton have to be better which hell yea they would be better. It's gonna be a long series imo n i see the bucks coming up tops.
Re: The NBA Begins by DeeMain(m): 7:27am On Jun 06, 2021
The Bucks were bricking everything today without which it would have been a very close game and Durant would probably have fouled out. Remember he was in foul trouble early enough but the Bucks couldn't capitalize on it because of their offensive struggles.

I expect the Bucks to overcome this lull and match the Nets intensity for intensity, scoring for scoring.

It's going to be a long series.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:03pm On Jun 06, 2021
I love listening to The Great Hubbie Brown.. I am happy he is part of the team calling the first game today. For his age, his memory/ recollection is still crisp..

Omo the amount of young beasts in the game right now is crazy with doncic being the head of the snake.

The moment doncic gets a co-star, it's over for the league for the next decade.
