No they arent. Lakers were playing very bad defense, made Randle think he was kevin garnett undecided They brought dome defense next quarter and the rim started to look tight for the knicks
You have a point for sure but there was some sequence in which AD and Westbrook went to the line. Those calls were flat out imaginary.

Lol if AD doesn't grow a pair and play that center full time una go smell una yansh this season. tongue

Another tough loss without the King, but I loved what I saw from the boys in the third quarter. Glad to see that Westbrook can still take over games. We'll need that going forward. There's a paltry 63 games left for LeBron to integrate with this team and build some chemistry. I hope it would be enough grin Las las e fit be .500 wey we go use enter playoffs cheesy

And props to AD for playing with a fever/flu and with no warm-up before the game.

So why are the Celtics getting blown away?

On Defense.
Coming into this game the Celtics were top 10 in defensive rating and number 1 over the last 3 games in interior defense, so what happened today? Over the last 3 games, our opponents prioritized interior offense which we were able to neutralize because of our size, movement, switches and paint action. But the Nets are a different offense... They are a perimeter scoring team and we have struggled to adapt to defending a different kind of offense. This has also forced us to pick silly fouls.

On Offense.
We are trying to match their style of offense vs playing our own offense and what has worked for us in the past, especially over the last 5 games. We are spamming 3's, shooting a shameful 9/37 from 3, this is not what got us over .500. Our bread and butter was attacking the paint, finding the mismatch inside the paint, attacking the rim, forcing the defense to collapse inside the paint, find the open man inside and outside the paint. This style of offense would have worked against this Nets team especially when you consider they do not have the size inside the paint.

Congratulations to the #Slimreaper on passing A. Iverson for the 25th highest scoring place. At this pace, he is projected to crack no 18th by the end of the regular season. Sad to see records of great players like AI slide down but that's the whole idea of records.. They are made to be broken..

Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 6:47am On Nov 25, 2021
When their ball movement and Defense is clicking, the Warriors play the most eye pleasing and demoralizing basketball in the NBA, down 19 late in the second quarter to winning by 20 points. Crazy team!

If I am the Jazz I will be a bit concerned about gobert with what they did to Drummond today. They are likely to keep switching him to perimeter shooters to the point that the Jazz will have to bench him grin. DeAndre Ayton still has some mobility and offensive finesse, I think he should fare better.

Abeg, steady986 abi wetin be your name, you're trying too hard and it's becoming laughable

If a player is good, you don't need to bring up old stat lines or padded stat lines against a bottom team to defend him. Boys here will recognize

Not everyone here is a fan of Steph Curry or Giannis or Lebron James or Jokic or Tatum or KD or CP3 etc, but we all recognize these guys are ballers and I don't see anyone one defend them as hard here as you're doing for a single player

Baba, rest abeg

Just a reminder that Markieff Morris still hasn't played a game since Jokic inflicted that blindside whiplash on him. That's 9 games now. Plus he hasn't travelled with his team for their four-game roadtrip. Imagine some people compared his whiplash to an elbow. I can't believe some people even accused him of flopping.

That's terrible of you to say. Even though the Morris brothers are known for dirty plays, they've never caused anyone to miss multiple games through injury. Two wrongs cannot make a right.. Will you be saying this if Stewart for instance got through to LeBron and injured him and made him miss multiple games? A wrong or hard basketball play is different from a blatant act of non-basketball violence, and we don't condone that.

......Listen, first off, i am glad you said that the morris brother are known for dirty play,so they should taste what they dish, and maybe a little more, what is happening is bigger than what you saw....What Morris did, is trying to roughen Jokic up a little bit and act like nothing happened,trying to get him off his rhythm, i love the message Jokic sent back....I am no punk.....As regards the lebron saga...first of, lebron is not known to play dirty, secondly, if you watch that play, you would see that Isiah had his hand on Lebrons back/Rib cage, it is only natural to shake that hand off you,also Lebron went over to apologize immediately,but isiah was not having it. Also, who told you that because isiah was running towards lebron, he would be able to injure....lmao.....I need the old school basketball men......Them days of Oakley, pistons.... grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Jokic will be hard fouled many more times in this league by many more players. So there's no message he sent. Trust me if he does what he did the last time he's getting more games than he got the last time.

It's ironic how you're a proponent of hard plays and yet you want people to retaliate whenever they're the victim. Why can't they play on and wait for their own moment to pay back? At least that would be better. Instead of bitching around and attacking someone behind his back.
