One of the things I love about Steph Curry is the fact that he makes coaching a superstar player easy and seamless. This trait has been tremendous in the success the Warriors have achieved since he entered the league. I don't know how many superstars of his caliber that will be content coming off the bench for Poole. Despite the decision being based off slowly reintegrating him into the first team after being out, I doubt many superstars will start from the bench in the playoffs, they would rather start and stagger their minutes in-between.

Also, if you have not seen Curry's FTX ad, you should, I find it interesting.

Very interesting point. This is something no front office has been able to figure out - they will pay gold if they could.

Even now, if you look at the mechanics of Bane's game, there is nothing that tells you he is going to be so effective above other shooters in the league. I think some of it is attitude, which is hard to measure. Just like how can you tell Morant will be hard worker and Zion will be a slob on draft night? So I wouldnt blame celtics too much for this. Your arch enemy Tom Brady is another example.

The other half of Bane's success is the grizzlies coaching. Not just x/os, but this team is mentally mature. They play with the poise of 10 year veterans. And its not just Bane, its the whole team.

Evaluating talents can sometimes be easy and other times very difficult. But you see players like Simmons and Zion? Any team that does its homework very well shouldn't be surprised by what they have become when it comes to work ethics, attitude, responsibility and discipline.

Morant is playing with a huge chip on his shoulders because in his heart, he is the number 1 overall pick. In 2017, the Celtics wanted to workout Josh Jackson because they were interested in him but the guy village people enter him head. He told the Celtics, he would not workout with the Celtics except we commit to picking him with the number 3 pick. Well, we all know how that has aged.

Your final paragraph is apt. Many times, it isn't about X and Os but the organization that drafts them.

These Bronsexuals no go kill person. No be una insert him name into conversation for series wey no concern am? Showing poor logic and poor critical thinking skills.

Nobody send your Jordan imposter. TV ratings are up in his absence for the playoffs grin he's losing relevance, na why desperate Bronsexuals still find means to chook am put for series wey dey happen for another conference. Meanwhile he no even make play in for him own conference

Guy forget this your megedefegede dust capping, Lebron's legacy and place among the greatest ever in basketball is cemented even if he never gets to the playoffs again. Repeat this first paragraph slowly so it can sink in.

KD is the one with a huge asterisk and a question mark and he has fallen shot and every analyst worth his salt on this planet is rightly calling him out and you are here trying to form voltron and police us here. Taa, shift joor!!!

KD should be judged with the same metrics and viciousness Lebron is judged and the jury is out brother, deal with it!

Who is this doofus? Where did I say LeNomad's legacy is not settled. Didn't I do a top 10 here and put him in number 2? Did you see KD on my list?

Are you actually high on meth or something?

What is wrong with all these unhinged Bronsexuals running amok everywhere

Who said KD should not be judged? Who is policing what? Where did you see me shielding KD or defending him from criticism. Clearly you are insane

Is that the argument here or in your fit of Bronsexual rage you didn't follow the thread of discussion

Sheep crying wolf all the time, you dey mind dem? They satisfying their inferiority complex and insecurities by capping rubbish that I doubt they even read after typing and when you quash their lies with facts, they never come back and take responsibilities but some how they blame the entire world when they were the ones who dragged their traveler in a discourse that he could not even qualify for.

The playoff rating are on fire as one website put it, the percentage difference from last season is not even close and this is without Ajala so why should anyone even bothered? His time has passed, it passed 3 seasons ago, for me even before that. Some of us can ignore and tolerate but sometimes we can also shut the lies.
These clowns will pretend people just come here to talk unprovoked. If they bring fake narratives we will be here to rubbish it. There are people that come to these pages for knowledge and we have to address disinformation

How can someone come here and tell us with a straight face that this washed up LeNomad or even the 2018 version would beat a team that has been the best in the league since the new year. And we won't challenge such fake narratives.

One even compared 2018 Jayson Tatum and Celtics to present Jayson Tatum and Celtics. Is Giannis the same player he was 4 seasons ago? Certain mumu opinion you share it in your bedroom. Once you carry am come internet anything you see you take it like that

Jokic, I know you are carrying a lot but man, whatever, it takes, you can not lose tonight.. That would be mean consecutive playoff sweeps on your resume..

True that, it is one of the things I love about the NBA playoffs but those guys win chips.

I go hate for consecutive sweeps to be on Jokic's resume and he is without a chip. The guy is just too good.

IMHO, he needs to just remove any doubt that Draymond is slowing him down 1v1, whatever the result.

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 9:41pm On Apr 24, 2022
This is the attitude the Nuggets should have played with from game 1. Na today series start for dem? The Warriors have been unhinged in playing their style and game until now. The Nuggets have to manage their emotions carefully if they want to see this one out, else, the Warriors will capitalize.

Ben Simmons is out for game 4 because he felt some discomfort in his back after full workout yesterday.

This has become a joke at this point. NBA owners, over to you! I swear if you guys don't get these players in the next collective bargaining then you may never get another chance.

I don't think he is trolling. He probably went at full speed in practice, for the first time in nearly a year and his body told him NO NO NO. People forget that he was not training due his sixers hiatus, so to expect that he would be able to just go was stupid on his part.
