Is it me or is Westbrook somehow playing well enough that you can excuse any of his inevitable mistakes. The dude might end up getting good money in FA if one GM, thinks he can do what he his doing now for a whole season.


Westbrook still have the fire in him.

His stuff in Lakers was just a bad period in office

I think he would be suspended.. that's a deliberate foul
Better for the Grizzlies. This guy is unbelievably bad at basketball. If the Grizzlies think that is the enforcer they need. Sorry for them. He was bricking warm up shots. I've seen Dwight Howard make warm up shots.

Grizzlies should hope and pray he's suspended so they at least have a fighting chance

This joker played 19 minutes and took 13 shots. 13!! Can you imagine Tony Allen, Rodman or Bruce Bowen taking 13 shots at the half?

Khanben:


How can points not have impact. Everyone knows Lebron can't control a game the way he used to say 5 yrs ago, but to say 25pts on very good efficiency more often than not does not have any impact is reaching.
There're very few winning teams in history where what Lebron is doing right now would not make him at the very least the 2nd best player on said team.

PS: Even in his prime Lebron missed dunks, every single player in history has missed dunks, and layups.

I'm borrowing the words of some of our analysts here grin. Maybe that was reaching. But my point is, when you really expect him to have a foothold on a game, he defers. I'm not mad though. Age is catching up on him.

He could get 12-15m on a conteder, or 20m in a small market

I cannot believe I disagree with you on this. cheesy grin. Common, the man is 38.


But wait, if you are too old, retire. cheesy grin
steady986:
And for LeBron, it's safe to say he's old. He doesn't impact the game as he used to. He scores points but more often than not you can't really feel the impact of those points. The efficiency has gone down mostly because he's taking too many threes. The IQ is there and the mind is willing but the body is letting him down. Look at the open dunk he missed today. He's also missing layups. For us to have any chance in this series or the rest of the playoffs, AD has to be our best player. You could see in game 2 that just a little more production on the offensive end and we could have won that game.

This game 4 GSW v Kings is fire.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 9:20pm On Apr 23, 2023
Kings want to hold GSW neck tonight. If GSW lose this, the series is done.
Re: The NBA Begins by Honlucas: 9:44pm On Apr 23, 2023
GSW will lose this match ...

Congratulation to Sacramento Kings..


Kings vs Lakers next round..


Sun vs Denver's.


Final

Suns vs Lakers
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 9:49pm On Apr 23, 2023
This game is all about runs. Kings make a run, then GS replies with their own run. Rinse and repeat.
Re: The NBA Begins by Tinneh: 9:52pm On Apr 23, 2023
Suprising how the King's are very good with thier mid range shot
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 10:14pm On Apr 23, 2023
Wiggins is a nightmare on both ends of the court.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 10:49pm On Apr 23, 2023
Kings has absolutely impressed me this series.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 11:00pm On Apr 23, 2023
Sabonis is a joke. πŸ˜‚
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:00pm On Apr 23, 2023
The Warriors probably set 5 different kinds of screens during a possession, my goodness!
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:11pm On Apr 23, 2023
This is going to come down to home games but the Kings have impressed the entire league.

Okay now I get what you are saying. I have also noticed that deferring stuff too. I just take it as Ham telling him that is the way the Lakers has to play, because the Lakers are top 2 or 3 in pace and we all know Lebron prefers playing at a slower pace.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:15pm On Apr 23, 2023
D. Fox is a demon...The most clutch award is absolutely no fluke!

The Kings have a chance to win with the last possession.
Re: The NBA Begins by Shittaakeem(m): 11:18pm On Apr 23, 2023
Barnes why
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:19pm On Apr 23, 2023
Close one there. What a series.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 11:19pm On Apr 23, 2023
Mike Brown is a clown. What sequence is that for that final possession. What’s the essence of the time out then. πŸ˜‚

Just get the ball to Fox in the box to try a simple lay up or draw a foul.

Mike Brown blows it with that rubbish sequence. How do you even throw the ball to your center court with just 10 seconds of play remaining πŸ˜‚
Re: The NBA Begins by kingBolton: 11:20pm On Apr 23, 2023
Thank you Barnes!😁😁😁
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 11:21pm On Apr 23, 2023
Barnes that’s 1/6 attempting the last shot πŸ˜‚
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 11:23pm On Apr 23, 2023
Common, you want GSW to lose so bad. cheesy grin. This is his first season handling his own team in the playoffs.

No more basketball today. Till tomorrow. Any other game will just be an anticlimax grin

It was actually a good play call, the idea was for Fox to catch and quickly drive to the bucket with Curry on him, he makes the bucket or gets fouled but Kerr neutralized it by keeping Green high, doubling Fox with Green/ Curry and kept the play cornered to that left side since they have Klay covering Barnes.

Great game all the way.

Warriors better win this series, because I sure as hell don't want to face these Kings in the next round if I get there cheesy
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:27pm On Apr 23, 2023
I have said this before, JB Bickerstaff is overthinking this thing with his rotations.

I believe he should’ve anticipated that. Fox should be getting the ball inside Warriors box and he automatically becomes very easy to draw a foul from there.

I still believe if Fox got the ball in the box, he can easily turn and hit a mid range.

The game was in Kings hand and they let it slide.

The Kings has surpassed my expectations. It’s natural to support the underdogs πŸ˜‚

Barnes may prove to be our hidden weapon in this series. He messed up some time ago, maybe he can help us this time. cheesy grin
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 11:31pm On Apr 23, 2023
Whatever happened to Huerter. Seems playoff is not for some players.
