I gotta agree with android at this point. The refs really want the Kings to win this series.
The warriors are playing against the Kings and the refs...

The Kings has surpassed my expectations. It’s natural to support the underdogs 😂

Lol. You have been rooting against the warriors from day 1 grin grin grin
About 98% of the people on this thread are anti warriors...

You thought I was just whining? When 2 teams are somewhat closely matched a little bit of bad refereeing here and there will tip the scale. Warriors better use experience in that game 5 and sucker-punch the Kings. Don't allow them calculate how game 7 will be on their ground. Shock them by coming out aggressively. That rebounding nonsense in the first half cannot continue.

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.

Guards don’t get the ball checked inside the paint for them, it is suicidal and will lead to a steal/ TO. More so, the player checking the ball in has someone in front of him, so except he is looking for a 4 or 5, he has to check the ball outside the paint, if the play is called for the guard.

Only bigs (PF/ C) get the balls checked inside the paint because of their height advantage. Guards get the ball outside the paint because of their size and they rely on the dribble and run to get the play going. There are rare exceptions when a guard makes a good cut inside the paint but that is not the instance.

2+ minutes of Westbrook's air balls with the Lakers. Man we really wasted 18 months with this guy.

The Kings basically threw away the best chance they had of beating the Warriors. I see this series going 6 games max. Sabonis is their clear second best player(some even said best going into the series) but He is currently playing like their 4th or 5th best player and they need Him to have a good series to stand any chance. One of Klay or Wiggins is bound to go off the next game and once that happens it's goodnight cheerio.

The Timberwolves need to fire their GM for this Gobert trade. Not necessarily because of the players and picks they lost but the fact that it is affecting the balance of the team on the court.

They are top heavy when they have KAT and Gobert on the court at the same time. Worsestill, they don’t have any perimeter scoring, especially from outside the arc and it affects their offense. Whenever KAT is doubled, they are limited with scoring from the kick out.

imo Lakers efficient and fast start got them past Grizziles in game 3.

And Yes, LeBron is not human. How is he able to play like that at almost 40! How?

Russell also found his mojo.

Can they replicate same in Game 4?
Re: The NBA Begins by FBS: 4:07am On Apr 24, 2023
I need to study and implement the full court, energy sapping press that the Cavs gave Knicks in Game 3 in my training sessions.

They may likely not survive the series but that was mightily impressive to watch.
Re: The NBA Begins by FBS: 4:08am On Apr 24, 2023
And I'm also sensing we would see Giannis for Game 4 against Heat?

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:06am On Apr 24, 2023
That final possession should have been called for KAT not Antman..OT
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:15am On Apr 24, 2023
KAT/ JJJ/ Ayton all have the same problem, they struggle with foul problems. KAT’s is more impactful because of how much he helps the Wolves offensively.

It will be hard to. They won because they jumped on the Grizz early. But its a home game, so maybe they can pull off a close game 4

@A40 did you see the Garcia v Tank fight. I am not even sure why it was marketed like it would be close because I knew Garcia was all mouth. Man was dropped in Round 2 and waved the white flag by kneeling in the 7th after suffering serious body shots who was just looking to punish him.

Also, your boy Cujedo is on the cards for next month…

Either that or he has some serious punching power. He downs opponents on normal looking shots

His reach is shorter because of his height but he packs a lot of power and those body blows eventually caught up with Garcia. He is one of the shorter fighter who uses his height to his advantage because when he dodges or goes in a defensive stance, his reach is right around the body of his opponents, so he doesn't have to do much to get those body blows into his opponents.

Was about to say Nets 76ers but roland has already done that. Tbh with Minnesota they've already sold their future for a plate of porridge when they acquired Rudy in exchange for all that picks. They should have built around Ant,Mcdaniels and KAT.
