steady986:No I didn't. No difference. AD didn't come to play. No AD, no championship. Enough of the Lebron hype. He is old. |

A40:Wrong advice. He just got out of G-league 2 years ago. aged 23? He will grow up. |

Let me ask this question again. Has Lebron ever been the reason his team lost? Ever? |

Down to 6. Can Sixers snatch this game? Will the Celts have another late collapse |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:40am On May 06, 2023 |
Lmaoo James Harden going to Vegas mid playoffs. This nigga so unserious KD and Booker having an over my dead body game. 48 combined and it's only Halftime. Crazy |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 4:59am On May 06, 2023 |
Omo, the Nuggets have cut the lead to 2. Suns have no synergy. Just Hero ball from KD and Booker. This is why KD couldn't win Jack with Westbrook. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Kilishihunter: 5:00am On May 06, 2023 |
A40:They've given it back to the nuggets. 0-3 this morning might be a possibility thanks to Jamal and the Joker. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Kilishihunter: 5:03am On May 06, 2023 |
Skrrrrrrr:They look shades different from the suns that lost to Milwaukee 2 years ago. See me that was already thinking suns in 6/7 after that first half blowout |
Re: The NBA Begins by Kilishihunter: 5:06am On May 06, 2023 |
Lol, Nuggets now leading, Just dey play |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:42am On May 06, 2023 |
Kilishihunter:The Suns recovered though. Now up 5 but only just |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:45am On May 06, 2023 |
Kilishihunter:Lool Suns in 6 ke? They have no bench. Team that barely got past Kawhi and PG less Clippers. I don't expect a sweep. KD and Book are just too good but mehn even in a home playoff game for the Suns to have no faith in their role players is crazy |

A40:The job's done now chief, But don't see any of this cats stopping the Lakers or warriors in the western conference semis, Seems I slighly overhyped this suns after the arrival of KD |
Re: The NBA Begins by Kilishihunter: 5:51am On May 06, 2023 |
A40:True, their bench roster is shorthanded quality wise compared to the starting 5, Any injury to KD or booker, O Pari, I just feel the momentum might swing in their favour after this morning but it still looks like Denver's to lose now sha |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 6:25am On May 06, 2023 |
Kilishihunter: Momentum. Lol. This is the first home game after being down by 2. They are supposed to exert themselves. But nah. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:44am On May 06, 2023 |
I was watching the 2nd quarter of the Suns game and I concluded that for the Suns to beat the Nuggets tonight and any other night in this series for that matter, both Booker and KD would have to go for 40 or something close to that. Then KD drops 39 and Book drops 47. I think that's the recipe going forward because these guys don't rely on their teammates enough to win games. Today their bench tried but Ayton only had 4 points from 6 shot attempts. They're not even making plays for him and others. It's just KD and Book playing hero ball and the rest feeding off whatever comes from it. Any night either KD or Book drops below 30, it's an automatic loss for the Suns. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:17pm On May 06, 2023 |
Kilishihunter:Anything can happen in sports but yeah I think defensively either of these teams will struggle. I don't know what Williams is trying to do but I want to see if he can pull it off trying to win a championship going 2 v 5 KD took 31 shots Devin Booker shot 80% from the field. 80%!! That is nuts for a guard |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:58pm On May 06, 2023 |
birdman: You see why I was very upset with Mazzulla for losing game one because this series would have been dusted in game 4? Even with Embiid, we match up very well against them. They have absolutely no answer for J. Brown who is getting every and anything he wants driving to the bucket. Embiid’s presence changes a lot for them on both ends but we were good at moving him which also caused him to fatigue. It wasn’t exactly a fast paced game, it was methodical with the Celtics moving the ball and moving players side to side. I loved our defensive intensity last night, we were quite discipline even though we game up too many FT to Embiid which was expected. We limited their transition bucket and JB has been doing one hell of a job on Harden. |

Playoff harden is real |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:19pm On May 06, 2023 |
felix00: This wasn't too long ago . When it comes to the playoffs, give me Lillard over Harden.

Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 8:11pm On May 06, 2023 |
steady986: Harden has been to the conference finals 2, losing in 5 and 7 games to the warriors. He averaged 28 points. The only time Dame made it to the conference finals, against the same warriors, he lost in 4 games and averaged 22points. Clean sweep. Before you mention KD, he was injured and didn't feature in that series... 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afromentalist: 9:36pm On May 06, 2023 |
The heat is taking care of business as they should. However the greens are clearly the best team in the east. Maybe even favourite to win it all. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afromentalist: 9:39pm On May 06, 2023 |
Steph and Klay really destroyed the league. How can you have an open lane to a lay up, but you want to shoot logo threes. This knick teams is something else. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:35pm On May 06, 2023 |
It's easy to forget this Miami Heat were the #1 seed just last year and are a battle tested playoff team |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 10:52pm On May 06, 2023 |
I have never felt the Knicks have a great offense. They thrive in physicality, problem is, they have met a pack of dawgs led by alpha Jimmy! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 10:53pm On May 06, 2023 |
A40: They are an unusual 8th seed, however, it doesn’t excuse the Bucks losing to them. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:03am On May 07, 2023 |
The Knicks have a Julius Randle problem. Guys like him are why regular season basketball is almost like a different sport. Why is he always so ridiculously bad and then wants to fight when he's playing like crap. Thibs has overachieved with this team to be honest. Immanuel Quickley, Josh Hart, Obi Toppin bless their heart but Cleveland underperforming badly is why the Knicks are here. Can still see this stretching to 6 if the Knicks can win Game 4 though. But then I remember they barely won Game 2 while the Heat were missing Jimmy |
