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

Randle has become lazy. He now sees himself as a 3 point specialist and has refused to pursue other levels of scoring, especially under the rim. Also, I was expecting to see a more Brunson/ Randle P&R..

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...

Harden averages 22.8 points in the playoffs. Lillard averages 25.7
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:52am On May 07, 2023
The Lakers transition defense is non-existent
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:09am On May 07, 2023
Come be like this 2 day break no favor Lakers. They look groggy and slow. They better wake up

Averages 25 point and gets bounced in the first or second round.

I think you might want to reconsider your assessment of this lakers because they aren't dominating. They don't seem like they are better matched. I couldn't refute your argument earlier on but I just realised that of the 3 games they won, curry missed 2. And just got back for 1.

Relax. Game is still ongoing. And like I said I was being honest based in what I saw going into their respective matchups.

I want the Lakers to lose btw so I do not mind being wrong. But I wasn't sure the Warriors could pull it off

He's a low IQ player. He has no shot selection and feel for the game which explains why his shooting percentages are always so bad in the pressure cooker environment playoff setting.

What is more infuriating is his lack of poise, always loses his head whenever he's having a bad game everytime and never thinks ok let me facilitate better, let me defend or rebound. He will give you 4/15 and like 5 Turnovers. Just a shocking player

Skrrrr. I told you to relax oh e get why
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:42am On May 07, 2023
Draymond has started again.

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:49am On May 07, 2023
Any way Warriors don't need to panic. Russell can't keep making shots at this clip.

Just need to find solution to this FT disparity
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 2:50am On May 07, 2023

I doubt una fit win this game oh. Momentum don shift. But if una no win. This second quarter is where you lost it
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:56am On May 07, 2023
Warriors are actually lucky these guys are not a really good free throw shooting team. Woulda been down by much worse
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 3:21am On May 07, 2023
Someone should be arrested for what happened in that second quarter....
The game was going so well
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 3:30am On May 07, 2023
That old video of Young Lebron on the Cavs team advising young Steph gave me chills man
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:30am On May 07, 2023
Warriors have to find a way to bridge this Free throw gap last last. Can't keep spotting the other team 20 more free throws per night and think you're just going to outshoot them.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:43am On May 07, 2023

I'm a GSW fan and I remember telling them to be humble and that we aren't out of the woods yet

Firstly, we don't have a good team this year. We don't have size and we suck on the road

Hopefully now, we can start prepping for next season as I know the Lakers will win in 5 or 6

Then hopefully next year, we can trade for some actual bigs and not depend on inconsistent shooters and little guys to outrun and outshoot opponents

The dynasty may just be over. We tried at least. 4 rings no be beans
