Suns even the series. I'd be damned.
Re: The NBA Begins by FBS: 4:05am On May 08, 2023
Wow. That was one beautiful ultra offensive game of basketball.

Suns x Denver all square.

oh Shamet! cheesy

These Playoffs are getting interesting o.

When you think a serie is over it is just getting started. Let see how it goes from there but I still expect the Cs and Denver to win. I believe the Lakers have a slight edge too but anything can happen.

Thats why we play the games.

That being said, Suns duo had to play out of their mind 2 games in a row to win by a whisker. Can they make it 3 in a row in Denver? I dont think so. I still give the edge to Denver.

The Nuggets don't really have a good defense. How do you keep letting Booker have efficient near 40 or 40+ games. Today he missed only 4 shots. The same thing the other night. This is not sustainable if you're the Nuggets.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 5:18am On May 08, 2023
The recipe hasn't changed.

steady986:
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.

This is how I see every game.

If the Lakers are wise they better win Game 4. Then they can be sure to Close The Serie in 6 Max. IT would give then time to rest their fragile bodies while Denver and Phoenix wear themselves down. They should play desperate and aggressive.

It was even talked about during the commentary...Why doesn't he call time out??Now I know it's on purpose....

He got into a spat with the Boston media after game 1 when with his decision not to double Harden. After game 2 win to tie the series, he was expecting the Boston media to praise him for adjustments, the media did not and he was upset and ended his post game. In his head, he is trying to prove to the media and self that he is smarter than everyone else but he doesn't understand that the Boston media no send anybody, they are the most fearless and one of the best out there. I expect the Boston media to bite even harder after game 4 loss because it was self-inflicted, it comes with coaching in Boston.

This is a ready made team and there is absolutely no reason why we are making obvious coaching errors that continue to cost us games. Mazzulla thinks he is the 2nd coming of the Zen master with 11 rings and that is infuriating to me. Throughout this season, I have complained about his coaching, especially the final 2 minutes/ last possession and it has continued to rear it's ugly head. Mazzulla wants to be loved and respected like Ime Udoka but what he doesn't realize is that Ime earned the love from Boston and we were just as hard on him. Ime knows Boston will always be home for him because we protected him.

If we lose this series to the Sixers, that seat is going to be hot for him I can assure you. The barest minimum is to get back to the Finals.

The following happen when you refuse to call a timeout to set a play for the final possession

1. The shot clock expires before you can get your shot up
2. Marcus Smart ends up taking the final shot instead of Tatum or Brown
3. There is no plan B when plan A breaks down
4. You end up losing the game.

Let's be grateful Jokic was not suspended. That would have been incredibly harsh

Also this 3 and D player thing be like na scam. What's the work of KCP and Aaron Gordon with guys like Booker dropping 40 on their head a night?
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 12:41am On May 09, 2023
Warriors in 7.

League would have never done such. Because the other owners would pitch a fit and start something the league doesnt want. The fault is squarely on Suns owner, for getting too involved. Even Mark Cuban has the sense to NOT seat courtside in his own arena.

The 2 smallest players in Curry and GP are getting it done for the Warriors in this quarter. DLO is such a defensive liability, it is not even close!
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 4:59am On May 09, 2023
Klay thompson disappearing act....
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:05am On May 09, 2023
See how Lakers wiped that 7pt advantage in less than 90 seconds grin
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:06am On May 09, 2023
It's pretty frustrating when you want the Warriors to win but know they can't.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:08am On May 09, 2023
Shocking performance from Klay and absolutely disgraceful performance from Jordan Poole. They should strongly consider flinging him in the summer. He's not Steph 2.0
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:10am On May 09, 2023
Steph gotta play 40+ minutes for the Warriors to remain in this series

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:21am On May 09, 2023
Austin Reaves. Such a high IQ player. Someone is going to have to show that man the money. If the Lakers don't somebody else will

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:27am On May 09, 2023
Can't keep the Lakers out the foul line. Told y'all I don't see the Warriors having it for the Lakers. No chance
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:30am On May 09, 2023
Golden State shot selection has been shocking
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:32am On May 09, 2023
Only Lonnie Walker knack 15pts for 4th quarter. I said this Lakers squad is deep they called me a madman
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 5:33am On May 09, 2023
This team just makes me sick. angry
Dragons about to be on his podcast telling us why he'd rather kiss Bron's asś than play decent basketball.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:34am On May 09, 2023
Lakers in 5. If you think this series is not over I'm sorry you're a madman grin
