Skrrrrrrr: And Steph and Klay are to blame for your game 4 loss that would essentially cost you the title. Nobody is innocent if we want to nitpick |
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 5:14am On May 10, 2023 |
I know you are hesitant about seeing if they can get to the final, but I just don't see what AD does against him. Guy is versatile. AD doesn't have the legs/body to stay in front of him. A40: |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 5:26am On May 10, 2023 |
steady986: Ogbeni... If anyone on the warriors Roster has been half as good as steph has been in this series, it would have been over by now...... He gave the warriors 4 rings. He can do whatever he likes... That a bad play from him, automatically results in a loss is telling enough..... |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:34am On May 10, 2023 |
donlittle25:Lol. Bro AD is a problem oh. The irony is now he's more of a defensive threat than offensive sef. His offense might fluctuate but you see that defense na Constant K. What I want to see is if the Nuggets will give Thomas Bryant some playing time as well especially if Jokic has foul trouble. Because unlike the Warriors the Nuggets at least have bigs that should not get entirely overrun by the Lakers. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:03am On May 10, 2023 |
Skrrrrrrr: He's been good on offense but terrible on defense. Every team wants to switch on to him. If you watched game 4 yesterday you'd know that was what the Lakers were doing. But should we fault him? |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:58am On May 10, 2023 |
This is not a good stat for the best shooter in the game. Or is it about mentality as they say?
|
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 8:16am On May 10, 2023 |
Very useless stat. 1. You don't need to come from behind if you are always leading. 2. The shot that gives you the lead is invariably a very small proportion of the shots taken to come from behind in the first place. So if a team is losing by 15 points and their best player chops it down to 14, scoring 10 points and one guy takes a shot that gives them the lead, you'd give the new guy credit abi? Jordans name is not there for a reason. Nonsense stat. 3 Likes |

steady986: Exactly my brother |
Re: The NBA Begins by Blueelf: 9:43am On May 10, 2023 |
I am pitying warriors fans still thinking that Klay thmopson will come back to this pre-injuries form sometime later Lollll..news flash for you guys, he isn't doing so. Klay don go, he can never be half as good as he was again GSW has two options; continue with this outdated splash bros team or just trade for actually good players that don't play hero ball 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Blueelf: 9:48am On May 10, 2023 |
Skrrrrrrr: loll GSW still needed him to win those 2 rings Imagine steph scoring single digit in a game in the finals And you're wondering why he never won finals MVP KD was the main reason the warriors won those rings Remove KD and watch Lebron eat y'all alive A non-sentimental Warriors fan said so 8 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 11:11am On May 10, 2023 |
Blueelf: Curry was FMVP last season, should also have won in 2015. There is also a strong argument for one of the Durant mvps. Make Durant reach finals without Curry first. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:11am On May 10, 2023 |
Skrrrrrrr: Bros, you read the graphic well so? |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 12:15pm On May 10, 2023 |
A40: Truly, Lebron is kpt even at his best Imagine it was 2016 lebron? Man...the massacre that would've been |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:03pm On May 10, 2023 |
steady986: Are you not the stats guy? Go check draymonds record with curry injured and klay out. Then come back and apologize in shame 3 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:07pm On May 10, 2023 |
Roland17: Too harsh. This was a one off bad game. Those were wide open shots tatum was missing. I think game 6 will be better |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:46pm On May 10, 2023 |
darkelf:He doesn't even have to be. There's 3 guys that can carry the load. AD in Game 1, Game 3 was D-Lo and then Lonnie Walker with a huge 4th. There's a reason he can go through full quarter without taking shots because he knows teammates will keep the game in range |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:14pm On May 10, 2023 |
birdman: Harsh you said? Harsh and the series is tied with the Sixers having a good chance of ending our playoff run in game 6! The Celtics are not in the playoffs to get better, that crap is taken care of in the regular season. We made the Atlanta series tougher than it should be and here we are again, in a situation we looked lethargic from the get go. There is absolutely no reason why this series should be tied considering how we lost games 1 and 4. Tatum needs to figure out how to come out aggressive and look for high percentage shots because he has been slow and it affects the rhythm of the offense. People want to remind me that the Celtics were in a similar situation and I tell them it is not the same team and mentality. This team feels fragile and poorly coached with no discipline because we are making the same mistakes in our losses. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT BUM OF A COACH CALLED MAZZULLA |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:41pm On May 10, 2023 |
birdman: Bros you don't seem to get the point. Even LeBron has a poor record without AD. The tree cannot stand without it's root. Dray is not built to carry a team. Never has. Never will. But as a key piece in that GS system, there's no one better at that. And we haven’t seen Curry lead this team without Draymond either. They have been successful together. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:49pm On May 10, 2023 |
Celtics only have themselves to blame. Allowed one or two internal foki foki to ruin on court success. I doubt Udoka loses to an Embiid less Sixers team. There really should have been no excuses to lose that Game 1 It's also pretty clear this Mazzulla nothing really consign am with defense. I don't really see much Horford and Timelord on the court together. So while you're scoring the other team is also scoring. It usually works till it doesn't Anyway they say the closeout game is the hardest. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 4:00pm On May 10, 2023 |
steady986: There is actually a stat for the warriors with steph and no draymond. I'm sure you know where to look. Draymond was terrible in the finals just last season. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:00pm On May 10, 2023 |
steady986: If this was all you said, no one would argue with you. But you made it sound like its a big 3 down in warriors land, when we clearly know it is not. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:34pm On May 10, 2023 |
Skrrrrrrr: Bros. I'm talking of a full season or something like that. Then we can judge. Don't forget a bulk of that time was with KD as well. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:36pm On May 10, 2023 |
steady986: Heres the full season ratings for PFs in 2023 season http://www.espn.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/position/pf Can you find your buddy's name? No? Because its on page 2! At #56! On a team with Curry/Klay/Poole where all the heavy lifting has been done already. Even Rui Hachimura and Zeke Nnaji rank higher 3 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:36pm On May 10, 2023 |
birdman: But this is what I've been emphasising right from time. They only work well together. Steph might be more valuable as one who can carry a team without the other but there's no major success to show for it. |

Na who report me for my main account? I know who I dey suspect sha |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 5:29pm On May 10, 2023 |
Warriors in 7. Don't forget folks. |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 7:13pm On May 10, 2023 |
A40: We are saying the same thing Imagine if lebron decided to go full throttle Loll Abeg, season is over for GSW Let them start strategizing on good trades to make And Lebron is getting his 5th chip.... Then hopefully, he retires...Best to do so when you're on top |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 7:16pm On May 10, 2023 |
Android17: Lolll Whatever make you sleep at night Pele oo If we're being honest, na for us to go plan for next season with trades for actual igs..even the guards shouldn't be under 6'6 |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 7:18pm On May 10, 2023 |

Re: The NBA Begins by Ragnall: 7:23pm On May 10, 2023 |
