Watching Lakers games last night I was so angry I have to go to bed .

Shooting useless 3's that won't enter.. if they drive in the box and score 2 point is better than wasting the ball for 3point..

We get called Haters for speaking the truth too early grin

Clippers gonna Clip. I've seen more choking in g@ng bang p0rn than what I just saw.

Lebron credit to him should not be outscoring your entire team in the 4th. It's why it would be a cold day in hell before I ever accept the Clippers are title contenders.

They have the spirit of choke and b!!tch in them

I don’t think Ajala can the irony in his hypocrisy. In January, Ajala came out and told the world Bronny can play for the Lakers now, easy.

Now you asking the world to leave his son alone after he did not even make the mock draft. In simple terms, he isn’t good enough to be a one and done. nobody thinks he would be drafted if he declared this year.

Man, you set your son to fail with your mouth. You can’t eat your cake and have it. I said it here last here that the only reason Bronny is a topic is because he is Ajala’s son. Otherwise, he isn’t an NBA player based on what we saw in high school and college this year.

He needs another year and hopefully, he can push and become a 2nd round pick in 2025.
That boy I'm seeing needs 3 years in college minimum. If he wasn't LeNomad's son we wouldn't give a fvck about him to be very candid.

When he came out to say his boy is better than actual professionals you're forced to wonder if he truly is as smart as often claimed. Outside the court at least. Cos how can he not see the kind of pressure that puts on the boy

Now he must really put his narcissism to the side and ask himself what means the world to him. Playing with the son or the son having a respectable NBA career because he will not have both

Shebi na just 2 days ago wey people been dey talk say dem no enjoy Lakers game vs Suns (even though it was a good game). So did you enjoy Lakers vs Clippers tonight grin Talk true o

That's what it is bro. The regular season is 82 games long. You enjoy some games and you loathe some games. LeBron made 5 threes in the 4th to bring the Lakers back from the dead. Do you think this comeback would have been possible if those 3s were 2s instead? Hell no. Imagine trying to come back from 20 points down and you're taking long 2s grin No be ment?

Just enjoy today's game for what it is. Stop complaining

Clippers were primarily shyte above all else.

Do you know how bad you have to be to score 12pts in 10:46 of basketball in today's league. Kawhi last 2 buckets came with 1:14 left

KG said Bron on that Balco juice grin cheesy

I like how all the media are forming unlooking. I woulda unlooked too till I remembered notorious former UFC juicer Chael Sonnen also accused him of juicing and he didn't face any repercussions. Makes you go hmmmm.

Someone on YT said he wants to believe the story is false but he will observe and if no mainstream media covers the news then he will know there is element of truth to it

Can my Blackhawks win one game for God’s sakes! Every time I watch we are getting pummeled. Here we are down 4-0. Hopefully we can get another strong lottery pick during the draft to complement Bedard.

Omo J. Murray can not catch a break with these injuries.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:47am On Mar 01
Wemby my goodness! What a player for real.

The Spurs have to surround this kid next season. They absolutely need to get a good PG at least, there is a lot of talk about Trae Young.

MAGA Mike has to step up. He's gotten too comfortable fitting in and being the 3rd scorer. I think it's remarkable how he's played all 60 games this season considering his history but now he needs to take that leap to being a guaranteed 20 a night guy

Mike needs more games like he had last night when Murray left the game. I sometimes try to be considerate about his situation. He is usually the 3rd option, except on nights where he starts really hot. But I agree with you, he should be at least a 20/ game player irrespective of who is on the court. Hopefully, his back keeps holding up going into the playoffs.

Exactly. Very good to see how far he's coming after all those injuries but he seemed to me to have fallen in love with that corner 3 too much.

You see why I hammer so hard against that 3pt spamming. It makes players lazy and reduces their ability to have a deeper scoring bag. MAGA Mike is 6'9-6'10 with handles. He should be able to put the ball on the floor and have other ways to score on nights his 3 is not falling.

Luckily Jamal went super saiyan in the last playoffs but for the Nuggets to be a true dynasty. Mike has to play like the max player he's being paid to be

The 3 ball is a big problem for many players in the league.

Up until this season, it was a serious issue for Tatum. This season, regular season I should add, we have seen massive improvement in Tatum’s shot selection as he is now attacking the rim. I mean, What is the use of bulking up if all you will do is shoot 3s?

Mike’s love for the 3 reminds me of PG13. PG13 used to attack the rim aggressively until he suffered that devastating leg injury. After that leg injury, his drives to the bucket have significantly reduced as he is now shooting more 3 balls.

I don’t see how offensive players improve their overall game by just spamming 3s all over the court.

It's really hurt the game. I don't see any type of flair from even the stars anymore. Everything just feels robotic.

I remember watching the Finals and I was so pissed off at MAGA Mike, he could see the 3ball was not falling yet he kept spamming and spamming. He would have open lanes instead of driving to the hoop would brick another 3. This nigga took 6 3s a game and was shooting it at a 14% clip.

You have a boatload of players who when their 3s are not falling have no clue on what else to do

LeBron is the only member of the 27000/7000/7000 club. Just as he's the only member of the 40000/11000/10000 club. Do you know how insane that is?

I hope Booker's injury is not serious. We need that Warriors/Lakers 9th vs 10th seed matchup by force by fire

And what can I say about MPJ? He must be on Nairaland or something 25-10 and 100% FG shooting. He's the key to their repeat. If he can play to Murray and Jokic level I don't see who beats them 4times in a 7 game series

We actually do match up well with them. We have size in our front court just as they do. And our backcourt is even longer than theirs. The games have been competitive, we just fall apart down the stretch. And you can never win a game if your opponent's 3rd best player goes 10 for 10. MPJ was just hitting everything, contested or not. He misses 2 or 3 of those shots and the Lakers win the game

Na so we jonz for 10th seed last season still reach conference finals. Dem dey chop regular season standing? grin
