Im not understanding this format. You mean some all stars are going to have to play 2 games in one night? lol. Can we just go back to east vs west and leave it at that
To be fair, this is the most defense I watched in an All Star game in nearly a decade.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:02am On Feb 17, 2025
Why can’t Wemby play like this for the Spurs, instead of the barrage of 3s he spams?
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 5:42am On Feb 19, 2025
So apparently KD not wanting to return to the bay had nothing to do with his time at the warriors of with Draymond.
He didn't want to be moved midway through the season. That's according to him....

Wemby out for the season. Omo

With Jimmy Butler on the court with Steph, what are GSW's chances during the playoffs? I must say I wish to have Skrrrrrrr's strong faith, I don't know if I do, but I do have my own strong optimism. Steph, Butler and Draymond are such wild cards you really can't write them off. DG can be an arse player, yet he sometimes produces such beautiful defense and passes you can't help but marvel. Today he is an airhead, tomorrow he just might pleasantly surprise you. Same with Butler. Forget his off-court issues, Butler can be a beast on the court when he wants to. Curry would score 2 points today and throw 10 3s tomorrow. Wildcards I say. With Looney's rebounding ability and GP2's defense, you have a team that is very unpredictable.
Other unpredictable team members include; Podz, Hield, Moody, Post, Kuminga. GSW is an unpredictable team and should never be totally written off.

I agree.

Everyone yapping about AD and Luka meanwhile the real star of the deal is Max Christie grin

But on a serious note. If that guy ever learns to create his own shot there will be problems for everybody

Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 12:27am On Feb 24, 2025
I am loving the Bromance between Podz & Butler. I don't know how things will play out during the playoffs but the Butler, Green & Curry trio is bound to create problems.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:13am On Feb 24, 2025
My issue and hesitation with the Timberwolves is that they don’t have enough offense to wrestle through the Western Conference. Outside of Antman, who else, including Randle can give them 25-30pts a night?
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:42am On Feb 24, 2025
Listening to some pro Denver and anti-Lakers podcast and it's clear they're pissed by that win grin Talmbout the Lakers are not going to be able to sustain that kind of intensity in a playoff series against Denver. Lol, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now analyze the game you just watched grin
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 6:06am On Feb 25, 2025
This NBA season is funny because only two title contenders are in the top 6 on both side of the conferences.
All the thunders them, memphis them. When playoffs come the title contenders would make quick work of them....

Lol. My guy. This OKC team won't win 2 games against the lakers. We saw them against Dallas last season. And the lakers are a way better team....

Relax. The Lakers have obvious flaws. We're not built to contend this season. Maybe next season.

Oga, you have Lebron and Luka on your team, there is no better combination of number 1 and 2 in the entire league..... Luka took kyrie to the Finals last season, if you do not win the chip, you guys are a failure.....

This Mavs v Lakers for make sense if AD was available.

No be agenda bro. You are already cooking up excuses for your guy in anticipation for his failure as usual. And we won't have it.... On paper, you guys easily have one of the best rosters in the entire NBA. It's up to Lebron and Luka to make it work. People have won titles with less...
And this is what @A40 always says about you guys, always claiming to be underdogs so you could have an excuse in handy when Lebron fails as usual....
Pathetic....

I was happy for Luka Doncic, his performance against his former side was great. You can enjoy to his TRIPLE DOUBLE against the Mavs here:

How is a 41 year old supposed to be a factor in an NBA playoffs game. The same way yall accuse Bronistans, your side is not sensible either. As of 2 years ago, he was gassing out in playoff games. What makes you think his cardio is now better, 2 years later. Its a wrap, for those who dont know. MJ found out the hard way, couldnt even make the playoffs in the east. It will not be different here.

40 year old body is not a 30 year old body, no matter how you condition and eat, as you all will soon find out grin. I still find it remarkable that he can play at such a high level with few injuries. But should he get injured, or tweak something, it will likely spell the end. The way I stretch before working out now, because I cant afford downtime. Even when I can lift the weight, I still think about it, and be like, nahhh.... grin

Lets all just appreciate greatness. Hating on someones career for 22 years cant be good for your health!

And I hope he writes a book, lets us know what his protocol is. The amount of poisons masquerading as foods today is insane.

Are you saying that Lebron James is washed and isn't capable of being the number 2 guy on a championship team?
Wasn't he the MVP at the olympics?

He can be #2, he just cant play any game more than 35 minutes. And come playoffs even that 35 minutes will be a lot the longer the series goes. But what you guys were insinuating is a different matter. That just because Luka was on the team, Lakers should win a ring, or else. I notice you dont use this yardstick for anyone else.

Lol. Oga you are just being mischievous.
If Luka was on the same team with steph, I would also expect them to win the ring.
Wetin dey worry all these Lebron fans sef, you guys always come off as utter losers....
If he was on the same team with Joker, Giannis , Tatum, KD, I would also expect the same....
Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 4:24am On Feb 28, 2025
Steph, 56 points and the win. Motivation is everything. Give Steph his team and rings 5 & 6 will come, most definitely.

That is their normal way. They are preparing the ground in case they fail. Play the Lebron age card if they lose and heap the praises on Lebron if they win. Luka as usual is collateral damage, win or lose.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 7:23am On Feb 28, 2025
Sure say the Mavs no scam us with Luka so? sad huh

Thats how haters think, so you assume everyone else is thinking like you. Lebron's greatness is not debatable. Just live with it like that grin

I dont have Lakers even making to WCF finals this year. If that happened, it would be a remarkable achievement more for Luka and the coach, than Lebron. Because it will mean the Reddick's coaching is legit not just tlk talk, and Luka stepped up consistently. Lebron has 4 rings with 3 teams, his greatness is not in question.
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:18pm On Feb 28, 2025
Lol grin

To be fair, the cookies was likely the last straw in a string of events. I think Riley is too old and disconnected to be effective with today's players. At least Popovich mellowed a little, and gives grace to his players. Riley is too head strong, over little things.
