Tmac is better than Luka will ever dream of lol. With today's rules, Tmac go dey drop 40 nightly. Not to mention with his wingspan he was a naturally good defender. What part of the game will you say Luka is better than tmac other than shooting higher clip at the 3 pt line
Which kind cap be this now.
Abeg let's stop all this nostalgia sickness.
If it were possible to average 40 point in today's game, at least there should at least be one outlier generational talent that's has done it in the last 10 years.
T Mac wasn't even a generational talent. Abegi.
And oh, I am not a gen z , I started following the NBA as far as early 2000s

Are you trolling? I'm having a hard time taking you seriously.

You're essentially admitting that this is an inferior era of basketball. Good on you. Maybe you're seeing the light after all, cos if Luka can be a 5x All NBA player at 26 then this really is a mediocre era of ball.

Lmao at T-Mac being a naturally good defender. Mr Man Luka took his team to the Finals. Tracy McGrady did not make it past the first round even with Yao Ming.

Luka is a better rebounder and much better passer. You ranking T-Mac over Luka is a criminal indictment on this era of basketball

It's nostalgia now, comparing the second highest scorer per game in playoff history to a serial playoffs choker.

Wetin Grizzlies come do for playoff?

Down by 29pts in the second quarter already.

Relax o. That's how they said Reggie Miller is better than SGA. Now we're not even hearing those comparisons anymore. Everybody don believe.

I know you're just being a Houston fan. Even me might say Robert Harry is better than MJ because he has more rings grin

Are you players injured or they are just not in playoff mood?

Notice Jaylen Brown has been dipping for sometime and Tatum is just on and off. I hope this is just a one off game though because Brown, Tatum and Porzingis has 16pts between themselves in first half. Derek white is carrying this game so far.

This Magic team are a good defensive team and quite physical with great size and that can be challenging. They will be ok, especially since the Magic are not offensively explosive

This Celtics na super team. Derrick White, Pritchard, Jrue holiday and Porzingis can all go for 20-30points any given night, then you have the two headed monsters of Tatum and Brown. Even prime warriors will kill for this depth.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 10:21pm On Apr 20, 2025
Increase the pace of the game, particularly on transition offense, that way they are not set defensively. They are particularly quick too.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 10:39pm On Apr 20, 2025
BIG AL is like fine wine as Tatum hits the floor hard going for the dunk.

Adams has come in and changed the trajectory of this game.
Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 4:58am On Apr 21, 2025
11points difference with one minute to go. Q2 was everything. Good work boys. On to game 2. Una Papa, set awon Harden and CP3 no reach. Talk less.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:00am On Apr 21, 2025
Experience is everything in the playoffs. Good win for the Warriors but they have to find some bench scoring. They defense and experience for them this W.

Good Win for us. Moody turning it up in defence feels so good.

Jimmy Butler and Curry fits so perfectly almost like they have been playing together for years.
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 3:23pm On Apr 21, 2025
Randomly remembered the conversation I had with someone about Paolo Banchero and Jabari smith jnr pre draft.
Dude preferred smith because according to him paolo had a weird name.
Today, Paolo is an all star while Smith isn't a starter in a rocket team that is full of role players....
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 11:45pm On Apr 21, 2025
Someone needs to tell N. Harrison to shut the hell up because he is making things worse every time he speaks. What the hell! What do you mean by you did not now know how much the fan base love Luka.
