Can’t praise JB enough for the incredible work he has done for us in what was supposed to be a gap year. Man has shown he is a credible option 1. Credit to the Meerkat for also keeping JB as the number 1 option even after Tatum returned. We go into the post-season with a lot more confidence than any one of us had when the season started.

JB proved that he deserve that contract.

Bucks has started their rebuild immediately.

Doc Rivers out

Look at it this way: the 20% that are better than him dont earn his type of pay. So at 50m per year, he is a hindrance to the team if they dont perform come playoffs. The guys that are bing hard on him, while some of it is haterade, do have a point. If you are going to make this much money, we need to see this much impact. Just like we dog Golden State for rewarding a journeyman like a franchise player.
His coach clearly made him the third option on the team. It's not his fault. If the first option was Wemby and the second option was Jamal Murray, no one would expect LeBron to do the things people are suggesting he should do. We've seen how he has played on the past 3 games as the first option, which is not different from what other first options in the league are doing.

Mr Meerkat has really suffered. When does he lose the name? He has impressed enough na!

I was asked this question 2 seasons ago before and after he won the title and I said, until he wins a 2nd. Infact, I relaxed my expectation because I originally said back to back. He has to win a 2nd title before he gets a reprieve from me. He has 2 top 7, in some books, top 6 players in the league, young and in their prime...One title isn't going to cut it for me.

Absolutely! He is so motivated and I love how he has played this season. He essentially muscles his way to the bucket. We have seen fewer jump shots, spamming of 3s and more drives to the bucket. He is also finally getting the foul calls which makes it even better. He just needs to be consistent with making his FTs. He is shooting it at 79% which is low.

Yes and with Tatum back, you guys are favorite to win the East, I don't know how well you guys match up with the Pistons but I expect you guys to get the job done if you meet in the ECF

My thoughts are with T. Haliburton. Man is going through hell with Shingles while rehabbing from his torn Achilles. He is taking so much medications and one of the side effect is weight gain yet, he can’t train to shed them off. Good to see him in high spirits though.

Keep your head up Tyrese..
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:06am On Apr 15
Heat v Hornets play-in has been intense.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:33am On Apr 15
The Hornets are out hustling the Heat on the boards.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 1:46am On Apr 15
LaMelo should at least have gotten a tech for that foul on Bam. That was a dangerous play that has now put Bam out of the game.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:22am On Apr 15
K. White has taken over the 3rd with the 3 ball.
Re: The NBA Begins by Hohenheim(m): 3:37am On Apr 15
Let's go Hornets
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:36pm On Apr 15
What they gon say now?

Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 7:30am On Apr 16
Goodbye Suns! GSW is coming for that 8th seed.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:19am On Apr 16
Kibbs:
Al Horford? 40yr old Al Horford is the reason why you’re excited again for the new season?
Ask me this question again. grin grin
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:21am On Apr 16
SmooshCHN:
Al Horford in the Warriors jersey legit makes me happy. Finally the Warriors would be worth watching again.
birdman:
Lol, crazy level of cope among warrior fans. May your standards continue to lower, amen grin
You're going to tell me I'm wrong??
Anyways, our standards were never high. Some of us are just happy to see what a Competent Centre brings to this team.

I had to watch the full game again. Sweet me.

I'm not expecting magic come playoffs though. The team needs work.

GSW is meeting OKC in the first round. At this point, we are just watching for the sake of entertainment, no hopes raised.

You get the point. We are just here for a good time.

I pray we do. It's nothing personal; it's just to spite OKC fans. Give them some PTSD to deal with. grin
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 5:06pm On Apr 17
OKC will run Curry out the gym

It’ll be light work for okc 😂
Re: The NBA Begins by Ridwan1821: 7:34pm On Apr 17
Celtics vs Sixers.
We are not going to find it easy against the Sixers especially as Embiid is returning during the series.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:16am On Apr 18
The Hornets have no answer for the physicality of the Magic. The Magic v Piston is going to be a real physical battle. 2 teams that play extremely physical.
Re: The NBA Begins by Ridwan1821: 2:22am On Apr 18
The Magic smoking the Hornets when everyone thought the Hornets will take the 8th seed.
Re: The NBA Begins by Ridwan1821: 5:50am On Apr 18
The Phoenix Suns take the 8th seed in the West.
They bring the Warriors season to an end as they set a round one clash with OKC.

I don ask am again grin
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m):
How did Warriors fans suddenly think their team is any good? grin This thread wey we dey since October wey we no hear pim.

Anyway, if I'm the Warriors, I'm breaking this thing all up. Dem don try. The longer they postpone this thing the worse it's going to get. That Jimmy trade wasn't necessary. Your two superstars are old and injury prone. Just let it go. The rebuild will take some time but it will be worth it in the end.

Quote one Warriors fan who thought this team was good even with a healthy Jimmy Butler. Some of us are just happy to see old boys play.
