Mizzzbeee:They obviously are not watching. Are you watching?? Iguodala is driving me crazy.. We keep this defense, Burbosa, Barnes and Livingston steps up and less turn over from Curry and we're ready for Cavs in 5 ![]() |

I think Curry hurt his Elbow when he fell from Westbrook's steal attempt |

SmooshCHN:It was the moment he jumped into the crowd. That was why he went cold during the 2nd Quarter. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:27am On May 19, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee:Your confidence is infectious. You are so right about complacency, but more than anything, the ball movement was non-existent last game and it is very evident today along with good rebounds at both ends of the floor. More of same Game 3, I beg GSW. FT OKC 91 GSW 118 |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:35am On May 19, 2016 |
Great game |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 4:36am On May 19, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:yup Curry tried with the TOs today. He had 13 in game 1 and 7 tonite. Blowout game by close to 30 points Warriors has beaten the major contenders by at least 20 points except OKC in the main season. OKC got theirs tonite. ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 4:39am On May 19, 2016 |
Eruditor:Yeah true, infact I witnessed alot of iso/hero ball and some unbelievable heavily contested shots these guys were taking ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:26am On May 19, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:hornaceck is a very good coach, would have preffered him going to a team without a "superstar" in melo. I think the east would make the playoffs with him, i am most likely sure he is not into running the triangle. They are still not a contender for the ECF though. |

well the thunders got what they came for ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 6:53am On May 19, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee:Congrats on game 2 Warriors. try to get it together OKC and win this thing. I DON'T SWITCH UP, IT'S STILL THUNDER UP!!! KD was on an offensive mission.. His jump shot looked spot on in the game.Westbrook and supporting cast was kept quiet and that's the reason they got blown out. Hard to win with one guy firing and not many others. And I ddnt expect that weakness from kd in second half.. This looks like the strongest western conf finalls in decade. Im really enjoyin it. S\o to curry too. Hes a good shooter Well im a cavalier.. i'm waiting for anyone who qualifies ?D |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:07am On May 19, 2016 |
lolawilliams:I like your argument but I disagree and here is why. I for one didn't hate LeBron because he left Cleveland That aside do you think if Wade and Bosh were in their prime he would have left? Part of the reason he left the Heat was because he knew guys like Pat Riley would not dance to his tune. Going back to Cleveland where he is the 2nd coach, GM and has the owner at his beck and call ready to spend was a no brainer I hope you know Cleveland have the highest payroll in the league |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:44am On May 19, 2016 |
Series tied. No surprises whatsoever Its almost like the return of Curry has made everyone else lazy until last night You can't blame them too. Who else can drop 15pts in 2 mins. Very balanced display by the Warriors. 7 guys in double digits. Steph took just 15 shots and finished with 28pts As the series swings to OKC it would still boil down to how well the supporting cast of the Warriors can play, the Thunder don't have such depth so have to hope for a perfect game from Westbrook and K.D They do have the length and athleticism to bother the Warriors. I personally want to see how often Kerr uses the "death lineup" in OKC |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 1:26pm On May 19, 2016 |
A40:Ok I got the layers album.. tabernacle, gotta know, quiet, pray nd layers too damn great.. Detroit rappers be stuntin so hard on atlanta rappers these days.. Too bad ppl dont know him that much. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 1:38pm On May 19, 2016 |
lolawilliams:It is beyond Warriors shooting prowess and that's what some of us have tried to let you see. Surely, Cleveland have looked the most impressive team in the P/Os but you need to understand why the scale still tips in the West's favor. Any of Spurs, GSW and OKC defend better than what we see from teams in the east. Cleveland have moved the ball well and most of their 3s have been uncontested yet they are just shooting 45% from there. Compare that to the west where you constantly have to make your shots with someone's hand in your face literally. That scenario means that Cleveland's 3pt percentage will drop, and because most of their blow out wins have been predicated on their good shooting from beyond the arc, they will have to come up with better play than just iso ball with Lebron or Kyrie. See how quick and Athletic Russell is yet he had a difficult time finishing in the paint because that is what good defence will do to you. A team that averages 108 per game or so in the P/Os was pinned down to just 91. Even though I think it will be easier for them to face OKC in the finals because they would have to worry about just 2 players, the message to Cleveland is, NOT YET UHURU. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:49pm On May 19, 2016 |
lolawilliams:Ehen. Now you are learning No real hip hop head will not know about Royce Da 5'9. Atlanta have great artists won't say rappers. Though Outkast especially Andre can stand with anybody. T.I sef dey try back in the day All these mainstream people that always get hyped won't let you know there are many other dope MCs. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 2:01pm On May 19, 2016 |
A40:Its still hurting riley lebron left the heat..he even said it publicly.. But I doubt that was the main reason he left heat.. Wade was stil on fire then. Evn if bosh wasnt that better. If he had waited, they would have signed whiteside early. And you know that another champ for them... For a team to pick you for high school team without going to college ncaa.. You gotta show them you appreciate that, that was what he ddnt realiised when he left.. if cavs had won a ring, he would hve gone somewhere else, I think that was y he signed a year contract with cavs.. He thought he'll gt them d ring nd then leave but it never happened.. Even if he left heat cuz the players were gettin old.. I feel that wasnt the main reason About the highest payroll.. Theyre really bothered about winning the ring, they dont care how much they spend.. Just that tristan doesnt deserve that huge amount of money.. I hope we trade him nxt season.. K.love doesnt deserve that also, $113m for 5 yrs is much.. I just hope we trade him for cousins whos more stronger nxt season |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:21pm On May 19, 2016 |
lolawilliams:You want Cleveland to get cousins? Thats three franchise type of players, This is why we all have a problem with lebron. He plays with players that have already found their niche in the NBA. If cousins or K.love were franchise players in the east, They would be going deep into the playoffs. Semi finals, or Ecf finals bound. Now imagine lebron having those franchise players as his supporting cast? The least man could do his win one or two rings. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 2:23pm On May 19, 2016 |
A40:I just read that he sold 16000 copies in its first week of release, oh noo... Kanye would sell that within 30mins.. hov shld sign this dude to roc. He's a good mc |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 2:51pm On May 19, 2016 |
Donlittle:Uhmm. I think 90% of nba professional baller wld want to play with players who have found their niche in the nba.. There was a cavs match I watch then the cunningham was just giving lebron some silli passes, you.ll notice lebron got really tired with that.. David blatt wanted to bring the lil boy up but he doesnt fit In nba yet, ppl like that are sposed to be in D-league.. Even tim duncan the person we never expected that from said it when asked bout sharing wisdom with young players he said “I wish I could be that, be that profound, and say yes, but no. Half the kids I can’t relate to. They walk in here and are like 'Hey,I had your poster on my wall when was five.’ I’m like ‘Man, shut up. Idon’t want to talk to you.'.. I dont think you should have a problem with lebrom about having good players in his team |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:55pm On May 19, 2016 |
lolawilliams:Lmaooo. That's what I'm talking about. Some of the all-time albums didn't sell a lot People too like bubble gum rap right from time |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:17pm On May 19, 2016 |
lolawilliams:He helped them win two rings so that's normal, but watch his actions not his words. There was a power tussle somewhere and the age of Wade and Bosh made it easy to decide on bolting. It would have been impossible to pay Wade, Bosh, LeBron and Whiteside. The Heat were drowning in luxury taxes then Forget all those sentiments. LeBron is a very calculating ninja. He wants rings but he also needs love and wants to be in control wherever he is. With the Cavs he is second only to the owner. He can get a coach hired and fired. Determine what he wants to earn. So much power sorta like Kobe with the Lakers lolawilliams:Exactly! And that is easier to do with an owner you have by the balls and is willing to spend spend spend Do you think Tristan would have gotten that deal if he didn't share the same agent with LeBron? Your guess is as good as mine The Kings won't trade Cousins for Love. Not going to happen |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:27am On May 20, 2016 |
if lowry plays decent, not even score, feed the bigs, play defense, and mot turn the ball ovee, It might be a game |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Ewuro4: 2:52am On May 20, 2016 |
Mizzzbee your trashtalk pass Cav's bench own ![]() Speaking of Cavs, with Irving, Love and James in the damn team, they'll remain unbeatable. Raptors' done! |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Ewuro4: 3:06am On May 20, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee:Who said GS can't beat OKC? Yimu Your NBA finals humiliation awaits and still doing warm up. Curry my foot. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:43am On May 20, 2016 |
Ewuro4:i want a cavs warriors rematch bad. But Im not completely sure warriors get away from Thunder. Thunder lost that game because they lost concentration - Curry was getting wide open and transition 3s. If Thunder tightens up, this series can go either way. Either way, HRH James and the boys await ![]() |

Turn the Bleep up cavs and beat these raptors. Cavs all the way. Cavs r hungry for that ring. Let's get that ring cavs. Turn up fans let's go cavs.. 10 straight win for us, Everything that's happened since last June has been brewing and marinating!!! The Cavs want and will beat the Warriors for the ring Whoever says LeBron isn't the best player in this playoffs is clearly retarded!!! I wonder how raptors beat pacers and heat. In this Era Lebron is the only player who can actually play all 5 positions on the floor its amazing to watch. Haters will hate but he is king james and will go down as one of the greatest players to ever touch a basketball... 23 11 11 |
