True that. But IT is different. In my books he is more intense than westbrook, definitely better skills too. With that attitude they are guaranteed to have some really close games. Close games can go either way
If we don't sweep them, we will end it in 5 series.

I once posted how the western conference playoffs would look like. I predicted Rockets meeting Warriors in conference finals. Please help me beat them if it happens, your game against Spurs was scary, If there was a 4pts line, y'll would have shot from there.

To think most were reading to much in the cavs struggle during the regular season and saying they won't have it easy this time around in playoffs. Lol
They are the best team mehn. When you have James, you automatically become the best team.
If they want, they can sweep either Celtics or Wizards.

Point of correction, you automatically have to buy more than enough help, make sure that team is the most stacked even if you have the highest payroll and have to pay annually for being over the cap space and then everyone does their part. Westbrook would do that easily smiley

@A40 derozan needs to do two things this summer, improve his outside shooting, and learn how to facilitate.
He actually dropped 8 dimes yesterday. That 3pt shooting is still where the trouble is at. He is not even attempting it. Which means he is not working on it. But simple Maths suggests he is playing himself if he is serious about winning
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 7:22pm On May 08, 2017
Every key player getting injured back to back

The Cavs and Warriors are having it easier
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:11pm On May 08, 2017
Nenê out
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 9:41pm On May 08, 2017
If you guys don't want normal dull player response,you should expect the brutal truth sometimes.

I have no problem with derozan's comment.

Calm down. You beat Pacers and Raptors 3 out of 4 times in the regular season as well.

When you have Bron and win you become the best team. But when you don't win, you blame the other players for not stepping up or being injured. Una try.

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 12:17am On May 09, 2017
Kelly Olynyk is a dirty player, man,” Green said on the podcast. “… He’s dirty. Dirty player, man. I don’t respect guys like that. I mean, I know he’s not like the greatest basketball player of all time, so maybe you feel like you got to like do that, but you don’t like – just dirty. Like I don’t respect that man, he dirty.”

“It’s a big difference between knowing all the trick because all the tricks ain’t doing stuff to hurt people,” Green said. “Like come on, he really yanked this [Love’s] shoulder out of place. I don’t roll with that man, dude dirty.

“This dude be out there trying to hurt people man, I don’t rock with bruh like that.”

Green is not the only one who thinks Olynyk pushes the envelope on the court. Love, who missed the rest of the playoffs with that shoulder injury, accused Olynyk of intentionally injuring him after the game two years ago.

Shebi i dey talk am d other day. Celtics have some down low dirty plays. Stuff that is so not necessary. Even Green is calling olynyk out

Are you serious right now? you are using comments from a renowned dirty player, whose suspension cost his team the championship!! We are speaking about player whose legs always finds the private's of his opponents, and then pretends like he is being victimized!!! We are speaking of a player who elbows opponents from behind, and step on opponents feet at the free throw line?

Guy abeg make una dey judge issue fairly. This is just a case of Kettle calling pot black. In my view, Kelly is not a dirty player, and i am sticking to it, he is not worse than M. Barnes or S. Adams.

I love D.Green, he is an exceptionally talented, however, he has no ethical justification to speak about dirt.

I'm sorry but I need to ask; who's meeting in the finals? grin
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:35am On May 09, 2017
Good start. Let us keep it that way.

Breath of fresh air to see Curry getting foul calls so early. I am thrilled.

Meanwhile, the kinda foul calls on KD....hmmm. It is unfair.

Anyways, wrap this up boys so we can watch Rockets and Spurs slug it out.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:42am On May 09, 2017
Golden State shining the brooms. K.D your Fada! Your actual Father! The day I go under with you is when you know say you go score 17pts in one quarter.

Emmmmm. You don check Caps vs Bruins score line? 3rd Period and its 4-0 Caps, una think say e don end na? Game 7 in Washington..
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:57am On May 09, 2017
@A40

Update: it's 5-0 Caps..

They want to do a Golden State 2.0 so bad. Worst performance since Sullivan became coach. Can't even shoot the damn puck
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:11am On May 09, 2017
grin grin grin grin

Compare the fouls on Hayward and Exum to Curry.

Una try. I blame Brown for this. But they would face an angry GSW 3rd quarter. Hope they don't quit then.

LMAOOO. The choke job is in. Barry Trotz's decision to demote Ovechkin to the 3rd line has paid off thus far, this was the same change i wanted Joel Quenneville to make to the Blackhawks line.

5-2 final score. Game 7 in the nations capital.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:05am On May 09, 2017
You are Klay Thompson not Klay Harrison Barnes. Get aggresive and shoot this ball!
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:38am On May 09, 2017
Can't fault Jazz man, they played for pride. At the end, we were just too strong for them.

I know they challenged us in spurts but the games were alot easier than I envisaged.

Klay needs to be more confident going forward and the refs need to do a better job.

I pray Rockets and Spurs go to 7. At this rate, I kind of prefer playing against the Spurs (as they are not as threatening, offensively as the Rockets) but then again, they have Pop...

Special mention to Gordon Hayward again, barring injuries and playing for a sustainably long time, he would be a HOFer. No kidding- The kid can play.

STAND UP PEOPLE. We just swept a 51-win team.

Well, with a top 15 all nba 5 roster, it would be expected.

Kendrick Perkin: It wasn't the fact that he (Rey Allen) left, it was how he left the brotherhood.

Kevin Garnett: The opportunity to mend fences would always be open, especially as we get older. We have agreed that whenever the fences would be mended, Rajon Rondo will be making the reach out call to Rey Allen.

Rajon Rondo: Rey Allen wanted the ball more than any other player amongst us, and i always look out for my shooters.

Big Baby Davies: I have always had 90% fat, at 31, and all that money in the NBA, a come back is not impossible but i would have to get my body in better shape.

Doc Rivers: Rondo threw a bottle of water at me once.

Lol. Na report I report o. Just saying its not just me. Other people in the league are noticing. I think celtics are trying to play hard nosed ball. But there are many teams that do and keep it clean. I believe the extra stuff is why the wizards got animated. It will likely agitate cavs too

Man, KG is so wrong here. Guarantee this fence will never get mended, if Ray renains Ray. Gentlest and most unassuming of the big 3, but no way will this ever go down well. You invited even role players and left out Ray? Nah...

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 8:25am On May 09, 2017
Renowned dirty player Yes!! Not in the position to call out Olynyk? YES! Do the Celtics play dirty or too physical? Yes! Wizards and Hawks have made numerous remarks.

He's saying the truth yes but not the right person to speak. He should've kept quiet.
