Roland17:Books will be written on how not to "Basketball Operations" using Magic as an example. It's insane that the GOAT PG did such a terrible job constructing and evaluating talent it's unreal and worse than Maradona in World Cup 2010 You need to read the breakdown of just how many gaffes he made. While I wouldn't exonerate Luke for his dodgy coaching, Magic's decision making left him no chance. I mean they let Brook Lopez walk and Milwaukee paid $3.3m for him, the Lakers didn't even make an offer while they spent a combined $25m on Rondo, Stephenson and KCP. Lopez played all 81 games and has made 60 more 3's than LA's best shooter. From the Center position! |

Roland17: Take off the Bron hate glasses for a minute...Forgive and pray for the KING Bringing King James to LA was Magic's biggest amd most successful move. Unfortunately, that was his ONLY noteworthy move. Everything else was bungled imo. The Lonzo situation was handled badly. Luke should have been let go. Inability to keep deals in the works secret. Constantly showing his hands at the negotiating table. I love Magic. But just like Jordan, or Dr J or...the best ballers make the worst judges of talent. I have no idea why. Lakers need to run a tight ship...coach needs to go. Leaks in bball operations and front office need to be plugged. Lebron needs to lay low...either be a baller or a social media star. Ironically, these are the things Pat Riley imposed on the big 3 in miami before LBJ bolted. Let me borrow Pastor donlittle's mic for a quick sermon: DONT RUN FROM DISCIPLINE. IT CAN REDUCE YOUR ACHIEVEMENT SIGNIFICANTLY. |

I heard Giannis declined to be in Space Jam 2. I think I'm completely sold on this kid already A throwback to the old school ninjas. Not trying to make no friends |

A40:Niggas declining to chill with the king. You either chill while you are ahead, or see yourself become a villain. You hate to see it |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:04pm On Apr 10, 2019 |
donlittle25:I don't know why you would want to chill with him when your aim should be to dethrone him. Especially if you're supposed to be a generational talent like Anthony Davis (in a way that's what would always keep KD out of the GOAT discussion) I read Giannis's story. The kid is all about the basketball man. He's not here for Hollywood or GQ life |

A40: Funny i read his story just a few days back. The few times ive been to europe, especially the non english speaking countries, you will just see young unemployed black youth chilling like an eyesore everywhere. selling fake trinkets then running once police is near. Honestly they all looked like giannis. dark, tall, bushy hair. Only difference is Giannis found a way out. Giannis understands poverty in a way an American cannot. The young man appears to have his head on straight. More power to him. 2 Likes |

The NHL playoff is here. Consecutive seasons without making the postseason is no joke for my Blackhawks. We need to go into the draft with a different direction. I think the core of Kane and Toews can still good runs as shown in the pursuit of the wildcard spot but they ran out of energy and burst because we relied heavily on both. We need to find a way to continue to help DaBrincat who was my player of the year to continue to grow so he can become that 3rd corner piece. |

I was impressed by the recent poll results that showed 73% of players currently think MJ is the GOAT. You would notice that the players who actually play this game are unanimous about who the GOAT is both present and retired. It's so-called analysts that will always have contrary opinions Secondly why y'all do my boy Russ like this?

@A40 people hating on westbrooks triple dubs . I have to say though, WB's stats dont have the effect that a triple double should. So I went and looked it up. It turns out Westbrook is top 10 in rebounds. Top 5 in defensive rebounds, but not in the top 50 for offensive rebounds . So those rebounds are not carrying the weight the should...there should be a healthy mix of 2 or 3 OREB in 10 total rebounds for a center/forward. This means Westbrook is more really a double double guy, 20pts, 10 assists. Still rock solid, all star material. But not the type of rating the triple dubs are giving him |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:09am On Apr 11, 2019 |
@A40 You no dey watch the NHL playoff? Your Pengs are struggling with the forecheck of the Islanders. How about the lightening surrendering a 3 goal lead and lose to the Jackets. I Dey enjoy the early upsets. Since my Blackhawks are on vacation, I Dey support my usual.. Any team that has P.K Subban |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:24am On Apr 11, 2019 |
Roland17:Your team lacks depth. Gone are the days where you are good with performance from just your top 2 lines. Your 3rd and 4th line has to bring something to the table. I also think your defensemen especially Brent Seabrook is pretty much finished. You guys don't have an NHL caliber goalie either so I don't know what miracle can happen even next year. The decline has been slow and steady since that suprise Preds sweep |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:29am On Apr 11, 2019 |
birdman:Triple dubs are really so watered down now I don't put too much stock to it. It's so easy to generate with zero consequence to actual outcome of the game I no too send am The way Russell chases it, dragging rebounds with his bigs has spoiled the fun for me 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:33am On Apr 11, 2019 |
OKC just hit the jackpot! With the 6th seed they avoid Golden State till potentially the Conference Finals. Likely now though we are probably going to see a Rockets, Warriors second round. That loss on Tuesday night dooms the Rockets to that fate However something tells me the Nuggets might give OKC problems (spoiler alert: Nuggets to beat Spurs) |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:37am On Apr 11, 2019 |
Roland17:I saw highlights. Our defensemen Maata and Letang cost that game. If I see Maata in that lineup Game 2 we are losing that game for sure. What an errorist These Jackets na initial gra gra. Na so them do last year. Won Games 1 and 2 on the road then lost 4 straight. However this one they were crowning the Lightning Stanley Cup Champions. It never works that way. The playoffs are a different beast Some really good matchups this year. Jets and the Blues and Golden Knights vs Sharks |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 8:28am On Apr 11, 2019 |
The rockets finishing 4th means a potential 2nd round matchup with GSW. IMO this is their best bet, since they as a team actually believe they can beat GSW as constructed. A second round matchup mean that the rockets players are already in playoffs mode and at the same time still relatively fresh. This is perhaps the most optimized round for the rockets in a series against the GSW. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 8:35am On Apr 11, 2019 |
For Denver the final standings played out the way they hoped. Apart from GSW the only playoff team the nuggets seems to have problems with on a consistent basis is the Rockets, so avoiding them in the 2nd round is a perfect outcome for them. Now through both the first round(if they defeat the Spurs) and the second round the Nuggets actually have a good chance especially with home court advantage |

Is it just me or this D Wade thing is too much? Kilode Nah!!! How would it now be if LeBron is retiring?? Or if na LeBron do all these serenren the haters will swarm him like bees even though he deserves times 5 of this D Wade thing. Anyways, one thing I'm for is how this is all in Paul Pierce's face. I always wanted him come out like the mumu That he is since that day he said the Celtics shouldn't play Isaiah Thomas's tribute video on his Jersey night. The fans are not letting him have it easy and E sweet my belle die. |
