We should ban you from analyzing basketball here for not knowing smaller players guard bigger ones fairly often and that LeNomad has been stifled by smaller and even significantly older guards in the past
At least hes not a compulsive liar like you.

That was a mistake. However this doesn't divorce from the fact that small guys guard bigger players all the time including your LeNomad.


Is this not 6'1 Rondo guarding your LeNomad? He forced 4 turnovers out of him in the half.

Didn't Jason Kidd guard LeNomad in Game 4 of the Finals? Remind me how many points LeNomad scored that night again
LMAO, One time is a mistake, maybe two. But you've been caught too many times small fry.


At least lebron didnt get locked down by Rondo. Jason kidd guarded lebron, do you want to stick by that or do i have to expose you again? nothing more despicable than a liar!

No you shameless clown, bogdan was for a couple of games but young was the primary defender plus they tried to throw different bodies at him.
I don't have time to dig up your other old ret@rded handles else we would have all had a good laugh at your gaffes. Shameless sodomite

Shut up you cross-eyed hippo.

So LeNomad who needed 21 shots to score 22 pts was not locked down. But KD who scored 21 pts from 8 shots was locked down?
Ret@rded hypocrite

Are you claiming Jason didn't guard LeNomad in that series? Lmaoo boy I wish you would
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:46am On Apr 20, 2019
Lmaooo. The closest thing to Kyrie is Tyreke Evans yet in a close game Nate McMillan leaves him on the bench for the last 5 minutes. I don't get these coaches half the time

He has been the best player for the Raptors. He has discovered a level of confidence and careful execution of plays that translates into high percentage shots. Also his wing span is a problem defensively as he alters and disrupts passing lanes and rebounds really good.

He's legit Kawhi-lite. Plus he can shoot 3's at a solid rate. His cardio is insane as well

I will excuse his bad shoulder because he has been dealing with soreness with that right shoulder even before the playoffs and injuries to the shoulder are very devastating for volume shooters because they affect the range of motion.
Truth is, PG13 alone can not carry the Thunder past the Blazers. They are going to need Brodie to remain as aggressive as he was tonight at the offensive end. They both have to average 25 or more points. I would love to see Donovan combine Schroeder and Westbrook at the top when the need points.

I was very happy with his aggressiveness on the offensive end. You guys are going to need that badly. He needs to approach game 4 with same mentality. He needs to prioritize his offense and let that build into his defense and this is because you guys need the W.
The personnel match up for this series is kind of even considering both teams have players who have length and the wing span to control the perimeter.

LMAO Fine it was a few days to your sisters 18th year birthday when i shagged her. That doesnt make me a nonce. Besides, i was 20.


JME is a certified don, a lyrical genius so i'll give you that. Giggs is one of the OGs but bruh, the man cant write a proper 16 bars to save his life, relies too much on hard beats and his voice even he knows this. Bugzy brought grime back? LOL! You're a friggin dweeb. Trick question chip or bugzy? Another trick question best LOTM and why? Commercial nonsense? any of the MCs i mentioned mainstream? Arent you the dolt who thinks rap is better because its more commercially successful? Like i said, i have never been to cyprus but its filled with unfathomable abhorrent crackheads so it seems like a seamless fit for you.

Any ways, i'm in too much of a good mood for your shenanigans to change that, only a few hours until bud beats the devil out of that dosser amir khan. So keep the lies and adhominems coming, this greek god is living his best life.

Lol. Showing me a picture of Rondo guarding Lebron is not enough proof. We all know defenders switch all the time during plays.

And Jason Kidd is 6"4, which isn't significantly smaller. It's just 4 inch difference. KD is what, 6" 10- 6" 11? And Patrick is 6" 1, so try again bro.

Giggs a grime legend still. Put some Respek on his name you Millennial

Lmaooo you know so little about the genre you say you rep. Grime had gone pop till Bugzy came along. All your favorite grime people had long gone commercial (can't blame em but it's the truth) Lool lyrically I'm not blown away by either guy (they wouldn't make a top 200 rappers list) but my respect for Bugzy is that he never went pop unlike most of the rest. Including Chip. Their beef was a draw in my eyes. You could roll with Chip because he kept dropping tracks that Bugzy didn't reply to. Or you could pick Bugzy cos Chip at a point needed all of 5 months to respond. Doesn't really matter

This clown thinks rap is better because of commercial appeal. What a Sergio Ignoramus grin grin. Like I said only an obtuse ape like you would compare Rap to Grime (an inferior imitation)

Amir Khan gets props for taking this fight in the first place. Win, lose or draw. The man has heart, it's just unfortunate the boxing gods gave him a weak chin. Same thing with my boy Overeem. It breaks my heart to see

I always admit when I'm wrong. Stop assuming carelessly

Stop arguing nonsense. Rondo forced LeNomad to 4 turnovers in a half and he ended up shooting 10-21. You're being a hypocrite if you say Beverley shutdown KD while he got 21 pts from 8 shots but Rondo didn't do a job on your MCM that he only got 22pts from 21 shots

Now you're just splitting hairs. What of the weight advantage? Or is weight not part of size? LeNomad is at least 40 pounds heavier than LeNomad so don't try to use that sorry excuse. And the single most critical factor. Jason Kidd was 38 grin grin. You should be ashamed for your MCM honestly

I have shown you bigger guys have been repeatedly slowed down and guarded by much smaller players. That you could even dispute this makes me question your basketball knowledge entirely

Yeah credit to him for toughing it out with that shoulder injury. Still think the numbers are really poor but they are understandable.

Brodie still shot bricks yesterday but the key difference maker was that all the role players stepped up. (Grant, Schroeder, Ferguson) role players typically play better at home. They are also losing the battle of the bigs. I thought Stephen Adams was supposed to be an elite defensive big. Appaz I was wrong because he is getting torched by Enes Kanter in this series

I'd say 10/21 is not totally shutting down. That's close to 50% shooting. And it means he was able to take shots. But Durant was only allowed to take 8 shots, lol.

Same way KD is almost 40 pounds heavier than Patrick. And Jason Kidd being 38 is even an added advantage, because age cones with experience.

I mean, name a "GOAT" big guy that has been successfully shut down by a midget just like the way KD got shut down by Patrick. I'm not talking about Metta World Peace guarding Michael Olowokandi

Didnt i just say Hollow man is one of the OGs? Doesnt mean hes not one of the most lyrically lacking grime MCs period. That quote about "kings of lyin" i always like to use is from a giggs song BTW, from santans line. Only two songs in wamp to dem are worth listening too, the rest is hot trash. Dont even get me started on his latest project. Look what the cat dragged in is considered a giggs classic but is a microcosm of his flaws. Grime beats are lacking to put it mildly which is why lyrics are so important.

Lmaooo you know so little about the genre you say you rep. Grime had gone pop till Bugzy came along.

Or you could pick Bugzy cos Chip at a point needed all of 5 months to respond. Doesn't really matter
LMAO Look at this casual? Just because you know a few names doesnt mean you know jack sh-t about the grime scene. Like him or not, the main person behind the grime resurgence is Big stormz, big mike, the problem. I dont rate him too much but anyone who wont admit that is a hater or just doesnt know. The grime scene didnt start popping when bugzy sent shots, it started popping when chip came back and set all their arses on fire, chip alone stood his ground against about ten hating a-s MCs. Bugzy owes his career to chip. Plus why wont it take 5 months for chip to respond? Chip was popular, everyone knew everything about him. No one knew bugzy, how do you expect him to write a diss track about someone he knew nothing about? What did he do when he got the ammo he needed though? he shredded the man to pieces while bugzy was busy repeating one thing over and over again! You actually believe he went pop? LOL Bugzy stan, hip hop is not Pop. Chip is a pioneer for british music, i remember bumping to london boy in secondary school back when he was still chipmunk! Bar for bar very few can come at chip, like he said "they can out shoot me they can out stab me but moms life they cant out verse me".

This clown thinks rap is better because of commercial appeal. What a Sergio Ignoramus grin grin. Like I said only an obtuse ape like you would compare Rap to Grime (an inferior imitation)
LOL This clown doesnt know that Grime evolved more from reggae than rap. Thats why most of its pioneers are jamaican. Like kano said "before i knew the whole alphabet i knew zunguzunguguzunguzeng" I told you you dont know anything you casual. Only reason you im.beciles are bumping to most rap songs is mainstream appeal period, no substance in them whatsoever.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

No, this will be a massacre, he gets no props from me, he knows he has everything to gain and nothing to lose. I get its a world championship fight but he should go and fight Kell Brook straight after. No excuses cause thats the fight that really makes sense.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody:
Imagine comparing the defense of the 2011 mavericks to these clippers LMAO! Was easy to guard lebron at the time cause all they did was stay off him and dare him to shoot, cause that dallas team was one of the best defensive teams of this era period. Marion, Chandler, stevenson and so many other seasoned defensive veterans. The whole team philosophy was to stop lebron from doing his thing and lebron in turn looked like absolute sh-t. Like he admitted, they made him do things he didnt want to do and he wasnt ery good player so because of it he got better. As for rondo he has one of the best basketball minds in recent times period. He guarded lebron only from the third quarter not the whole game and most times he came with a double team with perkins usually waiting after lebron posted rondo up. Plus lebron managed to create shots for his team mates while being guarded by rondo. Wasnt even a playoffs game, they knew better than to try that in the playoffs. In any case saying kidd or rondo locked lebron up is friggin ignorant! The only idiots bold enough in their stupidity to claim kidd or rondo shut down lebron reside on this thread.


Now compare that to patrick beverly hounding you and restricting you to 8 friggin shots. Imagine sending tapes to the league to complain about how patrick beverly is defending you. Thing is whether you as- licking cunts want to admit it or not, KD is just soft, period. What A40 the lying sack of sh-t wont tell you is the same 38 year old Kidd locked down 7 ft kevin durant the same year. And lets not forget Tony allen who constantly bullied durant!
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:11pm On Apr 20, 2019
As a newly pledged warriors fan, its obvious to me that kevin durant is so much better than steph curry its not even funny, i cant stand this fact. Thats why KD will win finals MVP again this year. Fvck KD hes so smart, got three rings with three FMVPs and is about to slide out and branch out on his own! He just swindled the warriors organization, SMH.

Meanwhile our lord and savior steph curry will never make the finals again as the king assembles his team of unstoppable titans about to make the western conference his b-tch like he did the East. cry
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 2:31pm On Apr 20, 2019
Pascal Siakam is the truth. The real Playoff P. He is Giannis-lite. Obviously not the freak of an athlete MVPannis is but a much better shooter. Still can not believe He only picked up a Basketball aged Seventeen. The improvements He has made over the last 8 years or so is truly astonishing. If He keeps improving at this rate, a Top5 in the MVP votings is not beyond the realms of possibilities.

Wiggins really and truly should hang His head in shame as it looks like He is the only one that has shown no slight improvement in His game whatsoever.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 4:20pm On Apr 20, 2019
you don't have to claim to be a warriors fan to express an opinion. I guess you are pained that your king is just not able to surmount the team. Until KD leaves we will enjoy this partnership while it lasts. We have now confirmed that the East was definitly weak. Your king could not even make the playoffs once he moved west. And KD is not so much better than Curry, maybe a little better(his height comes to mind). The golden state needed him as much as he needed the golden state. And i don't understand why you would make a fuss about this. It's stale,thus far stephen curry has been as effective as KD. I guess your case is just that of a frustrated lebrick fan.

Wonderful post but please don't take the bait.

Notice how KD is a b!tch but Kawhi, PG, AD should play with Bron and somehow Bron is still the goat.

People hate KD because he made the best possible move for his own career. They are going to hate him again after this season as he won't go anywhere.
