I disagree, if you watched the 1st quarter and 2nd, you would see that Blake was successful at keeping Giannis away from the rim. He was scoreless in the 1st Q and less than 10 in the 2nd and finished the game with 14 points. Gianis struggled when Blake was his primary defender as he matched him pound for pound. The Bucks will make some adjustments as they look to close out early. One of the disparity in this series is the bench and that is what gave the Bucks the W tonight. Gianis was not good tonight.
I didnt watch the game. I will watch the next, if only to see if Blake can repeat the performance. Even the mosquito of LA gave Durant headache for one game grin

Lol. Beverley don suffer. Griffin may not play the next game because he limped out in the 4th, I think he aggravated the knee injury.

Yeah, the playoffs was more fun when the Warriors and Cavs were sweeping. Blind bats looking for talk because the Lakers didn't make playoffs and no one is giving them attention.
I can't remember the last time I saw an interesting 1st round. No one's complaining except LeStans

LOL You're the one complaining about how some need attention yet you're the one who gives them the most attention cause every time you post here you must post something about them. If you are so sure thats what they want and you are so sure what they're saying doesnt bother why dont you just simply ignore it?? cheesy

We the warriors are about to three peat!!

Uncle, it's good you acknowledge seeking attention. I just stated fact. Run along now.

LOL We've already proved that Lebron and KDs case were extremely different so stop trying to compare the two. Besides, lebrons performance was more about him being passive than anyone doing anything to him. Heck i could have guarded him in that series and he still would have sucked. I didnt compare the mavs with any team, i just said they are a better defensive team than people realize. I also didnt say lebron was bad, i said he said he wasnt a very good player

"I wasn't that good of a player in that series. I wasn't a complete basketball player," James told reporters, per TheScore.

"Dwane Casey drew up a game plan against me to take away things that I'm good at and to try to make me do things that I wasn't very good at.

"So, he's part of the reason I am who I am today."

Stop trying to put words into my mouth to win an argument. Everyone who watched that dallas series knows it wasnt about just kidd, everyone who watched kds game vs the clippers knows he let beverly get to him period. Stop trying to debate that.
So he just chose to be passive? The defense did nothing to get him off his comfortable spots? This is a very irresponsible take to make.

Even your Dwane Casey quote contradicts your statement.

Jason Kidd did a job on your boy. A fact corroborated even by Miami Heat beat writers. All your long salaye on this matter is basically your mea culpa as you have reversed position on your previous takes

I have no need to put words in your mouth as I have won the argument already. While it is clear to all and sundry that KD battled albeit with a smaller guy, your man LeNomad pretty much surrendered and had his will to win a Final taken away by a 38 year old grin grin You should be as mad at him as you're mad at Amir Khan

Not only positive but positive for more than one substance. Apart from steroids he was also blood doping (EPO) and with EPO like with Dillashaw there is no chance of tainted supplements because its only injectable. Thats the same thing lance armstrong was doing and is about the most egregious form of doping. Clenbuterol, turinabol here and there in small quantities i can give a fighter the benefit of the doubt, i did it with jon jones twice (and still do it before every fight since USADA agrees hes pulsing) and with canelo. But this guy is just a piece of sh-t and should be permanently banned from boxing! SMDH!
I agree. He came off as a complete jackass at the prefight conference and I just assumed that was his lame strategy to get into AJ's head. I didn't know he had more sinister plans. What a wasteman! He pissed on a shot at $6m

ReysonDrabek:
I really hope ortiz gets the fight but hes probably too dangerous to take on a short term notice, Hearn just got an excuse to fill the spot up with another farmer. Fvck the heavyweight division, a bunch of bitch boys and gaping vaginas!
Ortiz is AJ's preferred choice. The fighter that would give him the most credibility on US soil. Actually it's up to Ortiz to take the fight at short notice. AJ has been in training camp and is likelier in a better fighting shape than King Kong

Big Baby Miller's B sample arrived. Also positive! This mofo had been juicing. Ban this wasteman from the sport permanently
Juice or no juice AJ would still have smacked Him around like the Big Baby He is. The Dude is an idiot sha. I can not for the life of me phantom why an Individual would take that risk months before the biggest pay day of His career?

is this how the rockets will beat warriors? With Harden shooting 2/20?
The same harden that brought them to the playoffs will shoot them out the playoffs. Chocker

It's time for Kyrie to put the Pacers out of their misery.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:03pm On Apr 21, 2019
Harden shot 3/22 and the Rockets still won the game. I can't see Curry or KD shootig 3/22 and GS still win the game.
Re: The NBA Begins by Killrhymz: 8:29pm On Apr 21, 2019
Boston onto the next round, good luck to them when they face the raptors.

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 10:49pm On Apr 21, 2019
Steve Kerr is just annoying most of the time. Like he's showing pity to other coaches by not letting the Stars play. Why is Curry sitting for Pete's sake?

This Celtics team is very unpredictable. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Raps too. I wouldn't even be surprised if they beat anybody at all.

I am glad we had the focus to finish up this series today. Hats off to Nate McMillan and his team.

Off to Milwaukee and the Bucks.

It is scary what a healthy Kawhi can do. I was not even aware that he played game 3 with a flu. The man is holding the present and future of the Raptors in his hands with his post season decision.

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.
Billy Donovan is reading this thread. Lol. He has added Felton to the combo. That is his best choice to compensate for the lack of scoring from other positions.
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 3:37am On Apr 22, 2019
Dame showed some life towards the end of that 2nd quarter.
Na CJ dey carry the blazers for most of the game

Kanter really torching Adams whenever he is in...So lucky Nurkic is out...

Durant continues to shine while Curry takes the back seat.

That has been sad to watch. Adams is a liability on offense and now defense for you guys and on the other end the Blazers are putting a lot of pressure on him with Kanter.
Your big guys and that includes Noel have to offer something on the offense.
