I think we will just need to get more inside the paint point.Pass ball to players for easy dunks.

Easier said than done especially when fouls are not being called. Let us not kid ourselves they (again) gave Rockets more ticky tacky fouls than GSW. There was even a point the score board switched us to bonus when no foul call was given. I was like WTF?

@Eruditor pls is KD going to ready by game six?

Nope he is out for sure. It will be difficult if Curry clangs shots in the game but if he reverts to 15/16 Super Sayan mode, GSW will win game 6.

Shout out to Kevon Looney.

What haters will not mention again is Looney, Draymond, Steph and Klay were all drafted by the Warriors.

Yet they keep calling us names as if we did something wrong.

I have never seen a more overrated team than one who have 3 rings in the last 4 years thus far, drafts well, is well coached and can manage egos.

But underrated great teams and players are the crop that can not beat this team. LOL

If we are depending on him how is it the easy way out?

Now that you are rooting for the Lakers and not the Cavs are you not a mega band Wagoner?

My enemy grin grin I wailed last night and I know it must have given great joy to see me humiliated in Milwaukee.

How are you preparing for another season of tanking? including the summer league? angry

At least, I have one less team to worry about during the active season and I can no watch the rest of the postseason without any expectation.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 2:54pm On May 09, 2019
It's alright,the outcome of this series wasn't really surprising, we just thought it might last a little longer. Cheer up, as much as we wanted it, Kyrie is the square peg trying to fit in a round hole(despite being a superstar). Kyrie out.

Game 1 of the 2018 NBA finals, still the hardest game for me to watch. One of the greatest individual Finals performance, The underdogs had the favorites on their heels, then the refs, Hill and JR happened. One of the most blatant robberies i have ever seen in my life. This game broke me.

Whoever assembled this bucks team is a don. Bledsoe, Middleton, Giannis, Mirotic, Lopez. Plus Brogdon, Ilyasova and even george hill has been playing well. This team is really really good.

The fact that they were not on prime time TV for most of the year really led a lot of people to underestimate them. They had at almost every time through out this season probably the most important and understated pick up. From coach Bud, to brook lopez and ersan at the start of the season, to George hill and mirotic at the trade deadline.
Great job by their front office

I worried about the foul call also. I think they will foul Iguodala more cos of his field goal %. I believe if dreymond avr Iguoada can give 35 combine, klay and steph 60 combine and play good D. We gonna win

My worry is Looney getting into early foul trouble

Lool this makes a boatload of sense now that you think about it. I don't recall a big man ever making it such a habit of taking falls. He will go down in history as the most floppy big man of all time but appaz a lot of it is deliberate cos of the knees

The block on him by the Greek Freak where he almost got paralyzed and then the game where he nearly took off Regina King's Head stands out for me

I was literally just watching this video. But seriously, i know i've called him annoying because of his mouth before but you are just straight out killing this dude. What did he do to you?

How?? I just came across a hilarious article that chronicles his love for falling and even posited a plausible explanation for it echoing what the writer wrote.

I have nothing against Embiid, he's a bit of a loudmouth who talks a good one and fluctuates from annoying to a bit of a nuisance but his antics make him very easy to target.

Look at what he did in the Nets series, then Game 3 vs the Raptors when he was celebrating every single field goal he made only for Games 4 and 5 for him to look like a White Walker.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:21pm On May 09, 2019
Heres to hoping lebron requests a trade or gets traded. Screw this dumpster franchise he never should have signed with in the first place my goodness what was he thinking? If he wanted to be in LA why not the clippers? SMH!

Bit seriously, what's the essence of their discussion.

Because you have eaten and you have financial security. There are no wars in the US, no political upheaval, no boko haram, efficient health care system and a govt that cares. That is why some jobless women, most of whom just feed off their rich spouses will sit down and begin to discuss inanities. I can imagine a typical family in Nigeria working so hard for their next meal. When you're not sure of where your next meal will come from, I doubt that worrying about male attention would be topmost on your mind.

This life is truly unfair. Throw ball through hoops and get paid well while your sit-at-home wife grants senseless interviews. What's Stephen supposed to make of such show of senselessness? Please name one reasonable achievement of ayesha curry apart from the fact that she married a hardworking and phenomenal Bball superstar.

This girl fall my hand today I swear. Now its like I want the rockets to win. The one thing I hate the most is a jobless wife with no real sense of purpose outside marrying a successful husband. Can't to that. Mhen the interview was annoying. There are starving kids around the world as well as those ravaged by war, famine and disease but they wouldn't organize a discussion around that. No, they choose to show that the black mentality is genetic.

Sorry for the long writeup guys. Curry has always been my duse and u started supporting GSW because of him but his wife fall my hand big time today. Kai

So KD officially out for the series at the same point CP3 was last year. The basketball gods do have a great sense of humor, considering the beneficiaries then are the victims now

For all the Rockets braggadocio I'm pretty sure this injury or some kind of break more than anything else was what they were hoping for

The entire Lakers organization is totally dysfunctional and in shambles at this point. I don't know how this franchise will convince another superstar to join the Lakers going forward. At this stage, there is no head coach, no president of basketball operations, no idea what they are doing with trades that are inevitable?

Everyone is treating Jeanie Buss with kid gloves. But its obvious she has no business running the lakers. The leaks, infighting, inability to control narratives is ridiculous. And I have lost most of the respect I had for Magic. He had me fooled

What of the Warriors win? If they were hoping for an injury to a player for them to win, then I'm sorry for them. Funny enough, even if they beat the Warriors, the finals is going to be a crazy one for them especially if they face the Bucks.

I'm just saying that for all their tough talking I don't believe that deep down in their heart of hearts they believe they can beat the Warriors without something extraordinary going in their favor especially without home court. I personally think not winning Game 5 could bite them in the behind.

The pressure is on Houston now.

Lol I don't know what has to happen for the Lakers to realize that players are no longer falling over themselves to play for the Lakers.

The idea that they are this dream Free Agent destination is a strong form of delusion. LeNomad joining them kinda reinforced this delusion and in a way I kinda feel bad for LeNomad, he must be low-key regretting why he didn't just go to the Clippers with Steve Ballmer and his bottomless pockets
