There was a scare at the end sha, but we came out on top. The refs let Houston have their way a lot when they tried to steal balls from our guys. But it's aiit, we survived thanks to three massive plays from Caruso...a steal, a three and then a deflection.

The NBA and referees can shove this report in their "You know where"!

We just need to come out super aggressive tomorrow and end the game early. Kemba needs to take over this game, this is why we traded for him. He is the experienced head and needs to not settle. Tatum can not turn the ball over like he has been doing over the last 2 games. He needs to be more disciplined with the ball.
JB has been my Celtic of this series..I just need him to start early, stay aggressive and away from foul trouble.

Someone please tell Stephen Anthony Smith to shut the héll up about Steve Nash getting the Nets job. Which one is System again? Must everything be attributed to racism?

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. It puts pressure on the league for the next coach opening.

Im like you, i feel like hes whining. But sometimes you do what you have to. As an African, many of the privileges I take for granted is because someone whined and protested etc Im not going to knock SAS game. He is taking a big risk with this

So, Skip Bayless is getting a backlash for his comments about Dak Prescott not showing toughness for making his condition of depression public. And rightly so. That was insensitive. There's no one who scrutinizes sportsmen as harshly as Skip does. He sees sportsmen as people who are some kind of immortals or machines who are not supposed to have emotions. I just hope he learns something from this.

I hate skip but I can't do without him and unk Shay Shay grin


Skip is a cowboys fan so he is just anxious about the season. Remember Dak had the contract dispute prior to this so he is just seeing this as more distraction. It is hard to talk about depression in a sport built on mental and physical toughness. Really it's hard even as a regular guy.

That comment is a no no. There are a lot of things that are bigger than sports.

It’s like the clippers are playing with that team. They have a problem with consistency. A series that should be over, they are likely to prolong it because of carelessness.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:34am On Sep 12, 2020
I desperately need Kemba Walker to come off this slump..The Raptors are using the box in one defense against him and he is settling by not attacking the box!!! He has to attack the box immediately he comes off that screen. Kemba needs start his offense quicker, immediately he handles the ball. We need Kemba tonight!

We made this more difficult than it needed to be. In your face N. Nurse, I lost a lot of respect for the man and despite all his gamesmanship, bullying referees and dirty tactics he lost this series.

Shout out to Anunoby, FVV (815) and Lowry, these cats are legit dogs!

Thank you M. Smart on the defensive end and Tatum, my goodness, boy did you show up.

On to game 1

Pascal Siascam in the Celtics series:

14.9 PPG
38.2 FG%
12.5 3P%
Then the turnover yikes.

The Celtics starters have to play 45 minutes each for them to have a chance.

WB is a proper yam head.

I always felt Vogel was a better fit for Lakers than Lue... His defense when he was pacers head coach was consistently stingy

Vogel having both Javale and Dwight on the court to end the game was comical grin Perhaps he wants blood to flow properly in their legs in preparation for the next round where they'll be needed.
Re: The NBA Begins by Afr0mentalist: 3:44am On Sep 13, 2020
Lakers take the day quite comfortably. Feeling is clippers have a higher ceiling and Potential but the Lakers have shown more consistency and heart.
