Nice Buzzer beater by Siakam. Toronto got this

Kawhi ended that quarter strong. The second half gone be massive

Khanben:
The Knicks want a big 3

3 supermax contracts? Can they afford that? And I don't think any of those stars would be willing to be shortchanged at this point of their career.

Khanben:
. David Griffin will prefer the Knicks package to that of nearly every other team, as long as the Celtics do not include Tatum

But according to Stephen A, the Knicks have a 95% chance of landing both KD and Kyrie. If so, the Knicks are out of this conversation.

aliondo:
Wow..we have the Pelicans GM on this thread. .

Lol. I was thinking the same. Damn

KarnThornheart:
Screw your boys. This isn't the time for sentimentality. It's about rings Erneh!

Isn't it better to keep the pick and get a good free agent this summer? Say Kemba or even anybody vaguely good at basketball. I think the future will be bright.

darkelf:
I like you a lot bro.

You are a good person deep down and I know that

Lol

KarnThornheart:
How about using the 4th pick to trade for AD or Beal if the Pelicans or wizards are game?

We'd still have to throw in a few cogs, say one of Ingram/Lonzo/Kuzma, and a future pick. I ain't ready to part with my boys. I say we wait till next year.

darkelf:
Mtcheww

Look here mate:

MJ

Kobe

Hakeem

Magic Johnson

Larry Bird

Lebron (would have put him after Wilt chamberlain but he may wail)

You might as well put Robert Sacre, Mike Olowokandi and Kwame Brown ahead of Lebron.

Lakers have the no. 4 pick. I think the gods are in our favour.

Patrick33:
I love to come in here and read the comments and arguements but i've never written anything down..i must say its really nice to meet guys with Passion for BB in a football loving country..Congrats to any Raptor fan in here..great game but the bucks gonna take it in game 5 .. The klaw vs the greak freak is gonna be a hell of a Match up..def better than joel vs giannis if the sixers won...Now i see people got hate for bron..i don't really like the guy but to compare him with KD is kinda dumb..KD has been great this season and in the playoffs no doubt but whatever he has done now..Bron has definitely been doing it..weather he would've taken the lakers to the playoffs if he was fit or not...doesn't mean he isn't great..he definitely is top 3 after MJ and mamba...Just give credit where its due..bron is great,KD is great but ill definitely pick bron over KD anytime..i mean one is playing with 4 other all stars...he is having a great season but for me.i repeat for me the best players in the regular season and in this playoff is Giannis and kawhi then KD comes in third..

Receive blessing for this

darkelf:
Too 2 ??

Lmao. He's top 5 at most

According to you

Any arguments?

.

donlittle25:
you have a top 50 all time player on your roster and you are rebuilding?
Could it be... Ah nevermind

I don't know who the top 50 all time you're talking about is, maybe Rondo, but we have a top 2 all time player as well.

And you can rebuild with anything, top 50, top 1000. It's the situation the Lakers were before that makes it a rebuilding, and not anything else.

First Chris Carter says nobody's going to the Lakers, because of Lebron, and now he's saying if anyone's going to the Lakers, it's because of Lebron. I'm tired of these guys.

Roland17:
Did he really overplay his hands or was he trying to get his due? He is a championship winning coach albeit with Lebron and by offering 3 years the Lakers were tying his contract to Bron’s which he deemed disrespectful and rightfully so. Worse still, they were going to choose his coaching staff, now that is going too far and setting him up for failure already.
After failing to agree with Lue, the Lakers were boxed into a corner because they could not offer another coach a longer termed contract because it would raise a lot of dust with the fans and Bron, so they offered Vogel the same 3 years.
Make no mistake about it, people have become wary of the Lakers and how they are conducting business. I don’t know how much improvement Vogel will bring to the Lakers, maybe they should have been courageous enough to just hire Jason Kidd if you consider the work he did with a young Giannis and Middleton.
I also don’t know how secure Vogel will feel with having Kidd on the bench, knowing fully well that Kidd could usurp his position.

The Lakers are on a rebuilding mission and it won't be nice if they continued dishing out five-year contracts. Look how Luke turned out. What they're doing now is testing the waters sort of. I think three years is just about the right way to go. Do a good job and an extension could be on the offing. Do a shite job and you're booted out without worrying about a hefty payoff.

KarnThornheart:
Piece of advice based on personal experience, if you're rooting against the Warriors, hoping for some kind of miracle. You're in for a very rude awakening. Might as well embrace the inevitable.

Naah, I strongly feel those eastern teams have a genuine chance of causing an upset. Especially Bucks.

.

KarnThornheart:
Lol! We the warriors are winning it all in 8. Run tell that.

Lol, we the warriors

KarnThornheart:
All these eastern teams competing over who gets swept in the finals

An Eastern team is winning it all. Just relax

Problem ti ẹ nìyẹn.
I called your analysis nonsense and they turned out to be nonsense as everyone here predicted. Not my fault

I'm not following

smoosh20:
I called your analysis nonsense not dumb or stupid. Stop feeling guilty. I'll wait for your next take. You've been wrong on everything so far hence your guilty conscience.

Dumb, stupid, nonsense...what's the difference?

smoosh20:
You still skipped where I quoted that mess of a thing you called analysis where you were saying Houston can live without shooting three unlike warriors. Good thing you exposed yourself about regurgitating every nonsense you see on TV. Lying won't help you. Only you, Charles Barkley, Will Cain and some other clowns said Houston will win. Others think they had a chance. Baba, with all due respect because of your age I'll just say you don't know anything. Absolutely nothing.

Lol. What I analysed sounded dumb to you cos you disagree with it. That's your nature, everything you don't like looks stupid.

Get your facts right bro. Shannon, Skip, Broussard, Max all tipped Houston to win game 6.

Lol. I may not know anything, but I still know more than you.

smoosh20:
Sorry o Baba, even if you're 55, I'd call you a novice and an ignorant fellow (it's not an insult. It's a description of someone who doesn't know and doesn't want to) about this basketball thing. Cos none of your predictions made sense and when we tell you, you'll argue and say folks are insulting you. If you have no knowledge about things, ask. Anyways you're wrong as usual about when I started watching the NBA and how I became a Warriors fan. You're wrong and has always been when it comes to basketball. You should ask questions more often. An elder should know these things

Lol. Virtually every analyst agreed that Rockets would win game 6, does that make them ignorant or less knowledgeable? What's your definition of knowledge sef? This is just you trying too hard to defend yourself. You're still a newbie and there's nothing you can say to change my mind. Benji93 has agreed that he started watching NBA within the past 5 years, do the same bro. There's nothing bad in it.

benji93:
How is it a problem, if anyone developed interest in the NBA, a few years ago courtesy of the beautiful game the GSW play? Do you get a trophy for following the NBA for over 20 years?, given this technology age, do you think any interested person cannot find materials about the NBA over the last 20/30 years? What you wan claim that is not available on the internet. Elder ko, Elder ni.

Lol. Are you offended? I was referring to guys like Smoosh20. Are you like him?

smoosh20:
Wrong drug. Try again..

"Warriors are cheating", because they drafted and developed three all stars, traded for Iguodala and signed KD in free agency. All these nonsense about the Warriors plus your zero knowledge about the NBA and as Nick Wright's spokesman, you really need to stop talking about basketball and go learn. It's simple. And I'm not throwing insults or being immature here.

All these newbies. When they get a little knowledge about basketball they want to confront their elders. I can swear you started following bball within the last five years, like all GS fans in Nigeria. And I'm not throwing insults or being immature here.

smokers:
thanks bro I'll wait for the off season to see how the teams shape up. LA is a mess right now and Boston is not far away from a mess.

A team like the Lakers will always return to glory, no matter what. But if you choose a team like GS, your happiness might just last two more years, and after that, they go extinct until probably two decades from now. And I'm quite sure you wouldn't want to wait that long.

Why I love this game

smoosh20:
This your statement makes you look like Ersan on haloperidol. Someone doing everything right is cheating the system. Lmao

Lol. You sound like...Smoosh20...on paroxetine
