Why's everybody trying their utmost best to avoid the Lakers in the first round na? The Nuggets are getting blown out by Portland and the Jazz blowing out the Kings. The Clippers lost to the freaking Thunder the other night. We're not even that good this year Plus LeBron is old and both he and AD are coming off of injuries. This is the best time to play the Lakers. I don't know what everybody is just doing. ![]() |
SmooshCHN:You never even beat Grizzlies finish you dey talk of 7th seed |
mattfeuter:I am o my brother ![]() |
steady986:As expected, Wizards beat Hornets to take the 8th spot. They'll play Celtics in the 7th/8th play-in game and probably win. Nets vs Wizards 1st round it is. The basketball gods are good to us. |
The Wizards about to take 8th place from the Hornets tomorrow (they're both 33-38 and they play each other tomorrow). Then beat the Celtics in the play-in to win 7th position. Wizards vs Nets 1st round matchup. Brodie vs KD

Lol. Person open mouth talk say LeBron isn't/wasn't the most important player to the Lakers championship run . Wonderment. Sha, everybody get em mouth |
The Clippers are wise. Very wise. They don't want that Lakers smoke in the first round. ![]() |
So Giannis twice prevailed against your Ojuelegba slim reaper and all of a sudden the thread is quiet . The Nets don't want this matchup in the playoffs, they truly don't. And Giannis didn't even guard him until crunch time, especially in the first game. And each time KD tried to guard him we saw how useless it was.And don't tell me Harden didn't play, because Harden wouldn't have prevented Giannis from averaging 43 in the two games. Even playing Harden would mean reduced minutes for Blake and Jordan, the two guys they constantly threw at Giannis. We go dey here dey watch ![]() |
At this point, Jokic is surely the MVP. I've seen enough. You lose your sidekick to injury and what follows is you leading your team on a 9-1 run. Naah, give that man his MVP. |
KNIGHTBlaed:Lol. Guy you funny no be small ![]() |
KNIGHTBlaed:Remind me when it's the playoffs. |

Blueelf:Where is the lie there? Harden is a better offensive player than Curry. And there's no shame in that. Lol. Maybe you yourself don't discredit LeBron, but don't act like there aren't people on this thread who do it for fun. Lol. Why will my bp rise because of Curry? All I want him to do is to lead a team to comparable success all by himself, just like the King did, then we can consider putting him in the same sentence with LeBron.So who exactly beat LeBron? Is it Curry or KD? Because in my mind KD has 2 FMVPs and Curry has zero. You can't eat your cake and have it. When LeBron had the full complement of his team Curry shamefully surrendered a 3-1 lead and lost to LeBron. That you're even mentioning Curry's name at all is a mystery to me. ![]() |
Blueelf:Leave Gary Payton alone and address the other names that are there. Gary Payton that was nothing more than a 37-year old washed up utility player when he went to the Heat. |
We're seeing it with our very eyes how the Lakers are trash without LeBron. Even with AD. But when I make a case for LeBron being MVP people go open mouth waaaa begin yarn okpata. |
birdman:Preach |
Blueelf:11 free throws, don't assume. But who cares how many free throws he makes? Embiid makes a lot of free throws too. Curry is not a better offensive player than Harden. Never has been, never will be. |
Russell Westbrook. That's the name. |
When James Harden was lighting up the league in 18/19 nobody was shouting MVP (except me of course, my receipts are here ). Man literally went 32 games scoring at least 30, averaging 41 in the process. But here we are with Curry going on an 11-game streak scoring 30 and his shameless fanboys are screaming MVP. Not to even add to the fact that he's languishing in 9th position. In 18/19 Harden finished 4th with a record if 53-29, just 4 games behind 1st placed Warriors.That was the biggest robbery in the history of this game. Las las this game na about love and hate. Harden isn't as loved as Curry. If it were Curry that had those numbers in 18/19 he's winning the MVP straight up. Fans don't like Harden, and that's just the plain truth.

aliondo:They won't. But at this time these clubs don't really give a hoot about FIFA or UEFA. This is a mutiny, a deserting of some sorts. And they have the upper hand because these are the biggest clubs in the world. They are/were the ones making UEFA what it actually is/was. Right now UEFA and FIFA should be the ones on their knees begging for a dialogue, not issuing threats. |
This is not related to basketball but something huge has happened in the world of football (the real football, not gridiron) https://www.arsenal.com/news/european-super-league-announced |
That Kyrie/Schroder matchup is the matchup I really wanted to see in the first leg. Offense meets defense. Schroder be like " you can dance all you want but you ain't dropping 40 on me" ![]() |
joshboo:The health of the Lakers might be an issue, even though I think KD, Kyrie and Harden are just too much firepower for anyone. I fear that AD's achilles is something like what KD suffered in 2019 and so I don't think he'll be 100% in the playoffs. I've already given this championship to Brooklyn. |
This man no just get shame ![]()

The Nets taking out their starters as a result of the blowout but the Lakers not doing likewise because it's their role players who have been on the court since the start ![]() |
I come in peace ![]() |
osayi90:Lol. You said all these things only to bring up defense? I thought you were going to mention rebounding, playmaking, passing and all the rest .KD's defense is just as good as any average player's defense out there. We know the great defenders in this league. We know guys that have at least 2 very good attributes. Harden is a great scorer and also a great playmaker. KD's defense can't even be mentioned in the same sentence with Harden's playmaking in terms of second best attribute. Or LeBron's floor control/passing, or Giannis' defense. All these are their second best attributes. E say na defense Someone that has not made one single all-defense team in his entire career. Go sleep my friend |
I've said it that the only thing KD knows how to do is score. Yet blind fans want to put him in the same sentence with LeBron all the time. His value to a team is once again being questioned by the amazing run the Nets are having without him, just like it was questioned when he went to a Warriors team that didn't need him.

Thanos:I'll try not to pay much attention

Stephen A sometimes though. So you castigate Westbrook for trying as hard as he can to lead a team to win a championship, but you somehow go soft on KD for joining a 73 win team with the reigning MVP, talmbout he went there and still was their best player, talmbout he still elevated them. Ni*ga if Westbrook went to join the Warriors he still would have elevated them. But he didn't, if not he would have gotten an easy ring by now. It's still this same Stephen A who's bashing Blake Griffin and Aldridge for joining KD and Kyrie after falling short of leading their former teams to championships. Such hypocrisy. |
Afromentalist:

Thanos:It's nigh on impossible for them not to win. I mean, look at the firepower. Look at the form they're in even without KD and Kyrie in and out of the team. Aldridge was the decider. Imagine having 5 guys that can give you 25 on any given night. |
