Lol. Later this same person will come on here and say analytics/advanced stats are the most flawed stats of all time. Carry on

birdman:
Nuggets are for real. They have a rotation that can come back from 20pts down any day. If not for big bodies Lakers threw at Jokic, this would be 1-1.

Yea they do. Which is why I'm going for Lakers in 4

DeeMain:
I agree.That Dozier was a fearless problem from the bench! If only he made those free throws...

They've just discovered an x-factor maybe

Afr0mentalist:
For losing this game, Denver just lost the series.

Lakers in 5 - 6.

Lakers in 4

But moving forward, we can't be sloppy like that. How did a 16-point lead go down to -1? Guys were just missing shots. But credit to Malone sha, he had the balls to play Dozier down the stretch. If he could shoot free throws I don't think we would be celebrating by now. And Murray is a legit baller, damn.

Did I hear someone question AD's mentality?

The refs trying so hard to give Denver this game.

So Covington took a swipe at LeBron after his fight. We bout to pull up in his front porch to have a word

Lol. The narrative is slowly changing to "the refs want to give Lakers the series". Carry on

I swear I see this argument every time

Afr0mentalist:
Bro it was Garbage time already. The game was over 6 minutes before the end, they even let Dudley play.

I know. But these bench guys need to up their game whenever they're called upon if they truly want to stake a claim in the rotation. They can't just chill and leverage on the lead the main guys set every time. Every damn time since the playoffs began they have been thoroughly outscored in garbage time. And it's not as if they're playing against starters. Yesterday they closed out the game with something like 6–18. They need to play hard, because honestly that's their only chance to be competitive.

Dwight wants all the smoke
Second photo is him getting in on the Nuggets discussions during a free throw And he had every right to be there. Gotta love that character

I'm annoyed that this game didn't end in a blowout. We literally stopped playing from the 8th minute mark in the 4th and a 27-point lead was cut to 12 in the end. The bench guys gotta do better.

Boy, Rondo is such a great leader, constantly barking orders and talking to players one on one on every stop.

It's amazing how Kobe had only one MVP award and yet Giannis has 2. Something's not right about that stat.

But having said that, Giannis was a pandemic away from losing the award, because LeBron was on a roll when the league shut down.

This Heat team reminds me of 2011 Mavericks

The Celtics shat the bed in this one

The Heat ain't playing. Damn

iamJ:
as at the time he made those predictions, things were looking that way.

No they weren't

Bradley Beal not happy about his exclusion from All-NBA teams, and rightfully so.

I've never seen predictions that were more wrong

Kawhi and PG chose game 7 to play their worst basketball in the bubble. Not the playoffs, the entire bubble. Tragic

Afr0mentalist:
Game is over mehnnn Jamal just closed it with that 3

It is man. You can't cheat the game.

It's over. And that's a terrible thing to say seeing that there's about 2 minutes to play.

Kawhi what you got?
PG what you got?
You're running out of time *in Stephen A's voice*

Hehehehehe...15-point lead. It's unfolding right before our very eyes

Jokic in foul trouble...the only thing that can make Denver lose this game.

Jason Tatum though, smh. He should have played that ball off the glass instead of going for a dunk there with Adebayo breeding down his neck. Youthful exuberance maybe?

donlittle25:
no be the player wey they available you go out for field?

So D'Antoni has no right to ask for a Center?

Afr0mentalist:
Can Denver win ? Yes they can. Are they likely to? I don’t think so.

The 3 wins they got especially the last 2 were more the clippers fault: it is one thing to win because you are better, it is another to win because your opponent underperforms. When you see the huge leads in both games one needs not be Einstein to understand that it was the clippers undoing.

If it happened once, we can say it's an aberration, but when it happens consistently then you have to wonder if it's just the Clippers fault. The best team doesn't always win in the playoffs. And let's not act like Kawhi is MJ or LeBron that automatically makes their team the favourite. He'll score his usual 30-35 points, but can he score 50 if his team are playing badly?
