NBA Season - now 24/25
-
Game 4 LAL vs GSW has really raised the intensity bar. AD was huge in the first half, Steph has a triple double showcasing some ridiculous passing to give GS lay up after lay up. AD went quiet in the second half and LA struggled to find offense in the 4th until Lonnie Walker IV stepped up with 16 points!!!???!! AD plays lockdown D on Steph out on the 3 point line and forces a turnover. Lakers get a come from behind win to lead 3-1

your superstar player has 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 fucking assists and you lose? The rest of you are bums.

Their offense was effortless for most of the game. They went cold right at the end

Or maybe he could have shot better than 12-30 (and 3-15 for 3’s)???

Playoff Jimmy Butler and the Knicks look cooked.
Any chance the heat can go the whole hog? I cant see them going past the Celts but @ACT-Crusader will have best understanding here.
Lakers will progress so now I might have to support the Suns.
Celtics/Suns finals would be interesting at least.
-
@gt12 the Celtics are so deep i expect them to win
And then James Harden just keeps putting up 40 point games to win. That series is still wide fucking open
Fuck knows who wins the West, but the Nuggets are better than i thought they were

CP less Suns showing signs of life too, and I wouldn't write off GS just yet. MIA look like the only team who should advance smoothly, NYK don't seem to be able to capitalise from their physical advantage. Playoffs have been crazy
-
Denver and Philly push PHX and BOS to the brink today. Sounds like Jokic lit PHX up. I know neither man are classic centres, but a NJ/AD matchup in the WCFs would be a nice moment for big men all over the league who worry that small ball is making them extinct or just good for rebounds

Shit takes by gt12 here
Nuggets win, 76ers win.
I think Durant goes for plenty in game 6 though.
-
That could be a defining moment win for the 76ers. I’m not a fan but that was excellent the way they played. Maxey is a gun.
Warriors and Knicks get one back today. LBJ looked a bit cooked today. A massive game 6 in LA. The Dubs will need ‘Game 6 Klay’ because Curry looks a little tired. If they can get that plus the solid contributions from Wiggs, Dray and GP2 like they did today, there will be a game 7.
-
@ACT-Crusader The biggest story will whether AD recovers.
Man - I love Steph and Klay, but I hate Draymond with a passion. His theatrics, the shit he gets away with, the constant barrage at the refs. He's such a fucking tool.

When the commentators acknowledge that Green can do and say what he likes on the court the game is fucked.

Tatum wakes up in the 4th quarter (after an awful first 3 quarters) as Celtics force a Game 7.
Jokic and the Nuggets are on their way to the Western Conference Finals, destroying the Suns.
It's come out that former Warriors coach and ESPN commentator Mark Jackson didn't have Jokic in his top 5 for the MVP award. He's come out and apologised, calling it an oversight. Hard to believe you'd forget the 2 time defending MVP on the number 1 seed.....

Barkley unleashing was hilarious.
One man’s oversight is another man’s racism…apparently 😀
Suns had no answer for Joker and either of the Warriors and Lakers will struggle against him also.

AD looked pretty dazed after the hit and then the footage of him leaving the locker room after the game. But the latest report is that he has “avoided concussion protocol”. NBA protocol is mandatory 48 hours from diagnosis.
Not a huge fan of AD, but he is the most important player for the Lakers and he has been very good in the playoffs so far.
I didn’t mind Draymond and actually enjoy his podcasts, but the whole punch on Poole (not that I am fan of his) has made it unenjoyable to watch him this season. I don’t know why it just irks. In terms of him getting away with stuff, he does get a lot of rep calls as well. A bit like Boogie and Sheed in times past.
-
Rep calls? You rough calls based on his rep?
If so, I’m going to have to massively disagree with you there mate. He gets away with murder in my eyes, the holding on d, the taunting that others get t’d for, the constant barrage at the refs, the pulli bf people down with him, the flipping. It’s just constant non-Bball stuff and it’s shit to watch
Which is a such a shame because he’s a generational defender and amazing to watch playing point-forward in transition especially
