Warriors therapy in 1...2...3

Looks like the Nuggets have a match up problem vs the Timberwolves. That come from behind loss they've not recovered and it's showing any time they face the Timberwolves


Also we are going to have to have an uncomfortable conversation about Steph. 0pts in a half in today's NBA?? Zero??

steady986:


You spelt SGA wrong

Maybe next year.

Extending James Harden over Paul George was actually the smart move. The way he's carried this team of nobodies is quite remarkable

Paul George is now a remote worker.

Harden and Powell has carried Clippers in the absence of Kawhi

I think Steph is mentally checked out for the season, same for draymond. These guys are not fighting for anything meaningful this season.

Even if they were not, I never thought going into the season that they stood a chance with the way the roster is constructed.

P. Mahomes returns to the SB. Another disappointing end to the season for J. Allen. J. Allen has now suffered 4 straight losses to Mahomes.

Paul George is so fortunate to be born in this era.

An absolutely incredible game. Josh Allen had them on the ropes but couldn't finish

It's mental at this point. He needs to see a sports psychologist. I don't know that he believes in his heart of hearts he could win. I didn't see him play with that edge required to beat Mahomes.

Twice he had the chance to put the game away. I was expecting an over my dead body performance

Hope you now have a higher respect for GOAT Brady. Mahomes is 17-3 in the playoffs. Guess who is responsible for 2 of his 3 losses

I don't know that they can form the core of a title winning team anymore.

Draymond is already been washed like 4 seasons. Steph washed process also seems to have begun in earnest. He's approaching 37. Decline should not be surprising

Udoka revenge game

Roland boys don jam 3pt spamming wey their power

Make Dillon Brooks dey spam 10 3pters



Jimmy Butler suspended again. Let's see if Pat Riley has some spine. If I'm him he go jonze like craze. I no go trade am. He will play from the bench or no playing time till season end The team is going nowhere anyway so it's pointless as I don't expect any GM with any damn sense to trade for this version of Jimmy Butler. I wouldn't take him for free


Nuggets smh. Lakers should want to face them in the playoffs. I'm convinced they will beat them this time. Their defense is generational bad

We'd take him at the warriors

SmooshCHN:
When I told you to pump the brakes you were making noise. My Warriors wey i know. The front office is only concerned with making money and Curry is Curry; meek and quiet. We'd be lucky to make the play-in at this point.

You had to bring this up again. The guy done concede defeat since.

Skrrrrrrr:

Him and Draymond for same locker room. I no go like miss that royal rumble

That Draymond extension was foolish. Should have let him go take a dump on the Lakers.

Last night was a contest of who spam . I was watching the game and got irritated, especially in the 3rd. We are not exactly executing any unique type of offense. For a team with dynamic players like JT, JB, Porz and Holiday, one would expect a more expansive offense than we are playing. I have always maintained that a balanced team, particularly one with great defense will punish us and push us in the playoffs.

On J. Butler, i think you are underrating P. Riley. This is a man that has dealt with the best of best and even traded the best player in the history of the franchise to Chicago. When Riley told Butler to shut up after he was making noise about beating my Celtics if he was healthy na when anybody suppose know say Riley is done. Will Butler break into the top 5 All-Time players for the franchise? that is quite debatable. Riley is showing he doesn't mind benching him or keeping him away from the team for as long as he wants. He doesn't look like he is caving to Butler.

Yea, you should really be thanking me. The Celtics did Udoka a massive favor by not caving in to the pressure of firing and canceling him. They gave him a good chance to continue his career as a head-coach. My only only disappointment is that Harden did not make it to Houston before Udoka arrived.

My God will cure you of that wickedness that lurks in your heart. Har ginni?

There is a stat out there that Harden performs worse on the court in cities with higher quality strip clubs and Food/burger ts…like Houston.

Houston strip clubs and burgers are not the same in LA!

The City of Houston need Harden…

Just saying.

I think Pat Riley is also drinking too much of his kool aid.

You have won titles and you're a legend but that's in the past.
Since he traded for butler who basically fell on his lap for cheap, who has he brought in to strengthen the squad?

All this macho man nonsense only work with old generation. The current crop of players are empowered and you have to pander to them a bit otherwise you won't land the stars.

Calling out Jimmy butler in the off-season was totally unnecessary, how can you be going into a new season and you are publicly calling out your best player for saying your team could have won against Boston if they were healthy.

Butler has walked the talk ever since he got to miami. He may have not won the title but the guy has done herculean carry jobs in the playoffs against far better equipped teams season after season while pat Riley did nothing to improve the team.

Respect they say is reciprocal, Pat Riley should have shown more respect to Jimmy.

Sure, Jimmy's antics have been childish and this seems like a pattern now, but Pat Riley could have gotten a better deal if he had chosen to trade Jimmy as soon it became clear that they were not on the same page.

Jimmy will eventually leave but other star players are watching and when free agency comes along, these things sway decisions.

Jabari Smith go too romance bench cos Amen Thompson is arguably your best player right now

Udoka has this rag tag squad running circles. Beat Cavs home and away now Celtics away as well. Coaching masterclass

Two people that deserve each other if you ask me.

Jimmy Butler get him own toxic traits just that he's met his match in toxicity.

The spamming strategy worked last season. It remains to be seen if it will work this time. And whether you will be able to adapt on the fly if it's not working. Y'all are still the class of the East but I worry if you run into a deeper team from the West, your defense is not as strong and the way the Lakers beat una.

I'm not seeing the Buzzsaw squad I saw last season that didn't need Porzingis all that much

I know Riley well and I don't expect him to buckle either. Jimmy has ed his boundaries because this behavior is giving locker room cancer. I think he definitely has to be an All time Heat player for sure. I don't use bad behavior to diminish someone's talents or abilities. Two things can be true

Jimmy has a player option, all he had to do was hold on till the end of the season. Not like the team is going anywhere. If a desperate Sixers team could give PG another heavy 9 figures surely he would have also gotten paid. But now how does any GM with any sense sign him. If I have young players on the brink of contending I already know he will come and contaminate the squad

I ask again....How do you guard SGA??

I can't agree more to your observations. I have watched time and again how Jimmy carried this rag tag group of Heat players to 3ECFs and two finals with no other all star than a fair Bam. Bam isn't GREAT! Neither is Herro. Butler & Spo have done a great job putting Heat out there on the map only for Riley to shit on their efforts. Jimmy fit ghost you for regular season. But everyone knows he will turn up in the playoffs if healthy. Riley should take several seats. Butler was their chance for a title. Now that he is gone, Heat can go back to the oblivion they deserve for all I care.

Siakam made all-star over Trae Young, Jalen Johnson and Franz Wagner. Omo

Trae Young is the most disrespected player in the league.

The Grizzlies v Rockets game was a good one. The Grizzlies come away with a close win. Excellent late game management by coach T. Jenkins. The refs nearly ruined it with that TO call that was never initiated by T. Jenkins.

Isnt that what they are paying him for? They honor the contract, then put in your time. Why we acting like they owe him another contract. Just do your job. I dont like how Riley talks down to players, but on this he is right.

Watch these ones lose this game!

This Nuggets defense is abysmal. Make Yabusele dey use you score career high

On the plus side looks like Jamal Murray is getting his groove back
