What's a Polar Bear doing in Abakaliki Texas grin

Just handing buddy ceremonial awards now
See how the coconut heads swerved your post. They know there is no logical explanation for this. Meanwhile, no Rocket player was on the list. Imagine that!

Playing 20 years is not the question. The question is can you be in your prime for the entire 20 years? grin
-54 +/- is not prime. Lebron has been diefied by lots of voters that doesn't mean he is at his best. Other people deserve that spot. But we understand, you are a fan so it's Ok to ignore the obvious.

This is how bereft of ideas you people have become, for you to stoop so low as to bring up plus minus. Like for real bro, try something better grin

Bro pulled up plus minus like he discovered a new trick no one has ever seen before. I'll keep watching the games, you can keep reading the stat sheets grin

You are obsessed. I understand your condition. It will take some holy water and some strokes of the holy cane to deliver you from your condition.

@A40, the Oilers have a 3-1 lead with 17 to go in the 3rd.

Make it 4-1

Hyman was behind the defense and finished with a strong shot.

Hyman makes it 5-1. The Stars are not coming this time for sure! They have been efficient with their shots.
Roland17(m): 10:57pm On May 25
Klinberg makes it 6. First playoff goal since 2023.

I hope spam bot don't strike again

Looks like we are headed for rematch of last year's final. Stars comeback gimmick no work again

Panthers are a Buzzsaw. I would be truly shocked if they don't repeat

Lebron is not in his prime. He is good enough to be in starting 5, and #2 or #3 option on any team. This is a good enough imo. What we dont want is endings like Barkley, Shaq etc.

People kept saying it was just one loss after Game 1 and I was like omo there's some losses you fit no recover oh.

Knicks are on the edge of a cliff here. Pacers are too well coached to fumble any advantage especially after last year's experience with the Celtics
A40(m): 2:08am On May 26
Well let's see if the Knicks can come back from 20.
A40(m): 2:11am On May 26
Don't let Rick Carlisle have a squad man. This Pacers team are a coach's nightmare. Can't scout for anybody cos even they don't know who will be the go to guy for the game

If that Akpuruka analyst address am make I know wetin cause am..

These guys are Bronsexuals not actual fans of the sport so you can't be surprised at them playing ostrich.

The same stat warriors we tell to watch games and they bring up numbers when he plays vs when he's on the bench or not in the lineup are suddenly denying the impact of +/-

Stupid dolts we've been telling since that the numbers are Fugazi and watching the game shows LeBronze has lost several steps. They will deny it till he's handed his ass again in the playoffs.

You dey mind the guy. Nigga was questioning why Steph made an all NBA team while lebron is the real culprit. Lebron that has been sabotaging superstars since 2020. Lebron that cannot make the finals with prime AD or make it out the first round with Luka.
He disappears every 4th quarter, putting up garbage time numbers. I wonder who votes that fraud for this awards. There are clearly a lot of steadys in the NBA who can simply not accept the fact that their man is finished....

How did Steph Curry sneak into All-NBA second team? And who are those two people who voted him first team? I want to know who they are. Imagine Steph having more first team votes than Mobley.
What you should ask yourself is 'Who in the world would vote Lebron first team when there is an obvious squad of first team ?' At least, there are only 2 deluded Curry fans. There are 17 of Lebron's. Who is Lebron replacing on that first team Giannis or Tatum or Jokic? If Lebron went down today, Nobody on that Lakers team would miss him. Lakers would retool if they have a sensible coach that can arrange the defence. Not so for any of the first team in their respective teams.

Tibbs was desperate man and showed from the changes in lineup!! He threw everything to the wall and one stuck.

Credit to him for digging into his lineup for the first time in the season and for finally taking the offense away from Brunson and playing through KAT. The Pacers have Brunson figured out.

KAT is a problem if and only if he can play within himself and stop getting into foul trouble. Rick Carlisle let this one slip away, he should have done better with a 20 point lead. The Pacers can’t give the Knicks any life, they absolutely have to win game 4.

Atleast steph was still carrying his team with the opponents best defenders chasing him all through the game, he would probably still be playing if he hadn't been injured. He got injured and his team couldn't win one game. That is impact. We can see it in the plus minus.
Lebron has the worse plus minus among all players in the ALL NBA team, but first team, second and third.
What does he actually do?

There is no need to hate either of these greats my guy. Neither of them should be on first or second team all nba. This is the truth, we can accept that truth and still give both of them their flowers.

The Wolves have to put together a strong defensive showing to win this series. They are shooting over 60% but are still down by 5. The refs have swallowed this whistles and are allowing both teams to play physical.

Which kain yeye culture. The Knicks are dead to me! Dem dey always believe wetin dem no be. Brunson too dey foul bait and complains/ whines way too much for my liking.

Outside of KAT wen dey always fall my hand with his silly fouls, I don’t care about the Knicks.

I have always had a soft spot for the Pacers, especially after consecutive seasons of sending Giannis and his band of dancing 🤡 to Cancun after the first round. Yup, I had to go there grin

I think this roster under Carlisle is deeper and a better team. I like how una continue to dey underrate dem.

If I am to diefy anyone at all, MJ for making me watch basketball, Iverson for making me play basketball. Na the guy fit and And1 draw me enter basketball. Any other person, we watch, we enjoy the moment, we move.
