I noticed this out of Westbrook last night as well. it's like he's out of gas having just given 110% during the regular season. And this has been a common denominator for him during his NBA career.

Gosh...uhm...where have we seen this before? A guy spends the entire regular season chasing triple-doubles and individual honors, gassed by the time the playoffs roll around. Westbrook....Harden......Bueller? ...Bueller?

He wasn't chasing them...have you seen the team he plays for? Who else was going to get assists and rebounds lol?

Yeah I was actually surprised how the Wizzards finished up the year considering the way they started and RW was a huge reason for that turnaround.

Honestly if his contract was cheaper I think he would be just the type of talent this team needs in terms of a guy who goes all out every minute of every game.

They could use someone like RW's energy and pitbull attitude on the court

Well, in fairness to Westbrook, he was passing very well and getting the ball to his shooters, but they just couldn't get the ball in the hoop. He had a good assist number and it would have been better if they could make shots.

BPo001 · 05-19-2021, 10:07 PM

NBA crew talking about how Drummond is struggling defending GS. Said he needs to bends his knees and get in a defensive stance. Sounds familiar. Lakers looking like a team that assumes they are going to win, but didn’t realize they actually have to play hard.

BPo001 · 05-19-2021, 10:21 PM

Besides Luka I think Curry is my favorite player to watch. Some of the shots he makes are just ridiculous.

Stylistic · 05-19-2021, 11:17 PM

Man glad we did not get that 7th seed.

EricaLubarsky · 05-19-2021, 11:51 PM

Was really hoping to have a PO without LeBron

Cant wait for his retirement.

And Drummond pretty much unplayable... What a shocker

Same, but then losing twice seemed highly unlikely.

EricaLubarsky · 05-20-2021, 09:04 AM

Good news is LeBron gonna go off against the Suns which should be fun

Yeah, it will be nice to see CP3 once again fail to make it out of the first round.

SMC0007 · 05-20-2021, 01:36 PM

Lebron is such a poon.

“Second thing I saw was three rims from being poked in the eye from that previous possession when I drove to the hole in transition. So I just aimed for the middle one. I’ve practiced enough, I work on on my game. I was able to through the man above and through a lot of practice I was able to drain it.”

What a massive floppy dildough.

I thought the same thing. He tries to talk it up like he made this impossible shot. It was a lucky shot with no pressure. If he makes it he makes this “impossible” shot at the end of the shot clock. He misses and nobody thinks twice about it because it’s not his fault it was the end of the shot clock, and nobody expected the shot to go in.

You would have thought prime Mike Tyson punched him in the face the way he was acting after Draymond fouled him. I love basketball, but these guys gotta quit acting like they got shot when they get hit with a hard foul.

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was found to be in breach of the NBA's health and safety protocols this week, a league spokesperson told ESPN on Friday night.
James won't be suspended, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, as the nature of the event didn't rise to a threat level of virus spread.

Oh great. Potentially 7 games of Cliff Troll (the walking short man complex) vs. LeFlop. I think they both managed to foul each other and flop on the same play. All we needed was CP pretending to get hurt at the same time as LeBron and we’d have had a rare double hat trick.

BPo001 · 05-24-2021, 10:23 PM

Dame is going off right now. 32 points in the first half and counting.

40+

And -16

sefant77 · 05-26-2021, 03:44 AM

Oh look Paul is injuried again in the playoffs, what a shocker

Bryan_Wilson · 05-26-2021, 07:50 PM

No idea why people keep saying Hawks and Knicks will go 7 games. Hawks have a ton of shooters and scorers. Knicks look lost with Randle playing like hot trash.

Knicks making a big run. I still think ATL wins the series though.

BPo001 · 05-26-2021, 08:37 PM

MSG is rocking. I’m hoping Mavs fans bring similar energy. Hopefully the Dallas fans show up on time for the game.

BPo001 · 05-26-2021, 08:58 PM

Knicks go on a huge run while Trae is on the bench. Can’t be the Hawks coach didn’t bring him back in sooner.

Bryan_Wilson · 05-26-2021, 09:53 PM

Well that didn't age well lol.

Randle finally showed up some and Bullock got a little hot.

DevinHarriswillstart · 05-26-2021, 11:16 PM

What happened to John Collins? No way I'm giving him the max.

2 shots? 14 min? I really like Collins as a player, but that’s odd. I was just thinking yesterday if he would be a good trade candidate for KP if we were to sign Markaneen.

maybe serious foul trouble? he finished with 5 total but still...

EricaLubarsky · 05-27-2021, 01:02 PM

Seems like Randle wasn't super effective against Collins s, but he's young and doesn't know how to avoid fouls.

FreshJive · 05-27-2021, 01:28 PM

Supposedly, Collins and Young haven’t exactly been getting along. Which is why he was thought to be available for trade, and why Atlanta may not sign him.

BPo001 · 05-27-2021, 09:17 PM

Vogel just used his coaches challenge 15 sec into the game and lost.

Bryan_Wilson · 05-27-2021, 11:53 PM

Booker with a frustration 6th foul turned flagrant 2 ejection. Crowder playing like shit saying magic words to get tossed. CP3 on sidelines talking.

Suns looked like an inexperienced playoff team to close that out.

Bryan_Wilson · 05-27-2021, 11:54 PM

And the Heat are trash. I hope they get swept.

I'm glad people are finally seeing how ridiculously overrated Jae Crowder is.

sefant77 · 05-28-2021, 06:30 PM

Honestly because the ejection was meaningless because just seconds to play, they should suspend Booker for the next time. Was dangerous garbage

Jayinem · 05-29-2021, 02:06 PM

Mark Eaton has died at age 64 after crashing his bicycle. They said no vehicles were involved. Seems a bit odd.

Wonder if this will give extra motivation to the Jazz. If we can beat the Clippers and if they win their series we'd have to face the in round 2.

Playoff Jimmy about six weeks from demanding a trade
