Poor Draymon, with TNT losing the NBA i wonder where that puts him at once he retires. He was supposed to replace barkley

who cares? he was gonna be trash on that shyt anyway. Now he can stay away and do his weak ass podcast that we can easily ignore

 

[Don Homer]

You sound like Moriah whenever Zion miss a open jumper

bullshyt. Moriah aint watch his games

 

[Street Knowledge]

Gritty win by a young playoff team who has never been here before

 

[Trojan 24]

Such an underwhelming close to the game for the Mavs

 

[Inertia Creeps]

Luka played that game, a must win NBA playoff game, like how one of those spoiled white "content creators" from LA Cashnasty and Flightreacts or whatever play against on youtube. bytched and whined EVERY play something didn't go his way while having the most selfish hero ball shot selection and turning the ball over like a rockhead at the worst times. Bro is like a pasty, hobbled fusion of Draymond and Bron at their worst/most annoying with none of the positives right now.

 

[Trojan 24]

Time to enjoy the last few episodes of Inside the NBA, we will not forgive Adam Silver

I'll be honest, Shaq been getting a little too annoying lately. Might be time to hang em up

 

[UpAndComing]

I said it earlier in the thread. Dallas lacks the perimeter defenders on their team

They resorting to Kyrie having to be their "stopper", which is taking away from his offensive game

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

All time FT fumble on Dallas lmaooo

Luka Doncic game 4 performance tonight :

Bad Shot selection, slow and weak on defense, sloppy turnovers, slow mobility, bad/slow footwork, and bad decision making with it comes to playmaking, bad passes, can’t hit free throws

Kyrie best years are behind him unfortunately. You can’t rely on Him to be a consistently elite #2 option anymore.

SGA saved the thunder season with his clutch shots and performances .

The Mavericks are so lucky that after their disappointing performance tonight, they they are only tied 2-2 instead of being down 1-3. They can redeem themselves next game in game 5. From now on its a best of three series

Can y'all explain why Kyrie, "the most skilled player ever", only had 9 points?

Anyone gonna slander him like he's the 1st option? Cuz when he be going off, he gets that 1st option praise.

nikkas been saying he was a superstar. Remember that? Then they went into a whole ass schpeal on how a superstar is defined.

Then they were saying he's a lockdown defender.

Then they were saying how him having like 5 points at the half, and scoring 0 points in a quarter is actually a good thing.

Then they were saying how he's doing a great job getting his teammates involved. But let that be Draymond green, and nikkas will just say it's a triple single. HMMMM, that's very interesting. Y'all don't find that interesting? Cuz it's VERY interesting to this guy

I just wanna get the facts straight? Is Kyrie a superstar? If so, how come he only scoring 9 points at home with a chance to go up 3-1. If that's Jokic or Curry (actual superstars), They getting slandered all day long.

Is he a lockdown defender? If so, how come he let Shai go off like that? That's very interesting to the kid

Like the dumbass commentators were saying earlier, is it a good thing that Kyrie isn't scoring? If so, what's the benefit of losing a close game at home, with a chance to go up 3-1 and essentially end the series? Did the Superstar/lockdown defender/Super point guard just choke?


I just need my Coli brethren to make some sense of all this! I was told that Kyrie is a magician with the ball and that he's a superstar. But how can a superstar score 9 points on 4-11 shooting at home, with a chance to go up 3-1 and nobody's even surprised?

Am I missing something???

Its a little weird with Kyrie now. In the 1st half, especially the 1st quarter this guy plays like hes Cp3 trying to set up guys and go within the flow of the game. I know this cause i lost alot of 1st quarter parlays betting the over on this dude . Then in the 2nd half he tries to turn up. With Luka being an injured mess he needs to come out looking to score and play his game and be aggressive with his shot. That will open it up for Luka and others if he remains aggressive

I ignore him but I will miss the Kenny/Ernie/Chuck trio. These three have made a lot of bad basketball nights tolerable.

 

[Oldschooler]

He needs to either learn how to play off ball or develop a post game where he can still find his shooters

This is bad take breh. Luka has a post game. He's out of shape again and thats been his biggest knock. To play off ball you need to constantly be moving around and off screens. He's been constantly a top 3 mvp candidate the last 3 years. He has zero weaknesses on offense. He just needs to be in shape so he can always be in attack mode.

he's too used to playing second fiddle. He's been hitching his ride on to real superstars his whole career minus his first 3 seasons in cleveland.
