zero defense, zero heart and Giannis playing awful. Disappointing series from him to say the least. He's also helped to make Al Horford look like Shaq.

Absolute garbage team. That franchise won't do anything anytime soon. Giannis should be a #2 on a legit great team. Too flawed and he didn't show up at all to game 5 or 7.

The Byrds are having that problem we talked about earlier. They can't defend all these all shooters. Only way to beat GS is to shut them down defensively or out score them. NOP cannot outscore them and we already know they can't really defend them either.

Yeah you were right. I figured it'd be a tough out with no Chef Curry. Not tonight

The big dogs can be shut down. But it takes a great defensive team like the Spurs, the Thibs Bulls or even the Cavs when they decided to play defense.

Believe me. I didn't want to be right. But NOP doesn't have the personnel. Nico on Durant is a nightmare. I'm sorry but that white boy cannot D up KD.

Nobody can guard KD, the thing is he didn't even have that good of a game. I just figured without Curry the dirty birds had enough firepower to make this a serious battle. And it sounds like Curry will be back in game 2, looking forward they definitely want him to get some game action before they face Houston (assuming Harden and CP3 don't choke again).

But I always say in bball that the best way to beat a good defense is ball movement, the second best is having your mega superstar just completely take over. And by that I'm talking a max of 5 or 6 players in this league. And also, good ball movement absolutely destroys bad defenses, just obliterates them and that's what happened last night. NO just doesn't have much in defense aside from the Brow and on the flip side he had a poor game himself. They need him to go for 35+ to win games in this series. Not over yet of course but they got a reality check.

They were doubling him almost every time, which was to be expected. While he needs a better game, so does his cast. Drue w/ 11 pts and another starter w/ 9 pts won't cut it.

NO..Thanos wouldn't whine to the refs after almost every play while being a bull in the china shop like Lebron does.

They all whine bro. Every superstar I've ever seen, all coaches, and most average players. I can appreciate him because my Bucks are too worthless to ever get in his way. I get why you and Murat can't stand him, kind of obvious reasons.

Nah bro,,unlike Murat..i am not a typical Chicagoan who still swears my loyally to his heiness Lord Jordan. I have been obsticized because of my eyes were open to the basketball talents of Kobe Bean Bryant.. Nah Bro.. Lebron does whine more than Kobe and Michael ever did combined.

Lebron with the aid of Tristan Kardashian’s assistance may sweep the Raptors.. i bet the Canadian fans and that weak kneed team all have soiled their panties in anticipation of his arrival next this week.

It isn't about the Jordan comparisons, it's more that James has badly owned every team in the East. If I had a competitive team I wouldn't like him either. And y'all should still be all about MJ. It's MJ > LeBron >>> Kobe if we just compare those 3
