Bow ako kay durant

[thebat]

Super duper great win by the Bucks! Yes yes yes!!!

[Moks007]

Parang si Westbrook itong si Harden, throwing bricks haha

Lol buti nga sa kanya

[noob]

Wala halos katulong si kd, di gaya ng clippers ang nag shine yun other players than pg.

[Moks007]

Nets fans can count 1 to 15 on the way to parking lot lol

[oznola]

Parang maganda din Bucks v Sixers. May tapatan ng match ups.

I think the jitters of game 7 set in

I like this from the beginning. Pero parang cockroaches yun mga hawks hehe...still up for grabs

If healthy si Embiid, mas gusto ko sixers makalaban ng bucks. Mas may laban eh. Hack-a-Ben vs hack-a-Giannis hehe.

Pansin ko ganda nung courtside/close-up cam ng NBA, minsan may effect na parang NBA 2K na game.

[VenoM_Unleashed]

Wow! What a game!

I can't say anything bad against KD, kayod kalabaw, exhausted na talaga kaya kinapos na tira. Akala ko nga tres yung binitawan bago mag OT kaya sabi ko olats na Bucks buti na lang stepping sa line.

Kaya din ako nakipag friendly bet sa kasamahan ko for the Bucks kasi duda ako sa health ng big 3 ng Nets, sabi ko bibigay mga yun, nauna na nga si Kyre, pero si KD ang tibay.

[raptor]

akala ko matatalo pa Bucks after the JR Smith moment of Lopez

[Moks007]

Biggest block of lopez career hehe
He made it up

[VenoM_Unleashed]

Kaya mahirap mag predict kung sino papasok sa Finals dahil madaming pwedeng mangyari. Hindi Lakers, hindi rin Nets. I would like the Suns to win the Championship, they're playing the game the right way, hindi yata sila nag load management?

Happy Father's Day sa mga Matitikas na Ama ng PDVD!!!

[Conan]

Goodbye Nets!!! 

[iPhat]

Respect to my idol KD! You did a great job!

Until next season idol!

[thebat]

Yan napala nila kse inapakan ni Kyrie si Lucky!

[Onkyo606]

It is not enough to have superstars and build superteams.It should be a healthy superteam.I hope the Nets will be back next season with its 3 superstars.

The Bucks have its own players playing like superstars in Holiday and Middleton. They deserve to be in the ECF and I hope they end up in the finals.

Nice win by the Bucks.  Giannis and Thanasis are one step closer to getting a ring.  Somewhere out there Kostas is smiling.

KD just showed us in this series why he is the best player in the planet.  What a weapon to have in your team. If given the green light to play all game he is good for 50 points/10 rebounds/ 5 assists/ 2 steals and a block or two.

If Giannis would have the same intensity and fire as KD wala na siguro makapigil sa kanya.

He has to develop a post move go to shot (back to the basket type) like a jump hook or up and under shot.  Right now teams are already aware how to stop him when he begins his attack facing the basket in a half court set.  He averages 2 to 3 offensive fouls because of this.  Tigil na nya yung pangarap nya maging Steph Curry.   Case in point Hakeem.....HOF, 2 time champion etc. He never took a serious shot from three.  Giannis needs to march to the sound of his own drum...not to others.  Leave the three point shooting to Middleton.

As good as he is currently...there is still a ton of room for improvement in his game.

...and he is a free agent. Highly likely that Brooklyn wont sign him up for that kind of money that he got from the Clips. Vet Min salary days for Blake is coming.  That type of salary is commensurate to his ability on the court.  Baka nga di pa sya kunin ng Nets. Dami mas bata sa kanya and no issues sa health.  Injuries and Health issues derailed the Nets this year.   Getting Blake is like taking a chance on him missing 25 to 30 games per year.  Not what they need.

But what is the difference between kd and harden? Kd took 36 shots. When harden was in houston and doing this, a lot of fans dont like it and hate harden for it. Swapang, iso ball, its the team offense etc. The difference is kd takes mid range shot. Harden takes step back 3s or drive to the basket and get fouls. And he actually get fouled naman. But basically same lang sila, iso play din kay kd, not as much, but the ball always go to him. Check the per game stats and see how many shots he took per game.
But yes, too bad harden is hurt din itong series.

When harden was in houston, averaging 30 points was nothing to him. Fans then say its the offense kasi. One season he scored at least 30 against each team for a season. The big question is if green light was given, kaya ba ni kd to perform like this whole season? Harden did it, but eventually ran out of gas sa playoffs

Masyado bias ang fans and media imo.

Sarili lang din nya ang makakalaban nya into being better than what he is now

Nice observation on your comparison between KD and Harden.  There was a time when Harden was recognized as the most lethal one on one assassin in the NBA. He was rewarded with an MVP as well.  If healthy, he can equal or even exceed the production of KD on any given night.  Both of them can shoot the lights out and being on the same team is a nightmare for opponents but sadly we only got to see a small sample of that combo in the playoff stage.

Media and Fans are all biased and that's a given. Both fans and media alike live in a world of recency wherein they only remember one's shortcomings.   With Harden, what most people remember is that his defense is suspect and that in the most important games he wilted under pressure in HOU which resulted to winning zero rings.  The only way to justify and validate his playing style will be to win a championship.  Only then will the chatter subside.

For me parang Kobe din yan comparison....remove the 5 titles from Kobe and what do we get?  Probably the same numbers that a James Harden will produce. Probably worse if you factor assists because Kobe simply didnt give want to give up the ball.  Same playing style (iso heavy, low efficiency). What validated and justified his playing style to be a successful formula is the 5 rings.  Something that Harden doesn't have hence the bias.

my .05 cents lang bro.

(AP) - Preview capsule for the Phoenix-LA Clippers Western Conference Finals series that starts today:

No. 2 PHOENIX SUNS (51-21, 8-2) vs. No. 4 LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (47-25, 8-5)

Season series: Clippers, 2-1.

Storyline: The Suns are seeking their first NBA Finals trip since 1993, the Clippers their first in franchise history. Phoenix has been preparing this week without All-NBA point guard Chris Paul (health and safety protocols) and the Clippers haven’t said yet if they expect All-NBA forward Kawhi Leonard — who hurt his knee against Utah — to be back in this series. The irony is thick, in that the Clippers and Paul spent six years together and now one will make the finals without the other.

Key matchup: Phoenix’s Devin Booker vs. the Clippers’ Paul George. The Clippers just couldn’t guard Booker in the three regular-season games; they fouled him 11 times in a Jan. 3 matchup and 26 times total in the series. And while they’ll talk about Terence Mann’s Game 6 explosion against Utah for years, the Clippers know that George will have to be elite if he — and they — are going to get to the NBA Finals for the first time.

Injury watch: Paul and Leonard are both out for Game 1, at minimum. Paul has been in the NBA’s health and safety protocols, and the Suns said Saturday that he remains in them so his status remains murky. Leonard’s knee has been diagnosed as a sprain, though the Clippers have said more tests were pending. And the Clippers’ Serge Ibaka (back) is done for the rest of the season.

Numbers of note: The Suns have won seven consecutive games, matching their longest streak of the season. The last time they won more in a row was their 8-0 run inside the NBA’s restart bubble last summer. … The Clippers won the last four games of their West semifinal series with Utah — the first four-game postseason winning streak in franchise history. They’d won three straight on two other occasions. … George averaged 32.3 points in the three games against the Suns this season, shooting 61% on 3-pointers and getting 53% of his points from beyond the arc. … This is the fifth trip to the conference finals for Clippers reserve guard Rajon Rondo. … Paul has appeared in 119 playoff games without reaching the finals. That’s the fifth most in NBA history; Paul Millsap has played in 129 without a finals game, Al Horford has 124, Joe Johnson and Steve Nash 120 each. … Booker is averaging 27.9 points and Suns center Deandre Ayton is shooting 72% in the playoffs. … Phoenix’s Jae Crowder has four technicals so far in the postseason. Players must sit a game when they reach seven.

Prediction: The Clippers are finally here, getting to the conference finals for the first time and ousting Utah without Leonard in the final games of the series. The Suns will have home-court edge and a week of rest before Game 1. The Clippers’ toughness will test Phoenix, but in the end it’ll be Paul, Booker and coach Monty Williams finding a way. Suns in 7.
