Nuggets close out in 6
Heat close out in 6
Lakers close out in 6 (likely)
Sixers……. fail to close out game 6, forced to 7

The life of a Sixers fan. One of these teams is not mentally prepared like the others

Damn, it is sad. Klay is choking big time.

Moody in, Klay out. At some point you gotta try and win the game and not let the guy shoot you out of it.

I'm hoping all these posts backfire on me but am doubtful.

Keep shooting Klay!!!

ninjacookies · 05-12-2023, 09:42 PM

Once again. Bad Fakers habits. Start chucking perimeter bricks when they have a lead.

Brow might snatch a double double in the 1st.

ninjacookies · 05-12-2023, 09:47 PM

Here comes the run.

Hard to believe it's only at 7. They've played so poorly.

Anyone who says Curry is a 3-point shooter doesn't watch him play.

It turned around when DiVincenzo entered the game.

No worries. Fakers are their own worst enemy. They'll neutralize any lead with poor shot selection.

fabiani12333 · 05-12-2023, 09:50 PM

Reeves is not good driving to the basket. He does it because LeBron wants to take his breaks.

JustinVerlander07 · 05-12-2023, 09:50 PM

If they bench Klay for the rest of the game theres a chance.

What would happen if LeBron and AD repeatedly pounded it inside? I'm thinking they'd be drained by game's end.

Jeez, curry is so good….

Hmm -- he's a very streaky shooter. He could go off for a quarter. You just can't have him repeatedly shooting bricks when he's off.

Professional athletes at the pinnacle of their sport burning out in 36 minutes?

Not likely.

It takes a lot of effort and physicality for those guys to get their own shots inside. They aren't spring chickens.

Into the game and immediate brick TWICE. He's KILLING them.

Klay Tatum saving his powder for the 4th.

yiguiri2002 · 05-12-2023, 09:57 PM

Klay is the Warriors' Dillon Brooks.

I think you may be mistaking them for Udonis Haslem.

JustinVerlander07 · 05-12-2023, 09:58 PM

Kerr is gonna have to get Curry back in there and use him the rest of the way. This is a trainwreck.
