He put the ball too high or he would've been blocked. cheesy he should've dunked that shît but Chef no dey dunk. KD has always been phenomenal except for close games

Every super player would have such games. What is happening to KD is what happens to a star that plays with other stars. A couple of games were Lebron is playing nonsense, they free Uncle Drew to salvage things. There was a game Kyrie put 49 this season I forget it. Lebron was turning the ball over like a kid with down's syndrome.

Once KD realises it is not his day he let's whoever is dominating that day to do the business. It is team work. Like I said, my problem has been the OT losses and the fact that when things are close KD folds up. He said Curry always tells him to stop looking at the time or scoreboard as that could affect him. I am just happy every single mistake that can affect the playoffs is happening now: blowing leads, bad 4th Quarters, OT losses etc.

The one nobody can do anything about is bad officiating for goodness sake. When you keep giving the home team imaginary foul calls you'd be demoralising the away team- just like game 6 of the finals.

How curry take miss that layup ?
Few games now KD look like Barnes;Curry plays to his full potential. Before,na the other way round and curry was just okay by his standard. Kerr still get work.

@chic2pimp: Atlanta,Tom Brady don too win.

I can live with a missed lay-up or a bad KD game. I can let Draymond (recovering from a shoulder injury) take a pummelling from a much taller and bigger Demarcus Cousins. But, 3 OT losses this season? Something needs to be done about it.

ATL to win because Hawks beat Houston recently and I think it is a sign. I don't watch NFL though. grin

Heard dallas want shumpert and a pick. Don't know if lebron will be willing to part with defense.
I won't mind Shumpert for Deron Williams at all. With Yogi getting a two year deal. I'd much rather give them Devin Harris tho who in all intents and purpose should be the more realistic target

SuperBowl is around the corner Lady and Felas. Who have you got?
Matty Ice and the Falcons of course. Mohammed Sanu is not Sammie Coates or Cobi Hamilton. I'm not saying it out of bad belle but the Patriots scoreline in their wins flatter them badly

You should be happy Varejao is going with his bad luck. Why the Warriors went for him to begin with is what I wonder

The Mavs have agreed a 2 year contract with Yogi..

The city of Indiana should be proud of this kid, he earned the contract. An undrafted 4 year kid from Indiana University, i watched alot of his games in the NCAA (You guys should watch some college basketball also). He was king in Indiana and i was beyond surprised he was undrafted. I guess it has everything to do with his height.

When would people realize height is overrated? Draymond Green is like 6'7 and he can play center, Ben Wallace back then even Rodman dominated much taller bigs

Baba,

You are being generous with the height. IT would do anything to fall under the 6'0 category. Mind you, IT, Yogi and other smaller players in the league have exaggerated height stats. For example, IT is officially listed as 5'9, i have watched him live and there is absolutely no way the man is 5'9. At best he is between 5'4-5'6 nothing more.

Smaller players can only play the guard position in the NBA, abi u want play IT, Bledsoe, CP3 and Yogi for Center position? they are limited and need to expand their guard game to stand any chance in the NBA. That is why i want to see Yogi attack the paint like IT and Bledsoe. Ben Wallace, Rodman, and Green all have the tenacity and are all above 6'2 which can not be compared to someone 5'4/5'5.

LooolVery Hard to predict. Definitely the best 2 sides in the NFL. I think the Falcons will win but I am rooting for the NFL's greatest ever pairing Brady and Belicheck.

This game na clash of the titans. The two ultra-powerful offenses, the league’s top-scoring unit VS NFL’s No. 1 scoring defense.

Less than 7hrs to go, We'd watch the action.

I'm telling you. Hope I am wrong but I think the trio of the dynamic Julio Jones, Freeman and Coleman will be too much for the Pats to handle.

I can't wait. Counting down the seconds literally.

Which buttresses my point. A lot of players inflate or deflate their height depending on the scenario.

Every player cannot be a bruiser in the paint and you have to realize all that contact takes its toll on the players. I want a PG who can shoot and stretch the floor much more than guys that attack the paint. The minute teams do not respect your jumper you are borderline phucked. That is the problem the likes of Rondo, Mudiay, Rubio are facing now

The feeling in Atl right now is something else, even pastor for here are letting the congregation out early grin grin
I hope they win though, if not, it will be angry drivers and motorists that will be on the road tomorrow and them fit bash your car grin grin

Btw, the owner of the falcons, for a white old dude, who has that kind of money, he is a very decent man, no be small money to carry all your staff go houston go watch the game.

bwahahaha grin grin grin

u know, Im a Lebron fan all day. But I will freely admit the mental aspect has always been, and continues to be his weakness. Which is why LBJ does well under pressure and criticism. Anytime things start looking good, dude reverts to a teenager.
