Decale:Gaddayummm I am not talking about being selected for the national team, I am refering to being part of the starting 5. Except Lebron, the starting 5 of an optimal US team is anything close to the 5 roster of GSW. We are talking about the arguably best nba team in history, let alone this season, and what are you saying here? Even bookmakers (who are objective by the way) did not miss that one. This kind bad faith, Is it an attempt to remove pressure or what? Well, Curry Klay Durant Green in the same team not to talk of Iggy is bomb mayyne. The Cavs too have a nice team no doubt, but they are nowhere close to GSW, let's be honest here. |

Zaza Pachulia is not a rim protector, it'll even take me stress to call him basket protector. It's no doubt he hardly plays 2nd half or gets very little minutes when he does. As for Cavs vs Warriors, many of us were so confident last year about our squad especially when we were up 3-1 and the Cavs "scrub" cleared our doubts. This year, I personally refuse to think Warriors are better in the playoffs. I don't care about our roster. Cavs are defending Champs, they have the most clutch player and the Goat of the 2010s and we split the regular season so, excuses are not welcomed. If it was regular season I can agree we're better but this finals, no!! Rara oo, after 3-1? The Cavs are too good and too hot to handle. 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:05am On May 28, 2017 |
LoJ: No oo. Forget that scary squad shît. The Cavs are the champions and Warriors have to face them not just the Cavs but also the refs and the league especially if LeBron decides to take trash talk personal and snitch.. So you see, we hardly stand a chance. We are the underdogs here. Final. |

A40:I don't even think sircumalot knew what we were talking about, man just jumped in to defend LeBron. We are asking if Jordan ever had a number two or three as offensively polished as bosh, Wade, love, and Kyrie. I no even know as leader of team take enter this discussion. He come pull the move call zaza rim protector. I guess we go call every center, power forward, and even small forward rim protector because them Sabi raise their hand when opposition wan score. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:44pm On May 28, 2017 |
SmooshCHN:smooch, make I tell you, if LeBron fans call zaza rim protector, what we are not going to do is call say he isn't. But tell me though, you play ball, how many rim protector you know wey average 0.4 blocks for their career? sircumalot know something wey we know no. I want know where him they watch him own game from. 1 Like |

A40:someone that never averaged double digit is now a G.... You go think say with internet everywhere, people go check stats before them check everything. Imaging trying to discuss basketball with this nigger outside, and him go say Kerr was a really good NBA player Abi Na G he call am for public . I go just carry my bag Waka comot. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 2:57pm On May 28, 2017 |
Donlittle:Oga,why you dey talk this. I told you why I called him a Rim protector,I never said he was good one,i never called him a shot blocker. Don't we have tall guys that can't even use their verticality to their advantage on defense ? Una dey talk like say what am saying is completely out of reason. I said "almost 7 footers that double has rim protector "I didn't put draymond on that list for a reason. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:13pm On May 28, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:and we are saying zaza is not a rim protector. A rim protector makes slashers and driver think twice before going to the basket. Do you think zaza will make Kyrie, love, LeBron, Smith, and co think twice before driving to the basket for a layup? Unless the meaning of rim protector has changed in recent years, zaza ain't one. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 3:27pm On May 28, 2017 |
Donlittle:say his not a good one,say offensive players of the caliber you have named above will score against the best of them and zaza can't stop them,great,we still have terrible teams in this league. and una dey talk like say na channing Frye I call rim protector. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:30pm On May 28, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:which good slashers in this league will zaza stop from going to the rim? And if he can't defend against any of these guys I mentioned, how is he a rim protector? Lol |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 3:48pm On May 28, 2017 |
Donlittle:am getting bog down on this Zaza issue. the Cavs aren't the only team in the league. I thought you already told me he wasn't an okay a Rim protector ?and I didn't dispute. I mentioned a near 7 footer and named one of the very ways he protects the rim. i looked it up to see if I wasn't not totally crazy. and I showed you the screenshot saying zaza is a Rim protector is not ridiculous as you would've it seem. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 3:57pm On May 28, 2017 |
and Donlittle,I no exactly how this talk started. Jordan is the GOAT I no dey argue that point. this "offensive polish" fact na wetin I dey dispute against I say make una check the other pippens nobody don do am, I dey comeback later. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:07pm On May 28, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:I saw your screenshot, but like I said, if you are letting in 53% of shots coming at you, then you are not an okay rim protector neither are you a rim protector, that is more than half. But okay fam, make the matter die. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:08pm On May 28, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:we don't have to check, what we are saying is facts my man. Is pippen more offensively polished than bosh, Wade, love, and kyrie? |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:29pm On May 28, 2017 |
Donlittle:Lol Kerr was not even as good as Robert Horry. That's who they are calling a Great G. I tire |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:45pm On May 28, 2017 |
Donlittle:Just pree the image I posted. How often do you see a #2 score 27 ppg and outshine the best player on the other team in an NBA Final? 27pts on 46% shooting from the field, 40% on 3's. I don't know why something wey dey so obvious una go still dey argue |
Re: The NBA Begins by Muna15: 6:05pm On May 28, 2017 |
Donlittle: Chairman, Michael is the G.O.A.T, no doubt, but he didn't average 50ppg in the playoffs. So, All I'm saying is that Michael also had help at some point in his career. 1. He had an excellent coach 2. He had Pippen who was better defensively than Wade 3. He had someone like Kerr, who could be compared to Ray Allen, as some point. Forget the stats, players like Kerr and Allen don't need to average 15-20 ppg. All they need do is to be there to make clutch 3s when the team needs them. Rodman also played a decent role during Michael's second spell with the Bulls As an aside, I think we can't compare the competition LeBron had on the road to winning 3 rings to that which Michael had. No disrespect! |

Donlittle:If I say no ? Would you agree that the NBA you watch today is vastly different from what the 90's ? That a player that average around 20pts in his four year peak on 50% efficiency is as good as it gets as it regards to sidekicks? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:13pm On May 28, 2017 |
Allen and reggie were both franchise players but someone here thinks kerr and allen only need to hit clutch shot. Wait a minute, does muna15 thinks players and reggie miller were just some random shooters that hit game winning shot? they evicted teams in the playoffs, allen milwuakee took allen iverson to 7 games in the eastern conference. Allen with the seattle also took teams down in the playoffs. wtf, you just compared kerr to allen. I AM DONE. You think lebron beating that young okc team is harder than jordan beating the bad boys piston? beating los angeles for his first championship? 1993 against charles barkley? Man, i'm tired. 3 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:15pm On May 28, 2017 |
A40:bruh, curry Bleep up sha. Nna men, you no see wetin muna15 post? he compare kerr to ray allen |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 7:17pm On May 28, 2017 |
A40:You're not getting that answer. Make we dead am. Aaargh!! Gimmie another name outside the spurs sphere. Pippen as regards to leading blazers,without possibly having the highest PPG. Jordan name no near that post. more spinning? 91-95 Pippen averaged 20 PPG on 50 % shooting. Na him prime be this. During this period Jordan,a career 30pts scorer put up 34PPG on 52% shooting you don't get more offensively polished than that all the honours,dream team, 50 greatest player,Pippen dey there with jordan. Jordan is the undisputed GoaT, Jordan sabi do most things pass Bron,but this "offensive polish sidekick "na smoke....to me anyway. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:26pm On May 28, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:Jordan last year in 1992 - 1993, pippen average 18.6pts per game. The following year, he average 22 as the number 1 option, man only made 3 more points, how offensively polished are you? You had all jordan touches but could only make 3 more points. The following year he averaged 21 without jordan as the number one option on offense again, and when jordan came back he averaged 19.4. Sircumalot, how offensively polish does that sounds? Pippen shot .491%, .480%, .463%, .474% the year his scoring went up, which we both know those were his prime. Where are you even getting this .50%. pippen average .50% twice in his career, 1990, and 1991 |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:34pm On May 28, 2017 |
Wade against dallas averaged 35 in the Nba finals. Kyrie being the number two option averaged 27 ppg in the finals against GSW. How do you say pippen is the same offensively as these guys? Is pippen a better overall player? Against kyrie, love, and bosh yes, but against wade? Wade is probably the 3rd or 4th best SG of all time. Even when MJ was out of the league, pippen could not boast of this numbers in the playoffs, regular season gan |
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 7:38pm On May 28, 2017 |
Hmmm..been learning a lot from you guys opinions about LBJ and JORDAN comparison...kudos to you guys.....you all can work in ESPN as good analysts.... For me, M.J is still the G.O.A.T but for LBJ to be getting into the conversation says a lot... I also think for now, LBJ is the most talented basketballer to grace a basketball court.... |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:39pm On May 28, 2017 |
All these talk is not the koko though. The koko is someone just compared Steve Kerr to Ray Allen. You ought to be stripped of the right to talk basketball. Does that nigga knows ray Allen was once in the dunk contest? Could shoot midrange, dunk and all? Make I go find jesus shuttleworth highlights abeg. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:44pm On May 28, 2017 |
Muna15:Dont ever disrespect ray Allen abeg. No offense but the thing wey you talk they pain me. Which kind talk be that. His lowest years he averaged more than Kerr. Three point shooter pass three point shooter. Guys like Miller and ray weren't just three points shooter, if they were, they wouldn't be franchise players. 1 Like

Re: The NBA Begins by Muna15: 8:33pm On May 28, 2017 |
Donlittle: Ray Allen had his prime years with the Celtics. The dude avg around 10ppg in the playoffs with the Heat but Heatles will always remember him for his clutch 3s not his PPG. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:46pm On May 28, 2017 |
Muna15:Ray Allen had his prime years with the Celtics? Allen averaged 26 in 2006. When did you start watching basketball? Even after I posted a screenshot of his career averages, you are still saying this. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Muna15: 9:32pm On May 28, 2017 |
Donlittle: I can see you've been watching the game since the 90s. We were talking about his time with the Heat not his entire career.So, stop bringing up numbers that have nothing to do with the argument. |
