YulisCromwell:


LMAO If it isnt the celtics fan who hates lebron because he owns their franchise. Hows life treating you? werent you guys supposed to take over the east after the king went west? hows that working out for you?

if you think its bad now just wait until kyrie goes and joins lebron in LA and AD gets traded to the lakers. We'll see how jason tatum being just 20 will win you a ring.

A40:
Of course he's wrong but I like what he said anyway. Considering he dragged a worse Lakers team to the playoffs. This season sheds more light on what Kobe had to do in the 05/06 and 06/07 seasons when he had to drag Smush Parker and Kwame Brown to the playoffs.

YulisCromwell:


Bohoo party pooper! Harden pushed off on his crossover last year and we couldnt hear the end of it for a few weeks. Leave him alone!

You lot are just mad cause the lakers arent in a state of melancholy or havent gone into depression like you want them too.

birdman:


nah. the league was not that loaded then. If your winning pct was just under .5, you still made the playoffs in the west.

on another note, all the rule changes talent infusion from abroad makes this league s different beast. Talent is no longer enough, like it was when Kobe was the leagues MVP.. Everyone has talent now.

Roland17:


OOOOOO Lord!!!! Ersan Ilyasova abi na Yusuf Cochran you carry come this season You are way too predictable but honestly, it is good to have you back. I detest conforming arguments, it is good to have handles with dissenting opinions.

My Celtics have been very disappointing this regular season and its a big shame considering the level of talent on that team. I know you have been following this thread religiously even in your hiatus and must have read pages where I argued that I am not interested in any player that would hold the Celtics hostage, now or in the future. If Kyrie moves on, I will have no problems with that, if he chooses to stay, fine and good.

Of course, LeBum needs all the help he can get, at this point his team needs 6 players on the court to balance the level of competition. Bron is no longer Bron and you know it. Father time has knocked this season and this is buttressed by the fact that he got injured this season, the number of games he sat out because of that injury. I have no problems with him needing help at his old age because that would be a fair need. So yes, Bron can have AD, Kyrie, Adam Silver and KD to help wheel him around the court next season

Roland17:


I don't mean to act all sanctimonious about celebrations, but that one was exaggerated and over the top especially if you consider "Born Ready" trapped Green's right leg with his own. I mean, compare that to CP3's cross over that sent D.J Wilson on an errand on the court.

YulisCromwell:



Ohhh seems we have ourselves a boffin here, or could it be naismiths reincarnation? FOH dummy, all insults with not one single proper take on basketball yet you are questioning someones intellect. Seems this fella is too humble to go into a war of words with you, I am not.

Oh and what the hell kind of a stupid name is yomi? Lol, a stupid name for a stupid stupid man!

YulisCromwell:

LOL So maybe the west isnt as stacked as you claim it is after all. Again, if a team wins against those teams in his conference where you are required to play them in some cases more than twice then loses to the top teams and then clears the eastern teams he should qualify for the playoffs. The funny thing is the lakers have a horrible record against the so called eastern weak conference but you confused lot keep talking about the west just to suit your dumb narrative.

YulisCromwell:

LOL! Like i said, you lot are all biased because you hate canelo. Apart from the legends i mentioned many others felt the same way too, just dont remember their names.

Hagler vs SRL, now that was a robbery.

YulisCromwell:

As a matter of fact, yes they did.

YulisCromwell:

Wilder was never going to outbox fur, what are you smoking. Wilder was only supposed to KO him and anything less than that was why everyone was unimpressed by wilder and so impressed by fury especially after getting up. Wilder won 5 rounds including 2 10 8 rounds, fury won 7. 113-113 like the BRITISH judge saw it was a fair result, everything else was hyperbole by the british fans who cant just shut their mouths, the AJ lovers and the wilder haters like you.

YulisCromwell:

LOL Fury literally admitted he refused to accept the wilder rematch but wilder was down for it. Fury even said wilder is now so pissed at him hes refusing to pick his phone calls. Fury ran and signed a contract with ESPN and now hes fighting some german tomato can, its embarrassing! One judge was american, one canadian another british, if the brit had scored it for fury then fury would have won, stop speaking out of sentiments!

YulisCromwell:

As for wilder refusing the 100m DAZN offer, heres why hes fully justified. Just a few months ago you lot said 15m was more than he ever made and he should accept it to fight AJ but now theyre offering him 40M? Hes the american with punching power, hes the one with star potential, and why was DAZN hiding what AJ was going to make? Like he said, hes with the people that made mayweather who he is so he should stick by them, very soon 100m will seem too little as well.

yomi96:
kid is that all you got?YOU ARE NOT ONLY
GULLIBLE, BUT DELUSIONAL,
BIASED, CLOSED-MINDED, AND
VERY FOOLISH AS WELL.
I no dey for people wey you fit bully o. It’s like u are
suffering from one mental
disorder, if not how do u
choose to come to my
mention to insult me. Lbj has always being an mj wanna be, he has said it himself, the only people that see him as the goat are kids who dont know nothing about the game or biased asswipes like you that take turns to ride his D.
Seriously u need to go and
have a rethink, if u come at me, i will eat u alive. u are sick in
the brain.

A40:
Lmaooo mad? I'm anything but mad. Actually amused that such a meaningless move would generate such a childish reaction

Depression lmao. Stop being so sensitive mate! The goal for the Lakers shouldn't be celebrating meaningless moves with your team 8 games under 500 especially a team with so many veterans

Roland17:

steady986:
KCP goes from scoring 35 points while playing with LeBron, to scoring 7 without him. What is it they say about this LeBron man?

YulisCromwell:


Yeah right this is the first time a crossover has garnered a reaction from the bench in the NBA.

A40:

15 teams in a Conference can't possibly be stacked. Get real please!

Your argument still doesn't make any sense. So he beat the weak teams in the West, which his competition likely also did, struggled with the top teams in the West and teams from the East but more importantly didn't make the playoffs. How does LeNomad and the rest of you Apostates come out with anything but egg on your faces?

Did LeNomad come to make the playoffs and win titles or just beat up the dross of the Western Conference to prove a laughable point

I don't hate Canelo. Had he won fair and square I'd say so. I'm not on GGG's payroll so why should I defend him blindly

Ohhhh so you know Hagler and SRL was a robbery. Maybe there's hope for you after all

Where is your proof mate?

Dude I expected Wilder to win going into the fight. However he was completely outboxed. Did you even see the Final round? Fury got up and wiped the floor with Wilder with Wilder having to hang on to him for dear life. Stop it! If the best he could get in his own country was a controversial draw then technically he lost the fight

And had the British judge ruled in favor of Fury it's still guys like you that would claim favoritism and that he was being partial to his compatriot. What pundits are asking is what fight did the Mexican judge watch that made him award a 115-111 score

The Mexican judge had Wilder 4-0 in the first 4 rounds. Lmaooooo! Who would watch that match with functioning eyes and give Wilder all 4 rounds

Last I checked Mayweather, Teddy Atlas and Max Kellerman are all Americans and not AJ lovers, try another excuse


Fury wanted a tune up fight before taking on Wilder. Nothing wrong with that. There is no rule that says Wilder must be his next opponent

It could be argued that the Brit was overcompensating and not trying to look biased it explains why nobody attacked him. The question is how did Alejandro Rochin arrive at that scorecard? This is what everyone in Professional Boxing is asking till today. His reputation is in tatters as we speak

Story for the gods. If he's serious about unifying the belts then he should take the offer. For now it's pretty clear Wilder is ducking AJ unless he can show us proof that Showtime are offering him a better deal. DAZN are not obliged to show Wilder what AJ is making. What's his business with another man's pockets?

Your windmill merchant has successfully ducked AJ for the second time. #NoSmokeWanted

A40:
It was OTT for a team not going to the playoffs. Who was that sitting and rolling on the floor like he was being exorcized

YulisCromwell:


Were they celebrating the crossover or beating the team

A40:
The score was like 32-29 when it happened. It hadn't been determined who would win or lose at that point so clearly they were celebrating the crossover

YulisCromwell:

Top teams in the east? which top teams? And there are bad teams in the west? do the warriors count as well? cause i can remember the lakers spanking them on christmas day. But wait... i thought you lot said the east was weak and all the teams are bottom feeders in the west? Stop changing the goal post.

YulisCromwell:

Because you rooted for GGG and wanted him to win period. Whether you stan him or not youre biased, admit it.

YulisCromwell:

Most media houses i personally checked predicted Canelo would lose mostly because they felt he lost the first one.

YulisCromwell:

So wilder was out boxed, i'm sorry were you expecting a different outcome? in case you missed the memo, wilder cant box, hes a KO artist/slugger. Fury is an outboxer so when it comes to the sweet science fury obviously outboxed him, but he didnt win.

YulisCromwell:

Why would there be any controversy over bias if it was as clear as you claimed especially if the other judges or one other judge scored it the same way

YulisCromwell:

Why would he need a tune up to beat a guy he just beat? Lol! Fury was scared and decided to secure the bag before fighting again period.

YulisCromwell:

Why would he under price himself going into the biggest heavyweight bought of the decade? Like i said, wilder has the biggest money making potential out of all of them. Hes the american KO artist.

YulisCromwell:

LOL He wasnt ducking the guy you lot claimed beat him when he wanted the rematch with fury. When AJ asked for 50m and got what he asked for then refused the fight, he wasnt ducking Wilder. Keep deceiving yourselves, wilder isnt scared of anyone. Just look at their current opponents Breazale though a can himself is the best out of them. But screw these heavyweights trying to be business men instead of fighting the best. Theyre all shameless. Thats why the heavyweight division is the desert of boxing now. Zero excitement. Fury wilder AJ theyre all a pack of bums! Me defending wilder doesnt change that, you lot just need to be consistent.

Roland17:


That celebration was disgraceful to watch, how the entire Lakers bench did not get a technical for stepping on the court is beyond me. I think that is the highlight of their season sufficient enough for them to bring some sort of closure.

Miles Turner is only 23!!!!! A lot of upside for the kid and with Nate he will get better especially now that he has been paid.

PG3 has to be consistent if the Thunder team hope to go deep in the post season, this is because they lack offensive depth and Brodie is not a volume scorer the team can depend on. They would have to force teams to play under 100 or 105 to get comfortable victories.

YulisCromwell:

Bare facts! I was thinking the exact same thing. Like kobe was literally never the best player in the NBA and he thinks hes the GOAT. Mamba Mentality = Delusions of grandeur.

A40:

Didn't he get blasted by Philly, Toronto and Milwaukee?

Yes bad teams like Memphis and Phoenix that took the piss on your king and hastened their demise and surrender each time they tried to mount a revival.

Anyway stop obfuscating. The crux of the whole gist is LeNomad came back to a team in playoff contention before All-star break and yet by first week of March they were already out of contention. I'm not interested in the rest of your banal arguments and nitpicking stats like Beans. It serves no purpose

I had the Lakers missing the playoffs and I wound up right

All I asked was for the fight to be called down the middle. GGG was robbed for both fights. Simple

Surely they must have a name

Stop repeating this stale retort. We know what Wilder is. The point is that with 1 and a half knockdowns (that ninth round slip don't count) the overwhelming majority didn't think Wilder even deserved a draw! Do you know how badly you have to have performed for even your own people to not believe you deserved a draw?

Because of people like you. However the important thing here to note is people are attacking the Mexican judge not the Brit. There is no way a Brit judge handing Fury the win will not also cause controversy solely based on his nationality. What matters is everyone jumped on the Mexican judge for his scandalous scorecard.

Let me ask you. Do you believe Wilder won the first 4 rounds?

Because it was argued that he took the Wilder fight prematurely to start with. You ought to be ashamed that a guy that was almost 3 years out of boxing outshone Wilder to the point even his fellow Americans didn't believe he deserved a draw in a fight held in his own country

If you want to be the Undisputed Heavyweight King then that's a small price to pay knowing you hold the aces once you win the belt.

Wilder can't generate as much money as AJ. Not in this life! Wilder on a very good day cannot fill out 15k arenas without a major name like Fury or AJ in his own country

Lmaooooo. Where was the contract for this so-called $50m monopoly money. Where the heck is Wilder going to see $50m. No one over 5 years
old believed that ruse. Wilder was asked to forward the contract of said $50m which he is yet to do till this day

Wilder ducked AJ twice refusing to agree to an April date in Wembley

The Breazale Wilder wants to fight now AJ beat 4 years ago. After all the noise AJ has been vindicated

Anyway it's a shame the way boxing has gone. I miss the good old days where the best actively sought out each other and fought with no TV drama or network circus. Now it's borderline WWE

A40:
Ugggggh. Nothing to do with the fact that it's the 2nd night of a back to back in Utah of all places. And you wonder why people troll with glee when LeNomad loses. As if Bron was not there when same team lost to the Knicks and Suns. Smh

A40:
Do you know how many times Kobe Bryant destroyed the San Antonio Spurs? Lmaooo! He was well known as the Spurs killer. I'm tired of you indomie generation fans I swear

YulisCromwell:


So because the warriors beat the cavs in 2015 curry is better than lebron?

I loved Kobe as a kid but the man is one of the most overrated players in NBA history all thanks to good marketing (Mamba mentality aka brick mentality). I guess like everything else he got his marketing team from MJ. this man legit never shot over 47% from the field. Boot leg MJ and thats saying something. I have him in my top ten though.

steady986:

I'm just talking strictly player performance here. Honestly everybody plays like crap when the king ain't playing. No leadership, everyone seems confused.

A40:
When will you stop using awful analogies mate?

Kobe beat the Spurs being the best player in the Series on 4 different occasions. With and without Shaq

45% shooting is par for the course for a high volume Shooting Guard especially in that era. He would have slightly higher numbers if he played now that there's a higher emphasis on efficiency. James Harden is arguably the best player in the league and he also shoots sub 47%. Nothing new

A40:
Even with him they still play like crap else they would be in the playoffs so what gives?

What yeye leadership has he provided this season?

YulisCromwell:
https://twitter.com/SInow/status/1111340707690749953

Bare facts! I was thinking the exact same thing. Like kobe was literally never the best player in the NBA and he thinks hes the GOAT. Mamba Mentality = Delusions of grandeur.

YulisCromwell:


How is that an awful analogy? You literally just claimed a player is better than another player because his team beat the other players team?

YulisCromwell:

Off the top of my head Drexler, Gervin, Miller and Mj are all high volume shooting guards and i can bet my left nut theyve all shot better than that. Efficiency has always been a part of the game, the bloody brick layer just never had it period. Glad you brought up Harden, theyre in the same ship. Harden is even better because he shoots more 3s.

YulisCromwell:


Stop pushing this narrative that has been refuted many times. Are you really trying to deny the lakers play better with lebron on the court? Real talk, did lebron shag your girlfriend or something?

A40:

No. I said so because he was the better player in 4 out of 6 playoff series they dueled. They are pretty much dead even on other stuff. This slander and Kobe disrespect must stop.

I get on Twitter and see Faux Lakers fans who are actually LeNomad fans slandering Kobe and downplaying his greatness

Still only one player in that list is better than Jordan. 47% shooting to 45% is the statistical hairsplittin apostates like Nick Wright and others like to dance on to push nonsense propaganda

None of this perceived lack of efficiency stopped Kobe from being the second best SG of all time. Go and ask the teams Kobe slaughtered including the Spurs in the playoffs whether Kobe was efficient or not

Harden better than Kobe? Lmaooo.
