https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsxlu7nYdhU Really interesting video for all the clowns who claim he doesnt play defense anymore. Amazing what hes still able to do even at the twilight of his career. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:40pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
ReysonDrabek:Well a fight can be exciting and still end as you expect. Like Ortiz vs Wilder, Red Viper vs The Mountain, Clippers vs Warriors I see Usyk like an Evander Holyfield somewhat. He would do just fine but probably struggle vs the truly elite like Holyfield did with Bowe and Lewis. The drop in power might mean fights drag longer than necessary, as was the case with Holyfield ReysonDrabek:This is also possible. Jacobs has a strong chin but Canelo hits hard AF. I don't think Jacobs beat GGG. A younger GGG probably knocks out Jacobs in that fight anyway. Canelo is in his prime so I agree a KO is a possibility I heard about Rungvisai catching the L today but don't really follow the small guys tbvh. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:46pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
Khanben:Lol they are stuck with Eli and the NFC cellar for the next 2 years at least. This dude would have still been available in the second round. And from all predictions thus far he's not even a top 3 QB in the draft. They could have used that pick on their defense 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:57pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
Manutd19:Unless the Rockets and especially Harden play out of his mind the Rockets will have big problems in this series. I think the Rockets got off easy against an offensively inept Jazz team and the only reason Harden is not getting more heat for his annual post-season brickfest is because there was an even worse Mason on the other side. I would legit lose my shit the next time I hear any pundit call James Harden the most unstoppable scorer in the game. He really is next to useless when his step back chucks aren't falling as he has no mid-range game, no post game and is not athletic enough to consistently finish in traffic like prime GOAT, Wade, Kobe, LeNomad,KD could With that being said I can see the Rockets stealing Game 1 but will be suprised if Golden State don't end this in 6 max |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 3:53pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
Durantula is simply a cheat code. Dude is unreal. Once the Chef finds His rythmn, the NBA might as well just cancel the rest of the Post season and hand Golden State the trophy. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:13pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
They would find it tougher for any team that comes out the East |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:21pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
A40: The Raptors/Bucks will give them one or two problems however I don't see it going past 6 games especially not when KD and Steph are on form. If any of the Celtics/76ers makes it through, we are looking at a clean sweep or a Gentleman's sweep. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Killrhymz: 5:00pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
A40:Not to mention he's only 5'8 same as Seahawks Russell Wilson. awon eyan donlittle |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 5:40pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
A40: Rungvisai lost wow. really surprised IMH, Usyk entering the heavyweights would make it more exciting and I see him as a bigger threat to AJ than wilder is. Usyk is fast, and very smart with excellent technique. He is like a smaller AJ and he could go the distance if he is pitted against AJ. Jacobs is a strong fighter no doubt but Canelo has better quality and is a better offensive fighter with an equally strong chin. Although, I admit that he may have lost against GGG if the later was younger. GGG seemed slower in both fights like he was battling rigamortis. And why is nobody talking the fight we all want to see; Crawford vs Spence Jnr. Man.......a fight of the century calibre duel |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 5:42pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
chic2pimp: I always support running the offense through him rather than steph because he has better lenght and is more of an all-rounder than steph Not taking anything away from the greatest shooter of all time though (Steph the Chef Curry) |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 5:52pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
My top ten players in the NBA now: Kevin Durant Giannis Adetokumbo Kawhi Leonard Steph Curry Damian Lillard Ben Simmons Kyrie Irving Nikola Jokic Paul George James Harden |
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 5:59pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
darkelf: No Westbrook?? |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 6:08pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
darkelf: Nah the Warriors play better when the offense is ran through Steph. He is the much better Playmaker and Ball Handler. Golden state would not be Golden state if it ran through Durant. For one the offense would be rather stagnant and won't be as fluid as it currently is. Besides that, not having that burden gives Him the freedom to become the Offensive Iso beast that He is. In addition, It also helps conserve Energy that would be needed on the defensive end of the court. |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 6:09pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
darkelf: Simmons over Embiid? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Hardetayour: 6:17pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
aliondo:Westbrick no go dey top 25 sef |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 6:42pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
aliondo: I feel like he let's his team down and chokes I'm crucial moments |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 6:43pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
chic2pimp: Yes bro. I feel he has a better all-round game than embiid. He can assist, can defend just as good and is more intelligent |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:48pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
A40: Canelos body shots are vicious, perhaps the second best body puncher in the world after Spence. He doesnt need to catch him on his jaw to stop him, especially how the rehydration clause has jacobs looking so skinny. But you do realize a younger triple G is exactly what wilder is right? Of course GGG is the far superior boxer but his resume is filled with tomato cans and truck drivers. While Canelo is fighting a unification bout your man has reverted to old habits. Dont know if hes trying to avoid too much punishment in hopes of a canelo trilogy later this year. Say what you want about canelo, he fears no man, always goes after the best. Sad about rungvisai. Hes not the same fighter he used to be anymore and his whole switch hit game plan was sh-t. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 7:59pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
chic2pimp: Anyone can be a star when all the attention is not directed at you. The same D Clippers played against Curry we did against Lou but one player was 8-14 with 24pts and the other was 3-21 with 8pts. They held, pulled grabbed. Sent bodies at him at half court to force the ball out of his hands. The man is only 6'2" at best. That is my favourite player on my team easily. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:00pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
darkelf: Picking simmons over embiid is the true mark of a clown. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 8:00pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
steady986: LOL OK. |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 8:10pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
ReysonDrabek: No need for the insults bro. Not everyone would agree with you?? Ain't? I just feel Simmons makes the team better offensively |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:11pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
darkelf:

Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 8:30pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
darkelf: I'll have to disagree Bro most especially on defense. Simmons is a Good defender whilst Embiid is a Great One(Perenial DPOY Level). He is definitely the better playmaker and as far as BB IQ goes, it's hard to judge. He might have a higher IQ just that I haven't seen it yet or should I say it is not as clear cut. With regards to having the better all around game, It's still Embiid for now until Ben learns how to shoot the ball. He is also not as Dominant as Adetokunbo is for Example to negate that flaw. |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 8:55pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
Eruditor: Steph is a different Animal altogether. Right now D'Antoni and the Rockets plans would revolve around Preventing the Splash Brothers( Steph in particular )going off because once He starts shooting lights out, it's game,set and match. The Durantula is a phenomenal player that would get His regardless however Steph holds all the keys. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 9:22pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
aliondo:Shey you are okay like this? Still having a soft spot for Westbrook? LeBron James is not even on the list. |
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 10:54pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
SmooshCHN: I know what I did there by asking that question... Na your mouth I dey find and true to my words, you responded. . How your side? |
