Good Lord sad How do you not know when you overrate your importance?

I can prostrate and beg on his behalf at this point.

We don kukuma manage sign am for 1yr/5.9M rental. Not a bad deal for the Celtics. He would bring that experience and depth in that position and he definitely wants to ball out to prove a point.

Everybody know sey the Celtics wicked pass Buhari and his boys. I wish the Warriors will take a page and learn a thing or two. For real I'm just praying he doesn't get injured or something.

A minimum viable product (MVP) is the development approach in which a new product is developed with the number of features that are sufficient for early users. The final set of more advanced features is only designed and developed after receiving and analyzing feedback from the product’s first users.
Let’s explore MVP software development.

Sorry my friend, although you didn't mention Bledsoe was the better player overall, you did mention he was as good. Surely you think differently now. And that's fine.
steady986:

Naa fam. Bledsoe is as good, if not better on defence.

This is another statement you made. This was surprisingly easy to find. @birdman, you left your position and agreed with him that you were probably reading too much into the Holiday effect. cheesy grin . Don't give in to those Lebron people, sorry I forgot you are a Lebron person too. I just felt like finding old receipts today. grin Page 1645 was certainly a busy one on this subject.

They lost Eric Bledsoe and added Holiday. To me that's a like for like on defence. So I don't really know if they improved on that end.

At least he can say he did it because he wants to compete for championships and those teams couldn't offer that. What was Schroder's excuse? grin

But sha, it's always wise to secure the bag first and ask for a move later. Perhaps he couldn't wait.

O yes English is one of my problems. It's not my tongue, as i would think is so for many other people on this platform. That being said rest assured I know just enough to communicate, and you may want to stop making statements like "You can tell us that English is your problem and we'll understand", it's not a helpful tactic, and you do not know who's on the other end. Some of us just overestimate our level of proficiency or sophistication. You clearly said it was like for like on defense, and this recent postseason has shown he's better, now how much anyone thinks he's better would certainly vary from one person to another. It's ok to admit it, you were wrong, and you could certainly avoid it all together, as you suggested in another post: "You are two days late". cheesy. That's also fine. And don't be too reactive, no be everything be fight now, my friend.

Na you carry cutlass dey come attack me. I've told you that the only comparison I made concerning the two was on defense. And you brought that one as evidence even when it clearly implied that I was comparing their defense. As for whether Bledsoe or Jrue is better or not on defense, that was a very valid argument when I made it in 2019. Their accolades, as well as eye test, suggests that. Although it's OK to say that Jrue has since then gone on to be better on defense. But the simple truth is that Bucks were 1st on defense the last 2 years with Bledsoe (102.5 and 104.9). As soon as Jrue came in they relinquished that position to someone else, moving down to 9th (110.7). Make of that what you wish.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 5:38pm On Aug 12, 2021
Abeg no lie, It was in December 2020. cheesy. That stat you posted was in the regular season. Given that Bucks were very impressive in the regular season and underwhelming in the postseason, i would expect you to know better. Or perhaps let's put it another way, Holiday has been better when it matters most as Max would put it. cheesy. We remember what Holiday did to Dame in the 2018 western conference playoffs. This was why others opined he is better, even defensively. Going into the 2020/2021 season they had both been all defensive players twice, so the difference then comes when you factor in their pedigree in the palyoffs.

2020 or 2019, what does it matter? As long as I made it before the season started.

We all know the Bucks meltdown was almost entirely due to Giannis. Role players will be role players. If your superstar doesn't show up there's little you can do.

Smh. I like how you dey nitpick. Dey act like say Jrue dey turn Gary Payton for playoffs wink Sha, if Kyrie and Harden no get injury we for no dey even get this argument. Or even Trae. Trae wey drop 48 on top Jrue head. Trae that was averaging 32 before he got injured. Abeg leave me o.

He already said this story is cap. I wonder why people are parading it. You do not award figures just because the baby daddy earns XYZ amount of money or else Chris Brown would have been paying the same. There has to be an established history between the couple, and proof that the child will be improperly taken care of by the other partner should they not earn that much and we all know it is not true.
