Lool Jokic. What was that pass

This tempo is favoring the Heat. Nuggets have to push the tempo

Verstappen made it look too easy. Impressive from Hamilton to wind up 2nd. These other guys really aren't a threat. And it's not just the car either else Perez would be up in front with him

@A40, the Stanley Cup Final is here!

Florida Panthers v Vegas Golden Knight.

This match up is causing some serious uproar in the hockey community because both cities do not get snow. I think it speaks to how far the game has come.
The Knights are a good story of how to run a franchise. They are a 2017 expansion team that have made 4 out of the 5 playoffs and now playing in the Finals, which is impressive.

I am picking the Knights but in hockey, anything is possible..
People will find anything to bxtch about if you let them. The cup is contested towards and into the summer. The teams are filled with Canadians. What does it matter?

The Knights are stacked. Would be silly to bet against them. I don't know how they're able to assemble a crack squad every season it seems. I think the privilege they were afforded to be able to pick really good players from each team has made them an Allstar team of sorts.

Then they get to pick really good #1s from struggling teams guys like Eichel, Marchessault and Stone, pick up Stanley cup winners like Pietrangelo in the D-Line. It's an Allstar squad

My guy had almost 20000 points on that ugly jumpshot.

That shot be like when you they use Omo rogun turn Amala grin.

Scoring in the paint and all that. Idk man, Shooting 10+ threes in one game and you are not the star player nor a three point specialist
He shot like he had a hunchback and still made it work.

He had a running floater, could slash to the basket. And had a decent bag.

Strus doesn't play any D so I can't call him a 3 and D guy so he has no excuse to not having a floater or layup package at least, when you're facing a team like Denver you can't have a black hole on offense.

The way Jokic has manipulated this game. This is triple double without breaking a sweat.

He's on 15pts but you know he can score 30. Takes a special player to know what you have around and just feed everyone else while you sit on your 5 shots
donlittle25:
You go think say jokic get 10 points, Check stats and na 25. I no understand
That was end of the 3rd. He just switched to Gear 2 in the 4th. Watching the game if Jokic wanted 35 he could get it. These guys have nothing for him. He just wanted to feed others

Just calmly scored 12 of Denver's 20 points in the final quarter

Baba, I just they on my laptop they work. Every 24 seconds, struss, won't go. Na only you? grin
This 3pt spamming I dey always talk it has really ruined the game. What happens is players have no other way to score and are essentially useless on the court. I mean even Shawn Marion had the ugliest jumpshot in league history but had other moves to score. All these guys do is spam 3s finish

They have pretty much wasted Bam's only good offensive game of the series

The lack of size mean the Heat have to rely on the high P&R at the top and hope they can cash in with the 3 balls.
The only way this series is close is if the Heat shoot as well as they did in the Bucks and Celtics series. If they can shoot at that clip then I will accept they are a team of destiny

The Denver rotation is so good that they can switch everything which has troubled the Heat, especially when you consider the Heat are so small.
The size disparity is going to be a problem all series long.

The Heat have heart sha but when Jamal Murray is the smallest guy in your opponent's rotation you know you might be in for a short series

His tenure expires next year. If Tinubu shows willingness, I believe the court can grant DSS the order to arrest him if DSS case is more convincing than the other one they presented.

If the 10th assembly meet. Tinubu can also sack him if he shows willingness. Economical sabotage is a strong reason and most senator will back that.

Everything is on Tinubu now.
You're right. Whatever happens the indecision of Buhari is not what Nigerians can afford.

Tinubu sold himself to some as an economic fixer. Now is the time to show and prove. Enu o se Durella.

Hope is not a strategy bro. I'm seeing subsidy removal which is good but we're not seeing reduced costs of governance. Presidents, Governors, lawmakers are not taking paycuts.

None of them are leading by example so I don't understand this morbid optimism the average Nigerian seems to have

I'm with you on Ime. He was an arrogant prick tbh but a very good coach nonetheless and they shafted him like he did not make significant strides with the team. They treated him like anyone else could do what he did.

I have nothing against Mazulla and I know he is going to take a bulk of the blame but his players just don't have enough willpower and discipline to go with all the smugness.
They're not serious. All this cos they chose to side with a hussy. Unless he knacked the wife of the owner himself what is the sense in firing him. Does that undo the knacks?

The team had a lot of bad habits that Udoka was checking and looking at the players themselves they were very upset at Udoka getting axed. They're a very talented team but very much a work in progress. Sacking Udoka they must have arrogantly assumed anyone could just come in and do what he did forgetting the turnaround job he did to where they now see a title challenge as their birthright

Y’all thought I was joking about his ineptitude all season? This is something I have been wailing about from the start of the season. We have not even talked about throwing the correct lineup, use of time out and final 2 minutes adjustments. Man is a joke when it comes to coaching. I’d admit the players were poor but man, Mazzulla made class clown!
When they say it's better to keep quiet and let people assume you're a mumu than to talk and remove all doubt. He's exactly what we're talking about. Overall your Celtics are a very indisciplined team it must be said, I don't recall a team that lost 6 home games without even making the Finals. That's egregious

However there's also a smugness and arrogance I sense with Mazzulla. This is good when you have conviction and know what you're doing not when your clueless like he is.

The problem is not even in the lineup IMO. The problem is he's a poor man's D'Antoni and Daryl Morey that believe spamming 3s is the only path to success. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have bought into that philosophy and instead of these two big wings to become efficient midrange scorers they become inefficient 3pt spammers.

Look at Booker and KD the only two guys that gave the Nuggets any real problems. What did they have in common? Solid midrange game.

It's just like golf. Anybody can hit the ball hard and long but the short game is where it's usually won and lost for those who know

etidy:
Facts, big facts. I think this is ultimately on the coach, it's your responsibility to draw up plays for your team and ensure your team sticks to it.

When you see your star player struggling, spamming threes and can't draw up a simple play to give him an easy point or preach patience and ball movement, then it means you are either a clueless coach or the players don't respect your voice.
The more I hear Mazzulla talk the more I realize he's simply unfit for the job.

His strategy at this point is send the players on the court and the more 3s we shoot the more we can win. This only works when you have prime Steph and Klay and this is what a lot of these coaches refuse to understand.

Even look at that game there was a point they kept missing almost ten 3s straight and at no point did they say let's switch it up

Jaylen Brown who used to be a decent 3 level scorer has now embraced Tatum's bad habits of spamming 3s. He's someone that can score exactly like Jimmy does and doesn't need to take more than 3-5 3s a game

They shot 9/42. Just to guarantee they had no shot to win and when you hear Mazzulla it's clear that aside spamming 3s nothing else dey him head
