Why will you portray Cleopatra as a black woman

We're in era of wokeness. If you can have biological man modeling sports bras and woman beauty products then why black woman no fit portray Cleopatra

I remember when they got a light skinned babe to play Nina Simone, light skinned oh no be say na white woman. Ekun egbere everywhere. The outrage would be even worse if a white woman or racially ambiguous played a black woman role

Unfortunately Monty had to be the sacrificial lamb despite turning the team from a joke to a viable contender.

Coach life tough sha. If I were coach I would be signing lengthy deals so my payoff will be fat and you can't just sack me anyhow.

Sacking him last season might have been somewhat reactionary but understandable, this time it's just stupid. What else could Monty have done? It's not his fault Ayton has decided to be a dud. And CP3 can't ever stay healthy

Maynman:
Lakers too deep.
Abeg Lakers na still underdog oooo

Hehehehe you dey answer these people. 6 players dey score 10pts or more for series. Them say them be underdog because of fear

This team their name suppose be Mobb Deep

etidy:
I am still high on Wiggins, he's a manageable number 2 or 3 man. He started the season very good before the injuries and absenteeism and he's been good in the playoffs before this injury.

Na Klay and Poole I get problem with. Klay score 9, 10 and 8 , Poole score 0, 11 and 7 points in their last 3 games respectively while also playing shit defense and that's the 2nd and 3rs highest players on the warriors

Even KD and booker couldn't beat the Nuggets while going super Saiyan because the number 3 and 4 guys on the roster shat the bed

No matter who the top 2 guys are, you need productive points and defensive from at least 2 members of your supporting cast to beat a good team.

This is why what the warriors need right now is not another superstar. I am really surprised they didn't push enough for OG Anunoby or siakam to shore up their front court.

Like I said before Wiggins is not a shabby player but when you come against a Bron and AD. Carrying Wiggins is like taking shakabula to an AR15 fight. It's a match up thing plus guy Wiggins is an ok player that thrives where there are no expectations.

Good you mentioned Klay and Poole. Now say you had KD. What do you think the gravity of KD and Steph together does for Klay? More open shots. More easy shots and most importantly. More Free THROWS

Oya let me finally burst your head. Did you know that KD averaged more points (29ppg) in his series than Steph did. Which means he would have been your leading scorer. While Steph would have been your second option. Do you get it now?

Do you know that KD in his own elimination game outscored Wiggins, Klay and Poole combined?

KD and Booker had a weaker squad than the Warriors so bone the super saiyan talk. There's no duo you plug into that Suns roster that beats the Nuggets. Not Steph, not Giannis, not AD, not Bron.

The KD ship has sailed anyway but this was another reminder to those beating their chest about how they won last season because they didn't run into buzzsaw teams with superior high level talent.

If you think OG Anunoby would have beaten this Lakers team. Lol ok. Siakam is still understandable if he plays out of his mind

Skrrrrrrr:
Look at this troglodyte.
So 3/4 of a game is bigger than 1....
If you had any sense, you'd realise you were way off than I was.
There is a serious hole in your brain...

So na 1 quarter of game now you wan dey drag. Werey alaso

Better go and use Phensic before you run mad

Skrrrrrrr:
Eediot. You want to make this the crux of your argument, something I corrected by myself when you said he didn't miss any game at all....
I also never said the outcome of the game was moot. I said he was the best player on the court before the injury and they were leading by 2. The game was lost when he got injured...

Shut up. Since you acknowledge we both made mistakes why do you keep cackling on the irrelevant like a malnourished hyena.

Whether he was the best player on the court is not a concern of mine. The game was ongoing with the Raptors in striking range. Or was Klay Thompson injured when The Raptors were leading at Halftime? Since we're nitpicking nonsense.

Skrrrrrrr:
You are a consummate retard...
I said he missed two games, turns out it was a game and a quarter....
Your stupid ass claimed he didn't miss any game....

You're a confused shitfvck. So in your jelosinmi school they taught you 1 and 1 quarter equals to two. Bilewu

I was off by a game you were off by 3/4 of a game and your dumbass is still playing Captain Pedantic

What a baboon

etidy:
Baba na you start hypotheticals oh.
Me I respect KD, I am never on the extreme on this issue.

I am even surprised how the game we watched today degenerated into a KD debate. Austin reaves outplayed klay, Russell outplayed Poole. Wiggins tried his best but he's missed a ton of games this season and he was injured today. Draymond has been ass for a while and you can't have an undersized looney as your only big man. Losing key bench guys without adequate replacement.

These are the issues instead of hypotheticals about Durant.

You lost two games by narrow margin. They had 29 free throws to your 6 in one of the losses. You think you get only 6 Free throws with Kevin Durant on the court? You people abeg nauu

Forget all this Russell and Reaves talk. They didn't have more than 2 really good games the entire series. The only difference is it was staggered.

The constants were Bron and AD. You needed another bonafide reliable star to tackle them not these Wiggins, Poole una dey call.

Draymond helped win Game 5 at least. You expected more than that?

Skrrrrrrr:

Why I dey follow you argue sef. You didn't even know klay missed a full game. I gave you that info.
You are just one of those people that feel to big to admit a mistake....

Keep asking yourself stupid questions.

What does this megedefegede you're chatting have to do with the fact you claimed Klay missed two games.

Have you admitted your goof? Goofy

Skrrrrrrr:
By the way, this don't make any iota of sense....
Does Klay being on the court mean they won't lose a game?
This is like saying because they lost with him being there, his presence is not important.
What utter tosh

We're not saying his presence is unimportant ya muppet. We're saying stop claiming Klay missed two games or was lost for two games.

We're also saying he played and they lost so stop pretending like him missing the 4th quarter rendered the outcome of the game moot.

Skrrrrrrr:
Omo. This nonsense you are confidently speaking is starting to irritate me....
You don't need to be a Brainiac to know that missing a game and a quarter for your second best player in a series where the difference was 2 games is a LOT.

You're yarning dust. A game and a quarter is not a two game equivalent. Stop being a fraud combining the two

Skrrrrrrr:
Ogbeni.
You are not making any sense either....
You don't need to be a Genius to get my point....
I don't give 2 bleeps about the expectations from wiggins before he joined the warriors and I don't care about our discovery about Poole. Those variables were not there last season, and the fact that they appeared this season, made all the difference.
It really isn't rocket science...
I'm going to desist this unnecessary back and forth because it's starting to get crazy seeing as you are one of the few I respect here....
But you are seriously capping right now....

Ogbeni I no care for your respect ohh. No be food and no be money

I'm telling you that Wiggins and Poole are not elite level players you expect consistency from every season.

Keep talking about last season. When we have already told you that these players Wiggins and Poole you keep mentioning have no track record. If you want to remain on a jonzing thing be my guest.

Skrrrrrrr:
Why you dey shout Jesus for simple maths.
I didn't say they won only two games, I said they won with two games.
Klay thompson missed one full game, and left in the 4th quarter of the other.
That you are mischievously pretending it is not a factor is what I find amusing. You are starting to sound like blueelf, abi are you the type that never admits a gaffe?

What is this nigga smoking? Why do you keep repeating this useless information of they won by 2 games. Was it supposed to be a sweep?

Bottomline is the Warriors lost with Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson did not miss two games. He missed one.

How can it be a factor when they lost even with Klay on the court. You have no leg to stand on gee. Dey talk like say e miss the full series.

Skrrrrrrr:
You are listening slower.....
Tha warriors always win atleast one away game in every series.... They flunked game one, if they had atleast stolen a game away, as usual, we'd be looking at a game 7.
Wiggins was good enough to be an all star last season, and good enough to be the warriors second best player in the finals. If he was just as good as last season, e for make sense.
Poole was also good enough to receive that contract. Even at his best, he was not a defensive Juggernaut and we never expected him to be. So you are just arguing with yourself...

You're not making sense. Since you know you're a bad road team this year the more reason you absolutely had to win all your home games. Why are you now talking about away games when you know you had been terrible on the road all season long

Andrew Wiggins has been in the league since 2014. Zero All NBA, Zero All defense. A number 1 pick that is getting a fringe all star appearance for the first time in 2022. That's who you're banking on? Hehehe ok

What concerns me with another man money? The Warriors are the ones that will deal with the consequences and repercussions of the contract not me. Y'all are the ones stuck with Poole and will have to wail about his performances now that you have discovered he's not good at any particular aspect of basketball

larride:
Which game are you guys talking about? This just concluded series?

Raptors 2019

Skrrrrrrr:
Multiples times with you just admitting klay missed a game and a quarter.
For a series that was won with two games...
Where you get the multiple times from chairman

Jesus Christt. Didn't Klay play Games 1 and 4? Didn't they lose?

He played almost all of Game 6 so where did your two games come from when he only actually missed 1

Skrrrrrrr:
If they had also won one away game, they would also be a game 7.
Your argument is just everywhere...
Whether wiggins was in the bust record is not important. Fact is, he was exceptional last season and suddenly he wasn't. Poole was also good enough to convince the warriors to give him that contract. Porter and Bjelica were good options off the bench. No one Said they were exceptional but they were good role players...
This warriors team did not become Bad against the lakers. They were bad all season long....

They had home court. They did not need a road win. All they needed was win all home games.

Naah you're listening slow. We're telling you Wiggins has never been a consistent performer, him being exceptional last season and dipping this season was par for the course.
Poole was a defensive turnstile with questionable shot selection. He had one Supernova series against the Nuggets but there was no evidence he was going to be consistently good. He was always up and down and never a consistent performer

I never said they were bad vs the Lakers. I said they don't match up well vs the Lakers. I didn't give you guys zero chance just because you were bad all season. After all you had a better record than the Lakers

Skrrrrrrr:
Nothing concern you for this argument normally. Not even facts....
If say something concern you, you no go dey yarn all this unnecessary things wey no add up....

Weak rebuttal. Bottomline you lied about Klay missing two games. He missed a game and 1 quarter. You lost multiple games even with Klay on the court and were never in control of the Raptors series. Simple and short

etidy:
Baba me I no know all that dynasty talk, wetin we know be say , the warriors legit won two without him and two with him. Hypothetically, they could have won about 3 , if he never joined.

We also know that he has only been to one final without the warriors and he never won it .

I consider Durant the 3rd greatest player of this era after LeBron and Steph but it is what it is , he was just an overkill on the warriors.
Being a piston bad boys is not a bad thing , at least they won something and are remembered in history, the great hakeem olajunwon only won one ring and his legacy is intact. Kobe won only two rings without shaq and his legacy is intact and nobody I saying today that Kobe would have been a piston bad boy ish without shaq.

Na when these issues reach Steph and Warriors we dy always see these caveat.

This is why I said you're jumping to the other extreme. We know what the Warriors have done without him. Don't tell me about hypothetical. No bank will give you any credit with hypotheticals

What we know is when faced with the elite of the elite the Warriors have not shown ability to win without KD.

If you like call him an overkill at least with him you won't be facing Bron with any fear.

The crux of the issue is Golden State and Steph went from good team to dynastic and Steph is now in conversations of top 10 all time cos of those extra rings. Whether you like it or not his legacy has been elevated with those 2 extra rings won with KD's help

Olajuwon won two rings btw

Skrrrrrrr:
Again.
Klay thompson missed game 3 and was arguably the best player in Game 6 until his injury.
When he left, they boxed steph and the game ended....
And they lost by 2 games...
Bye bye....

Story man. That one no concern us.

You were 1-0 down, 2-1 down, 3-1 down. Never led the series. Klay played bumper to bumper and you lost two of those games. Even the much ballyhooed game 6 you've been shouting about you were only up 2. 2! With 12 minutes to play.

So leave this your story for tortoise

Skrrrrrrr:
The warriors team team that won the ring last season did not have this abysmal away record bros. Your points are not adding up.
Let's not pretend the warriors lost because the Lakers were better. The warriors of last season would beat this lakers clean. Wiggins was good, Poole was manageable. They also had potter and Bjelica. Very good options off the bench. They won game 5 with curry unable to score in double digits.
Cmon
This is a team that barely beat the Kings. Forget fan love, I knew this team wasn't beating anyone good. KD wouldn't have saved this guys. If Poole and Wiggins were just as good as last season, this would have gone differently. The only two games where either klay or Wiggins showed up, the warriors won.... Abi no be this series wey we just watch?
Adding KD would mean a chunk of the bench unit won't even be there. It's just going to be him and curry and they won't do jack....

Away record is not why you lost. If you won all your home games we would be talking about a Game 7.

You're not beating this team even with your last year squad. Because you didn't meet a team as good as this Lakers team. You want to pretend like Bjelica and Porter were not average. Guy abeg no take laugh kill me.

Nothing like barely beat, beat is beat. You were the more seasoned and experienced team running into a team making it's playoff debut.

Why will Poole and Wiggins be as good as last season? What was their track record previously. You're pretending like these guys were tested and trusted guys. Wasn't Wiggins in the bust conversations? Could it be that he reverted to his normal level? Reverted to mean?

Him and Curry with some of your other role players would have been enough to make this a winnable contest. With Wiggins and Poole you lot never had a prayer. We have proof KD can take you over the top vs Bron, sadly the rest of the guys you mentioned there can't say the same

Skrrrrrrr:


You didn't even know he missed a full game before now.
And the game he left in the 4th, he was cooking and they were up.
It looks like you just want to argue this one, cos you are not making headway here....

Why did you claim he missed two games. You literally lied and you're saying something else.

They were up by 2 going into the 4th in a must win game for them. Was the game over? Who cares if he was cooking? Players no dey vanish for 4th quarter. You're chatting like they were ever in control of the series. The only time the series was tied it was 0-0. Every other time you were behind chasing

etidy:
You dy fall my hand sha but you have a good track record of great and sensible basketball takes here, so you have my attention and respect.

I am not downplaying Durant's contribution, all I am saying is that he was just the icing on the cake, he's not the cake. You can add another type of icing and the cake may not be so great but still ridiculously good.

A clown warriors can can also say LeBron has never beat a healthy warrior team. Let's get credit where it's due and leave hypothetical for one side.


I respect Durant oh and wished he stayed with the warriors but he's not essential to the warriors winning a title, they won with him, they won before and after him. Case closed.

Lol. Na you sabi that one oh. Me I no come here for any man attention or adulation. We're all equals here

Whether you call am icing or whatever. Me I'm telling you when facing the greats you're going to have to do better than Harrison Barnes, Andrew Wiggins. And that's where KD came in. I'm you don't know better than Steph, Dray and Iguodala that flew the equivalent of a continent to beg KD to come. KD joining the Warriors is the difference between them being a dynasty and a Bad Boy Pistons type team in NBA folklore

Lebron had never beat a healthy Warriors team? Who was the unhealthy person this year and 2016?

A basketball series is first to 4. They got to 4 before you. The rest is igbe lenu vendor
The Warriors FO did not believe a slight tweak would do which is why they went for KD

Whether you believe he was essential or not his two FMVPS over Lebron led teams are receipts of his essentialness. Nobody said the Warriors have not won without him. We're saying KD is the difference between a dynasty and the Detroit Pistons who just fell short of being a dynasty. Simple

And this season is another harsh reminder that you guys cannot beat a complete Bron team without KD

Skrrrrrrr:
Bros. You didn't even watch that series.
Klay missed game 3, and hobbled through the rest of the series.
He also went away in game 6 with the warriors up by 2.
In a series that was decided by a margin of two games, losing your second best player in 1, and having him get injured in the 4th quarter of another game you were winning, makes all the difference.....
Imagine losing Davies in say any game in this series and having him out in the fourth quarter of ay of the close games....

Lmaoo. If the subject is basketball just sempe. I've not missed a series since 2004.

He missed essentially a Game and a quarter so stop the cap. Where did 2 games come from?

Hobbled? Kawhi was also hobbled and could barely move at times. Find another excuse

What do you mean by they were winning? Shey game don finish? Basketball game is how many minutes long again? You mean the Warriors did not lose games Klay played from start to finish abi what kin excuse is this you're dropping

etidy:
People even forget that without KD, it was looking like the warriors would beat the raptors until klay blew his ACL and that was a team with a depleted bench.
Omo I love and respect KD , but make we park this debate.

Looking like you would beat the Raptors you were in an elimination game at home ffs. In the unlikely event you won you still had to go to Toronto for a game 7

etidy:
Baba you dy cap, Wiggins is no KD but he has shown he's good enough for the warriors to win a title.

On this Durant issue ehn, I don't know why we still over flog it.
Durant was an important ingredient for the warriors to win the two titles but the point OGs like Barkley often make is that hypothetically , any forward slightly better than Harrison Barnes or even continued improvement of Barnes would have still made the warriors favourites.
Durant was essentially an over kill.

Let's not forget that without Durant, the warriors have been to 3 finals, won two and lost one but pissing a 3-1 lead. In fact, it took probably the best Basketball performances in history from arguably the GOAT and his side kick to come back from 3-1 + warriors choking and Injuries.


So it was not a given that , the Cavs would have won those titles during the Durant era if he wasn't there. It would still have been a hard dough bloody war and any good forward or center would have tilted the odds heavily in the warriors favour.

So in summary the warriors needed durant, but if we are honest , he needed the warrior far more than they needed him.

Warriors without KD: maybe 3 titles instead of 4

Kd without warriors : 0 titles.

Like I said some of you Warriors fans have veered to the other extreme. What's funny is you want to count 4 chips for Golden State while still downplaying KDs contributions for those titles.

Forget guys like Barkley, didn't he play on same team with Olajuwon, Drexler, Pippen? Did he win. Why are we pretending like na all super teams dey succeed.

Any body slightly better than Barnes is good against the small boys not generational talent like Bron and AD like you guys are finding out again. The Warriors last year were able to not meet teams with those stratosphere of players. And thus went ahead to win. When you face truly generational guys Andrew Wiggins is not going to get the job done so if you like call KD overkill. The proof is in the pudding

Without Durant you got to the Finals but who did you meet in the Finals? An undermanned Cavs team. A rookie Celtics team still wet between the ears. Their best player is 24 years old ffs. Was probably 23 in that Finals

Choking is part of the game. Which injuries? Don't say Andrew Bogut please.

Guy. Every single time you have met Lebron on equal footing you've lost till you added KD, even when you met a lesser version of Lebron in Kawhi you still lost.

Another series concluded and Andrew Wiggins, Klay and Dray couldn't deliver yet you sound so confident that the Warriors would have beaten a younger Lebron, Kyrie and Kevin Love. I call cap on that one.

Warriors without KD it's highly likely you're on 2 titles as we have no verifiable evidence your Warriors can beat a healthy Lebron squad

Skrrrrrrr:
Isn't it the same series we lost klay thompson in like 2 games?

Lol lost where? Una don start. He missed the 4th quarter of Game 6. Where did 2 games come from?
