Hehehe. I'd be shocked if AD doesn't average 40 this series. Underdog una

Roland17:
As expected, the Grizzlies are moving on from D. Brooks, they have no intentions of resigning him as he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

T. Jenkins and the Grizzlies enabled him in overstating his value and relevance. It took them consecutive seasons of horrible on court performance ls and distractions to realize the obvious.

Someone needs to sit T. Jenkins down and help him understand he has to keep learn to hold his team accountable on and off the court, otherwise, they would achieve nothing.

What perplexes me is how are they just seeing what I saw since 2020. What's now their scout team, Analytics and GM doing that they were not aggressive in moving him away

They could get any hungry guy from BAL the G-League anyone would have been better than Dillon Brooks

birdman:
na jus game o. oga be calming dan lets enjoy the series

Maifren gerrout

This one Jimmy Butler is injured shey the Heat no go bring OG Udonis Haslem come outside.

See real underdog here oh. Missing it's two best players not the fake underdog una dey parade upandan

felix00:
Deserved?

Well deserved. Led the league in scoring again and had come close twice

With Chris Paul's injury we might be looking at a sweep. Chai shey KD for just dey Brooklyn jeje

A40:
His first shot was an airball. I've been following Dillon Brooks since the bubble pandemic season. That 24 on his shirt makes him think he's Kobe. He has the worst shot selection in the entire league and I'm not exaggerating.

Whatever they think he offers in defense he will easily offset with his rubbish shot selection. To make the next step he's the first guy Memphis has to trade just like GSW moved Monta and Monta was nowhere as bad as this dude

Lmao exactly my words this time last year. They waited a year too late IMO

For a team trying to win Dillon Brooks is a liability you simply cannot afford.

I've been on to this guy since the bubble pandemic. Takes too many low IQ shots, cannot pass, cannot really defend. If this was the series that broke the camel's back it was long overdue because how are they just seeing what I had noticed 4 seasons ago?

birdman:
I see no lies told!

Question for yall using style to hate. MJ with the Wizards at 38, how far did they go in the playoffs, in the East?

Oh thats right, they didnt even make the playoffs twice, including a 37 win season!! Your GOAT o. But here they are insisting Lebron at 38 must move mountains. Does that not mean he has surpassed your GOAT at 38? According to you o, not me.

Do I want Lebron to win? Yeap. That doesnt mean I am blind to whats on the ground. You think he can play like he did 5-6 years ago for 48 minutes every other night? If he was a guard, like MJ, you could even say smaller body, less wear. Lebron has played more power than finesses his entire career. But nooo, you insist he must defeat father time as well.

Thats why Im not even going to pay attention to the haters anymore. Let them have nightmares every night sef. Im going to enjoy this matchup. Its one for the ages. But I amnot watching this with blinders

You people are not ashamed one bit. Can you name one or two players in MJ's roster let's compare with those that played with Lebron. We're not even going to get into the fact that Jordan had taken 3 years of basketball and had already completed 2 3peats. See malaria comparison

I've never seen a team have two top 10 caliber players and they're not expected to do anything. Anything at all.

This dude missed the whole playoffs with 3 top 75ers. Had a 33 win season ffs. 33!!

Oh btw Jordan was 39 and 40 when he missed the playoffs. And if there was a play in tournament who knows? Get your facts right

We are not saying he should move mountains. We're saying stop pretending he's some underdog while going against teams that are well inferior or teams they match up well against. Don't be so disrespectful to your goat. Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks are not better than Lebron and AD I'm sorry. My 'hate' no reach that level

They comfortably beat the Grizzlies with Lebron averaging 22ppg. Two of the 4 wins ended in blowouts. So clearly there is no need to move mountains because they have a deep squad

Nightmare that what happened? You jokers are clueless. I predicted this team would be a problem as far back as early January. Not my fault that most of you are too chickenshit to stand on one square. How do you gloat at the haters when you've been playing poosie all season long

monerozi5590:
How do you negotiate pass this? I know there are genuine desire and all but they don't come in manifold and most of them are not your taste but few.

I understand your feelings but men with money will continue to buy loyalty with money as long as there are getting married to their specification.

I think as a man deep down you know a woman that you only got cos of your pockets. You know

The problem with many men who have tried to buy loyalty and failed is that the damage to your pockets and reputation can be unquantifiable especially when you're just rich and not powerful enough to make your problems go away.

Go and ask those men paying Alimony through their nose if they wished they didn't try to buy loyalty with money

larride:
Remember me asking you why nobody is rating Denver this year?

People didn't really know how Murray and Porter were going to shape up to be fair

It's very interesting how Jokic was killed last season for having to battle with Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo.

It's clear the Nuggets have been grossly underrated

Afromentalist:
A prediction is just that. A prediction not a prophecy.

The point here is not to debate whether it will turn out as predicted but which team as of now is considered favorite.

Bookmakers consider GSW (defending champion o!) the top team. Sport analysts overwhelmingly predict the same.

Why do you want us to consider your OPINION as supreme with regards to which team is the underdog except you are actually the one with a not so hidden motive to use it as an argument to despise Lebron should the Lakers fail?

What is the prediction based on? What metrics? What information was disseminated from that graphic that suggests it was informed or well thought out. That same article has 13 'analysts' picking the Suns over 3 that picked the Nuggets. Tells you all you need to know

I've told you Bookmakers do not factor accuracy when setting their lines. Money sets their lines. Just one or two big money bets on LA their lines will shift quick. Stop being naive

You don't need to consider my opinion. I don't care if you do. All I'm saying and will continue to say is that painting the Lakers as this plucky underdog is phony and pathetic.
In what planet is the 7th seed the underdog to the 6th seed. You guys should have some shame please. They finished 44-38 while Lakers finished 43-39 and beat the Warriors 3-1 H2H. Abeg nau. Shame is free

You want to have your cake and eat it. You would praise Lebron for winning but we can't slander him if he fails? Comot for there with that malaria talk. I'm paying him the ultimate compliment and respect for having high expectations with this loaded team. You're the ones disrespecting him by accepting ready made excuses in case of failure

Skrrrrrrr:
If the nuggets steal this game with Murray and Porter performing this badly, there may be no comeback from the suns. They do not have enough scorers. Durant and Booker cannot outscore the nuggets..

There is no comeback for the Suns if you ask me. They are skint.

Sixers vs Nuggets

Embiid vs Jokic final would be quite the matchup. Let's see if basketball gods can make it happen.

Barring catastrophe I don't see these Suns getting past Nuggets. They got away beating a short handed Clippers squad. No shot they win 4 of the next 5 games with 2 still to be played in Denver

Afromentalist:
Predictions according to sport analysts.

What's the difference between you and these "sport analysts" and what informed analysis did you see in that image you just posted?

Most of them picked Boston last year and we saw how that turned out.

Didn't expect this game to be a low scoring slugfest. Peak 90s early 2000s basketball

Roland17:
There goes game 1.

Ngl if you guys lose this series I will join Ime Udoka to dance etighi at the Celtics

Celtics were 1.2 to win according to Vegas. Meanwhile $100 on Sixers would have given you $445 extra. I'm sure many mugus will have ran and gone to give Celtics the win because Vegas knows basketball

James Harden has played like someone who is going to demand a supermax this summer

Mehnn Sixers no gree oh

Harden on redemption mission.

You people should have some shame please. Can't be underdog in your early years, prime, mid prime, latter years. Underdog from start to finish. Na wa

Sixers have surprised me this far. Only 3 pts down

Skrrrrrrr:
Bro. Not to shit on LeBron or his legacy.
But LeBron has always played won with a super team. He has never won with any team similar to the 2015 warriors or the warriors of last season.
Curry is a better performer than LeBron. His fans clearly know this, else they won't tag him to be an underdog. Curry would have 8 rings if he played with the kind of squad LeBron had.
Imagine Curry playing alongside Wade and Bosh, or with prime love and kyrie.
Or Curry with AD. He'd have left Miami with 4 rings atleast.

Lol when I say these people talk from both sides of their asses I'm not even being facetious. I couldn't believe my eyes seeing fans of the so called best player accept underdog tag vs Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks. Let's assume bookmakers were dumb enough to parade such foolishness shouldn't you the fans know better?

That's why I said take out Bron and put Curry on that Lakers team and these same people will tell you the Lakers are favorites. They are confused

But then again I'm not surprised. Even in his prime they found a way to make him the underdog even with that loaded Miami Heat team. Why are you now the best if you're always the underdog no matter how good your squad is. Abi they don't know being the best comes with expectations?

Embiid needs to visit one Baba in Cameroon. The timing of these his injuries is not ordinary eye

Shior awon alailojuti.

Just like the Grizzlies series, what's funny is if you swapped Steph for Bron on that Lakers team, the Lakers will jump from 'underdogs' to favorites.

So it begs the question why do Bronsexuals convulse when people say Steph is better or the most dominant player of the era. I've never seen this kin confusion before. Why call him the best and even with this solid squad still say he's an underdog. You don't know being the best comes with expectations?

This team put together in the last 2 months have been the best team in the West since the Allstar break. Wetin concern Vegas with what plays out on the actual court? Keep telling you people if you follow Vegas you will go bankrupt. Only amateurs still refer to that useless piece of information in isolation before betting.

I want more than anything for the Lakers to get dumped out so I'm proven wrong but this shamelessness wey una dey display is just sad. Lakers were 3-1 in H2H vs the Warriors but you people want to be underdogs so bad cos you're scared your guy might lose. Make una show some balls and conviction for once nau

BlueRayDick:
I want to believe the roles their father’s relatives played after his demise must have a big hand in their drive towards Feminism . They were probably angry with how the Igbo culture didn’t rate the female child in inheritance matters.

Funny thing with people like that is they overdo things and will start seeing every man through the lens of misogyny , chauvinism and so on

Some of this is true. And on the other hand a lot of these feminists and rad fems are that just because. If you check critically a lot of them have never actually been hurt or harmed by men infact on the contrary men have been responsible for them living comfortable lives. They hear of some random girl in Afghanistan and Indi and channel all that rage to men overall.

What I found interesting is that of all regions in Nigeria Igbo women actually go to school the most, in fact after the war most parents sent their daughters to school while the sons were taught to learn trade and other blue collar handwork. In fact of all the tribes I'd argue it's Northern women that should be the most rabid feminists because they're the ones that really suffer gender inequality. Not the Igbo men that ensure these same women live in the lap of luxury

It's funny too how they're all feminists till they bring the bill or invoice that's when you hear even the most independent holla. "I be woman oh"

BlueRayDick:
Until the elite up north are ready to discuss these talking points, I don’t think much will change .

North remembrance no dey reach that side

Emaprince:
You are very right. It's mostly among the illiterate men. Infact the most simps are the illiterate traders. They are the ones sponsoring girlfriends in schools. When it comes to woman matter, their senses fly out the window.

I have personally heard two cases where both men retained their wives and the kids they conceived for another man while in the marriage. One of them was even a man whose servant impregnated his wife. He sent the boy home and kept his wife and the pregnancy for himself.

E dey happen very well even as we speak. Na illiterate traders dey do am

Toh. I have friends that Schooled in the East and my ears are full with these stories. Some knack these girls who are their course mates while the poor chaps are slaving away in Aba or Onitsha paying their school fees

If you reason their talk too much you no go fit serious with woman cos the trust element will be completely dead (not that I advocate you trust any human being anyway)

This pregnancy thing is complex but yeah when I heard that whole your wife's kids are yours whether na you put am there or not na there I press pause. Cos for me paternity fraud is an unpardonable crime

PDPGuy:
I would never ever take up a significant amount of my woman’s family’s financial burden even if her head game is A+😂

I believe parents are only setting up their daughters for tough times in marriage when they allow a man to fund their daughter’s education 100%. The man would obviously feel that he owns her and is her lord and manor

Lol God forbid bad thing. I don't want to feel I bought and purchased your love and loyalty abeg

Some parents are lazy and see their daughters as meal tickets. They don't care so long as you take up their responsibilities for them you can treat her however you please in their eyes

obainojazz:
Nothing wrong with a widow remarrying… same way a woman should pick her man based on financial status.
Finally, na still Igbo woman Dey marry the millions of broke Igbo men and they never jump ship.

We forget most of the videos we see na men wey sponsor their wives abroad… then she starts misbehaving and that’s even one side of the story.

Just go date Kukiyu girls in Kenya first… Your wallet will empty without them adding any value.

I agree some men spend stupidly to impress… especially the ones that want to pass good genes to them kids.

You see men marry yellow pawpaw with little to no courtship… those ones use money to impress

A woman can pick her man based on his financial status. Nothing wrong there. Just understand that there are not enough of those men to go around so if she doesn't mind sharing make she fire down.

I'm not saying there are no good, loyal Igbo women I'm just saying there's a culture that institutionalized men carrying the bulk of the financial load. There's a reason your men are the last to marry amongst all the tribes because the financial pressures are different. We all know this

I have some female Igbo friends whom I was cool with till they went on feminist Rampage. Their fathers are all late and one common theme i discovered is that while they were alive they were the ones paying every single bill. Could it be that all that financial pressure and stress hastened their demise who knows? But look deeply I'm almost certain that even Igbo men don't live as long as their contemporaries from other tribes

I don't blame said Kukiyu girls either, I blame men for lacking discipline for their wood. Cos if you used your bigger head to think you would be interested in finding out what value a woman adds to your life before dealing with her

Felix is a poor man's Havertz. Clearly Chelsea are not interested in scoring any goals for the foreseeable future

Theflint1:


But one of them is married to a Yoruba woman, and another, an Igbo woman, who dem con get for mind take sing the song?

You sef check am. The one wey marry Yoruba woman. Na that Yoruba woman help him career. Clean am up and help him life meanwhile the other one the Igbo woman wey him marry don sue am and e dey drag am through mud.

So you see these things it's different strokes
