Amigoss:
But Muslims are not been slaughtered in rivers state na,how many times have you spoken against the massacres in southern Kaduna,na your body hypocrisy dey smell pass..

Christian to Muslim ratio before your partner in jihadism became governor and turned southern Kaduna to slaughtering ground,Is Kaduna a Muslim state? oh perhaps Wikipedia dey lie

Lol that guy is always on some deliberate dishonesty time.

What part of Nigeria or state is any Muslim afraid of their lives or safety regardless of these comments by Fubara. Is a Muslim safer in Rivers or a Christian safer in southern Kaduna.

What is population of Christians in Kaduna compared to Rivers?

Amoto94:
Rivers State is a Christian State, and God is our foundation. We shall govern with the fear of God and stay strong to our Christian values of trust, faith, love, care and sacrifice.

Where were your mentions when Fubara made this statement some days ago? You lots will only feed on the carcasses of your hypocrisy and double-standard

You're a very funny guy. And deliberately dishonest too.

What's the track record of Kaduna compared to Rivers

Kibbs:
It’s not a misconception. Most sport teams do better at home than away cus they are more comfortable on their home turf . It’s been proved that role players in bball play better at home. Even though basketball is a game of very little margins, the nuggets you mentioned have the biggest disparity of any NBA team in terms of home and away wins. Tell me, is that not home advantage?
As for the noises you mentioned, keep in mind it’s not only the nuggets who hear these noises so why would it be only them it distracts? Those noises are meant to cheer them on and throw off the opposition which is the opposite of what you were implying.

Ok maybe I used absolute terms. What I mean is that too much can sometimes be made of Home advantage that it becomes an impediment. When two equally matched teams play home is not necessarily an advantage in fact we have several examples (France Euro 2016, Brazil 1950, 2014, England Euro 96, Euro 2020, Bayern 2012, Spurs Game 7 2006, Golden State 2016, Boston Game 7 this year, Boston 2016 Game 6, Denver Game 7 2019) that being at home does not guarantee anything

Denver's advantage is still primarily geographical and hasn't stopped them from getting beat when they met their match or superior.

Noises are a gift and a curse. If you don't have it on a given night no amount of noise will make you have it. No amount of cheering will help MPJ get back to close down a 3pt shooter, no amount of noise would mess with Duncan Robinson or Gabe Vincent to knock them off their 3pt rhythm. These are professional athletes. There's a reason championship caliber teams like to go on the road

Rookie NBA fan here
great point made about the formula MIA unlocked that is Jokic being a primary scorer and shutting him down on the assist level , that's exactly what they did today, however I disagree on the heats feeling themselves , that team grounded as fokkkk, can't predict what till happen in game 3 cause of the home advantage of MIA , while players like Murray and porter would need to step up cause they had a meh game. Game 3 would be exciting to watch. May the team that needs it the most win.

Basketball is a very interesting sport. People focus on the beginnings of games and the 4th quarter but the start of the second half is also very critical arguably the most critical because with the Heat down 6 at half time a good start by Denver would have blown the game open in the 3rd quarter instead the Heat hung around and suddenly the 4th quarter they couldn't miss

There's this misconception that home advantage helps teams in sports. I'd almost argue it's the opposite. All that crowd noise does is distract and make you lose focus. That's why the Nuggets kept making silly and unforced turnovers and were doing a lot of complaining.

Murray and the Nuggets can watch and learn from Golden State last year how they played Game 4 and Game 6. There's an underrated focus that comes with being on the road. If you have been following the sport for a long time you will know it

The Heat might have uncovered a formula to win here. Make Jokic primarily a scorer.

Overall I just didn't see the Nuggets winning when they started whining to the refs. They had a 6 minute spell where they just completely lost their way. They have to handle adversity much better than that.

The way I see it a loss might have worked in their favor. The hype around them reduces and the Heat are feeling themselves, perfect time to punch them in the mouth.

larride:
Nope. Was Porters.

It was Murray

larride:
Why didnt Malone call a timeout for that last play?

Who tf give Porters that has been shooting Bricks the ball with seconds to go?

A Mazulla moment. There was enough time to draw a play.

We have ourselves a series people

larride:
They are not even attempting any shooting. As if Malone told them not to shoot threes and only drive to the basket.

Murray and Mike are playing as if they are scared.

They have no excuse to play this poorly especially Mike. He's a matchup problem for everyone in the Heat lineup yet kept settling for rubbish 3s.

Murray. Bloody hell

If the Heat are going to make these many 3s just hand them the O'Brien already. This is absurd

The Heat have won this game.

The Nuggets are clearly rattled

Caldwell Pope you absolute goofy

Murray it's time to cook

larride:
The believe Maimi is using to shoot is what Denver is lacking tonight.

Yeah they're not moving the ball with any fluidity or confidence. Even the shots only Jokic is not attempting them with fear

Nuggets are letting their heads drop. Did they think Adam Silver would let this end in a sweep. You're gonna have to sweat for this W

Miami just punched them in the mouth. What a team

Get Jeff Green old ass out of there

Roland17:
Embiid is barely standing in the 4th, he will not survive this altitude in a 7 game series. His lungs will collapse before the start of the 4th.

And that's why his team will never be a serious contender

Robinson. Goddamn.

The Heat were not this good from 3s in the regular season. This is insane

donlittle25:
I swear. jokic has 23 points and I am surprised. It feels like he has 15 points

He carried them all through that 3rd quarter while the rest kept faffing around

People were really comparing Embiid to Jokic. Crazy scenes

larride:
Its falling for them today. Nuggets need Murray and Porter Jr to get in groove.

Nuggets started this 3rd quarter badly. They're not getting quality shots. And MAGA Mike I don't know mehn. He's not improving it seems.

He has all the physical gifts to be dominant and a consistent scorer but he always seems to settle for jacking up 3s.

This game is pure chaos. I like it. The refs letting them play

And MAGA Mike stop leaving Vincent wide open ffs. Nuggets are rotating too slow

Miami's 3pt shooting means Miami is never out of games. Crazy

Nice damage control by the Heat. They're still in it

KCP with a bonehead play there. Soft but needless foul nonetheless

Khanben:
That is what they used to kill the Lakers. They never let them set their half court defense consistently. Totally smoked them

Their offense na microwave. Everybody shoots with confidence no kaloloing on the ball. The way they blitz teams is crazy

Problem now the Heat have to start spamming 3s and hope they fall

Khanben:
Nuggets are deep abeg. The dude played great all year and also against the Suns, but couldn't just find his groove in the Lakers series. Now he his back

Is it even their depth? It's their fit. On paper you could argue there are deeper teams but the fit is crazy.

The players are so complementary. There's no real weak link on both sides of the floor. The entire starting 5 can defend and can score.

When they swept the Lakers with AD and Bron I knew there was no hope

10pt lead

Denver's transition offense is brazy. Once they get the ball. 100 meters senior boys

Out
Upamenonsense
Sane
Pavard

If we can get a mugu for Mane fine and If not we manage him like that for another season

Get a proper striker. Kane, Vlahovic I don't care. We have ridden this Choupo Moting thing as far as we could. Can't be bringing Choupo Moting to a Haaland fight next season abeg
