Looks like the Celtics weathered the Warriors barrage. Now it's down to their infamous 3rd quarter collapses. Are we going to see another episode?

Tatum saw my post. Warriors aren't playing any type of defense. One on one, help or transition. It's awful

No, the long story was that while I said we don't know what that game 6 outcome is in his availability (hence, why I don't count it as a W or L), you insist that you do all because you have the confession you want (GSW can't win without KD) and now want to see how you can torture the data to do the confessing for you.
No you're trying to hang the outcome solely on the absence of Klay
but he didn't miss the entire series. He played in 5 of a possible 6 games.

If they won the game it would not be mentioned that he missed the last quarter. Bottomline is he played! This argument is as lazy as claiming the Warriors lost to the Cavs cos Draymond Green was suspended in Game 5 but he played Games 6 and 7 that they lost so what gives?

I never stop anyone from attacking the party or even the President. It’s their right to rightly criticize those that handle the affairs of the country.

What makes my argument superior to theirs is that, 200m people cannot japa but a form of community policing can happen.

Again I’ll say it, anyone that want to japa or have the resources to japa should do everything within them to JAPA but Japa is not the solution for a country of 200m.
Why is no one implementing your community policing system. Over 7 years in that Godforsaken administration? Seems to me your argument and theirs is a tie

Please stop this nonsense.

In the first post to nihilist that I responded to, I clearly highlighted that community policing will be the game changer to our security issue.

We have a police force that’s understaff and stretched out, Infact the army is at the moment overstretched because they are doing the work of the police. Decentralize the police and let each community police themselves.

I have had this discussion before with ib.ime on this thread and my stance is clear. I do not do whataboutsim.

Infact I don’t even talk about APC like that or this thread but any small discussion whenever you guys see my moniker you just hibernate your thought process and start inferring what is not in my post.

You guys should stop that nonsense.
Failure is indeed an orphan. You're quick to defend any APC achievement here and inundate us with nonsense.

Now that we highlight their glaring failure you deny them like an illegitimate child. We all know about Community policing Captain Obvious. Why then are your principals not implementing it. Why can they not catch anybody? Why do we have your leaders speaking to the masses like they are powerless citizens and not the ones entrusted with securing life and property

This is what you should be explaining not this drivel you wrote here

During the EndSars, I had an argument with Ib.ime about community policing and that is what my stand will always be. We have a lot of ungoverned space which criminals take advantage of to carry out their activities.

There has been debate and bills to decentralize policing in the country which has always met obstacles but it is something we must continue to advocate for. That is the only way we can effectively combat the numerous insecurity issues we have. COMMUNITY POLICING.

I have nothing against that people that want to Japa if they have the means and resources to do so but I still stand on my initial post that Japa can never be the solution for a country of more then 200m people because 10% of the citizens can’t Japa. It’s the honest truth.

I don’t know how party talk comes into the discussion when it’s not even as if we are talking about a party or an individual.
Your party is in charge in the state the attack happened, is in charge in Kaduna, in charge in Federal. In charge in Senate. If these bills are not passed whose fault?

We have been debating over 7 years. Debate no dey finish?

Allow people attacking your party to do so. You are affiliated with them so it's part of collateral damage

What is the difference between people shouting japa. And you advocating for the community policing that will never be implemented. What makes your argument superior to theirs?

So killings are okay as long as the criminals are caught.

I did not stop anyone from venting or expressing their frustration, I am not the cause of you not being able to properly interprete a simple statement that has no political undertone.
Killings did not start today and will never stop. So I don't understand this your jejune question
Your nonsense whataboutism is always the problem here. There will always be crime till the world ceases to exist. We know this

What separates the cesspit Nigeria has become to other countries is that you at least know for sure the killers will be caught

Where have you seen criminals ever get apprehended in Nigeria? You had bandits attack a train. Federal Government property in Kaduna. Kill people, kidnap people And the government did not catch anybody. Could not apprehend anybody. Southern Kaduna nko? Middle belt nko

And you're here talmbout Japa is not a solution. No shit Sherlock. What is now the solution. What solution have you proposed here besides dropping megedefegede party man arguments

I’m not stopping anything. It is insensitive of you guys to keep shouting japa japa as if you are reading to give them the financial resources to japa.

Anyone that has any idea of Owo and where the church was located will know it’s most likely insiders that carried out the attack. Owo has one of the lowest number of police in the state with little or no DSS/Army presence. Those other security agencies only come to area when the Governor is around.

Now how many people will japa save in that town? Most probably less than 10% that’s even if they have the resources to japa but effective community policing will stop most of these attacks from criminals/terrorist.

You are well within your right to not give a fûck about the country but please stop this japa japa japa talk everytime a tragedy occurs. The highest number of people that japa annually from the country no even reach 50k out of a population of 200m.

Japa is not a solution.
What solution is your party providing to stop this carnage. Stop telling people japa is not a solution while endless carnage and killing keep occurring in your party's watch and they are showing zero competence to come up with solutions.

Telling people to Japa is better than what your party is currently doing. They're arguably the reason more Nigerians cannot japa

Japa will never be a solution for a country with a population of 200m people. Anyone that has the means and resources to japa if they want but what’s the % of people in the country that can JAPA. It’s insensitive and you guys need to stop IT.

Every time a tragedy happens, the next thing we hear is japa, japa, japa as if 5% of the population have the financial means to japa.

This week alone, the US has recorded more than 3 masa shootings. They just had 1 overnight sef. Maybe their citizens should be shouting japa japa japa also.
Which kin talk be this?

The difference between shootings in that country and Nigeria is that at least the perps always get caught. Can you bet any money that these killers are brought to book?

Not everytime play company man. Sometimes allow people vent and express their frustrations how they deem fit

Your argument style is vacillating between 2 poles- you contextualize and then categorize at the same time.

17/18 Rockets with essentially the same core is not the same as the Rockets of 18/19 because of their regular season record (context) yet you are sure that because they led 3-2 with CP3 injured, it helped the Warriors win 4-3 (category).

My response to that is, was CP3 not playing when his team lost 2 games? I hope you see it. He could have as well lost 2 games again, no?

If you say no, what proof do you have? The only other perfect situation was next season and he lost again this time without KD but you say we should ignore it because of their regular season record. lol
Fear God oh. And stop twisting the point of the argument. Even if you're adamant that a team that won 12 fewer games than the previous season didn't regress at least have the honesty to admit that the Rockets were shorthanded when the Warriors faced them.

He could have as well lost two games but the sample size showed that the Rockets won 60% of the games CP3 played. The Warriors were yet to win back to back games to that point with CP3 on the floor. You have no evidence that they could have

Anyway you're free to believe what you want to believe. If the Warriors lose to Boston this will be their 3rd straight failure at beating a complete team without Kevin Durant. Simple and short

I wish you can see you are making my argument for me.

If you claim Klay Thompson was there for that game 6 loss then you cannot in the same breath claim injury when a player is absent from his team's loss against GSW. That is why you can either be categorical with your argument or contextual you cannot be both at the same time.

Kawhi was there when his team led GSW by 22 points or so and then lost by 20+ without KD in that same season. Kyrie and Love played in the regular season of 2014 and GSW beat them.

If you change the context to regular season vs playoffs, I can as well show you another situation where your argument will fail. For e.g, Klay hit the winning shot against Memphis this season, and Raptors used 2 FTs to end that 114 v 110 game 6 after Steph and Iggy missed 3 PT attempts back to back before fouling the rebounder. What is to say Klay who was hot in that game does not hit it, GSW lead by 1 and Raptors lose the game? They had just lost game 5 the same way.

If you cannot say, then you cannot be categorical about Klay playing game 6 when the team lost. After all, his team was up with 1 Q to go in that same game and he was not available to impact the game when it was lost which is your argument for Kawhi, Kyrie etc. which is not the same technically if he had fouled out.
You're trying to pretend like Klay Thompson played 4 games from a possible 6. This is cap

Klay Thompson played Game 6 and missed a quarter. There's no guarantee he makes the shot in back to back games. By your logic Steph Curry who scored 21 points after the first quarter on Thursday should have finished with 60pts. MJ once scored 35pts in a half and made 6 3pters in the Finals. He finished with 39 pts!

I didn't read the majority of your long story but the crux of the argument is him getting hurt does not stop the Warriors from winning the same way him playing the 4th quarter doesn't stop the Warriors from losing. We just saw Jimmy Butler miss a whole half and the Heat still beat Boston.

Attempting to erase the 32 whole minutes Klay Thompson played is dubious.

Fans forget, thats the name of the game. They brought in Durant to counter Lebron's united nations team, and it worked. But like they told Durant then, it wont help your legacy long term. He said he didnt mind, he just wanted the rings. It is what it is
Durant is the architect of his problem in the end. He's stood ten toes in the sand for the wrong people or and at the wrong times.

He's in a way a victim of his own hubris. Falsely believing that just skills and ability to score is the only thing he's going to need to win

We saw him against the same Celtics. We don't miss him.

I watched this same team game 1 against the Nets and concluded they have what it takes to win it all.

But I don't get down over one loss in the same way I won't get high over one win. Steve Kerr will tell you he prefers Tatum to score 40 pts than for Horford, Smart and White to hit 15/23 3s or score 70 points.

The series reminds me of GSW vs OKC in 2016. I hope it favors GSW still.
I'm just hoping that should the Warriors lose there would be no excuses. I have no dog in this fight but the KD slander is getting out of control

We already know KD's limitations. He had to join the Warriors to win. The Warriors however now have to beat a fully healthy team in the Finals without KD. This is their 3rd attempt

We await.

I can nitpick the same way but the larger point will be missed.

Case in point is the 2018-19 WC SFs against the Rockets with their CP3 and everybody in tact when it is 2-2. This is a replay of 2017-18 only this time KD gets hurt. Warriors then go on to beat Rockets 4-2. That is the best example of a Klay, Steph and Draymond led team still winning a team everyone claimed would have beat them without KD.
You guys are so funny. Like the 18/19 Rockets are even similar to the 17/18 iteration that had the best record in the league vs a 4th seed

The Warriors were down 3-2 to the 17/18 team before CP3 got hurt end of Game 5. I have some snake oil to sell you if you believe that is the same team at the same level as they were the previous year

You are intentionally missing the point. Yes GSW lost 4-2 nobody is arguing that. We are telling you that GSW did not lose 4 games with Klay playing. The games Klay played GSW won 2 and lost 2 against Toronto. Klay missed game 3 and when he was playing game 6 GSW had not lost. So you don't have data to show that with Klay playing with Steph etc, GSW would have lost that series. Not saying whether it is true or not, you just don't have data for it.
They lost 3 games with Klay playing not 2. He played 32 minutes of Game 6. Had they won you would not discard that data. I don't know why you're discarding it cos they lost.

The final outcome of the game is immaterial. He played 32 minutes. It would be no different if he was in foul trouble and had his minutes limited would you say he didn't play? Game 6 Bulls vs Jazz. Scottie Pippen played 25 minutes. Would you say he didn't play?

There is no law that says a player must play all 48 minutes before we argue whether they played or not

Klay Thompson was present in 3 losses. Same way if the Warriors won we would also say Klay Thompson was present in 3 wins

Durant is that you lol

Jaylen and Tatum have matured. They used to fall in love with that jumpshot and shoot themselves out of games. They are more patient now, they read the game and pace themselves. Tatum had a horrible shooting game, but he racked up assists. Jaylen picked his shots. Their defense was decent, but it can get better - they kept Green and Looney from getting easy buckets, but some of those Curry 3s in Q1 could have been avoided.

Looking forward to game 2! Maybe they will free bjelica, sharp shooter of life!
Hahaha. The thing just dey rub me dey wrong way ni. And I like the Warriors. Ordinarily I would never say any negative comments about them. However seeing Warriors and Curry fans joining in the KD slander is just out of pocket for me.

This is a man that came to join your team and helped you win two Championships essentially sacrificing any claim to a top 10 conversation while he did, this man put his longevity on the line rushing from a serious injury to help the Warriors win a 3peat cos they knew good and well they couldn't win without him. Took insults from haters and even teammates and this is the thanks he gets? O wrong nauu

Even if Bronsexuals dey slander KD Steph and Warriors fan no suppose join inside. They better beat Boston sha. Cos if they don't this will be their 3rd straight Finals loss.
And the ones that are trying to be clever by half talmbout KD got swept and well they got to the Finals. Duhhh. KD couldn't do it that's why he came. You're the ones that swear you could do it without KD. So do it

Why Draymond Green is taking 12 shots in an NBA Finals game in year 2022 is beyond me

Jordan Poole also looked quite shook. As it is on any night he's not giving you 15-25 points he's pretty much a liability on the floor as he can't guard nobody

He is no where near Schumacher in my opinion. Schumacher dragged a donkey and made it a prancing horse, while this is the first time Lewis has a donkey.

He'd be lucky if he finishes 6th, though I have faith in Mercedes fixing that car.
People forget this. They think Schumacher just jumped in a great car and was dominating. Anyway I want to see how Hamilton competes in a car that's not the fastest on the grid. We saw Alonso do this at least.

I suspect Mercedes will eventually put the car in front but for now there's no reason George Russell should be outperforming him. Unless he knows well and good this car can't compete and he's tanking (I'd hope not)
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m):
Small little factoid I stumbled upon. The Warriors are 1-8 their last 9 Finals games without Kevin Durant cheesy

0-6 in home games shocked cheesy

I saw the 4th quarter again and I have to say. Jaylen Brown mehn. Jayson Tatum gets all the love most times but Jaylen Brown. There's a Sadio Mane-Mo Salah dynamic going on there. Where the other guy is just as good but for some reason never quite gets the accolades and adulation. We talk about Jayson Tatum as a superstar and a guy like Jaylen barely gets All star mention.

In that game again one of those one man 8-0 runs I always talk about that happen inside 1:20secs that turn potential blowouts to comebacks
