birdman:
Did you listen to what Jalen Rose had to say on the issue? Apparently the owner of the 76ers and Harden run in the same circles. And this had been the playbook since November when Jalen predicted this was going down.
Embiid needs to watch his back

Hmmm. So them dey enter the same strip clubs?

James Harden is a proven playoff choker anyway. For me it all boils down to Ben and if he can recover his manhood back. If he does then the trade works longterm for the Nets. Paying James Harden $200m+ till his age 38 season when he's already showing signs of slippage will be as bad as when they mortgaged their future for 2 seasons of Paul Pierce and KG

I can imagine viewers from Texas and other Southern States cursing at their TVs because of these electric cars adverts promoted by California. We die here!

Add the C-walk to it and it's full blown Angina

DeeMain:
Keep shifting goalposts.

The street and the jungle and the mafia have their nuances and codes and rules bro. Life and sports and specifically the NBA have theirs too. Don't conflate them.

My others answers are in my response to birdman.

We can all read here and and have fun and learn from each other and grow or we can be eternally fighting battles and grandstanding and learn nothing. You choose.

I am out.

Nonsense. If you like blindside someone and cry when they retaliate. In what planet do you hit somebody unprovoked and not expect retaliation whether in life or NBA. Continue trying to hold people to standards you are probably not living up to

Wahala for team wey dey bank on James Harden come playoffs. Same chappie that went 5/17 in a Game 7 last time we saw him? The sole owner of the turnover record in the playoffs? Ok oh

birdman:
Leave DeeMain with all the grammar. Imagine I walk up to DeeMain at random and I just give you heavy blow, remove one teeth and walk away DeeMain is saying he would not attack me as I strolled away. He wont even push me in the back because it would be "grossly effeminate" to do so. Of course I would do the same next week, remove another teeth, then turn my back and run . Dey blow grammar dey go

Make e try am for igboro. If them no beat am to pulp

As if these players are robots and not humans

DeeMain:
So you are changing tack now, abi? It's no longer an obvious flop but now poor equilibrium and a truck load of whataboutism. Lol, abeg sit.

There is a reason attacking someone from behind is considered cowardly and grossly effeminate - you've given the person no chance to steel or defend himself from harm consciously or by instinct.

And no I didn't call out Jokic a second time, I responded to people still gloating after seeing the replays of the carnage wrought by the human projectile and knowing the aftermath of that attack.

If something (e.g a car) or someone heavy or powerful and in motion hits you from behind abruptly, the inertia generated could snap your neck causing a whiplash(a neck injury) which can kill or maim or cause brain damage or mental problems.

We saw the danger on that video and called Jokic out but the voice of the many drowned out the voice of the few.

*******************
From day 1 I always posited that appropriate sanctions should be meted against dirty plays and players. My only grouse with what transpired remains excessive retaliation and it hasn't changed.

You dey yarn absolute dust. Whether a flop or whether poor equillibrium is not germane to the argument. Nobody cares

Effeminate? You don't know nada. If you like enter street bump and hit person then instead of apologizing you do the universal sign of disrespect and you turn your back on another grown man, If you don't get knocked spark out make I know wetin cause am. Since you consider them that less of a threat it would be good if they shocked you

Jokic's reaction was purely on impulse and in the heat of the moment. Don't act like he intended to kill him.

Roland17:
In my opinion, it may actually be a financial and on court win for the Nets, IF and only IF Ben Simmons is healthy and not rusty. The Nets would not necessarily need Simmons to shoot the ball, especially during crunch time. During crunch time, the Nets will rely heavily on KD/ Kyrie to dominate possession. This is different from the Sixers situation where he was the 2nd best player with significant touches.

Also, it is important to note that NY is about lifting COVID restrictions, which ultimately means Kyrie will become available for home games, which is going to be huge. The argument against Harden in this trade is his health. He has struggled the entire season to stay in the court, don’t forget his injury issues last season.

The Sixers are taking a huge risk with this one and it think Ainge has budged on the pressure from the public to stop wasting Embiid’s prime, which is a fair argument but Harden is not the solution. Now, if he somehow stays healthy, then they stand a chance but I don’t think a Harden/ Embiid 1-2 punch is enough to come out of the East.

The fact they were able to get Seth and a big means zero pressure on Ben Simmons to do anything other than defend. For me the Nets easily won this trade considering they are also getting two first rounders. Now whether Kyrie stays or goes it hardly matters. They can always get a third banana

Harden on the other hand is playing his worst since his OKC days and this Harden I dey see clearly is not someone that works on his body in the off season. If he suddenly adopts that lifestyle at 33 I would be shocked but stranger things have happened

Interesting trade. For me it all depends on what you can get out of Ben Simmons. If Ben Simmons can exorcise his demons and hold himself accountable then the Nets will ultimately win this trade. As for Harden once the conversation enters playoffs I just don't trust that dude

DeeMain:
Eject him. Give him a 2-match ban or a 5. Play hard or dirty on him, fight him, give him a cheap shot for pay-back. Fair enough.

But don't kill a fly with a sledge hammer in the name of revenge. That should have no place in sports.

Markieff Morris has missed 44 games after the Jokic attack. He may never play again. He may. God help him. I hope you and your crew are happy Doc.

Abeg rest IJN. Why are you acting like what Jokic did was premeditated? He bumped him for ffs not like he punched him on his carotid artery or anything like that, whose fault is it that Markieff has such poor equilibrium?
Besides whatever happened to Markieff he brought on himself. If Jokic had suffered a broken rib or punctured lung what would you say?

If Morant had suffered serious injury would you be yarnin this kumbaya nonsense. If Markieff was such a tough guy he would be back now, just goes to show you these guys dish but cannot take.

How can anyone come here to defend those two that consistently endanger other players on the court. Was it not this Marcus that stomped on Luka's ankle. You will not advocate for these guys to change their playing style. You are just yarnin menenemenene

Chai. Mai Shai. No Westbrook to blame today. These Lakers are a truly finished team

45-11.5-5.5 on 81% shooting vs AD

Streets ain't forgot

40 piece

Anthony Antetokounmpo. Giannis has wifed this man

Giannis has broken basketball dawg. Pump faking AD out his shoes, Locking him up on the other end.

Some people will watch these games and still come out to say KD or some other pretender is the best player in the league

joshboo:
Kai my condolences and Rip to him. What killed him??

Got shot

Roland17:
Baba this life no pure at all. This days, I wonder, what’s the end goal? I mean after all the gra gra for here wetin remain.

You just do your best and accept the outcome. Absolutely nothing is guaranteed or in your hands in the end.

Roland17:
@A40, I think we forgot to remember one of our very own soldier on this thread last year.

Continue to rest well @Bawomolo (Busayo), your Bulls have resurrected and I imagine you are smiling.

#RIPBAWOMOLO

Man. How we go do. It's not that we forget it's been over 10 years now, it's always in the corner of your head. It's just sometimes you just try to get closure from it all. It's all you can do especially when you realize that as you grow older someone you know is passing every other month. Last 2 years taught me this

benji93:
You know say you fit turn this into prayer point?

It's crazy to me how every Laker game is almost always a dogfight. From Detroit to Hornets, Portland, Kings. And then you see those numbers and you understand why

All I've been saying in a nutshell

Roland17:
While this may lead to him being blacklisted, I am so proud of Brian Flores. He is pretty much sacrificing his future for this cause.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33194862/brian-flores-sues-nfl-others-former-miami-dolphins-coach-alleges-racism-hiring-practices

There's not enough words to describe how disgraceful these NFL teams are operating. How do you ask a man to come and interview for a job you have already given away.

How are Superbowl winning coordinators like Eric Bienemy and Byron Leftwich still interviewing for jobs left right and center yet you have average Joe's like Joe Judge, Matt Rhule, Kliff Kingsbury getting jobs one time.

Josh McDaniels a literal cheat that was caught and flopped at Denver, flaked on the Colts gets hired by another team again, it's crazy

Khanben:
Agree, the issue for Brady is his age. His family does not need the money, so with his wife and daughter especially, complaining to him about how they feel when he gets hit, he had no choice but to retire.
As soon as I saw the clip where madam was rejoicing in the vip booth while oga was losing 27-3 to the Rams, I knew he was calling it quits.

PS: Personally I don't blame her, nobody wants to have a spouse who is having cognitive issues in their old age due to concussions that occurred because a 45 year old man was hit by a 270lbs 24 year old who runs a 4.4s 40.

She was rejoicing while they were down? That's a bit weird. But for me it's only right he retired with his full faculties intact. Playing an extra season, winning an 8th ring, what difference does it make? His achievements are never going to be matched in our lifetime. He's already proven he was the more important ingredient by winning a Superbowl his first season without Belichick. Nothing left to prove

Ellexy:
Sorry for jumping at this but the context meant here in "dealing with women" is in sexual matters. You shouldn't have any sexual dealings with any woman who won't give you consent.

It's a very simple sturvs

Don't mind that lunatic. Let him be pretending like someone that's asleep. The smart ones understand the difference. The average woman already has buyer's remorse when she willingly knacks a guy and things didn't go her way and she can go to any lengths to embarrass him. Now talkless of the one that doesn't give 100 percent agreement.

Abeg just ignore that f0ol. Anyhow he wan interpret my post that is his personal problem

Roland17:
Ngbo @A40, ma fi ejo pa mi because no be me talk am.

The one season he gets beat up like a thief and without important pieces, baba seke!

Nothing against the man, he has done a lot for the position and sports in general. I hope he enjoys his retirement. I curious to see what Gronkowski does knowing Brady is not returning.

We all know if Tom Brady was single he would still be playing. He did this to appease his madam.

Gronk probably retires too

BikeMan:
A terrible take like this needs to be contextual?

Stop quoting me you uncircumcised philistine

Roland17:
I can assure you that many of these young guys have experienced mentors, especially for a storied club like Manchester United. Mentoring younger kids these days is quite tough because they believe they have arrived and many times, you can lose them if you push too much.

Well he has fuvked around and found out the hard way. In this day and age there are just too many examples. You absolutely have to be responsible with your dealings with women and listen to what the OGs tell you

BikeMan:
God save our daughters from terrible men that can't keep their balls in their trouser. Like I said, you can do better. This is not a way to address the female gender, life is far more than sex, you can get a sex doll if you want something to open legs at your command.

Shut up your mouth you simp Mangina. Too much Simpin has made you deliberately obtuse that's why you keep responding with foolishness. When anyone with common sense understands the context with which I tweeted that post.

If your woman is not eager to spread her legs for you my gee then you ain't got no woman at all. Cos she's gladly doing it for someone else. Cry blood e no concern me

afrodoc2:
People have to be careful these days. Like you said the consent has to be explicit.

If you are not sure if the babe said yes/is saying yes just do a Beckham pull out and wear your trousers. There is no diamond encrusted toto that is worth your career or your freedom.

And for those who like forcing women then obviously a bit of jail time where they will be the women might reset their thinking.

You just have to be so careful. As a black man you're on such a short leash. Gone are the days of her maybe meaning yes. Now talkless of this kin kpenkelemes.

See now Nike has canceled his endorsement fiam. If he's found guilty his promising career as a footballer is completely done. If only he had a mentor that would have taught him to free women at that young age and focus on his football. They are the ultimate distraction.

BikeMan:
"...should be dealing with women who won't spread their legs in a heart beat"

Read that again. Is the female gender a toy that you want to open leg whenever you want it? You're such a terrible man, be better.

Shut up you performative cretin. I meant in a relationship or sexual context.

And yes any man that is smart would stay away from relationships with women who deny him intimacy and find more willing participants. Problem solved for everyone. I said what I said. Foolish man

Roland17:
This is a troubling situation that the league has payed lip service to. As it stands today, Mike Tomlin is the only AA head coach in the NFL, I stand corrected. The fact that E. Bieniemy is yet to get a coaching gig despite running one of the most explosive offenses over the last 3 seasons is all the testimony I need. When it comes to black coaches, that is when you will read ridiculous things like "he did not interview well", when you probe further into the meaning of "did not interview well" you will stuff like he did present himself well and other spurious stuff. The question is, can he coach a football team? If scrubs like U. Meyer, J. Judge, M. Naggy, M. Patricia, A. Gase, freaking M. Rhule who have failed can get head coaching gigs without questions about their interviews, why on earth is Bieniemy is still being overlooked?

Why am I focusing on Bieniemy? Because he is in a perfect situation where transitioning to a head coaching gig should be seamless, especially for a 1st time head coach but alas, he still being overlooked while Josh McDaniels enjoys the luxury of turning down jobs and now getting the Raiders gig! Come on man!

It's a crying disgrace what is going on in the NFL. Matt Rhule, Kliff Kingsbury, Joe Judge. Coaches that were average to mediocre even at college level somehow are able to land head coaching gigs at first try

Then you have the likes of Jim Caldwell and Brian Flores who finish with winning seasons and still get fired. Detroit has not recovered from this and Miami will soon follow suit

Everyone knew Stafford wasn't a scrub nau haba. And for people talking about how stacked Tampa was last year (no secondary) the Rams I dare say was far more stacked than Tampa. They went to a Superbowl two seasons ago

As for Jimmy G. The truth is QBs get too much credit when things go well and too much blame when things go south. He ran into a better team and asking a QB to beat 3 better teams in their building in 3 weeks straight is a huge ask.

afrodoc2:
Elamps is old skool. He does not know that there is nothing like seduction to the point of no return anymore.

A woman has the right to say no at any moment even up to the climax. That is why sharp men no longer accept when babes say Don’t stop. There is a thin line between “Don’t stop” and “Don’t. Stop”.

Now what is acceptable is “Continue”, “Proceed”, “I approve”. If a girl tells you “Don’t stop” better stand up and wear your trousers.

To the matter at hand, it would be interesting to see what Greenwood’s explanation/defence is. His career depends on what happens next.

Haa. Make Elamps dey careful oh. Say na point of no return. Vigorous and explicit consent is the only way to go now if you don't want problem and embarrassment for your life. Keep chats of your escapades and her positive feedback as back up too.

I've seen a chic literally lie a guy raped her. His flight itinerary was what saved him. Lo and behold he was not even in the country when she claimed said r@pe happened. Now talkless of where you and am dey drag paynt.
