far exceeded or approaching is what I said
Nobody has far exceeded Jayson Tatum for starters

You just knew Lonzo would show up
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:20am On Nov 16, 2021
This is crazy. How are the Bulls doing this on a second night B2B. DeRozan, Lonzo and Lavine shouldn't be beating this team by 20.

Yes, they will loose a lot, but at least it will be the start of a rebuild. Right now they are stuck in limbo and with paying Matt's albatross contract. If they had drafted a QB, they could have cut Ryan, and given the coach at least 3 clear years run way and see how it pans out.
I would gladly take Matty Ice rn for my Steelers. I don't think they have a line or run game to protect a rookie QB. They will lose ad nauseum. They actually failed to build around Matt Ryan in his good years. But of all the rookies now Mac Jones is the only guy I'd take ahead of Ryan. I've not seen anything from Fields or Wilson.

It's almost like teams don't know what to do with this Lavine-Ball-Caruso-DeRozan lineup. On paper it should flop but on court its absolute madness
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:07am On Nov 16, 2021
This Derozan Lavine 1-2 punch is a big problem

I love Tatum, love his energy. Me I can separate a player from the team. I may not like the celtics, but I like Tatum. However, like Khanben said, we have seen flashes of brilliance, but those flashes are inconsistent. You say he was just drafted in 2017. Well, so was Bam Adebayo and John Collins.
Guess who was drafted in 2018? Trae Young, Luka Doncic, DeAndre Ayton.
2019? Ja Morant, Cam Reddish.
2020? LaMelo Ball, James Wiseman

All these guys are approaching or have far exceeded Tatum. Once you wait too long to bloom, time will pass you by. If he does not graduate to the next level this year, he risks becoming a really good player, but not a superstar.At least he is doing much better than Zion who was drafted a year later.

Criticism is not hate.
Out of all these guys you mentioned only two people you can even mention with Tatum and that's Luka and Trae. Which one is far exceeded?? undecided

Khanben:
Who ever made the decision to draft a TE instead of either Fields or Jones for the Falcons should be fired. That team needed a reset ASAP. Matty Ice is done
Fields on that Falcons team?? Lol they will go 0-34. Even Mac would struggle

You and your lame analysis

Even without kicking the ball, Brazil and Argentina are sure of qualifying for every World Cup. But the current European champions will play the playoffs in other to qualify for the world

Come 2022 an European team will still win it like they have been doing since 2006
Don't mind them. Portugal and Italy the last two Euro winners are not sure of the next world cup and they still keep parroting this nonsense. In a confederation of 50 teams there will obviously be bad teams

@A40

Come and carry your Gbanjo tap dancer dey go jare! You are busy worrying about Mahomes and the GOAT, meanwhile the mess dey come from your house.. The tap dancing fraud is putting on another shameful performance against a 2-6 WFT, throwing picks like he is stoning the wall of Jericho.
You never learn do you? Where did they finish last season? Answers on a postcard

As for Aaron Fraudgers 0 TDs and an INT. Not worth my energy

406 Yards with 5 TDs with 8 minutes left in the 4th.. So much for he is washed...A40 come and tell us again how Mahomes is washed and casted..
Shior. That Raiders be like team for your face?? With all that dysfunction and craze people they had to cut and fire

This is Mahomes first game with multiple TDs since Week 6. First game with more than 2 TDs since week 4. They will face the Cowboys next and we will see who is who. Btw I never said he was washed oh unku

I do have a question, how long will the wolves rebuild take. Is it that they do not have good enough players or is it just a question of fit?
It's just a soft team. They lack spine and grit. Can''t tell me their players are worse than the Grizzlies for example

The Hawks have been terribly disappointing this season. They are on a 6 game losing streak and are 4-9.

And just like that, the Celtics have choked a 19 point lead to now 4. This has been the narrative throughout the season and it is quite annoying. Worsestill, how Ime failed to call a timeout during the scoring run by the Cavs is beyond me!
Your team is an unserious one. They are not going anywhere

What is it about the 3rd quarter that turns the Lakers to G Leaguers

These two are a crying disgrace. Nigga had no mental health issues till the fines started coming in. Notice the very first point raised were the fines. Only a donkey of a GM will trade for this mental midget at this point. It would still come to a point where owners will start fighting for non guaranteed contracts like the NFL. Thanks to douchegoblins like these. Meanwhile there are people with real mental issues that still need to show up at work

Really? How are the other teams with crazy roster drama earning 6 straight wins? Are they not in the same league?

WC Top Tier:
1. Warriors - 6 straight wins
2. Clippers - 6 straight wins
3. Suns - 6 straight wins

WC Upcoming Tier:
4. Mavericks - Amazing what they have done with Porz missing many games
5. Lakers - Even without Lebron, they are losing to teams they should be blowing out
Which kin talk be this? Do they give you bonus win for winning 6 games in a row?? Bottomline only team with more wins than the Lakers are the Warriors and Jazz. The rest is jejune argument. The Suns, Clippers and Warriors have had no drama or huge roster turnover so dead the argument

The Mavs have mostly been mid. How many quality teams did they beat?

Lakers have had 5 losses. 2 without their best player arguably and another one with the second one playing just 6 minutes

Any team can beat any team on any given night. Give me a 3-5 game win streak without LeKing versus the bottom feeders in the league, to at least show consistency. Im not impressed with big names, I want to see synergy. I want to see Lakers beat teams convincingly, not hero ball to save the situation. Otherwise all na paparazzi, big names with no bite.
Three of their 5 losses have come from blowing huge leads. This is a newly formed team dealing with injuries amongst their younger players and LeNomad as well. Where is the consistency and synergy going to come from after just 10 games? Who has been convincing thus far besides Golden State. Be realistic!

1 game? cmon now bro. cmon. any game where russ is the leading scorer is a fluke. just let it go.
Lol. That's not the argument. The argument is the Lakers roster is more than enough to compete without LeNomad

Leave Ole alone ooh..

We the forces supporting him are on our knees praying

But seriously Why have they not sacked Ole?
Does anyone honestly think Ole can achieve anything with Man utd or they are just delaying the inevitable?

Let me put it this way, what is Ole's upper limit and is that upper limit Okay for Man Utd?
Confuse them with nonsense. That's the tactics.
Is it beans to confuse a tactical genius like Pep. Same tactics he used to hold Pep scoreless in 180 mins of league action last season. Fans just have memories of goldfish. They need to be patient and trust the process, just look at Arteta

The Glazers are not football people. Green and not Silverware is their primary interest

What is the correlation between mass shooters and a hard unnecessary foul that was retaliated on in the heat of the moment. What kind of Boko Haram analogy is that??

If the retaliation was premeditated that is even different, it was on impulse. No amount of kumbaya preaching will prevent an athlete or human being from not protecting himself when they are cornered or unduly attacked. Goodness


And KD mehn. 30 pts on 12 shots. That guy is a joke shocked

No be to dey carry body guards and gun, he told Gilbert meet me one on one and lets see who makes it to the other side first. The same thing with Jackson! Since then, Jackson neva pipe low? He told Jackson, he is not cut out for all those red and blue crap! Come out one v one make we check something. Jackson neva shut up since then?
Any athlete carrying gun upandan is simply paranoid and scared of their own shadow. Why carry gun wey you no go fit shoot if shit hits the fan

There are appropriate responses to bullying and inappropriate responses. The right response to being taunted or bullied by classmates is not bringing a gun to school and mauling them down. A child should be taught how to stand up and defend himself without going overboard. Gunning the person down or doing a mass shooting should be a no no.
How does your analogy apply here? Is it because Morris fell and over dramatized his ordeal? Na wa oh. Who said anything about guns? Why are you going from extreme to extreme

This analogy is so wrong in so many ways! First, it infers that because a kid is big, he/she can not suffer bullying. Secondly, it shifts the responsibilities of the result of bullying on the victim instead of the bully! Come on man! The problem is the bully here.. Someone who is notorious for cheap, dirty and dangerous plays! The victim has every right to defend himself. To you, bullying is about the physical act..naaaaaa..Bullying is more about the mental control than the physical act.

If a child has a history of bullying kids or targeting a particular kid, the school is aware, friends are aware, even the family of the bully is aware they are raising a bully. Keep your hands to yourself! It is the safest place it can be. You are not going to get sympathy for trying to bully a big kid who retaliates! He did not create himself, he was not the aggressor and most importantly, the same right you think you have to hit another kid, is the same right the kid has to defend himself! For once, call out the aggressor!
Na these kind people go hide under emotional intelligence dey blame victim. Smh

That is why emotional intelligence or control is taught these stars and taught in all endeavours.

Why the over celebration of Jokic's immoderate retaliation? Since when did two wrongs make a right? Why not call the two out?

There is a reason those convicted of manslaughter go to prison. You were provoked but you are still responsible for your actions.
Bone this talk this man. You are dealing with human beings not robots here. We are not celebrating Jokic's reaction we simply understand why he did it. So leave this moral policing thing you dey yarn

Nothing manslaughter has to do with this. Jokic defended himself. I guarantee you nobody will try him like that again. Stop looking at this from a pure basketball lense. What Morris did will not fly in any other walk of life so bone this yarns
