Abeg, make we hear word. Which injury, the one he was faking so he can avoid Giannis or which other injury? If he was seriously injured, you think he would not leave the game? Someone that was trying to avoid Giannis from the 1st quarter as him see say Giannis dey on fire. AD was not injured, the way he played is the new AD and get ready to see more of him this way. Someone that was looking for an excuse for having a bad day at that point, he was injured and played heavy minutes... TAH!!

Chale just allow am make he continue to dey deceive himself

Of course he was on one leg after Giannis spent the first 3 Quarters bussing his ass. Where was the one leg AD in these clips. Alainitiju oniro. Shior

most annoying part is he still shot the ball. Like bro, he could have passed the ball right there and then.


A40, he makes me sick

He has the worst basketball IQ I have ever seen for an elite potentiall hall of famer. He's like a Ferrari engine in a Datsun body

E say na one leg. This brudda is shameless. Excuses are the tool of the incompetent. Keep crying

I thought e go even point out the Bucks defensive scheme and how they doubled AD compared to the Lakers who were giving Giannis open express to the basket. Not forgetting AD tried but simply couldn't stop Giannis who was 7 of 11 with AD as his primary defender

Whether healthy or unhealthy 0 Final MVPS, 0 League MVPS, 0 DPOYs. There's levels to this. Topic conclude.

Giannis dumped 47 on this man's dome . The so-called best big in the league

somebody look at this nigga.

Hahahaha. This guy is unbearable. LeNomad should have known better

Best Big in the League no be by mouth oh na by doings. Giannis Onye Eze

Khanben:
For all your talk, no GM will trade Luka for Tatum, for Trae young some will, but for Luka, you will get laughed out of the room

What is the correlation between this and someone saying Tatum has been far exceeded like he's not had All star and All NBA status

birdman:
Luka has. You cannot trade Luka for Tatum. 2 Tatums even That is the definition of far exceeded.

Others have exceeded Tatum, but not by much - Trae Young for example.

Ja Morant approaching Tatum. If this season is like last season, with Tatum underperforming and Morant making noise in the playoffs, well...

Ill skip the bigs since they usually dont follow the same trajectory as guards, forwards

Taaa! I no gree this one. Jayson has led his team to a Conference Final, been an All NBA player and All star so don't tell me any of his mates have far exceeded him. Not even LUKA

Trae Young ko, Trae song ni. Where is his All NBA appearance? He's just doing what Jayson did two seasons ago. You could argue it was a good team, he was still the best player on it

Lol at Ja Morant. Just lol

Wait. You think Luka would have beaten the Nets last season in the playoffs?

KD had to leave the Warriors. That one is a no brainer. Just 1 ring even with these Nets would get him a bit more respect than what he did with the Warriors. Hell if he had beaten the Bucks last season and lost in the Finals he would get more respect among the really loud fans even his haters on SM

Kyrie and Ben Simmons are so feckless. I've never seen two guys so dedicated to squandering their prime quite like these two in all of sports.

In a perfect world they will be playing sports like tennis or boxing where others fortunes are not tied to them

Ibime:
Rohr has achieved my expectations of qualifying for every tournament and getting to AFCON semi each time.

I couldn't care about all that talk about promising players because we had promising players when we failed to qualify for 2006 World Cup, 2011 AFCON, 2015 AFCON and 2017 AFCON before Rohr

You must have short memory to miss 3 out of 4 AFCONs before Rohr, then act like Rohr is the one holding you back when he has delivered every time. Disgraceful. Nigeria never missed AFCON in my lifetime and always made semifinal since I was born (except 2004 quarters) before these so called local coaches started failing to even qualify.

Rohr has stabilised our defence and brought professionalism to our backline, unlike before where we would be seeing Furo Iyenemi and all sorts of barely professional players in our defence playing like semi-professional defenders. For the first time, we have foreign raised players wanting to play consistently for Nigeria over many years because they know there is consistency and merit in the selection process unlike before when they know they can lose their place at any time to a Plateau United player or an expired old pro who paid bribe to take their spot. Now we have good talents like Joe Aribo, Ola Aina etc commiting to Nigeria full-time.

Speaking of talent, we are nowhere near the most talented in Africa. Senegal have by far the best team on paper and Ivory Coast and Algeria have better names on paper, while we are on par with Morocco, Egypt and Cameroon

Rohr has spoilt us. We have forgotten how we used to rely on Laplace transform every final day of qualifiers so quickly. Anytime I hear these complaints I just laugh

Lol. Blame Draymond Green. I don't understand how any man stays after all that drama plus the NBA Finals where he was under pressure to play. Whether direct or implied

Overall it had to happen just like Brady and Belichick had to split. Part of the thrill is watching to see who is first to a ring the Warriors or KD

birdman:
far exceeded or approaching is what I said

Nobody has far exceeded Jayson Tatum for starters

You just knew Lonzo would show up

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.

Khanben:
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

This Derozan Lavine 1-2 punch is a big problem

birdman:
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??

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

Devvy4:
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

Roland17:
@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

Roland17:
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

Khanben:
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

Roland17:
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

birdman:
a40!! a-foh-ti ooo, iwo da! where are you? where is dis one. a40 come here! you see yourself? you see yourself?

Una don make una bed make una lie on top am. If 5 HOFers can't figure it out that's on them. We are not buying the excuses either way

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

birdman:
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

birdman:
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!

birdman:
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
