LOOOOL.....I am sure A40's hopes weren't too high going into the season.

He definitely needs to retire. Absolutely dreadful performance thus far. He is rich,famous, has two rings � and a sure fire first ballot hall of famer so what else is He waiting for? For the sake of Mike Tomlin's career, He should come and be going abeg.
Big Ben threw 68 passes. That is absurd and I struggle to see how that Offensive coordinator would ever get another coaching job in the league if not for white privilege. Big Ben needs to retire but I guarantee even Mahomes will fail with that coordinator and his rubbish play calling.

Haha. Everyone loves Mike Tomlin and he is not going to go down easily. He has made several adjustments including moving JuJu to the slot and playing zone coverage since Baker is also not throwing deep. The Browns are tiring out like I predicted but Mike Tomlin is the bigger X factor. Can the Browns see this one out?
This loss falls firstly on Big Ben. Once we get the amateurish snap from a veteran center like Pouncey out the way. No elite QB should be throwing the kind of picks Big Ben threw today

With that being said and it hurts me to say it but Mike Tomlin in the beginning of the 4th cost us. In the playoffs especially he seems to have this knack for beating himself before the other team beats him. He never seems to know when to go for a 2. When to go for a 4th down and when to not go for a 4th down. He had a 4th and 1 down 12 on the 46 yard line and he elected to punt. The brash, tough talking Tomlin when it was time to show and prove chickened out and deservedly lost.

This team needs a hard reset. Aside Minkah Fitzpatrick, Claypool and TJ Watt I couldn't be bothered about the rest of the team. The offensive coordinator has to be fired expeditiously btw

Trump encouraged it.

He told them to march to the capitol. He had built up their anger for days prior to that incident by claiming it was going to be wild and all sort of other nonsense on twitter and Facebook.

Stochastic Terrorism: The idea is that someone who is a leader or who has a voice in the media puts out messages that there’s a reasonable certainty someone will act on. You have no idea who that person is, but someone, somewhere, will act on those ideas.

At the rally, Trump said:

“I just talked to Mike [Pence], I said, ‘Mike, [overturning the results] doesn’t take courage. What takes courage is to do nothing. That takes courage.’…We’re just not going to let that happen.”

“Our country has had enough, and we will not take it anymore, we fight, we fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

“We will never give up; we will never concede,” Trump said to thunderous applause. “We will stop the steal. We’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol…We’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones…the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”

The crowd cheered and yelled, “Fight for Trump! Fight for Trump! Fight for Trump!”.


In addition, BLM did not try to take over the government.

grin at burning down the country. It seems you also forgot the umbrella man.
You can always trust Trumpanzees to provide daft analogies and comparisons

Don't get my point wrong. We are actually on the same page that you don't necessarily need to have a dominant Facilitator to win the NBA, however you in the absence of a Facilitator you need a system in place.

The big 4 spurs, the Kobe lakers never had a dominant Facilitator but they all had a well coached system whether its a motion offence, a triangle or some hybrid of it.

I brought up the warriors example just buttress the point. One of the underrated features of stever kerrs regime is that the team regularly leads the league in assist. There is so much off the ball action and the ball movement is constant. The clippers would benefit with such coaching instead of Kawhi and PG taking turns to iso in crunch time.
Fair point. The biggest issue for me is their lack of chemistry. They need more reps together in crunch time which they didn't have last season. The fact that they get to the position to blow these leads mean there is or was something they were doing right.

Tyron Lue did say he was going to implement the triangle this season. I'm seeing it in spurts but not with any real consistency.

Understand though that in crunch time it will still boil down to your superstars having to go iso. Pressure is just what burst pipes as we've seen the likes of Steph, Klay and GS go scoreless the last 3 minutes of Game 7s despite their fancy assists and ball movement

Isn't it curious how the same people who defended that Christian baker when he refused to bake a wedding cake for the gay couple are all of a sudden crying that a private company banned orange Reagan from his platform because he broke their terms and conditions??

I personally wouldn't have banned him permanently but these "free speech crusaders" need to shut the hell up! The same people that would tell you "leave it to/let the free market handle it" are now crying foolishly about favoritism. Now they want Gov to step in...what happened to hating government? What stops you comedians from going to Parler??

Jack may have gone a bit over the top(most likely in panic) but these hypocrites need to shut their damn mouths!!

Repeal section 230 gbuo gi there!!
If you opened a Twitter account and simply posted everything Trump has been posted on your account you would have been suspended at least on 4 different occasions. Jack gave Trump more than enough rope. Katie Hopkins was banned for life and she no do reach this one.

These Muppets spend their every waking hour mocking the left but how is it that none of these idiots have any platform of note that they can use to continue to propagate their hate and idiocy. You mean the entire right cannot create their own platform?

Yes they are doing that because your view point is fascism. Nothing more. The whole world reached an agreement that never again will it be allowed to rise. We will censor it, fight it, destroy it, starve it of oxygen. I will donate to the cause, sell my belongings and pay for every effort required to ensure its permanent demise. I will pass this doctrine on to my generations, to ensure that wherever fascism grows its ugly head, it be destroyed.

You on the other hand are just a complete idiot forming intelligentsia. You as a black man, are endorsing a man who openly accepts the support of people who in turn openly display Confederate flags, and brought a noose to the Capitol building. People who we are now learning wore TShirts with 6MWE on it. You are stupid enough to be aligning with people whose ideology is about entrenchment of ethnic supremacy and will shoot you in the head at point blank range when no one is looking, and you think you stand for something.

If not for anything, at least in the interest of self-preservation, gain some sense.

Don't let Bojo's bumbling oaf cult like figure fool you. Unlike Trump, Boris is actually a very intelligent chap who can hold His own when intellectual discussions come to the fore. Infact their respective physical appearances is where the similarities end because as far as innate intelligence is concerned, Donald can't hold His jock strap.
Bojo is a pretty annoying chap. I always found it corny of him wearing PPE and all the photo ops he does and he's been doing since the pandemic started like dude you ain't no scientist. I've never seen Angela Merkel a whole Dr of Quantum Chemistry prancing around in PPE acting like a scientist

They lack coaching though. You could see from the second half explosion of the warriors, the ball and player movement. You either have one dominant Facilitator running the offense like a LeBron or cp3 or you have multiple guys taking turns to create for others.
Let's not be too knee jerk about this loss though. I agree they have some holes but they beat this Warriors team just two days ago. This is Steph Curry we are talking about here and he can torch anybody

Which other team in the NFC is this loaded? I dare say the entire NFL! Yet, somehow, @A40 believes this Bucs team is not loaded and not built to win now!!! All because he was to protect the tap dancing Brady. Make dem no win the SuperBowl first!
Remind me how many playoff games this squad won last season?

Is it Fournette a mediocre running back that was chased out of Jacksonville of all places you're busy hyping? Or Gronk and AB who are great but have been out of the game almost two seasons before reuniting with GOAT Brady.

It speaks to Brady's greatness that at 44 years old you expect him to win a ring in his very first season with a new coach and without any off season preparations. There are levels to this

For some very weird reason we have continued to under estimate the importance of a scoring PG for the Clippers but make it imperative for other teams. Let me reiterate, no competitive team in the Western conference is competing without a scoring or high volume assist PG.
The Lakers-Rondo/ Caruso last season, this season Schroeder/ Caruso
Utah-Donovan
Denver-Murray
Mavs- Doncic
Suns-Booker/Paul
Warriors-Curry
Blazers- Lillard
Thunder last season- CP3
These cats provide high volume scoring/ assists. In the post season you need a PG who can put pressure on a the defense with penetration or perimeter offense form the top of the key because the game slows down into a half court. Relying on PG13/Kawhi alone will not cut it, not saying they are not good enough. I have been saying this for 3 seasons now but nobody wan listen.
I think there is an element of over simplification on this matter. Whatever they lack in guard play they have in possessing not one but two of the top 10 wings in basketball.

Plus they do have Lou Williams who something isn't right with or perhaps he has simply reverted to his normal level

If the Clippers are good enough to go ahead 3-1 versus these so called teams with better PGs then it simply means they found a way in these games to stop doing what they were doing previously.

Of all these teams you raised up I ask a simple question. What is their equivalent to PG and Kawhi? Because their weaknesses in a certain aspect is also a strength in others

If Tesla was run by a dull paper pusher type person instead of a charismatic genius/guru like Elon Musk its valuation would be high but definitely not this high. No one said it should not have high value but if you look at the fundamentals of the company itself it is obvious that people are being emotive to a fault rather than being analytical.

They are banking partially on Tesla the company but more on Elon Musk the man, and that is a very risky tactic.
Lool Elon is more or less viewed as the modern day Tony Stark. I do believe that it is going to take some significant period of time for the bubble to burst.

Tesla is the poster boy for the current market bubble, more than octupling in price in 1 year and with a Price-Earnings ratio 50 times the S&P average. A lot of people will cry when Tesla burst.

Nah I wasn't right on Bïtcoin. I was expecting a correction in the short term before it proceeds again. I don't have the stomach for Bïtcoin jare cos I keep expecting it to crash. I did small trade on Saturday evening when it was around $31k, rode it up to $34, as soon as it dropped to $32k, my mind cut and I withdrew. Since then its gone to 41 but I don't have the stomach at any of these prices. I will wait for a steep correction before I enter. In the meantime, I just prefer to be collecting steady $30 or $40 gains per day from my êtoro copies, that one is stress free that I just check once or twice a day, not refreshing my phone every minute like when I'm in bitcoin position. I'm.just waiting for Bïtcoin to start dropping to short MARA and Riot, then when it stabilises, I will enter long position on bïtcoin. Till then na siddon look.

A second impeachment is the right and most moral thing to do. trump will be barred from presidential pension for life and will never hold office again. He will lose his power and relevance in the Republican party if he is impeached and successfully convicted by the senate.
Exactly. He has to be defanged and the possibility completely eliminated for him to ever be a factor in American politics. Whether him or his children or anyone he endorses. Failure to do so is tantamount to kicking cans down the road

Impeaching Trump will be the most foolish decision. It will further embolden his supporters. That may be the last straw that would lead to a second civil war.

These people fear that America as they know it is under threat. That may not be true but they genuinely feel that way. They felt Trump has been the only one in the last 4 or 5 decades who tried to address those flaws. Any attempt to attack Trump would be viewed by these people from a very personal standpoint.
Don't let these anarchists on this thread fool you. The Trump stans are only acting that way because they have a man that has enabled them long enough. Once his tenure winds down they cannot do more than a hanging shimmy once his replacement shows zero tolerance for their crap.

Trump has a lot of stans who voted him in for various reasons. But for those deplorable bunch for example that stormed the Capitol, America has always been under threat in their eyes, they were always this way, all racist bigots but only able to show their true colors thanks to Drumpf

So today I read about failed coups and the ripple effects. I never knew that Hitler once had a failed coup, he once tried a coup that failed heavily, like trumps. He was laughed at. Within 10 years he became a dictator. Same as Hugo Chavez planned a coup, it failed. Within 10 years he became a dictator

If Trump isn't impeached and prosecuted accordingly, it would send a signal to fascists like Hawley, mike Flynn, ted Cruz, Don Jnr and trump himself, that the can plan an insurrection and nothing would happen

Trump must be used to set a precedent, it must be made clear, that now or in the future, no person can lead an insurrection against the U.S government without repercussions.


Just my own little take
I said this some pages ago. An example has to be set of him. So another new improved him does not sprout up. Same mistake was made with Hitler, Jerry Rawlings.

His stans will rant and rave in the interim but once a crackdown on those idiots who stormed the Capitol is effectively conducted watch the rest fall in line. Don't forget that the other side also has the capacity to fight because of the uniqueness of the American society. .

Whatever happens Trump must be held accountable and his incompetence highlighted in full glare

They still need to figure out scoring from that PG position, that is inevitable! P. Beverly will not cut it as a starting PG.
I think they have enough scoring elsewhere to make up for that. Few teams have as many wings and 4's even stretch 5's that can score. I would try to move Beverley and Lou Williams for some younger points though but who would bite?

They have enough to challenge and win as currently constituted if they play to their best. They had no business blowing the lead again today
