The good thing is the Heat do not have one specific player you can zero in on to shut down on offense. The bad thing is their defense at it's core boils down to just one guy. Bam! If he gets into any type of foul trouble they are positively bleeped. And this is why I don't feel good about the Heat but still hoping for a miracle. Interesting factoid. Jimmy Butler and LeBron head to head. 17-17 |
Really should be 3-0 up. Coman's decision making can be super frustrating And someone remind me how much was Pavard bought for again? we've been overpaying for a lot of mid players lately no wonder the club is broke |
Uh oh. Brandt pulls one back |
2-zip Dortmund is a sure customer |
Panic in the MJ camp? Wasn't it the two wusses from LA that didn't want to be in the bubble in the first place? Shouldn't y'all be thanking the GOAT for salvaging this season? Would we even be talking about a Heat vs Lakers series if not for the GOAT. Smh |
haymekus:We warned them about this fraud. I don't know what Zidane was thinking paying £100m for a 28 year old who for all his skills has always been a mental midget who never delivers in the Champions League |
Aturitoroman:Madrid don buy akpuruka. Ebu Bling bling panda ![]() |
Sane is out for 3-4 weeks Cuisance on his way to Leeds United. I hope this damn board knows what the fuq it's doing. They are working overtime to sabotage Hansi Flick it seems. Our primary threat Liverpool took Thiago and added Jota yet here we are making absolutely no moves. It's shocking |
raumdeuter:Lmaoooo you get time walahi. Imagine someone spewing ignorance with authority It's not by force to speak on wetin you no know about nau |
Oro di Hmmmmm Oro pesi je oh |
Where is that nepotistic clown. You can see how Lamar Jackson looks when he has to face a real QB. Midway into the 4th and he has less than 100 yards. In fact he has more running yards than passing as we speak. This is what some GMs or coaches see and decide to convert him to another position. Erroneous maybe but definitely not a matter of race. |
Roland17:Credit to your guy. I had 5 on them winning so he won me money. More credit should go to Zadarius Smith though. He won that game with that fumble recovery when the Saints were marching down the field in the 4th. Too bad he will never win another Superbowl hell he might never get to another one ![]() |
WeissVonner:It was really pathetic watching him openly lobby for Doc Rivers to be hired ahead of Mike D'Antoni. Imagine a Will Cain or Max Kellerman doing that rubbish on live TV. They would have been called racists. For some reason a lot of these African Americans feel they are incapable of being racists as well and have this ridiculous entitlement mentality. You appropriate African culture and yet consider yourselves different from Africans or alienate them I don't know why you would ever sit with a straight face complain about marginalization or race yet openly back a coach who has clearly underperformed. This man was front and center actively pushing for Brett Brown to get fired but kept conjuring excuse after excuse for Doc Rivers who had his full squad even suggesting that a coach who has lost multiple series with the better team and has for 7 years failed to take the Clippers past the second round be allowed to run it back. A coach that enabled these players and encouraged their indiscipline. From the Luka-Montrezl incident, to Luka and Marcus Morris It was really irritating to watch. |
Khanben:Lamar Jackson won the Heisman two years before he entered the league let's not forget. It's not like he was the hottest property going to the draft A bad talent evaluation should not always be misconstrued as a race matter. Didn't the Ravens go all out to get Lamar? The Cavs fired a white coach and hired a black one this off season. I didn't hear anyone complain. Roles reversed and there would have been outrage. You have Stephen A openly advocating for the Sixers to hire Doc Rivers ahead of Mike D'Antoni whereas to any objective eye it can be easily argued that Mike D'Antoni did a far better job in Houston than Doc Rivers did with the Clippers. This is the double standards that irritates my soul |
BascoVanVeli:You're a complete doofus. Giannis could give his high school teacher in Greece credit for all I care, the simple question is were the Bucks right or wrong to move on from Jason Kidd. BascoVanVeli:I'm not here for your shoulda woulda coulda analysis and the rest of the megedefegede you spewed above. Even a 5 year old can see the difference in quality of basketball the Warriors played in both eras. Now even if we agree Mark Jackson was wrongfully fired can you with a straight face say Steve Kerr has not done a better job? BascoVanVeli:Shut up Mr Nepotism we have no evidence of this going by your antecedents. If a coach is underperforming I call him out regardless of race. The same way I stand with Mike Tomlin because I know he is doing a damn good job with the Steelers I don't see race. I see you based on what you do BascoVanVeli:Why are you being stupid on purpose? As if coaches and GMs are not supposed to project. Have you forgotten a certain RG3?? BascoVanVeli:Name 1 black QB that is not mobile. I will name 5 that are. But continue chatting nonsense about a sport you know nothing about BascoVanVeli:I'm convinced you are dyslexic way beyond a reasonable doubt. How you botch even the most basic English like there's some language barrier in your head defies logic So tell us. How many touchdown passes and Superbowl appearances did that QB with a bad neck achieve. Mumu! Imagine comparing Cam Newton to Peyton friggin Manning |
chic2pimp:Yes he is clearly hungrier than most. I'm sure he tried his hands on other things but it probably didn't work. Though he said he has been fighting since 2008. Those taekwondo skills definitely are showing because he is about the only guy in that division if not the entire UFC that can stand on one leg and give you a head kick or a question mark kick without loading or telegraphing the kick at all. |
Celtics were the architect of their own demise. The GOAT dodged a bullet not giving Kemba the max. Even on a loaded team he managed to shrink and not do enough to help his team past the Heat. They were clearly the better team as in the latter games they always seemed to claw back no matter how many points the Heat led by. Overall the Heat just played harder. Bam was a monster I don't like their chances in the Finals. Not with Jae Crowder shooting like 6-40 in the series or something crazy like that, Jimmy Butler's shooting is also suspect and Bam is literally their only playable big. If he ever gets into foul trouble the Heat are bleeped. For the Heat to stand any chance they need to make sure their shooters Dragic, Robinson and Herro are in their bag. That's the only shot at getting those towers out of the paint. Miracles can happen sha but I struggle to see this not ending in 5 |
chic2pimp:Hehehehe. The boy is just a supernova. Considering he didn't move to a country you can call an MMA hotbed. I'm sure he's the only one in the team that took it this far |
BascoVanVeli:Funny question. What did he do? What was their record and what did his teams rank on offense? You might as well tell us Kidd taught Giannis how to play basketball. No wonder they are averaging 15+ more wins since he left BascoVanVeli:So stop your narrative about these coaches not getting opportunities I have named several and most of them fluctuate between average to downright bad BascoVanVeli:You are a liar without scruples and conscience. Shame on you. Because I am not supporting nepotism like you means I don't support black coaches. You must be doing crack!! Where were you when we were lamenting Dwayne Casey's firing with the Raptors? Name the successful black coaches that have been fired and their replacement did not come in to do a better job. Were Doc Rivers white you would be advocating for his firing you bloody hypocrite! I criticize underperforming black coaches and if they have performed to the point where they deserve a sack I will point it out. It's hypocrites like you that never keep the same energy BascoVanVeli:Now you're just being stupid and ignorant. A lot of black QBs have a history of being runners and not possessing sufficient arm strength to properly run an elite NFL offense. The more you run as a QB the more likely you get hurt, common sense Even Lamar Jackson had to work on his passing to get to where he is today but you can see that in the playoffs when push comes to shove he still struggles with throwing the football A former MVP 5 seasons ago. I agree he should have gotten a better deal but common sense should tell you that a mobile quarterback with foot injuries might not exactly be hotcake in the market. Lmaoooo at your Peyton Manning comparison. You're so clueless. How many TDs did Peyton Manning go on to pass for that year when he was signed. You think Cam will ever match that? |
WeissVonner:As a ball handler is what I mean. He shouldn't have been bringing the ball up court |
Heat have stopped moving the ball. Herro thinks he's James Harden now and Smart and Brown are just picking his pocket easily |
birdman:Naah he was pretty solid last season. He comes from a loaded college so I feel it's easier to sleep on most of their players because their numbers aren't so gaudy |
If Iguodala is going to keep making these threes the Celtics might as well pack it in |
How did Bam Adebayo fall to the 13th pick. He's literally the Heat's only playable big and he does it all. Olynyk is a defensive liability and Haslem is a mascot at this point |
isan:I think the way he fought Romero compared to how Izzy fought Romero really fooled a lot of people. I always felt if he survived the first two rounds he was good to go but alas Costa's fight IQ is arguably the lowest of a challenger I have ever seen. Izzy exposed him so badly it was comical. Dude transformed to a clown in the Octagon Literally doggystyled him at the end he might need to see a sports psychologist because this will take some recovering |
raumdeuter:What of Aouar from Lyon? I'm ok with a rookie at winger position but you see that midfield. If anything happens to Kimmich or Goretzka we are toast. Especially since rumors have it that Cuisance is leaving |
raumdeuter:You can't blame him. He follows these games on Bond FM. How do you expect him to know that Alaba has been our worst defender since the back end of last season. It's via that same Bond FM that he got to find out Thiago has been Bayern's best midfielder throughout his stay at Bayern I don't know what our board is doing but if he's not extending I think it will be asinine to not try to find out how much he would fetch in the market |
Heat need to beg Crowder to stop shooting at this point. He's shot the Celtics back into the game |
Celtics defense in the paint is so poor. |
chic2pimp:Corona? With the number of Nigerians running things in MMA just makes you wonder how many more Adesanya's are roaming round the streets of Lagos. |
BascoVanVeli:You don't know what you're talking about. The same Kidd that got to coach the Nets and Bucks? Avery Johnson didn't get opportunities? Byron Scott? Monty Williams? Alvin Gentry? Abeg stop talking nonsense BascoVanVeli:I will not join you to endorse the nepotism you're advocating for. If you as a black man cannot call out an underperforming black coach then what moral right do you have to criticize same in a white coach Don't bring black quarterbacks into the equation. Your beliefs count for zilch if they were not performing. Black quarterbacks are not a new phenomena, there's been a black QB MVP FFS, we just now have the best crop of black QBs in history and the cream always rises to the top. Same way it should be for coaches. Not that you will come here and be defending a man who has not taken a team to the conference finals in 7 years. That is arrant nonsense |
