I don't have time to start posting gifs of John Terryble performing Salat to RVP and marking his own teammates amongst other gaffes. Let me not start with Sergio Ramos
No defender that doesn't commit errors. What counts is what you wind up winning and BoaTANK just like Ramos is a proven winner
birdman: Harden came through! We have lots of cleanup to do though. Cant play Lakers like this
Barely. A 20 year old undrafted kid was giving him that work on both ends of the floor till that moment.
Next time somebody calls Harden the most dynamic scorer in league history where I'm at I go give am better konk for head. The hype job is sickening. This man has literally one boring ass move
FBS: No one is staning nada. Objectivity is lost on everyone so abeg leave that one for lawma.
The Mercedes cars are fast but you cannot overlook the other main other issue - tyre. We all saw what happened at Silverstone. And then of what use is Bottas challenging LH to Mercedes?
Whatever happen to your boy Vettel. What's the issue here - Car or driver or both?
Forget tyre issue. Their tyre will never influence more than a handful of races, either way they are too fast for the rest anyway so that's been rendered moot
Rosberg did. They were too fast for the rest that it didn't matter. Bottas is just a sitting duck
Ferrari didn't extend Vettel so his head is clearly out of the game, in hindsight it's probably a good thing since their cars these days are as fast as Keke Marwa
budaatum: Schumacher, Brawn and Byrne, hired by Todt, so a team effort as mentioned, and not just one person, same as Merc's wins are not just Hamilton's doing.
Anybody that thinks it's just the driver responsible for wins is just being naïve. Car is 95% of the work
Ibime: The young shall grow. I'm currently in hospital. My son climbed dining table this morning and fell on his head. As we picked him him up, expecting his cry, instead he fell silent and went into seizure and stopped breathing like a boxer about to die in the ring. The fear wey catch me. We gave him CPR and called ambulance. Luckily he caught his wind and regained consciousness after 3 or 4 minutes. After 2 or 3 hours in hospital he was back to his normal self and CT scan cleared him of brain bleed. We will be discharged soon. This made me reflect on the innocents whose lives became punchlines here a few days ago. It is completely unacceptable, and also unacceptable to accuse a father of molesting his children. Nothing scares in life more than losing children, and nothing offends a father more than being accused of being improper with his children, or mocking the death of children.
Sorry about this bro. I pray for complete healing. Iru e o ni sele mo.
I hope you give him this story many years later like they did for me
I think folks were starting to give the Raptors without Kawhi too much credit. I did a bit of that with Siakam too but we've forgotten so quickly who they were before The Klaw came to town. A lot of analysts were falling over themselves to almost downplay Kawhi's efforts. Let's see if they recover
As for the Jazz vs Nuggets all I can say is the best center in the league argument has been put to bed. I don't want to hear guys compare Embiid to Jokic ever again
And for the Jazz that were shamelessly and cowardly tanking to duck the Rockets only to wind up blowing a 3-1 lead. Se o tan yin? Obiii!
raumdeuter: We were looking at Sergino Dest as the backup right back for long but things have cooled in that area.
I have heard of Brozovic rumors too but I am not sure he mirrors Thiago perfectly. Maybe Kimmich can develop into that deep lying playmaker with Goretzka and Tolliso being the workers.
That said, I won't mind Brozovic. Kimmich Muller and Leonidas will probably be the preferred starting option
Brozovic definitely has the skills. He might not mirror Thiago with same consistency but he has similar passing range and skillset.
Brozovic is a baller, not necessarily elite but my real problem is his age and price. €40m for a 28 y.o is not smart business. Perhaps we replace Thiago from within. Kimmich can do what Thiago did, perhaps with a bit less flair but he can do a job
Roland17: The Thunder have to make a decision this off season about their perimeter offense. They are stacked with defensive players on the perimeter, they need to make a trade and get some scoring on the wings. SGA, L. Dort, A. Roberson, D. Bazley, H. Diallo, T. Ferguson is just too much perimeter defense with no offensive threat, maybe SGA.
I won't touch Roberson with a ten feet pole. OKC need to just hope their picks from the Clippers come good.
The guy they absolutely need to offload is Gallinari. He's a big game mental midget that's a poor rebounder for his size and won't take shots or seize the initiative in a close game plus he can't pass.
I think the game changed when Schroeder got ejected and Covington suddenly became prime Steph
Roland17: L. Dort has to start making options out of what the defense is giving him. He does not have to shoot the 3, he can drive to the bucket or move the ball. He is doing an excellent job defending Harden.
Why is Luguentz Dort taking 16 shots in a playoff game in the year of our Lord 2020. I think that's the more pertinent question
homesteady: The problem is that Messi wants to leave for free. It doesn't make sense for the club to lose him just 2 weeks to the start of a new season and not get any financial compensation.
Once clubs start bringing in proposals, the whole music will change.
That is probably annoyance on Messi's part. Personally I don't see what Messi has left to prove at Barcelona. Take risk and succeed!!!
You have 3 players that you bought with 9 figures. Let them prove their money's worth while you use funds from his transfer and other dead weight to build a more balanced squad in Europe.
Even with Messi Barcelona has lost that fear factor. Him staying guarantees absolutely nothing. Let them discuss and find a middle ground on money
nickvanilla: So according to reports, Messi wants to talk but Barcelona are denying him a meeting except he wants to renew? Ridiculous!!
I just hope we won't get to see another Gareth Bale situation with Messi. That would be damning for his legacy.
Forget the fact that people are cheering/tweeting about him now. Clubs are powerful and can reduce any player's value within a few months. Don't think Messi would be any exception.
If I were Messi's lawyer, I would advice him to swallow his pride, make peace and see out his contract for the next year. At the end, people will respect him more for not starting a war with a sick board.
Lmaooooooo what will make Messi's value reduce? You want to force a player that will go for free next year to stay on? Please who does that
If Barca were any type of smart they would try to find a mugu club willing to break transfer record for Messi. Even if it means collecting installments for the next 4 years, selling Messi at €250-350m is smarter business.
Messi can rebel because he has earned the right to do so. He has nothing to prove to the board, fans or neutrals alike. I think it's cowardly of the board that they are not planning for life after Messi. What is the advantage in holding on to a disgruntled Messi for another season? CL?
They have played 1 CL Final in 10 years and suffered progressively worse humiliation in the last 4 years. You can walk into any bookie and safely bet your mortgage on this present Barca Team not to win the CL so what really is the point?
FBS: I'm not buying the Max is driving a slower car story...the Honda engine is performing wonders so far and I don't get it, why should Bottas challenge LH? A Mercedes one-two is all the team needs. EOS.
Hahahaha. You're joking Bros. Please there is no rule that says you can't Stan objectively.
The Mercs are literally racing against themselves. The Honda engine is the second fastest but the Mercs are faster by some distance.
I can't say he should challenge Ham sef because you cannot be more than what you are, no disrespect intended. Bottas is a poor man's Eddie Irvine or Rubens Barrichello
Roland17: Baba, I no even get mouth to argue this one you type.
Did you just hinge on internal investigation? Breonna Taylor has been dead for a while now.. do you know the circumstances behind her death? Where is the internal investigation abeg?
Internal investigation that is controlled by the police unions, DA (district attorney) abi which one? Internal investigators that turned a left eye when Masai and his lawyers requested for the body cam?
Internal investigators for which shooting I wan begin talk? Rayshard Brooks nko?
I just posted a graphic that out of 100 officers only one ever gets charged. I don't know what kind of investigation they are doing. Only God knows
We saw a whole police department that sat on evidence implicating their officer and hired one with a criminal past. These are the people conducting internal investigations and you expect something tangible to come out of it
birdman: Like Fela said, animal in human skin... Its amazing the evil that men are capable of. Even "christians"
Like legit is there a time they don't think ok let's sheathe our sword for a second and understand that actual lives of their fellow citizens have been lost
Already after every shooting there's an internal investigation - what else do you propose should happen?
Internal investigation that yields what? I just posted that image some pages back that show that out of 100 of these cases only 3 police officers ever get charged. 3!! So essentially if a police officer shoots an unarmed citizen he is 97% likely to not get a charge. This is too high
NinjaMetahuman: for me, the problem with American police isn't everyone having gun although it contributed to it too.
There are many countries where guns are legal and these bullshit is not constant.
There are way too many hate groups in America that still function and have a lot of member today compared to other western countries like UK for example.
These people grow up hating or feeling threatened/intimidated by black people. Then, they get employed into police force and start shooting or racial profiling black people.
How do you expect a police with Confederate flag and KKK hood in his trunk treat black people?
And heavy division bwtween conservative and librals is not helping matter. As nobody is tackling fundermental issues anymore. everyone just see issue with political eyes first. It's us against them mentality now.
So everyone just sees or justifies whatever they wanna see now.
And ultrances and body language of their current president has made things even worse in that department.
My own is for erring officers to be held accountable at a higher clip. Since we have established that guns are not going anywhere and neither is racism.
Let more officers be held accountable!!! I have heard bants about police being scared and shooting even unarmed people in the assumed imagination of a threat. How can you have a system where 95% of officers don't get charged for these things and you expect encounters with police not to be tense.
It's a pity that nobody is willing to find middle ground but these bullets do not discriminate. The more immediate and feasible solution is for more officers to be held accountable for their crimes and then move from there
NinjaMetahuman: lol Your encounter sounds almost exactly like what Philando Castile did and still got shot in the face by police in front of his wife and child.
Even after killing him, the wife still acted cool and complied with all the police orders.
Bros you are just lucky. Atleast naija police want money, those American police want life.
Police filled with Aryan nation KKK, neo Nazis people dem.
chic2pimp: I saw that picture too. The Rumour at that time was that He was in character for a Movie role hence His dramatic weight Loss. Little did we know Colon Cancer had already eaten deep at that stage. Very sad Man. My Man acted out His role in Da 5 bloods whilst ongoing Chemo treatment which says a lot about Him. What a Fella.
James Brown was pure class however my Favourite Role of His was his portrayl of Baseball Icon Jackie Robinson in the Movie 42. It was so moving and touching I felt it in my bones. If you haven't seen it yet, I urge to see it. Stunning!
Chai dis year no balance o. Rest In Power Black Panther!
4 years. And the fact it never leaked out shows he had some very real people in his circle. Can't be neck deep in that battle and absolutely no one will know.
We had a freaking helicopter drop in Opebi yesterday. To think this year has 4 months to run.
In Yoruba we have a saying: Oku n sunkun oku (who go still die dey cry for who don die)
afrodoc2: So this is your conclusion from watching the video?
So the response to a well dressed middle aged black man at a basketball game is to shove him twice while he was obviously trying to bring out his badge and despite him clearly saying “I am the President of the Raptors” before the 2nd shove.
LOL
Guy, you seem to go out of your way to blame the black guy in almost every situation like this.
Whatta gwan?
I dey very confused. Like which kin victim blaming is this. O ga ju
Roland17: Dayo and whoever is interested..once again, watch this video I have attached and tell me what you see. This is not about gifs. This officer allowed all the white people that came through that same way pass without questions asked but once he saw Masai approach he acted differently even though Masai was being escorted by Warriors security. He never asked any of the white guys for credentials....Listen closely to what he says and how he apologized to the white guys as he redirected them. After the 1st push Masai says "Why you pushing me I have my pass on the president of Toronto". At this point the pass was out but he got pushed a 2nd time!
Let me also ask, why did the PD work so hard to hide this footage? Why did it take nearly a year before the body cam was released? Do you know the amount of pressure Masai, the Raptors and his connection put to force the PD to release this footage? This is even after the man has gone to court seeking damages in million and I am supposed to believe such officer?
You can't twist these stories..You can't writer these scripts..they tell the story.
Unlimited22: Something as simple as improving the UI would go a long way. These emoji for instance are from before I was in primary school. Even if it means having a functional app, and taking advantage of Google AdMob.
Well, like someone said earlier, I like the back-end structure. You can access Nairaland from ANY phone connected to the internet.
Forget UI. Na only up and coming indomie generation get time for that levels. Nigeria's present settings with poor bandwidth and all will surely cause problems.
The site might have an arcane layout but it's functional and does the job and sometimes that is all you need from a forum
