Players are allowed to have bad games. Lamar for now has not figured out how to win from behind, but IMHO he will get there.
As an aside if Andrews has not dropped that TD it might have been a totally different game

You guys just don't like observing patterns. I'm not saying he will never figure it out. But you can see how uncomfortable he has consistently looked when he has to throw the football. How can anyone not understand that this might influence how an evaluator would look at him when he consistently runs for more yards than he passes in games like these

No need to play that if and buts game. If the Chiefs S/T did their job the Ravens only score 13pts. Someone's failure leads to the results we see on the field

That money Alaba is asking for let's add it to what we want to give Kimmich when next he is due for a payrise

We only want volunteers here no hostages

And to the board give Hansi Flick some money you friggin akagums. I've never seen a club reward their manager with this kind of fuckery. Reminds me of Football Manager days sha when you win the treble and your board still won't give you shishi and even sack you on top

Now I even heard we are going for Thomas Lemar, Thomas Lemar who is dragging with Hidden Shakushaku as the worst flop in La Liga history. The same player I have been roasting Kagawa10 on. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways

WeissVonner:
If LeBron is playing, most players follow suit, period.

Apart from his own teammates apparently. If he couldn't make Avery Bradley play then he has fuckall power to do anything

WeissVonner:
Playoffs or not, they still get a share of TV money, which they will miss out on without the playoffs holdin.

These monies are not shared equally. The Lakers and Hornets are not getting the same piece of the pie, that aside you do realize the players were also going to lose money. It would also affect CBA negotiations. Don't act like it was not in the players interest to play as well

WeissVonner:
He doesn't he cares about LeBron and his legacy. Your man refused to do the last dance until immediately after LeBron won the 2016 title in Cleveland. We know whose legacy he's threatened by, he knows no one who follows his foot step will catch up with him, LeBron is doing it his own way.

He can do his documentary whenever he pleases. Why are y'all pressed about it? You younglings always like history erased, like it never happened. Like basketball legit started in this era.

LeNomad is an imitation. Wannabe Jordan, copied everything from the number to the movies to trying to make his shoes move numbers like MJ (we know that's never going to happen) so insecure man's no gree shave him apari head struggling with Rogain and shit

WeissVonner:
Lmao, Your man had scottie pippen who Phil Jackson described as the most complete player in the game and is constantly ranked top 30 all time. Scottie Pippen BTW, has gone way further without Jordan than Jordan has without him.

Pippen was a great player bless him but he has a lower PER than D.Wade, Kyrie and AD

He's never averaged more than 22pts in his career.

Of course Pippen went to the ECF one year with a team fresh off a 3peat. Big whoop! You think if LeNomad leaves this Lakers team they would go to the lottery? Try another joke. They were a team that had been together 2-4 years

Pippen played with more talented teammates and never got to an NBA Finals. Failed in Chicago, went to Houston teamed with Charles Barkley and Hakeem freaking Olajuwon. Failed again, Portland. Same story

WeissVonner:
I don't remember ever saying that but that doesn't take away from the fact that he was a hell of a player. That what he said is inane. And that he was bullied by old heads and presumably Jordan himself into changing his opinion when he said LeBron was better than him.

Facts Facts Facts

What are the odds a 50+ year old man gets bullied on his own opinions. Do you guys reason at all? Bullied by the Jordan he is not probably cool with? As Jordan's Robin he has more incentive to downplay MJ to boost his own legacy

WeissVonner:
Butler has never won a playoff series against Bron. Never will.

We shall see

WeissVonner:
LOL! LeBron was the first person to put his foot down and say nobody is cancelling the NBA season. Remember when Pat Bev said if LeBron is playing we're all playing? Then he considered leaving the bubble for issues bigger than basketball.

You must be some type of comedian. Like Bron can make anybody play? The only two teams that literally wanted to leave the bubble were the Lakers and the Clippers. Hell Bron couldn't stop his own teammates from not showing up at the bubble what makes you think he would stop anyone that wanted out. Lmaooooooo

WeissVonner:
Your goat did what was best for his pocket by acting as a mediator, he didnt salvage jack sh-t. If LeBron wanted this season done, it's done. I'm sure your goat at the time was expecting the Flippers to handle the lakers as well.

There is nothing your LeNomad could have done if everyone else wanted to play. What's best for his pocket? Is this the Air Jordan league or NBA? His team is not even in the bubble neither is his team relevant. He literally had no dog in this fight.

Laughable that you think the GOAT cares about the Clippers or Lakers. Supremely laughable

WeissVonner:
Now that he's seen what this win will mean for LeBrons legacy, he is sending his cronies like that sorry a-s crackhead scottie pippen to spew nonsense and try to create false narratives.

We are going to filet your goat and his legacy, I promise you. LeBron is not slowing down anytime soon. Death by a thousand cuts.

This win does nothing to his legacy. All we see is a guy who added the guy with the all-time 3rd highest ppg in playoff history in his prime. He better win the damn championship. Kawhi did more last year without the luxury of an AD so restttt

The nerve of y'all. How you the GOAT if you need a teammate averaging 29-10 the entire playoffs. Victor Oladipo will win the title if he had such a teammate

Btw I thought y'all swore Scottie couldn't stand Jordan. Which is it fellas? I'm sure if he said something pro LeNomad y'all would lap it up

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:
I knew it, this fraudzard will try his best to avoid el-Classico



FBI suppose arrest this scammer

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

Hazard out for 3-4weeks

Muscular problem in his right leg

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:
Someone was named best player in the entire league you are now crying that he didn't make team of the season

You are extremely ignorant and instead of seeking knowledge you resort to lies.

Below is the Bundesliga team of 2016

https://web.archive.org/web/20160715055012/http://www.bundesliga.com/en/fanzone/Team-of-the-season-1516-results/

Not only that Boateng make team of the season, He was overrall best player of the year

Boateng was in UEFA team of euro 2016 and uefa team of the season

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:
@A40, I know you are not watching the GOAT desecrate D. Brees and the Saints, without D. Adams

I will not tolerate any level of DISRESPECT from you tonight

You better show the GOAT some respect when you reply to this post, I am not in the mood after the Celtics loss

3-0

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:
Stephen A is a mo.ron. Him bringing up race when Steve Nash was appointed really made him look like a fool. African Americans are sometimes the architects of their destruction. This is why some people find it hard to listen to their plight because their approach to a lot of things is entirely wrong. Are they being marginalized? Of course they are, but you can't be advocating for equality and in the same breath propagating double standards. The Montrezl Luka incident also comes to mind. They need to figure out what exactly it is they're trying to do.

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.

Not to butt in, but Lamar Jackson not only won the Heisman in college but also had better passing percentages than Josh Allen. One of the persons saying lamar should switch to receiver, was asked about Allen (who IMHO is now making a case for being a top 10 QB) and his inferior throwing stats in comparism to to Lamar and was also a great athlete, his reply was 'Stats is for losers'.
I am not saying nepotism has a lot to do with coaching hires in the NBA, but sometimes its undertones can be sensed especially in giving someone the benefit of the doubt

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:
To start with that is a nonsensical analysis. Ever heard of improvement? Was Rome built in one day? The Giannis credits him so who the heck are u to say any different?

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:
U ain't slow. I know u know that without those black coaches those teams would never reach were they are now. U have to crawl before u walk. Have u ever seen a baby come out the womb walking? So why would u expect Mark Jackson to win back to back titles with all young players. This is how u people are joining Donald Trump to do nonsense in America.

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:
I won't b*tch about Rivers the same way I didn't b*tch about George Karl u clown.

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:
Now I know u don't know what u are talking about. We are talking about getting a chance to play the position and u are talking about them getting injured. Dude u can get hurt climbing the stairs so what is your point?

Why are you being stupid on purpose? As if coaches and GMs are not supposed to project. Have you forgotten a certain RG3??

BascoVanVeli:
All black quarterbacks are not fast btw.

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:
See there u go. U are already talking about the man's failure. Who are ? Are u Jesus? I tire for people like u sef. Mobile QB with a bad leg. Now compare that to a non mobil QB with a bad neck? U keep talking about common sense biko start using it

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:
Absolutely.... It takes talent, drive and ambition to achieve all He has achieved thus far in the sport. As far as I know yup. The majority of us at takewandoo only joined because our parents saw it as a way for us to keep fit. Wonder how He was able to convince His parents to let Him go down the MMA path? Unless He started very late in His life.

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:
Chrisland......They'll probably be a picture of the Taekwandoo team somewhere in my Parent's attic back in Naij. I bet loads of them. Most especially in the Public School system.

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:
Why isn't he an head coach? Look at what he did in both Brooklyn and Milwaukee. The reigning 2 time MVP owes the majority of his success to Kidd running him at point. He even was going to threaten management about his sacking.

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:
Avery Johnson won the coach of the year and had to settle with Alabama. All the other names u mentioned are solid coaches and it makes u wonder what others would do with the same opportunity.

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:
U didn't criticize nothing champ. Criticism is saying "black coaches need to be more blah blah blah". No, u said they don't deserve jobs because black coaches have been failures and that is a big lie.

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:
Here u go bringing your pro caucasian believes into NFL. Do u know that most black quarterbacks have to fight off getting their position changed at every level? Do u know that the mother of the current NFL MVP who is black had to call her son's school to remind them that she sent her son to them as a quarterback? Cam Newton is a former MVP and could only get a vet minimum. While Peyton Manning signed for millions coming off of neck surgery.

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:
So far in the clutch, he looks better than James Harden.

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:
Its only this season that he has looked like he wont be a bust. Cant blame anyone for passing on him

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:
Costa is all power and no brain Uriah hall dropped him with a jab Izzy make him miss and gas out then knocked him out

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
