Camavinga wey Madrid don chook mouth. Nah men

Maybe Brozovic, I don even hear rumors of Gotze

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

Vs PSG in the CL final Alaba again the worst Bayern player

So in Alabas last 3 competitive games he has either been Bayerns worst defender or the worst player on the field

That is why we tell you to leave Bayern player ratings to those wh watch them every week

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:
He isn't. Really proud of Him of the Lad. To think We attended the same Primary School in Naij and look where He is now, it's literally insane.

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:
Patrick Ewing, Sam Cassell, Jason Kidd, Kevin Ollie, etc. I can go on with names of black coaches who have never been given an opportunity.

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:
Why is it nonsense to believe in yourself? I believe black coaches can do the job just like I believed black quarterbacks could do the same as their white counterparts. The same token excuses were made when we all know that the we have not seen nearly enough black people in the position to make a judgement. And the worst thing is when people like u undermine the cause with flimsy excuses gotten from white people. If we all don't see there is a problem nothing will ever get solved

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

BascoVanVeli:
Why should I cry for anybody? If a coach is given adequate opportunities that is all we ask.

I don't care what u expect. Doc Rivers is a solid NBA coach and if u told every owner that every black coach they hire would turn out like Doc they will jump out on it. Same as George Karl and Mike D'antoni.

So who are the black coaches that have not been given adequate opportunities. Even the two we can sincerely say were wrongly fired, time has since proven that perhaps they knew and were seeing what we didn't see in the case of Casey and Mark Jackson

BascoVanVeli:
I can't say Mark Jackson would have been as successful as Steve Kerr but they would never be successful without Mark. He was the foundation of the house.

I have not found anyone in disagreement with this

BascoVanVeli:
Nobody is asking for hand outs. I am just saying that as a black person, what do u gain by talking down on what others feel is affecting them? If u are happy with the status quo cool but leave others to fight for theirs.

U want them to be perfect and that is nonsense because the white coaches don't have to be perfect. U have a Tyrone Lue with a championship sitting as an assistant. Where else do u see nonsense like that?

It is called being consistent. If I see an underperforming black coach I call him out so when I'm calling out a white one tomorrow I don't look like a hypocrite. And this was the issue with Stephen A for example who is not keeping the same energy with Doc that he had with Brett Brown.

Stop this nonsense about wanting black coaches to be perfect. Coaches that don't perform typically get fired regardless of race. The last Cavs coach was white and he got fired after 1 season. Enough with this race nonsense

Ty Lue was supposed to be the Lakers coach but the same offer he rejected Frank Vogel accepted. That's just how it works sometimes

WeissVonner:
You can't just use one possession to negate the defensive masterpiece LeBron put up in the 4th. LeBron is the king of getting hacked with no calls so miss me with that. No way the refs were going to call something like that in crunch time. Inspiring that the old man wanted all the smoke with all of them.

If only your man Kawhi was more like him, maybe your predictions wouldn't have gone to the shitter and maybe you wouldn't be the subject of so much ridicule right now.

You dey mental! Defensive masterpiece my butt cheeks. That was literally the theme of the game. Its easy to want smoke when you can get away with blatant fouls like that

No way the refs were going to call a blatant wrist check while he was driving to the rim? Is this gridiron?

LeNomad got no calls? This man literally got a flagrant 1 for getting brushed on the beard. Negro please

birdman:
I agree on Doc Rivers. Malone is not in that circle imo. He has the luxury of a Tim Duncan like payer, who can also shoot the 3. That alone distorts defenses. Then he has Murray, who can make impossible shots and keep them in the game. He is a good coach, but he has a really good team.

He groomed the team. Gary Harris was supposed to be a big deal but he stagnated and Jamal Murray has picked it up. Nurkic and Jokic could not coexist so he wisely moved him to Portland

KNIGHTBlaed:
Guarding on who? Biko, it was the refs that guarded Murray.

Lmaoooo Mfers are literally blind at this point.

WeissVonner:
Cry more.

Don't call hacking guarding you clown is all I'm saying

raumdeuter:
You know our management are being careful, we have a first 11 but we need depth. How do you get a quality depth player who would agree to sit on the bench
The likes of Coutinho Perisic
With covid now everyone dey kaku and dem no wan pay maga money

Coutinho and Perisic had pretty high wages. I know the board will be very reluctant to keep making those type of deals. Also explains why Thiago was let go with minimal fuss. No point keeping him on the books for another season then losing him for free

Can't see anyone on the horizon and I'd rather roll with youth than an overpriced backup.

raumdeuter:
If Tolisso stays fit he might be very important this year. I still believe Tolisso can be useful though especially if Leonidas is out

I think after winning the CL, the hunger of some players and management might have gone down so we need to refresh with hungry ones

The jury is out on Tolisso but the fact that he seems content with being backup is worrying to me. When he comes on I don't see any moves on the pitch that makes me go this guy should be starting.

Do you have a particular name in mind? Are you on the Camavinga hype train

Any crazeman Bronsexual can say he guarded Jamal Murray when he's allowed to do this

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2841084-2019-20-nba-title-odds-lebron-james-lakers-favored-after-raptors-finals-win

Like I said, you're functionally illiterate. This article literally mentions that the odds were 24 hours after the finals. Was Kawhi with the clippers then? Or are you going to deny posting that now you lying sack of rat turd. The second article is not even quoting any betting site but just an opinion poll. Bloody clown.

WeissVonner:
Were the Lakers not the underdogs? did every betting site and sports website not have the clippers winning ahead of the Lakers mainly because of stupid analysts and the naive sheep like you who follow them? Then the Lakers were underdogs period, don't try to spin it any other way now.

You are a demented dingbat. Weren't you the one that typed this or was it one of your other bazillion personalities. Did you restrict it to just betting sites?

Confused mofo. Or you don't know what the word 'every' means again? Illiterate

etidy:
Doc rivers is a good coach, he's definitely not elite.
He has had several good teams with the clippers and can't even make a conference final.

I have at least Eric spo, nick nurse, Greg popovich, Rick Carlisle, Steve Kerr, Brad Steven's ahead of him

And right now Mike Malone is also doing a better job

Doc Rivers is an overrated coach. That is just the inconvenient truth. People want him to be good so bad but 7 years with the Clippers and zero CF appearances. The numbers don't lie.

BascoVanVeli:
Let me get it straight u blame the players when it comes to white coaches but on the other hand the black coaches are the problem?

I like that you're coming here from outer space to authoritatively conclude on what you don't know about. Where were you when we were defending Dwayne Casey for getting fired fully aware that DeRozan's choking cost him his job?

BascoVanVeli:
Make no mistake Doc Rivers is an absolute legend. Even what he did last year with an 8th seed was absolutely incredible. U sound crazy even questioning Doc. Should he win every championship before u know he is the man? If a team beats u 3 times straight that should tell u they are not average. If a team does it twice.....

Whether he is a legend or not is immaterial and hardly germane to the debate. What he did last year was commendable but to whom much is given much is expected. He failed woefully this season and he has failed woefully in the past with quality rosters. He was the ultimate enabler in a Clippers squad that lacked discipline and were inconsistent from start to finish. To the point where his players felt comfortable talking nonsense to another opposing coach like him. It is this lack of accountability that transferred to the court with players like Patrick Beverley and Marcus Morris

BascoVanVeli:
Imagine having a championship and people making noise. Why wasn't this same noise made about George Karl who has won over 1000 games without a trophy?

I challenge you to name one team George Karl underperformed with and was not promptly fired. Any team he got as much rope as Doc. Just one

BascoVanVeli:
Bud had Joe Johnson and Josh Smith. He just couldn't get the best out of those guys when it mattered. We have seen Josh win games for Harden in Houston and Joe is quality. Yea bud lost to LeBron but he never competed. U are number one seeds for a reason. So it's not like that team was so much better for them just to roll over every single time.

Where did you see coach Bud have Joe Johnson and Josh Smith for the Hawks? Lol stop smoking woolies

BascoVanVeli:
Mark Jackson played point guard for the new York Knicks how does he not know Xs and Os? He made the splash brothers. He gave that team the confidence to do what they do today. The only complain was religion as he is a pastor.

Can you say it with a straight face that that Warriors team would have reached this level with Mark Jackson at the helm. Let's see if you can be honest

BascoVanVeli:
U keep talking about one off situations when the NBA is majority black. Why on Earth should black people not get a good number of the jobs? We don't reduce the number of white coaches when a white coach messes up so why now?

Do you have majority black coaches? Abeg stop endorsing nepotism. If a competent black coach is being sidelined we will point it out. Why do you want handouts?

I won't sit and defend an underperforming black coach just because he is black. That would be hypocrisy.

raumdeuter:
We lack bodies in midfield we need players even if on loan

I don't disagree but I question the plans of this board. I don't even know if they are interested in getting anybody.

I have resigned myself to the fact that we might be seeing more Cuisance, Tolisso and Fein. It's better I think if we see what we have in these guys so we know what to do for next season. No point keeping them if we have no faith in them.

Tolisso especially has low-key been a flop and might join Sanches as two of Bayern's worst signings in recent memory.

WeissVonner:

Just show us where those two articles I posted before Kawhi joined the Clippers are. Nonce

WeissVonner:
Lol. I don't think it is. It's quite straightforward. Why did you vehemently claim the Lakers won't win a championship because the Clippers will beat them?

If the Clippers beat them they don't win a Championship now do they? There is a reason I put the caveat of me not trusting the Clippers against any team not named the Lakers even back then.

It's a nuance anyone without IQ in negative integers would easily grasp.

Dwight absolutely dominant on the boards. Insane

WeissVonner:
Why did you say the Lakers wont win a championship because the Clippers would wax them?

In light of the back and forth on this thread and everything that has being said, this is a criminally stupid question to ask

These were the latest odds before the Clippers sh-t the bed.

You claimed the Lakers won't win a championship because you were sure the lakers will stop them, stop backtracking you spineless mo.ron.

You also claimed LeBron will never win another championship again. Shameless idiot.

Why are you lying you forked tongue serpent? Did Kawhi join the Clippers late August? Why did you claim two of the links I posted were after Kawhi joined the Clippers

Ignorance is legal tender in Bronsexual country surely. When I said you rely on absolutes and make foolish statements without regards for context I wasn't exaggerating. I have proven that the Lakers were anything but underdogs and if you consider being among the top 2 teams to win a title the equivalent of being an underdog then you're further justifying my stance of you being a dangerously obtuse Bronsexual

Should the Lakers make it to the Final they would have been favorites against all 4 teams they have faced. So how can you open up your smelling sem€n swallowing mouth and call them underdogs? How??

WeissVonner:
So you weren't sure they would beat other teams but you're sure they'd make it far enough to beat the Lakers? What kind of logic is that? Seriously, what kind of dimwit is this?

A40:
You're a spastic and dyslexic dimwit fr.

You're too much of a simpleton to understand context and nuance. You only understand absolutes you binary fucktardious cretin.

Bronsexuals are just too dense. This is why I hinted at the above. Which you're promptly proving. Why do lower seeds lose to higher seeds? We have seen #1 seeds projected to win it all lose to an #8 seed so who was to say a lesser team who matches up well with the Clippers couldn't beat them.

WeissVonner:
LMAO! Why should anyone take this guy seriously at this point? Like I said, Village Idiot!

You're so goofy. You're only highlighting how consistent I've been since day one. And you're too stupid to even know it. Not one contradiction. Clippers inability to take care of other teams which I pointed out is why we never got to see if they beat the Lakers or not.

If you were intelligent you would present proof of me suggesting any other team would beat the Lakers. But you can't you pathetic Bronsexual nonce

WeissVonner:
Dude, why are you contradicting yourself again?

This clown literally just claimed the Clipper lost because they were focused on the Lakers, now he's already backtracking. Seriously, what is wrong with this idiot?

Were the Lakers not the underdogs? did every betting site and sports website not have the clippers winning ahead of the Lakers mainly because of stupid analysts and the naive sheep like you who follow them? Then the Lakers were underdogs period, don't try to spin it any other way now.


Look at the mental gymnastics this dull ignoramus is trying to do. I hope you didn't lose your 3 IQ points writing that. So the team whose best two players are a washed old man and an overrated choker somehow turned into the best team. If you weren't sure about them making it past other teams why bet on them winning it all? I have never met a more shameless loser in my life. Stop embarrassing yourself village idiot.

You're a shameless and despicable human being. All you do literally is lie. At 3 different points too so you cannot present any excuses


What a fuvktard. I've repeatedly shown proof of the fact that I was never oblivious of the team's quality. I didn't think they needed Kawhi and I also pointed out that they added enough and even more than I envisaged. That was a honest assessment that was made even before a ball was tipped. If you're too stupid to parse these things then I'm sorry you're beyond redemption.

You lying cretin. When did I give any type of guarantee that the Clippers would do anything else other than beat the Lakers. I would be interested in you showing proof of where I declared Clippers any type of champions whether regular season or post season. Shameless nonce

What is wrong with these two jesters? Anyone seeing the post can see I was bullish about the Clippers beating the Lakers but was suspect about their ability to beat other teams. Even a 4 year old can understand this is possible.

I don't know what posting it proves apart from the fact that you're a very simple minded bunch. It's pathetic

BascoVanVeli:
Brett Brown didn't get fired because Simmons was missing in the playoffs, he got fired because he had no control of the team. Ben Simmons won't even attempt a jump shot while Joel is taking way too many.

What control could he possibly have wielded? He has a franchise center piece that refuses to shoot. Another one that can't get his conditioning right. Is it Brett Brown that will make Embiid play like Jokic? Who he is routinely compared to?

BascoVanVeli:
Who were the clippers before Doc Rivers? Let's not act like he didn't get them to this point. The bucks coach (Bud) has been guiding number one seeds to get swept out of the playoffs for years but u and every other pundit overlooked that.

Leave this banter. To whom much is given much is expected. Doc Rivers track record speaks for him. Only coach to blow 3 3-1 leads. 3! He coached that team poorly, and oversaw losses to inferior competition. Do you know how hard it is for a less talented team to beat you 3 times in a row?

Coach Bud has been taking less talented teams to punch above their weight. He took the Hawks to a conference finals without a top 15 player in the league. He has done it with the Bucks with Giannis and inshallah. But regular season masks the limitations of players. He's lost to better teams everytime

BascoVanVeli:
What has Luke Walton (love his dad ) done to warrant being fired from the Lakers and immediately get picked up by Sacrament while Mark Jackson is still wasting away on TNT? (love him on there sha ).

Sam Cassell is an assistant and Lue has a championship. I know he gets the "LeBron won him" comments but there are many coaches who don't have one.

Come on. The most common complaints about Mark Jackson have been his lack of X and O's and how much he was holding the Warriors back.

Dwayne Casey was fired by the Raptors and immediately landed with the Pistons. Let's not forget this

As for Cassell and Lue I don't have much to say about them but they were part of the Clippers debacle. I don't know how it helps their case

WeissVonner:
When A40 tries to talk about basketball on this thread.

This is literally you and your brain at work when simple concepts like context is at play

Can't seem to find Hummels here

WeissVonner:
So its their focus on their arms race with the Lakers that made Kawhi and Pandemic P get outscored by Jamal Murray in game 7 while shooting less than 20% from the field yeah? Its their focus on the Lakers that made Wayoff P hit the backboard on an open corner 3 yeah. Shut up you slowpoke! They just weren't as good as you idiots claimed they were. All these analysts were hyping them up and knuckleheads like you fell for it. Shame on you!

You're so stupid you keep bringing up old posts that work against you. Flip flopping like a mud fish.

Clearly you were fed your placenta as a child. That's why you have grown up to be an absolute dolt! More proof that you're completely bereft of any form of intelligence.

Even after clearly stating it to you and posting evidence that I didn't trust the Clippers against any team not named the Clippers you're still asking me stupid questions.

The Clippers were no good but you foolishly tagged the Lakers as underdogs. Idiot. You cannot even show where I guaranteed the Clippers would win a championship. Shameless coprophiliac

My old posts show that I was always consistent with rating the Lakers as a solid team and a clear contender for the title. So your foolish claims of me trying to downplay their feats now are null and useless

WeissVonner:
Real chokers huh? We've seen how this has worked out so far. Idiot

All you are saying is no one should take you seriously because you speak with both sides of your mouth and depending on how things work out, you will tell people what you really meant. All the wrong things you said will automatically become banter.

I do agree with that though, nobody should take this village idiot seriously anymore. His words not mine.

Again nuance and context. Let me explain in simple terms to you like you were 3. You have the cognitive skills of a 3 year old anyway

"The Lakers are the best team, but they match up badly with the Clippers, the Clippers however are vulnerable against other teams not named the Clippers and there is a distinct possibility that can happen"

And it did!! If you were remotely intelligent you would dig out posts where I suggested any team not named the Clippers stood a shot vs the Lakers you despicable nonce

WeissVonner:
Dude, you have made at least fifty contradictory statements within the past hour alone. You consistent? One second you claim with your heart on your sleeve that the clippers will win, the next you're scared they'll lose to a team worse than the Lakers. Have I ever strayed from my position? Inability to stick to one side of an argument is the epitome of b-tch a-s niggary. And you are the apotheosis of b-tch a-s niggas. You liked your bet but was too chicken sh-t to take a "risky" bet that wasn't even risky at all. What did you have to lose? You just keep proving my point, everyone can see you for the village idiot you are.

You're a spastic and dyslexic dimwit fr.

Who with working eyes did not see that the Clippers were completely focused on an arms race with the Lakers and didn't necessarily give their best when facing other opposition. Thank God there are receipts that show that I held that stance from day 1.

You're too much of a simpleton to understand context and nuance. You only understand absolutes you binary fucktardious cretin.

The Lakers finished like 6-7 games ahead of the Clippers which proves and tallies with my initial assessment from day 1. I said it here while you poosies were wailing about not landing Kawhi that it might have been a blessing in disguise as the Lakers were now able to assemble a more balanced team.

What any intelligent mind can deduce is the difference between anti-LeNomad propaganda and objective analysis. Polarising takes like that is what makes Sports banter interesting. But you're so foolish you can't see the forest for the trees
