Roland17:
Westbrook na real "Short 1"! Laying bricks, turnovers and commiting silly fouls.

Just terrible. This man shoots and plays his teams out of games. If they somehow win it would be inspite of him

Playoff Westbrook is unbearable. Finally D'Antoni gets him off the court

tesppidd:
How much could the Messi brand generate for Barcelona the next 1 season?

Really have no idea, am just asking.

If it's in the region of hundreds of millions then it would not be such a bad gamble to let him on for one more season and then lose him for free.

Well what was Barca's revenue last season? I think that would give a clearer picture.

I don't believe a Messi exit will dent Barcelona's revenue in the 9 figures. They are too big a club for that to happen. The issue is on the playing side if you hold on to a Messi that may or may not give his best, that could get injured, that could be a victim of Father time and just decline naturally.

I'm looking at your squad, I can't see too much improvement. It's still Busquets, Pique and Lengelenge with Semedo and Alba in that defense. So what's the point of holding on to Messi and wasting another year of the good ones he has left

SmooshCHN:
Seems like they all want to run on emotions instead of logic. American sport and politics has turned into a joke with this every day race thing.

Stephen A is just a noisemaker at times. The Sixers job is there, Pacers, Pelicans I don't know why he is so fixated on the Nets because of KD and Kyrie as if that duo is guaranteed to do anything. He has forgotten KD is a 32 year old coming off a torn Achilles tendon. What is the guarantee his game would not slip

In an alternate reality this could have been Nigeria's basketball team

PG-Victor oladipo
SG-Spencer dwinwiddie
SF-OG Anunoby
PG-Giannis
C-Bam Adebayo
Bench:
Iguodala, Aminu, Obi, DeAndre ayton, semi ojeleye
We legit could have been the best team in the world

I don't know about best in the world but definitely a team that can compete for a medal

birdman:
I didnt watch the game but looking at the box score, this win makes me nervous. Gordon went off. Westbrook went off. But on the Lakers side no one other than lebron and AD did much. This wont happen for 4 games in 7

You too dey fear. I hope your Rockets are not as fearful as you. You guys have a lot more depth than the Blazers, play better defense and so stand a much better chance. The Lakers are still favorites but it will be very naïve of them to believe these Rockets are anything like the Blazers

Anyway I have given the recipe for winning this series. Less spamming of 3's by Harden and Westbrook taking <20 shots per game.

Shout out to the Tuckwagon. How is this man 6'5 and always holding his own in the paint FFS

Make Lakers go dey prepare for Game 2. If Eric Gordon is balling like MJ then all hope is lost for the Lakers. You can't have all 3 balling

Lakers can't stop a nosebleed right now. You can't be trading Buckets with this rocket team whose guards are all in their bag tonight. Their size being nullified completely

See how efficient Harden looks when he's not spamming 3's. Really unless you're Steph or Klay you shouldn't be taking more than 5 3's a game in key playoff battles as the #1 scoring option

Roland17:
Giannis has not performed this post season. He has been very poor, there is 2 ways to put it. We have been very hard on the others but Giannis has not showed up.

It's almost like Giannis has checked out mentally. I'm not seeing that alpha dog mentality at all. Too much coach coach instead of focusing on his own weaknesses. He's been all over the place, perhaps he has seen that this thing pass him power and wants to japa.

Omo. James Harden is not here for games or your king

etidy:
The Raptors needed a win down 0-2, so Nick Nurse played Kyle Lowry 46 minutes, OG Anunoby 45 minutes, and Fred VanVleet 41 minutes.

The Bucks needed a win down 0-2, so Mike Budenholzer played Giannis Antetokounmpo (soon-to-be two-time MVP) 35 minutes ... again.

Only God knows what he's keeping Giannis for. Maybe there's another postseason that we don't know about. A bit bizarre that he and Middleton sat for 12 full minutes

I won't put the loss down to Giannis's minutes today though. They were up 12 entering the 4th but somehow contrived to score 13 points the entire 4th quarter. They couldn't get a free throw because everyone was too pussy to go hard in the paint.

I don't see the use of a Bledsoe or Middleton especially Middleton if he can't go get a bucket in a tight half court game like this (since we already know Giannis na liability) The Bucks had nobody who could go 3 straight possessions on offense. Nobody wanted the smoke

donlittle25:
Didn’t thomas once coached the Nick or was it President?


wasn’t it a disaster?

He's persona non grata over there. I don't know who keeps pushing these crazy narratives that black coaches don't get opportunities with little coaching experience

BykeLaByke:
Such a stoopid decision letting him stay sporting wise,but it's Barca and Bartomeu....so it's expected.

Should have been a season to make another record making deal and see what Dembele, Coutinho and Griezmann brings to the table. Coutinho and Griezmann turn 29 and 30 next season btw. A pity they are too scared to hand the keys of the team to players they bought for 9 figures.

donlittle25:
Allen Iverson?

I no fit laugh

Miami owns these people's souls. Philly really shat the bed letting Butler go.

This Bucks team na fraud though. While the game was close their collective buttcheeks was tightening you could tell no one wanted the smoke. Such a fraud of a team. The minute the Heat went on that run they folded. All of them

Hmmmmm. If Messi does not extend you guys really want to lose him for free? Bear in mind that he staying does not guarantee anything.

airmark:
You couldn't even remember what my point was.

Well, FIFA saw Boathand being a carry-along in that trophy as usual.

Abeg no vex. Remind me how many goals did Neymar and Mbappe score again?

4th Major Final and BoaTANK has won 3 beasting in two.

raumdeuter:
Or kneel like this
Its been long I saw someone do both in the same move

Allahu Akbar

John Terry defending vs Ayew

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/08/09/20/2B39A1F200000578-0-image-a-38_1439149827539.jpg

John Terryble is the first defender I've ever seen marking his own player inside box 18

You didn't post the one where RVP converted him to Islam

airmark:


Carry-along mofo, lifting the cup won by great performances by Neuer, Lewandowski, Thiago, Davies, Alaba, and other key players.

I can't see carry along on the trophy or the medal though

SmooshCHN:
Abeg, Warriors had Mark Jackson before Steve Kerr and there was a big difference. What was he doing before he became the head coach? Steve Nash deserves every chance he gets. He's a highly cerebral player and isn't new to coaching. Just let things be.

I listed like 5 black coaches who got jobs with little or no coaching experience. Nobody cried privilege when David Blatt was schemed out of the job and it was given to Ty Lue. When Magic won his first title and ran the coach out of town.

You have the Pacers, Bulls, Pelicans, Sixers still looking for coaches. What's the whining about?

How many black coaches can we confidently point out have acquitted themselves well enough in their respective jobs? How many were given opportunities that didn't disappoint? Is it Gentry? Is it Fisher? Kidd? Brown? Isiah Thomas? Which of them didn't fail

Abeg these people will not focus on real problems and would rather whine and lament

iskoki:
That Gasol situation is one of those mysteries we'll be discussing for a long time. Gasol ?
But just look at it from my perspective, 0.5 seconds left; you have to make a pass over a 7 footer to the whole other side ; OG has to connect with it and shoot a 3 pointer before the buzzer. The odds man, the odds.

This is Kyle Lowry a 14 year vet. I'm sure that's not new to him. In plays like that all you really hope for is the ability to get up a shot. If it's now wide open again then even better. If you're wide open and uncontested there is a 40% chance you hit the shot which is more than enough

airmark:
Go and ask Lewandowski who was crying for the Ballon d'or.

Boathand was not rated by the World football ruling body, FIFA, because he is a sh1tty defender. He is never a football legend unlike Terry and Ramos.

WTF is World ruling body. FIFA organizes major competitions once in 4 years and mostly use performances in competitions organized by UEFA and it's federation's anyway.

Keep crying my gee

mattfeuter:
In the ideal world, should Steve Nash get a call up for the job before Mark Jackson?

The only reason he was signed is because of his relationship with KD.

What was Mark Jackson's coaching experience when he was hired by Golden State?

What was Jason Kidd's experience? Derek Fisher nko?

Whatever reason he was signed it's a valid one. The NBA is a player's league so if your star man says he prefers this guy as a GM it's better you give him that guy

airmark:
FIFA never honoured him individually despite winning the world cup and Ucl, because he is a piece of sh1t.

WTF is honored him individually? Shey na tennis. UEFA have recognized him and his country (Germany) has also recognized him as the best footballer of the year

Anyways keep crying

airmark:
Terry and Ramos are legends, both made FIFA world cup all-stars and Fifa best 11 more than 4 times, because of their individual brilliance. Boathand has never made Fifa best 11 once, because he is a piece of sh1t, carry-along mofo.

AROmatic defender.

Ramos is a legend. Remove EPL hype job John Terryble from that your list.

Individual brilliance?

BoaTANK has made Euro 11, UEFA TOTY and won German Player of the year so cry some more

iskoki:
I say the Raptors try that move again and they'll miss it 9 out of 10. It's just one of those things. Something had to go right for them in this series.

Omo. If you give a capable shooter a wide open look it's more like 6 or 7 out of 10. Tatum and Brown were really dumb trying to double a plodding Gasol and abandoning Anunoby in the corner.

mattfeuter:
SAS has a point. Steve Nash has no coaching experience. There are other viable candidates for that position. I.e Mark Jackson, Ty lue etc but we know how things work in America.

Luke Walton did a terrible job with the lakers and he got a Job with the kings within minutes of him getting fired.

Black coaches aren’t usually afforded such luxury.

Coaching experience is overrated. What experience did Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich have? Kerr nko. The truth is if you're good you're good. Besides talent is 80% of the job if we're being honest.

What makes Ty Lue more viable? We saw how terrible he was when Bron left

Derek Fisher with no experience got a 5 year deal.

Mike Fizdale, Byron Scott, Monty Williams,Mike Brown, Paul Silas all got multiple opportunities despite not being exceptional at their first stops.

This is Steve Nash FFS not some random white P.E teacher.

Black coaches definitely get opportunities in the NBA. People need to stop this false narrative and stop blaming every damn thing on race
