Gobert was reported to have been careless however, I'm concerned for his career in the NBA. He's an emotional guy. I don't think he would want to continue especially with the reaction from fans and how people in the league are putting the blame on him.

This is complicated.

Very careless. Heard even his teammates affirmed. There is time for clowning and time to be serious

Sometimes there is need to face consequences for silly actions. Would have cost him nothing to show basic decorum. This is an illness that is highly communicable and has killed thousands. I saw a general lack of seriousness and laxity among quite a number of Americans. Some even went as far as calling it a hoax or common flu and were accusing people of scare mongering.

This year he's averaging 9.4 rebs, 2.4 blks and 1.5 steals. In 2017 he averaged 11.1 rebs, 2.6 blks and 1.5 steals. Last year he averaged 12.0 rebs, 1.6 steals and 2.4 blks. In 2014 he averaged 10.2 rebs, 1.5 steals and 2.9 blks. His defensive win shares for 2014, 2016 and 2017 were 4.2, 5.1 and 4.9 respectively. His defensive win shares for this season is 4.1. Notice he hasn't surpassed any of those categories this year. Or are you not a numbers guy again?

(I'm waiting for you to tell me that there are things that don't show in the box score )

In a team with Dwight, McGee and LeNomad you want him to average the exact same numbers he was averaging in New Orleans?? Are you sure your agbari is functioning at all?

Did KD and Steph's numbers remain the same or dropped when they ended up in the same team?

kendrick9:
Lol...
You really have no idea...
Liverpool needed two more goals after ATM pulled back one....
what gaffe exactly are you talking about?
Van djik was instructed by klopp to join the attack, they wanted to go long so they told van to stay upfront so he could win balls upfront...
Once VVD left the defense everywhere became porous cos Liverpool were chasing the game...

Olodo rabata. As at 2-1 Liverpool needed just one goal to advance. His usual back away from the attacker tactics because I don't want to risk getting dribbled is what he deployed.

Unfortunately not every attacker is agricultural and mediocre like Sissoko and he was duly punished

TheShopKeeper:
Rudy's teammate Donovan Mitchell tested positive for Coronavirus.


Players from teams the Jazz have played within the past 10 days were told to self-quarantine, sources told ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. Those teams are the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors.

Since playing Utah… The Cavaliers have faced the Celtics, Nuggets, Spurs and Bulls. The Knicks have faced the Thunder, Pistons and Wizards. The Celtics have faced the Thunder and Pacers. The Pistons have faced the Knicks.

Those Jazz opponents have faced other teams. And on and on. The NBA is connected.

This is reaching scary dimensions. The only positive here is it seems the younger you are the better your chances of survival.

I would be suprised borderline relieved if it's just these two but I can't shake the feeling there are more players affected

steady986:
All these okoto you're yarning. I want to know what has changed about AD's game that makes him an MVP candidate ahead of LeBron. He has always been a defensive monster, I don't know what you're talking about. 3 time all defensive team and 3 time blocks leader should tell you that. Don't give the excuse that he's playing better D and so deserves MVP

Shut up my friend. This is Anthony Davis's best defensive season and the first time he's openly been touted as a DPOY. This was not the case in NO

Unless you can show where I or anyone else predicted LeNomad and Davis will not deliver and be contenders you are making absolute noise.

They have complimented each other and it was automatic the minute LeNomad and AD formed a team that the Lakers were going to be a contender. Bron doesn't have to go full throttle every night because AD can share the load and vice versa.

I can credit Davis for the success of the Lakers and also opine that he underperformed in New Orleans. Both are not mutually exclusive

Godx:
Still at 2:1 - taking into account the keeper’s mistake, - Liverpool were in the game and had enough time to have forced the issue. They didn’t. Instead they folded like a house of cards. Where is the winners mentality you have been telling us about? So it was not just the keeper but the entire team.

How often do you see these kinds of errors in important games like that.

Just because Liverpool are comeback Kings doesn't mean they will comeback Everytime mate.

Adrian made the most unpardonable mistake of all. The difference between both sides was literally Jan Oblak

airmark:
You are a good signing for aparisports.

Just like Marlians don't use belts, aparians dont use their brain to analyse soccer.

Shut up. We All know who doesn't use his brain in this forum. No wonder the entire community of fans were schooling your empty skull the other day.
Erudite VC of the CitadeLLL

Anyway swallow your L and stop buzzing like Ekpan fly for my ears

benji93:
Carrying and Co-carrying are two different things. . Propelling a team to a winning record while playing alongside another superstar is not carrying. Co-carrying doesn't have to be 50/50. We can still discuss the value of each co-carrier. Why are you making it seem as if we criticised ADs game. None of us argued against his lack of talent or wherewithal. Our argument is he couldn't carry that team, and that is a fact. What we know now is that AD can co-carry, with another superstar, but the argument about his inability to carry NOP still holds

Don't mind these wind vane people. Let them be feigning ignorance of simple English

birdman:
The sad thing is we had 2 months to put measures in place. And somehow waited until it got out of hand. Yankee is learning a hard lesson Nigerians already know. No matter how many brilliant citizens you have, bad leadership will render it useless.

Lmaooooooo shebi na una open eye vote for Trump

steady986:
But AD had similar numbers with the Pels, why didn't you cut him some slack? He now plays with the Lakers with such numbers and he's suddenly being praised.

This comment especially was made by you in December, 2 months into the season

Was he a surefire DPOY candidate like now? He was always a good defender but never consistently dominated like he should have considering his size. Can only point to two seasons of elite defense. One of the reasons the Pelicans always struggled was because they couldn't stop anybody. A guy like AD was supposed to set the tone, he didn't always do so

What is even your argument? What was supposed to be the record of a team with Anthony Davis and LeBron? If Chris Paul and Harden could win 65+ games their first season then I don't know why you're gleefully celebrating what is par for the course.

Put AD with Harden, Steph Curry the outcome will be similar so I don't get your argument

airmark:
A40 will repeat whatever his boss, raumdeuter voices out, no matter how senseless it is. That's how Dayo wired him.

You have received enough battering of L's for one night. Go and lick your wounds in one corner

From Morata to VVD to Hummels. Efulefu

kendrick9:
disaster class?
dude you're a clown...
Was it can djik that made Adrian to f***k up after they were in control of the game?

Will you kip chut. After the deed was done Liverpool could have survived with one more goal, VVD's gaffe compounded the problem you doofus!

Godx:
Football is a game of mistakes but by no means is it solely Adrian'a fault.
Liverpool didn't finish their chances and Oblak had a monstrous performance. You can't attribute the defeat to one player when you have Sadio Mane attempting stupid bicycle kicks, Firmino performing like crap and Chamberlain shooting for no reasons.

Not all mistakes are created equal. This was an egregious Kariusesque mistake that you don't game plan from and the other team does not realistically hope to get.

Liverpool missed chances but as at when the error was made Liverpool were advancing to the next round. You don't know how deflating it can be for your goalkeeper to ruin the hard work of everyone else.

Kepa has not made half an error like that in a high stakes game and yet you people are always on his throat

steady986:
So why did you bash him for not leading the Pels to success only for you to now praise him for the Lakers' success this year?

Stop asking me jejune questions. A player of AD's caliber should have led the Pelicans to more playoff appearances. That one is sacrosanct

I'm praising him for the Lakers because every single metric points to him being equally responsible for their success. He has sufficient help in another top 5 player in the league(some say he's the best)

Is Giannis playing with anyone as good as AD or Bron?

Again I'm asking you. Where is the contradiction? Abi what did you think you proved by quoting my posts

A40:
Hummels calamity class. VVD disasterclass. Morata goal and assist.

We also bless God. No Lovren to blame

steady986:
We know how to dig up archives too, Lol. You didn't have to be so selective

Are you serious at all? How does this quote not highlight what my opinion about AD has always been? And the fact that I expected him to do better at New Orleans. If I didn't rate him highly why foist such expectations on his shoulder?

Where is the contradiction?

Roland17:
Haha.. I think we just have to be careful so we don’t stigmatize R. Gobert or anyone for that matter that contracts it.

The Gobert himself needs to be slapped by every reporter for behaving that irresponsibly. You made a poorly timed joke about a disease only for you to be a carrier and now endangering others. What a dosser

Roland17:
The player that tested positive is Rudy Gobert. A troubling situation.

And the clown was touching mics and mocking just the other day. Uggggh

Tom Hanks too. And his wife

Damn man. What kind of year is this??

Roland17:
It is shocking/ interesting to read, considering I bantered you, Chic2pimp and A40 about AD for almost a week. Like I said last week, history and the record books will not only be kind but will revere AD on his first regular season with the Lakers especially when you consider he is playing alongside LeBum.

A40:
That would be an indictment on AD. You still don't get it

Bear in mind LeNomad traded the entire squad just to get AD. They were literally a lottery team last year without AD

A40:
When has AD not gotten respect though. Going into the season when ESPN made their list he was #5 if I recall correctly. And I also recall Stephen A picking the Lakers to win it all largely because of AD and the matchup problems he would pose to the Clippers.

I think the consensus was he kinda underperformed with the Pelicans, their performance thus far this season shows it might not entirely have been AD's fault. Whether it's the coaching or something there is a problem there

A40 is not a wind vane like most of these fanboys. I have always held him to a Higher standard that is why I opined that he underperformed with the Pelicans.

Ibime:
Look at this bro. Italian Doctors say Italy should stop treating the elderly due to ICU pressures.

I think the younger you are the higher your chances of survival. Most of the fatalities I've seen are people 55 years and above

raumdeuter:
Airmark how will you carry all these Ls
Yesterday Leipzig destroyed the EPL side home and away Today Atletico destroyed EPL leader home and away PSG moved on to the next stage with Neymar scoring home and away

Hummels calamity class. VVD disasterclass. Morata goal and assist.

Godx:
Cc A40

What happened to your greatest team.

Adrian the Iberian Karius happened.

raumdeuter:
Morataaaaaaaaaa

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL to airmark and the citadel

Shame to diggz

Lmaooooooooooo Morata goal and assist. This is a monstrous L

DontBullshitMe:
Why the fuçk will away goal count during extra time!? Was Liverpool awarded extra 30 mins in Madrid.

A very dumb and inappropriate rule from UEFA!

That's why you score away to avoid stories that touch

Lana1:
Neymar scoring important home & away goals and helps PSG get to their first QF in years.
Another L for the Citadel!

CitadeLL

Ibime:
Pep no want lose league title! He say make dem cancel the season.

I go laugh if Liverpool still no collect title after 30 year wait.

On a real though, I can't see EPL going more than 3 more weeks.

Lmaoooo that would be too shameless. If I'm Liverpool i would sue the league to bankruptcy. Hand Liverpool their title

raumdeuter:
No be your Hummels dey there

Mumu Hummels went to mark ategun as usual. I couldn't believe our luck when Dortmund came to buy him back for a little over the price they sold him to us

Calamity Hummels at work as usual

Starboy Neymar. This is not Hidden Shakushaku that vanishes in CL knockout stage

sleekdot:
Everytime the ball goes to Aurier I think he makes a mistake. In his box he will foul, I think he is only good close to opposition box

The second goal was just comical. Helped the winger with a flick on literally and of course his poor spatial awareness meant he had no shot at recovery
