Like 4 months was not enough for him to recoup. And they had to choose the toughest games for him to sit out.

Wetin concern you? Why don't you want Kawhi fresh for the postseason? Sitting Kawhi helped the Raptors to a title. Are you scared this would be the outcome if the Clippers followed suit? Is this why you are so pressed?

Stop playing possum my guy

iamJ:
raptors were lucky
lets be honest here
espn, tnt all these broadcasters pay good money to show viewers these stars

They made their luck
Would they rather see Kawhi miss 19 odd games or miss a year and half?

iamJ:
kwahi was gifted that ring thanks to injuries that affected Golden states


Let's not lie to ourselves, if he met a fit Golden states team, he wouldn't have stood a chance

You can only beat what is put in front of you.

2017 WCF Kawhi and the Spurs were running Golden State out of the gym Game 1 before Zaza Pachulia happened. Who knows what would have been the outcome if Kawhi was healthy? You can only beat what is in front of you

iamJ:
cause what's the use, load management is making them lose games

If they were wining we will understand

I'm sure they knew the cost of that. However it would not be an issue once PG returns. They are trading regular season W's for a fresh Kawhi come Postseason. It worked spectacularly for the Raptors with one of the best postseason individual performances

Why are you people crying more than the bereaved? I don't hear Clippers management complaining

Some players are more injury prone than others and if that's how he plans to extend his ability to compete come playoffs then leave him to his devices. Why are y'all so paranoid?

larride:
This is funny.

Even Hazard no go try drag penalty duties from Ramos.

Ramos go sound am slap. Iyen o gbadun

Swissh:
The hazard Fanboys on full outrage

I told them that unless Hazard has awoof penalty taking responsibilities he will never sniff 20 goals they were doing egun ori

Ibime:
The way Zidane dey look Hazard with vexation for touchline. It's like Zidane bet his reputation and Madrid hard earned cash on Hazard, and Hazard decided to rubbish him.

Between him and Thomas Lemar I wonder who will wind up the biggest transfer bust in La Liga history. I thought Lemar had it wrapped up but be like Hazard is giving him a run for money

Even Neverkusen won.

steady986:
So if they asked you which of Spurs and Hawks are more likely to make the playoffs, you'd pick the Hawks?

Neither team are a threat and are both pushing for a 7th or 8th seed at best

steady986:
Like Spurs at home and the Jazz abi

Lmaoooo you didn't see Atlanta Hawks without John Collins beating the Spurs? The Jazz without Bogdanovic. You have two of the top 5 players in the league you shouldn't be here dancing zanku when you beat the Grizzlies, Hornets or Bulls

I like that Lakers fan have found their voices sha. Remember though that thus far you guys are still beating the teams you are supposed to beat.

steady986:
I'm glad to see that we're beginning to change your mind a bit. But you're not there yet, I want you to be a total convert. Maybe we have to beat the Clippers for that to happen. And I promise they'll suffer at least two defeats in the hands of the Lakers this regular season, and at least one would be a blowout.

You're a very funny guy. Kawhi dey learn work where you dey walahi

As if this was not me when the team was formed. This idea that the Lakers are any kind of underdog we must strongly correct

A40:
No no all jokes aside. If you're talking chemistry issues perhaps but from a talent standpoint the Lakers have the best roster in the league by a distance.
If I knew this would be the outcome of players they would land I wouldn't troll them for not getting Kawhi

I repeat Boogie Cousins and Kyle Kuzma are their third best players. Boogie Cousins has the 5th highest scoring average among active players. He's still only 28.

It will be a crying disgrace and a huge stain on LeNomad's legacy if this team doesn't win it all

SmooshCHN:
I agreed with this already even as a Steph fan. The boy is legit. I don't get the "it's too early" excuse. His only problem is his efficiency and shot choices like he did in the first quarter in yesterday's game but this is normal for a rookie and he adjusted. That boy is good.

It's never too early to project. That's what is intended. You see a player's skillset and suggest that this player can reach this ceiling if he keeps improving. Even at this point his efficiency is the only glaring flaw I can see. As for passing and playmaking he is not that far from Steph

I don't know how you watch Trae Young and still question the Steph ceiling comparison. I really don't. Even me I was a doubter before but I've been convinced

Roland17:
Jackson had to utilize his biggest strengths with are his feet and elusiveness to cement his place as the starting QB for the Ravens last season. I think this was the right thing to do considering it was his first season as the starting QB, it would have been risky to restrict him to being pocket QB. Credit to J. Harbaugh for recognizing that and allowing the kid play to his strength during his first season, this helped build the confidence to strengthen other aspects of his game.

You already know how I feel about my GOAT but you are right, outside of Christian McCaffery who has 13 touchdowns, I don’t think anyone comes close to Wilson. It’s between Wilson and McCaffery for me with Wilson number one thus far.

I am in agreement with that. He did the needful but got badly exposed when they faced the Chargers in the playoffs. Where he put up arguably the worst QB performance ever.

He has clearly improved on his throwing which is a must especially in games where he would have to come from behind. Fortunately for him he also plays on a team with a strong defense.

Lool goat with just one Superbowl appearance. Una too dey overhype that guy abeg. Wilson, McCaffrey in that order

While I suspected this Lakers team would be deep I must say I am surprised at just how deep they are. They went on a 16-0 run with LeNomad on the bench. Even if they get found out by the Clippers it's pretty clear they will likely beat up a lot of less loaded teams to get a very high seed regardless

TalonVonner:
I know people are praying the NBA get lebron next. LOL They wouldn't dare!

LeNomad is the cash cow I'm sure he has Diplo immunity

TalonVonner:
PEDs have always been present in the NBA. I'm guessing the younger dudes arent very good at masking and cycling or that NBA testing is becoming more stringent and if thats the case, expect some high profile scalps soon.

Ayton was caught trying to mask the PEDs he had presumably already used. I get the OG vets but these young pups are too young for this shyte. A second strike is 55 games and a third will see them wind up like Tyreke Evans

raumdeuter:
point of correction

Hakimi has 4 CL goals this season the same number of CL goals from open play that Hidden Hazard has his entire CL career

Neverkusen is hopeless, they will likely lose again

See ten Hag and the Ajax boys

Chai. So it's even 4? Was counting the goal vs Slavia Prague and the brace tonight.

Hidden defenders should be hiding their face. This record is abominable

3 German teams in the next round is much better than I anticipated so Neverkusen can continue Neverkusening

I've seen past Ten Hag interviews and he has always expressed interest in coming over and stepping up from the youth to the main team. I'm willing to wait till summer. Watching Ajax and how he's able to make them play it's a complete no-brainer

Good to see both Bundesliga teams picking up W's. Aside the hopeless case Neverkusen the others have very strong chances of qualifying.

My boy Götze providing 2 assists and Hakimi with 3 goals this season, the Moroccan Marcelo. Meanwhile a certain Shakushaku dancer in Madrid has 4 goals from open play in 7 seasons of CL soccer

John Collins suspended 25 games. What's up with these young cats and PEDs

Baby you wan see my wire. Oya send your AZA

Greatihex:
I have known this for long about him, but raumdeuter will not agree

He even stamped on Mané's foot which was the annoying part for me. All of the fouls on Mané' there has been contact

TalonVonner:
Last card i remember this stacked is ufc 217. UFC 245 is also stacked AF as long as everyone makes it to the octagon. Dana trying hard to appease those shareholders towards the end of the year.

They usually save their best for last. This is why Bones was so pissed that he has nobody to fight. Though I think UFC 244 had the more fire card. Speaking of UFC 245 I'd be really upset if Kamaru does not reconstruct Covington's face. Don't want no decisions, he needs to knock him the f**k out

TalonVonner:
Its also one of the strangest cards i've ever watched, bar the main event almost every fight lived up to the hype. None of these fights went the way i or most people expected. Seems its not just dana whose set for a red panty night, the bookies are as well, I knew there was a chance corey would win but i thought hed take him to the ground. I didnt think for one second corey stood a chance striking with him but i guess i was wrong. Jones was right, everyone will look spectacular fighting bums. Maybe he didnt take corey seriously or maybe he was just overrated. You're absolutely right, LHW is a barren land but until stipe and DC fight i think he has one more fight at LHW, corey and reyes should fight and jones should get the winner.

Weird flex that you call the fight a fight for the 'Baddest Mofo' title and stop the fight for that. Not that I think any of them deserves it anyway after racking up so many L'S

Johnny Walker had literally fought nobody. Didn't buy the hype at all.

LHW is a wasteland but like you suggested Corey and Reyes should go at it so we see who at least stands some type of shot against Jones

TalonVonner:
Darren was absolutely cerebral in the way he fought, was clever and efficient. Surprised me, i thought he was going to get KOd TBH. Looked really good. Good to see bigger names like wonder boy and Lee (that KO though) bouncing back with wins as well.

BTW, about Till... I really like this guy, just imagining him saying this in that scouse accent LOL

Till looks more of a natural at middleweight. Hope he stays there. I have always wondered why these guys go through that trouble cutting weight, robbing themselves of power and staying in the wrong weight class

Though Portland are soft as hell but at least it's good they are competing. This is the second straight game

Maybe Kerr is sending a message to the vets like Green and co. Even if you don't make the playoffs show effort and don't cheat the fans that are paying so much to come and watch.

Roland17:
The same narrative/ argument they make about most black QB in college. Infact, some GM’s advised the kid to switch to a receiver before the draft because he did not have a future as a QB in the NFL. Winning the Heisman trophy did not even matter to those GM’s.
I am glad he stuck to his guns and is now reaping the rewards. His performance yesterday, particularly throwing the ball shut the narrative that he is only good as a runner and not a thrower. I just hope he stays humble because things change very fast in the NFL.

They tried to convert him to an RB. Credit to him because he really worked on his arm strength and ability to progress through his reads. Last season he couldn't throw 10 yards past the line of scrimmage but at least now he's a capable passer if not an excellent one.

He's like Vick and RG3 on steroids and the one edge he has over Cam Newton is his elusiveness, he almost never gets hit, hopefully that helps him stay healthy

With this narrative thing you can see the media just last week trying to drum up MVP noise for Rodgers and wanting people to forget Russell Wilson. I know you're a Pack fan but I believe you're not as biased to even remotely suggest Rodgers has played as well as Russ

chic2pimp:
Mad Respect Bro. I keep telling my mates Ciara hit the Jackpot when She Met Him. He is such a massive upgrade when compared to all of Her previous exes.

How dare you slander our toxic king and president Future like that?

birdman:
put the weed down bro. or get another supplier

i have set my expectations verrry low this year. it is impossible for me to be disappointed

A very smart decision. Early days yet though they might prove me wrong

larride:
He’s learning new dance step first. Wait till he perfect his moves.

I no fit stop to dey laugh. Hazard fanboys made so much mouth. 1 goal 2 assists pere

BlueAngel444:
Thomas Lemar?? what happened to their new wonder kid, the one bought to replace greizmann

Injured. Has already equalled Lemar's total goals
