Spicy P dropped 44 in 17-27 shooting and 5/10 from 3. This man looking like a candidate for MIP again. Scary how good he can be. Unfortunately looks like Lowry and Ibaka's injuries are pretty serious and they face the Lakers next. Smh
Fans will be alright. Kawhi's injury clearly is debilitating and has to be managed just like Embiid was. Why is it so hard for people to understand this? You guys want another Blake Griffin, Brandon Roy case or what
SmooshCHN: You really feel the need to lie out here about thing we saw numerous times over years? There's nothing wrong in him switching on defense to conserve energy of the offensive end but to lie that was playing defense and not switching off of KD, Kawhi and elite offensive player is pure lie.
Here's are some from the finals. I'm done with you guys.
steady986: 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?
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?
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
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
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: 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
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
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.
