One Red bull club beat your team in preaseason few years back, nobody bantered.

Did I hold your hand from not bantering?

steady986:
Boy o boy. Now I'm the one thinking you're deliberately obtuse. What you clearly stated was that LeBron was below 40% from beyond 3ft. Or am I blind. If you understand English what that means is that starting from 3ft LeBron is below 40%.

You are blind. Your eyes are merely open but you really can't see shyte.

So if I say LeNomad is below 40 beyond the 3ft line. How does telling me he is 42% from 3-10ft negate my argument? Does the range on a basketball court stop at 10ft??

This guy is definitely crazy.

airmark:

So if you lose to Kakamega Homeboyz of Kenya we shouldn't banter because it's preseason?

steady986:
32 is a good age to still be at the top of your game. And are you suggesting GS will swiftly switch from a 3 ball team to a one-man marauding show?

Did you watch Milwaukee this year at all??

steady986:
I was only trying to correct your statement so you don't give us wrong information like you always do. He's below 40% above 10ft and not 3ft.

And as you can clearly see the man is adjusting his game gradually preparing for father time. He shot over 40% in the last 3 seasons from 10-16ft and almost 45% from 16ft to 3pt line. Whichever way the game changes you know he'll give it to you.

Sometimes you make me strongly question your ability to read

A40:
Boy did I hate the Spurs in the early 00's especially Duncan and how annoyingly efficient he was. That bank shot was so money and this guy just found a way to raise his game in the playoffs. Every time

Giannis does not need a 3 pt shot IMO. Just a reliable jumper whether from 8-12ft that he can hit even at a 50 percent clip. LeNomad for example is less than 40% from the floor anywhere outside 3ft. Career. Let that sink in

I don't like when someone is being deliberately obtuse. Why bring 3-10ft nonsense to defend a non existent point. Does the distance end at 10ft? If you add all the 3 segments combined does it disprove my argument? Smh

steady986:
Where does LeBron's 2017 and 2018 run fall in your list? Just curious

Create your own list and put LeNomad there. You can put him 1-10. E no consign me

chic2pimp:
Yup the Dream was Amazing!...Where do you rank Flash's 06 run?

Yeah that was another underrated run. Considering it was just his 3rd season in the league. Probably top 10. He got a little better production from his support cast compared to Hakeem who led his team all 5 statistical categories and then Jordan who led in all 5 from the 2nd series and became the only player to lead a team to a title with only two double digit scorers (him and Pippen)

It's why when someone says Jordan's teams were stacked I legit look at them like they are insane

airmark:
So, na postseason be this?

Na wa oh. You lose to Kawasaki FC and you don't expect your team to be bantered? Sensitive much

airmark:
You guys shouldn't think we don't know that your team will be facing Real madrid later today.

Wetin concern me with preseason?

chic2pimp:
His 2003 Playoff run and Hakeem's run are my two personal Favourites. With Dirk being third.

Hakeem's run would be #1 for me just in sheer degree of the load he carried. Second will be Jordan in 97. Duncan 3rd

steady986:
The difference is Giannis was the focal point of the attack. And no one said he can't fit with GS. The question is can he be an MVP candidate?

You do know Steph will be 32 and hitting the back end of his prime from next season while Giannis isn't 25 yet right?

steady986:
No sir. He is almost 42% from 3-10ft

Lmaooooo your MCM is a 3ft merchant my friend. Abi did my post imply I was stopping at 10ft? Why didn't you dig into the other ranges? 10-16 and 16-23?

Btw your MCM is 38% from 3-10ft in the postseason

Ocon:
All of a sudden, AD doesn't have an Alpha mentality cos he choose to play with LeBron

But these same set of people will do anything to justify KD's move to the GSW

Leeemaaaoooo

I don't think anyone has claimed KD had Alpha mentality. Not having Alpha mentality is not a crime last I checked and there have been lots of greats in team Sports who don't have it. AD does not have an Alpha mentality. Call police

Nobody said KD's move to GSW was the most competitive move to make but LeNomad fans after 2010 and the Heatles would be hypocritical to be ok with that move and criticise this one. They both took shortcuts. Simple

Khanben:
Speaking as a Spurs fan, Tim Duncan during the early 00's was a stone cold killer, boring but a killer. His ability to just get a bucket or a stop whenever his team needed it was just astonishing.

His 2003 run in my eyes was one of the greatest individual playoff runs in post season history. Definitely top 5 considering how atrocious his teammates shot the ball the entire postseason

steady986:
Lol. Ain't this a hater?

I'm a hater because I gave valid basketball related reasons why I think Giannis is better? You well so?

Ocon:
Lol ... This is no more ordinary. This is a high level of hatred...
All these toxicity for one player
We go dey alright

Abeg abeg abeg. No Bronsexual should come here to lecture me on toxicity when they are the S.I unit of toxic.

It's Bronsexuals that make mock up images of Steph Curry's wife and other rival players. Make crude jokes about another man's wife. It is Bronsexuals that mostly labeled KD a snake.

We had a Bronsexual here who alluded to the GOAT being culpable for his own father's murder. So please my guy save your toxic yarns for Chernobyl

weedtaker:
I'm not confident going in to the season with De gea as No.1

Best keeper in the world?? Naah Apostle must hear this

Khanben:
I was just thinking about the Tim Duncan's bank shot and how unstoppable he was whenever he used it. Giannis will be better served just mastering that from 12ft-18ft range. Then over time he can extend his range to the 3pt line.
Giannis said he is working on a surprise for next season, can't wait to see what he adds to his game

Boy did I hate the Spurs in the early 00's especially Duncan and how annoyingly efficient he was. That bank shot was so money and this guy just found a way to raise his game in the playoffs. Every time

Giannis does not need a 3 pt shot IMO. Just a reliable jumper whether from 8-12ft that he can hit even at a 50 percent clip. LeNomad for example is less than 40% from the floor anywhere outside 3ft. Career. Let that sink in

adisaaowala:
Anything to mask messi's failures bruh

Anything!!!

The struggle is really real. So Ronaldo is Bounedjah or what?

Swissh:
Barca fans are Mad .

Lmaooooo Mandem are really comparing AFCON with Madagascar, Benin Republic, Nigeria to Champions League and Euros.

SmooshCHN:
Draymond is another example of a terrible shooter on the Warriors and he compliments so well. Giannis will fit in nice. They are a group of professional athletes with an experienced coach. They are not playing pick up basketball so they know what to do if Giannis shows up.
Kayjay69, don't waste your precious time responding to this.

Lmaooooo Milwaukee were essentially a poor man's Golden State last season. I don't know how anyone with working eyes would think Giannis would not fit in with Golden State

Coutinho14:
Quick question AD or Giannis?

Previously I'd take AD. Presently I roll with Giannis. Let's gloss over the fact that AD lacks that alpha dog mentality and chose to be LeNomad's sidekick for a crucial stretch of his prime.

Giannis is the better passer and better defender. Plus he's a post move or two away from being the next Karl Malone or Tim Duncan

Roland17:
Dayo, we are already witnessing these untrue rhetorics and narrative about Sane at City. Whenever Sane plays and they lose, he suffers the brunt of the blame. He gets substituted earlier than other players who are playing worse. Sane pretty much has to score or assist in every game to play 90 minutes and while you may argue that his job, it is a shorter leash in comparison to other players. Pep already has projected the wrong image about Sane and the German media has stayed quiet about it for too long. If Sane mentions he wants to leave we know he is going to get a backlash, we already saw this na!! He will be called all sorts of names by the British media which is corrupt by the way. This is just revisionist if you ask me.

Sane has been spectacular since his return to the National team and I am worried if he does not leave England now he may suffer the same fate he suffered last year. The Bayern team has not enjoyed a lot of love from the German media recently, particularly because of their display in the Champion League so that is nothing new. With Niko still in charge, I think Sane and the other young guys will catch a break from the blame game. Niko is not popular with the fans as a coach and that can deflect some of the blames. Like A40 wrote, Sane is supposed to be playing regular football at his age.

Sane is not serious. If he wants to come to Bayern he knows the moves to be pulling by now

[quote author=TLona1 post=80430453][/quote]Liverpool missed chances in the first leg. It is humanly impossible to play a football match and not miss chances. Your defense had a simple job to not concede more than the advantage your attackers delivered in the first leg. They failed!!

Roland17:
Here is the problem. If he kicks, makes any statement or even throws a tantrum, he will be labeled by the bald bipolar and the British media as unserious, immature and subsequently benched irrespective of performance. We saw a lot of these last season and it was upsetting for me. If he stays quiet as he has been thus far and allow things play out, he would be said to be too comfortable and showing unwillingness to leave. Remember 2 seasons ago and parts of last season when he expressed frustration for the lack of game time which ultimately cost him a place in Russia? He suffered a huge backlash from the bald bipolar and his fans. Bayern need to use the German media ruffle the feathers of the bald bipolar and City, we have seen Bayern do that several times. I understand Bayern have a good relationship with Baldy but everyone knows Sane needs to return to Germany and play for Bayern.

I think his career is or would be at a crossroads if he doesn't take that bold step this season. Sane should be starting week in week out at this stage of his career or his career will stall. He's won everything to be won in England at 23.

He should flip the bird at Pep and force his way out. In England he will just be one more unruly young player anyway and will never truly be the spotlight of attention whether for good or bad

Let him come home and try to get to the next level as the spearhead of the new school Bayern Munich while also securing his International future. Look at Serge Gnabry already sure of starting shirt for Die NationalMannschaft in less than a full season at Bayern

TLona1:
If you watched the match, you would have seen that after the 4th goal, Liverpool fell back and began to defend. This was the time we needed a striker to score when Messi was doing the dirty job in the midfield. Suarez was playing like a pregnant woman, making Van Dijk look like a god.


Barca's main problem that night was not having a good striker although the defence was also part of it.

Hahahaha. Why wouldn't they defend after getting the job done? They needed 3 to get to extra time and they got 4. What else was there to do?

If the match finished goalless Barca would have qualified. No team has come back from a 3-0 deficit in the semis.

Your defense didn't do its job. They were even lucky to escape with a clean sheet. Why are you ignoring this?

TLona1:
Only a goal would have made Barca qualify that night and if that had happened, Barca would have beaten Tottenham in the final and you won't be here to talk about Barca's defence.

Just one goal would have changed the whole story.

You lost a 3 goal lead in regulation!! If you had managed to hold them to 3 the game would have entered extra time. But your defense was so poverty they overturned the deficit and added jara in less than 90mins. The game was tied before the half hour mark FFS

If you had scored at Anfield by God you would still lose 5-1

Roland17:
@Raumdeuter & A40

Wetin be una plan for Sane? Can Bayern be clear and make haste because Euro 2020 is by the corner and I don't want any stories that touch the heart with my boy Sane. I don't trust the bald demon at City with his bipolar usage of Sane. Sane needs consistency and a trusting situation for him to continue his growth and you both know how I feel about how the bald demon is managing him. With the retirement of Robben and Ribery, I believe Sane can fight Coman and Gnabry for a spot in the team.

First things first Sane has to show willingness to leave City. He is still trying to play it safe and I don't know why. Not that this our present coach inspires confidence either so that is not helping matters

afrodoc2:
It’s just preseason. If Bakayoko can step up in midfield with Willian supplying the balls from the wing and Giroud being his clinical self Chelsea can challenge for the title this season.

Frank Lampopo is on the wheel.

Kawasaki on a Kentro Level

Afobear:
Fvcking club have made me loose my ACCA already

You dey bet on top preseason again? Expert no dey but I'd like to assume you went for the overs and unders and not outright winner

TLona1:
It's not the defense but the mentality, prior to that awful night against Liverpool, they've been keeping series of clean sheets.

Just a goal that night would have made Barca go through. If we had had a sharp and lethal striker like Griezman I'm pretty sure things wouldn't have gone that way.

How will a team's top striker just have 2 goals in 3 years in UCL? Will that kind of team go far?

I think you're getting carried away by your result in the first leg where Salah connived with Barcelona to lose 3-0, perhaps if he had converted his chances you would be likelier to beam light on where the real problems are.

I agree Suarez had not been up to scratch but I don't know how much more improvement Griezmann would make looking at his playing style and the likelihood of it meshing at Barca especially coming from a team like Atleti

There is no striker you can buy that can compensate for that mediocre defense and a fading Busquets at DM

nihilistjnr:
Alba is playing the same role as Marcelo. If you play that aggresively, you will leave space behind.

The difference is that Alba has a lot of pace to cover.

Theres a reason van Dijk is being tipped for Balon Dor. When Robertson and Trent Beckham run forward, Dijk is tbe guy that holds it all together.

Alba has been one of the best players not just in barca but in spain for the last 2-3 years bros.

Alba and Marcelo are not in the same tax bracket bruh. Marcelo is a one man MOPOL. Don't compare Alba to him. At all

Marcelo that plays 3 and 11? Taaaa

Van Dijk just dey use charisma ko wa lo be je. Allison broke the record of saves in a CL Final. If Van Dijk did such a good job why is Allison making that many saves?? Allison played a bigger role in Liverpool's success than Van Dijk. I daresay that Robertson and Trent's contributions have been massively underrated.

Don't believe the hype like Public Enemy warned 30 years ago. Still valid
