KarnThornheart:You lot swear LeNomad is the best player in the league but he's not won a regular season MVP since 2014. Using your logic his era ended in 2014 For context, between 2017 and 2019 James Harden could easily have been a 3 time MVP. This does not mean he holds a candle to Kobe. |
KarnThornheart:How does a player that went to 7 NBA Finals and was a top 5 playoff performer from 2000 to 2010. How can you claim said player didn't have an era? |
Khanben:Lmaooo cos he was a Homer not because he possessed any elite knowledge. He's a Chiefs fan! Nobody who knows the NFL didn't know Mahomes was going to be a bonafide stud. He was the second QB picked in his draft and even Alex Smith knew he was just marking time. Go and look up his duels with Baker Mayfield in their college days. Mahomes was an open secret My major problem with Nick Wright is his bias for players and teams always leads to him dropping asinine takes ad nauseum. There is no middle line with him. Besides any mugu can visit any stats collation resource and spew any agenda they like. For an analyst to open mouth and say Kobe never had an era. That should tell you he is a permanent joke |
Nick Wright is that guy that binge watched Grey's Anatomy and suddenly thinks he is a medical consultant |
KarnThornheart:You mean the same clown that called Nikola Jokic a pretend superstar. He knows zilch! Shannon Sharpe is an unrepentant LeNomad stan as well but he's one of my favorite analysts. His takes are mostly objective and is not a wannabe stat nerd like Nick Wright who would actively argue with actual experts in their field of expertise because he is privy to a few numbers |
steady986:What is this one even saying??
|
Roland17:Lol I don't know what has to happen for the Lakers to realize that players are no longer falling over themselves to play for the Lakers. The idea that they are this dream Free Agent destination is a strong form of delusion. LeNomad joining them kinda reinforced this delusion and in a way I kinda feel bad for LeNomad, he must be low-key regretting why he didn't just go to the Clippers with Steve Ballmer and his bottomless pockets |
Hardetayour:I'm just saying that for all their tough talking I don't believe that deep down in their heart of hearts they believe they can beat the Warriors without something extraordinary going in their favor especially without home court. I personally think not winning Game 5 could bite them in the behind. The pressure is on Houston now. |
KarnThornheart:What I've said all along |
So KD officially out for the series at the same point CP3 was last year. The basketball gods do have a great sense of humor, considering the beneficiaries then are the victims now For all the Rockets braggadocio I'm pretty sure this injury or some kind of break more than anything else was what they were hoping for |
KarnThornheart:How?? I just came across a hilarious article that chronicles his love for falling and even posited a plausible explanation for it echoing what the writer wrote. I have nothing against Embiid, he's a bit of a loudmouth who talks a good one and fluctuates from annoying to a bit of a nuisance but his antics make him very easy to target. Look at what he did in the Nets series, then Game 3 vs the Raptors when he was celebrating every single field goal he made only for Games 4 and 5 for him to look like a White Walker. |
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26655483/why-world-does-joel-embiid-fall-much?device=featurephone Lool this makes a boatload of sense now that you think about it. I don't recall a big man ever making it such a habit of taking falls. He will go down in history as the most floppy big man of all time but appaz a lot of it is deliberate cos of the knees The block on him by the Greek Freak where he almost got paralyzed and then the game where he nearly took off Regina King's Head stands out for me |
darkelf:Ahh. I for fear |
birdman:Like Shaq always said Phil Jackson used to tell him "Beware of the switch, cos when you turn it on it might not work" the truth is the Celtics showed us who they are all season long and we refused to believe them I think Kyrie must shoulder majority of the blame. He wanted to be the #1 guy, the leader and he failed woefully. He was 6/21 last night and has arguably been worse than Westbrick. He didn't make shots, he didn't get his teammates involved, just kept jacking shot after ill-advised shot! I won't hold Kyrie responsible for the terrible play of Tatum and Hayward though but since the competition and quality of teams in the East have improved it would have been a bit naïve to believe the Celtics without Kyrie would have made the Finals this year. This is however not a case of Kyrie playing well and the role players holding him down. He shot 25/83 in the series!! 4 guys on Milwaukee shot better than that from 3pt range |
KarnThornheart:Kyrie does not strike me as someone that cares about public opinion KarnThornheart:But he went down as early as January, Jokic and the Nuggets were down 2 of their starters. And they still finished with the second seed Boogie put up numbers but it could be argued New Orleans played better after he got hurt |
Kyrie Irving is a walking brick machine! He is running to LeNomad's arms for sure because he clearly isn't about this leading a team life |
darkelf:Oga calm down and stop reading literal meanings to banter |
Celtics can't buy a bucket. Lol Can't stop replaying that Kawhi facial on Embiid. Jeeeeez! He literally nutted on Embiid's face man. |
KarnThornheart:I'd take Jokic over any Center in the league right now. As far as this season is concerned. I think it tops anything Boogie has done so far |
Khanben:People are always hung up on athleticism. Power, muscle. Dem forget say ogbon ju agbara lo. This is why I ranked Jokic higher than Embiid as the league's best Center and niggas were arguing with me on other platforms |
raumdeuter:I don't mind a 4-4-2 or a 4-4-1-1. Thiago and Goretzka can form the midfield pivot and Werner play just behind Lewandowski. We need to start thinking of life after Lewandowski eventually as well and if Werner is available at a reasonable price it would be silly not to make an attempt to land him I don't know if Uli is sold on sacking Kovac and it seems he holds a slightly higher cache on decisions than Kalle |
Roland17:Naah I think Bishop played with the Lightning but is from St Louis. He plays for the Stars right now you mean Bruins have the best blend of youth and experience. Their guys Bergeron, Marchand and Krejci are proven playoff performers and their goalie Tuuka Rask has been the best in these playoffs. I wouldn't rule out the Hurricanes pulling an upset anyway |
raumdeuter:Hahahaha Ibime is disqualified to troll like Caster Semenya |
Ibime:
|
Don't want to hear anything about Embiid better than the Joker. Yes I know Kanter is not Marc Gasol but Jokic still better @Roland17 I told you watch out for the Bruins and the Blues in the NHL playoffs. They are both in the Conference Finals |
Lana1:Messi Aigbe |
Unlimited22:O ya mi lenu oh |
Greatihex:Like the one he scored against Chelsea and Iceland right? If they give Messi penalty fear no go gree make e play am |
Greatihex:But he scored the penalty. No? |

afrodoc2:Swear down. I have not seen anything like tonight all my years of watching football. |
