Gasol isn't even interested in scoring again.
If he was looking for his shot this would be closer.

I really don't know what the hell happened to Gasol the last few years at Memphis. I doubt Valanciunas would have been such an offensive non-factor

The real problem is Kyle Lowry. I don't know how you're taking home $33m per year playing in your home city and you drop 7pts. These players have no code. Smh

ReysonDrabek:
Well MJ has never won a playoff series without scottie pippen. Never won a ring without two hall of famers. Like i said, go get your glasses and read again, they were 0-2 and your man shot like westbrick, if it werent for his team mates bailing him out he would have gone down 0-3 so what the hell are you even talking about?

Jordan has also never been outscored in a series unlike your boy LeNomad. Phil Jackson did not ever win squat prior to coaching the GOAT either

If it weren't for Bobby Gibson bailing LeNomad out the Cavs would have lost and had to go to Detroit for Game 7. He saved the Cavs from an elimination game! End of story

Miss me with your nonsense hair splitting

ReysonDrabek:
Yet somehow he beat the best the other conference had to offer 3 times, probably more if not for that lanky cunt! Hes coming out of a weaker conference yet you lot blame him for losing 6 finals LOOOOL!

The only think you can bring up is 2011. What does scottie being doubled team have to do with a team being stacked? This literally makes zero sense. You dont have any argument here.

Armed with multiple all-stars. Getting to that many finals was the function of playing in a weaker conference. Just one trip out to the better conference and your nomad went from Finals to no playoffs at all

Wade,Bosh,LeNomad,Allen vs Jordan, Pippen. Lmaooo! Who made the Bulls stacked? John Paxson? Cartwright. Lmaooo GTFOH

ReysonDrabek:
Like i said, you denying the role of facilitation in basketball means you know jack squat about basketball.

I'm responsible for what I write not what you understand

ReysonDrabek:
So what point are you trying to make here? Again this literally makes zero sense. Do you read what you type before you post? My goodness! Imagine trying to argue that lebron is a better facilitator than MJ or that facilitation doesnt matter. WTF are you even saying? Pfft!

You have a very serious comprehension problem. Even after repeatedly telling you a player's ability to rack up assists still boils down to his teammates knocking down shots you keep asking me these dumbass questions ad nauseum. Smh!

When did the debate about who the better facilitator begin? Lol continue shadowboxing

ReysonDrabek:
LMAO! Dude you're embarrassing yourself. Three prime vets had no business being bounced by a 22 year old just stop the rubbish. They didnt bomb, they were slain. They didnt bomb when they upset the raptors did they? you keep saying its not about record yet you keep bringing up their record. Pfft!

But I literally just gave you an example of 3 vets (2 in the top 10 in the league) that got bounced by a rookie, without breaking stride. Btw Jason Kidd at 34 was definitely not in his prime in 07. Try again

A 41-41 team would not even make the playoffs if they played in the West. That is the context that you Bronsexuals keep missing. Calm your tits! they just beat the friggin Raptors with Chris Bosh and TJ Ford FFS. How was that an upset? Sheesh

ReysonDrabek:
How does that change the fact that lebron beat the pistons who were the favorites and the one seed? Now its about the conference. Again do you read what you type? I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and sh-t a better argument than this.

How can it not be about the conference? It was terribly watered down. Even the blind can see it

Insufferable Bronsexuals swear the GOAT faced plumbers so I don't understand why you lot are always in your feelings when we highlight how rubbish the East was

ReysonDrabek:
Another witless argument. Try being the only offensive outlet your team has against a solid offensive team in the finals. Your man shot 35% and got bounced in the first round LMAO!

There is no excuse for that epic brickfest.
Lol Jordan never shot 35% over an entire playoff series

The Spurs were actually poor offensively that series. They only crossed the 85pt mark once! Try again mate

ReysonDrabek:
So harden making the WCF last year shooting the percentage he did makes the west weak yes? WTF is this guy talking about? That was a waste of my 3 minutes.

Just saw your picture, Nigga kevin love has a higher PER than pippen allen and bosh Just stop it, Like i said everything you posted here makes 0 sense!

Lee-MAO!! How convenient. It's now that you develop amnesia to forget that unlike LeNomad in 07, James Harden's volume 3pt shooting actually drives down his field goal percentage. These jokes write themselves

Are you arguing with the stats that I didn't generate now? Na like this craze dey start oh. Did I invent PER??

ReysonDrabek:
Actually go and read the post again. There were more than just two games. Thats the problem, when its lebron he got bailed out and apparently jordan was never in such situations. Thats not even the argument, the argument is his team was far superior to his opposition in most cases, thats why he won. That doesnt make him the GOAT, just means hes on a stacked team. Show me anyone whos been able to do more with less than lebron. Only iverson even comes close as far as that.

Who on this page has ever claimed Jordan was never bailed out? You brought up a series where Jordan and his team were comfortably ahead. The other game you listed (Game 6) had the GOAT leading his team because he got to the free throw line enough times to negate his poor shooting, unlike LeNomad whose team mate dropped 31 points

LeNomad has never won a ring with less than two other all-stars.

Beating up Paul George, Roy Hibbert and Brandon Jennings with multiple all-stars is hardly difficult. The whole myth of LeNomad has literally been built off playing in a rubbish conference

LeNomad once finished 3rd on his team in scoring. Don't tell me about stacked teams. Nobody ever tried to double team Scottie Pippen

ReysonDrabek:
What kind of statement is this? If you are denying the importance of passing and facilitation in basketball you just dont know anything about basketball period. As for the rockets, one of their problems is that the facilitator is a brick machine himself, lebron will always make the best play and when he chooses to score he does so efficiently.

I have to ask what part of your body you read and comprehend with because I don't understand why you would glean the bolded from what I wrote. My point is assists are also down to a team's philosophy and the ability to knock down shots.

In the Rockets case they facilitated and missed!! Being a brick machine has nothing to do with your ability to facilitate. The same complaints Bronsexuals were making last year about how teammates were missing open looks. Assists inadvertently involve putting your fate in the hands of your teammates and if your teammates are bricklayers then John Stockton couldn't assist you

ReysonDrabek:
You literally just mentioned how many games they won and now its not about seed? The point is compare these teams to lebrons team. That jason kidd was about as good a jason kidd as any, 13 9 8 is a solid jason kidd stat line. Add vince carter and richard jefferson and lebron smoked them. Then the pistons who were the one seed with billups, richard hamilton, tashaun prince and rasheed wallace, went 2-0 up and lebron had to go to detroit and put in one of the greatest perfomances in nba playoff history. He was 22 years old with ilgauskas as his number 2. And i'm over exaggerating the difficulty? LMAO Nigga please!

The NBA is rife with many paper super teams that end up bombing badly.

The Knicks with Melo,Amare hell we saw Donovan Mitchell a friggin rookie lead the Jazz past Paul George, Westbrick and Carmelo sin home court and you're telling me about a rubbish team that went 41-41 and wouldn't even sniff the playoffs in the West that year

You know a conference is rubbish when 53-29 is enough to win you a #1 seed. Lmaooooo 8 rubbish teams battling for the right to get swept by whoever came out West

ReysonDrabek:
Thats 42% but yes potato potato. Dont give me that crap about getting away with it, he lost to a superior team period. Their best player, a power forward, shot forty something percent that series and they still won. Why? cause he had another allstar to rely on.

Save me this weak excuse. Your LeNomad went 10/30 in the final Game of that series! If he shot even 11-30 they would have avoided a sweep. It's not like he played his best and they lost. He played at a subterranean level and they would have lost to paraplegics as well

That a player made a Finals run shooting such a paltry percentage shows how rubbish the Eastern Conference was that year and the fact that the Cavs were probably an all-round solid defensive team as well

Lacazette Alert cc @lordfalcao and Airmark citadel of football knowledge

birdman:
On denver side you have the white Tim Duncan complete with point guard handles. Milsap is looking like the Milsap from Jazz days. Murray and Harris are making sweet pick and rolls with Jokic. Denver looks like the more dangerous playoff team.

Buuuut, like play like play McCollum and Lillard have been together like 5 years now? For two guards with similar skills, they play in sync. This by itself is an x factor. They have enough explosive offense to test any defense in the league. Enough to overcome 40+pts from the Joker even.

Denver should win this series, but this could go to game 7.

And Rockets need to step up. I no wan hear excuse abeg...ayam tired of the whining. Wear eye protector if need be, mr mvp

Last night's game was really weird. Denver shot 20℅ from 3 and 34% from the field. This is probably the worst shooting I've seen in recent playoffs history

Denver look like the more balanced team overall, at least on paper but they are hardly showing it on the court. If they let Portland win Game 3 there might be problems.

And this Will Barton dude man? Could Isaiah Thomas possibly have done any worse?

Let’s see this;


Tackles: VVD - 35, TAA - 57
Tackles won: VVD - 25, TAA - 37
Interception: VVD - 40, TAA - 33
Clearance: VVD - 193, TAA - 54
Minute played: VVD - 3205, TAA - 2286


Tackles: VVD - 35, Robertson - 78
Tackles won: VVD - 25, Robertson - 48
Interception: VVD - 40, Robertson - 29
Clearance: VVD - 193, Robertson - 44
Minute played: VVD - 3205, Robertson - 3045


Tackles: VVD - 35, Matip - 36
Tackles won: VVD - 25, Matip - 24
Interception: VVD - 40, Matip - 28
Clearance: VVD - 193, Matip - 71
Minute played: VVD - 3205, Matip - 1445

Now looking at the above stat, you can see that VVD, TAA, Robertson and Matip have comparable tackles and interception but VVD has almost triple their clearance. Now make your deduction.


With this few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that TAA, Robertson, Matip and even Allison have contributed heavily to the improvement of Liverpool defense.

Hehehehe Van Dijk and his ghostwriters

Wasn't expecting the Portland vs Nuggets series to be such a tight defensive affair.

Every series tied at 1 bar the Rockets vs Warriors series. This is more like it

larride:
So I compared the season Vidic won POTY to this VVD breathtaking season, look what I found.

Vidic has almost double everything he had. It’s mind blowing. If anyone dare compare VVD with Vidic again, the person will receive e-knock.

Lee-MAO

4 teams made the quarterfinals and it's looking likely that none might make the Finals. After all talk about all England Final this would be a massive Amaka for you people if none of the teams advance next week

Apt AF. Even looks Dothraki

Another shooting in UNC. At this point I think Mosul and Fallujah are safer than an American school

Chelseafan1:
It's not about scoring bucket loads of goals against lowly rated sides, only to disappear against the Madrid and Liverpools of this world.

Useless world's most expensive player.

Orisirisi. The same Neymar that scored against Bayern and Liverpool abi another Neymar

Chelseafan1:
Smh

Two years and counting now, ur Neymar has been shhhiit with the PSG side who are better than Chelsea.

If he dey Barca today now, we no go hear word

How has he been shit? He has scored more goals since he joined PSG than your Hidden Shakushaku has managed in his Champions League career so Hazard must be worse than shiittt

Chelseafan1:
In 5 years, which Chelsea's squad has been ds good?

What was his contribution when they were good? No be to crash out for group stage?

Chelseafan1:
Smh, I was man enough to call out VVD, you're too shy Salah disgraced you

Forget Salah first. When your Shakushaku faced this same Barca last year did he perform?

They both failed but the difference is one has not gotten this far in 5 years

Chelseafan1:
Okare, u sef don sabi how to do ojoro with question. If na Hazard miss goal at that crucial time, u no go let us rest.

All the crucial stages he don reach how many e don score?

Chelseafan1:
How was Salah tonight. Answer us.

Are you ashamed to talk.?

Where is Hidden Shakushaku? Is it not his mates that are playing today

Chelseafan1:
Is Salah an asshole too or not?

Where is Hidden Shakushaku. 5 years don waka we are yet to see him at this stage?

Lmaooo what shall it profit a league for all 4 representatives to get past the second round and not get to the Final

Chelseafan1:
VVD is an asshole sha

Diezani ni. I like Allison too but Ter Stegen has been underrated

Who is better? The Spanish Abiodun Baruwa at United or who?

Ter Stegen best keeper in the World

raumdeuter:
Matip dey cover ball, VVD run go jam am and he still dey complain

Baba dey fear to near Messi. E dey direct traffic like Yellow Fever

Same thing I said. He was ball watching.

Lmaooo

raumdeuter:
Why is Lukaku way bigger than other 12yr olds? He probably has a gene in him that made him bigger. If there was a $10M award for the best 12yr old, Do you think Lukaku wont be said to be competing unfairly since he has a gene that made him as tall as an 18yr old when he was 12

Being bigger is different from possessing male characteristics that provide an advantage in a female sport.

If this were the UFC for example, do you think Caster would be allowed or should be allowed to fight other women?

raumdeuter:
if you are saying Semenya should lower her testosterone, that same medication in higher doses enough might reduce the for Usain too, dont you think so?

To what purpose? You do realize him lowering his testosterone levels would affect his ability to mekwe as an actual man. What would be the downside to Caster reducing her testosterone levels if she's a woman as she insists

raumdeuter:
People will always complain regardless. Do you think we don't have some white people who think blacks have an unfair advantage in physical sports?
A 12yr old Lukaku was said to be physically bigger than other boys and some people complained, Same with Lebron

When we start catering to one complaint, then why not others?

No they will have no legitimate reason to complain as they will belong under same bracket. As far as sports go that is the only fair route.

We are talking of a hormone that implies possessing numerous traits of the physically stronger gender. In a sport where those traits clearly aid your ability to succeed

raumdeuter:
Ok if it oestrogen doesnt give you any advantage, testosterone does, If Usain Bolt can lower his testosterone enough will he qualify for female sports?

I dont agree with the idea of gender fluidity. it simply means A boy if he cant compete with fellow boys can take medications to allow him compete with girls and vice versa

Exactly. Oestrogen is not a hormone that provides athletic advantage. I do not know if it's humanly possible for Usain Bolt to lower his testosterone levels to be able to compete in female sport without borderline changing his sex

Well if the boy was born with female organs and can reduce his testosterone levels to the point where they are at par with a woman's then have at it

raumdeuter:
Appearance is also as a result of genes, Genes are responsible for height, muscle tone, ad everything that makes you male

Why should Semenya now take medication to adjust her natural genetic makeup?

She was literally born with male gonads.

Me personally I'm a proponent of Intersex sports. Let people with these unique traits have their athletic sport because there is no way people who do not enjoy these genetic advantages will not complain

raumdeuter:
What happens if a man has a high level of oestrogen? Does he play with the ladies?

I am thinking that when we start defining what gender is or should be beyond the features born with then it becomes a slippery slope

Oestrogen gives you 0% advantage as a man in any athletic competition. You would still have more testosterone than the average woman if you competed in female Sports

I think with the advent of gender fluidity and all the lines have been blurred.

raumdeuter:
To me, a woman is anyone who was born female and can get pregnant naturally the same with men and should compete in their gender sport

Its the same type of argument some female tennis players tried to use against the Williams sisters, that they were more masculine than say Justine Henin

Some effeminate men can also argue that physically strong, very tall, well built, thick baritone voice men have an advantage over them. So extremely tall, muscular strong men should be disqualified from competing with others

So with Semenya now, does she go to compete with men?

Appearing masculine is different from possessing high levels of testosterone and male hormones that would give you clear advantages. Neither Serena, Henin were ever found to discover higher than acceptable levels of testosterone required in females.

An effeminate man has no argument. He is not competing in a sport with a cap on testosterone levels.

No one asked her to compete with men or even act or behave effeminately. What Semenya and others like her are simply being asked to do is to take medication that will lower their testosterone levels to the acceptable level required in a female sports. This is bigger than Semenya and let's not lose sight of that

Griffon:
Lol. I can't help it. The lady don confess say no be today IAAF begin target her.

This ruling will apply to any woman with elevated levels of testosterone not just Caster. Let's be sincere and put the shoe on the other foot.

I understand that people might view her as a target but we are talking triple almost quadruple the normal levels of testosterone of her fellow competitors. It might be a natural edge but in a sport such as this it is simply not a fair one
