Sadly both teams I supported lost their games. I know the saints would have stand a better chance against the Pat, but I won’t write Rams off completely. One thing that surely helped the Pats out is their experience.

Chiefs should have gone for a touchdown in that last drive.
Too little time left. There really wasn't much they could do there.

They started too slowly for a home team and Belichick is just a Babalawo, he knew that keeping the ball off Mahomes hands over the course of the game was their only shot at winning.

Wiggins is fast starting to look like a hopeless case. In any other field he would be out of a job with his listless performances every night. A guy his size and on that contract just can't be doing 4 rebounds and 2 assists on a nightly basis plus woefully inconsistent shooting

Saint has a 13 point lead at some point. They should have finished off the game instead of leaving it to the "refs".
Ohh no no no. While I don't necessarily dispute that the refs had their chances to win the ballgame, that gaffe was an unforgivable PI that one could see from Space. I'm surprised Choppa City boys allowed those officiating crew escape alive. It was a crying disgrace

As a Steelers fan though I think it's just karma for the two BS PI calls on Joe Haden in Week 16 so ojoro cancel

Yes and I expect TB12/Belichick to win their 6th SB easily. The Rams run defense is poor and we saw what the Pats did to the Chiefs on the ground.
We should have a SB thread in two weeks and discuss the game live.
CC: ipledge10 A40
I know better than to bet against the GOAT. Still I feel there are chinks in the Pats armor, they have a bonehead Dee Ford to thank for getting to the SB --not that the Rams were not even luckier--

Overall I still like Tom Brady in this game. He's pissed off and I don't see how he loses back to back SBs

He is averaging 30+ shot attempts in the last two weeks shocked. Broke for fifty again today. On one hand, I fear the inevitable injury or playoff collapse. on the other hand, I am happy to see him on another level.
Typical D'Antoni running his team into the ground. It's the regular season, use a deeper rotation but e no dey hear word. Eric Gordon didn't finish last night's game. Man your Rockets don enter one chance

Hasan Salihamidžić on Hudson-Odoi: "We want to sign the player. I'm fully convinced of his abilities. We are in talks with Chelsea"

on Lucas Hernández: "We've already had talks, and there will be more to come. But getting him in winter is unrealistic"

on de Ligt and de Jong: "Both are very good players with great developmental potential. But we have to see what's needed for the summer

"We have to find a good mix between young talents and experienced leadership players"

How are the current chances that Bayern will trigger the 42m clause and sign James? Brazzo: "We'll look at the 2nd half of the season and draw the right conclusions
Is it possible to sign James then sell him with profit? Brazzo: "That's not the style of FC Bayern. If we decide for such a player, then he remains part of the team"

Brazzo: "Pavard will become the fourth CB in the squad and he can also play right back as he showed with France. That means he will expand our defensive options and there will be more healthy competition"

Brazzo on Ribéry: "The team will be changed. What interests me is that Franck presents himself in top form like before the winter break. We want to give him a proper sendoff he knows that. [/b]The relation b/w Bayern & Franck is unique. No matter what, everyone remains professional"

Meanwhile, I have been waiting for this year to make my judgement on the brad Stevens > Steve Kerr debate when he has won zilch. Brad is good no doubt but I have just being enduring the excessive dickriding. You have to be more than a good tactician for a team of good players to transcend into a great championship winning squad. Handling talented players who are conscious of their worth requires skill abt human management, its another beast compared to handling a team of underdogs. This is an area where Kerr thrives. People just think titles where handed to him because he has good players! But nah! The dude has been and is still a winner, he simply knows what it takes to win EVEN THOUGH HE SOMETIMES MAKES GOFFY DECISIONS ON THE COURT, HE DESERVES TO BE RESPECTED. HE HAS EARNED IT.
Exactly, those teams often have big ego problems. Just look at the Celtics, they have won nothing. yet, some players already have entitlement mentality.
There are certain players on that Celtics team that need to be traded. Their depth that was supposed to be a strength is now looking like a problem. Brad can't stick with a stable rotation and certain players just aren't playing to their previous levels, their drop has been precipitous

The Lakers had two quality picks in d'angelo and randle but nah! Lets trade them away and keep the two lottery busts. What was magic thinking when he traded Russell and selected lonzo even when I was clear his jumper was broken. Trying to reinvent the wheel in a league where a guard must have a respectabe shooting to be of value.
Let me apologize for thinking Lonzo Ball would be a better fit than Russell for the Lakers. He seems to have regressed even worse than my worst prognostications. Seeing Russell carry the Nets and a bunch of electricians and janitors every night makes Magic Johnson look pretty bad. I think everyone already knew letting Julius Randle go was a mistake but Russell at the time looked like someone that might not fit with LeBron

Lonzo's problem is double fold as his jumper is not just busted but unlike a Ben Simmons he has no go to moves to the basket.

When the game was 14-0, I told my friend I’m picking Saints in that game. I so much believe in their offense, but the defense actually did the job for them yesterday. But what I couldn’t understand was how Eagles couldn’t double up on Thomas.
Thomas is a monster. If you double him that's one less guy in the backfield that can pick Kamara if Brees throws up screen passes. Don't forget they also bring their Swiss army knife Taysom Hill who can literally do it all.

The way we dey carry this Hudson-Odoi matter for head, even going as far to offer him Robben's no 10 jersey, this kid had better turn out to be the second coming of Pele. Cos me no understand all the hype about this kid.

If we are so hellbent on signing one of those English boys, why not just go for someone like say, Ademola Lookman. He is better than this Odoi chap in my opinion and should be cheaper and more importantly has proven himself in the Bundesliga, with Leipzig last season.

I think A40 also suggested that Naija boy at Villarreal Chukwueze. The kid has been a revelation this season and I expect the top clubs to start swooping in on him very soon. We should be keeping tabs. There is also this Senegalese kid at Rennes tearing up the flanks in the Ligue One. I can't really remember his name at the moment. There are plenty of gems waiting to be unearthed and polished at cheaper prices, so why pay over the top for one English lad?

There are still quality bargain signings on the market. We signed JK for fvcking 8 million euros. I wonder if Reschke is still at the club. Our recent record when it comes to spending big on young players hasn't been too good. There was Goetze and we are still stuck with the supposed 'Omo Ologo' Renato Sanches. I just pray this Hudson-Odoi boy comes good, if the deal does eventually go through.
Our scouts are just lazy. I have not seen why we would cough out £35m on Hudson-Odoi. He had a decent game against Videoton or one of those New Testament teams Chelsea faced in the Europa and all of a sudden he's Bayern level. We have Alphonso, Coman and Gnabry already. Shouldn't we be looking at an established name instead of all this trial and error and if we must be going for a diamond in the rough then let it be an actual diamond in the rough not this EPL hype job

The defense carried the game... it was hard for foles to make complete passes.
The absence of a running back really hurt the Eagles. At 14-0 Foles was still trying to make the big play instead of just trying to control the ball. If you keep challenging the Saints secondary at some point they will make a play that will turn the game on its head

That drop by Jeffrey was the backbreaker. I really thought Foles was going to win it at the end

I've been saying this thing since day dot. Rashford was the Mbappe before Mbappe came on the scene.

If Marcus goes to PSG and gets to run at cobblers, tilers, and rewires all day, he would win balon dor in 2 seasons.

Lloris na their oga. French captain. And Rash just laid him out with no uppercut.

Between 1998 and 2007,Xavi wasn't so efficient and was overshadowed by players like Ronaldinho, Deco, Thiago freaking Motta and even Marc Van Bommel had more impact than Xavi in the single 2005/06 season he spent with us.

Iniesta brought out the beauty of Xavi's play. I can boldly say without Iniesta, there was no Xavi. But without Xavi, there was Iniesta.

2006 and 2015 finals say so.

Don't rubbish Don Xavi in your eagerness to defend Iniesta. In Xavi's prime he was Thanos in that midfield. Iniesta is not his mate

Lmaooooo Lonzo Ball is a poor man's Ricky Rubio. Bykebyke has realized what we were suspecting.

The issue with Ball is you never know what you're going to get from him on any given night, and for a number 2 draft pick that is simply unacceptable. Right now is he the second, third or even fourth best player on the Lakers? You really can't tell and there lies the problem.

When a perimeter player is shooting 43% from the field and 41% from free throw line you're essentially fighting with one arm tied behind your back
