So OKC got to pay Melo $28mil next year? Jeeesus

Roland17:
Correct call there as Jae elbowed Adams, albeit, inadvertently I must say.

I'm surprised Adams still has a face after these first 4 games. Don't know anyone who's taken that many hits to the face in a series

About who the real rookie of the year is.

Ricky Rubio had as many assists as the entire OKC team. I recall saying the T.Wolves letting Rubio go would be a massive mistake

NictisZorander:
A40 I know the person you mentioned who is obviously not me cannot reply you without getting banned again. However as a peaceful bystander I would have to say I find it interesting that someone who claims to be watching the NBA since the days of Michael Jordan (who is obviously the biggest fraud that ever lived) is a GSW supporter and I think that just summarizes everything about you. Again I am obviously not him but I would understand why he would choose to stop replying you.

Loool whatever man. I can't be bothered with whoever you're trying to be at this point

Roland17:
Quick question for everyone.

If you were the owner of the Portland Blazer, would you consider blowing up this team?

You have to. Everyone but Lillard and CJ is fair game. They have a few guys on terrible deals: Evan Turner for example. This present Blazers team can only plateau from here onwards unless they find a way to move the deadwood

I didn't call a sweep but I did call a Pelicans win.

AD and Jrue = 88pts FFS

Credit to Alvin Gentry. He deserves serious credit for the job he did this year. After losing Boogie you wondered if this team was hexed and never going to make the playoffs. Now you can be pretty sure Boogie would extend and all ATBE this team should compete

As for the Blazers they need to take a long hard look at themselves. Do they want to continue in this purgatory and remain a poor man Memphis Grizzlies? Lillard has been shooting rubbish for the last 4-5 playoffs series. Maybe he needs to appreciate the fact that he's underrated and being overlooked a bit more else the criticism would have been unbearable based on how poor he's actually been in the playoffs

I'm looking at Spotrac and some of the deals I'm seeing. Who is Portland's GM again? He ought to be flogged! A Nurkic deal will put this team neck deep in luxury tax. My people! Teach your children how to play basketball oh

He ought to be back for the Madrid game. I heard the injury isn't a severe one..

Bayern's goal-scorers this season in all competitions:
Lewandowski (39) - Muller (15) - Wagner, Tolisso ( - Thiago, Robben, Coman (7) - Vidal, Ribery, James (6) - Kimmich (4) - Hummels, Martinez (3) - Boateng, Alaba (2) - Sule, Rudy (1)

But our board extends Robbery. Smh

This Gnabry we have to receive with open arms oh and see what he can do, He played his part in RB Leipzig's demolition at home

raumdeuter:
A40

Looks like with our injury situation currently the team vs Madrid has picked itself. With Tolliso, Neuer, Vidal Coman all injured

Kimmich--BoaTANK--Hummels--Alaba
--------------Martinez
---------James------Thiago
--Muller------Lewy-----Ribery

Robben Rudy Sule Wagner as subs

When did Tolisso get injured FFS? I just tire. Every phuckin season both young and old nobody seems to be immune.

It's not that I'm not happy we beat Hannover but all I can think about is Wednesday. It's an obsession really. We have to beat Madrid! Ide yi a lati tu

Lol Anthony Davis is the real unicorn.
Lillard really getting outplayed by Al Farouq Aminu in an elimination game. Smh

CJ has been the only one keeping it close. Lillard has been abysmal! Good God whoever compared this dude to Steph should be flogged inside Sambisa Forest

The Warriors are going to need Steph against these Pelicans I'm seeing oh. Anthony Davis is just mental

Don't make that kind of stupid mistake again. Any coach can lose to any team in top-flight football and any player can miss a penalty.

Meanwhile, what will you say about Benzema's 9 goals in 2700 mins? Dayo will like to know.

Shut up and stop playing Captain Obvious you clown. Gattuso is a managerial nobody so stop chatting nonsense to me about what he did in his playing career. Ozuo

When your much hyped wasteman striker hits double digits you can @ me. Can't keep wasting time arguing about a striker who isn't even the leading scorer of his team

I don't know if what Jrue Holiday is doing in this series is legal. How do you shut down the opposing team's two best players and still dominate on the other end!

Waiting for Dame Time likeeeeee Reekado Banks and Tiwa Savage

birdman:
I would like to see LBJ on the west coast for a change, hopefully not Rockets. Durant's legacy will always be tarnished for that punk move. LBJ needs to know that if he wants to be classed at the MJ/Kobe level, he cant go to a team as good as Rockets. But I have a feeling he will gut it out in cleveland. He is already an old man, playing past his time. Look at Wade, Melo...those guys have maybe 1,2 seasons left?

LeNomad would not stay in Cleveland let's just get that one out the way. He wouldn't want to squander his Golden years in Cleveland when emerging teams like Houston. Philly Boston and to a lesser extent the Pelicans and Lakers are looking exciting and primed to challenge and topple a Golden State who might split when Klay and Draymond are due super max deals. One trick pony Melo never evolved his game. Wade is older but hasn't aged as badly as Melo.

I think LeNomad still has 3 elite years left. Maybe more. He takes care of his body well and genetics was kind on him.

Roland17:
Bron and Simmons play the same position. What happens to Simmons/ Fultz is the problem with Bron moving to the Sixers in my opinion. While Simmons seems to have flourished as a point guard, he is not one. He was only moved to that position after Fultz went down. He played PF in LSU and I am wondering how the Sixers would manage this debacle. If they choose to continue with Simmons guarding from the point, especially to accomodate Bron what happens to Fultz? A trade i can imagine.

Furthermore, Simmons, Embiid and Bron demand the ball to the successfull on the court. I don't see Embiid or Simmons backing down for Bron as they already believe they are better than everyone else in the east.

I don't know that the Sixers can still play Fultz at PG after what Ben Simmons has shown this year. Unless he slides to SG (assuming JJ Redick) does not extend.

LeNomad would play at SF so its probably Saric who would suffer. I'd keep Fultz and use him from the bench.

I think they can make it work as they are willing passers of the ball. LeNomad can play off the ball if need be. They would be open to him coming I'm pretty sure of that

You condemned a coach because his team lost to a weak team. You condemned a player because he missed two penalties in a season. Do i need to call you a fool again?

Obfuscator in Thief. You left the main issue again which is Belotti's 9 goals in 2300 mins.

Comot for my mentions. Oponu adojutinni

Few days ago, Juventus couldn't beat this same crotone, scoring just a goal. Na mumu like you, will rubbish Ronaldo for using some teams to rack in goals.

Where were you last season when Belotti was scoring against the big teams? Where were you when Belotti was outscoring morata in Serie a, two seasons ago?

You even compared Messi, who didn't have any serious injury to Belotti, who most fans know about his injuries. Your head no go ever correct.

Mugu!! Does Crotone stop being a small team because Juve failed to beat them?

Ronaldo has scored the last 12 games in a row. I don't know when you would stop making daft comparisons

Belotti has 9 goals in almost 2300mins in the Serie A so spare me your tales by moonlight. He's yet to crack double digits despite being the primary Pk taker at his club. Shior.

The injury was so serious Belotti has only missed 6 league games out of 33 and none in the last 3 months.
That's how you were phoolishly asking me when Belotti missed multiple penalties

Your shamelessness no get part 2

Chic2pimp, come and see this boy again o. As if fraudiola wasn't sent out of FA cup by a league one side, this season.

Look at stupid stuff, this boy is using to rate a coach. Embarrassing

Bilewu. So Gattuso is comparable to Guardiola. Abi is it because their last names start from G?

That is how this drunkard was comparing Belotti to Messi because Messi missed penalties

ZylerBarkridge:

Then stop trying to make it sound as if they made things worse.

Ewu. Have they been better? It's not about how I try to make it sound! It's about what we are seeing play out on the court

ZylerBarkridge:
Jimmy butler is an excellent defender mo ron. Go and ask the most unguardable player in the league how he is faring against him. And dont bring payton into this you shameless slimy weasel. You foolishly claimed lebron was never a good defender.

I'm telling you what Butler did was more impressive and is got less hype so STFU. I know Butler is a good defender

Lebron is overrated as a one on one defender. He mostly thrives on help defense so shut your gob you epileptic donkey

ZylerBarkridge:
Only a certified dumbass will call using 5 examples with five stars an isolated event.

Shut up! All you did was throw around a bunch of names. Show us stats poof

ZylerBarkridge:
FOH you shameless scoundrel! That wasnt trolling, you were trying to pass that poppycock off as "analysis" LOL! I'm not the one crying here, you're the one putting up the cavs issue on your shaved triangular shaped head not me.

Loool the cretin is pained. Why are you bothered by my comments about the Cavs then? I will take shots at your Tuareg Herdsman and useless team anyway I deem fit you balding and obtuse egret. When you shade KD and the Warriors do I complain?

ZylerBarkridge:
LOL, you were assessing the cavs, including their trades based on this series like it defines them. You're running your pie hole like you have diarrhea of the mouth all about how bad the cavs are. If you believe what you are saying then put your money where your mouth is you moist pussy. Otherwise, suck your mum you roly poly goblin.

As if ret@rded Bronsexuals like yourself aren't running around the webspace tagging this team as the worst 'help' LeNomad has had since 2007. I broke down the malaise of the Cavs so far and you have not brought anything coherent so far to counter it.

I believe what I'm saying that's why I'm willing to bet on them not making the Finals this year. If you are too much of a mangina to take me up on that then phuck off my mentions you spastic inbred sodomite

raumdeuter:
Are you surprised? His best DM Krychokewack cannot make West Brom team anymore. David Luiz has been exiled by club and country

This thing is not ordinary eye oh

See the Gattuso this airhead was hyping just lost at home to Benevento. Benevento had not won an away match all season long

If airmark touched Diamond it would turn to dust. You are the male version of Medusa

airmark:
Gattuso is thousands of miles ahead of you as an authority in the game. I'm not sure they even know you in bariga as a respected soccer analyst. Your knowledge is so limited, raumdeuter used and dumped your sorry a.ss.

So because Kane and Lacazette returned quickly from injury, same must happen to a player whose degree of injury is unknown to you. Someone who had a relapse because he was rushed back and struggled since then. In your eyes injuries are the same for all players. You are ridiculous.

Ogbeni shut up your mouth! Every day you criticize people here with your leprous fingers who asks whether you are an authority or not?

When you start chatting Bariga. Raumdeuter and other unrelated megedefegede it's not hard to tell you have nothing tangible to contribute to the discourse

Mugu. Come and tell us how long Belotti was out for ab initio. How many consecutive games did he miss the first time and even when he had the so-called relapse

Disgrace yourself even further by telling the public how many months ago this occurred. Oponu adojutinni

airmark:
I asked you because you deliberately used 'multiple', to make it look as if he had missed a lot. He missed just twice

When Belotti scored hat trick few weeks ago, did you see me talking about it here? But he missed a penalty, you carried your empty head to call me out. Messi has missed thrice this season, can you imagine how foolish you will look, if you use that against him.

Torino is not complaining, Milan is even interested in him. Leave Belotti and be bothered about a calamitous Boathand.

Don't you know what multiple means or do we add illiteracy to your many mental handicaps?

Would shame let you talk about a player that scored a hat trick against Crotone? Ewu! Messi with 29 goals vs Belotti with 9 in over 2200mins?
Are you hearing yourself at all? Which kin animal talk is that?

Leave our WC and CL winning defender and face your useless Belotti

ZylerBarkridge:
Well that team wasn't working so they had nothing to lose by rolling the dice. Like Koby put it, it was "a slow death march". And it wasn't blind, it was systematic. I still strongly believe in the talent in this team. They just need to stave off the mental jitters and step up. Kevin love included.

Thus far neither has this team. What tangible change can we say this team has achieved? It still sucks on D and is stagnant on almost every other metric. The talent is there but the turnaround time is rather short

ZylerBarkridge:
Only a fraud like you will think someone who can guard prime D Rose isn't an elite defender. Someone who in this 15th year I've seen hold Blake Griffin to 0% shooting in the fourth. Guarded Schroeder, Kemba and Jokic to name a few, all with great success in the fourth. I'm not even going to go into his defensive accolades. It seems everytime you lot speak you say something so foolish and I ought to stop being surprised by it and yet somehow I can't.

You're a proper eediot! Jimmy Butler shut down LeNomad a few years ago and did an even better job yet I don't see anyone calling him Gary Payton.

Bogdanovic is holding LeNomad to 24% shooting when guarding him but I trust a country dumb mofo like you to bring up isolated events to support your phoolish statements.

LeNomad is an overrated defender. You can choke on a diseased phallus for all I care

ZylerBarkridge:
If you're not burying the Cavs then what are you doing going about whining like a little b itch all over the thread trying to dice the Cavs and LeBron apart. I said double down and put your money where your mouth is instead of running your pie hole, posting purified garbage trying to pass it off as "analysis". If you're not ready to bet on the Pacers series then shut your friggin pie hole you impotent clown.

STFU you troglodyte! We can't troll the enemy after a couple of losses or WTF is wrong with this sensitive dickface? If you can't stomach it then come back after the series is done and stop the bloodclart crying

A beta like you is not fit to dictate terms to me. The Cavs are not getting out of the East. That is my condition. If you're too much of a poosie to bite on that then go phuck yourself you unrepentant son of Sodom

airmark:
Coaching ability is not the same as having an eye for talents, so you are the one disgracing yourself here. Every sensible person, who knows football can see that injury hindered Belotti's progress. You don't even need Gattuso to bang it into your ears.

How many talents have Gattuso identified and successfully groomed oponu!!

Either scouting or in terms of managerial ability how has Gattuso stood out?

You always chat like a drunkard! Lacazette , Harry Kane have all returned from injury and are banging in goals yet you are talking nonsense about an injury that happened last year. Alailojuti

airmark:
He missed two right? Messi missed more penalties than him this season, you should go and call him a fraud too. In fact in 2015/2016, when he was adjudged as the best forward in laliga, he missed 4 penalties. Stop exposing your wack knowledge of football here.

Why did you then phoolishly ask me if Belotti missed multiple penalties? You always talk like a dangbana! Messi one of the best players in Europe compared to Belotti? A Belotti still on 9 goals? You are shameless

ZylerBarkridge:
And how are you sure that traded Cavs team would have even made the playoffs?

Not that his defense is what it used to be but your comment on his defense I reckon is based on a single play like all you simple minded fellows do.

And to the picture attached. You do realise that statement is a self defeating paradox yes? The latter is why the former stands. He has consistently won with scrubs and in most cases when he loses its because the supporting cast was lost not him.

And how does the Cavs scoring only coming from LeBron become a fault of his? Is it his fault his teammates were missing wide open looks?

I don't even know why you drama queens are already burying the Cavs. Mark me, the Cavs aren't losing this series. And if you want to put your money where your mouth is then I'm game.

And what was the guarantee this present iteration were going to make the playoffs? What was abundantly clear was that team had a much higher ceiling than this one. Flawed as they might have been you felt they had a shot if they got into the playoffs.

Only Bronsexual sheep like you still think LeNomad is anything close to an elite defender. He has always been overrated as a one on one defender

Rubbish. The image just highlights the duplicitous and double standards of you Bronsexuals. Win. Lose or Draw LeNomad gets all the credit.

Who has buried the Cavs? I'm game whenever you are. If you speak Paypalian then let's go! I don't know about this series but you guys are not coming out the East

birdman:
I dont think it would have been any better without the trade. The league is so young now that cavs would be down 3-0 right now - pacers are too young, too fast. Hood, Nance, Clarkson are still having playoff jitters. If they made half the gimme shots they took yesterday, results would be different. As tempting as it is to want older vets, this youth movement is the only way Lebron gets a shot even in the east. Lue needs to figure a way to rest LBJ while leaving potent offense on the floor. I think the decision to play LBJ without any rest in the second half was a bad mistake.

It's difficult to tell. The Pacers are not winning on the back of their relative youth. What I can say was perhaps underestimated was how well these Pacers match up with the Cavs. They won the regular season contests comfortably.

The main thing ailing the Cavs is their lack of secondary scoring options. With the vets they had guys that could pick up the slack when LeNomad sits. Wade would not shy away from the moment and neither would IT. In a game the Cavs are chasing do you expect Larry Nance or Rodney Hood to pick up the slack?

You and I know LeNomad would not stick around to find out if he can win with these guys..

birdman:
It depends on how those 3 adjust. You dont need superstar points from them. Just activity on defense and 4 or 5 baskets on offense

It's only in the East you can get away with such mid season gaga shuffle. In another conference such move would be pretty much tantamount to waving the white flag.

Nance is a rotation guy. Hood is good and has potential but has always been a bit sawft and a well known mental midget. Clarkson is a poor man's Monta Ellis.

The adjustment period from All-star trade deadline to mid-April was a bit too short tbh

airmark:
Gattuso is a hall of famer, who played actively as a player, winning all trophies that were there to be won and individual honours. He's now a coach for a big club in europe. Who are you? Do you even know how to lace a boot?

Maradona once coached the Argentine national team so what's your point? Great player does not guarantee you would have an eye for talent. It's a crying disgrace that I have to explain something this simple to you

airmark:
Belotti missed multiple penalties? How many has he missed this season? You can talk rubbish for bariga sha. Afaulty

Who missed their penalties against Chievo and AC Milan a few days ago? You always argue stubbornly and stewpidly like a mountain goat

lolawilliams:
Honestly, i think the Cavs made the right choice the time they made that trade. IT and Crowder weren't adding anything to the team. We thought this new addition would be great, but it's just a piece of crap. The Raps would beat this team to pulp. No 3-6 jokes for LeBron, cause he's not even coming out of the east, hell noo

Obviously for the long term. However you can't seriously be thinking of going to war with the West this year with Nance. Hood and Clarkson.

I think all hopes of competing with Golden State or Houston were destroyed the minute the trade was made

lolawilliams:
Now I see why Irving left. He would never get the attention he deserves if he keeps playing under LeBron. last night game showed how the team relied on him, he had just 3pts in the 3rd quarter and it affected them scoring just 12, failed to get back on defense and make an average player looked like a superstar

I know how bad 76ers want LeBron but I think adding LeBron to the team might gradually damage the young and talented team theyve been building. A team that fits him well is Rockets, Harden and CP are big players and won't have time for the drama he brings. Still can't believe the Cavs blew a 17pts leas in playoffs.

Thank God you're seeing it. I believe Game 1 was his worst showing but he gets a pass for Game 3.

This is why I believed the mid season trade was a bad idea, guys like Wade , IT ,Crowder would not shrivel this badly in crucial moments like these. I don't think anybody besides Kevin Love scored a bucket in the last 9mins of the game for the Cavs. Lebron has been nil on defense which is essentially negating his offensive output! I've always seen him as an average to poor one on one defender but you couldn't deny he at least showed effort. These days he can't even be bothered

I think Sixers would be his best landing spot. That team should be a problem for 5 years at least.
