True that. But IT is different. In my books he is more intense than westbrook, definitely better skills too. With that attitude they are guaranteed to have some really close games. Close games can go either way

Cavs go sweep Boston for playoff setting. Boston no get the firepower to compete.

Wizards ought to be 3-1 up by now if they weren't such a mentally fragile team. If you want an ECF Final that won't end in a sweep the Wizards are still the better alternative

To be frank those calls on Green were bogus.

Tonight shows why Golden State went for KD. Klay and Steph have been atrocious! Very important to have a good mid range guy when Utah are charging down the 3pt line, hell they just made a block!

The Warriors bench have been a bit poor. I remember the good old days when Iggy was one of the game's elite slashers. Now its pretty much settling for jumpers

This is child abuse. Lebron just bullying these guys straight up. I'm speechless fam! Lol I thought they brought Demare Carroll and P.J Tucker to help. Useless on defense and offense.

This is the sharpest and most efficient I've seen Lebron since 2013.

Lol I rocked the Kobe 2's way way way better than that rainboot.

Lebron wan kill these Raptors sha.

To their credit they are putting up a fight even sans Lowry. DeRozan took my insults personal appaz

Who is gassing that Lavar Ball kid? E never even enter league and wants to start selling rainboot for $500

Roland17:
Aburo,

You no see as Bradley Beal flop when Horford screen am? the flying no be here. Marcus smart alone accounted for 8 of 16 turnovers. This is a very physical series and far from over, and for some weird reason we come out very slow against the Wizards, we plunge into double digit deficits in the first half. The tin tire me.

Na Smart been start the Flopalympics, even the move that got Oubre ejected Olynyk did some flopping. You guys have the mental edge but its always harder to come from behind on the road. Roleplayers like Bogdanovic, Porter e.t.c become factors

Roland17:
The referees started out managing the intensity and physical nature of this game very well. However, it has changed and the wizards are enjoying some ridiculous home cooking officiating, which has led to escalations and verbal outburst.

Lmao my gee you no go talk about how Marcus Smart dey flop like eja aro around the place.

E been benefit una for house and nobody talk. Gbagbe homecooking na turnover kill your boys today

Omo this beating Loud gaan. I don't think even the Cheez Wiz can blow this one. If they played this kind of Voltron D in Boston they wouldn't be down 2-0

Otto Porter has been on some other shyte

DeRozan needs to add some range to his shooting. Its pathetic. In today's game most players work on reducing their weaknesses so I don't understand DeRozan 8+ years in the game and still can't shoot the trey. Now with Lowry doubtful its probably a sweep

George Hill is out too. That his big toe they need to do something about it

lolawilliams:
One more word from you

Ahn ahn. Babim its not like that now. E never reach that stage

O to ojo meta.

For your players to openly question your tactics on the eve of a pivotal 2nd leg it means you are doing something wrong. I've never seen Tom Brady question Belichick or M.J questioning Phil Jackson. I can now see why people attribute his tactical brilliance to his players

Decale:
Even A40 has a secret closet where he worships Lebron

Nah. After Roland17 team get kicked out, I will be on the fence just to enjoy the finals in peace.

Taaa. Gbafuo eba. Lebron werey wo? That one that whines when things aren't going his way?

Decale:
If I had a milli, I would stake on that matchup to also be a sweep

Everybody knew that was gonna be a sweep. The whole nine yards

At least we gave Pacers one game before Lebron came to ruin it in game 3. That series was fair. Pacers lost by a combined 16 or so points.

But not Blazers Warriors. It was even worse when Nurkic got injured. Kicking someone when he's down. The game 4 just summed up the embarrassment.

Yes. I'd agree another team may have stolen one primarily the Nuggets. Pelicans late run towards the season end might also take one.

Sara money. With Nurkic out. Almost all man here had Warriors sweeping the Blazers

C'est dommage for the Spurs. Hard to see them get past the Rockets without Tony Parker

This summer James Harden needs to hook up with Gary Payton or some other guy that can teach him how to play defense. He has the size to guard from 1-3 and while everybody can't be Green or Kawhi he could at least try. A team trying to win a title can't cope with a star player being so bad on D. Isaiah we can understand, James has no excuse

Decale:
Only 2 teams have not played WCF since 2000: New Orleans and Clippers

Guess the common denominator guy there?

Wow. That's a shocking coincidence tbh. And a reminder of how tough the West is

Roland17:
I am in support of that because i think its the toughness of the sport that makes it attractive, however, i have seen retrospective actions for similar hits, especially considering he was blindsided. Niskanen cross checked him to protect himself, and that was how the knees got Crosby's head, however, if u look closely you see his fist go through Crosby's head, which made it worse.

The NHL does not want to fall prey like the NFL, softening the game would lead to loss of followers and ratings like the NFL. Its a thin line, but that was a dirty play on Crosby. Don't forget Crosby has a history with concussions.

Toughness no suppose apply for head matter oh. Any head hits especially unnecessary ones like Niskanen delivered have to be punished sternly. Even combat sports stop a fight when the other party can no longer defend themselves

We are talking CTE here and something that would affect the player's quality of life later on. This is the 21st century not Ancient Rome.

David West still nice with his passes in the paint

When would Steph stop throwing these nonsense passes

Roland17:
Your boy Crosby suffering a concussion may just be the break the Caps needs. Truthfully, i am surprised the league did not consider any retrospective punishment for Ovechkin, because i think he was culpable for a high stick which hit Crosby on the head, and also shoving him to the waiting knuckles of Niskanen.

Thunder fire those people. It was truly dirty play. It was Niskanen's knee actually on Crosby's head. The league always tries to portray hockey as some tough guy sport that's why we keep seeing these nonsenical plays.

I'm banking on Malkin, Bonino, Kessel and Hornqvist to step up

birdman:
^Dont matter smoosh. Wizards are a lazy and weak willed team. If celtics push, they will give up the next 2 home games too. These guys are not mentally ready for a long playoffs run - they got out of the first round, so mission accomplished. They have already checked out.

Oh, and John Wall is lazy

The Celtics own their soul. That their outburst after the Warriors loss really fall my hand. They are sweet. And its a shame because John Wall was out of his mind. Lazy ke? What would we now say about his teammates? What Wall does is not easy oh. He has to score and create unlike Isaiah (not downplaying his epic feat)

I still think this is a 6 game series at least. The Wizards role players should play better at home.

Special mention to Isaiah. What he is doing is unheard of for a guy his size

You have to give Draymond DPOY. This guy does more than just guard his primary assignment. He actually cleans up the mess and covers for the lapses of his teammates

Roland17:
Too much fire power for the Warriors, this series would be quick and clean for the Dubs..

Basically eating off turnovers. They are still on Gear 1.

Lmao see as Steph put Gobert for hoverboard for there

birdman:
I thought that too at first. But is Harden more dangerous at the 3pt or in the paint? Same with Gordon, Beverly, LouWilliams. All these guys get hot from 3, but they will damage you in the paint guaranteed.

Im going to guess Popovich stays stubborn and sticks to his philosophy of protecting the paint. Now, they will show and try to defend a little more at the 3, but they will not show hard and risk penetration in the paint. Harden is already an expert in this, no need to encourage those dribbles to the paint

If spurs go down, they will go down with their game plan.
Rockets will have to repeat this hot shooting 3 more times. And I believe this will be dantonis game plan. Run the system until spurs show you they can stop it

The lack of mobility from the Spurs bigs were an underrated issue. The Grizzlies exposed it. LMA, Gasol, Lee. Once they start slowly the Rockets can toggle through lineups and run you out of the gym. At a point D'Antoni was playing Ariza at PF

This Warriors defense is just sucking life out of the Jazz.

Warriors shooting like 15% from 3 and still up 10

Draymond Green dey para. Reminds me so much of Pip

Lukaku is quality ka ma kuro ka ma jale. He will likely do better than Costa if he gets the service.

So whether big clubs are after him or not is moot. We won the treble with Mario Mandzukic so its down to if he can fit.

Shebi na Benzema we dey see for Madrid. Wetin e dey play?

Now you deserve no further response again. Benevolence ko , murrayvollence ni. Dindinrin you think the clause only benefitted klitschko at the time of signing?. I have told u great boxers won't wave a title bout for a rematch with no belt to win. Klitscho will prefer to train for a title bout especially when age is not on his side again. Even fury will prefer a title bout with aj to fighting klitscho. You are not smart at all.

Yet you are responding. Ara stoopidity ta'n so niyen.

When you phoolishly rush to quote post without context and understanding why won't you expect Tyson to fight a retired Buster Douglas. Or see Lennox Lewis with IBF belt in 97. You need deliverance

Ekuke! Fury is a challenger entitled to win back his belts. He didn't lose them in the ring so stop phoolishly comparing him to Klitschko who has now lost back to back title fights. But for the dearth of quality heavyweights Klitschko would be at the back of the queue

The Raptors for me aren't even as good as last year. And bad as the Cavs D might be the Raptors do not have the perfect blend of stars and role players to cause an upset. Plus there's LeBron and if Paul George couldn't slow him down you just wonder who in the Raptors can.

For the Spurs vs Rockets. The Grizzlies series and the mighty struggle to beat them planted my seeds of doubt. They did a horrible job of guarding the 3pt line it must be said, still I don't know if the Rockets can continue with that NBA Jam type of shooting. What has impressed me however is the flexibility of D'Antoni. The way he is toggling matchups and going with who is hot offensively and defensively is unique. Everything is going through Kawhi and are turning him to an iso player almost.

LMA has been a complete liability. The damage he did even with his limited minutes is obscene.

You got to give it to D'Antoni. Those passes Harden makes nowadays it takes a coach with foresight to have seen that potential

airmark:
Whats the meaning of this rubbish? Did tyson go to jail immediately after losing to douglas to force his hand off a rematch? When you have nothing sensible to post, just move. I gave you lewis, hollifield and now tyson, you kept giving stvpid excuses. Tyson fought 4 boxers after losing to douglas before going to jail, none of which was buster douglas. so why would you bring the jail excuse? Do you think you are arguing with your mates, burukutu-sipping troglodytes at shomolu? Next time dont bring stupid suggestions to the fore when i am here. Ajakaja .

Something needs to be done about the genetical noose of stupidity asphyxiating your life. Did they tell you a rematch must happen immediately after a loss? Oponu. How many fights did Douglas fight after Tyson? How would Tyson have fought Douglas, same Douglas who ran into retirement after losing his only title defense to Holyfield. Can you not see that you are a bast@rd laidis?

Always making senseless analogies and comparisons. Ekuke

Abajo you saw Lennox Lewis wearing IBF belt going into his fight with McCall in 97

airmark:
This is one of the reasons i laughed when you claimed to be an OG in the game. If you lack details of a current fight, then how would you discuss boxing that time, when you were being fed through feeding bottles? In AJ - Klitschko fight contract, a rematch clause was in it. If you lack information, seek, before disgracing yourself typing nonsense. When the fight was going on you just opened your halogen eyes, shouting 'hey, haa' at every punch thrown, without listening to useful information from the commentaries. You are just a waste of space.

Assuming there is a rematch clause. That still comes down to the benevolence of AJ. As Champion you are not necessarily obliged to honor a losing challenger. Your apoche cra cra brain might not know this. That would explain why you were expecting Tyson to fight a retired man. And why you can't tell the difference between a losing champion and a losing challenger.

What a penkelemes. Your intelligence level is inversely proportional to your age. Old phool!

airmark:
This is an evidence of a lost argument. Lewis won a title before his rematch with mccall, yes or no? Whether it was called ibf or ibo, just prove me wrong. The point is, great boxers would give preference to a title bout, especially an aging boxer like klitschko. Tyson lost all his belts to douglas, he got them back fighting other champions. He never had a rematch with douglas till tomorrow. Tyson was not a mumu like you. Klitschko will be so stvpid to see fury as the next stop to gain respect. You are a ninny who doesnt know how important the tag, '' three-time world heavyweight champion'' is to great boxers. Your preference for fury's fight shows how shallow your reasoning is.

What is the name of the title Lewis won? Tell us now or is afraid catching you? Omugo! You already shat the bed when you said he was IBF Champ as a matter of fact, When I say you are daft it is not an insult. You are using Tyson who went to jail and Douglas who faded to irrelevance as an example. Smh. No self respecting ex champion who has lost consecutive title fights keeps jumping from one title holder to another. Tyson Fury is still relevant and an unbeaten heavyweight who was stripped of his belts. He didn't lose them in the ring so only a Bilewu like you would compare both scenarios.

airmark:
Even vitali will daze you with a straight jab if you chat this shiit in his presence. It's obvious you dont know what it means to be a three-time world heavyweight champion. From puritty to sanders to brewster, klitschko didnt fight a belt-less rematch, he brilliant went for those with belts and collected them back. He is not a fool, he will rather die in front of AJ than to go and do clinching party with a lunatic fury. These are basic stuffs, kids in college understand.

No self respecting losing challenger runs around demanding rematches. It is purely at the Champ's discretion. That A.J is even entertaining the talk of a Klitschko rematch is just out of sheer class and being magnanimous. AJ can tell
Klitschko to fuq off like Klitschko did to Haye and that would be the end of the story. Whether 3 time or 50 times champion there is a reason no sensible human being would put Holyfield above a Foreman, Lewis or Holmes.

Fury is unbeaten, was stripped of his belts. But you are phoolishly comparing to journeymen Brewster and Puritty. Mugu so you think Vitali would have turned down Lennox Lewis that year whether belts were involved or not? Mumu! Its not enough to be champion sometimes who you beat also matters. You are not smart enough to know this

airmark:
Stop disgracing yourself lewis didnt fight a rematch with mccall until he won a title and after 4 bouts with other cats. Thats what i am telling you here. Great Boxers dont reason like stark illiterates from marooned villages, they are smart alecs. Klitschko has very little time to make fury his priority. If you have brain you would reason it out. Those legends prefer to quit as champs, not as rematch winners. Evander hollifield didnt fight a rematch with valuev but preferred to fight for wbc title and left as a champion. Most people cant remember valuev beat him, but will immediately remember he left as a champ and honoured. You need to learn from this convo and work on your decision-making skills in life. These are stuffs dayo wont advise you, cos he wont want you to drag the throne with him. This is not about typing 'mia san mia ' up and down. You can learn and become a knowledgeable person from our arguments.

Apoche cra cra what title did he win? It is not enough to keep bleating like the Ewure of misfortune wey you be. Show us where you saw Lennox Lewis with the IBF belt in 1997. An event you claimed to 'IN FACT' happen

There is no rule that says rematches must happen immediately after a loss so I'm still wondering what is to be done with this useless piece of information

Oponu. Klitschko great as he is is at the mercy of the Champions. Only a phool like you would bring up Holyfield's example. How often do you see a losing challenger demand a rematch with the Champion?

Asinwin. I bet you didn't even know Valuev had the belt when Holyfield fought him. You always make nonsensical comparisons and examples. Shey agbari o ki'n ta e ni

Oponu. E say na In Fact. Hahahaha
