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

airmark:
Nobody is above correction, your trying to prove you were right, exposed you the more as a nincompoop. Lewis lost his belts to rahman and everyone clamoured for a rematch, which happened immediately. Did joshua take klitshko's belts like rahman did? Lewis didnt fight mccall immediately, in fact he won ibf title before mccall's rematch, just as i suggested for wk. so i dont know why you foolishly gave these two examples for your rematch reasons. You always argue like a dolt. Also you think people must talk about a duel before it happens, you are ridiculous. Who talked about joshua - molina , joshua - martin, joshua - breazle months before they agreed to fight? Lola needs to have a rethink, having dopemu like you as the head of the family, will be the biggest mistake in her life.

You are just a phoolish noisemaking troglodyte. You think Lewis would pass on a chance to face anybody who defeated him belt or no belt? He is one of the few boxers who never failed to avenge a defeat so common sense dictates that Klitschko would at least want to achieve that with one of his conquerors. Which IBF title did Lewis win before fighting McCall? Asinwin analyst. He won that belt from Holyfield. GOOFanti

Stop arguing like an amateur. There are always under G negotiations. It is only in the rare absence of opponents or injuries that last minute fights pop up. A Wilder for example would not be mandated to even fight Klitschko so he holds no ace and cannot challenge for shyte.

I pity the poor children who would have the unique misfortune of your DNA hanging like a noose around their neck. Their future couldn't be dimmer if they were born in Syria

I'm sure apoche cra cra does not even know Joshua is not obliged to give Klitschko a rematch

You wont make it as a boxer cos you need to make smart decisions while picking fights. Thank God klitschko is not foolish like you. You want a 41 yr old, nearing his exit, to fight fury with no belt at stake, right? Why not parker or wilder and finish on a high as a WBO or WBC champ? You bring your idiocy from soccer, enter boxing. You need to work on yourself bro.

You are senseless. The average boxer always wants a rematch with whoever beat them unless they don't believe in themselves. That is why Lennox fought McCall and Rahman again after losing to them both. Its a matter of pride ode. Besides why would he fight people who already have their mandatory challengers? You are too daft to know how boxing works. Did you hear Klitschko talk about fighting them? I can even understand Parker since he would be fighting for one of his lost belts but the Wilder you mentioned shows high stupidity on your part. Have you heard anybody talk about a Klitschko x Parker, Klitschko x Wilder fight. Bilewu. They need to empty the contents of your cranium and dump it for one orita meta as ebo to the gods

Where Roland? Shey you dey see Penguins? The firepower too much! Only one team Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, Hornqvist, Bonino. Then small boys like Rust, Sheary and Jake n Bake Guentzel. Ready to step up. How many teams you know fit score even while shorthanded for play off setting

The Celts have caught another massive break. Though they always matchup well with the Wizards but Markieff Morris getting hurt is a huge loss for the Wiz. Their 3rd best player IMO and one of the game's most versatile bigs

birdman:
I see why its so hard to judge talent. It is amazing to see how mentally tough gordon hayward has gotten. You just cant measure heart

Time to retool the clippers. I hope cp3 heads somewhere...lots of talented young teams that need a floor general. Instead of playing with mr glass that has been injured like 3 playoffs in a row

Hayward worked out with the Mamba last summer. So that killer instinct and mental toughness must have rubbed on him

Would be tough for CP3 to leave and miss out on a super MAX deal. Even for a ring we are talking almost $100m. Where does he even go? I'd move Blake if I were the Clippers and try to get a Paul George. They need to upgrade their swingmen too. J.J Redick has to go! When his 3's aren't falling he is borderline useless. And Mbah a Moute just doesn't give enough offense

Eruditor:
Hahaha. Another danger in using stats in games you did not watch. Are there no regular season games in which Anderson shot less than his 10.8 average? So what are you talking about?

Now since I watched those games let me tell you how those stats work:

Games 1, 2 & 3 Anderson had 18 3-pt attempts and made only 2 and 2 of them were in that game 3 that he had 14 FGAs. In
Games 4 & 5 he had 11 FGAs. In both games combined he got 6 3PA and made only 1. This brought his total 3PA in 5 games to 3 of 24. Now tell me, a player who was 2/18 going into games 4&5 what justifies his extra 6 3PAs if not that his teammates are still giving him the ball?

Even in his most prolific game (game 3) Anderson got as much 3PAs as 2PAs (7) even when it was clear he was faring better with his midrange shots than his 3-pt. In fact, he got the passes more beyond the arc in that game but he kept faking and stepping into the arc to knock 12ft shots. I believe he had only 1 dunk in that game his 5 other 2-pt shots made were by taking the ball from beyond the arc into it to knock midrange shots.

As per Beverley and Tales by moonlight, make I laugh small before I respond . 1) I did not argue any Rockets player did a better job than him 2) asking me to bring another name that did better is disingenuous.

If you recall, you claimed you SAW Beverley force 5TOs from RW and make 7/27 shots in game 5. You said that to argue that Beverley did more of a job on Russell than Roberson did on Harden (essentially saying Houston players were better and so on) but my argument has been that it is Houston's more effective system that did the job on Russell (seeing he refused to pass in the 4th Quarters) and not necessarily about Houston having better players.

If Beverley was left to man mark Russell all series long (without help as Roberson did on Harden), Russell would have averaged 45ppg.

Even at 39% FG compared to 47% FG of his team and 26% 3P compared to 31% of the rest of his team, this is what you call minute?

Let me use a poser to show how ridiculous your assertion is:

Please bring one game in this series where RW made more points than his other teammates combined.

Preposterous!!

OKC are -58 when RW sits, fine. Bring out his +/- in all the 4th Quarters that he played this series so we can justify the above or we can just conclude that anybody can throw numbers about without even understanding the context in which arguments are made.

Oshey Mike Breen abi na Hubie Brown you be? Shebi na Seacaucus you dey work? Anyway your verbose Ted Cruzesque speech don't excite me. Out of 5 games Anderson shot above his season average just ONCE. That means he shot less than that 80% of the time but sit there and be asking me Jamb question. Someone had 18 attempts in 3 games and then just 6 in the subsequent 2 games. A 3 shot per game drop! or did you expect him not to receive the ball at all? Anyway keep repeating your narrative till you are blue in the face. You that liken Nenê to McGee is not who I need to prove anything to, No offense. No be you see Götze dey miss chance for 6th minute for match wey e enter after 70+ minutes. Despite your pedantry you have still failed spectacularly I might add to disprove Anderson shot beneath his regular season average.

You openly claimed Houston woulda beaten OKC even without Beverley. This is with his impressive contributions on offense. You watched the series kwa? But you can't show who defended better. Yet Beverley was not a factor. This is Political Telemundo

The experts paid to gather this data took the time to separate Beverley's defense from that of his teammates but you are here telling Old Wives Tales. Show stats with the double and triple teams. Ariwo ko ni music.

Maybe in your NBA 2K16 game. Westbrook woulda averaged even 450ppg but in the real world. Westbrook shot 25% from the field with Beverley as his defender. FACT

You keep hollerin system. No be players go execute am? Which system is capable of making Pau Gasol good on defense?

Harden and Westbrook essentially have the same 3pt differential between their teammates. Normal FG a 4% difference. Which becomes less profound when you realize Westbrook took more shots. The point is with Westbrook being heavily defended like you claim. Why are his teammates not shooting at a higher clip? Why are they barely shooting better?

Why would Westbrook outscore the entire team? Even M.J didn't do that FFS. How do you even conjure this type of megedefegede?

I don't need to show you his +/- in the fourth. OKC outscore Houston by 16 with Westbrook on the floor they are -58 without him. That shows to any objective human being that he is at least doing his part and more than his fair share to help the team win.
