Lol. Even Hawks fans know the refs helped them. Even with blowing 26 point lead Cavs could've still won if the right calls were been made.

You really want KD to get a ring just like that. I hope it doesn't happen yet

Lmaoo. How isn't that a jumpball and what do the refs stand to gain whistling against the whiny Cavs? You can see that Kyrie was pinned with absolutely nowhere to go. A terrible inbound pass or maybe Kyrie not being in sync cos the pass was thrown behind him. It woulda been a crying disgrace if the refs had blown a whistle there. Besides I didn't see Cavs fans complaining of injustice when Richard Jefferson tripped KD on Christmas Day

He is the type of common foool we see in Nigeria. They will be celebrating Okocha doing rainbow flick over Maldini, they will be celebrating Okocha dribbled Oliver Kahn 20 times to score a goal. All of them are retired now. Maldini is rated as one of the best defenders the game ever saw, Kahn is one of the best keepers the game ever saw

What happened to Okochas 15mins of fame?

Lmao. Ahmed Musa at the last World Cup wey dey follow Messi taka nko? Instead of worrying about CL and World cup winners let him come and explain how Heung Min Son is sodomizing the EPL from Tottenham's bench

raumdeuter:
Its apoche cra cra now, A fool and his money are easily separated

A world cup CL winning defender

Nna ehh. I don tire! If he like make he no hear word. Central defence is not where you can hide a mediocre player and consistently expect to win titles or compete

airmark:
That's how you always get it wrong. Did azmoun, a non-football playing nation juvenile, not sodomise your world cup and cl winner ? Did hidden ikebe hazard not destroy mustafi, a world cup winner? We still remember how he cut into pieces 3 bayern ucl winners and legends within 3 secs. How many times must we tell you not to use team's achievement to mainly rate players?

You always analyze football from a very myopic viewpoint. I don't know what other tool I can use to help you. What was Ikebe and Azmoun's achievements after their 15 minutes of fame? Trophies are won due to consistent excellent performances not flashes in the pan.

That is why Hidden Hazard has only scored 2 goals from open play in CL football after 5 seasons. That is why Azmoun is still a non-entity. This is what I have been drilling into your head since Day 1

airmark:
Hummels has done well. He can go and rest, boathand thought he was smart. It must be boathand and javi. How i wish real has a swift striker like belotti or suarez. I cant wait to see what boathand has for us after that azzmoun stunt.

Lol are we talking about World Cup and CL winning Boateng? You make it sound like its some rookie coming to play. He's used to this just like Future and Drake. Don't bet against Bayern sha to avoid stories that touch. You've been warned

raumdeuter:
Boateng is one card away from suspension I am not comfortable with Alaba or Kimmich in CB vs BBC

Ideally for this game I would have loved to have Hummels and Boateng in CB. Boateg for speed and Hummels to counter the Madrid aerial prowess. While Martinez plays DM

Now we have to manage the game carefully we cannot afford to concede a goal at home. Then Alonso has to be careful not to get caught on the ball by Modric

Alaba and Lahm have to co-ordinate their overlaps and not leave room for Ronaldo and Bale behind them

--Lahm--Martinez--Boatank--Alaba
----------Alonso---Vidal
-------------Thiago
--Robben---Lewy-----Ribery

I was giving a worst case scenario. I don't really think anybody would be happy with BBC facing Alaba or Kimmich but in the event that Boateng picks a card and Hummels cannot play the 2nd leg then that might become our reality. Not forgetting that Javi is dicey as well.

I have prepared myself for any eventuality and it would be a miracle if we don't concede. Wolfsburg shut out Madrid last year sha. However if we keep them to just 1 goal and we are able to score like 3 then that would be awesome. Whatever happens in Munich we are still likely going to have to score in Madrid anyway

We are fairly covered on the left because I know Franck would always cover Alaba. I also would like to see if Lahm and Robben can capitalize on Ronaldo's allergy to track back

Donlittle:
The warriors choked, and I haven't forgiven those guys. The joy I get when Lebron losses, that last year finals men, I don't even trust the warriors this year. They might still choke again. So I am not shouting till someone other than the cavs get the trophy

Naa I think the Warriors have learned their lesson. They are humbler now and going about their business a lot more quietly this year. They have lost just 14 games this year and yet no one is even talking about them. Their performance without KD really impressed me. If they get out that West I'd put my money on them beating the Cavs

Upnepaa:
I was about to support Bayern for the upcoming games,until I heard about your injury list too bad !!!



I pray CR7 and co doesn't victimize your defence,
As a barca fan sha,I will want Bayern to oust Madrid in this quarters...

I pray lewy and neur recover on time as well.

Assuming Neur,Hummels and lewy doesn't play who are the viable substitute to replace them
Cc A40 , Raumdeuter et al

Müller should but he also has issues. I am 95% certain Lewandowski would be fit.

We have Boateng and Javi, even Alaba or Kimmich can fill in at CB if need be

Donlittle:
I don't think the east is wide open lol. Cavs will 90 percent breeze through. Still watching though. We go see

Everything is based on belief but you are right. Cavs should breeze through ordinarily but they have lost 30 games. 30! Someone in that East just needs to Believe they can beat Cleveland come playoff time.

Do you recall 2011 playoffs? The Lakers were even stronger than this Cavs team but guess what? The Mavs swept them. The Cavs ain't relinquishing the crown. Someone has to take it by force and looking at the Cavs this year its the perfect storm. Lebron's minutes would catch up with him at some point

Thunder would be wise to rest Westbrook these last two games. Seeing this Denver vs OKC game it be like say this choking don dey turn to epidemic

The Hawks were 26pts down going into the 4th.
No lead is ever safe. I had a whole new level of understanding and appreciation for that saying today. First of all if u didn't see that game you wouldn't really understand how badly the Hawks played. And the funniest part is that the Hawks had at least 3 shots to end that game in regular time. Coming from seeing the Thunder and the Warriors blowing 3-1 leads to Barca vs PSG to Patriots vs Falcons this was the worst

I have to keep asking the Warriors how they fuqin lost to these guys.

@lolawilliams
Please come and explain this L babydoll

The word from Hummels himself is he is out for a minimum of two games.

These injuries are turning to another thing. I'm just hoping Lewa would be a 100%.

I also heard Boa is a card away from suspension

I was going to commend Agent Kroos on a job well done for breaking Pepe's ribs. Only to find out Hummels has hurt his ankle in training and its not looking good. Now I have just one phuckin question. Why the fuq are they training on a Sunday when we had a match yesterday?

Lordave:
Boateng and Hummels may start but Javi has to fit in somewhere, he ain't match rusty and his fitness could bring something to the table.

I suspect Carlo would go for Javi and Hummels. Frankly so long as they get the job done. Still a bit weary of their performance against Arsenal, I wasn't convinced

Lordave:
Lewy with a bruised shoulder, nothing serious.


Pepe with a broken rib.

Make we just dey pray for Müller and Neuer. I heard Ramos and Modric are a booking away from suspension

KD is BACKK!!! Booyaka for the bad people them. As my nigga General S.E.A would say on Snapchat

usbcable:
I dedicate this loss to all my Barca friends.

I request a DJ to play me Sunny Okosuns "which way Nigeria" song for this loss to clam their nerves down.

Barca ti gba penalty lo throw-in

Lordave:
Thiago and Robben should be taken off too.


Ribery might start ahead of Costa on Wednesday.

Ribery rolled back the years today. I really was impressed. Can he replicate on Wednesday I don't know but I'd still start him ahead of Costa. I cool down watch that Madrid game and Carvajal is suspect. If Alaba and Ribery link up properly we can have real joy on that left.

We must be very careful with setpieces. Not that we need much reminders about that but in Toni Kroos Madrid now have the deadliest set piece deliverer in the game. Period

I'm hearing Pepe and Varane might be out but of course that odaaran Sergio Ramos still dey

I just hope we can bring this intensity vs Madrid. The way we started the two halves I can't explain it. It was some Hiroshima + Nagasaki, John Woo shyte.

I don't know the Babalawo that kept Robben fit this long but I hope he keeps up the good work.

Vidal is our midfield version of Diego Costa, can't do with him, can't do without him especially in big games like vs Madrid. We would need all the steel we can get from him vs Casemiro, Modric and Kroos. At the same time o lati fi opolo se. He had a very good game for me sha

Boateng and Hummels should start vs Madrid IMO. Whichever way we are going to need his athleticism as we saw today and those long range dimes too

Lewandowski has confirmed he would be good by Wednesday. However we have to buy a backup in the summer. Either his prototype or a wing forward. Its lowkey embarrassing that we have just 1 out and out 9. Our reliance on him is not sustainable

Bruhh the upsets today mehn. If u are the type that puts your money on the long shots you would be bussing your dance at the cash machine. The last 4 minutes of that Cavs vs Hawks game was madness

Looks like Neuer and Müller would be back in time for the Madrid game. Douglas Costa is a Go for tomorrow and Lewandowski has confirmed he is OK.

Ideally I would rest all our starters but Carlo is having none of it. On the flipside I'd hate for us to go into the Madrid game on the back of 2 straight losses so I see his point. Let's just hope the players come out unscathed.

That dude always playing soft. His assists are great for a Center but its useless when he does not have the ability to lead and galvanize his team to a W. This guy was taking long range J's over and over like he was Dirk Nowitzki or something. If I were Thomas, Crowder or Bradley I go don change am for am.

Shame on the Mavs front office too for trading the future for Rondo. Seeing Crowder blossom for the Celts while we parade D-League players on a nightly is unbearable. The day Nowitzki leaves that team I am done fam

bigkesh:
He is not wrong


Morata scored in all knockout stages except the final with Juventus the year they lost to Barca

I think it is even every knockout game except the Final

He scored in the Final

See your Horford again oh. You are playing your old team.

Roland17:
We must not take anything away from the Cavs. In my opinion, the Cavs reminded the league and possible usurpers in the cnference why they have dominated the conference and the league by extension. They have LeWhine on their roster, and he changes a alot of the dynamics on the court.
We finished the 1st Quarter with a one point lead, then Queen Jame happened. He was unstoppable, especially for someone who claims he did not care where the Cavs finished the regular season. I have seen LeWhine in that mode before, he just wants to be demonic and dominates the 2nd quarter.

While i agree with your opinion about Big Al, this is not just about Big Al, the mentality of that roster is quite fragile. Big Al is floor spacer, however, the space is useless when you lack perimeter shooting. I don't recollect the numbers but we were horrendous shooting the ball. Defensively we could not protect the weak side, players were sneaking behind the top to make easy layups. Isaiah is our best player, the strength of this team is the intensity we play with and on a night the Irish joker appears we knock down our jumpers, but it was not to be.

Personally, i hope the Cavs win the conference, because i am worried we would struggle against a rejuvenated Pacers, who i think would clinch the 8th spot.

Far from it. I have always maintained that the Raptors and Celtics were punching above their weight. The Celts have come a long way from getting swept without Kevin Love just 2 years ago. You have no one on your roster that can slow down Lebron.

However I expected a guy like Horford to take advantage of Channing Frye for goodness sake. We can't be talking of floor spacing when Horford should be in the paint victimizing Frye. A max contract player should be able to warn Lue that Frye should not play if we meet in the playoffs. I don't expect much from Smart, Mavs reject Crowder and Amir Johnson who couldn't hack it with the Pistons. On a night shots aren't falling a big like Horford should be making his presence felt against a backup Power Forward playing Center

Al Horford could only drop 8 pts against Channing goddamn Frye. I was telling Roland the other day this guy ain't playing to his size or contract. Even their record is because Isaiah has been balling outta his mind. We shall see if Horford pulls his own weight in the playoffs but from what I've seen from his days with the Hawks I'm not counting on it

Lmao just see how Porzingis put him on Shaqtin a Fool on Sunday

Chelseafan1:
You no cool down last season when hin dey 'lana' for league last season ni.

Una call am all sorta name.

Of course. Because he was performing even below his local champion level last season. Him mate dey Europe dey run things

Welp. Can't get too far when your best player is 5'9

Chelseafan1:
Haazardeeeeeen!!!!! Omo ologo, how far A40, u dey see better pikin dey disgrace your ex coach?

Bros you no go cool down make your Hidden Local Champion first start to perform for Europe

Eruditor:
Hahahaha. They thought they were the best backcourt in the NBA Wall and Beal. I always knew they were not mentally ready and I said so earlier. Cavs will still come out of the east but it won't be the 12-2 they did last time. I saw Wall also got fined for complaining about refs and the FT disparity between Wizards and Jazz in that L.

Its funny because they are in that spot Golden State was 3 years ago. Just at the brink of contention. They have a very nice mix and need to realize nobody is going to hand them that title even in the East. The mere fact that they have been complaining in unison just says it all. You don't haemorrhage almost 140pts and get to whine about what the other team did. They earned the right to stunt on you if they so please since you didn't have shame

Kyrie is flashier I don't know about better CP3 would certainly have something to say about that
