I really expected more from ime and the rockets despite KD's absence for whatever reason. Immediately they blew that lead in the final minutes of game 3 I knew they would be taken apart in overtime. Even little chap bronny was scoring buckets off the bench. Regarding KD talent will always never be enough just look at James in contrast

Why they did not think to get a PG is beyond me. At least give yourself a fighting chance

So far so good Harry Kane p.k

Luis Diaz again all I will say is thank you Liverpool. Olise might get all the hype but Diaz is the engine of that attack

Mitchell. Brick

Are the Cavs really going to blow this game. Damn. Couldn't even bring the ball up half court


Draymond was right, KD really a bxtch. Any GM silly enough to trade for this cupcake deserves whatever he gets from this diva. Losing is one thing but at least stand as a man with your team and go down with the ship. Missing 3 games from a possible 4 with a fake injury is pathetic

If the entire league had any code they would leave him on the Rockets and if he don't play next season then he will have to retire. His bitchiness should not be rewarded by allowing him jump on another contender team

Ingram and Mitchell are having a Brick-off. Jesus Christ

38-36 Halftime

Playoff ball too funny. 12-17 first quarter

This is what happens when you dont play playoff basketball, too much time for iranu.

Klay sef messop. Meg is a babe you chop and clean mouth.

That's not someone you take any type of seriously as a super paid man

Cos #1 her music and what she represents is not what any self respecting black man ought to find acceptable.

#2 Her insufferable and parasocial fans that think they can heaux around till their 30s and find a Russell Resthaven to erase their nonsense. They have already begun attacking him because he has crushed their dreams and brought them back to reality

Pathetic display by Joker and the Nuggets. They play soft, they are coached soft. Where was that aggro from Jokic when McDaniels called your entire squad out after Game 3? Why did your pride not kick in then? I saw him move faster to shove McDaniels than he did all game.

They will need to blow that team up.

Still finding a way to lose that game after the letdown of serious injuries to Divincenzo and Antman shows how spineless and weak this team is. Michael Malone is probably in Chapel Hill laughing

SmooshCHN:
I have no pity for them. What were they thinking getting Fred Vanvleet as PG to begin with?

You can call KD spineless but those burner tweer were legit. Dude has no business being the "mature" vet; he just wants to ball and smoke.

For a player his caliber. That is not good enough.

You can't put yourself in the conversation with the Steph's, LeBron's etc without leading teams.

If OKC gets to another Finals SGA has passed him already, hell to OKC fans SGA has passed him when they won the chip that KD didn't

KD is now a man without a country. And unless the Warriors are feeling generous it is entirely realistic that KD might not have his jersey retired anywhere

aliondo:
Irrespective of the great love I have for KD, you spoke the truth, boss.....

His behavior since leaving the Warriors really says a lot. How are you in year 19 surrounded by guys almost half your age and you still say you don't want to lead but then you want to insert yourself in the conversation with the greats

He really thinks putting the ball in the hoop is the only thing that cements players in the greatness pantheon

Unfortunately Warriors winning that chip in 2022 cements Charles Barkley claim that he is a bus rider. Losing is one thing but this guy quit on his team

Roland17:
The Rockets were silly for not getting a PG going into the playoffs.

McCollum was right there. Could have gotten Schroeder. Anybody

Problem is guys like Ime are a victim of their good coaching. They will coach up mid till when it becomes crunch time and mid will revert to it's level. Now he will look like someone that doesn't know what he's doing.

Their record in OT this season is 1-7

Franz Wagner. A lot of people slept on this Magic team fr but this is their 3rd straight playoffs and Banchero-Bane-Wagner with a healthy Suggs will make things interesting

I smell an upset. But then again just like the Rockets and Lakers series it seems one team was grossly underrated and the other team grossly overrated

Magic blew a 15pt lead in the 4th. Wow

Cade Cunningham having an over my dead body type of game

Playoffs ball will show you that AC no be fan. Jalen Duren looking really funny in the light

birdman:
its not your fault

rockets are punching above their weight class in the west, their record does not reflect reality yet. Fans dont realize how long it took OKC to build. aliondo can enlighten folks. They also cant appreciate how long it has taken the lakers to get back to winning ways, after disatrously blowing up the championship team. I wouldnt panic and blow it up - I would keep the coach, and some minor retool. We are almost there...

You guys are the cautionary tale to overrating your talent and taking the shortcut to success.

I kept hearing Sengun was baby Jokic all this time

This joker cannot shoot, cannot defend and does not have no post game. I couldn't imagine what a Shaq or Shawn Kemp would do this cupcake

Kevin Durcan't turns 38 this year and unlike LeBronze who takes his peds regimen serious (*wink* *wink*) word on the street is KD's idea of recovery is good old fashioned igbeaux. So Rockets have to think long and hard if they want to extend this marriage. I say end it as you're not a KD away from a chip. Look for a desperate team that he can bandwagon and bus ride to a chip

He owes Charles Barkley an apology

Roland17:
I just checked. Michael Naaa bro! Nothing when she wan tell me. Are you kidding me? I hope her husband gets a DNA done asap because that breakfast dey cook!

When the story broke out and she was trying hard to explain, I knew something was off. Her previous comments about her marriage did not help either.

Omo make dem two just forget about their careers. Mike is definitely losing that job, the pressure and distraction will be too much for R. Kraft and the Patriots.

They're playing in that husband's face. She better be careful cos I don't know why you would feel comfortable constantly humiliating that man on live TV and now we have proof you have been playing away match since 2020.

It's why you gotta cut a broad off over disrespect cos she's either already cheating or will cheat

I don't expect him to lose his job sha cos even the owner get him own scandal. Plus he's a really good coach and ex Pat. All he need to do is lay low and hope nothing crazy come out.

Denying and down playing was their first mistake. Especially when evidence yapa

etidy:
The KD sexuals have been awfully quiet.

The rockets team is obviously very flawed and he got injured at the wrong time.
But what this series has demonstrated is the Gulf in the leadership skills & basketball IQ between Lebron and KD.

I don't even believe KD injured fr. I think he quit

Sixers dey drag am rough with your Celtics oh Roland

Ibime:
We know why he ducked the fade

Cos Kendrick has a machine behind him, a gullible public, uses bots and has played the West coast card in the beef. You can't beef with a Ninja playing West Coast card when you only have Fayetteville card. It was not a battle about skill.

My guy what machine Kendrick get wey the rest no get?

They all have machine that's why they are mainstream. A guy like Phonte would go blow for blow with any of them but he has no machine

Cole is the least problematic of all 3 and IMO has the most loyal followers. They would not have left him hanging if say e put body

larride:
Cam Johnson stans wan comot my shirt for X.

They want Nugget to trade Watson for him. Lol

Massive disappointment is putting it mildly with him. He seems to be one of those guys that is happy to just be in the middle. Not carrying the team when the #1 or #2 option is struggling. Just happy with his 8pts 2 rebounds

Let's see if Celtics will spam another 50 3s today or use their common sense and mix up their shot selection


Kevin Durcan't out for the Rockets. That guy is one shameless nigga. Quitting on his team like that. After all that nonsense he was chatting on his burner. A game you have to win to survive you have to be out there.

CrystalTiger:
Nigerian politicians are very lucky walai lol..

We're now at the point of doing photo ops for branded pants.. There's no low that's too low for the average Nigerian..

Line up, sew asoebi to collect branded pant from governor's wife lmao

Where did we go wrong as a people? I won't put this on poverty cos there are countries and people poorer than Nigeria

Is it Stockholm Syndrome or just endemic mental illness. I don't even understand

Ibime:
It gets even better from the 2nd half of the first disk. From WHO TF IZ U to the end of disk 2, it's straight 🔥

I just started the second part. The Fall Off Video. And I trowey salute. Elite storytelling. My favorite aspect of rap.

Yeah he definitely took his time to cook this. The production, the variety and numerous ways he switched up flows, switched up cadence.

As someone that always preferred Cole on features than his own full length albums this is definitely his magnum opus

Makes his backing out of the Kendrick beef even more puzzling because this album clears GNX easily and he brags about how he can smoke anyone. This album clearly showed that. So why the hell did he duck the fade? Strange guy 🤷🏾‍♂️

No Gordon. The Nuggets are in schitt's creek without a paddle.

Just their luck that the only competent defenders they happen to have just so happens to be hurt

Jokic cannot go out like this though. He will need to dig really deep cos the Timberwolves just own them atp.

And Cam Johnson it seems the only positive of that trade was dumping MPJ's contract. His ceiling is non existent. At least MAGA Mike was a good rebounder and in some games went on heaters. This dude seems content with his 10 pts 2 rebounds on 6 shots. Not guarding nobody just doing fine boy for court.

Roland17:
Last season, I remember saying Brunson wasn’t it for me and folks argued otherwise. I said he plays way too much ISO and doesn’t make his team mates better. He is constantly trying to foul bait rather than play basketball. Did you see how CJ singled him and picked him apart on defense. As hard as they tried, he kept searching him out on ISOs and burned them.

Kerr needs to join Doc. These guys need to move on from coaching. If health did force the Spurs, they would have continued with Pop who had held back Wemby. This is the same Pop that was playing J. Sochan as PG!

He's just too small. Any team with a half decent guard will fry them on the other end so he gives up almost as many as he scores. You're basically 4 on 5 on the defensive end. Genetics did him a bad one

Kerr does not want to stay for a rebuild. The Warriors are not sure they want to rebuild. They were still under the illusion that they have a Championship window which is why they traded for Jimmy Butler who turns 37 this year and added Al Horford.

The reality has hit Kerr that 39 y.o Steph, 37 y.o Dray and 37 y.o Jimmy won't cut it

Roland17:
Another important life lesson from the Roby & Mayowa story.:

Men, try get correct friend like Timi Dakolo!

Throughout the interview Roby talked about the role Timi played during his darkest moments.

Timi stood by his guy, supported his guy, traveled with him, borrow am car, ensured he was always good, never judged him..

And nobody hear pim..

Timi u b correct guy

One thing I go always advice niggas, no too put mind for LDR even woman under your nose na 50/50 talkless of woman wey you no fit fly go see anytime and also have some standards and hard boundaries. This will save you from the crashout I've been saying lately by men. The Virginia Lt Governor wey kpai himself kpai the wife or that animal for Louisiana that killed 8 kids.

I looked up the woman he dey cry about and I just dey shake my head. Crying publicly over a strong 3 is definitely a choice. He's probably searched himself and seen that he has given that babe wetin she no deserve. That epiphany of him fooling na him dey lead to that cry

This is why Simps and Simpin really annoy me. All that money e dey funnel to that woman is money e for use dey tidy himself. And what many men do not realize is that as a man nobody go sorry for you when you rundown, only you go wet for inside rain. E get why Widower's ministry no dey for church

Btw did you see the Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini . These guys have been cutting up since at least 2020. She had a son in 2021. Guess the son's name. Just take a wild guess

@ A40

Have you heard J Cole fall off album?

That's the best rap album in over 2 decades

Ok you might be on to something. Listened to the first 7 tracks, no filler thus far and Legacy is definitely one of the best stuff I've heard in that timeframe above.

I see my girl Tems on there, I'm so happy she never went the pangolo route like the Ayra Starr, Yemi Alade dem dem wey just waste their fine voice with Awilo megedefegede pattern instead of balancing and dropping hooks that go nuclear like Tems did on Essence

TemporaryHansel:
Lol unnecessary fear. This is like being scared of buying stocks because they might crash. The stuff is even reversible if something like that actually happens and it's necessary for you to have another kid in the future.

Are you a urologist or healthcare specialist? I hear a lot of non medical personnel utter this line and my Dr friends typically rebuff this claim

@ A40

Have you heard J Cole fall off album?

2 decades??

No I haven't. You mean you sat down and listened to all 24 tracks?? That already looks daunting to me

I will listen to it with open mind though and get back to you. Track 2 sounds tuff though

Brunson. You're not that guy pal. And CJ my goodness. The Rockets could definitely have used him

Goddamn Jokic. The Timberwolves have him in Gitmo. This is the most confused and inefficient I've ever seen Joker. After all that smack talk by McDaniels I was expecting the Nuggets to say "over my dead body" and come out pissed off. The Timberwolves just might on

A big F.U to that Steph Curry merchant Steve Kerr as well wey wan ruin Kuminga career. This joker does not know what to do with any young guy. Playing mid Podz and killing Kuminga with DNPs

Roland17:
They are really hanging on. I think they can still play 2 more seasons. The issue is, their rosters are still built around their them but their body can barely hold up.

Guys like KD, Steph and to a lesser extent Ajala are still corner pieces of how their offense play and that is too much for them. I mean KD averaged 26 this regular season, that is going to be difficult to give up.

While they have their issues, I will always give their generation a lot of credit for what they have done for this era of basketball.

Your Penguins lost to the Flyers..

It's truly complex cos they should have been pushed out of the league by now but majority of the new era of players are just not that good. It is almost stupid not to keep playing and getting that check.

It's why I take special offense to that whole athletes today are "bigger, stronger, faster" trope. Just look at that joker Sengun yesterday. Can't shoot and is not dominating the paint.

It's hard not to respect the longevity of these guys but we also have to acknowledge that they are not getting much resistance

It's playoff hockey between intra state rivals. Home advantage counts for nothing tbh.
