Btw can we officially give Kevin Durant the dirty player tag? I know he is trying to be tough but he and the OKC are going about it the wrong way

I was actually close to tears http://sports.yahoo.com/news/stephen-curry-s-latest-injury-teaches-warriors-lesson-about-fragility-of-title-chase-035629038.html?partner=CHEETAH&.gg_forward=true

They should have given him the series off. Let the other players know they are on their own and take it as a challenge. Just look at what the Celts are doing without Bradley, never mind the Warriors who have depth

What is phacking wrong with the Warriors and why are they trying so hard to piss their title defense away? They have enough to get past Houston and overreacted because of a 1pt loss over a basket that shouldn't have counted?

They do not need Curry to get past the Rockets and if I were Iggy, Klay, Draymond and Livingston I would be offended by the team and Curry's lack of trust in us

We already lost our draft pick (part of the harden deal i think) and I have a feeling in 2 yrs Harden is out once his contract is up. Dwight is probably gone this year.

I say we have a good chance at Durant and Horford. Pau should be opting out this year I think, so if he doesnt end up in memphis with his bro, I think htown, with its huge hispanic population may give us a second look (same for Horford too).

Finally, I have a feeling the GM Morey will be taking a fall for this mess (and he is digging his grave by over-tweeting), and we will likely get a coach that also doubles as a GM or something like that. JVG is supposedly a top candidate, but the last time they fired him in a very low down manner. Lets see how much money buys JVG's forgiveness

Durant won't come to Houston. It would be borderline stoopid to come to Houston sans Harden when the Celtics and Wizards have a younger roster and maybe an easier road to the Finals

Horford is a more realistic target but won't turn you to contenders either. Now if you could just move Dwight, Pau would be a solid guy to pair with Harden. You could even get a few solid mid level veterans on board too

Note I do think Harden is a bit overrated but you guys are a D-League team without him to put it mildly

JVG is a bad idea, can't teach an old dog new tricks. You guys need to take a chance on someone new, maybe Walton

Solid showing today. The lineup had me queasy especially at the back with Rafinha and Kimmich toggling positions like FIFA

All in all I think we did good. Götze, Thiago looked sharp in the middle

And yeah a spectacular Golazo and Traum Tor by Douglas Costa btw. He needs to unleash some of that against Atleti

I watched them today and I am pretty sure we can knock them out with an away goal or two. The dream scenario would be for us to get the first goal. That should be the aim. Either via set-pieces or open play Godin's absence really means our crosses need to be peng. We have netted 3 goals via headers, gotta add to that number if we can

Schalke vs Leverkusen. What a game though. Them been wan give me B.P till the real BBC showed up. Hehehehe

Well played Dortmund. Prolonging the inevitable

The Raptors. Lmao get Drake in there! How did they win 56. They are out-trashing the Pacers rn

birdman:
we should sell while his stock is high

Hypothetically who would you get?

Roland17:
Accord me my due for calling the perfect change in line up

Yeah you were spot on. Though you also have to admit Isaiah was unconscious. I'm taller than this dude but what he does on the court I can't in my wildest dreams. I hope he makes All NBA team. He should be in the 2nd or at the very worst 3rd

Roland17:
I would start Evan Turner no question, we have started very late in both series and have struggled to make buckets.

Wow you guys aren't phucking around

Didn't Valencia put €50m on Mustafi?

Anyway not a fan of Hummels coming back to Bayern

Keen to see who we field vs Hertha. Personally I'd rest Müller, Vidal, Alaba, Lahm and allow Götze or Coman audition for a potential start vs Atleti

Yeah we can't have Ribery start that match

addempsea:
Bro, u was right. They are playing as if they are happy they are not getting swept.

They are a yo-yo team. When they are good they look like contenders but when they are bad they are a mess to watch

Nihilist:
Seems like this MMA is here to stay sha.

At a previous job, my manager was so into the sport that he used to fight white collar and then come into work with koko and bandage.

I didn't really rate it until someone at my current place of employment put me on to Anderson Silva and Jon Jones.

Now I can't get enough

MMA is very much here to stay. Boxing don turn WWE for my eye. The Mayweather vs Pacman fight only reinforced my belief

Go and watch how Teixeira brutalized Rashad Evans just recently

Or Overeem decimated Junior Dos Santos

Those guys are savages

olabode89:
Lmao!

Correct! You b MMA devoted fan or just a casual fan?

I dey watch MMA pass boxing these days. Overeem vs Lesnar about 5 years back na him hook me

Draymond Green. Lmaooo

Birdman. This is why you keep Harden

Poor movement off that Klay Thompson play by the Warriors

Btw I told you guys the Pacers weren't legit

Lol I been think say Wrestlemania don pass.
Abi na UFC 200 be this?

Lordave:
3 man central defence would be preferable.

Boateng Martinez Benatia

Lahm and Alaba at the back wings.

Vidal and Thiago(We need creativity in the midfield, we need someone to deliver killer passes from the midfield, we can't just rely on Costa and Lahm's crossings to beat Atletico who are quite good in aerial balls.)

Costa Lewandoski and Muller

Not a bad formation at all. Only problem is Boateng has missed 3 months of football. If he can go this weekend then he is definitely a contender for Wednesday

Cavs won with 3pt shooting. It also helps when your opponent's center is 4/20 from the free throw line
So far looking at the East it looks like the Heat are the only ones that can compete

Cuban better break the bank for Whiteside. I don't get how a franchise looking to make it past the first round would be looking at Dwight at this point

Godin picked up a thigh/hamstring injury. Looks pretty serious
Dortmund leading in their semifinal as well

MRBrownJ:
ok bro, lets agree to disagree... as usual, this season aint any better than all the past ones where we had our own views on many different subjects, and so long as it is a mature debate, its all good.

catch you next week for the Barhain race.

Bruhhhh don't tell me you have given up on Alonslow so soon? The season is still young and you still have 18 races to groan about another lost year. It must eat at him to see the Ferrari he left, the Red Bull he spurned compete while he is trapped in F1 purgatory

On a serious note its looking like a Rosberg year though I'm hopeful he suffers some bad luck at some point. My boy Vettel should be leading this title race. Ham has been unconvincing and getting routinely beat on race day so far

The Chinese GP was awesome. Best race I've seen in a while

Mizzzbeee:
Skip Bayless is a big idiot for this www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2cbc9rpMvU

Lmaoo. Btw he and Stephen A Smith I don't know who is the bigger noisemaker

raumdeuter:
Though Alonslow is susceptible to counter but I still prefer the height and physicality he offers over Thiagos sleekiness

The away game we need to score a goal, Atletico wouldnt mind 0-0 at home. We need as many away goals as possible

Ordinarily I would have gone with Thiago but Alonso is our deadliest set-piece taker. Guys like Müller, Javi and Benatia can take advantage of his deliveries

Another conundrum is who starts between Coman and Franck. Ribery was rubbish last night. Some stuff he did I'd expect from Bebe or Oxlade Chamberlain

Roland17:
Brad Stevens would be beating his head because the starting line up selection was poor.

I never get chance respond to that your post. I like your optimism but I just think the loss of Bradley is too much for the Celts to recover. In him you lost your 2nd best player and best perimeter defender

I'm curious as to who you would have put in Bradley's place

Mynd44:
I dont see OKC or Clippers giving Spurs issues.

Clippers go give you issues ooh

raumdeuter:
Ideally I would have preferred the

Lahm--Benatia--Boatank--Alaba
--Martinez-Vidal

Combo for defence to midfield but at this point I just want 2 of the 3 Martinez, benatia, Boateng in Central defence

we need to nulify atleti aerial threat

We would most likely see Javi at the back beside Benatia. Boateng I am not sure can start in the first leg after missing 3 months.

The koko is who pairs Vidal in midfield. Thiago or Alonso

Na Goetze and Lewandowski remain. Though Lewa's case isn't so pressing

P&G Deutschland join the Bayern family

Lmaoo the Celtics scored 7pts after the 1st quarter

I'd prefer Alaba on the flanks obviously. The key is who partners him on the left. Hopefully not Ribery

The koko now is does Benatia start this weekend? He really needs to build up his match sharpness. He's been stop n go all-season

pelvicky:
pep finally gave your boy a start



hope his performance deserve a start in UCL final

Igbayi laaro. He don crush the boy confidence finish. Let's see though

We really didn't play too well. Got given a laughable penalty and I'm just hopeful we step up vs Atleti

Berlin bound. Now to fight for Milan
Thomas Mueller with his 150th and 151st for Bayern

Yeah I dey follow that ninja. That's how I got the info

Also said we are meeting with BVB over Götze. Smh

Second half underway. Müller with the goal thanks to an Alonso corner

Gotta hope Boateng gets to a 100 quickly. Alaba at CB dey give me palpitations

The TANK is back in training

Rumor has it we have signed some 16 year old from Luxembourg. He would play with the U-19's till 2018

Yo was Kevin Durant trying to build another Petronas Tower with all those bricks

birdman:
Spurs and Clippers are old school type teams. Like GSW, Houston has tons f players that can play multiple positions, like we have forwards that can play small ball act as stretch 4s, knocking down 3s reliably (Jsmoove, Ariza) - in that sense Houston is a constant matchup nightmare. And I believe this is the direction the league is going - a team of with lots of positionless players

Yep, everyone is waiting for gsw/clippers series. I've been saying the clippers will make things difficult for GSW. They will win imo. Clippers ran into a houston team that was hard to prepare for last year. This year, the door is wide open.

How are you a matchup nightmare for a team that has been beaten you 14 times in 15 attempts? Its like saying Arsenal are a matchup problem for Barcelona. I wouldn't play Ariza at the 4 either

Clippers pissed that series away. After beating the Spurs and going 3-1 up vs the Rockets they had no reason not to seal the deal

I think the Clippers would worry the Warriors for sure but they still have the DeAndre Jordan problem. Can you leave him on late in a close game? Their best defender is Luc Mbah' a Moute who is minus 1 on offense. How do you ration his minutes
