[quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Ya Lebron Envy Is Epic. The Same All World Immortal Shane Battier that Let Melo Drop Half a Buck{50} on Him?[/quote]Only that Melo has been taking dumps on the Heat all season long! Their regular season record is 3-1 in favor of the Knicks remember? [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Lmao@You Writing....Lebron isn't even the Best Defender on the Heat.[/quote]But he isn't! Battier and Haslem are better (Lebron can't guard an offensively competent Power Forward neither can Bosh only Haslem can do that job) [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]You Sure that Wasn't a Typo To? ![]() [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]LeBron = Most Versatile Defender in the League[/quote]False! [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Lebron = Best SF Defender in the League[/quote]False again |
n0m0705: Maybe you should change the name to spanish football award. What has cazorla done to merit nomination, accepted he is good,but he has not been outstanding, he is always overshadowed by wilshere anytime wilshere is on the field. And you are here doubting carrick who has been an outstanding and consistent performer for united this season. if anyone is going to come close to being nominated in that arsenal team he should be arteta, he's been the silent backbone of that team, just like carrick.A player has scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists in his first season from midfield and you are asking me what he has done to deserve nomination? Wilshere ko crutches ni! How many games has he even played? Wilshere can never be as technically gifted as Cazorla is! Only people consumed by English hype would compare Carrick's performance to Cazorla's this season Cazorla is the hub! Everything at Arsenal goes through him |
[quote author=Alyricist★Laura] ^ I didn't Write That^ I wrote.. Two Completely Different Comparisons. & You have to compare athletes of Equal Skill Level, To make it correlate. Hence the reason why i compared the likes of Rod Woodson to Deion Sanders, Two Immortals[/quote]Ninja be shifting the goal post! Whether equal skill level or not the key thing is player's with superior technique and average athleticism always triumphs in the end! They wind up with more titles and have longer careers [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Jordan vs Bird...Two Immortals. Ronaldo vs Zidane...Two Immortals Of Equal Skill Level, but differing levels of Technique and Athleticism[/quote]Who told you Ronaldo and MJ had average technique? Lol iz u smoking reefer? MJ's technique is what made him consistent for 14 years Ronaldo was not a phenomenon because of his athleticism! Look up niggas like Denilson who had raw skill and athleticism but no technique [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Comparing Bums Like Kenyon Martin To Tim Duncan is Completely Outside of Comparable Logic & Does Not Correlate. Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury became Cokkeheads, and In their Primes Destroyed Kidd and Nash Head to Head. Remember How Stephon use to Destroy Tony Parker?... A Perfect Example.[/quote]You said Average technique and Superb Athleticism trumps Superb technique and Average Athleticism those where your words not mine! Nonsense! Please tell us how many playoff series did Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury win combined? Are you talking about when Tony Parker was still a rookie and ish? Nash was also a late bloomer I don't know about them torching Kidd [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Here's a Proper Comparison......{Hof vs Hof} Steve Nash Vs Isiah Thomas Jason Kid Vs Isiah Thomas Isiah> Trumps Both. Equal Skill Levels,{Isiah} Far Superior Athleticism, But Less Technique Than The Two more Recent Contemporaries[/quote]Nansense! Isiah played for better teams than Jason Kidd and Steve Nash! I'd like to Isiah lead Richard Jefferson and Kerry Kittles to back to back NBA Finals [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Dominique Wilkins Vs James Worthy Dominique Trumps Him. Gary Payton vs John Stockton. Payton, In His Prime, Trumps Him. The List is Endless [i][/i][/quote]Worthy shytes on Wilkins a hundred times over! Gary Payton was the better defender but saying he was better than arguably the best PG of all time is utter Ludacris/malarkey/megedefegede In the immortal words of Jaz-O "John Stockton couldn't assist you" |
[quote author=Alyricist★Laura][i]I Actually Agree With This. However, DemiGod Like Super Athleticism & Average Technique SuperSedes Super Technique & Average Athleticism This Law of Logic is Gold in Professional Sports[/quote]Athleticism can never trump technique! Never!! This aint no And-1! Are Jason and Kidd and Steve Nash as athletic as say Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury? Remind me when last the latter played in the NBA? Kenyon Martin vs Tim Duncan? Both number 1 picks whose had the better career Technique >>>>> Athleticism till the end of time [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]There are Myriads of Examples Jordan Vs Bird[/quote]MJ had technique! One of the best students in the game! That comparison doesn't count [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]EL Phenomenon Vs Zidane[/quote]The phenomenon was better than Zidane! And you couldn't phuck with his technique either! Mental strength,injuries and indiscipline was his achilles heel [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]At The Moment, LeBron vs Kobe.... Supreme Athleticism in Combination with Good to Average Technique will always Trump Supreme Technique with Good to Average Athleticism[/quote]Whaaat are you questioning Kobe's athleticism?? Am I reading right? Are u questioning Kobe da god's athleticism? No need to argue! Let's see if Lebron is still averaging 27pts 6 asts and 5.sumn rebounds when he is 35 and 17 years in the league [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Lebron, is The Best Defender in the League Atm [color=#000099]If he just wanted to zero in and play solely defense, he would be other worldly, Scottie Pippen Like Fortunately he is paid to do other things[/quote]Bwahahaha he aint even the best defender in the Heat!!! Guys like Haslem and Battier get slept on on a nightly basis The entire Grizzlies starting five bar Mike Conley and old man Tayshaun shyte on Lebron defensively! Lebron can't even phuck with old-school Tayshaun when he was at his peak Marc Gasol (DPOY hands-down) Abinibi is different from ability! Lebron is mad committed on the defensive end and I respect him for that tho [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]LeBron is Clearly the Best Defensive SF in The League, I am not even going to waste time Arguing That.[/quote]False!! [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]You are comparing him to people who get paid "solely" to play defense and spend no energy doing anything else Not Only Does LeBron play immortal defense, but he also focuses his energies distributing and scoring.[/quote]He plays good defense I dunno about immortal! I do respect and admire his hunger and humility! That Mavs series really helped him mature |
elampiro: Bale, RVP, Mata, Carrick, Suarez & Hazard have been nominated for PFA Player of Year.Hazard? Carrick?? What about Michu and Cazorla who have been way better!! They goofed on that one but where spot on with the others |
sephia: New kit, home kit used to last 2yrs back then. Another money down the drain. Nice though.Una too dey change kit! Kiloderm? I think this is the only season you guys repeated a kit from the previous season |
[quote author=Table Leg ]Hahah ... Bucks, i just dont see them sniffing a win. We have brought in Quentin Richardson and Earl Barron Sheed, a shame ... knee injury wont let up! We need Amare though ........ But as you said, with the first round starting tomorrow, he's probably not going to play a part![/quote]Stranger things have happened in basketball but anyways they do have an awful record! The day a 38-44 team makes the playoffs out West hell would literally freeze over ![]() I forgot you guys have Kenyon Martin too! Its just the injuries man! To stand any chance against the Heat yall need all men on deck! And for JR Smith to continue to raise his game like he's done all season |
[quote author=Table Leg ]The sort of momentum and belief oozing out of Woodson's boys, may not even require 'Sheed or Amare but it will be a masisve boost to have both present .... 'Melo need to stay hot throughout............... Heats Vs Bucks - Heat's Sweep Knicks Vs Celtic - Nicks 4.2 Pacers Vs Hawks - Pacers 4.1 Nets Vs Bulls - Bulls 4.3 Thunder Vs Rockets - Thunder 4.2 Lakers Vs Spurs - Lakers 4.3 Grizz Vs Clippers - Grizzle 4.2 Nuggets Warriors - Warriors 4.3[/quote]Actually Sheed is definitely out! He has retired sef! That's why they brought in Richardson and one dude like that Amare would most likely miss the first round but should be back if they advance Why is no one giving the Bucks a chance to even steal one game! With Jennings,Ellis and Redick I think they can |
usbcable: see pot calling kettle black.Over the last 2 seasons is a sufficient timestamp to judge players! I used that because that is/was the timeframe that Lewandowski became a significant player! If I wanted to be thoroughly biased I would have based my argument on this season alone usbcable: why not let us also mention that benzema was constantly being used as a substitue in the matches he also featured for real madrid unlike Lewandowski that was a constant starter.Why won't he be a substitute when he has lost form? Isn't that what our argument was about? Who is the better striker at the moment! The fact is even in the season Benzema outscored Lewandoski he played a whopping 12 more games and could only manage 2 more goals usbcable: or highlight the number of assistsAssists is not the primary metric by which strikers are judged! By the way La Liga has more games than the Bundesliga plus even the cup games are home and away unlike the knockout format used in Germany and England |
[quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Lmao Omg! Rotflmfao This Niqqah smoked a Muthafoukin Elephant Leaf!! Tha Niqqah Inhaled the Ganja~of~God Did i just really Read That?!?!? Bout to Go Play Me Some Xbox Nba Playoffs the Whole Next 2 Months Baby, Life is Great ~ [/quote]Hahahaha that was a typo! I meant Rose Stop that Gloria James bull! Only Delonte West boned his momma (who else) and that doesn't explain how horrible he played in the Mavs series |
[quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Hell, Lebron use to shut down Wade when he played for the Cavs against Miami..when wade was in his prime And Wade in his Prime Is Light Years beyond a Penetrating Piercing Slasher than Westbrook ever dreamed of Being[/quote]Now you are just clowning! Lebron that couldn't shut down Paul Pierce na him wan shutdown Wade! That was back then when Lebron couldn't defend to save his momma! You need a drink fam [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Kobe Guarded West Brook in one game this year and one game last year and held him to 20% shooting nights{Then Westbrook came back and Torched Him} But still. Lebron can Easily guard westbrook if kobe can[/quote]Because Kobe is fundamentally sound! Whereas Lebron relies solely on his athleticism! So when you see guys like Kobe,Duncan or Gary Payton guarding supposedly younger and quicker guys remember its all about the "Fundamentals" [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Lmao A40 Won't give LBJ His Defensive Credit Lebron is a Chief on that Defensive End....FFS, You really think he can't guard Zbo?!.. ![]() [/quote]Lebron is not the best defensive small forward in the league! As at two seasons ago he wasn't even a good one on one defender! I wouldn't tell u he hasn't improved tho but there's a lot more to learn! Nigga can't guard Z-Bo bruh! Did I stutter? |
[quote author=Alyricist★Laura][size=14pt]HOW THE HELL IS WESTBROOK TOO QUICK FOR Lebron When Lebron Guarded Rose and Rose is Faster and QUICKER THAN WESTBROOK?!!?!?[/size] Mwuaahahahahahahahh[/quote]Derrick Rose faster than Westbrook?? Is this ninja joking!!! Westbrook is stronger and quicker than Lebron! 6-3 with insane upper body strength not a chance in hell that Lebron can guard Westbrook when he couldn't guard Jason Terry [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]And To Say Lebron can't guard Dirk, when Dirk is just a perimeter player, Yet, Lebron can Guard Kobe...is disrespectful to Lebron, and way to high of Praise for Dirk.[/quote]Dirk a perimeter player?? Nigga pls! Lebron can guard Kobe because Kobe is 6'6 remember the height advantage I was talking about not that he can do an effective job anyway but to suggest he can guard Dirk is laughable as Dirk would probably shoot over him all night [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Dirk Torched Bosh In That Nba Finals, not Lebron. LBJ Wasn't used on Dirk because the coach knew Lebron would have gotten any and every ticky tact foul call because at the moment he was The "villain"[/quote]Nonsense! Lebron was a villain to the fans not the refs the refs don't give a damn about that Only one guy can guard Dirk in Heat uniform and sorry his name wasn't Lebron his name is Udonis Haslem [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Zbo...is 6'8" barefoot.....Come On Fam!! LmL I Can't Wait Till this Weekend Start Ahhhhh Yessssssss NBA PLAYOFFS are Here[/i][/color][/quote]Lebron can't cope with the girth bruh! Z-Bo got like 15-20 pounds on him |
Heat over the Bucks 4-2 Knicks over the Celtics 4-2 Pacers over the Hawks 4-1 Bulls over the Nets 4-3 Thunder over the Rockets 4-1 Lakers over the Spurs 4-2 Nuggets over the Warriors 4-1 Clippers over the Grizzlies 4-3 The Knicks would definitely go past the first round but to beat Miami they would need Amare and Sheed to pose them more problems in the post offensively and defensively |
[quote author=Alyricist★Laura]Bullshit, Lebron can Guard All 5 Positions... Lmao@you still on that He could guard D.Rose and Westbrook.. And He Could Guard D.Howard and Roy H. The Guy Can Do it All...... The Weekend can't come fast enough [/quote]Lebron can't guard Westbrook nigga! Too quick for him! I always tell yall Lebron can only guard people he has a size or height advantage over or perhaps an offensively challenged big man! Lebron can't guard Dwight Howard,can't guard Dirk,Griffin,Z-BO,Duncan,West or any skilled 4 never mind 5 Now you would tell me he guarded Perkins for stretches at the last Finals but I'm sure even you can guard Perkins as offensively challenged as he is! Roy Hibbert is offensively challenged too by the way |
usbcable: Why not use the last three seasons, why use the last two.Why not the last ten seasons? You should have added the number of games they played as well! I'm sure Benzema played at least 20 more games Lewandoski wasn't even a starter when he got to Dortmund 3 seasons ago Haha see 419 analysis smh! Lewandoski is the better striker now shikena |
JeSoul: Meanwhile see what I drove past this morning...wonder who was in it.Cuban is a drunkard!! That guy talks a lot of megedefegede for someone so rich Griner might be 6'8 but she's 208 pounds that's horribly under-sized! Blocking women is not the same as blocking men! Can she block Blake Griffin or Lebron? She might look and dress like a dude but can she compete with em? JeSoul: Thank you oh! and amen! And may God continue to protect you and yours over there.Gracias! There's a war going on outside JeSoul: Lol. Akpan-40 is catchy...maybe I'll adopt it tooYou guys would get swept by the Knicks oh! Go head try me! JeSoul: Abi O! Rose is really a disgrace so far. Common dude! even lil ol' me refused to stay in a walking boot for more than 1 week when I sprained my ankle badly playing footie, back on the floor sharp sharp limping everywhere lol. But seriously, I will predict Rose will never win a ring, he doesn't have the mentality required, unless he changes real quick.Its mind-boggling! This is a team that really need him and could actually cos an upset with their defence if they get him back! I just don't see the anxiety and ginger in him to play which is rather suprising and in contrast to his kamikaze style on the floor JeSoul: and who are these yeye people saying LA can upset SA...abeg make una park that idea for one side jor. Shey na Earl Clark abi WorldPeace or old man Nash that'll suddenly become beasts? lol.Spurs vs Lakers is always a toss up no matter who plays |
occam: Feeling great this morning. I hoped and prayed for a Spurs vs Lakers match up; and I got it. The series can go either way or Spurs sweeps. very unpredictable and intriguing. I'll go with Lakers in 7. why? A banged up Spurs team is what the Lakers need. As one ESPN commentator said the "Spurs engine is leaking oil" and not sure if Pop can fix things on time.Its unreal just how much Kobe carried the Lakers this season! He's in the top 4 in total minutes played with Lillard (Blazers) Kevin Durant and Monta Ellis. All 3 guys combined have only spent 15 years in the league two short of Bryant Spurs can't sweep LA regardless but I think they might be too good for the Lakers! It all boils down to who can stop Tony Parker |
Johnpaul88: I went a little too far? I was merely stating facts. I became linient now because i recognized that i cannot eulogize one without removing from the other.What are the facts? That Pep owes his tactics to Villanova or that only Villanova has had to deal with injuries right? Villanova being Pep's assistant is the only fact I can see in your post! The rest are conjectures,theories or fallacies at worst. By the way you have not told us why Barca have played 8 of the last 9 second legs in Uefa Champions League comps at home or don't you find it curious yourself? |
It was one of those shots you knew was going in the second it left his feet |
Donlittle: lakers might do the impossible broMaybe just maybe! They actually finished 7th and have dodged OKC they face San Antone and to be honest I think they have a fighting chance of pulling off an upset Playoff ties East Heat vs Bucks Knicks vs Celtics Pacers vs Hawks Nets vs Bulls West Thunder vs Rockets Spurs vs Lakers Nuggets vs Warriors Clippers vs Grizzlies |
omar22: Yeah but Webber was the Main man before David Coultard retired but the moment Vettel tried out as a reserve driver at BMW, they realised that they have a gem on their hand and also winning a race with Torro Rosso got Dr Marko to conclude that Vettel would be their new number 1 driver, but I agree with Baby Boy, no other would risk loosing everything and not back the leading driver. Ferrari acted like a desperate monkey, RBR saw it, and decided to threw them a banana, which they jumped at and fell short.Bad strategy by Ferrari they where clearly outsmarted but you have to wonder if Webber knew about the whole plan I'm not sure he willingly ceded the Championship to Vettel |
Johnpaul88: Pep was an awesome guy when he was our coach. The best coach we ever had! He gave Barcelona and in extension the NT every thing.Read what you previously wrote above! You went a little too far with your optimism about his abilities |
The Lakers are in! At least they get to get swept by OKC Durant 50-40-90 51% FG 41% 3PT and 90% FT truly remarkable! He should get the MVP in my opinion |
[quote author=baby-boy]If Redbull had put their weight behind webber in 2010 he would have won the title but RBR used Webber as a pawn to trick Ferrari and they fell for it... In Brazil they could have asked Vettel to let Webber win but no, in Japan the same but no.... Webber led Vettel on points into the last race at Abu-Dhabi but RBR used Webber as dummy and Ferrari / Alonso fell for it, because Alonso only had to finish in front of Webber to win the WDC but they forgot that they needed 4th place as well instead of Ferrari concentrating on their own race they were so wrapped up with what was happening to Webber, that when they called Webber in for a dummy pit stop, Alonso followed Webber in and came out behind Petrov, Kubica and Rosberg who Alonso had to pass to win the tittle.... They practically handed the title to Vettel but my argument were that Vettel/RBR had chance to hand Webber his first title but did nothing.....[/quote]Webber was never going to be the main guy at RBR! Prior to joining them he had always been a journeyman and an also-ran! Vettel had more upside and had always been the faster driver |
[quote author=Great_Man]I hope this is true! ![]() "Puyol, recovering from knee surgery, will certainly be back for the return leg of the CL semis and hopes to be at the first leg too." [marca] With Puyol and Messi back, Bayern go hear ween! [/quote]You mean this Puyol?

Johnpaul88: Have you forgotten that Vilanova was Pep's right hand man for the four years he had with our first team and one year he held with our B team?And? Does this mean all right hand men are better than their superiors? There's a reason why they are right hand men Johnpaul88: There were even some suggestions that Pep owed most of the tactical innovations he used while he held sway as Barca's coach, to Vilanova.That's what they are suggestions Johnpaul88: Not taking anything away from Pep, Vilanova's been the tactical genius from which Pep tapped from. He 's shown that already this season he 's been with us as head. We have not lacked in tactical wise this season. It's only been injuries that have consistently disrupted his plans, but he always seems to know what to do.Nansense! Are you saying that Pep didn't have to deal with injuries too? Where did you even come up with these unfounded claims! "Pep taps his tactical genius from Villanova" Johnpaul88: However , in time, we all will find out if Pep is the real tactical genius we all thought he is. Or was he just a fortunate guy who happened to be in the right place at the right time and have all things moving for his good .Anyone that doubts Pep's ability has to be mentally challenged! We all know where Barca was before he took over and where they are now! His brilliance even rubbed off on the NT and Spain are no longer the perennial underachievers they used to be Johnpaul88: As for Tito, he 's already proven he can hold his own at the highest level. I regret that his feeble health may force him to prematurely leave football althogether. But i love the guy already and barring another relapse, he may yet surpass whatever Pep may have achieved in Barcelona.Well he's already lost his first Supercup (something Pep never did) Can he surpass Pep? I dunno Pep won a treble in his first season at Barca! Trounced Mourinho 5-zip in their first clash |
usbcable: BENZEMAI clearly wrote over the last two seasons and you are still asking me where I saw 66 goals Even despite that he played a dozen fewer games so what does that tell you? |
[quote author=Alyricist★Laura]JT Was Possessed by God In That Series..... His performance was Incredible LeBron also had no idea how to play the #2 role at that point in his career either..[/quote]I always laugh when niggas say dumb $h!t like Lebron can competently guard all five positions! Its an awful lie [quote author=Alyricist★Laura]His knowledge of playing off the ball was extremely poor {atp} of his career. He's much more improved playing off the ball now. Mavs Earned it Though.[/quote]Lebron has actually always been a good help defender its at one on one defence he struggled tho he has vastly improved on that these days @Jesoul Good to know you guys are alright out there! May Oluwa continue to order your steps No mind Roland e no dey respect him elders Kobe pushed too hard but I can't blame the ninja! He's old school and that's probably the only way he knows how to operate! I was really disappointed with what Bill Simmons said about giving Kobe amnesty I rated him higher than that Compare Kobe to say a nigga like Derrick Rose who has been medically cleared to compete for a while now but is too scared to get on the court and then you begin to wonder! |
Mario Gomez scoring a trey last night with Robben,Shaq and Mandzukic finishing it up! Berlin bound! 1 win at a time. Vaminos!! Mia san Meister |
Darthmaul: I don't think Webber has openly helped Vettel secure any race win. Maybe he has but I seriously doubt it.He damn near cost him the championship at Interlagos! Infact had Vettel relied on Webber for favors last year he woulda been screwed judging by how poorly he drove in the penultimate races |
Johnpaul88: Yeah it's true you have to beat us to win the champions league. But it's also true that if we lose out in one season, we get it in the next. Man united beat us in the semis of 2008, we got it in 2009. Inter eliminated us the following year but we won again 2011. Chealse was our nemesis last year, so assuming the trend continues, we'll be celebrating again come 25th may.This present Barca team is suspect I wouldn't bet on yall celebrating on the 25th |
