😂😂😂😂😂

Even 3rd quarter that they just started, Nuggets are shooting 25%. Its unbelievable.

Their offense has been historically bad. Orlando Magic and Cavs level

This doesn't even make any sense

Lol. Nuggets have released the rope. Can't imagine paying for courtside seats I'd be cursing these players in Swahili

32% from the field. 28% from 3. This is a crying disgrace

I refuse to believe the Timberwolves are this good. I put this on the Nuggets.

Murray has been shocking, KCP doing cardio, Jokic looks beaten.

The warning signs were there in the Lakers series but Lakers were too old and mentally weak (nothing to do with coaching) to knock them out.

This is definitely gonna be a sweep

This is looking like a short series. Nuggets GM has committed a war crime

4 utterly useless players off the bench

larride:
They are doubling Jokic with Naz and Anderson and nobody is setting screens for Jokic.

Nuggets attack is out of sort, Murray is like a shadow and the shots seems not to be dropping for MPJ tonight.

Very disappointing from the Nuggets

But the Timberwolves. Shey altitude no dey affect them? They're picking niggas from halfcourt and these players are not setting screens and bailing the ball handler out

donlittle25:
I been they pray make they lose as per Dallas fan

Lool. Why? Brunson had to get his money nau. Not his fault the Mavs took him for granted

Gordon the only one interested in tying this series it seems.

This is the game Nuggets will confirm if they have a bench or not.

KCP doing cardio out there and Jamal still faffing so far

Nuggets missing some easy ones early

larride:
😂😂😂😂

E better bring his shooting shoe to game 2.

He's a regular season merchant

If Jokic don't drop a fvck you 50 piece in Gobert absence I'll know Nuggets are not serious

I'm very confident they can steal Game 3 or 4 in Minny but they have to win today for that to be probable

Jalen Brunson might be the best value contract in the league.

When is he due an extension? They better put his money in his hands

larride:
Yeah. Gobert just welcome his first child.

He will be available for game 3 most likely.

Flight delay. I know that pilot is a Nuggets fan

donlittle25:
On God. Cause wetin this guy they play. Looks scared af

I'm to the point I don't even rate regular season stats again.

You can see what Paul George, Harden and Westbrook do come playoffs year after year and someone like Paul George I'm hearing in Hall of Fame conversations which is so weird to me

larride:
Gobert to miss game 2

Nuggets caught a huge break. No excuses now

Halibooty. Playoffs will always expose these regular season stat padding merchants

Nigeria eats her babies 🙁

Gestapo Government. Shades of Third Reich Germany, Nigerians don't know what they have entered in the hands of this Feudalist.

I'm happy that this myth of Tinubu being a capitalist and economic savant is dying a gory death

KingTom:
Hmmmmm, tell me you're cheesin' fam? I guess he's truly like Michael

Drake has too many dodgy receipts that it was almost too easy for Kendrick

You say you never looked at a teenager twice but there's videos of you kissing a 17 year old on stage

Jimmy Jam daughter you're linked to her at 16

A girl born in 2004 is saying on live TV is you told her you missed her 6 years ago.

So using almost 4 minutes to deny just makes you look stupid

You notice Kendrick no even dignify the paternity fraud and DV talk with response, playing offense at all times

iamoyindamola:
Never see or hear it before now

Actually better to cut yam than take it home only to find out e don rot like Ibime said. The discovery can be painful

BlueMann:
Man this game is so ugly. Competitive series with some mean defense, but I'm glad it's ending.
Orlando's offense stinks

56 free throws shot. Only 7 more made field goals than free throws.

Anyways, Cavs will face the Celtics

I just dey pity the rim.

Orlando wan use Brick scatter am

KingTom:
The Millie Bobby Brown line sef was totally unnecessary

https://twitter.com/mzicyobe/status/1782426844668502233?s=19

How you wan take explain am sef when this kin video dey circulation? Would have been better digging up the DV allegations you made on Kendrick. He has too many dodgy teenager interactions to not just ignore altogether

KingTom:
This one sounds like he's been holding back hate for a long time

Be like Drake don tap out. I heard his track and it sound like a concession speech.

Blud used almost the full track to deny he was a paedophile and sex offender (mind you video dey of 14 year old girl telling interviewer say Drake dey text am advice am about boys)

There's this mistake people make, when person dey diss you no dey respond to anything wey e talk. Bomb and attack them with your own yabs from start to finish

Ronald Reagan said it best. If you're explaining you're losing

Android17:
But that has never been the narrative about Kdot and Drake. The narrative has always been one was the lyricist who focused on conscious music while the other did melodic rap that women could twerk to. You've seen the same argument made here.

Now all the tenets of rap don't matter to Mr Morale the Pulitzer prize winning lyricist?

This is rap beef. The aim is to eviscerate your opponent in the eyes of the masses not speak grammar or appeal to rap purists that make 0.01% of the population

When they put out full length albums then you can begin to breakdown that one.

For now all that counts is how hard you can break your opponent and destroy their credibility

Ibime:
Drake mess up with that amateur approach of explaining the black/white thing. Na rookie move

But all in all, KDOT shit has been underwhelming

All Drake needs to do is release a hard track on a hard beat and he has won this for me. No singing, no pop beat, just go ham like Remy Ma did with Shether

Streets is already calling Drake a paedophile and digging up receipts.

It's very difficult to diss track your way out of those allegations

Drake is going to have something nuclear on the level of 300 Bars and Runnin or Pest Control levels and even then Kendrick has achieved his aim of maligning Drake's character

Beef tracks have never been about outrappin anybody it's always been about damaging their credibility and psyche. 50 is not a better rapper than JaRule, he didn't do better diss tracks on a lyrical level per se. He just turned enough people against him that his shit stopped poppin

The funny part is pure rap skills Kendrick still clears both Drake and Cole

KingTom:
And while all this was happening, that werey Metro dropped a beat titled BBL DRIZZY and is calling for verses, best verse gets a free beat

Now Soundcloud rappers are cooking him.

KingTom:
And all Drake has said is he's short, wears a size 7 and is under a slave contract. Person talk say e hate everything about you, dropped a diss barely an hour after yours and this is after saying he calculates you and even predicts your angles, used your Toronto Mansion marked with sex offender tags as his cover art and you're telling me he's not winning? Omo make Drake leave matter, he had better ignore Kendrick like he did Pusha, at least the world knows he's not a pushover or Poosie like Jermaine

Drake cooked him on Family Matters too ngl.

The whole wifebeating, double life and paternity fraud angle also enter but Kendrick omo ogbon he didn't even address the matter. Which is hella smart btw

Ronald Reagan once said if you're explaining you're losing

Face your own angle and hammer on it. Now people are digging up all types of videos about Drake's father, about how he dey pursue young girls and all that jazz.

kingBolton:
I am tempted to say most of those guys are drake fans or guys who never liked kdot in the first place...Diss track has always been how low or dirty you can get and how it sticks...
Funny enough drake had powerful punchlines but why he decided to sing them is what i don't understand.

Drake's bars were hella nice. In fact he should leave all the other guys out of it in his next rebuttal and face strictly Kendrick

I don't sleep on Drake, he's a battle tested guy. The problem is he's facing a guy as good as him fueled by pure hate, e no need views, money or clout

Kendrick was also smart for not allowing the Family Matters song land well well before dropping 2 to cover am.

All these lyrics wey una wan analyze nobody has time for that for real world. Na how much mud you fit sling at your opponent na him matter

KingTom:

Bro. I dey hear multis I just weak. Wetin consign diss track with all that one

All that one na paralysis by analysis. One of Naija best diss tracks na Wackawickee MC and not because Eedris was not yarnin a bunch of megedefegede but his yabs were direct and had a sweet hook to match

Shit on your opponent, assassinate their character and credibility

In fact if only Rap heads can relate with your diss you have failed

Emaprince:
Bruh!!!

You also noticed all that end rhymes that arent even on beat.

In "meet the grahams" This guys flows and end rhymes was atrocious. Very poorly structured and seemed forced. Sometimes most of hisrhymes dont even rhyme. Smh

Fans are just hyping that trash for hyping sake...and to appear cool

Hehehe how many casual observers dey listen for rhyme schemes and patterns

Make una dey serious nau haba

Android17:
Not just meh stuff but rehashed and outright lies and people are letting him get away with it.

The art for 'Meet the Grahams' was clearly baited. After he realized it, he just lapped this 'Not Like Us' to cover it and kill its momentum but people just went with it.

Then not flowing to the beat. No rhyming well and barely using multis. Using lines battle rappers had already used online. Releasing multiple tracks which is the sure-fire proof you know every thing you are dropping is not sticking.

Even the 'Meet the Grahams' never responded to any of the jabs on 'Family Matters' but people tried to pass it off as some calculated move even when the track was clearly written before 'Family Matters'.

This is an agenda-based beef and fans of both factions will root for their beloved regardless of what is released. I've made peace with that fact.

Beef has never been about your lyrical schemes, rhymes or multis. It's never been a purist sport

This one no be Nairaland Rap battle.

All beef has always been about agenda and how low can you go and how much feelings you can hurt.

Rap beef has always been the amount of dirt you can shovel on your opponent.

Drake is losing thus far. That's the uncomfortable truth.

greypencils:
Nothing is going to be different unless Jamal Murray steps up to deliver at least 30-35 points. Denver's engine have always been Jokic & Murray. MPj is usually the occasional star. AG and Caldwell Pope are non-factors. And like mentioned severally, there is no bench. Bruce Brown kept it ticking last championships. There is no freaking body on the bench unless Reggie Jackson suddenly becomes superman.

You're right. Jamal has to go band for band with Antman like he did last season where he went 27-6-6

The issue is the Wolves know he's not 100% and so they keep trying him picking him up from 90ft. Nuggets players too instead of stepping up and setting screens and giving him space they stand in the corner as if they will even make the open 3 when they get it

All those comeback runs vs the Lakers might have done some damage. The Timberwolves shot 70% from the field in the second half. That's insane. Could it be fatigue or Timberwolves just are an excellent shot making team cos I saw Timberwolves in the regular season, they were not this good offensively
