Why is Luka even on Jaylen Brown with 4 fouls already. What type of rotations are these

Missed opportunity by Mavs there

Luka now on 5 fouls. Disaster

Pass to Luka and Insha allah
I said it from Games 1 and 2 nothing spectacular about Celtics if you match them in the 3 pt spamming department

Mavericks are just not playing smart else series would be tied by now

That's a foul on Luka wtf are these refs doing

Ehen nah. Shoot this ball with confidence ffs
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:31am On Jun 13, 2024
Simple math

What were they looking at since 1st quarter that they refused to take 3s?

What do you now do in practice when you're scared to shoot on your own floor

I don't think the Celtics team is specialby the way. We suck. Denver and wolves would have given them a run for their money.
I don't even trust that Denver cos those ones no sabi spam 3s.

You can't beat this team without competent 3pt shooting. Even if you don't match them at least compete

Celtics are 16/40, from 3

Mavericks are 6/17 from 3

You can't win a game in today's NBA with a team taking 23 more 3s

This one shock me o. They are not even giving Kyrie and Luka a fighting chance.
It's an embarrassing mismatch.

Ratings nightmare for NBA cos nobody is watching Game 4
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:19am On Jun 13, 2024
Where is the spacing? Where is the ball movement? This is pure CTE ball. You're down double digits still taking contested 2s and passing up 3s.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:15am On Jun 13, 2024
Omo this Mavs bench and role players too useless my goodness. There's nothing any one player is particularly good at

Tillman has more 3s than Kleber, Hardaway, Jones and PJ Washington
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:00am On Jun 13, 2024
Now 7pt down how do you go on a quick run
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:59am On Jun 13, 2024
These boys are finna get swept.

Jones and Washington are refusing to take the open 3s. They don't play good enough defense to remain on the floor if they can't shoot

At a point it's simple math. You will not separate or rattle these guys if you can't even take or make wide open 3s

In the meantime,

Reporter:For the first time since 1975, this is the NBA finals where you have two black head coaches. Given the plight sometimes of black coaches in the NBA, do you think this is a significant moment? do you take pride in this? How do you view this or do you not see it at all?
Joe Mazulla:I want to know how many of those have been Christian coaches?

Mavs cannot get any separation cos they won't take these 3s. 14 in a half will simply not cut it

Anyway the aim should be a win even if it is by half a point.

Not been impressed by the role players in the slightest

Luka has to box out man. How much height does he has on jrue?
This why I consider his rebound stats a tad fugazi. They're mostly uncontested. When it comes to the real ones in traffic he's usually found lacking

Back to back 3s. Kyrie

Damn. Everybody for Celtics sabi shoot. Which kin team be this.

Mavericks have been pitiful on the boards
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:22am On Jun 13, 2024
Lively is missing open lobs. Smh

Seems the Mavs have zero confidence in the 3. Not sure anyone outside Kyrie and Luka has even tried.

If you can't even make back to back 3s how do demoralize the opponent. You don't exactly have Shaq in the paint

Lol Kleber man
He's just there stealing oxygen. Who was I telling that he's completely useless. Can't defend, rim protect or hit the open 3
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:44am On Jun 13, 2024
Absolutely massive lifeline for the lifeline for the Mavericks.

Porzingis on both ends has been a match up nightmare for the Mavs thus far.

The amount of shots he alters in the paint never mind his shot blocking. If Gafford and Lively don't combine for at least 30-35points then they are not serious

The target should be minimum of 50points in the paint. Their wings and bigs have to be aggressive, physical and take advantage of Porzingis absence

They that are typing it don't even believe that crap. I don't know what it is about politics that turn people like this

Tinubu is a rent seeking Shylock. The man has never generated wealth and prosperity the straight and narrow way a day in his life yet for some weird reasons people kept conflating IGR and taxation to production and wealth creation. Feudalism is all the man knows

He is turning n Nigeria to a Feudalist dystopia

I believe no small pikin for here. We're all grown men. So at a point typing these kin things under Tinubu's disastrous presidency makes people who don't know you to question your mental state.

Whether you be normal person or craze man. Cos if Nigeria was your company and Tinubu was CTO, President or Manager based on his performance you would easily have him fired.

I don't think anyone should be so bound to their politics that they see what is black and call it white

......sincerely I have never for once made any post here for sake of trolling. I can swear it with anything. Though it may sound so coz some are expecting every supporter of PBAT to back down and start cussing him - that's not gonna happen to me.

I knew what I was going into when I decide to support PBAT. I knew it ain't gonna be easy but though not to this extent. I am keeping the belief that; we are simply going through hard time now for a better time to come.

I don't wanna give up the hope that Naija can be fixed. I do not have another Pali aside Naija Pali my brother.
There's a line from the movie Casino. Either he's in on it or is too dumb to see what's going on

That line best explains Tinubu

If you're saying you like Tinubu for your tribal and religious reasons that's bad but somewhat understandable but after seeing all his moves this past 1 year, pretending like the man will make any difference is egregious and comes off as you just mocking people if I'm being honest with you

Tinubu just like Buhari had ruling Nigeria in his bucket list and he's ticked it.

Nigeria is facing the worst food inflation since Abacha time. What coherent or sensible action has Tinubu made that you can explain. I've never seen a president who's failing in every sector literally you can't point to anything and say he's at least gotten it right

You're a Muslim. Ileya dey come. How much do you think your fellow Ummah are paying to buy ram. That's if they can even afford it. Where is the pepper wey dem wan take cook am?

I was not in doubt he would be a failure as his performance in Lagos was grossly overrated but I doubt even his worst opp predicted he will be far worse than Buhari

Lakers and Bron fans especially on Twitter still think the Lakers coaching job is an attraction. Delulu is the only solulu grin

That might work for a desperate coach but not for a coach that knows their worth. Lakers are cheap and the juice of the job is not worth the squeeze better hire Redick that will be happy with what he can get and leave real coaches alone.

Nobody wants to deal with that circus and banter franchise if they don't have to

Khanben:
Yes he is worse than Kleber, Kleber is supposed to guard big men and he does an okay job at it. Yes his offense i.e shooting is sporadic but he will always put in a shift on defence and knows when to stop shooting if his shot is not falling.
THJ on the other hand is supposed to guard wings, and he his a worse sieve than Luka, plus the dude
can go 0-10 from 3 and keep on shooting bricks.

So its a choice between a good defender, who is sporadic on offense, but is self aware enough not to continue launching bricks and a very bad defender whose offense is better but when it's bad can kill you because he will not stop shooting.
Nope. Kleber is an average very limited big who occasionally gets hot from 3. Emphasis on occasionally

Is he a good defender? I don't know. All I did was see him rack up more fouls than points in 2 games combined inside 15 minutes. That does not sound like a good defender to me

THJ I will admit is not a long term solution, however he's a capable ball handler that can allow Kyrie play off the ball. He can spam 3s and is a streaky shooter that can also get hot. You don't need more than 2-3 heat checks to know if he has it or not and you can subsequently yank him off no harm no foul. But if he's cooking his ceiling is much much higher than Kleber. Such extraordinary contributions like that is what you need to win series like these

Like Mike Miller and Shane Battier in 2012

People say Messi won the balon d'or last year because he won the world cup

Then what happened in 2018, why didn't Mbappe win it, though Modric won it because he deserved it more.

Let's be honest with ourselves those that voted where basically undermining all the reasons they had given Messi the balon d'or

In 2006 we all believed that okay it's the best player from the world cup winning team that gets the balon d'or but what changed during Messi's era. We could say okay it's because of Zidanes behaviour he would have won it even if France didn't win the cup... Personal Henry should have won it based on modern Messi's standard
