Man, are you alright? . When people talk about the eastern conference, which era/period do you think they are referring to? You must think the eastern conference has been the same for 30 years. Are you kidding me.

WeissVonner:
Dude, MJs robin was better than the batman on that Blazers team. What are you people even talking about?


These are the same lads who love to bring up the "leastern conference" BTW.

Ofcourse google is our friend. . IThat was just banter. Besides i don't really believe in the statement, "did you watch it in real time"?. Most of the stats you need for a deep analysis were available. Match ups, e.t.c. Perhaps you can go one step back to the western conference finals. They beat the Utah jazz with Malone and Stockton, a team they dispatched in 6 games. 3 of their players were averaging 20 points per game. Only one of them, Drexler averaged over 20 points in the series against MJ's bulls. Terry Porter and Drexler were averaging field goal percents of about 55% and 47% respectively in the previous serie, you may want to check their averages in their series against the Bulls. There's your MJ factor.

WeissVonner:
The best player on that Blazers team scored 4 more points than Pippen. Their second best player was, wait for it... Jerome Kersey.

You old people need to be ashamed of yourselves.

AD is learning from his senior brother.

A40:
AD has been probable and questionable every game for this season. I hope the Heat don't down tool and fall for such scam. AD will play

Can you answer this question. Did you watch the 1992 finals in real time? .@nairalmaniac asked you that question, but you dodged it. . Answer it please.

steady986:
You want to eat your cake and have it. Are we talking about pure skills or greatness? Because if it is pure skills, Drexler doesn't come close to Iverson. And for greatness he doesn't cone close to Wade, the skills comparison is up for debate.

At 31? Against your GOAT? and your GOAT can't put him in his place? Continue. . As i said Lebron fans will change the narrative. I am not surprised. We were talking about a sweep, and nobody ever ever called Jimmy butler a superstar, until this series. Abeg say something else. Abeg shift. .

steady986:
Every player has his own coming out party, and this playoff run is Jimmy Butler's own. Kawhi won finals MVP because his team won. Jimmy Butler is on course to win finals MVP if his team wins. And don't forget that he has been an all-star since 2015, except for last year. . So, yes, he's a superstar

Giannis is a Superstar obviously has asterisk. . At least at the moment. Besides. Besides superstardom is a title that's conferred based on dominance over a period of time. I am talking about at least 2/3 years. If you can not deliver it through incredible regular season performances, then you better get to the finals and win it. The latter is how Kawhi made into superstardom. If you have a different criteria for measuring superstardom, that's ok. Remind me again when Butler had been this assertive. If he was 24/25, i could say oh, he was learning how to win in his younger years. And please neither Curry nor Kawhi- who just had a choke tag placed on his playoff career- is the subject of discussion here. Neither of them is placed at the same level as Lebron. The discussion is about your so-called GOAT. You allow a guy who has at best pulled off a few star performances in his career to attain superstardom in a series against you? That's unacceptable. . Wake me up when this dream is over.

steady986:
What's the definition of superstar? Is the superstar tag given based on reputation or performance? You can call Giannis a superstar, who couldn't take his team to the finals on two occasions even though they were favourites. But you can't call Jimmy Butler a superstar, someone who took his team to the finals and is busy dropping 40 point triple doubles. Even Steph or Kawhi have never dropped a 40 point triple double in the finals. And don't even get me started about how Steph comes up smaller in the playoffs than the regular season, just like una MVP Giannis. Those are who you call superstars abi?

Yes, he should normally be hitting that.But in the heat of the moment, when you are down by 1, the pressure is just up there Curry misses wide open threes too. If you do not want such a thing to happen, how about you try not to get it get to that point? With 2 super stars, i suppose that shouldn't be too much to ask. To minimize the damage, the narrative will then be, they actually had a super star in Jimmy butler. . I mean this series on paper was was looking like a gentleman sweep at worst.

A40:
Everybody knows where I stand on LeNomad but Danny Green should absolutely be making that shot. Hard to fault him there

It's good to see Jimmy Butler prove that you don't have to spam the 3 ball to win and contend

If I'm the Lakers I'm super worried that LeNomad played arguably his best game of the series and the Lakers lost. When your best player shoots 70% from the field and your best two players combine for 68 you should win the game.

Anywho we would be monitoring AD's situation. Though I firmly believe Frank Vogel and the Lakers are selling wolf tickets

I mean a superstar-less team.

mattfeuter:
You mean the Eastern conference champions and a team that’s in the NBA finals ?

I thought as much. I was wondering who WeissVonner was. You don too use different Monikers. . Now i know. A simple advice, stick to one moniker. Or at least be civil and avoid getting banned. I don't quite have the strength to argue with you. There's no point in flogging a dead horse. Are we still on that Yomi issue. Ofcourse for someone who changes his moniker every month i kinda understand why you wouldn't trust anyone else not to do the same. It's alright, Man. It's alright. Stay strong. Perhaps Lebron can manage to win this in game 6, which should have been a gentleman sweep anyway.

WeissVonner:
Lol, I'm least surprised it's coming from him. Apart from that yomi fellow Benji is the biggest idiot on this thread.

And I'm still not convinced yomi and Benji are different people BTW.

. It wasn't really meant for you. You were the decoy.

steady986:
This post has the handwriting of someone from this thread because I know you can't write something like this.

Na this person people dey call GOAT? . You no fit beat a super-star-less team. Ofcourse we can now Jimmy a superstar. How do you give up 2 games to this Heat team? I don't care if Danny Green misses an open 3. Perhaps it's the Lebron factor that makes these players shrivel in this moment. Perhaps Lebron can understand that this thing is becoming normal and make a different decision. I mean Danny Green has been off and on in this playoffs like NEPA. . I do not know what it is, but that thing keeps repeating itself. How did this happen? And do not tell me AD was injured. This is unacceptable.
@steady986, come an shalaye for your GOAT.

I must be kind to Iwobi faithfuls now.

Edopesin:
Lmao I've since dropped the issue, someone was even accusing me of hating on him

Iwobi was anything but phenomenal today, saying he was decent would be me being nice. He certainly didn't play his role today, zero creativity going forward

Boy, o boy, you better go watch full match. The Algerians were useless for most of the match. We were just more useless. .But ofcourse you could say, relatively, they were better.

IDENNAA:
Those Algerians will not give you room to operate...they are ffucking aggressive and tough to play. We need to play them very physical...dem nobi Oyibo...blacks in oyibo skin. Cant you see Ajayi was getting frustrated, so was Balogun but Akpoguma na tough guy and he remained discipline , checking their speedy runs and intrusions. You need a 100% disciplined Nigerian side to put these Amazigh in their place. If you play cool with them they will bloody you up while screaming pains!

No he wasn't phenomenal. DOn't tell me you got carried away by that swerve. . He was decent. He was miscuing passes. I'll leave it at that.

Subzero047:
Iwobi was phenomenal today

Both teams dey play like secondary school children. . But Rohr na one kain coach. You wan test players you come dey carry dem come for 84th minute. Useless.

This is a team that lacks a plan. Nothing has changed form one half to another.

. You and sentiment are due for a marriage.

forgiveness:
Who is playing RB? This coach just dey use sentiment dey select players.

Rohr na Nigerian coach with a white face.

Rohr dey komot Onuachu after 68 minutes.

Which kain pass Iwobi pass go back, en?

Se Onuachu na stomach direction ni? Abi na the Algerian player push am? You strong pass dem now.

Which kain useless play be this. U no fit play ball for ground ni? Ebuehi, be careful.

But players dey lie ooo. You dey all over the guy for back, you still dey ask Referee say wetin you do.

Dat swerve by Iwobi, na die. . I bin wan say wetin dey do Kalu. i come remember, na Nigerian player.

My brother. As per goal keeper standard, na simpel save abegi. . Him still spill simple save. Suspect. Notin do you.

do4luv14:
Chaiii I go learn book today,

so there somechim like substandart save abi, carri on bro notin do you

U see wetin i dey talk. Which kain useless cross be dat? Dis team no be team wey fit use Onuachu.

Yepa. Which kain clearance be dat. Abi dem don locate Ekong ni?

How we come dey think the same phrases like dis.

Nice one from Iwobi.

That one na standard save now. Him still spill the ball, if Algeria player dey there for the rebound nko?

semid4lyfe:
Good save from Maduka Okoye

You no read my comment well. Na support i support you.

andrewbaba44:
I have said mine

I can’t argue with people who are sentimental

Enjoy your back of tv

Onuachu no fit shine for this team. The team is just not technial enough. Who go put the crosses in consistently. If Onuachu na player wey fit hold ball like kanu, na different story be that.

andrewbaba44:
lol

I will always call you guys beer parlour fans

How many ball your midfield don do wey you want make onauchu so magic ?

Your defense and midfield you no see na innocent onauchu you choose to attack

Not surprised
