Lol. All these talks about east. We'll be here watching how they'll all fall like a pack of cards come playoffs. The boys would be separated from the men.

Lol. Which men? AD and Westbrook? Lakers gotta be feeling depressed there was no trade before the deadline. For sure, this is the greatest challenge Lebron has ever faced. If h e were younger, maybe they power through. Lets see sha

The trades this year have been very strategic, esp in the EC. There are like 5 lord of d rings type teams in the east right now. LeKing, better retire in LA

Sanctions should be commensurate to offences in sports. Retaliations allowable shoukd be the appropriate kind. Anything else is the jungle or the Mafia. Don't kill someone or end their careers in retaliation for a cheap shot and expect me to gloat with you. Never!

I know, saint dmain. Its ok, I will gloat for you

DeeMain:
Eject him. Give him a 2-match ban or a 5. Play hard or dirty on him, fight him, give him a cheap shot for pay-back. Fair enough.

But don't kill a fly with a sledge hammer in the name of revenge. That should have no place in sports.

Markieff Morris has missed 44 games after the Jokic attack. He may never play again. He may. God help him. I hope you and your crew are happy Doc.

The Morris brothers are not flies. These are 6ft6 power forwards that like to inflict pain and intimidation on opponents. Fool wants to end the career of the next gen face of the league over 2 pts.

It's high time the Lakers call Houston, Russ for Wall. A disaster for a disaster , maybe it fits better.

Agreed on Wall is a better fit than WB, and even Lillard. Disagree that Wall is a disaster. Outside of injury, when he plays he is still top 5 PG n the league

Giannis tonight: 17/20 FG, 44 pts, 14 reb, 1 st, 2 blk

AD tonight: 8/10 FG, 22 pts, 10 reb, 1 st, 3 blk

Na just effort dey lack on AD's part las las. That's always been his biggest issue.

lol! I see you have repented. welcome to church! new converts come sit up front, right next to pastor

So many blowouts tonight, but the only losing team that should be concerned is Lakers. Clippers already made some moves, and the remaining teams dont care. I wonder if tonight's loss forces the Lakers hands

Giannis getting some love on TNT. Shaq hit the nail on the head, folk acting too cool out there. Hustle (Giannis) is outworking talent (AD). This is as close of an open rebuke as I have seen Shaq say about AD.

etidy:
If at this junction Lillard can't request for a trade or put serious pressure on his front office it will further emphasize my belief that he's a coward that fears the scrutiny of been at the forefront competing for a title.
It takes serious cojones to bet on yourself by moving to another team as a star to position for a title run. The media and fan scrutiny is dialed up.

Lillard just wants to chill, stat pad, collect big money, home love and the benefits of " what if's" throughout his career.

bro u right! Lillard has been exposed. He used to hide behind not wanting to chase rings. But now, even as the team is rebuilding, he is not forcing the issue. Supposedly, he also wants to stay on the west coast if traded, not too far from home. smh.

Roland17:
I am still indifferent about Ime's coaching, he still has to show me he can coach us out of slumps. I like how we have attacked teams when they employ the zone which used to be a big problem. The biggest improvement has been on offense. Like I said, I will wait until the next 3-4 games to see how we play.

make una fear bball gods na. trying to blow out the nets!

Roland17:
5th straight win and now tied for 6th. Our defense has continued to stay strong and out offense has picked up. I like how we have played since January, hopefully we keep the momentum.
#Greenrunsdeep

They are playing different, that is for sure. Coach looks more sure of himself as well, maybe its just me.

steady986:

Abeg abeg! Did they not just lose 3 in a row without Lebron? AD is a loser. For real.

felix00:
What is going on with the Nets and James harden?
They gonna trade him or what?

I think its Hardens people stirring up social media to force a trade. I doubt it will happen.

Roland17:
I have different news links about his shooting and case saved up and I still get triggered for any ***** ***** news. Maybe it’s time to let go of those things, time will tell.

No idea what happened to the fool, but I see a name double pop up on google, 10 years older in h is 30s, still doing dirty deeds. It better not be him, how could he have gotten out of jail so quickly.

Roland17:
@A40, I think we forgot to remember one of our very own soldier on this thread last year.

Continue to rest well @Bawomolo (Busayo), your Bulls have resurrected and I imagine you are smiling.

#RIPBAWOMOLO

I noticed last year, and I assumed you guys were starting to forget and heal proper. I always feel sad when I think of the trauma of the parents: After hustling to enter yankee, only to have your child cut down by low lifes. God have mercy on us all.

A40:
She was rejoicing while they were down? That's a bit weird. [b]But for me it's only right he retired with his full faculties intact. [/b]Playing an extra season, winning an 8th ring, what difference does it make? His achievements are never going to be matched in our lifetime. He's already proven he was the more important ingredient by winning a Superbowl his first season without Belichick. Nothing left to prove

Even this, we dont know. Only his doctor. We have seen otherwise healthy and younger players pick up a gun and off themselves, 2 years removed from playing in the NFL. There is no telling what wifey is already dealing with. I think Drew Brees retiring also helped Brady make peace with retiring. Drew Brees has taken a lot of beating as well, they are in the same boat.

Khanben:
Agree, the issue for Brady is his age. His family does not need the money, so with his wife and daughter especially, complaining to him about how they feel when he gets hit, he had no choice but to retire.
As soon as I saw the clip where madam was rejoicing in the vip booth while oga was losing 27-3 to the Rams, I knew he was calling it quits.

PS: Personally I don't blame her, nobody wants to have a spouse who is having cognitive issues in their old age due to concussions that occurred because a 45 year old man was hit by a 270lbs 24 year old who runs a 4.4s 40.

Indeed, I fear he WILL suffer cognitive issues. He has taken some lickings over the years. More than any QB. I remember what the legion of boom did to him. Its only a matter of time IMO

Roland17:
I am disappointed that the media took Brady’s power to announce his retirement by himself. He has earned it and whoever broke the story should have intimated him and given him the opportunity to break the story by himself.

Since the story broke, he tried his best to wrestle the power back from the media by saying a decision had not been made, even his dad said the thing but it was too late and I know that has to hurt Brady.

Cant hurt as much as those hits tho Brady na big boy, this is part of celeb life, so I doubt he dwells much on this. A leak from the front office would be my suspicion

Dont look now but Tatum is turning into that next level player. His patience and court vision is on point!

steady986:
I like how you snuck Wilson's name in there. You think say we no go notice?

Where would you rank him?

Khanben:
So the question is, did Stafford all of a sudden become a good QB?
He is the poster child of how a dysfunctional organization can make a very good player look like a scrub.

Jimmy G on the other hand is the poster child of why wins and losses should not be a QB stat.

I think barring the best of the best like Brady, Rogers and Wilson, there are a dozen or so elite QBs in the league that in the right system and facing the right opponents, can make it to the superbowl.

In other news, the NFL is very terrible at recruiting head coaches. They keep cycling over used and outdated folk when some really good assistant coaches never get a shot. Why is Harbaugh on anyone's list in this era?!! And when a black headcoach is given an opportunity, there is a very short leash. Smh.

A40:
End of an era. Salute to GOAT Brady and Big Ben Roethlisberger.

A farewell tour woulda been nice

BlueMann:
I hope he doesn't get overworked sha...been playing heavy minutes recently.

How you rate Dosunmu? Steal of the draft maybe?

pleasant surprise for sure. we are still scratching our heads on jalen greene in houston

BlueMann:
This Grayson Allen wey I dey see so... one game suspension no go touch the werey, ban am for like 600 years.

It really hurts me cos now we've got three key guys - including our two key perimeter defenders - out for 6-8 weeks, and another out till God knows when.

Dosunmu dey my fantasy team, so I hope this helps me

BlueMann:
Mf has a whole five minute compilation(!!) of dirty plays on YouTube.

That play was dirty and intentional, as his history would suggest. And if it wasn't intentional, then that guy is dirty by default. The attempted block with the left hand was reckless but understandable, but how do you explain the swipe with the right hand, while Caruso was already rotating downwards in midair? With a bit more rotation, Caruso may well have landed on his head.

That one game suspension was too small.

The suspension is just about right. If it was any other player, probably no suspension. But Allen has a habit of clumsy but dangerous fouls. A suspension should make him rethink some of those over-hustle plays.

That extra swipe with the right hand is exactly the definition of over-hustle. Another example, if someone is about to dunk on you and is already midair, you have to stay still because if you attempt to block the shot, or even move carelessly, you WILL injure that dunker.

Sometimes, you have to take the L, take the posterization and prevent injury. A suspension like this is an adequate warning for over eager players

steady986:
AD dominating Embiid, but the rest of the team playing shiit as usual.

Hard to decipher a game I didnt watch, but lets look at the stats. 76ers had a combined FG% of 50% suggesting Lakers defense is a problem. But then you look and see Lakers rebounded the ball better, and blocked more shots. Also steals, TOs all are about the same for both teams. Except 76ers had a lopsided amount of assists.

This tells me Lakers are still not clicking. They need enough time for AD, Lebron etc to play together. So I realistically expect the Lakers to stay about .500 for the next month. Even if they make a blockbuster trade before the deadline, they will struggle versus the teams that have played together longer. They will win some on the strength of Lebron/AD heroics but even this will not be enough versus well coached teams.

As we expected, having an older squad means the season hinges a lot on staying healthy. The one youngn that is supposed to be a spring chicken has missed more time than everybody!!

Khanben:
You cannot go wrong with either one of them. But the Bills must not relent, they should try via FA or the Draft to improve their defense especially their front 7. They must push all their chips in for the final year of Allen rookie contract and worry about the cap situation later

Even in the nfl, an excellent offense will edge out a dominant defense. Chiefs scored in 13s vs the leagues #1 defense. If they play anyone other than Mahomes, they win. That is what is so gut wrenching for the Bills. The only hope next year is to not run into the Chiefs early.

steady986:
E remain Mahomes. Make we know say na underdog go win am this year.

Touch not my annointed!

My goodness. I would take either mahomes or allen over any other qb in the league!

A40:
One man I don't bet against. Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr

I think even roland17 must agree now sey man pass man. goodness!

choi!

steady986:
Today na Tom Brady turn. Man is having a stinker.

lol, i jus dey laugh as a40 and roland17 cease fire by force. everybody collecting this weekend. inside life
