Birdman i love you though no homo.... let love lead abeg.

But it's unfortunate from dwinwiddie, asides black on black hate... they are both of nigerian descent.... omo nawa honestly. Na the hatred be that in full disguise.

bros no be our fault, na just bants . But jrue needs to pay me lawyer fees for d kin defense I don mount on his behalf for this thread. Bonus for d multi directional beating I have collected

For a fellow nba player to wish covid on someone so they miss game 6 scares me, for real. Which kin black on black haterade is this. Na curse?

A40:
Go and check the tweets of Dinwiddie and CJ. And I'm pretty sure some of these players in the league sheer such rubbish sentiment. There seems to be some sort of campaign for Khris friggin Middleton to be FMVP.

Yeah, just checked twitter . Perkins is low key dissing Giannis. Trying to hype Jrue to minimize the Giannis. Ol boy ...

A40:
There's a real Giannis hateration going on amongst players in that league. It's one thing for fans to hate but seeing the borderline Xenophobia from actual players, because that's what it is is so pathetic

Which players dont like Giannis. Guys record is squeaky clean. And he seems to mind his own business

[quote author=steady986 post=103821698][/quote]Ok. I could be wrong

steady986:
They came close in game 3 too with Booker playing hero ball and CP and Ayton playing trash. You can twist it however you want and I'll find situations that prove you wrong.

rewatch the last 6 minutes, from the point where cp3 imposed himself and knocked down the 3 at the top of the key. that threat freed up booker like in games 1 and 2. Bucks need to close this thing out next game. Shots wont always fall like they did tonite

what would be my motive to twist things Other than Harden, I dont have any player that I really root against. Even Harden gan, I might forgive him before year end

A40:
He's a dirty player

reminds me of bruce bowen on the spurs back in the day. Normally chill player, but when he ramps up defense, it gets borderline legal. You cant really say its an intentionally bad foul, at the same time you have to side eye the play

A40:
Deadass pushed this man mid air

yeah thats a dangerous foul. And it could have re-injured Giannis

joshboo:
At the end of the day, na you get your mouth and hand to dey type nonsense dey Yarn okoto meow, you be hater and there's no other adjective to qualitate you with your bs.

If na to abuse e get phd, but if na to reason, wahala dey i know you can rain insults page after page. my bad for even entertaining you and entering gutter with you. Nothing you do or type can faze me, so carry on. Let me stick to sensible posts o jare

steady986:
Oga dead this your narrative. The Suns big 3 all combined for 81 points. CP 9-16 (21pts, 56%), Ayton 7-12 (20pts, 58%), Booker 17-33 (40pts, 51%). And they still lost. How hot should they have gotten for them not to lose?

They came close no? You do all the right things and you have a good shot of winning, You play badly and you have no shot, Bro, nothing is guaranteed in this life, even if you do everything right

Roland17:
CP3 is the farthest thing from being liked in the league, people hate that guy like Kilode..it is not even close, worth more compared to Booker.

Even his teamates on pelicans hated him afterwards! Something about how he plays rubs everybody wrong. For me though, I like the fact that whoever he plays for, you gon get your moneys worth that season. Which is why I am very surprised a CP3 led team would lose a 16pt lead. crazy!

Roland17:
MAKE EVERYBODY BREATH EH!!!!! NA BASKETBALL AT THE END OF THE DAY OH!!!

Baba no oh, no be for where @Birdman dey! @Birdman has been consistent, infact, I have debated him about Giannis and respect in the league and that is why I said "Likable because that is one of the reason he uses to support Giannis. I think u guys read too much into a varying opinion about a preferred player, in this instance Giannis. You can like a player and still be critical na..

baba, these cats are not able to nuance anything. If its not a straight line from point A to B, na wahala. But its ok, there is verifiable history on this thread. joshboo and co dey yarn your dust and opata dey go. I dust it off my shoulder, JayZ style

Roland17:
You and "Likeable"! Everything na Likeable...

any player that plays with heart, im generally predisposed towards them. same for giannis btw

All those who want coach bud fired, aint happening now

Roland17:
Una don tag @birdman Giannis hater also? Una no dey try oh

Leave the brick heads. Any form of criticism must be hate.

never mind I was one of the lone Giannis supporters on the forum last year when he got disgraced in the playoffs and a40 and co were attacking the guy, and I was saying he will use this as motivation to come back stronger. Let them keep megedefegedeing

Am I the only person Booker rubs the wrong way? The only likeable person on the Suns in CP3. Bucks as a team are just more likeable imo

A40:
He's been getting those shots all playoffs long. Jesus tap dancing Christtt

Leave Jesus out of this, re-read what I wrote.

joshboo:
Abeg dey update me, my stream dey slow

1st quarter, suns up 16

Booker had that shot. He didnt want all the smoke

On cue, CP3 re-imposing himself on the game, allowing Booker to become dangerous. This is close!

A40:
You have started this opata yarnin again. Did you watch the first quarter? The only difference between today and last 3 games is Holiday is making his shots so drop this megedefegede

The other guys on the Suns are not ball dominant and this is their typical numbers all season long. Stop this dishonest analysis abeg

Bro, thats exactly what I have been saying. You got to give him those shots - thats the only way you beat the suns

A40:
Jrue Holiday was averaging 33% on 17 shots per game prior to this one. Dfkm man! What kind of dishonest take is this

Middleton is averaging 4 more shots per game than Giannis

I will repeat it for you again. The jump shooters need the touches so they can get hot. Its that simple. And they need plays designed for them, not Giannis passing out the ball with 3s left on the shot clock.

A40:
So which ball did Middleton share that had him taking 13 more shots than everyone else. This thing wey una get for mind against Giannis una go soon confess am

Shey you now see what im talking about - Giannis 16 shots, Middleton 18 shots, Jrue 16 shots. See how good the team looks? Make una drop dis african mindset that criticism means you are against the person. Everybody is a mini buhari these days

This is what I was saying. You would rather have Jrue and Middleton get hot - Giannis will get his anytime. If they keep this up, series is a wrap.

On the other hand, Booker is still trying to out-Kobe Kobe. CP3 who be distributing the rock is definitely not the same, not sure what is wrong but he usually is more assertive than this.

Funny how JVG always arguing for the big guys. As small as he is

A40:
And if Giannis starts knocking down 20 footers. Pack it up pack it in

Lol, I said the same thing. Bucks are definitely the better team

benji93:
Somebody came to mind when you said this. Is that why he has 6 finals losses? . I didn't call anybody's name ooo.

troublemaker

A40:
Guy. Jrue almost shot his team out of that contest. He's been abysmal and is only getting away with it because he's not named Eric Bledsoe and somehow CP3 has actually been worse.

Can honestly say that homecourt advantage was the only reason the Bucks were always able to rally each time they went behind. Middleton was not super efficient either but his buckets were timely. Giannis can't keep playing facilitator when your point guard is shooting 4/20. They won't get away with this on the road

That is exactly my point. You would rather supporting cast be cold in the beginning, and warm up. Than stay cold and not be able to help at the end of the game. You are not going to beat the Suns in 4 out of 7 games without this formula

A40:
Lol. Let's gloss over the fact that Booker should have fouled out. On the road the onus is usually on the star man to carry the mantle. Booker did his job, the rest didn't. Simple as that. So if they look bad it's because they didn't perform and it has nothing to do with Booker. You wouldn't say this if we switched Booker with Lebron

CP3 was terrible, Ayton ineffective, Bridges same thing the only guy who looked decent was Johnson. Crowder also had a decent game but do you really want to run your offense through Jae Crowder?

Again, that is my point. If you look at the stats, it looks like he did well. But he cost the team several possesions where he tried to be a superhero. Ruined several plays where no one got touches. At one point he told even CP3 to clear out. And he missed on that possession. Again, stop the stat watching, and see the flow of the game. You get everyone hot, and the superstar can take over anytime while the supporting cast stays hot. Giannis made this mistake in game 2. Booker in Game 4.

steady986:
He knocked down the shots at a below par efficiency. Let's not even talk of Jrue. In no situation is it a good idea to have this kind of discrepancy in shots between your superstar and your second option. That's a recipe for failure. The game was unnecessarily close going into clutch time and it could easily have gone the other way if not for some sloppy mistakes and the foul trouble on Booker. There were a couple of times Giannis asked for the ball and Middleton flat out shunned him. Giannis even made his frustration known one certain time the ball went out of bounds. We know Middleton should have the ball in the clutch, as he showed yesterday, but the first 3¾ quarters your superstar should be the one inflicting most of the damage, and maybe they wouldn't have had to face that scare at all. Just like game 3.

Middleton is a jump shooter. He needs the volume. Superstars that share the ball get everyone else going first, then get theirs. All those 50-50 loose balls that they beat the Suns to, it feeds off of being involved in the plays. the 2 games the bucks have won, it has been getting everyone involved, so where is the failure?

Seun:
While the north's tendency to support its people whether or not they have sense has helped them politically, it has also resulted in their region being the most impoverished in the country. The SS and SE people crying about marginalisation are more wealthy and better educated than the people marginalising them. So feel free to continue gloating, but the joke is on you.

To me, this is the real reason for a loose federation. So that everyone can reap what they sow. As it is, states that emphasize child education are subsidizing states that are ok with children skipping school and begging to subsist. Let everyone carry their governing style to its logical conclusion. The bandits and kidnappers plaguing the north are a direct result of policies they implemented.

steady986:
Interesting that Giannis took the most shots among the big 3 in this game. He took just 19. Jrue took 20, and Middleton took a whooping 33 shots. I believe if Giannis had more of the ball and took more shots this game wouldn't have been this close, because his efficiency is always top notch. He's sure of giving you at least 50% shooting every night.

Game 5 would be do or die for both teams. Anyone who wins it will most likely win the championship.

I think its the opposite. If the shots are there, take them. If not, let Jrue and Middleton carry the load. They gave Middleton those looks, and he knocked them down. Fantastic job by Giannis recognizing this, and still playing excellent defense.

On the other hand, Suns deferred to Booker too much, and he tried to carry the team. No one else on the team really got going. Thats the thing with superstar plays. If you rely on it too much, you have likely open teammates that are just standing there. Your stats will look good, everyone else's stat will look bad. This is what happened to Bucks in game 2, and everyone was praising Giannis and blaming the other 2. Now its the suns with Booker dropping 40 and everyone else looking bad.

Bucks wanted this more. Got all the 50-50 balls. Booker needs an attitude adjustment, for real
