i was gonna reply sha then I said imma wait for a40

Lol

A40:
Lmaooo. When Lebron balls out una go dey hyper. Kyrie destroyed it una no still wan give am credit

Offensively Kyrie is better than Pippen, Gasol and certainly Bynum. Thank God say I delineate am make confusion no for dey.

Pippen as good as he was was a sub 45% 16ppg player. Make we no rewrite history sha

I see as u take add offensively. Well done dia. I gave kyrie credit. I even said earlier this year that he will carry the team more and lbj take a back seat...look it up. I just know that your kyrie hype is not genuine. But we accept it...may Kyrie become better than kobe sef. Ameen!

The Chief of Defence Staff control the 3 members of the armed forces which are the Army,Navy & Air force because their heads report to him & it is his constitutional duty to oversee all of them & give direction where necessary but the Chief of Army Staff only control the Army.

are you a leaner? chief of defence is a figurehead. COAS is the one that has the power to orchestrate or stop coups

SmooshCHN:
If you told me you were a Cavs fan I'd argue.. I always thought you were the Celtics or just you just had dislike for the Warriors makes your shout out LeBron (not Cavs)

Na Lola and Co I dey shade. At least they should show up when they lose.

Even the thread has been soft. If it's to mention "Blew 3-1 lead" you'll see them like ant on sugar.

agreed im not really a cavs fan. more an lbj fan. but i like most of the guys playing on cavs this year. On the other hand, I love IT, but boy I hate the celtics. dirty *****

lolawilliams abeg show face o

A40:
Walahi na that Kyrie I fear pass. That boy is fearless and arguably the best finisher and closer in the league.

In terms of pure offense no M.J never had that luxury, Kobe certainly didn't after Shaq left

Loool. Hyping Kyrie to diminish lbj. We take all compliments. May kyrie continue to get better

Make una dey rewrite history...so kyrie is now better than pippen? and gasol/bynum combo does not count? weeeeeh done sir

SmooshCHN:
Please let's all agree for once that there isn't any genuine fan of the Cavs on this thread.. Like Damn!! You can't show up when you lost by 1pt until after 24hrs, even when you pull a win, you can't even shout out uncle Drew.. Come on!! Kyrie about to have a back spasm from carrying the Cavs..

call me out by name na, bros. I was here, didnt have anything to post. abi is that a crime? shey we are monitoring post counts now to determine who is who.
my lbj fandom goes back a decade plus, from when spurs swept the cavs, to bullyings and beating by celtics and pistons, to mavs stealing one. I stayed loyal through sweet victory and (very) painful defeat. So let me ask you: How long have you been following warriors?

Donlittle:
Fam, how you mention lebron and not kyrie? Im schleep

see above, lol. Kyrie is the star of this game no doubt. Just referencing the lebron haters coming out of the woodwork. Let me get some pesticide

Donlittle:
The celtics played well, but uncle drew went off. But, listen the cavs flaws showed the last two games. When they are playing a team that moves the ball well, they struggle. The other teams they played against were really a one on one kinda team i believe. But celtics have been moving the ball since IT went out, and cleveland has struggled, although they closed out the game well today.

I am just saying, which team is a better mover of the ball, with better players than GSW?

you cant judge this game like that imo. It was more a mental breakdown for cavs than anything the celtics did ball movement wise (just like celtics mental breakdown in game 2 made cavs look better than they were). Celtics had nothing to loose, so they just played easy and let the 3s fly. Rim opened up and they had lots of second looks and good bounces. They would have beaten any other team in the league not named warriors. If you are a cavs coach, you have to accept "ugly" games like this. There are some games where everything just goes the other teams way. If you still win that type of game, you are special. Hats off to uncle drew

character win for the cavs. Down 16 with celtics playing loose and all shots falling (even bank shots), cavs found a way to win. Lebron's performance was not great, but he stuck with it. Even though he didnt get the superstar calls and got fouled repeatedly, he still willed himself to a decent game.

I like this kind of win because it forces the cavs to dig deep mentally. LBJ needs this kind of situations to stay humble, focused and ready.

A40:
Basketball can be a funny game at times. The irony here is the Cavs have played better since James sat. The perimeter D is poor tho. If them carry this one meet Golden State iku niyen oh

This IT injury na real blessing in disguise

I wonder what this means for IT during salary negotiations

Lebron needs to man up!!

Donlittle:
THIS THE BEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME AND HE GOT 4 FOULS IN THE SECOND QUARTER. MAN, IF YOU THINK THIS NIGGA THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THE GAME. FUCCK YOU!

Make we see second half na

Wao! Cavs need to concentrate on just playing Boston. Stop worrying sbout golden state or mvp or whatever.

A40:
Spurs vs Pistons debatable ke? You mean the year they faced the Suns in the West and the Pistons vs Shaq and the Heat in the West? I no agree oo

It is easier for the Cavs and Golden State to attract star players and make trades my guy. Korver, Williams, West, Pachulia are all taking change to play for them. Ray Allen was on a minimum to play for the Heat.

Lool. Karl Malone was like 40, Gary Payton like 36 or 37. I don't know why una like to dey use that 2004 team as example. They were geriatric bruh

These geriatrics got to the wcf, no?

A40:
Arguably the worst Conference Finals in the history of the league. On one end a team crippled by injuries on another end a team hopelessly overmatched. Its tragic especially compared to last year's Finals

I agree these playoffs have been crap. Spurs Pistons was worse but thats debatable.

But my question is, whose fault is it. When warriors who got to the finals still went hard after Durant and a few other pieces, what was the rest of the west looking at? Other than rockets, who else? When cavs, the reigning champs kept making trades all season where was the rest of the east?

The super teams argument is an excuse! Detroit pistons with no superstars beat the lakers with kobe, shaq, payton and malone!! I refuse to blame 2 teams for working hard to get where they are while other teams were sleeping

Roland17:
If you give IT the max contract, don't forget Big AL is also on a max so it is imperative you provide help for IT to justify the max, else it would be a grievous financial error.

If im Isaiah, im like wetin concern me... Who told u guys to bless Horford like that... Im playing better than horford... I must hit jackpot too.

If front office tries to talk grammar I think it could get ugly

Roland17:
This result buttresses the argument to trade the pick and other guards for a PG13 or Hayward because IT can not take the Celtics past Bron.

For all the heart IT has, sometimes you need that size. I just hope the brother gets the heavy payday due. Max contract imo

SmooshCHN:
You're up by 41 points and LeBron, Kyrie and Love is still in the game. Either Lue is stupid or players like LeBron just padding which makes zero sense. This is plain stupid. What happens if they get injured?

Practicing rotations they think they will need for golden state. That is how much they fear the warriors. Notice the emphasis on lebron taking jump shots and Love getting touches in garbage time. I expect to see Korver get a lot of 3pt looks in the 4th. I still dont know how dwill will be used. They gon need this offensive firepower for the finals

A40:
Fam I told you the Celts were hopelessly overmatched.

These Cavs are too wicked. Up 40plus and still using the starters

I tell you i no understand dis kin ogbanje game

I dey road all day. Just checked the box score...sey wetin happen at half time o

Donlittle:
I saw the post with some fans saying trade IT blah blah blah, stupid if you ask me, you don't trade away your best player because the player in the world is eating him up on the pick and roll.

Now onto the pick, i think most reason every one is saying trade him for PG or Hayward is because the draft is guard full. If their is one position the celtics don't need players, it is with guards. You have bradley, thomas, marcus smart, and terry rozier i believe. The best players are in the guard position with this draft?

Draft a guard and bench/trade who among their guards? Or draft a guard and keep him till he develops?

Yeah true talk. Celtics are guard heavy. I think ainge will trade some guards regardless of what they do with the pick

I think Celtics are getting ahead of themselves here, Even Pierce is saying to exchange draft pick for stars who can win NOW.

This is a mistake - dont forget, no 8 seed bulls with a healthy Rondo could have taken this team to 7 games. Wizards took them to 7 and it could have gone either way depending on home court. Raptors and Pacers would have given Celtics similar headaches.

Ainge is about to make the mistake baby Bulls made - trying too hard to win NOW, and disposing of pieces that would become important later. You know how long LBJ has been in the league? How long warriors have been building? WHY ARE CELTICS RUSHING? I dont think Celtics are anywhere near complete for a championship run. Even if they win in the East, whoever comes out of the west will blow them away. Keep the pick, Keep Isaiah and build.

Ignore the fans impatience - if you trade away a future allstar, it will cost you your job in a few years.

Ahn

You've submitted your dab offering. My babalawo has entered night shift

Na awa work

lol!

Eruditor:
I am just seeing that LBJ played 42mins to get 38pts.

Naah, the dude is playing for his stats. He had no business playing for that long in a blow out game except that.

I hope his fans don't use fatigue as an excuse later when things go south for him.

Lue tries Lebron in different rotations, especially towards the end of the game. All playoffs, they have used garbage time to put Lebron and D will on the floor at the same time - these guys are focused on continually getting better. And it would have been a bad idea to sit Lebron out for too long. the Celtics made two really strong comeback rallies and cut that game to single digits.

SmooshCHN:
That awkward moment the NBA fans are praying for competition and the Celtics brought Lube for rape and the Spurs unfortunately lost two key players. And the Cavs fans are so happy for another sweep to add to their Kings resume..

The league is bleeped up Mhen. We need to listen to Doc Rivers. Both Eastern and Western teams should be reshuffled. I don't know how but playoffs has been boring especially from the east in the last 2 years and the West thanks to Warriors.

Ultimately, other teams have to bear the blame - Spurs, warriors, cavs, celtics - these guys are dominating as the last 4 because of good front office decisions and team culture. I dont think reshuffling is going to matter here.

A40:
Shame on the Wizards for not beating the Celtics and giving us a shot at a competitive series. You guys just don't get how terrible a matchup the Celts are for the Cavs. At least with the Spurs vs Warriors a 4 day break and healthy Kawhi still leaves hope.

Like Charles Barkley I'm watching NHL instead of some of these games

People are not giving enough credit to the cavs defense in the first half - I dont care who they play like that, they wer going to open up a double digit lead.

some ppl are saying celtics are a btter matchup, others are saying wizards. I also think wizards are better, because all the bullying and physical plays celtics like to instigate dont do much against a big cavs team. But one thing is that celtics will punch you in the mouth, guaranteed, which is why they may be better for the cavs.

I normally dont root for spurs, but im on board now

A40:
And that goatie is hideous fam. No self respecting team should let a ninja rocking that goatie beast them. He had more pts in the 4th quarter than the entire bench of Washington. They need to send that Jennings to China tbh

wiz choked. suddenly forgot rotations and lost olylynk on multiple possessions. but celtics are definitely deserving of the win. they will challenge the cavs

I wish I were a celtic or wizard fan tonight. This playoffs has been marked by too many blowouts - a tense game 7 is just what the doctor ordered. I dont see how Celtics could lose this game. I expect Wizards to fold early under pressure. But then again, the last 2 ganes they won, I was surprised. Roland17, how market. Get some rolaids handy mehn

Roland17:
Which kain family game we dey follow Wizards play sef?

lmaooooo. the way wizards are chest bumping, u know they thought this was the end of the road. I dont think Ive ever seen a home crowd so scared...even when wiz were up by 10 the arena was quiet.

see wall dey bone....pesin wey dey shake like leaf all game.live to fight anoda day!

Eruditor:
I definitely agree, but playing ahome with their backs against the Wall I expected a blow out win I won't lie.

Why did MDA bench triple Dekker even when his presence in the first half helped y'all reduce the deficit to 18 and he made 2 huge 3s out of 4 tries?

dantoni's stubbornness is legendary. the guy looks quiet, standing like a gentleman on the sidelines. But that dude is a volcano of stubbornness and wrath lol

Wey skywalker5 btw. Abi ur team no even make playoffs ni?
