Danielnino00:
She's already listed in US Olympics preliminary squad..

...woow, thanks for this, can you point me in the direction of this list..Thanks once again.

Anybody knows if Arike ogunbowale has ever been called up to the national team before... She seems a really good shooter, a pressure shooter... I think our coach can look in that direction, shes also a point guard i believe... Makes it even better.

JorgedeToledo:
You may be right on the coach not trying to give too much away.
I hope we can get good shooters added to this team. That will make us really robust.

.... I am hoping for that, maybe one or two of the girls that we have not might be a good shooter.

JorgedeToledo:
I didn't know the game will take place earlier than I thought.
The coach still decided to make use of only 8 players throughout the game.
He made use of Nicole, Aisha, Amy, Oderah, Sarah, Atonye, Promise and Pallas,
It appears he is trying to experiment with them on something.
Lastly, they will need to train hard for 3-point shooting. I hope that the likes of Erica Ogwumike and Elizabeth Williams will be good at 3-points shooting.

... I think he is trying not give too much away, i feel he has done the permutations and believes we could meet or something, in the Olympics that is. I noticed Promise and Ezinne did not play... Maybe they played before i tuned in... Well you can train the threes but, if the 3 pointers r not in you, its hard to work on... I hope the remaining players we have would be tested in other friendlies.. I sincerely wish we can get 1 or 2 good shooters... Lets watch and see.

PDPGuy:
Chei!
I’m just waking up now, didn’t know the game would start earlier

.... Lol, i was suprised too, just checked and realized yhe game already started.

Belgium 74; Ngr 40...

3rd qtr, chai... Apparently, it was during half time that i tuned in, Belgium beating atm

Girls already warming up...

It seems thw game will start earlier than 4 pm today. Just checked the linked and i saw them intwrview our coach... If anyone knows thw time, please tell us, so we do mot miss this game... cc.. PDPGuy...

PDPGuy:
Yep.

To be fair, this match eventually turned out to be a contest between evenly-matched teams.

The major difference in this game was the Serbians distinct advantage with their excellent 3-point shooting. That’s an area D’Tigress have to improve upon

I have a suggestion, i think you should just name this thread.. Nigerian basketball thread and remove the Tokyo 2020 tag. The reason for this is, after Tokyo 2020,what happens... I think if you remove the Tokyo 2020,we could just amke it a permanent thread that can run for years, the thread would be for anything basketball without having a time frame.

PDPGuy:
I don’t know if Macaulay is injured.. If she ain’t injured it’s odd that she hasn’t been fielded at all. Same with the other players you listed; I don’t know if coach Hughley is reserving them for tomorrow’s game against the 6th-ranked Belgium

.. I do not think he is reserving anybody, i think he is testing everybody to see their current form. Some players might not be around due to other domestic reasons. I believe this is not the last of friendly or tournament they have before Tokyo, so he would still have opportunity to see other players current form.

Nice game, our ladies played well, however, i wish we have shooters on the squad.. I dont know how many 3 pointers we dropped, however, i think it is low... I rhink we would need that when we play big teams that can also move so as to stretch the floor.. All in all, i am proud of them..

JorgedeToledo:
PDPGuy said Erica is doing her school exams. I don't know about Akhator's absence.

.... Yeah, thanks.

JorgedeToledo:
How about Erica Ogwumike, why isn't she in the team?

.. I honestly do not know, i have not seen evelyn akhator too.

PDPGuy:
Yes I agree.
That’s any area where Amy Okonkwo will be useful. She’s a pretty good shooter from what I saw yesterday.

... She seems to be, however, i think she plays the power forward/center role, where she is usually close to the rim, i would love guarda that can light it out... Hence stretxhing the floor more for others to operate...

PDPGuy:
D’Tigress should attempt more shots from beyond the paint because the Serbians are so good in defending their paint.

And the team should convert more of their 2 v1 situations

.. I think flat out the only thing that our team is lacking is great 3 point shooters.. Sarah Ogoke used to be that, however, i think her form dropped, if we have 2 good shooters on the squad with this quickness, hustle plays, slashers to the rim. We would be very hard to stop.

PDPGuy:
Same link as yesterday

.. Ok.. Tjanks..

JorgedeToledo:
It should be 4PM Nigerian time today (29/5/2021).

..... Okay, thank you, anyone that has a link to where to watch the game should drop it here...

PDPGuy:
Y’all are welcome

.. Sup bro, when is our next game.

PDPGuy:
Okonkwo is an early contender for player of the match

.... Shes good..fundamentally sound, has a little bit of size... We would need that agaisnt the U.S and European teams.... She is fun to watch. She also has very good freethrows...

.. NGR 48 : P-RICO 29...Our ladies r doing well..

End of 1st qtr in our favour : Ngr 17: poto rico 13.

. Gracias...

Let go!!!!

Am sorry, but, "ikoyi"and" affordable" cant be in the same sentence.... Well...affordable is relative...

Hi carbonado, I do have an interest in photography but amateur level though. I'm into urban planning and have a passion for architecture. SA is very rich in both and though we are fairly developed in our cities and towns there's much to do before we can reach real developed status by world standards. I think we've got a lot here to inspire other countries on the continent on things we've got right.

I hope you do visit. Despite the narrative by some, SAs are very welcoming to visitors/migrants, just remember there's more to the country than the big cities.

Photography and architecture was screaming out of the pictures. Yeah, i think SA is one of the countries up there as regards infrastructure in the continent of Africa. I also love architecture. I would most likely make it down to SA, when it will happen, is what i do not know for now....Keep the pictures coming....

Joziboi:
Thanks guys for viewing this thread and taking it to over 4K views in such a short time. It's sometimes hard to know if it's being enjoyed because there's so little feedback but the views count is appreciated and encouraging. I'll keep on posting...

... Hey.... I love the pictures, keep them coming SA is beautiful,. A friend resently just moved to SA due to work(Amazon). He is loving it. Told him i do like to visit sometime... By the way, are you into photography? #UBUNTU..

Goal.... See pass..

TheSuperNerd:
Listen here mister man. I have told you before to come to me with something intelligent to say and not your usual empty babblings. You always ignore the context.

Osimhen reached 10 goals in Serie A faster than Cavani and Higuain did in their own first seasons with Napoli. That is hard fact.

Osimhen reached this mark despite having to battle various injury/health episodes for months. Cavani and Higuain didn't battle those yet Osimhen came back and bagged double digits faster than those two did.

How you deliberately continue to ignore the fact that this lad is on the goals count he is despite having to go through hell healthwise tells me what a slow understanding you have or probably tells me you are just a guy who types nonsense to irritate people on purpose.

And please, cease with your silly playing down of the lad. His all round game is not just "Okay". It is actually top notch and getting even better. Merci.

... Osimhen is legit, man going to be a real problem years to come, i watch Napoli play and in my opinion, it takes a real one to make an impact (which Osimhen has made) as a center forward as some players tend to be selfish with ball. Let love lead..

The question i will like to ask Mr governor is if your children was among the students kidnapped, will you approve the bombing of the bandits. Empathy and compassion is really far from our leaders. What happened to negotiating with the bandits get the students out and bomb the living dead out of the bandits after securing all the hostages, but no, you will rather bomb everybody together. SAD MUCH.

infofirst:
Why did you start with 5k in the first place? First rule of the contest is to read the rules nd follow. No exemption. Good if you are able to reduce the balance.

...because 1k was not available....

@ infofirst, lol,apparently,fxblue treats withdrawals of funds as drawdown, anyway, maybe the next one, as they just sent a mail to that effect. All the best folks,i see Nigerian traders doing great things in the future, just how our music industry is doing...Peace.
