Absolutely Fuming tbh. Can't believe this lot surrended a two goal lead. They get your hopes High only to shoot it right back down again. Jheeeeze!

Ibraaaahimovic

Is it coming home?

Leave me alone let me sulk in peace!

Eruditor:
Bruh, you know he was posting that because they whooped the LAL at the Staple centre. It is from the same quarters that Giannis was wished an injury to protect Lebron's legacy.

Well I am willing to give Him the benefit of doubt this time.

steady986:
The Rockets got brought back down to earth. They'll wanna rethink their strategy going forward. I blame the Lakers for giving them some hope last night though...or perhaps that game came too quickly.

No Westbrook, No Gordon(left early) and on a back to back after a tough away game. I won't go that far just yet. I need to see this system with all players fit a little longer before coming to any conclusions.

A40:
I don't see it in Harden, AD as #1 guys that can lead a team to a title. Even Embiid has not showed that yet in my eyes

I have a little more faith in Jokic and Giannis

Hot take Bro. Jokic,Giannis and AD are around the same level as they all pretty much stil unproven in the Playoffs. Also Embiid's being such an Unfit f@#$er pretty much decided the Raps Philly series last year. His on/off point differential over the 7 games they played last season was Massive.

I know say you no like Harden so make I leave that one.

A40:
Better shooter yes but not a sniper. Plus he's a sieve on defense and is a significantly inferior passer.

Butler is definitely not a #1 guy in a Championship winning team but can you say Embiid or Simmons is? Can you count on them to give you multiple buckets in close games?

I think they should have allowed Harris walk even if they didn't hold on to Butler and use that money to surround Embiid and Simmons with shooters. They low-key have a spacing problem pending when Richardson returns. The lineup of Horford and Embiid with Simmons would be interesting to watch come playoff time. Especially late in games

As I said He is definitely not the overall better player. Simply just a better shooter. Butler does everything else better

Simmons definitely NO, well not yet anyways. Embiid on the other hand I totally see it. The only thing that worries me about that dude is His fitness. If I were to ask you "Do you see the likes Giannis,Jokic,AD, Harden as No1 Guys in Championship winning teams?". If the answer is Yes, then I don't see why you can't include Embiid in that convo. Many people will continue to doubt those aforementioned players until they actually get it done.

No way are they going to play that Line up in the Playoffs vs Any other team but the bucks. They are simply asking for trouble if they did that. I do agree that they should not have signed Harris. Surround that duo with Shooters and a deep bench and the NBA would have a serious problem on their hands.

A40:
Butler is just the type of guy a borderline contender like Philly would have used to whip up seriousness into these young guys. He's a closer and after seeing what he's doing in Miami with his leadership I also admit I was one of those that erroneously kicked against the Sixers paying him.

Look at Minnesota, they are now on a 12 game losing streak and what looked like a decent team has gone to dust since he left.

Harris when he doesn't score is borderline useless as he can't defend or playmake

Absolutely and I think that was one of the things the organisation was most fearful of. Sooner rather than Later Butler was going to clash heads with one of the organisation marquee players and then they would probably have had to trade Him. And maybe by then His trade value would have decreased.

It takes a certain of character to handle Butler. For example swap Wiggins for Giannis on that Wolves team and Butler still remains a Minnesota player til today. Someone with as strong a work ethic as He has and one who is not going to back down from a challenge. Heck you can see it with Bam who is co-existing with just fine.

Roland17:
I don't think the Sixers thought Harris was a better all round player, I think they were worried about the drama and baggage that Butler carries. They already have Embiid/ Simmons distraction and Butler would have made that worse. Butler Is a more flexible player when it comes to roles in comparison to Harris but I think the baggage/ distraction was an issue.

Exactly...There is no way Harris is the better player hence why I said "Better Shooter". He is a better player than everyone in that team not named Embiid(fully fit). Butler is more like a No2 Guy unlike Harris who is at best a No3 kind of Guy. Also Having Butler there would have meant one of Embiid/Simmons having to take a step back and I think the Sixers have invested so much in that Duo that isn't going to happen for the forseeable future.

I must say I am liking this Jamel Morant kid . Dude is Young,Brash, fearless and wants all the smoke. From mumbling "Tell this M£&@€ F@#*%^ about Me" to Harden and now this. Dude is not backing down from nobody no matter who you are and me likey.


Having said all of that, Steph is about to catch a case when He gets back. This has made a run of the mill regular season game into a Must see come next season.

A40:
The Sixers really chose him over Jimmy Butler. Smh

Though unjustifiable, the Sixers probably reasoned Harris was a better shooter and was more likely to fit in as the No3 Cog in a Championship contending team. Buckets is a no2 Guy. For all the Drama that He brings,i'd happily play second fiddle to a Guy He truly respects.

Roland17:
This would be the instance when Kobe snatches the sneakers off his feet and dump them in the trash!
RIP#24

LOOOOOOL

People are not nice. Someone just said Tobias has "Mamba Mentality" written on His sneakers then proceeds to drop 6 points. F#&#ing Bum!

Morant is viciously subtweeting Andre on twitter. You love to see it

A40:
I think they could divide the MVP into two. However I can understand why they gave Mahomes. The truth is with that guy under center you just don't believe you're out. You know it and the other team knows it.

He can play rubbish all game and yet you know he only needs 1 quarter.

Nah that's not going happen. Mahomes is the NFL's new golden goose. No way they'll let Him share that Award.

afrodoc2:
It is what it is. Mahomes came through in the 4th quarter like you predicted though.
I just like the way African-American quarterbacks are taking over.

Yup I knew that would happen. Dude is simply special. Hopefully He stays injury free for years to come. Had He not had quite a mediocre First half and thrown 2 picks, He would have quite happily given Him the MVP but as you said it is what is.

Also Very excited about the plethora of quality Black QBs in the league atm. It challenges the Stereotype that says they can only succeed at only certain positions on the field.

I love Mahomes but Dame Dash was the MVP of this SuperBowl. We might as well just name it the QuarterBack MVP.

afrodoc2:
I am a big fan and want him to win but history tells us the dominant defense usually beats the prolific QB

Whilst true, I don't any defence in the league can keep Mahomes quiet for a whole game. He already has a rushing TD btw. Keep the game close enough and watch Him takeover in the 4th.

Quiet game from Mostert thus far, looking for the Dude to explode sooner rather than later.

Errrrt I might have spoken too soon . Nah but with Patrick onboard, the impossibe becomes possible..Dude is a game changer

I said We might as well just hand Mahomes the Superbowl MVP a week or two ago.

Roland17:
This one off me. I can visualize him actually doing this and it is killing me with laughter. Kobe was more intense in the locker room before/ during and after games than he was on the court, it seems and from what I have seen.
#RIP24&GIGI

Bro I.could.control.my laughter when I first heard it. Such a Kobe Like story as well

A40:

"I said, 'Yo, I'm on to you. ... You want people to think you're a jerk, but you're one of the nicest guys in the world ...'"

—@TeamLou23 on a conversation he had with Kobe (via @LAClippers)pic.twitter.com/MVwqy7hwGO

— NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) January 30, 2020

Lou Williams really nails it here. Behind all the fire and intensity this was who Kobe was and became.

The one that cracks me up the most is the story about Kobe taking His Kobe signature sneakers off the members of the team and tossing them in the trash. They apparently could not be seen wearing them as they were all soft

What has Dame been smoking this past few games? Whatever Weed He is on, I need His dealer abeg. Dude has been on fireeeeee!

nurey:
Akano was a killer but not in the flogging aspect but bomb shelling department I remembered one of his best then in JSS3

I catch him, he run, I catch him again, he run, he enter the window, I enter the window, he jump out, I jump out, from my eyes to eyes I loose confusion. We all burst into laughter that day he didn't even know we were making jest of him.

Nah Bro Akano was both a Sheller and a Tanner. He could flog for days. He was as bad as Fagboro(I was classmates with Fagboro's Son btw)

Hahahahaha AKANOOOOO!..."Open the Air let the window come in"..."I saw you here, I saw you there, are you thrice?" were two of His famous shells.

nurey:
floreat

Fagbs was actually a decent flogger Akano on the other hand was a Killer.

nurey:
STABBED ASSEMBLY and was caught by the PKC, don't know how I escaped suspension/rustication but my yansh felt what no yansh has felt before in fagboros hand

I was actually going to ask if you went KC then I saw Fagboro. Yup you are definitely a KC lad. Floreat!

When Hidden was fit, Madrid was trailing, now that he is out Madrid is topping the league

If Madrid wins the league this season, Hidden will just be a carry along

Hahaha You hate to see it. Oneday Hazard will be free your wahala

Btw this is the article I was refering to

kushercain:
All truth bros

raumdeuter:
Without Hidden shakushaku hazard

Madrid 6points ahead in the league

I could have sworn that I saw an article that said Madrid have not only created fewer chances but also Goals have dried up since Hazard picked up His injury.

How is Bradley Beal not an All Star? Trae and Beal are quite similar..Great Offense, shitty defence. Not saying Beal is better but Trae made it as a starter and the difference between the two isn't that Big. Surely Beal should have made it as a reserve No? Then again looking at the list I'm left wondering which player you'd replace Him with.

A40:
Lol the Wizards are the worst defense in NBA history. Can't even put too much stock in that 50 piece

It's not just about the points He put up, It's also How efficiently He put up those points. The Split for that game was something like 60/60/100. Absolutely ridiculous. Also His split for this season alone are currently 50/43/90. I have been a huge critic of His in the past and If He shrinks in the Playoffs again, I'll be back on His case but abeg let's get credit to whom it's due.

I think it's fair to say Khash Money is currently showing us why the Bucks decided to fork out such a huge amount for His services. He really is earning His wages this season. All He has to do now is maintain this Level of performance come the playoffs.



I was really looking to Kobe and Lebron conducting a joint interview together a few years from now when Bron would have hung up His sneakers. The banter between those two would have been Epic.....Daaaang!

Ac Milan will be wearing black armbands in tonight's Coppa Italia game vs Torino in memory of one of our Favourite Sons Kobe. The Mamba was one of us. An avid and Lifelong Fan of Ac Milan, He vividly remembers watching the Likes of Gullit, Van Basten, Rijkaard and Maldini whilst growing up in Italy(Marco was His Favourite player)

RIP KOBE...The Rossonieri faithfuls sure will miss you.
