This Clippers team is a fraud!

And Kawhi and PG? Damn!

The Heat wins!

Oh that clutch block by Adebayo!

SmooshCHN:
Butler.

At this point, I don't even want the West to win.

Dude is legit!

OT! Game on!

Roland17:
Shouldn't the embolden be enough to get past the Nuggets? I mean Kawhi, PG and the 2nd unit should be enough..The Nuggets are not going 10 deep na.

What I meant is the Clippers need the other players including their second unit to do their bit especially in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Their over reliance on Kawhi and PG in games 5 and 6 cost them both games in my opinion.

etidy:
Exactly the clippers will beat the nuggets in game 7 and everyone will be on kawhi's dick about his greatness (he's indeed great) but let's be real the clippers are better than the Nuggets and are in reality the most loaded team in the league.

A team with 5 players in double digits in the regular season, 3 all nba defenders, 2 6th man of the year off the bench, multiple snippers, one of the greats in kawhi and a former mvp candidate and current all-star in pg has too much weapon and experience to lose a game 7 vs the nuggets

if their players not named Kawhi and PG and their second unit don't get it together like what happened in games 5 and 6, it may be a long day for them, provided the Nuggets don't cave in themselves.

Clippers- Nuggets is beginning to turn into something else o. Hmmm.

I see a game 7!

Roland17:
Westbrook no go kee me!
Baba is down by 26 and mouthing off saying “You can’t guard me, you got to double me”. If you are wondering, he has only 8 points...

This one off me!!!

It made Lebron laugh

Salient points by Moghalu.

We need more men with the vision, character and courage to steer this country in the right path in positions of leadership and power.

God send us such men.

steady986:
Lol. Imagine the great Danuel House stopping LeBron from making the conference finals

Bad guy

If the 3s aren't falling in then it's au revoir for the rockets for it's all they got.

SmooshCHN:
Underrate Playoff LeBron and his boys at your own risk.


The Lakers have be best big 3 in LeBron, AD and Westbrook.

Saw what you did there

Abeg, make una easy on my guy

Rondo is the 3rd Lakers' star in this series! Do is good.

We called him AjibaRock in the east. Played for IICC/3SC. As solidly built as a rock. He was a very hard and no-nonsense defender.

I believe Ajibade and Bright Omokaro should be our hardest defenders in more recent years.

Those where the days hardness counted for something as defender.

Rockets win. This small ball Rockets are holding their own defensively against the Lakers. Hmmm.This is going to be a very tough series.

It's like Giannis was injured. His ankle. May have contributed to his below par performance and the number of minutes he played.

The Bucks folded, 4th quarter. They have no soul.

The Heat! Who would have thought? A broom! Damn!

Just like you promised in 1999 to make Aba the Japan of Africa.

Audio promises and manifestos, I salute you.

Afr0mentalist:
Well, what’s the point ? The clippers will eat the nuggets like kFC.

The point - there is something called the thrill of victory. After coming from 3-1 down in this series, they deserve to savour it. Let them .They earned it.

Memberclub:
Yeah. He's a starter now for the Raptors.
Sadly very average like siakem

Average?

Anunoby, has a big heart and plays hard on both ends of the floor. Made some big plays today and kept his cool under pressure while Siakam and some others couldn't handle the pressure. He is a good player with the potential to improve.

Congrats to Denver. Jokic saved their ass today. He was cool and clutch under pressure. Jamal Murray plus the entire team sans Jokic, after putting up a good first half lead, bottled it from the 3rd quarter all the way to the end.

Mitchell, got his mojo back and took over the game from the 3rd quarter. That last ball slip will haunt him for a long time. And Conley's in and out? Painful loss.

Sorry Jazz.

Someone will have to go home.

Big ups Denver.

iskoki:
Haven't been on this thread but this morning's events were extraordinary. Russell Westbrook, I really feel bad for him. Can't wait to hear what Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe have to say.

What I don't understand is some coaches leaving unfit stars/marquee players in the game even in the all important 4th quarter to the detriment of results.

For crying out loud dude is just coming back from injury. His form will not be the finest; he will be more error prone especially during clutch time. Save his ass. Pull him out late in the game.

Now, this loss is on him.

Smh

Jimmy Butler! The Butler show! The Heat is a good defensive team.

Giannis struggled a bit. Too many turn overs did the Bucks in.

bukatyne:
No joke, it is on NL that all married women are in bondage or married men don't live their lives.

It is here I also learnt career is something you start working today and build tomorrow.

When most of my senior colleagues are recounting tales of the work they have put in, we would be calculating 'I was in 200L or I just finished secondary school then.'

Funnily, the school/work/marriage & career model actually gives you the most time to do whatever. See Omoni who even took a break from acting: she can now act forever. Omotola used to take her babies to set so all her characters was a young mother. Now the kids have grown and she is traveling the world.

There was someone I met during service: a beautiful lady married at 17 because her dad died. This lady had two kids and said she wanted to go back to school. Everyone said no, her mother said her husband would start sleeping with her maid and she told them they were free. She was able to finish school, had a dream to work somewhere unfortunately, the place packed up.

When you hear her talk and her dreams despite her circumstances then, you would marvel.

I have not seen anyone hungry for success so much claim marriage stopped them.

This is overly simplistic and a hasty generalization. It's an insult to the souls of women who paid the humongous sacrifice that family/marriage demanded of them by giving up their own dreams.

chic2pimp:
Yup.....I was fully expecting either an OT victory or a Buzzer beater. I am actually enjoying this series and silently hoping the thunder takes game 6. Game 7 is what we all want.

Let's see if OKC still have it in them to do so. Arms crossed. Game 6, I wait.

chic2pimp:
The Rockets are running away with it tonight. There is clear daylight between the two teams now.

Surprising given the half time scores. Schroder let his team down.

birdman:
The players are serious about a movement. And they are making mistakes because of lack of experience. I hope they get better and more organized after the Bucks fiasco. The miscommunication could have been used to weaken the movement as a whole.

In my mind I keep seeing Giannis making the coconut head decision. Boycott is not a rebound

It was George Hill that started and led it.

A40:
What will they say about health workers that are in the line of fire every day. A lot of these athletes are just entitled and that's the truth. It's easy to take certain stands because your livelihood does not require you to show up at work every day

The world has turned upside down for so many people. Yet some still have it better than others

I get your analogy but remember that what we were dealing with(still are to an extent) since February was an existential fear. Will I live or die? What will happen to my loved ones? There is no logic to such fears. It's primal, it's primitive, it's animalistic.

The effect on individuals and their loved ones will be different and the effect on their thinking and actions and behaviours and performance and preparedness as athletes will be different.

I also mentioned that the effect of the absence of fans on players will be different depending on their makeup.

Some people thrive in uncertainties and fear, some just shut down and some are overwhelmed by the curves the pandemic threw them. So I believe these factors have played out to varying degrees in this bubble.

It's not the only factor at play in this bubble but it is an important factor worth considering and noting.

benji93:
This is a competitive sport man. I don't want to undermine the fact that we are different, but then all the players can come out and complain about this and that being the reason they faltered or failed to win. perhaps the NBA should have been scrapped as we are different. My point is keep quiet and find a way to adapt. So perhaps it's clear why there's a lot of talk about this year's championship having asterisk. If one guy wins, well the others must have been badly affected by the pandemic. Or if another guy loses his performance must have been seriously impaired by the pandemic. Way to go.

The way I see it is that the pandemic created a certain kind of environment and danger that certain kinds of people/athletes will thrive in while certain others will wilt.

The pandemic with all its consequences can be seen as a revealer of vulnerabilities and of levels of resilience and of adaptation and of flexibility.

For example, some players can perform better without the fans, while some will need to draw their motivation and energy from the fans.

Some people can thrive in war times but are nobody's in peace time. The war is an opportunity for those who have been built for war time to shine, for those who can adapt to thrive and for those who can't to cower and to lose.

benji93:
I hope PG is sure he has finally turned a corner. I hope he's sure this performance is not 1 good in a about half a dozen samples. He's definitely following someone's lead here. . Perhaps the elders can help us with that. But what's the fuss about the pandemic got to me or the pandmeic has interrupted my routine. You are all under the same conditions. So others should have been affected as much as you've been. He better hopes he doesn't drop poverty stats in subsequent games.

While I am not holding forth for him, humans are not robots. What affects A may not affect B. The effect of the pandemic on individuals will be different because our perceptions are different and we experience things differently.

somehow:
They are not black but brown.

Brown with different shades of brown.

No one is black.

Nothing like black skin

Keep quiet if you haven't been to those countries and seen deep black colours. You think the black world starts and ends with Nigeria and South Africa and Ghana? Rubbish!

Your hair is what colour? Shade of brown or black? The hairs on your body nko? On your private parts? So because they are black they are evil? God created evil on your body?

If we go by the definition of black as evil, who wants to be called dark brown? Evil brown?

No wonder most of our girls are bleaching the hell out of their lives and souls.

Tufia!

Go to Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Mali and Sudan and see the colour black and then come and erase this hogwash you just typed.

Nonsense and ingredient and brown colour my foot.

Horerku:
Had a rough and very terrible upbringing. So that's a major suspect but been trying to balance that part. I have started eating good and take care of myself well, but instead of getting becoming mature i have been having height. Although i think the height thing have stopped now, cos i sense i grow taller every month before but i think for past 6 months i haven't grown taller.



I'm not a troll sir, please calm down

Looking at what you are going through and the story of your life, there is likely a link between what you are going through and your terrible upbringing. There is an intelligence that runs through life.

My guess is that you have a tall and abusive dad/caregiver in the mix somewhere. That will be the subconscious reason for your body's decision to skip puberty and reach adulthood quickly and also the logic behind the quick spurt of growth to 6.5 to rise above the height and the intimidation of the fearful abuser. This was an adaptation to protect you and keep you and your loved ones safe. Life is intelligent.

If there is some semblance of truth to this my conjecture, then I will also encourage you to to go to a therapist to heal your traumatic past in addition to your hospital trips. Mind-body medicine has proven that what happens in our minds affect what happens to our body and that we can heal our body by healing our minds.

My 2 cents.

We can talk more about this if you wish.

chic2pimp:
Nope no chance. I saw a stat that read NBA teams are 136-0(not sure exactly) after going 3 Nil down

No chance until some team does it. Remember Cleveland Cavaliers' 3-1 2016 comeback. No team had ever come back to win the finals from 3-1 down .
