Nuggets nicks it.

How Draymond Green is able to stop Jokic and other guys much bigger than him in this NBA is baffling. Respect.

Nuggets-Warriors game going down to the wire!!!!!!

Nugget's N. Hyland is the hot hand. Bang, bang, bang.

Now, make this resemble a competition.

Who is this doofus? Where did I say LeNomad's legacy is not settled. Didn't I do a top 10 here and put him in number 2? Did you see KD on my list?

Are you actually high on meth or something?

What is wrong with all these unhinged Bronsexuals running amok everywhere

Who said KD should not be judged? Who is policing what? Where did you see me shielding KD or defending him from criticism. Clearly you are insane

Is that the argument here or in your fit of Bronsexual rage you didn't follow the thread of discussion

My bad. I take the post back. I dey one joint like that.

A40:
These Bronsexuals no go kill person. No be una insert him name into conversation for series wey no concern am? Showing poor logic and poor critical thinking skills.

Nobody send your Jordan imposter. TV ratings are up in his absence for the playoffs he's losing relevance, na why desperate Bronsexuals still find means to chook am put for series wey dey happen for another conference. Meanwhile he no even make play in for him own conference

Guy forget this your megedefegede dust capping, Lebron's legacy and place among the greatest ever in basketball is cemented even if he never gets to the playoffs again. Repeat this first paragraph slowly so it can sink in.

KD is the one with a huge asterisk and a question mark and he has fallen shot and every analyst worth his salt on this planet is rightly calling him out and you are here trying to form voltron and police us here. Taa, shift joor!!!

KD should be judged with the same metrics and viciousness Lebron is judged and the jury is out brother, deal with it!

You don't know the star power and leverage these top tier superstars have in this league.

Nash was in the coaching crew when KD was with the Warriors and was assigned to help KD adjust to the Warriors style of play when KD joined them. They struck up a friendship from there and it blossomed into an untested Nash getting the Nets' coaching gig once KD agreed with his friend, Kyrie, they were both coming to the Nets.

You believe that? Yeah, he may have OK'd it, but what options did they give KD to choose from? Front office was just trying to cover their tracks. Like Lebron in LA. Billionaires are not consulting millionaires on who to give long term contracts.Forget all the paddyship on TV, its a business

birdman:
A lot of it is on Nash to get Durant open looks. When people were complaining that Nash jumped queue ahead of more experienced black coaches, it looked like envy. Now we know the guy just paddied his way into the job. There is no way Nash could have have been the best coach interviewed by the Brooklyn Nets.

Still, it is very instructive to see the people that were praising Durant like a god, suddenly about face.

KD brought Nash to the Nets.

Both KD and Kyrie, this L is on them. Most offensive skilled, most offensive skilled, that one is on paper. They just didn't show up when it was time for the do.

Please, going forward, no one should bring up KD's name on the same sentence with Lebron on this thread.

benji93:
I believe the pressure has gotten to him, and well the defense is crazy.

They ripped his heart out and destroyed his sense of belief.

This series is over! Bring the brooms!!

A40:
Exactly. What was their allure to Westbrook? Maybe they thought he would realize the window for a title was closing and he would humble himself, turns out he is dangerously delusional and the more the season wore on the more it became clear he was not about that winning life

Westbrooks lives in an alternate reality. Sadly, Lebron learnt this the hardway. He got brainwashed by dude.

I remember in the Bubble playoffs, Houston Rockets vs Lakers, Brodie was bricking his shots and having a poor game on both sides of the floor while they were being blown out, but he was still beating his chest and mouthing off arrogantly, "you can't guard me!" repeatedly, which made Lebron laugh. That's a lack of awareness. That's delusion. That's alternate reality.

Zach Lavine.

In front of the home fans, this performance by their superstars is embarrassing.

Finally, Trae came up clutch when it mattered. Gritty comeback.

Okongwu will make it in the NBA.

birdman:
When did this happen? If so, then its worse than I thought

The issues started in the preseason.

SlyCharlie:
this......



a few moments later.....




ladies and gentlemen i presnt to u ... THE FAN. looooll

Human nature. Variableness. Shadow of turning.

BykeLaByke:
Omo guy.

I was banging my head in that first half.

Didn't know the king of the 4th had other plans.

Derozan's entire legacy and rep was on the line if he didn't show up big in this play off. Last game, he was just bricking everything. Glad he found his mojo.

A40:
Of course he was not entirely faultless but this is a veteran veteran team. They should have been able to police themselves

Those players quit on themselves. Remember when Fizdale stepped in, they were still losing

There was a lack of accountability from top to bottom. People were scared to get in each other's face instead passing subliminals to each other via the media

It's tough to do anything with that collection of players

Veterans-superstars-role players-coach fit matters. That's the lesson.

I remember D.Wade and Lebron discussing how they settled for Bosh in forming the Miami big 3. They said they chose him specifically because they knew he was so cool headed and drama free and would complement them well.

A40:
The problem was not stacking stars. It was not doing the work to build an identity and thinking the league would just roll over and fold because Lakers, they had this arrogance and assuming energy. You listened to their press conferences from LeNomad to AD to Westbrook. They took the warning signs for granted right from preseason where they lost every single game. That should have rung alarm bells but they stayed snoozing. I said it here that teams seemed to be intentionally raising their game just to humiliate the Lakers. This was kinda what Shaq was talking about. Though in a slightly different context, nobody was scared of this team

I don't know that anyone expected them to fail this badly. It's hard to convince me that you believed a team with AD, Lebron and Westbrook would not finish top 10 in the conference. Not even the most doomday scenario could have seen this happening. Vogel has already proven himself as an elite defensive coach when he had the personnel. The problem is the ingredients Pelinka handed him did not give the man a fighting chance

Lebron was caught up in proving he was still that guy and stopped defending, the man was launching 8 3's a game. Assist numbers dropped and this whole myth of how he makes others better was further rubbished this season. His usual passive aggressive vibe instead of being the bad guy with his chest like Kobe or the GOAT would do caused further issues. You recruited a guy you couldn't tame and get to buy in to what you were trying to achieve. It remains to be seen who gets Westbrook cause I wouldn't give away a tuber of yam for Westbrook

Vogel was not faultless. The report is that Vogel's flaws showed up once this team came together. There were reports of him saying A and some people insisting on C.

An early example was, Vogel wanted to implement a policy of whoever rebounds the ball should bring the ball up the floor, but Russ insisted it was his job and would not budge no matter what and eventually had his way.

He could not handle the egos of the multiple galacticos. Cracks developed, feelings festered and he lost the authority and the dressing room not too long after.

AntiMen:
At first I liked him..
Until he started giving me unnecessary attention,that's when crushing began.

As I talk to you, I'm in church ,I try as much as possible to focus on my purpose for coming but my mind keeps wandering cos he's here....

I think the best bet is to tell him to avoid me, probably that will make me feel better....
Or I pray he gets transferred from here.

Lol @ pray he gets transferred. Can you pray about this crushing? If you can, then you can confess it as a sin to the Lord using Psalm 51 and nail the feelings on the cross and uproot the roots of such unholy emotions. Just focus earnestly on that emotion and you can disempower it till or kill it. Also, use the blood of Jesus as a universal solvent to melt away the stubborn emotion.

I could go on but there are 1001 things I can do to myself to make such feeling go away.

Hope this helps.

How do you dance to that song
We all know Ronaldo na stat padder, come and beat me if you disagree
Ali's career didnt end well. The mouth no work in the last part of his career

Lebron needs tough love right now, not excuses. Guy man was waxing poems about playing with his son while Lakers was burning.That is a lack of focus and situational awareness. This is not what we want from GOAT

Haaa bro, if the spirit is willing enough you can dance to any song.

You last paragraph, fully endorsed.

steady986:
Lol. In other words you're saying the blame should go to LeBron because he talked too much. Perhaps he would receive less blame if he didn't talk too much. LeBron is LeBron, what he said is irrelevant. Everything should be analysed from a basketball point of view. When you pay three people over 80% of the team's salary, you know the rest of the team would be trash. The only scenario where this team would have functioned properly is if the three of them were healthy and playing. As fas as I'm concerned LeBron has an excuse. And people should realise this isn't 2016. This is 2022. LeBron is 37 years old and in his 19th season. We've seen LeBron carry worse teams to the playoffs before. The receipts are there. Everybody knows it. But that was in his physical prime. He played 56 games this season, not because of choice but because of injuries here and there. I dare say that if AD was playing and the team was doing OK, LeBron would have sat out more games. I don't get how people cannot understand that the end is near for LeBron.

Don't be surprised that during the off season, people like Stephen A would tip LeBron as the player with the most to prove going into the new season. A 38 year old man in his 20th season would have the most to prove going into the season. I'll be here to remind you when that happens. Bros, the real analysts out there are blaming everything but LeBron. The only thing they blame LeBron for is putting the team together. It's the Jordan fanboys that are blaming LeBron because of their insecurity.

*PS, if you watched NBA countdown a couple of days back, the same Stephen A had an entirely different view about the Lakers' failure this season. That man just loves to have notorious takes on his own show.

I will say he deserves at least half of the tonnes of criticism so far. If what Magic Johnson said is true that Demar Derozan was about coming to Lakers until Lebron started talking with Russ, and I'm sure Lakers top echelon must have asked him to leak that to the press, then Lebron should take more responsibility for how everything panned out, in his utterances, in his comportment.

Lebron, AD, Pelinka and Buss should share the blame for how the season turned out. Period.

Does it detract from his greatness? No. It just shows he has weaknesses like all the rest.

Sad no one in that organization had the cojones to stop him from blocking his own success and the team's.

birdman:
The biggest blame goes to Lebron himself. See, when you talk too much, you better back it up. That is why even Steve Kerr was throwing shade openly. I have been following Lebron for a minute, and he tends to do badly when people are heaping praises on him. He needs this dose of humility, after all this foolish goat talk.

No GOAT refers to themselves as GOAT. It is a conferred title, it is not you that will use your hand and take it. I hope people keep throwing shade all off-season. It will get so hot all the sycophants will leave and we can get a grounded Lebron next year.

Like Muhammad Ali? Like Cristiano Ronaldo who keeps saying it and thrusting himself into the goat conversation?

I am sure many of you crucifying Lebron here for hyping himself are big fans of these two 'braggarts'.

Abegi, let me dance to R. Kelly's The World's Greatest.

DOS now working with soludo.. Lol.. The spirit of Biafra is with simon ekpa who knows KANU will b proud of him. A day sit at home won't kill anybody, someone is paying the price to freedom, Respect that!!!
Make FG give them Biafra abeg..

Mpama, for which freedom? Any freedom for Biafra acquired by MNK and his co-devils and co-killers will be like Taliban's freedom in Afghanistan or Boko Haram's freedom in the North or Hitler's freedom in the then Germany. It will be a nightmarish bondage. Except you are too brainwashed to know it.

Tueh! God forbid!

heniford2:
am healed already but i usually see her in my dreams will be 30yrs this sptmber yet seeing her in my dreams use to be the worst day of my life anytime.

That you are still still seeing her in your dreams can only mean one thing. That event still has a spiritual hold on you.

If I were you I would not rest till I cut off every chord tying her to me, till all my dreams are completely free of her sinister darkness.

heniford2:
Was just 9years old went to visit one of our family friends in Calabar then,the experience is crazy even as am now older i keep seeing it in my dreams, at first i never understand why she was kind to me and i really fate more comfortable around her than my own parents,

one day our school just closed and we went on break she demanded i come visit her at first my dad would not accept it but with me and my mom plead he has no choice than to accept. the say the "devil usually buys your heart before it start to hunt you" the first week was amazing went to parks,she bought Sage game very expensive then with nice cloths she stays alone comfortable for a single spinster and has this slow voice that looks innocent, but behind that voice is the monster you don't want to unleash,

one tuesday night she called me over her bed start touching my prick and removed her cloth i was scared have never seen a grown woman naked i closed my eyes, she said i should not worry i should open my eyes she said i should lay down, she tied my hands backward and
opening her legs wide and sat ass upon my face asking me to lick her virginia i could not breath, she held my dick hard and was demanding i lick faster i could not breath my dick was paining me i kept praying to God to save me please God!! because i could not talk i started crying when someone knocked at the door

Sad things are happening everywhere. The paedo first coldly groomed you and once she had you cornered and alone she went for the kill.

Don't know why but your story broke me.

I send healing thoughts to your heart.

DuvanZappatta:
Worst thing is that I can't talk to a therapist about that because I can't bring myself to mention.. it's easy on here because this is a faceless media. My elder sister is married with kids she grew up and act like that never happened when we were growing up yet I remain the damaged one till today. My cousin married too and I'm not good enough for my future wife. I know only God can help me out

Good you let it out here. Next is summon enough liver and see that therapist and open up. Your future and freedom deserve the investment of such courage.

hammer567:
WHAT IS THAT AT THE END OF YOUR RANTING?


ABOKI!

Ndi MNK gbuwara isi. Can't think for yourself to save your life. Channeling hate a mad man sucked into you. Making Igbos poorer. Enslaving your own people. Brothers killing brothers. Is that not aru?

May God judge all of you dancing this surugede in Igboland. And may His judgment be swift.

hammer567:
KUMUYI WAS PREACHING ONE NIGERIA TO IGBO CONGREGATION.


SIMON EKPA IS DEALING WITH PASTORS IN THE EAST.


UNDERSTAND SOMETHING ABOUT IPOB, IF YOU CROSS THEM, THEY WILL COME FOR YOU.


GO AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO SOLUDO.

You and all your people bringing Igboland on its knees will get your reward on this earth. Your judgment will be swift. Ndi uchu.

naptu2:
If gidgiddy had checked the link that I posted he would have seen the video in which Nnamdi Kanu said, "If your pastor is Yoruba you are worse than Boko Haram. You are an slowpoke. You are not fit to be a human being. If you are attending a Pentecostal church headed by a Yoruba, you are foolish. An slowpoke".

Why do you think he incited his followers to attack Kumuyi if he came to the East? Why do you think one of his followers (on Nnamdi Kanu's radio show) promised to kill Kumuyi?

Then he is asking me if William Kumuyi is a tribe.

Can you imagine?

Brotherly, they've been brainwashed with MNK's hate and bile. They can't think. Kanu and his disciples have destroyed our beloved Igboland. May they all get their just desserts Ndi ara!

gidgiddy:
Anyone comparing Adeyinka Grandson and Nnamdi Kanu must be a fool

Adeyinka Grandson was inciting racial hatred. An example is when he kept saying that Yorubas should kill Igbos and chase them out of Yoruba land

He even gave ultimatum that Igbos should leave the South west on a certain date or be killed

Nnamdi Kanu on the other hand never incited anyone against any tribe

Kanu never gave any tribe ultimatum to leave the east or be killed

He never asked Igbos to attack any tribe

Ewu Gambia, but he ordered hits against the police and the army and against 'saboteurs' among many others, okwa ya? Ndi ara!

MNK didn't only preach hate , he was hate personified and had brainwashed and hardwired his disciples with the same hate and now things are no longer at ease in Igboland.

May his day come quickly too. Ndi uchu!

Ojiofor:
Who is shouting one Nigeria?
My shouting is against home grown terrorist groups affiliated with Ipob to stop killing our people and disrupting their daily activities.
Dr Chike Akunyili was not killed in Kano he died in the street of Nkpo through a bullet fired by a local terrorist.
Just yesterday they killed a pharmacist in Onisha for daring to open his business on a monday but you won't be concerned about that.
I am against all form of violence.Ndi Igbo deserve to feel safe and secured in Igboland.
The Northerners who pampered their home grown terrorist in the begining are today living at their mercy.
That is exactly what IPOB is turning out to be,a thorn in the flesh of umu Igbo.

Our people are so consumed by myopia that they cannot see your point of view. In the guise of freedom fighters, IPOB, as a group, was sent by the devil to emasculate and chain the Igbo nation to a scary kind of bondage. A homegrown bondage. Just like Boko haram, they will not stop till they hold the Igbo nation by the balls and castrate its very existence.

Ndi uchu ekwensu dara nma oku n'obi.
