see these shameless people cumming over Pep's loss when their club is heading to Europa , Nike do and start sewing those jerseys abeg....Thursday football awaits y'all losers

They can troll. My issue is all those Carlo this...Mou that. 500m this. Because they would never be wrong.

If he wins, he spent. If he loses, he spent. Like, pick a side.

He wins waay more than he loses but any isolated loss is enough to overturn all his wins.

I said it before: once a man becomes the fastest ever, his critics will say “but he does not know how to fly”.

Now he is no more a fraud for not winning even a spoon in EPL. He is now a fraud if he does not win the UCL. LMAO.

The hate is damn too much. They say people always hate on greatness. I guess this proves that saying right.

Lately, I feel the hate is eating at my confidence/
They scream out my failures and whisper my accomplishments/

4-1. That is all that matters.

Some ediots in the capital would have celebrated even if they lost as long as their fanook scored.

Only team to celebrate pichichi in a season they won fvckall!

Damned if he does. Damned if he doesn't.

Only one around the world. Pep!

I am not blaming him. He played well and they did not. I am saying he can show better leadership.

Melo and to most degrees PG cannot become so bad after 1 season. Oladipo can not become so good after 1 season. It is leadership. Not that Russell cannot play, he needs to be more of a leader.

You can tell that triple double is on his mind again. If he averages 12 rebounds per game till season ends he will average a triple double they said. Then he gets 16 rebounds against GSW. Most were legit but I can tell you, one or 2 or 3 of those were arrangee.

That is what I mean, he needs to fashi those stats and find how to make his team Win.

aliondo:
If we are going to go out in the first round,then its better we dont make the playoffs


Nobody comes for MELO and P.G,its always Russ being attacked for the team loss..

I know those guys played badly and Russell, played well but I think it is the underlying tactic Kerr uses for OKC: to force him to go berserk as long as he is the only one.

If you watched, Draymond was pestering Camelo all game. All his shots were contested. Same for PG and the wing shooters. It was to close the space for Russell to either shoot or drive to the rim. That is why he had lower assists than he usually would but ultra high rebs and points.

You would never hear or read me say RW is not a top player. But I would maintain that his hero ball won't win OKC games when it is key. OKC need Adams, PG and to some degree Melo to win games and it is RWs duty to bring out the best in them.

Obviously he could do that and still lose. But I wager they would win more games down the stretch than they have lost.

Also, people might say if PG and Melo hit their shots, OKC wins but that may not be true. They got almost 2 times the free throws GSW did and dominated the boards. KD did not even shoot that well. But GSW moved the ball really well and gave everyone touches. But Melo did not have any time to get into rhythm. So he clanged and boarded shot after shot.

I have a feeling you are not praising him.

Why are people hailing CR7, Zidane is the genius?

Roland17:
Let me state this first. Was that a foul? Absolutely...

Baba, I agree with some of your sentiments, however, it almost seems the Warriors organization and fans are choosing not hold Durant responsible in any of these or are too carried away to call this behavior completely.

Honestly, I would be highly disappointed if the events of the 2016 loss to Cavs repeats itself through Durant. This lack of awareness, accountability is the core reason why the Clippers lob city assemble failed in my opinion.

Baba, I watched the entirety of this game and Durant had no business, absolutely no business remaining in the face of the referee screaming vulgar words at him. Watch the attached video and listen closely and you would hear the first time the whistle was blown for the first tech but Durant continued and that was when you can hear multiple whistling from the ref for the ejection.

You are right and truth be told, I was livid with him (KD). But I saw him walking away after the first T. Even if he said anything else how does it detract from or add to the first T? I think the ref let his own emotions get in the way. Which was annoying because they were wrong on the missed call and the 2 or so others prior.

Roland17:
Crew chief Bill Kennedy issued a statement at the request of a pool reporter:

"Mr. Durant was ejected due to the fact of two technical fouls. The first technical foul was issued for vulgarity. After the first technical foul was issued, the official tried to walk away, started to walk away, and the vulgarity escalated, and then he was assessed a second technical foul for the escalation of the vulgarity, resulting in an ejection."

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22961833/golden-state-warriors-forward-kevin-durant-ejected-first-game-back

I know the NBA don't want to give refunds to the thousands of GSW fans that were mortified to see KD leave but they should spare us off this false narrative.

If you watched the video, KD walked away after hurling vulgarities at the ref. So at what point did he charge at him again for the second T?

Also, the people pushing this fib don't seem to realize this was a nationally televised game in which few possessions before that issue, KD was fouled twice to no avail. Then Green was charged for barely touching the bucks player (replays show he did not). So imagine KD going again to the rim only to get hammered and the refs miss it. That is why he lost his cool.

I am not justifying his tantrums but I would not let this spin tale by the NBA go unchecked either.

SmooshCHN:
Patrick McCaw is gone. The kid isn't even moving. Seems like a fractured spine to me.




Vince Carter is a class act..


Eruditor, Cuteredd we need Jesus Bruh..

Brotherhood is bigger than basketball. I'm almost crying Bruh

It looked bad.

Really.

I don’t even know how to feel.

I pray it is not that serious and he comes back strong. See the pain Kerr coached in with his back pain. Then talk less of a spine.

I pray these challenges will bring out a sweet Playoffs for us. We need it.

Roland17:
Sorry bro, I don't place bets. KDB has the title-winning argument which is logical, however, I think Salah may nick it from his grasp if the goal scoring continues.

He won’t. Sod09 is right. They voted in January or so.

I believe Rio Ferdinand was once asked why he voted Suarez and not RVP when the latter was playing for United and Rio said he voted months earlier.

phaamsaam:
Thiago decided his future was away, Isco is already on the other side.. Look ahead

He scored a hat trick then all of a sudden he has become a player RM don't even believe he is. I blame Sampaoli for this.

I hate recency bias when it comes to dealing with players.

Isomerizm:
The 'unwilling' there is chagrining TBH. I pointed it out earlier this week, someone however said, it would cripple our wage structure.

Even, be that as it may, they should reason with him politely, with MOU that his wage would rise into his dreams, and not form stronghead. It's the 'unwilling' I absolutely gat bad blood for.

If it so happens the club loses Umtiti in the summer, but retains faeces like Gomez, Paulinho, Vidal, then...

Same way Messi was on the verge of signing for Manchester City

Even Sergio Busquets at some point.

You guys should calm down. He is not even up for a contract discussion. He was only recently signed. The board want to give him a new contract to keep him and his team are using it to get him a very good contract. The tactic is not new. Almost every agent does it.

SmooshCHN:
It's the same Ref that ejected Shaun Livingston after getting in his face.. I bet if it was Harden, he'll get the call but the 2nd best player in the league doesn't have an upper body strength and not as intelligent. That explains it all. Anyways, we better stop f*cking around and carry this momentum into playoffs. Teams with worse roster are playing like they have something to prove.

We were turning the ball over too much though.

But then KD lost all his spacing, GSW lost 3pt shooting and the finals MVP ain’t got core and leg strength ever since he joined GSW.

Russell Westbrook be like “Clutch genes? Are you referring to my denims?”

LOL

Don’t be deceived by the numbers. Pat McCaw is getting foul calls because the Ws are down by 20.

Final score will have equal FTs but that is not the way the game went.

SmooshCHN:
KD ejected for complaining about an obvious foul. Lmao.. These refs

I did not want to talk before they say we complain too much.

In my life, never seen KD fouled this much in one game without commensurate FTs and the fact that the ejection came without 2 Techs is laughable.

Anyways, we saw it all season.

SmooshCHN:
We're gonna be good on the second seed. I just hope Curry comes back in his usual form. We obviously would have more than enough to win the championship if he returns and everyone's healthy..

First thing Curry says to his trainer yesterday "my leg feels great". The Physio thinks he can prove Kerr wrong and even come back for the first round of the playoffs.

And some false prophets are preaching on podiums about our death.

Jesus is Alive people!

DevdanSanguine:
Weak side blocks. Besides, it's jelly blocking peanut butter. It's all good.

Keyword: block.

SmooshCHN:
Looney, Quinn Cook, McCaw and Iggy are giving me life here.

Not watching the game. We have no scorers. McCaw regressed badly this year and Cook is hesistant when he is not inconsistent. Shaun L who should have been at least doing more I don't even know.

I really wanted 60+ but at this rate we might not get it. Rubbish regular season all around especially with the home Ls. That is what angers me the most.

We need KD back to give us one more win to seal 2nd spot.

DevdanSanguine:
Friggin Cavs players always snort some coke off a bunch of hookers before playing in Miami.

Dwayne Wade blocking some Kings like they are Twitter trolls.

birdman:
so you would rather he re-injure just to get a shot at the ring. anyhow, i tend to like players more than I like teams. However much I may yab Curry, I don't want to see another Derrick Rose type of situation. I still feel like Curry is owed a significant payday - at least stay healthy until you collect.

He is not reinjuring anything. Every player can get injured at anytime. See Aldridge today.

Let he who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

SmooshCHN:
Donlittle, eat the life of your head Bruh. One thing must kill a man. Spending that cheque like improper fraction na him sweet pass. Aye ni Miami.

You are outchea encouraging hitched women to go to strip clubs with other men.

Decale:
Eruditor, take ya time ooo.

It was Ersan or that other guy that had Greek alphabets that said it.

I don’t know why I always forget this.

SmooshCHN:
The only person i'm worried about is Steph's injury. I hope it's a grade one cause it didn't look as bad as when he slipped vs Houston. They reported it as grade 2 but trust me, that one didn't look like a grade 2 i wish i could see the xRAYs .. Other guys should be fine and as Kerr addressed everyone, there's no excuse from the squad. As for Houston, i'm sure Harden is looking past just MVP and he's looking to prove everyone including Kevin McHale wrong. Let's not decieve ourselves here, this playoffs is gonna be tough and i hope we're healthy if we meet OKC in the second round. The whole drama is suited for them to get their revenge.. I've been praying for the Nuggets to get in the mix but they've just been sleeping.

It definitely did not look like grade 2 but I think they had to claim it was grade 2 to force more rest out of him for long term purposes and to re-awaken the rest of the team that may have been depressed following his injury.

As for Harden and OKC, take it from me. I won't lose sleep over them. I fear Portland with Nurkic more because he is way better than our centers both in the post and in being less clumsy.

Rockets have a tie breaker sure. But the 3 ties do not tell the full story just looking at it as a 2-1 record in their favour. We are pounding them game 1 at the oracle, 14 points ahead by quarter 3 and then Draymond gets injured and we lose by 1. Next time we play on their ground, KD and Harden are out, we win by 10. 3rd and final game (at their ground again) was the game they are playing us off the park and up by 17. 4th quarter comes and we are 3 points ahead.

Curry makes 2 "somehow" decisions in passing to Klay at the 3 rather than KD for the easy deuce and Rockets make us pay for it. They see out that game through FTs and win by 7 or 8. So the tie-breakers are not enough to judge us against them. They are one injury away from not even making the 2nd round. If CP3 is out and they play Utah Jazz in the first round, they could lose.

As for OKC, their length and Adams can worry us but they are a streaky team. Apart from game 1 where the reffing was just ediotic, game 2 they are hitting everything and deserve their win fully. That is my point. They will have 1 or 2 very good games in a 6 game series and can win us. But I cannot give them 4 of those games out of 7. They are not that consistent.

I fear Portland because I have seen them keep up with good western teams even when CJ and Dame have bad games.

You predicted Lebron will be MVP come June.

You predicted Cavs will win 60 games "countem".

We marked your words on the matter. You scored a big fat F.

Next.

DevdanSanguine:
Some may say that I am celebrating too early but these people do not know that in addition to "the Greek god", "The adonis" and "the egghead", I am also known by my mates as "The Scion of Nostradamus". I can see the writing on the wall and I know it's all over for these bums.

I am so happy I think I might even smile. Oooh what a beautiful day. I thought it would never come and I have to say writing this eulogy was one of the most difficult things I've had to do in recent days. After all how do I find the right words fitting of such a triumph? After all these gits have given me a dozen sleepless nights and the only thing that kept me going was dreams about this moment. Knowing that my enemies will be utterly vanquished. Seeing them burn in a ruthless inferno! Everything they've built crumbling into ashes! Ooh what a feeling indeed!

Too bad the warriors never became a dynasty. Too bad they never made it to 4 straight finals and too bad Curry will finish his career with 2 championships and no finals MVP. Too bad the serpent will finish his career with one tainted ring and thats all he ruined his legacy for.

And what about the cocky warriors fan base? Oooh if only I could see these people in person to see them shriek and shudder. What better satisfaction than seeing them eat their words? I reckon the lot of them are crying and looking for which bandwagon to jump on next, the soft ninnies.

And as I sit here in anticipation of the king basically dancing to his fourth ring I know that these are moments one must savour in life and that there is no better moment to open up a bottle of sparkling black currant juice than now.

It's over for you bums, I win, like I always do.

CuteRedd:
I HAVE MISSED YALL. THANKS FOR ALL THE SHOUTOUT, TRYING TO CHECK ON ME AND HOLDING DOWN THE FORT #MIZZZBEEE

Me and SmooshCHN held it I am sure you were viewing in the shadows.

The weeks have been rough but I am certain it will work out well.

I see visions of Steph yelling “I am back!” in the WCFs when he joins to help us put those pretenders in their place.

Some of our enemies here know their man stands no chance should we come out of the west. They would rather play Harden who only wants to win MVP and go home.

birdman:
wao. just googled it. I saw the news flash earlier and I thought it was the old injury. Man, that is rough. McGee cant be feeling too good right now. If its 4 weeks, he could be back by the time they really need him, deep in the playoffs. Or maybe shut it down for the year rather than risk re-injury, just like Kawhi

I am a man of the spirit and this your wish is not from God.

I thereby reject it fully. Amen.

MitrikDenholm:
Fultz was a deserved first pick (unless he's damaged), saric is only 23 and is already looking promising + a pick. Worse trades have been made. Not too different from the trade that got PG to OKC.

When it comes to an organisation Vs a player I am inclined to side with the player, especially after what you lot did to IT and what the clippers did to Griffin. Granted the spurs are a more reputable organisation but I reckon he should take any precaution possible. If he's not feeling well enough and his personal doctors haven't cleared him to play then he shouldn't.

If he's trying to force a move to a bigger market then that's a different issue but barring pressure Kawhi doesn't strike me as that sort of player and unless it can indubitably (lol) be proven that that's the case I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, why not just ask for a trade like Aldridge did or make his intentions clear. There are better ways of going about things than wasting a whole season of your prime.

That being said I also hope he remains with the spurs. This league needs the spurs in all their "fundamental" glory.

Kawhi knows what CP3 did in not signing with SAS. Pop is going to retire soon and Kawhi does not want to be hedged to the franchise for that long without Pop. I think it is also playing into his psyche.

Tony Parker had to call him out by saying that Tony’s own injury was way worse than Kawhi’s yet he recovered. It is all mental now as the player is unhappy. Even if Pop was to play the same trick on him, it is still there somewhere that the man will leave and kawhi might be left with a greenhorn coach.

It is all speculation as it were but stranger things have happened.

But Pogba played yesterday.
