Muna15:

What area of science is that . I think you need to stop whining about your team's failure to win the title last year and just pray KD returns on time.

Baines didn't make the turnaround shot that you wanted. LeBron, Jeff, Love and others didn't make all their shots either. That's basketball for you.

I am not whinning. But Lebron has 2 more rings? Not even if he was proposed to 2 times.

Lebron will most likely win two more rings. I don't see him losing this year even if Durant comes back as he can't be 100%. Curry, Thompson at 80%+ would be better for any Durant's sloppiness against Cavs but for some reason those splash brothers are struggling with their shots.

How you people come up with these things cracks the hell out of me. KD was MVP in 2014. 2015 he got injured against GSW in a game he scored 30 points by half time and that was the end of his story. The only thing KD needed to do to get out of the conversation was to get injured.

Again he is out of the conversation because he is injured even to the point that a younger Lebron (with a star-studded team) went 2-2 with respect to finals will all of a sudden become 2-0 on his last legs because KD will not be 100%. grin

I hate to take anything away from Lebron but no matter how he or Kyrie played last season, Harrison Barnes makes 2 more shots either in game 5, 6 or 7 and Lebron is stuck on 2. Science again.

bball is 90% mental. those parking lot 3s he made cannot be practiced for, it was a mental space he was in...nothing you could do to stop that 3. I think he allowed the attention to get to him, which has thrown off his mental game some. If he ever regains that form, I will give mad respect..that 'microwave' switch is hard to turn back on once it turns off. If Im Curry, I'm getting off social media, and banning Ayeesha from social media too . You think adults are wise enough to keep some crap out of the home

Now anybody that sees the word "mental" will think you are saying he lacks mental strength. Oh, wait....

Triple double this triple double that. If he shared responsibilities more his team would have won more games. This is science.

I never faulted his effort and drive - indeed, he is balling out of control. But the narrative that his team would drop to a lottery level without him goes the same way for even Lebron at Cavs or Harden at Houston.

Harden's teammates are expressing themselves better because he is bringing them in. One thing Russell seems to have learnt in his last few games is the need to spread the shots and points. That's the only reason they have been winning games. Last game against Raptors he had 24pts, 10 rebounds and 19 assists and Oladipo had 23pts, someone else 10 etc. by spreading it they won the game. If he had had 58points I bet you, Raptors would have won.

Harden was 8th last term and WBs OKC were 3rd. WB lost KD and Harden lost Dwight. WBs team sits 6th but Harden's team moved up to 3rd. If Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon played with WB, they wouldn't have received as many passes as Harden has been delivering. Then WB would have been battling Nené and Capela for rebounds. There is no way on earth you can convince me that WB in Houston would have had them sitting any higher than 3rd and that's what Harden has done.

It was conducted by their family doctor the same person who can print out anything just to save Davido's neck. They should go to a neutral party; Get it done. If he is not the father then he can move on with his life. Why block her and refuse to go to someone neutral?

Out of 17 tests, there were 8 mismatches...what's left to retest?

All were conducted by the same family doctor. They should go to someone independent. Their voice grew prominently because Davido has easily accepted the 2 others that came after her. He is even legally obligated to undergo a paternity test.

Not true. Davido never denied Sophie, her pregnancy or imade.

He threw a baby shower party for her when she was pregnant. Remember ?

http://www.36ng.com.ng/2015/05/19/davido-at-his-baby-mamas-baby-shower-photo-of-his-baby-mama-photos/

He also sponsored her trip to the US to birth imade.

Maybe you need to read the exchanges him and Dele Momodu had. All that baby shower and the US trip were after the fact. According to Dele, Davido was ignoring her till she called him. Then he took the matter to Davido's dad and that's when Davido accepted responsibility.

Celebrities › Re: Davido Has A 4 Year Old Daughter - Lady Claims (Photos) by Eruditor: 5:44pm On Mar 17, 2017

Ralphlauren:
Are you all blind?

The DNA report excludes Davido has the father.

Meaning he is not the biological father of the child. I guess this is why he hasn't accepted responsibility for the baby.

Physical resemblance cannot be used to confirm paternity of a child.

DNA test is the only fool proof method.

I don't think you understood the story. The girl is alluding to the fact that the doctor whose lab conducted the first DNA test must be compromised seeing that he is a family friend of the Adelekes. To prove her point, Davido's refusal to submit material for DNA testing coupled with the fact that Imade looks very much like the girl lends credence to the accuser's story.

Besides, Davido almost denied paternity to Imade but was forced to accept it because Dele Momodu got involved. He also willingly accepted the other girl in the US because, well, she is in the US.

Davido should submit material so it can be tested to ascertain his paternity or not.

Yahoo1, I wanted to say the same thing but people will accuse me of disloyalty.

I don't share the enthusiasm but I am still optimistic. Juventus do not concede goals at all and we have struggled against such teams especially when such teams are better than us at set pieces. I hope MSN deliver us somehow.

As per the other fixtures, yes I am happy RM finally got some worthy opposition for the first time in years but I hope Bayern won't underestimate them. For all the chances that RMA seem to concede in recent times, they do not concede too many goals. Add to that, the fact that they seem to play with brawn and determination than skill and that game could be a potential banana skin for them (Bayern).

I am convinced however that RM will not defend the UCL so I don't mind us meeting them in the semi's or finals (if they get there) as the jinx will definitely work against them.

I won't be surprised if Monaco and Leicester win their respective games. ATM have not played well against teams that do not have the ball and Dortmund are pisspoor away from home. If they let Monaco create too many chances there will be no need for a second leg.

Personally, I would have wanted Dortmund for Barca but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

PS: Sampaoli is still a great coach. Nzonzi should not have missed the penalty.

Wearing the uniform makes them grasp at an entitled victory and I urge him to maintain his clout and rebuff those lunatics.

He is not a career custom's man and is not mandated to wear the uniform anymore than EFCC chairmen are mandated to wear police uniforms.

What Nigerians should be concerned about is if he is carrying out his duty as the custom's head regardless of if he is wearing a uniform.

I can't believe some dunces on NL are taking the side of those unpatriotic oafs in the NASS.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Just Cityzens - Manchester City Thread by Eruditor: 2:21pm On Mar 17, 2017

Sadly, City did not lose because of Joe Hart. They lost because they lack experience WRT to the UCL and played it like an EPL or FA Cup game where you could miss a ton of chances and still pull a win. Aguero had 2 bury-able chances and Sterling was indecisive all game even when clean on goal.

Imagine if Barca missed any chance against PSG if they would have gone through.

Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:00pm On Mar 17, 2017

Kawhi is not getting that much attention because NBA fans change opinions after every game. Russell is having a phenomenonal individual season but his team is 6th. How can he be the most valuable when 5 other teams are better than his? That's just like saying the MVP of the finals came from a team whose player didn't even get to the finals.

We don't need to get emotional about things. What's the fuss about a triple double; a ton of those rebounds are forced. Dude is still wrestling his centers for routine rebounds from missed FTs like man - give it a rest, you are great. I only respect the APGs and PPGs because no matter what, those are hard to force.

I still think the race is 3-way with LBJ having an outside chance but if Russell can somehow get his team to 4th- then he should share it with Harden or at worst win it.

Klay Thompson had caught fire o. It's just 1st Quarter with 5 threes..

Curry had an injury scare. My heart jumped for like 5mins.. Scared the hell out of me..

I was like which kain juju be this? But he came out healthier. He is trying to facilitate because Klay was on fire but he might need to start shooting because our FTs have been bad. We have missed 5 of 8 now.

Watching it. Klay is streaky. As soon as Orlando called a time out his shots stopped falling. He has bailed us out recently but we have got to do better in FTs and defensive rebounds. We slept in the last 3 mins.

LOLAAAA.

Lmaoo sounds like rubbish a Drake would say. Am I right? Am I right?

No Drake slander will be tolerated cheesy

Nicki Minaj said that line actually and it is not in the context the person who mentioned you is trying to make it seem.

Nicki Minaj is referencing her album success and platinum singles sold as the reason she should be the rap queen as against Rémy Ma's viewpoint that bars and skillset should be the criteria. To justify this, Nicki argues that when Lebtards try to claim he is the GOAT what his naysayers point to is his 3 rings compared to Jordan's 6. In deed, people don't let the argument that since Lebron plays more positions than Jordan he should be greater.

DarkRebel101:
Wide off the mark! I am more a Slim Shady stan than a Jay-Z fanboy. The only rapper I am certain towers Em lyrically is the man from Queens, Canibus.

What excuses? Eminem was excellent on the Renegade track, his internal rhymes flipped the lid of credulity over, his flow was fluidly ethereal, but in all these was he equally matched. Jay-Z's lyrics simply had a deeper poetic dimension which Em's verse was deficient in. Em said it as it was, but Jay hid behind the esoteric curtains of metaphorical language.
I also do not think Em's verse on Renegade was his best ever.

Eminem did not murder Jay-Z; they were evenly matched. Nas' submissions have merely helped in fostering that wrong-headed idea. Because Hov wasn't screaming at the top of his lungs did not make his verse any less potent. Even if we place two world-class guitarists in a room and ask them both to play, one would give off the seeming of outclassing the other even when it isn't the case; even when it's only that our "prior-to-the-moment" preference for either of the guitarists have merely interfered and re-routed the trajectory of our judgement.

If you seek to know the true definition of "getting murdered on a track", then No Love by Lil Wayne ft. Eminem fits the bill.

I read this and even the article you cited but I just found it interesting that Eminem already addressed this in his second verse of that very track.

Even though I agree that Jay held his own in that track and wasn't garbage the way Nas' narrative depicted it.

The 2nd verse:

See, I'm a poet to some, a regular modern-day Shakespeare/
Jesus Christ, the King of these Latter-Day Saints here/
To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me as/
A monger of hate, satanist, scatter-brained atheist/
But that ain't the case, see, it's a matter of taste/
We as a people decide if Shady's as bad as they say he is/
Or is he the latter, a gateway to escape?/
Media scapegoat, who they can be mad at today/

He is pained we are 1st just a season after his sack, after claiming he brought us to this level and we are doing well.

Yes. He is our best coach because we provided him the players he needed to be the best coach.

And if he doesn't stop attacking the team, we don't care if we lose at Old trash-ford, we are coming there to call him Judas again.

He is a Judas for now, he should bear the name with pride.

This is so apt. Mou would not have cared as much had Conté signed a bunch of new players enroute to sitting atop the league. That way, he would be justified -The players were not good and he overperformed with them the previous year. But seeing this newbie not just top the league but do it with the same alleged washed-up players gotta hurt bad.

Even when you try to pay complement It doesn't look sincere. Alright mehn

Ok they won through beautifully crafted offense; moving the ball really well, not shoving Curry and Klay all game, shooting incredibly from deep and having a ton of assists with zero to negligible Iso. Not forcing offensive rebounds and getting 2nd choice put backs, not fouling Ezeli and Bogut and forcing them to go to the FT line, not drawing fouls and going to the FT line themselves and so. grin

Calm down. We just needed a confidence boosted. 4th quarter showed we could do it if we're dedicated to. Thanks to Green and Curry narrow focus on not giving up.

Happy Birthday to the Chef Curry tho

Chef always scores 25pt+ on his birthdays. Thank God it did not change. I don't know why Kerr took Klay off in the first quarter when dude caught fire and could not miss. For a second there it upset his rhythm.

Still don't know what is happening to Curry's shooting. He missed open looks in the first quarter. Which is puzzling because in the pre-game warm up, one video reel had him make 70+ threes out of 80 that he took.

Back? Big NO for me. Would have lost against a better team shooting poorly like that. They played some defense in the 4th tho.

Actually GSW shot badly which kept the game close. At some point we shot 33% to Sixers 47%. What kept GSW in the game prior to the 4th, was 3 point shooting which became better due to Klay primarily.

I didn't think warriors will find winning games hard like after losing Durant.

All of us knew it would get harder but admittedly, not for this long. Coupled with the fact that Klay and Curry just couldn't make a bucket from 3 which is a strong part of our offense and defence (because it forces teams to mark us on the perimeter thereby creating easy alleys for other players to get to the opposition's rim).

Happy with a close game. That is the kind of game GSW would have lost going by this season's antecedents but they seem to be righting the ship.

Don't play with the Warriors.. 16pt deficit on a 33% FG..

GSW were actually playing well. What was worrying me again was the open looks that we could not capitalize on. Several easy dunks and layups just rolled off the rim. Also on the defensive end we had no answer for Saric or Jahil except when Draymond chimed in. But we are getting our groove back and finding our ID without KD. It did take some time but I believe we are getting there based on our 2nd half performances in the last 2 games.

no it isn't,any cavs person fully admits to the fact that they're in the weaker conference,hence easy wins.
since we're talking about the rockets guess who was present last time the cavs won ?
primarily am concerned with offense when it comes to the bench but if bogut didn't go down you would've since something Sanders i don't know much about.
also this bench slowly came together as the season progressed they would be ready playoff.
basketball isn't one sided who ever makes it out of the west will have to guard the cavs too,they're champions for a reason.

You are reading me one-sided. I know their bench is better than most. I know they have formidable scorers in Bron and Kyrie. I just said if they continue to play that 3-point shooting with a ton of ISOs they will beat most eastern teams but will struggle against western teams that play that brand of basketball better than them. Not saying they stand no chance of winning a ring at all - in fact I said they could, if they stuck to their grind and grunge way of playing like they did against GSW especially games 5 and 7.

Let me just ask.
Don't you think as you guys are now missing the 27 points KD averages the cavs have Also been missing the 20 point and whatever love averages on rebounds ?
The bench is better and that one game against Houston isn't enough to write them off.
The only team that should scare Any Cavs fan in the west is the warriors with KD Any other team,cavs should be happy to take including the warriors without Durant.

Gee, the problem is Cavs did win a ton of games after Love's injury so bringing it up again is a hard sell. It is not offensively that they are not clicking - it is on the defensive end where opposition PGs waltz right through to make buckets. Houston game was 1 of 4 losses in that stretch of 5 games but was significant because it exposed the kind of offense Cavs will play against comparative big teams.

I agreed the bench is better; but that's on Paper. I am yet to see how this bench will prevent opposition benches from scoring not necessarily about if they themselves will score any. A Cavs team with LeBron always has something to be optimistic about but not when they are going to be chasing the ball against ball-moving and good 3-pt shooting teams like Spurs, GSW and Houston who play better defense than the Cavs.
