Their coach just finds it hard to make adjustments in time. The pick n roll as well as the back door slip action with Green and Iggy. Draymond was a force tonight.
He played with 4 fouls all through the 4th.

A leader.

Look like curry giving his brother ball
He gets cute when his brother is guarding him which I hate.

He has shot the 3ball poorly since the 4th but that is partly due to good Blazers D.

Blazers role players have hit good 3s this Q. But we got this.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:16am On May 17, 2019
Down 8. 2 TOs but a phantom foul on Dame to give him the 3pt play.

Good time out because we have lost our way in this slightly.

3rd Q intensity let us wrap this up. I believe.

Klay is mad
He rushes sometimes unnecessarily. I don't like the way the offense stagnates when Iggy and Dray or Steph are out. But I know Kerr wanted to use the lineup that gave us the lead in 6 mins to go.

Down 3. 97-94

We are winning this.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:10am On May 17, 2019
Kerr and his second unit.

Klay should have passed to Jerebko instead of forcing that shot.

We should go back to trapping. Good thing is Curry is resting.

Dame that's building house with bricks, they're giving him fouls to pad points.
It is to keep the game close. If we can play the same type of game we did in the 3rd, we win this easily. They are tired. being rescued by Fts

Why curry looking for foul like Harden huh
The Blazers are closing the space he shoots from and if he does not sell it they won't back off. Notice they will try to give him separation just so they won't get called. On the other hand, the same D we played that got us back into the game is the same one they started calling for Dame to prevent a lead that would have been 9pts in GSWs favour.

This refs dey mad o. How would u expect me to guard someone running into me
They did not want GSW to take a lead before the 4th Q. Na for ratings. All the calls on Dame were rubbish especially that offensive fouled they first called on Curry when he was clearly fouled during that lay up.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:50am On May 17, 2019
Draymond with 4 fouls is the only issue I have. He is such a leader that one. But he played hot potato with the ball in the 2nd to the last possession and caused a TO.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:40am On May 17, 2019
We are the warriors!

lead down to 3.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:37am On May 17, 2019
Good trap on Dame. Lead down to 11. Klay's shots should start falling soon.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:26am On May 17, 2019
Kerr has to stagger that second unit. They played 5mins and made only 7 points. That is not good enough. Klay is rushing some of his easy shots and bricking hard. We are 3/13 from 3 and they are 11/22. We need Jerebko to take some of Iggy's mins because they have left Iggy to shoot 3s and he has missed all.

Good thing is, their shooting will drop in the second half so we should see this one out still.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:11am On May 17, 2019
Only issue I have is Steph is slightly behind the game. Always getting his pocket picked by his brother.

Klay is off but he is not being reffed well. Other than that, they have 5 more 3s than us.

Cornered ? When a powerful official in transfer matters in Chelsea, told me something factual, no, I should rely on eruditor's figment of imagination.
Powerful official told you what? That Emenalo (Conte's friend and defendant) went to sign a player Conte did not want?

1. Apologies if you never said it, I didn't join the argument from beginning, I just thought you're implying such.

2. It got to count for something. Walker had to be good for him to be the undisputed first choice. In the EPL as at that time, the only right back I'd put in the same bracket with him is Azplicueta, who may or may not be better than him then, that's another discussion entirely.
I said Walker was better but not 90-10 better, 55-45. I said Trippier is even more of a Pep-type player than Walker. I said it was easier to price Walker out of Tottenham as he was unhappy and also good for his position but the narrative that he was the best RB in the league is only skewed to make it look like Pep tries to acquire the best of everything which is a lie. Azpi was great in his day for sure, but that was prior to 16/17.

Walker is good just like David Luiz was good in 16/17. But was David Luiz the best CB in the league since he started for CFC and Brazil? No.

You typed a lot of rubbish. Prove that Conte's second choice for 2017/2018 and stop making stupid assumptions. Show me where Conte or any Chelsea official confined that Morata was his choice after we missed out on Lukaku?

Don't bother to reply or quote me if you can't prove it that Conte asked Chelsea to sign Morata for 2017/2018 season pas requested.
You are cornered so I see you are looking for wriggle room. Trying to pin a signing on Emenalo who was Conte's friend in CFC and tried as much as possible to do his bidding. Look for one of the Chelsea dumbos on here to feed your lies to.

I should prove that a player that Conte contacted himself was not his choice? grin

Who told you Morata was clearly his second choice? He was his second choice yet Emenalo claimed
Conte was disappointed and hoped he later became happy cos Morata was impressing by October? Emenalo wouldn't be saying such if Conte actually was the one that asked for that spineless striker. It's common sense.
Your questions are stupid. Conte tried to buy the player 3 different times (Juve and CFC). Conte spoke to the player. I agreed that 2017/18 Conte then wanted Lukaku following how he played for Everton FC in 16/17 but Everton wanted to cash out when United showed interest after they failed to get the same Morata. CFC refused to pay 100M for Lukaku so they went with Conte's second choice - the same player he had chased 2 previous times. Emenalo only told us what we already knew, that in 17/18 Conte's first choice was Lukaku and he was unhappy to lose the player to United.

This will not be the first time Conte will have issues with United and Mou. Abeg try another daft senseless lie.

Okay. Just face front. Na me find trouble go dey follow you yarn no vex.
Prove that he was as good as he is today. Start from bringing posts or quotes from the player himself contradicting you.

I know words are lost on you. Subjective is a key word and other pundits agree with me. Just google best RBs in the EPL in 15/16 or 16/17 to see what shows up. LOL

Walker was dropped for two matches and he went to meet Pochettino to tell him his heart was not there. In between the two matches, he started the Swansea match which they also won. Pochettino giving Trippier more chances doesn't mean he was better than Walker. Walker was both first choice for England and his club, he was that good.

Pochettino's issue with Walker started right from pre-season when Walker arrived late. That's where his problem with Poch started.
1. Show me where I said Trippier was better.
2. Being number one for club and country means you are that good?

I agree with every other thing BTW and another thing Poch added was that Walker was not training well and was not doing well in the big games.

how good was walker then?

Which rb was better than him in the league?
How good was Walker? Not as good as he is today under Pep Guardiola.

Who was better than him? That will be subjective. Just like if I said VVD or Kompany was better than Cahill and Luiz in 16/17 yet both players made the team of the year and he did not.

Personally, Hector Bellerin, Antonio Valencia were better than him.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will go back in for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata for a third time this summer, with the Spaniard set to be on the move again.
Chelsea were never linked to the player until Conte got there. Then sold the player after Conte left. But it was Emenalo that bought him. I hear you.

Another dumb lie. You did not see Conte telling CFC to sign Morata? You did not read Morata saying he spoke to Conte? Conte did not bring the same player to Juve?

What is the correlation between Lukaku who I already agreed was Conte's first choice in 2017/18 and Morata who he wanted in 16/17 and was clearly his second choice in 17/18?

I've known Eruditor as a staunch Pep loyalist which I have no problem with, but twisting the truth to win this particular debate is just laughable. Anyone that knows his onions in football, will never be biased regarding this issue.

Walker lost his place to Trippier based on his in-house behavior. It was never because he lost form or Trippier had at any point in time, been better than him. That's a fat lie. Walker is better all-round defender than Trippier. Trippier is a defensive liability but attacks well. A full-back that attacks but can't defend well, is a no-no for me. That's why TAA and Robertson are good examples of a balanced full-back including Walker of past seasons.

Pochettino gave the real reason he dropped Walker. You can read it from the horse's mouth, not hearsays, below.

Hmm. I don't want to say you don't know how to read. First, provide the post where I said Trippier was better than Walker.

Even in your link, Poch had stopped starting Walker before Walker walked up to him to tell him his heart was no longer in Tottenham. This is from your link. The reason Poch gave for not starting him is also online if you would only search for it.

The argument was not that Trippier was better than Walker but that Walker was not as good as people here tried to claim just because Pep signed him.

They have denied Morata, denied Zappacosta, denied Bakayoko and every other player that was bought with big money. But if Pep buys anybody, that person was world class. There is a special place in hell for people who make such arguments.

Rose was injured and no top club was interested in taking him again after his injury, before his injury, United were interested in him with Shaw always being injury prone. Remember in that famous interview, Rose talked about wanting to leave before he retires to win titles and only top clubs bigger than Tottenham could give him that. After his interview in which he belittled Spurs, he had to work hard and make peace with Poch when he came back from injury before Poch could trust him again. It took a long time to get his place back.


Rose and Walker's scenarios are different. He wasn't seriously injured when Poch decided to bench him with Trippier. His attitude cost him his position because he wanted to move and Poch had to develop someone that'd continue when he's gone. Trippier has never been better than Walker unless in deliveries. Walker is a better defender than him and more versatile.
I can see that you are trying to appear sensible and dispassionate which is not the norm here so I will be slightly patient with you.

Rose was injured 2017/18 season but before then, 2016/17 season when he was in the team of the year he wanted out. The news is online. Why did Poch keep playing him?

Again, Walker fell out with Poch in 2016/17 season when he too made team of the year. Poch started playing Trippier over him. I posed to His Royal Foolishness that if I was to ask him to prove that Walker was benched because he wanted out, he cannot prove it. You too cannot prove it.

Do not mind pep fan boys. They will say anything to make it look like pep walks around with a magic wand which he waves and turns players to beasts. Even a blind man understood the walker/trippier situation at that time.

Pep had a young Iheanacho to work on and transform...but he went to Brazil to buy Jesus.

Tomorrow they will say he made messi...meanwhile, he can't conquer Europe again without messi.

Worst is he always flop against teams of equal strength. He have NEVER won as an underdog in any thing.
I have always maintained that most Chelsea supporters are Lemmings and your post epitomizes it. If I ask you to prove that Walker wanting to leave was the reason he was on the bench you can't. As if Rose did not want to leave himself yet they did not bench him that season.

The same you who is half-assing about blind people now mentioned Iheanacho whereas if you did a little research you would have known that Iheanacho left because he thought he would have first team opportunities in Leicester.

He always flops against teams with equal strength in the CL that he won twice? In 2008 when United were adjudged favorites to win the CL?

Oh God save Chelsea supporters.
