SmooshCHN where are you? Demarcus is an arse. KD was worse than I had ever seen him before. The ISO-heavy selfish play he was doing and then giving up and acting frustrated each time a team-mate made a mistake was so frustrating to watch.

Where did our ball movement go to and what's up with our 3pt defence? It is not a coincidence that teams have their best shooting 3pt nights against us..and Oracle is no longer a fortress. The only positives from yesterday were Draymond and Steph Curry.

As for those ignoramuses saying Atiku has a mandate, I am laughing at your ignorance. PDP polling agents were signing result sheets in the so-called states they are now complaining about because they thought they will write outrageous numbers in their strong zones. But as it turned out, voter turn-out was poor in those places and they were resisted from writing rubbish results. Now they want to turn around and claim they were rigged when they rigged themselves but could not rig enough. It is so inane.

PDP were foolish with Akwa Ibom results. Them and the INEC staff who helped them did an absolutely atrocious job and Akpabio will easily win this case. They waited for 9 LGA results to be counted and collated with only 1 more left, then when they realised he was leading by too many votes to make up with the last LGA, they decided to stall on the announcement of the result only to appear 5hrs into the next day and just announce the PDP candidate as the winner. That is absolutely senseless. That is why they easily got a court injunction stopping INEC from issuing a certificate of return to the "winner". Even result sheets were tampered with and you can see it clearly. Disgraceful.

My own is, Luke Walton was supposed to be the brain behind 73-9 abi while Kerr was supervisor? Is he not coaching the best player in the NBA? Wetin dey sup?

Spy360:
The three make up the best in the world. But if I must pick one right now, it's gonna be the Barça guy. He was doing point blank saves like the ball was part of his body...

Tbh, I question my eyes but I agree with this. I came to the same conclusion yesterday. That Perhaps, Ter actually does edge it at this point in time.

Valverde managed this game well.

Vidal has put in a shift.

Suarez has been shiit.

Modric Handball that ref did not see.

kodded:
good game ?

he gave torreira straight red card even tho he touched the ball, but he gave Danny rose just a yellow card for a far dangerous challenge

For virtually the same thing tbh. He really messed up the game although not intentionally, the ref.

The penalty should have been retaken. Vertoghen was clearly encroaching which is why he was quick to defend Auba after he missed.

I think the game was poorly reffed and that Iwobi was solid. I don't know what anyone is talking about shakushaku.

Arsenal were tactically head and shoulders above their north London rivals and deserved to win.

Yea, Demarcus Cousins is ass.

Yea, Steve Kerr rotated foolishly when Jordan Bell was playing well.

Yes our bench sucks and it has sucked all year long.

Where were you when the Warriors got beat 33-15 in one quarter against the Magics?

Did I mention that it was a 4th Q?

Or that GSW led by 11 going into that Quarter?

Khanben:
Come on, how do you outplay a player who has better stats and effect on his team while he is being done teamed throughout a playoff series. While KD never gets double teamed in the Cave series.
One of the most salient reasons why I have MJ above other wings is because he is the only one of them who played his entire career, where no other player in his team was ever double teamed.
KD won two finals MVP without being double teamed for the series, so forgive me if I do not call that person the best player in the world.

I don't know how to make emotional arguments. Legacy wise Lebron is ahead of KD. In the last 2 years? No. When the played head to head in 2012 KD averaged more points in that finals. You people still said Lebron was better even when he had Dwade and Bosh. All the other times, they said Lebron was doing more overall -defensively (since KD always had better offensive output). Today, KD defends better than Lebron and he has proven that in 2 finals. The talk about Lebron being double-team issa fat lie my man. At least not by GSW. Go and rewatch all our playoff games against him. And if being double teamed makes a player great then Curry is better than both of them as he is the one who gets double-teamed.

GSW strategy has always been to leave the ball in Lebron's hands and let him get all the buckets so his teammates will be out of rhythm. You can check this thread on the day he scored those 53pts or so in game 1. I said it here.

birdman:
People were saying Durant was going to be the next best player in the league as Lebron starts to age. To me, I feel like that baton is going to Antetokoumpo instead.

Maybe being on a talented warriors is reducing how much Durant has to do, but if I had to choose between these two, it would be the greek freak.

Kevin Durant has been the best player in the NBA since 2017. All the arguments people used to make for Lebron are all flat because KD has consistently outdone him. He has outplayed Lebron in 2 straight finals in both scoring and defending. Because one player looks like he is carrying more does not make him better. To suddenly shift to Antetokoumpo is just pure mischief. He is not even better than Curry, Kawhi, Harden yet in that order.

Ibime:
You're joking right? Tinubu that purportedly wanted VP slot in 2015?

APC will never field Osinbajo in 2015. Otherwise PDP will trump them with a Northern Muslim candidate. Those almajiris up North don't care about your zoning arrangement.

Someone who.is both Buhari and Tinubus boy and who ticks the same "northern" and "integrity" credentials, and is.also sellable to the South is Ribadu. He is the one Buhari will likely handpick, and he is already a Tinubu boy and acceptable to Western structure having run for ACN in 2011.

This is not true. PMB wanted Fashola in 2015, it was BAT that recommended PYO instead. This narrative about BAT wanting to be VP was instigated by the PDP then in an attempt to disunite the then burgeoning APC.

SmooshCHN:
Jokes on you using regular season aggregate to judge the playoffs. Well known chokers are guys like CP3 and Harden who have been consistent at it for years.

Even if they are not chokers people act like they were not leading 17pts and 15pts in the back to back losses of game 6 and 7 (without CP3) whereas they were losing by 12 and 5 or so with him in games 4 and 5 that they ended up winning.

People forget that the games 4&5 were won by a total of 5pts and we had the possessions to actually win. And that was prime Rockets. Their best ever.

popizaino:
Having 3-0 aggregate loss to a particular team calls for concern going into playoffs.They are full of confidence like never before against the warriors.Remember how they even drag the playoffs series with the warriors till an unfortunate injury to Chris Paul?well my only optimism is that history should repeat itself against the well known chokers .

Remember how eastern teams were beating the Cavs till the playoffs and then Lebron swept the Raptors?

I get tired of saying it but I have to say it again. It is EXTREMELY difficult to motivate a team that has played 4 NBA finals on the trot to take all regular season games seriously. As a fan, you only hope and pray they mean business on said day. What winners like Kerr do is use such games to test tactics or to explore what the other team is planning crunch time.

Blazers inn15/16 blew us out by 33 pts after the all star game with Curry playing and were down 0-2 when he was injured during the playoffs of that same year. Take the regular season seriously at your own peril.

madridguy:
Someone should update me about Kogi State.

Modified: just got this now on twitter from premium times

Dino Melaye leads Smart Adeyemi in race for Kogi West Senate seat https:///CTmjjvq4it

Dino suffered the same fate as Saraki. You can quote me tomorrow

Buckubuck:
Your idiocy is incurable. If you know he's a thief and you can prove it, should approach the financial crimes agencies. That's what good citizens do, not make it a point of argument. Fools like you think you're doing Nigeria good by coming online to mouth anti-corruption. A baboon like you can't understand the implications of bullion van entering a politician's house on the eve of elections. But I know you're just an hypocrite. If it were to be from another party you'll be calling for fire and thunder. Wherever you push this nation to for pittance, your children will meet it there

Your name should be dumbudumb.

SmooshCHN:
So we've established the fact that the Warriors are overrated.. I don't want to hear shìt once the playoffs starts. I don't want to hear they have 6 all stars. Don't be unfortunate.

Only one team can be overrated, with overrated players who can win 3 rings and still have an overrated coach. LOOL.

Rockets are not overrated after losing to Lakers. Or Celts after losing to Bulls. LOOOL.

Manutd19:
And that bothers you?

Stupid

It does not, that is why I replied her and not you.

Odense Beckham.

papiforreal:
Buhari is getting Kano with at least 75%. So Taraba votes cannot do anything. Their voting population is low

He was not even winning in Taraba.

tesppidd:
never expected what I'm seeing from lagos and the south west,

even with osinbajo on the ballot!

When I was in Nigeria, I stayed in the very same place. I know well and good that the elite will not vote PMB. I am talking retired top military men who stole monies from the pension schemes. Former PDP cronies who got windfalls for doing nothing many of which could not spend lau lau under this govt. Is it the same elite that were hiding millions of dollars in apartments and condos? They hate PMB with a passion so I am not surprised at all. Besides, that result will be balanced by the ones from the ghettos and suburbs. Those will vote PMB massively. The shocker TBH is the Ogun results. APC will win but it is a lot closer than expected considering PDP did not even campaign there.

CuteRedd:
overrated?? Naso

Just leave that dense guy. I told you he only appears when Warriors lose. LOL.

Ziggylady:
According to APC every one in Nigeria should be poverty-stricken..There should be no middle-class much less rich people in this country

The only people allowed to be financially okay and live some sort of dignigied life as humans are buhari/Osinbade and their families and cronies,zombie workers like Ogumlesi,Ogundamisi,Bashir Ahmed(spotted with Louis Vuitton travelling bag two days ago)Keyamo who was paid 400million to be an a**hole e.t.c

God will certainly punish you inherently wicked and satanic APC supporters...whether b6hari wins or loses.

It was 400Billion they paid Festus Keyamo sef.

Gandollaar:
You sound like a broken record. Lol

Awww.

When you are done supporting a loser lick your wounds and be alright you hear? You are going to face PMB till 2023.

Buckubuck:
It is a disgusting habit to always label anyone who doesn't support your political choice corrupt. This election has exposed hypocrites like you. Tinubu dis something so brazen as to move bullion van during election yet I've not heard any of you idiots denounce him. Most people voting for buhari in the north are basing their judgement on his tag as a ethno-religious champion, not any superb achievement. You simply can't expect better informed ppl to toe same line

You are disgustingly stupid. I am talking about a neighbour I had and you are telling me I labelled someone. Lol. He himself knows he is a thief and he said it. Did you see me mention a specific name? That is to show you I know the people I am talking about. As for your Tinubu this and that, you will just pander to the other bucolic troglodytes that share your penchant for knaves and hooligans. Tinubu carried his own money to distribute to people. It may not be presentable but it is not an act of thievery. If you want to castigate him, prove that his money is ill-gotten or STFU. I am here, presenting the people who stayed around me and the way some of them made their monies. Those people will never support a President Buhari regime and that is fine.

tesppidd:
The contest is looking kinda close...

At the end of the day it will boil down to NE/NW versus SE/SS.


But NE/NW has 28 million voters.

And SE/SS has 20 million voters.

Close in what places?

Focusmind:
There is something I have notified about Nigeria election. Rich and highly educated people know how to make better and informed decisions.

Poor and local people make decisions based on tribal and religious sentiments. Our politicians knows this and that's why they campaign more where poor stay.

This is the reason why Nigeria and Africa are backwards. Voters don't know how to make decisions. Mundane and non-relevant issues are taken into consideration.

What is happening in Ikoyi, Victoria island, Lekki and Maitama confirmed this assertion.

LOL. Informed decision my foot. I had a neighbour who got 1B off a road contract and lived in one of the places you mentioned above. Who got paid for the job and did nothing under GEJs govt. Or is it Deziani's sister that lives in VGC that will vote for PMB?

They are inconsequential.

One Polling Unit with people who built houses off fictitious contracts in the past government? Nothing new. No free contracts anymore for thieves.

I just pray Draymond is alright.

Fu*ck the other starters for coasting because they felt Harden was out. Fu*ck them for the 0-15 start. And Fu*ck them for being lethargic after we took the lead.

ayoalani:
u said he was outcoached? Not true...the formation was the best he could come out with considering our upcoming fixtures.
the errors in first half leading to the goals were the players' fault. He also made a good decision playing coutinho and dembele together bfor replacing the former with alena

Oga, players will make mistakes for any goal but the pattern in which they scored and had their chances showed we were getting outplayed. Stop lying to yourself. Not everyone who calls out the coach every once in a while hates him. Today was like a boxing match where one fighter kept landing more punches till the 12th round and was leading in the box score by huge points but the other fighter luckily landed a heavy hook and dropped his opponent for a KO, thus winning the fight. Swear on your life that if any other player bar Messi got those chances we will score from them or the pass to Suarez someone else will make it when and how Messi did?

I rarely post here because I have little interest in the league but let us stop lying to ourselves abeg. Messi's talent just saved us today.
