The twerk is for the defensive adjustment. KCP might have to give way to Reggie.
Ok! Let's fucking go.

Game 2 is differently going to be different from this game 1 as I believe Malone will make some tactical adjustment.
Nothing is going to be different unless Jamal Murray steps up to deliver at least 30-35 points. Denver's engine have always been Jokic & Murray. MPj is usually the occasional star. AG and Caldwell Pope are non-factors. And like mentioned severally, there is no bench. Bruce Brown kept it ticking last championships. There is no freaking body on the bench unless Reggie Jackson suddenly becomes superman.

One of the best posts here.

In times past it was very difficult to make a lot of money. Those who succeeded were so conducted themselves in a particular way and came very easily to shame. They also tried to ensure that nobody close to them soiled their reputation.

The Patriarch of that family had to strong willed in order to keep his proteges in line including not limited to wielding the big stick when necessary.

What this man would have done is to buy time and get one or two people who are lieutenants/confidants to the Patriarch over to his side and then seek a middle course of action that can lead to a somewhat amicable solution. It doesn't have to be a battle always.

He has too much to lose. In medieval Europe that family will destroy the girls business and the young man will be emasculated.

The girl is pregnant hence the desperation. The family took that drastic step because they don't trust her intentions. She is older and thus manipulative. It's also about the background. Some people have dirt poor backgrounds that no matter the amount of wealth they acquire, their past sticks out like a sore thumb. For example, how do you clean up an illiterate mother or father that can't communicate in English? If ones siblings have been unfortunate not to go to school and not cleaned up too, you can't hide them forever. It's just you, the shining light out of the dunghill, nah! They will classify you as part of the dunghill no matter how much you cleanup.

Don't go where you are not wanted. The worst thing a person can do is to force themselves on others or their families, it's never worth it.

The boy definitely comes from wealthy but old money doesn't accept everybody, especially those who've been around town. Old money only accepts old money.
Old money will accept new money if new money is highly cerebral, intellectual, exposed and from a middle-class family background, not dirt poor.

You are the biggest clown I've seen on nairaland.
Defending a coach that make poor rotation.
If it was another team coach you guys won't say this..

Because it's LeBron team una don turn analyst.. lmao 🤡
Poor rotation indeed. What the Lakers need is someone who will sit Lebron's candy ass down and not allow him handle the ball so much. He is stagnating their game play because most of the offense goes through him. He is taking too many isos, has the ball longer than he should and doesn't track back on defence when he loses the ball.

At one point in the series against Denver, He dribbled the ball off his own foot and then turned around and yelled at Prince about it. Like say na Prince make am lose ball. At another time, he was in pole position to catch a defensive rebound when Murray drove to the paint in front of him and Reaves. Reaves contested the shot, he didn't. He stood right beside both of them expecting the same Reaves who contested the shot to catch the rebound. When he didn't, he scowled at him. Who does that? He wants to play all offense and play no defense. He takes the glory when they win and shit on his teammates when they lose. You too dey here dey blame Darvin Ham because of the rotation. Yes I support you because he didn't have the balls to put Lebron in his place. LeBron has no business being PG at his age. When he pushes DLo out of PG position, what is the poor guy supposed to do if not to stand around and wait for crumb shots with no minute left on the clock, delayed shots because young Papa oldie is playing PG with his old arse moves.

Guess we will never know. The point is Giannis injury rendered everything irrelevant. If the former guy was there and Giannis is injured they would still lose

Bucks are doing a poor job of blending their young players with the old ones and that's why Indy gives them so much problems. It's the speed, they're too quick
Without Giannis, they won 2 games, Without Lilard, they won one. My guy, no ifs, no buts , no maybes, With Giannis, they are beating Pacers. Already, beef is on the table with that stunt that Turner & co pulled by stealing the game ball, them fit drag themselves to game 7, them fit wound themselves, them go even fight, that one sure. Still, Bucks are coming out tops. This is playoffs not regular season.

All of 'em young stars would avoid anything Los Angeles now. Why allow some washed up stars use you to bolster their CVs when you can do bad all by yourself and attract all the attention they are getting? CP3, Bron, Kahwi, Harden & Westbrook are finished goods. Curry has a lot in his tank but until he learns to use his midrange more & stop stat padding by chucking 3s, I'll call him washed too.

The NBA season did not start in April 2024. The Pacers owned the Bucks 4-1 in the regular season and feasted on their best lineups throughout the season. Nothing going into the post season suggested the Bucks would better this Pacers. The Bucks were still ranked bottom of the pack in defensive rating and if I was a bettor my money would be on the Pacers.

As for the embolden, I will leave you to your convictions because I don't see it, even with a healthy Heat roster.
None of us saw them eliminating the Bucks last year, they did. Playoffs basketball dey always dey different. You yourself know that one. If it takes Giannis dropping 50 every night, he will make that attempt. Lillard's defence is trash, He still dragged Portland to WCF in 2019 with that defence. Middleton would also stepup like he did in Game 4 & 5. Playoff basketball is different from regular season.

Bucks lost due to the injuries bro but they could have still lost without the injuries. They have been atrocious and they can't hold a torch to the celtics....
How do you plan to take the celtics to 7 games with that kind of defence. Heck, even if they manage to beat Indian, they'd have lost to the knicks....
That's why it's the playoffs. They would figure it out. Patrick Beverly joining the team strengthened defence. Middleton would have stepped up just the way he did. To be honest, My comeback at Ronald was because we was dugging Giannis for getting rid of Griffin. Griffin with this team would still have lost to the Celtics. The Bucks lost it by letting go Jrue and coach Bud, still it's the playoffs. Bucks go beat Knicks. Celtics would have been their bustop though and A.J Griffin wouldn't have been able to prevent it. Losing Jrue was stupid.

We told them the trade was trash but Giannis needed a scapegoat rather than hold himself and other members of the locker room accountable.

It was easy to trash and disrespect your head coach in public and ultimately sign off on his firing because you influenced his hire.

This Bucks will end like I predicted, it is already following the script. Giannis will leave the Bucks and become a villain to that city.
Baba, bucks lost because of the injuries not the trade. With Giannis and Lilard healthy, they will at least drag Celtics to game 7 in the ECF. That one na sure banker. Even with the Porzingis and Holiday trade, E still no sure for you people, shey you know? What am I even saying? Heats for done commot una if Butler and Rozier was healthy.

dottyeah:
I stopped watching the moment I got to the part the speaker said he was witch hunted because he was Igbo (emotional blackmail)

Now let me debunk their lies


- 100yrs ago, entire place was land owned by the Oniru family.

- ⁠Over a century the beach was lost to the ocean till the erosion started threatening VI till early 2000s

- ⁠2003- BAT engaged Hitech to build the “Wall of Lagos”, reclaim the land and build Eko Atlantic. Reached agreement with Oniru before project on ownership of the land to be reclaimed.

- ⁠2007ish- the idea of the coastal road was birthed, to start from Eko Atlantic.

- ⁠2007 Landmark bought property backing the “ocean” which is e basically land that based on plan will be reclaimed. With a clearly marked fence that ends just before the water that based on plan will be reclaimed.

- ⁠- ⁠2017 ish Landmark went to his “backyard and created a football pitch” on a land that he didn’t buy and was collecting money.

- ⁠2018ish- Landmark continued expanding on land that they didn’t buy, building shanties and charging money.

- ⁠2019-20 Landmark grew bolder and was selling shops space on the beach to businesses. I have to emphasize, on the beach front that he did not buy.

- ⁠Around 2019/20 Oniru beach also opened up.
- ⁠Around 2021, LaCampagne also joined them.

- ⁠2023- Lekki Deep seaport was completed. Opening up additional economic activity on the coastal line.

- ⁠2023- BaT was elected, coastal Hitech revisited their old friend and proposed to start phase 1 that links Eko Atlantic to Deep Seaport

- ⁠2024- project started, Road is supposed to pass through LandMark’s “backyard that they didn’t buy.

- ⁠FG gave notice to everyone including Onirus (that owned the land before it was lost to the sea) and LaCampagne.

- ⁠Everybody knew this day would come, so everybody Jejely vacated land that they know they did not buy. Landmark said lailai and started media rounds.

- ⁠2024- Landmark claimed they have $200m investment on the beach.

- ⁠Umahi visited and conceded that rather than have 100m corridor, the one at his side will be 50m, and gave Landmark engineering tips to retain the tourism.

- ⁠Landmark said coastal road should pass in front of property, not the back. The front is 2 line a road, the coastal road is supposed to be 10 lanes. With 100m corridor. Landmark’s proposal will actually affect the land he bought, if accepted.

- ⁠Last weekend Umahi carried on as planned. Destroyed the shanties on the beach worth “$200m”.

It’s too long, but that’s the summary.


Oniru Family land was also taken but no one said anything, the Agenda now is that he was targeted because he’s an Igbo man 😂😂😂😂
You've said it all. I have also taken my time to explain this but the Igbos here are not even willing to give common sense a chance.

What is today known as landmark beach will tomorrow be just another parcel of land when the phase 2 of Eko Atlantic city kicks off. According to obidients here that refuse to think, phase 2 of Eko Atlantic city should be abandoned because of one man's business on a land which isn't his. Tribalism will lead us no where in this country.

The original plan for the costal road according to Umahi goes through SE but the President have told him to remove the SE because it will no longer be a coastal road if the SE is included.

They change all the route and weaponised a road against Igbo people.

This is a very narcissistic and silly thing to say. You make mention of weaponizing the road against Igbos, please is there any Southeast state close to the ocean? Or you don't know the meaning of coastal? Please stop this victimisation mentality. To you, everything must go your way, if it doesn't, you are being witch-hunted. That's a very very wrong view of life I must say. About the Landmark issue, I have analysed that in a post just below your original post.

When we insult Gen-Zs, this is the reason why. That chill to just seek information for information sake is not just there. They just hop on any thread and stupidly ride on till the wheel falls off.

For those who care to know, This is the plan for Eko Atlantic City. That red mark is where Landmark is situated. There are still plans to extend the Atlantic City to all the beach areas where Landmark is situated and other beaches. The coastal road is the beginning of that phase of the Atlantic city. Nobody is explaining this part of the development. The owner of Landmark too is aware of this & is not saying anything about it. Landmark beach would basically disappear because of the Atlantic city but it is not because of any witch-hunting.

I've been married for 2 years now with a new born baby. the issue now is that anytime we have issues my wife always threatens to leave.
she will arrange and bag and say she's leaving. this has happened more tha 4 times, basically anytime we have issues as a couple.

She will say she's still young and she can't take any nonsense in marriage, Mind u i have never hit her before so this isnt a case of domestic violence, just normal couples issue.

I'm tired of this and i'm thinking about my options right now, I want to tell her to leave but she should drop my child for me. she can't use our marriage as a threat everytime we have issues
There are two things involved. If you married her a virgin, you are safe. If you didn't marry her a virgin, there are two things involved. She either loves you more than her ex(s) or she doesn't. If she really loves you more than her ex(s), you are safe. If she loves her ex(s) more than you, there are two things involved. It's either someone else (could be her ex) is wooing her or no one is wooing her. If no one is wooing her, you are safe. If someone else is wooing her, there are two things involved. It's either she likes the person or she doesn't like the person. If she doesn't like the person, you are safe. If she likes the person. There are two things involved, she would either cheat on you or not cheat on you. If she doesn't cheat on you, you are safe. If she cheats on you. There are two things involved, it's either you find out or you don't find out. Either way, you are screwed.
