Spurs would lose the Finals out of inexperience. 9 seconds to go, Spurs have possession, scores are even, our MVP then decides to turn the ball over.

Ball turned over, 1 point down, 4 seconds to go, our MVP decides to try a midrange instead of going to the rim and asking for an alley hoop, where the ball would be thrown at an height only you can catch. The only reason you wont catch it is if you get fouled. Why are you an NBA player if you cant knock down at least 1 out of 2 FTs? Worst case scenario, OT and not an outright loss. You have a chance to try again.

I will not join the Mitchell blame game. He's the only one that tried.

Allen, Mobley played soft. Wth hell is up with Mobley. Wasn't he supposed to be the next KG?

Harden? Lmaoo. The Cavs will be insane to extend him. Allow him play his final year and if he throws a hissy fit look for a trade and see if another GM will fall mugu like you and believe you can win a chip with Harden

It will be really funny and really stupid. Front offices should know the times have changed. Superstars and superteams will win you nothing ATM. Youth, strength, talent, hunger & discipline will. OKC, Spurs and Detroit, Celtics & GSW have dropped blueprints on how to build through the draft alongside supplementary pieces. Any other experiment will fail at least for now. Teams like the Knicks have done well to build a decent roster with no outstandingly big names at the inception of building the team, no batmen, just a collection of robins and outright nobodies.

iHart:
You call me a pig? Make I first catch you😀

This guy

larride:
I once argued that IHart and Chet can't start together against the Spurs as it will affect their spacing on the floor.

Walai, he work baje bake

iHart had Wemby number all game. A template for the OKC for the rest of the series

Ihart was being a pig all night

larride:
Looking like the Spurs don't have depth like that.

Kornet and Barnes are like cones

Wemby sits and it's a 10pts lead within 2mins

They dont. Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper are it, nobody else. And Now Harper is starting cos Fox is injured. This may be their undoing, this lack of depth.

DeAaron Fox, you are needed in this bi*ch. Castle's TO need help. You are the stabiizing factor.

DeAaron Fox still not back. All hands need to be on deck to beat this stubborn OKC.

God forbid I go for ladies in their late 30s.
What's wrong with a 40+ guy and 28yr old lady?

You never ready. You are not lonely.

Kalulu44:
Good day ladies and gentlemen of the great NL house!
Before I go into the main gist. I want to first apologize to those who thinks I write stories too much and they're sometimes long and boring to them.
Let me introduce myself first. I'm a single father of 3 who lost his Benin wife to their Japa syndrome since 2010 and never seen or heard from till today.
By God's grace, after 20yrs of driving commercially to survive and train the kids, I formally retired last year. Not bcus the job wasn't lucrative, but bcus I was warned to stop after having some series of severe back pain, neck pain and leg pain.
Thankfully, before retiring I managed to win over a hired purchased bus that's fending for my 3 kids who are staying with my aunt who at 60+ doesn't have a husband nor a child.
Not wanting to stay idle, I currently work as a security personnel at a Guest House from 7pm to 11pm, while taking care of the owners house which is just beside it during the day. The owner is in US. So I practically stay in the big house all alone. Honestly there's no much work for me to do there other than weeding and cleaning the compound once every week. The rest of the day is just for eating, browsing and sleeping. Not wanting to be lonely and depressed is why I am almost online everyday, writing stories and gossips about my surroundings.
Like I always said, 90 to 95% of my stories are real life stories with the other percents like adding maggi, salt and spices to make it sweet or interesting.
I love writing, reading, driving, music, movies, sports especially football and watching documentary on history and biographies.
.
Now to the main gist. I lived and work in an area fully surrounded by hostels occupied by students and youths working in Chinese companies in Ogun state.
Electricity in the area is epileptic and comes once every week. Luckily for me, due to the guest house, I have 24/7 light from either solar or generator which makes water abundance for me.
But the students and workers are not that lucky. So majority of them always looks for where to charge their phone and also gets water.
When lights come, they normally pump water in their hostels, but it doesn't last more than two days.
Like two to three compounds normally used generator to pump water where they always go to. Sometimes the owners of those places allows them, sometimes they rejecting them.
Another only source of water in the street is a well at the extreme end of the street, it's stressful for some of them.
.
I started working where I am now January this year, but I always stay on my own and just observing the students and workers.
For me to make friends with some of them, I started getting water for some of them that usually greets me. If I see they have walked and walked looking for water and didn't see, I will just tell the person to drop his bucket and then go inside and get water from them.
But anytime I do this, they always thank me with sir sir.
One among them, who was learning hairdresser and selling men clothes online, approached me one day and begged for her to use my compound to make videos of her clothes.
I obliged her and ever since then which was February, we have been friends.
.
With time I began to like her, but her constant good morning sir, good evening sir just like the other girls used to greet me always discouraged me from telling her my mind about her.
After Easter my phone got spoilt and for close to 3 weeks I didn't have chance to go to Lagos and repair it.
And it was the time my feelings for her became strong.
I didn't know how to approach her, so I used the opportunity of her giving me her phone to charge for her to write down my feelings for her on a sheet of paper and attached it at the back of her phone.
.
When it was time to collect it, I told her there's a note I attached in her phone that she should read it. She collected it, thank me and bade me goodnight sir while bowing down a little as a Yoruba girl she's.
Hoping to get answer the next day, even though I was apprehensive on how she will take or react about it.
My people, this is 3 weeks now since I wrote that letter and she hasn't said anything or confronted me on why I wrote such notes.
But we have been greeting and talking to each other since the next day after the note till date, and both of us pretending such never happened.
I said to myself once I repair my phone, I will send her a msg asking what she thought about my note and why hasn't she replied.
I got my done last week, and I still don't have the courage to ask her both in person or thru msg.
.
But there's a reason why I haven't.
In between those times my phone was still spoilt and the note sent to her. There was an electrician who came to do some repairs in my compound sent by my boss.
It was same time she too came to do videos of her clothes in my compound. The electrician told me he like her that I should run her for him. I told him I can't that he should go himself.
So he used the guise of wanting to buy her clothes and approached her.
I sha know they exchanged numbers.
This was 2 weeks ago, so last week when the electrician came to finish his work, he ask me of her. I told him I thought you collected his number the other day. He said he did, and that he has bought clothes of 30k from her.
But that when he tries to pushed further about dating her, she told him she has a guy.
.
Hmmmm.... I heave to myself and asked him his next line of action. He said he'll pushed further. I just mutter the words ok o.
So since that last week, hearing she has a serious guy, (even though she hasn't brought any guy home or any man came looking for her unlike some of the other girls)
It just makes my resolve of asking her what she thinks about my note weak.
But we do see and talk everyday, but her constant "es'e sir, ekaro sir" always puts me off. I don't know if she's deliberately doing that so I will know she respects me as an elderly person. By the way she's 28 while I'm in my early 40s.
.
To the other girls, I am getting closer to some of them. But they too wants to kill me with sir sir sir, and thereby knocking me off of asking any of them out. All these is bcus one of my child a girl who's 17 came to visit me one day.
But the truth is I am seriously lonely, bored and depressed at times. If not for NAIRALAND and Sportsnews and YouTube, only God knows what I would have done to myself. I really need one of them as an acquaintance and if it can lead to a serious relationship, I am ready for it.
Just that I don't know how to go about it with the over respect they're according me.
.
So I am asking for womanology experts who knows how to go about this to give me some tips. The pictures attached to this post are mine, am I too old in the true sense of it or what. Cus physically I look young and agile to most of the guys I see some of them hang around with and I am not mincing words here. I will welcome any thoughts from you all, both insults and good advice.
After all I made the post to get engagement and discussion to kill off boredom.
Thanks and good day to you all once again.

Our minds play tricks on us when we look into mirrors. We think we are still young. We are not. Other young people who look at us see our real ages and they stay clear. That being said, look for ladies in their late 30s. You are looking for companionship, they are looking to settle down. Chances are, at that age, they may not get easily pregnant. You have got a free body to explore without protection. If She gets pregnant, that's her luck. But you looking at those young girls (any girl in her 20s still dey market) and thinking they will fall for you, that's a tall order. Even men who are rich can only pull those girls because of their money. Those girls will be there for the money, nothing else.

Wrong move man! The next president should create state or regional policing that would allow each region operate their police forces independently. That way no stupid orders can come from Abuja to release captured terrorists. It will be shoot on sight. Regional policing would create divisions between regions but there will be peace. We dont need unity, we need peace. If P.O cant do this, he should gettat.

This series may be determined by injuries. As it is, the Spurs are more vulnerable because of their thin bench. All players being healthy, Spurs in 6.

Roland17:
And they did this without D. Fox!!!!

This should be in capital letters...

First green flag, Her favorite subject/course is physics.

steady986:
So what is the standard? The Spurs? A team that has only one regular season as evidence of how good they can be. Lol. Una go soon learn.

Spurs would do what your mediocre Lakers couldn't

steady986:
I know we're all thinking the Spurs can stop OKC, but get that thought out of your minds because it's not happening. OKC are a complete level above Spurs. And don't say Spurs dominated them in the regular season and in-season tournament, that is ages ago, and in low stakes basketball. This is the playoffs, ain't no messing around here. I watched this team hand my team basketball lessons. And I know the Lakers are a level below the Spurs, but we're a decent team too. And it didn't matter. OKC just has multiple weapons they can throw at you.

And I know there's the Wemby factor, but it won't be enough. The only thing OKC need to do is make him as inefficient as possible on the offensive end, because Wemby will be Wemby defensively. But I know OKC has ways to work around the Wemby paint presence too.

It's either going to be a bloodbath, or it's going to end very quickly. Whichever way, I still back OKC to come through.

Your lakers aint shit. They are not a standard to measure OKC's abilities.

Owo ti wogbo

Roland17:
The werey has gone back to Cardi B. I don’t know why these cats just love drama. It’s like they can’t save themselves even if their lives depend on it.

That is why you still have to respect Lebron, Curry and other cats that have their shit together. I dont care about what Bron does on court. Off-court, I have to give him his due respect. The family legacy he has built is everything.

@Steady, dont come and start blowing his trumpet o. Your boy still aint shit.

I still dont understand why no one draws plays for Rudy Gobert. Ordinary lob sef, the guy no dey see. I dont understand why his height is not being utilized effectively. 4 FGA in this game? 4? It doesnt make sense. Every other short person is running around throwing bricks when there is a lobable giant in the paint. As how na? Abi the guy no sabi catch lob ni? I understand that Wemby is tall and would intercept that shit. But the likes of Giannis would still drive to the hole, dunks, layups, lobs, the whole package. OK Giannis is overstretching it. (There is a reason he is called a Freak) Jokic nko? Embiid nko? Wetin do Gobert nitori olorun? Is he that slow?

Roland17:
Wemby is something else. This is shaping up to be a great series. The refs are allowing them play. A physical series and that is the only way they can stop Wemby.

At this rate, he might get injured. I need him uninjured against OKC. I am not a basketball ashewo for nothing.

LEBRON JAMES IS THE FIRST PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY TO BE SWEPT IN BOTH CONFERENCES AND SWEPT IN 3 DIFFERENT DECADES

THANK YOU GOAT 🐐😆

nomorespams:
Good statistics to reveal but one game is just one game in the playoffs..the next game could involve Wemby and San Antonio could still lose the game regardless by a 5 or 15 point deficit.

That being said I think most of us believe Spurs are the best team than can ruffle OKC..and I personally believe if Wemby is healthy they can win it all but the OKC bench is the X factor; they literally bring points, treys and the sink to the table!

True! But OKC's feathers were shook during the regular season. 8-0 in the playoffs is diabolical. I need them shook. If Timbs is gonna do the job, let them go ahead. If not, let them give way for a better prospect.

Wemby gets ejected at Q2 and SAS loses by only 5points away from home. That is a team right there.

More than ever, I need SAS to win this series. I need OKC shook.

steady986:
There's no shame in getting swept by the best team in basketball with your Batman out injured and your Robin playing like crap

That's the point. No shame!

SmooshCHN:
Draymond and Harrison Barnes were the culprit in that series. I hate to remember that year. Yes he played the best games of his life when he returned but his dirty plays was what led to game 4. I'm never forgiving Barnes by the way. All he had to do was hit those open corner series.

After the slap on the wrist from the KD situation, the Poole incident honestly felt inevitable. It’s what happens when bad behavior keeps getting excused instead of addressed. The right move would’ve been to trade him, trade Klay as well since he was already frustrated with the team, but the Warriors had no spine.

Now we’re stuck paying him $27M a year to put up 8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.

At this point, we deserve every bit of nonsense coming our way.

More nonsense coming GSW's way. Look at the team. Porzingis, Butler, Horford. GSW is the new retirement home.

birdman:
Embiid, thank you for letting me down just in time, just like you did in fantasy playoffs lol

meanwhile, we need your commentary on the impending beatings your Lakers will collect tonight

3-0. Beatings confirmed.
Bring out the brooms gentlemen! Steady's man had better retire.

Nothing is as good as getting married and locking up. The amount of trash outside ehn!

Dude doesnt look inspiring

Bahamas95:
Mbappe is the Jonah of football, a player like him does more harm than good in a team.

If he was still at PSG they wouldn't have achieved this feat.

Now he has carried his bad luck to Real Madrid. I have said severally on this platform. Real Madrid is winning nothing as long Mbappe plays for them.

Roland17:
I don’t know how I feel about that final possession by the Spurs to end the game. Should M. Johnson have called a timeout? Tough, considering they got the shot they were looking for, especially with their best 3 point shooter.. But again, with a 7’4 player, a timeout for a set play would have gotten you a better chance..

By the way, I hope they force the Meerkat to watch a coach like C. Finch.

As in! They needed 2points to tie the game and take it to OT. Better safe than sorry.

Which kain stupid game be this?
