Havard, Harvad or Harvard

Amen, Amen and AMEN!! 

Apparently, he's been leaking his secrets to Rondo (or perhaps they mutually decided to play flop-tag and twas Rondo's turn in the game 7s ). _{Oh where's a 3ple double when U need 1} , LOL

Not quite to Rondo, more like he borrowed Derrick Rose's playbook  and is devouring it ferociously. Rondo didn't get more of the triple dip but he didn't stink out the joint like this other fella I know 

  Magic fans prepare to be washed, wrung & hung out to dry by Cleveland! lol

Moonstone:
I just saw the scores and I have to say Sorry to my dear Celt-girls. Don't worry - we were not expecting either of our teams (except Lakers) to make it far into the finals. Now can everyone start helping me support Cavs?

Reserve my space on the bandwagon jare I didn't expect the Celtics to even make it this far so no let down there. Besides I have been saying I don't want us to be the ones Cleveland embarrasses.

Orlando is not a strong team. They live and die by the 3pt shot and it happened to be falling like mad yesterday. When they face a very good defensive Cleveland so many of their deficiencies will be exposed.

Thanks girl! Make what mark on Corporate America? As I'm typing this - I'm waiting for my flight to Lagos. Myself and America don't mix very well. For now, I need to get my head rooted before working for anyone. I just need time to get myself ready for the work experience. :DLOL!

Men I am jealous it seems people all around me are going home every second. Enjoy urself o jare and make sure you stop in to say hi to us

A-40, let him read it well well. Bynum is on a I-show-up-every-3-4 games-schedule where was all that gra-gra in game 6? lol

Moonstone, CONGRATS!!! I'm sure you're ready to make ur mark on corporate america .

Chiogo, na you biko! valedictorian! very nice girl. Continue that shine sista, they ain't seen nuthin yet btw, which college r u looking at?

Anybody watching the game? Orlando ate their vegetables today, the 3pt shooting is the difference.

This is a strange feeling . . . to be silently hoping for a quiet, dignified loss lol. LeBron vs Kobe is written in the stars.

Good to know jare i am a tad younger sha my age tallies with my birthdate[/quote] 

I am the only one allowed to call her that name lol

oh my bad! copyright infringement, eh no vex sir  consider this my retraction

Another femme fatale in the building

hehe you best believe it  I proof-read the book on playa-ism

Kidd i don't know he kinda improved late in the season but he is 36 how many more years does he still have left in him?? as for Green he is simply not NBA quality i look at people like him and i wonder why i didn't take Basketball seriously

We just need a few more productive players!! lets do away with duds like Dampier,Green,George and Carroll

Go for another PG if Kidd is going because i am not sure Barea is ready yet

And that's the biggest problem. If Cuban signs him for just 1 maybe 2-yr deal that would be fine, but as for a long term contract I don't think the mavs should commit to that. Green has always been all fluff and no substance, Ainge was good to rid Boston of him.

  I do think Barea is ready to be a starter. No player can develop into that role until he's given the chance to gain experience and from the little we've seen of Barea I'd say he's got mad potential.

 
  Lakers couldn't close it out - I hope no one is suprised. Game 7s are dangerous . . . anything can happen and the Laker bench are not earning their paychecks at all. Gasoft continues to let smaller people bully him in the paint, Hayes is playing like a top 10 draft pick lol and Brooks is just  . But Ariza is a major bright spot, kid has good future ahead. Sunday will be a lotta fun. I want the C's to win, half-heartedly . . . I don't want us to be the ones Cleveland unleashes their fury on 

spikedcylinder:
@ Max, I started watching that Wall E sometime ago, never got to the end of the first quarter. I like some soppy movies but that one just didn't do it for me.

lol . . . I know exactly what you mean, I finished the movie on my 3rd attempt  . After about 15 mins I was like okay . . . next . . . I looked at the total time and it was only about 1.5 hrs and decided to just tough it out. Its a cute movie though but    sawrry Max & Vesc.

vescucci:
All you Wall-E haters have grown up too fast. You've lost your ability to be awed.

lol, no we haven't, we just need to be awed by something that's actually awesome  

vescucci:
Jeez lady. My mind is so twisted, it borders on perverted. Don't lay it on so thick on a brother. I hope only I know what the hello I'm talking about. Spike, with ur typo, wonker, did you mean worker or self-servicer? After all we're in England. I mean in the film. When you see Wall-E, do so with your kiddie mind. Pretend like there never existed either of the bush men, George Bush and George Bush. There's no war in Sudan, Iraq etc. No fuel scarcity.

I do that every night brotha, every night. How else can a person sleep?

Bawo I never thank you yet ese gan my brotha

Sorry Jesoul I've been running up and down for grad - For this, I hope you get 3ce the amount of blessings that you deserve for your birthday.

You guys are too awesome     it is never late jare thank you so much for the wishes, ese gan!   A-40 I don't mind at all, I'm mid-20  
Moonie, hope graduation plans are coming along okay    is it this weekend?

I wish y'all luck - send me the IVs please. . . I wish I can emulate you - I usually get bored after 6 months.   You gotta teach me how.

lol . . . I know what you mean girl. I dunno if there's any real secret, I just really and honestly enjoy being with him and spending time with him. We're so opposite in personality, I guess it balances out lol. I'm good at reading pple i knew he was genuine from the start unlike the prior players who thot they could play but instead got played  


  back to the regularly scheduled program . . .

A few Free Agents that need sorting out: Bass,Singleton,Kidd,Green, (we need to get rid of that lazy ass) George (Ope ooh!!!)
Why on earth is Ericka Dampier not on that list? he needs to leave ASAP

ROTFLOL . . . A-40 you won't kill me with laughter   I think Kidd and Green are def gone. But I see Cuban retaining Bass, he has some potential if he pulls up on his bootstraps and gets dirty.
 Overall I would say the Mavs season enede better than feared, from almost missing the playoffs to making it to the 2nd rd, Cuban can't be too mad.

@Moonstone
I really liked that Fingerlicking gig. On seeing the place from the outside, my initial instinct was to 180 and bolt, but i'm glad i didnt. It had the feel of a typical Naija Buka (i even swatted at a few flies) but the food was actually good and not pricey at all (I had Isi-Ewu and Pounded yam/Egusi! hehehe). They even had the shayo holy trinity (Gulder/Star/Palmy). Will surely be BACK!

ROTFLOL . . . hilarious Out here we don't really have african spots, and if we did and there were flies someone woulda called the health dept by now

@JeSoul
the place of which you speak should be the Galleria in downtown houston (unless of course, Houston is replete with over-priced malls). Things dear for that place no be small. Trudged along with my sis earlier in the week for some pre-graduation shopping and I saw a leather jacket for 3000 bucks . I asked the clerk if wearing it would make me invisible. He replied that it would depend on what else i was wearing. LOL. He obviously didn't get the joke.

Yep that's it. lol $3000 jacket kpe kini?. . . the prices in there ehn the only thing I could afford was food lol. The rest na to watch the kids skating and window shop.
My big sis taught me an all important lesson when I was 7yrs. We were walking past a beauty salon and the price to get hair done was 3x as much as she usually paid. I said "wow, only rich people must go there". My sis looked at me and shook her head and said "No, only stupid people go there" I never forgot and never overpay for anything.

chiogo:
It's may 14th, I gotta drop some love for my sweetie.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESOUL!!!!!!!!

I wish you all the good that life has to offer - Success, happiness, good health, and longevity.
May you outshine those around you today 'cause you got it like that!

Happy birthday!!! Party like a rock star!!!!
Don't forget to blow out your candles!!

muchos gracias Chiogo you're sucha darling I take all those prayers and say a huge AMEN to them! Too bad the C's couldn't put the cherry on the cake with a win but issall good, Orlando we're waiting for you come sunday

No2Atheism:
That's good , saw some of your youtube videos, (i didn't know you were a superstar just managing us peasants on NL)

glad you enjoyed the videos brotha   lol superstar ke, I am fellow peasant jare

Yes and in the words of Uncle Sege: I dey kampe

I'm glad to hear that     continue to remain firm in the Lord sweetie  

No2Atheism:
Yes you are correct, "am guilty as charged" am trying my best to change sha, trying my best to limit my posts to as little diatribe and as much facts as possible, whether or not atheists and others listen or not.

My dear we can all do a better job. I have learned myself with time how to walk away and be respectful even when it is not returned . . . I've seen that there is no weakness in submission and no shame in doing the right thing even when it is not popular.

No2Atheism:
@jesoul are u a broadcaster,  , wats with u forgeting ur lines.

yes sir  I host a local tv show out here in Boston. The poor camera dudes had to do like a gazillion takes for just a paragraph    anyways how u dey my brotha?

@topic
Atheists are humans they are not aliens hence they also feel the need to be right, and unfortunately since no one can prove or disprove the existence of a Creator the only way they can have peace of mind is by "proactively" trying to engage people in discussions so that those people would try to give them an evidence of the existence or non existence of a Creator.
Hence the best way to inflict pain on atheists is to ignore them, cus that way they would never be able to justify themselves or their reasoning. Atheists need an audience, just make sure you don't give them one.

And I think these discussions are great for both sides to air their viewpoints. But so much of the religion forum is anything but "healthy discussion" and both sides are guilty not just the atheists. There are some cool ones, but unfortunately most of them don't post often. To me most of the posts in this section are only good for one thing: to be ignored.

humblesoul:
i understand how you feel about religion, as u said religion has caused a lot of problems and has given a lot of people excuses but you have to admit there are good muslims, christians, hindus, buhdists etc out there who just go about their normal lives without bugging anyone, and a lot of people also find peace and love in their hearts thru religion!!!

A very pertinent fact that many of our atheist brethren here on NL refuse to acknowledge. There is so much good that is done in the name of religion whether christian or muslim YET most of the atheists here only choose to focus on the bad and paint all religious people with the same tainted brush.

manmustwac:
@post
I never used to bother with the religious section until i came across a topic by JeSoul called [b]The Problem With The Atheist which to me was a bloody insult to my intelligence coz as far as am concerned i don't have a problem[/b]. But that topic made me realise that the reason why nigeria is not progressing is because of RELIGION.

The masses {or millions} will rather go to those big massive prayer conventions and pray for wealth health jobs etc. They think that an invisible man is going to come from the sky to solve thier problems. When instead the millions should just march down to Aso Rock and demand change. If change donsen't come then they should riot. Even if 50 or 100 of them get shot or killed its better you die for a cause instead of fighting the Hausas.

you certainly don't have a problem. And since you read the contents of that thread I'm sure you must have understood it was directed at the atheists who participated heavily in the religion forum. You're misrepresenting the contents of that thread and my motive behind it. Any intrested NLders can peep it here   https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-159225.0.html

Awww, thanks a bunch to JeSoul, Moonstone, and A-40 for the birthday wishes. Y'all are the best!!!!

My Celtics made me proud once again yesterday, best birthday gift ever!!

Heard the Lakers held it down also. hmm, interesting.

something must be goin round . . . I'm also sidelined with the flu

Who is your man? and please don't tell me its Jesus

lol, how did you know? j/k all the nba, nfl and mlb guys pale in comparison to handsome hunk I will be celebrating 5 yrs with on the 15th

Moonstone thanks for that link wow I think its safe to say the Magic will get rid of Van Gundy esp if the Magic end up losing to the Celtics. Wow I never know Howard had it in him to call his coach out like that lol no more mr nice guy!

I probably would support a team if I lived in a city/town with one.

As for the teams; Well, I do not always choose teams, but when I do, I prefer DOS EQUIS

lol . . . "Stay thirsty my friends" lol those commercials are funny.

BTW, any kind soul from Houston in here? which nice joints dey this town abeg?

Houston . . . I had arguably the worst 3 days of my life in that city but I did enjoy an incredibly good tasting meal at the Sbarros at the large expensive mall (which kin super duper hat costs $975 bucks?, i forget the name now). Hope u find a good spot, I hear there're many good nigerian joints.

@drUche.God
Jesoul is not a dude and between the Cavs would not sweep the Celts

tell him dude! Celtics are capable of winning at least 2 games, at home. Pierce and Allen cannot allow a sweep, that would be embarrasing lol.

@Jesoul
From the looks of things it might be you guys ending up in the Finals of the Eastern Conference and i think y'all have a fighting chance stranger things have happened like in 05 when the favored Heat lost in seven to the Pistons despite having home-court advantage.The fact that y'all did not fall down and die despite the injuries shows a lot

Stranger things have happened oh my brotha, real talk. Nothing is guaranteed. As good & as confident as the Cavs are who knows what the next game will bring? that's why they play right?

[quote author=dr.ucheGoD link=topic=148652.msg3863340#msg3863340 date=1242235036]HEHEHE, they chose to LIVE and DIE by jumpers. You can't 3-point-shoot your way through 7 series.[/quote]Exactly. At some point they'll need to go and rent or lease an inside offensive game.

I go try lol, but what is my penance?

lol gimme a minute to think on that, I shall be back  

but Oden and Kwame Brown both still grew into solid players. SOLIDLY ROOTED ON THE BENCH

ouch!    that was a low blow brotha, low blow lol

I tend to lust after single players not whole teams But seriously, I have for so long dreamt of this dream finals, even scheduling my leave to co-incide, it better happen. It's gonna be a generational-shifting series; like Magic Vs Jordan OR Jordan Vs Kobe, now Kobe Vs Lebron. I'm torn between the two jare. It's like double-dating 2 equally, very hot women. Kobe needs to win a Shaq-less ring and Lebron has broken almost every record in the books, more than deserving of a trophy. I guess i'll just sit back and enjoy the (hopefully 7game) series

wow this is a man who does not play with his nba!      I salute you with serious kudos lol. Man without a team, it has it advantages, you root for no one you don't get disappointed    Kobe vs LeBron would be an epic finals, even I would pay to see that and barring any freak injuries it will probably happen . . . I'm sure David Stern n the refs will see to it

lol havent seen it. maybe in 10 years time

is it better than The Incredibles?

imho . . . NO!

People dissing Wall-E should do it quietly cuz if there's anyone who loves Brad Bird more than I do, it's Spikyn. And it's all I can do not to take Wall-E haters into the woods and murder them. Wall-E is a classic. Possibly as good as E.T. Get past the metal parts for pete's sake. How I wish this was a Dreamworks production.

I can't. Robots don't have emotions, that's one of the fundamental truths & principles governing the foundation of the enitre technological universe    seeing two robots romancing _{both who look entirely different by the way} just doesn't sit well somewhere inside me, it bothered me the whole movie! lol  Nice story but the 'fiction' is too out there for even this x-files enthusiast

rickyjenn makes appearances in the manu forum. he would be back when the NFL season starts.

hehe I should expect nuthin less. Along with Onyinye too

The magic deserve to lose. Why do they refuse to give the ball to dwight howard? This series would still go 7 games though.

I thot I was the only one wondering. I heard something like he took only 10 fga inexcusable. I would say the fault is squarely on Van Gundy shoulders. IMO the Magic would be a better, tougher team with a better coach at the helm.

LOLL, I heard a lot of sh*@ goes down in the said mountains of Utah but still, how can you compare the last few, dreary, drudgy, pointless games in the regular season to the intensity of the playoffs (apples and pine-apples eh?)

Ehen now. So it is settled Bynum apparently has not been ready to step up to the level needed in the playoffs, what makes us think then he woulda been able to do so last yr with even less experience?

I don't doubt he will grow into a solid player _{I doubt Oden will} but hallucinators should refrain from ascribing to him the status reserved for tried & proven players who have shown in the past their presense is series-altering.

LAKERS-CAVS FINALS BABY!!!

Come self which one be your team? You be Laker slave or Cavalier zombie? I will enjoy my fling with the Cavs during the finals, after that the stand is over and back to my men in green.

Moonstone:
LOL! I know what you mean. At this rate, Cavs are just gonna kill Boston. They are resting their butts off and they are just studying the other teams. I'm sure they are having the best times of their lives. Yeah - more games, more money.

. . . issookay, Lebron is due for his first championship anyways. I will be angry during the series but root for him the rest of the way.

(Key words is BACK), and not that he's still injured. However, he is still yet to hit his stride with the team. Everyone and their (your choice of relative), including Bynum himself acknowledges his problem is not physical but mental, so puhh-leeasse, reach further into your bag of theorems and let's have something more creative .[/quote]you're tempting me mr d-to-tha-u-to-tha-G
lol, dude you're talking in circles. Whether it be physics or philosophy he has still played badly - bottomline. He played fantastic in the 4 last reg season games, he seemed better than fine . . . guess he conveinently developed the mental problems somewhere in the mountains of Utah?

It's much,much,much more. It won many many awards,sometimes tying for Best Picture with Slumdog Millionaire. There were several attempts to get it nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. It was nominated for six oscars in total. For me, it's raised the standard for animated features.

As an aside, Andrew "all-in-my-head" Bynum (NFL ankle brace and all) did put up more points at half-time than Rajon "Lord-of-the-Rims" Rondo did in his entire game . Looks like 'whipping bwoy' and 'Lover Bwoy' are about to switch roles. But first, i'll defer to Lady Rondo for some fuzzy theories on why the above stats should be completely ignored (YAAAAAWWWWN!)

But one good game does not cover a multitude of sins shey the injury is gone abi? . . . that is until the next time he plays like a bum?
re-submit your application when the Lakers are in the finals, lets see if he's anything to write home about.

And one sin does not erase a multitude of good deeds. Rondo still be the man. We are rotating players time to shine, it was Starbury last night (finally!)

Moonstone:
Bynum was good - no doubt but that does not mean he's consistent, it was one of his good nights. Rondo is good jare. . . Stop hating on my darling's team mate. I hope Celts beat Orlando though. If that happens, I know my boys have a chance at the final. Orlando on the other hand can kill Cavs defensively.

This na correct girl for hia
Honestly I fear for the Celtics to even win the series . . . Cleveland dey fear me no be small but I bet the Celtics organization won't mind, more games = more tickets = more money.

First things first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIOGO!!!

I wish you the very best 17 of all existing 17's
I wish you everything your heart dreams
I wish you grace and strength to survive the hard times
I wish you 50% offs and jollof rice

oh okay didn't know that.

ThiefOfHearts:
Glad you loved it, dear

I remember first I first watched it and I was like this guy (the director) is soooo Tarintino ie The Story of Blackie's Room and such
I love the beginning with the chicken. Lmao so Naija
The scene with the kid, man I didnt think it would ever get that far but it did and I cant be mad at it cos well that's life in the flavas. Like he said you get the pretty Rio on postcards and on the media but keep places like Cidade de Deus in the shadows.

Benny made me teary eyed

For real. I guess many parts of the world are like that. I wonder, did the movie do much to change things there? I know all that Slumdog hoopla hasn't translated into real actions to better those peoples lives.

Yeah Benny's death was real sad. When Blacky went to tell Carrot he thought he'd killed Benny, Carrot replies "you killed the coolest hoodlum in the city" and bang shoots him dead I mean I know its a movie but the ease and frequency with which kids and people were killed was just shocking, the naive part of me would like to believe it does not happen in reality.

Anywayz, I concur with whatever Jesoul says.

hehe lol happy pre-birthday gurl! where's the party in Beantown? I can be there in a jiff.

LOL, why is the man with the 12-yr old boy tripping? Well, Big baby did the right thing by granting his son the so-called apology. Everybody wants to be popular these days, pulling 'em stunts.

and that's the simple truth. People get their drinks spilled on them, their pizza smashed on their faces when players dive into the stands for a rebound, we haven't seen any of them demanding apologies. Bigbaby should apologize sha for peace sake and becos it was a kid, he will look good if he does it.

Bynum has started just 4games and has seldom commited more than 3fouls per game (averaging 3.xx per game). Now, how close that gets you to foul trouble is anyone's guess. BTW, the real reason he's not playing is because he came back from injury a few games to the end of the season and has not gotten back into the rhythm of the team, according to his coach (who I assume is more knowledgeable than any of us on this matter).
OH? but you did allege that Bynum's stats show he would have been a non-factor in last year's finals. Two words, Not (exactly) true. That's my own (simpler) point. Kachifo [/quote]Homeboy I am not alleging, I definitely saying! 
I'm assuming you watched the games, Bynum picks up quick fouls early, Phil sits him down, puts him back in 3rd Q, dude fouls again, doesn't contribute much to either offense or defense and Phil sits him for the rest of the game.

Why again has he started just 4 games? becos he's playing horribly in the postseason. The "injury" card has been overplayed jor.
If "the real reason" he's playing so badly was the injury how come he played so well in the last 4 games he played in the regular season? _{i even told lai he would struggle and was proven wrong when he didn't} wasn't he averaging close to 20pts and 60% shooting? how come now he's playing bad it is the injury? highly suspect I tell ya, highly suspect.

[quote author=dr.ucheGoD link=topic=148652.msg3858478#msg3858478 date=1242149387]Still. You should be comparing last year's Celtics not to the Lakers but to the Cavs, with whom they actually have more in common (Regular season's best record and MVP, with about the same number of wins as well). They also swept the Hawks last regular season before meeting them in the playoffs, so what's this strawman counter-argument about the Celts struggling against athletic teams??. Rather than trying to explain away the Cavs sepctacular performance with team dynamics, i'll suggest (again) the simple fact that the Celts were much more spectacular during the regular season than they were in the playoffs (Cf. the CAVS, who are playing like true champs to me). And as for who ('08 Celts or Cavs) actually had the better match up vs the Hawks, i'll let y'all decide, [/quote]when was this point a bone of contention? 
You're making my simple slice into a loaf of bread. Bottomline: Lakers are not playing like champs, Celtics struggled last year but were never blown out by a team missing its 2 major stars and minimal contribution from its best player on the floor. Shikena.

well, everyone and their grandmas (and grandmas' live-in boyfriends) know and expect this, so

So that is all I'm saying, simple.

Oh, and those Bymum's stats you were touting as vindication for his insignificance certainly pale next to the confounding statistic you (ostensibly) omitted - he's averaging 13 mins per game. Only Farmar and Josh Powell (, who?) are averaging less time per game in the entire Lakers team. Now, those stats sure look less gawk-worthy, dont you concur?? Even Rondo, (your idol) would look less "awesome" with so much time on the bench

Lol . . . and why exactly is he averaging only 13 mins? becos he gets into foul trouble and cannot stay on the floor _{another negative that surely wasn't omitted out of mishief} not becos Phil Jackson suddenly decided he doesn't like to play him. Its a no-brainer, less minutes less stats, who's arguing that? But I don't think anyone can argue Bynum has flat out sucked this postseason. Again that's my simple point.
