They didn't even give LeBron a pass when he injured his groin in 2018. So we won't rest today.

no mind them....... Imagine one hater saying LeBron is not the most important piece on this Lakers team, Deluded cowards . Without LeBron this lakers team even if AD is 1000% fit stands no chance.

. They'll blame harden, LeBron, Kyrie, Giannis and every other except Curry, Deluded Fanboys.

100% SCAM

Yesterday/midnight games won

GIANNIS.... MVP

Guy, most of your debates are laced with insults. Pipe down and learn to engage in robust argument without personal attacks.

Na why i no bother respond to the young chap.... says a whole lot about him honestly, i no blame am though...

Suns went 7-0 in the bubble last season, without CP3. Ayton was ban for 25 games last season which affected their form, when he got back they picked form - without CP3. Everyone with a working brain knew that they were a team on the up plus they have a good coach in Monty. Do you know Doc wanted CP3 in Philly but he preferred Suns? GSW were by far the worst team in the NBA last season without Curry. The offense is number 5 in the league when he is on and dead last with him off. I don't know how else to define impact. If a player had 2 assists does it mean he only made 2 passes? Could it not mean that 10 other passes he gave went to bums who missed the shot? I told you already, foolish post of the year nominee and it is leading the way.

Ogbeni stop this cap.. The only reason why the suns are balling this season is cos of cp3, they'll have still been a mediocre team at best, he's brought that toughness, leadership n winning mentality to the team, So becos they went on a 7-0 run that meant they'll ball with how most teams got strengthend? Make it make sense na haba. The argument for cp3 being a better floor general is actually the truth, Steph is obviously the better scorer, between many greats see him as more of an SG. As for those slamming him about his time with the clips that team was one of the most unlucky teams in NBA history asides in 2014 in which the organization had internal issues with the racist comments from one of their top officials they always had one key injury or the other which obviously affected them badly. If cp3 had teamed up with kobe then obviously we won't be having this convo about his rings too. But we all know how special he was that the NBA had to twart that deal ever coming through.

" A point guard, like other player positions in basketball, specializes in certain skills. Their primary job is to facilitate scoring opportunities for their team, or sometimes for themselves. Lee Rose has described a point guard as a coach on the floor, who can handle and distribute the ball to teammates"
This is the primary jab of a PG. Steph changed the game in terms of being an "effective" volume shooter but abeg in terms of facilitating he dosent come close to Cp3. How many players not named LeBron James currently could have done what he did with okc last season?

The suns just clinched their first playoff spot since 2010 and some people still dey mis cap... Nawa

GIANNIS.......

SmooshCHN:
Omo, Steph giving me unanimous MVP vibes.

Jokic should be the mvp. He's doing a tad of everything. Assists, scoring, rebounds, blocks n game winners, between he's hardly missed any games this seaaon n he's been consistently dropping Good numbers and doing a bit of everything.

Todays games

Midnight basketball games and todays games.... Check

aliondo:
Lamarcus Aldridge .

A good player in his heydays tho especially at Portland...Wish you all the best in your future endeavors...

Really sad honestly, one of my favourite players in recent years.

Yesterday's games.

steady986:
The health of the Lakers might be an issue, even though I think KD, Kyrie and Harden are just too much firepower for anyone. I fear that AD's achilles is something like what KD was suffered in 2019 and so I don't think he'll be 100% in the playoffs. I've already given this championship to Brooklyn.

Lmao.. Brooklyn may not come out of the east..

steady986:
This man no just get shame

Person wey no get sense, So happy for drummond honestly.... he cooked lamarcus All night. Dude plays it old school. Lakers team is deeper than people imagine, adding macklemore that's a straight up shooter ticks all the boxes. Come playoffs i still see this nets team having issues. Who'll be the closer, who'll take the last shot when the game's on the line? Twud most likely be between kd n kyrie cos harden na choker no be today, Lets see though. But if the Lakers are ay full strength omo i don't see any team stopping them.

Roland17:
You have got to absolutely respect the Lakers for coming out to compete despite being depleted by injuries. A. Drummond is going to be huge for this roster when LBJ and AD return. They are still the favorites to win the West in my book when AD and LBJ return.

They winning it all. Lakers in 5

DeeMain:
Coveniently, you guys are selectively forgetting that the current wave of superteaming and ring chasing mindset was triggered after a 73-9 GS Warriors, with the then current MVP and 3 All Stars, acquired Kevin Durant, the greatest scorer in NBA history and made themselves unplayable, blotting out any iota of competition in the NBA for 3 seasons and 2 rings until injury scuppered that unfair dominance.

Same KD then, sam ;De KD now, but no we must conveniently forget that GS happened and start the remembering from the morning Lebron tried to recruit Kawhi.

Lebron is not entirely innocent in this melee but guys some balance is good for the health.

Oga stop the cap how's KD the greatest scorer ever?

Afromentalist:
Michael Rapaport just leaked private convos with KD. They insulted each other and KD seemed to have threaten him, the hood way.

That journalist is a cry baby though

Durant too should learn to keep quiet. Must you reply every every?

KD's always got security and complex issues. Mk him go sleep abeg. Dude feels he's the best player ever and wants respect for that. Nonsense

birdman:
Rondo is done imo. Even last year he had to will himself every time he shot the ball. I feel like this is a bad move for the clips.

I am happy for Oladipo to get a chance to make some noise in the playoffs. The guy has a lot of doubters in the league and I hope he disappoints them. I just like how the guy composes himself. Even when he was in the sinking ship of the rockets, he was a class act.

The Nuggets getting Gordon is the only eye popping thing I see so far. The west was already going to be a blood bath come playoffs. Now it will be a vicious blood bath

Actually I have been eyeing Aldridge and Drummond to see where they end up. I would like Lakers to pick up Drummond, I think they need him badly. My fantasy team needs him badly . I dont know what Aldridge has left in the tank, but Im sure theres a team out there that will need him.

My guy Rondo is not done, players like rondo don't come easy. He's playoffs certified that's why the clips went for him. Rondo would always show up. Lovely move by the clips imo..

Honestly I wish the bucks went all out for oladipo since they didn't get bogdanovic but he's perfect for Miami
Rooting for those guys to make a big noise this year again, the organization's Class and have a very good coach.

For Aldridge I honestly don't blame him. At his age he's all about getting a ring and dudes still a baller.. But the Nba'S gotta put a stop to this madness, it's absolutely ridiculous the fire power the Nets have, it's make or bust season for them though.

The Lakers have to go all out for drummond or they forget about a chip this year. They need his rebounding on defence. Gasol is now Mega trash, Dude should just go to China or go back to Spain.

I don't blame the players though cos most of this organizations treat the players like trash. There's no loyalty anymore from both sides.

Hello guys, what a sigh of relief. Thanks to nairalanders for your advice. For those who haven't been following this is the previous thread link

https://www.nairaland.com/6460802/girlfriend-just-scammed-me

So after what happened yesterday I couldn't sleep, I hardly blinked throughout the night I was looking for all the possible means to get back to this girl and get my money refunded.

The mistake I made earlier was calling her her freinds to ask wether she was with them. Apparently she was with one of those girls but she lied. Early this morning I went to the police station bribed two officers (10k each) and told them I would be needing thier services for some few hours.

I don't care if I spend more sef. I started checking all her freinds house. Started from her best freinds place I caught up with her after about 6 places.

She has spent out of the money she has 54k left with her I took it and I took her phone as well(11 pro max). I don't care what happens if she refunds my money she can come for her phone.

She couldn't say anything, neither could she beg. I figured out it will take a long process going the legal way and she might have spent the money before all the evidence I put up against her will be ready.

Thanks to everyone who contributed I know have her phone and half of the money if she dosent show up within a week I will be selling that phone I swear. And luckily for me all the evidence is there on her phone. She has been mocking me and telling some of her freinds how she stole my ATM card. Victory at last.!!!

Happy to be the 1000th person to like. E restrict the oshere airflow

Megan's sister warned about her years ago. No one listened to her. I was just waiting for this to happen. Megan is no saint. She's very manipulative. Her sister is no saint either. I won't advice a man to get involved with a messed up family like that, let alone a prince.

Exactly she's very manipulative. Royal family's got problems but Megan's far worse.... Eee go still clear for this prince harry eye.

Roland17:
B. Griffin has agreed to join the Nets after him and the Pistons mutually agreed to terminate his contract.
#itsallaboutthering

The Nets defence about to get worse.

birdman:
I suspect he secretly feels he is not a superstar and not deserving of an all-star. Because this self-sabotage is going to look really foolish when his career is done.

Which kind yarns be this, nothing is being taken away from Jimmys legacy, Even though they lost what he did last season is enough to put him in The leagues Elite. But how you sef reason am, the reverse on what you wrote is supposed to be the case if anything about him not joining up. He improved every team he's been on since he left the bulls. Timberwolves made the playoffs with him, see howfar the Sixers went with him save kahwis brillance, see what he did with the heat last season. Only few players can have such impact on teams over all performances, lbj, cp3 kahwi etc so abeg him not joining up cos he was loyal to bam dosent make him inferior in any way abeg. James harden the choker can do what Butler did last season let's be honest, between the guys been injury prone in recent times him use this opportunity rest very well.

Giannis 35 points 16 of 16.....

Roland17:
Lillard and Curry competing for the farthest 3 point made! They are on the same team if you are wondering..
These guys listen to chatter for sure!!!

DAME DOLLA

Android17:
Let me be sure I understand you. Are you comparing AD to Gobert, Murray, Middleton, Simmons, Porzingis in terms of greatness? If Lebron is this far and away MVP of the league should the LAL be completely out of winning a chip without their 2nd best player? Bear in mind that every pundit bar none maintained at the beginning of the season that the LAL had the best roster in basketball. So bringing in the 2nd best players in those teams that were never in the running to win any ring is a disingenuous argument. It is like asking what the Warriors will win should Draymond get hurt. Well, even with him being fit, this roster is not going to win anything. But a so-called MVP candidate who plays for a team many were certain will repeat should not be immediately written off without their next best player. Otherwise, it means the next best player is actually the most valuable player on that roster. Simple.

Oga you understand English now where up there did I talk about those players being greater than AD. It's simple logic no star can win on his own how's that so hard to understand?
Ad was on the pelicans roster with Rondo n cousins why didn't he win cos una go dey spew smelling yarns. Teaming up with Lbj got him a chip so wats your point exactly? Even the goat was 1-9 without pippen does that make pippen better than him?

GIANNIS BACK TO MVP FORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Android17:
I heard one "analyst" this morning say that Lebron has dropped from being way beyond the pack to being around the pack but that he is still number one. I laughed. These are the people who plan to vote in May. Everyone can clearly see that they are not a championship winning team without AD.

Can any team win the championship without their best players abi which kind analyses be This?
With KD out the Raptors had momentum to take the warriors down.
Kan kahwi win without PG?
Luka couldnt conquer Clippers without Porzingis
Can Jokic go far without Jamal murray?
Can embiid go far without Ben simmons?
Giannis can't do shit without Kris Middleton
Bam was carrying the heat alone they were trashed so much, but with Jimmy back they gaining steam back
The Nets are not winning shit without the 3stars fit.
Gobert is nothing without Donovan and vice versa.
So dead this stupid narrative no player is good enough to win without an amiable support cast.
Even with AD i don't really see the Lakers winning a chip this year cos Gasol is mega trash ,i don't see Harrell giving them the defensive protection n rebounding Howard n javalee gave them last season.

Roland17:
I definitely understand the direction of your argument, however, for the sake of context, in comparison to those u listed, LaMelo was born, raised and learned how to play basketball in the US.. the only difference is that he did not play college basketball and chose to play professional basketball rather than go through college.
LaMelo is a traditional PG and that is unique in today’s NBA. He is definitely the most talented and the one with a better career projection when compared to his siblings.
I am not sure I am with you about brute force and today’s NBA players. If anything, I think they are the opposite of power. Today’s NBA players are more athletic with pace, they, however lack the fundamentals of the game which their international counterparts have.

Correct. To counter the guy Giannis uses brute force more than most players in the Today, they play with more finese now, Even big men hardly dunk like back in the days. How would they ecen play with brute force when the league is so soft?
& oga saajus Doncic,Jokic and a few select europeans r good but they definitely Elevating their games playing in America. Playing with better teammates and better opponents.

Hustle2flex:
Red hot Jazz to drop some heat on Miami tonight..
Nets still getting scarier with each game.
It's obvious that clippers wouldn't know where this season NBA finals will be played.

The impact of joe harris on that net team is sooooo underrated, come playoffs sha we'll see how serious they are, Mk God bless them mk them jam Raptors for first round
