Oh I definitely agree with you about Him being extremely inconsistent. I have said it many times that I don't think He can be your Number 2 Guy and I stand by that until proven otherwise. However He, He has really stepped up big time this postseason. Go through His run of games this post season and you'd see that He has been absolutely immense. I have to give credit to whom it's due.

The Less said about Bud the better. I don leave hin matter to amadioha.

No doubt he stepped up in games this season, but he's supposed to be the closer and ball out on a day like this when Giannis is doing it all.

With the way the sun's played it should have been a wrap from the second quarter but Giannis brought them back in the third all they had to do was suppress their demons and go all out but na that day him decide to go cold.

Same person perkins was calling the best player on the team? Americans and Britons can be very deluded when making a case for their own.
I just dey so livid honestly, they don't know when next they'll be in the finals, no be this kind day him suppose go cold. I pray they get it right at home. But moving forward the bucks cannot rely on this guy to be the No 2 option.

See coach bud playing Portis only for 5 minutes, the guys a moving bucket too, see I just tire.

"Chris Middleton is the batman of this Bucks Team. Giannis is the robin" - Kendrick perkins.

I fuvking hate that fat bastard lol

who dey take that mumu serious,, All those guys at ESPN are stupid, from the football analysts spiraling down to other sports. Them dey always talk their nonsense for clout and engagements.

chic2pimp:
I know y'all are shitting on Khris currently and understandably so but don't right Him off yet. He is down for atleast two 30+ games in a series so it's down to the others minus Giannis to capitalise on it when He does go off.

No one is writing him off, all we saying is he's too inconsistent. In shut the other supporting casts are way too inconsistent, they now have a clueless coach again that's one dimensional. I still believe the bucks win this championship but they gotta step up.

steady986:
Jrue Holiday is such an unreliable player offensively. Add to that the inconsistency of Middleton. This is the supporting cast people expect Giannis to win a championship with?

Just see Middleton!!!! Shea them they flex against the hawks, now see a better team with good coaching him don disappear. this is the same team some clowns say play better without giannis? I laugh in swahili. Without giannis this team is not different from the current pelicans, hornets and low levelled teams etc.

This USA roster is stacked mehn..... Cheat code KD is now there mk dem just give dem the gold down

chic2pimp:
Kl.....Heard you talk about the British trials and I assumed that you were in the UK since it's only us British folks that care about our trials

i dey follow sports gaan, asides that some distant family& friends dey compete too so.......... but it was worth the watch sha even though una no too impress me.

nairamaniac:
I don't understand o.

It's like this chris paul has been pretending not to be this good for past 10years.

Such unforgivable deciept!

They call him the point god for a reason, but still Bucks in 6.

chic2pimp:
They are but Chris Paul won't allow that.


Did you not even know you are in the UK. Thought you were in Naij.

Omo na naij i dey oo

I remember when we were a force to reckon with in track, boxing, shot put, name it. Even if we no medal we go dey final. The world has shrunk, and a lot of talented but frustrated athletes have found their way out of Nigeria for better pay. You will see one lone black dude on a squad somewhere in some unpronoucable country in Asia, and be wondering. Na condition

Guy it's appalling to say the least, but I'm totally hyped and happy for any athlete that decides to take his/her talent to another country, omo i watch british trials the other day most of their competitors are Nigerians without mincing words most of them grew up there but it just shows how naturally gifted we are, see Bahrain too and so many other countries Nigerians are their hope for medals. It's really sad honestly

chic2pimp:
Nahhhh Man Chris Paul is cooking. My Guy wants that ring real bad.

The bucks are getting back in the game.

Hey @Joshboo and Chic2pimp

What are 9ja’s chances of medaling at the Olympics track events? Any knowledge about field events? Shotput, weightlifting? I reckon we qualified for the men’s basketball and are in Group B, I will be following that closely. How good is that team?

TBH no hope in any category,or better still slight iota of hope. Our best chance of any medals at all is okagbare, albeit her best chance is either silver or Bronze, the men are an utter disgrace. We no even meet the qualifying time for the 4×100m imagine!!! Omo politics has killed every facet of sports in this country from football which used to be our rallying point to other sporting categories.
Our Bball team has good prospects but for starters most of the naija guys called up playing in tge NBA hardly get game time between, most of the guys are first time invitees they don't have so much time to build up that chemistry amongst them, our group is actually an open one, any of the teams fit qualify. For the women bball NO HOPE, our group na straight up killing, we can't beat the usa and france... japan wey we fit try beat come be host nation, you know most of the calls would be in their favor. We have other categories like table tennis where we used to be pretty decent but we've dropped so bad over the years, inadequate funding and lack of proper preparation is one of our biggest undoings, it's really sad honestly. We have 5 wrestlers going sha, don't know about their prowess but i feel sey na excursion most of them dey go do for there, the skill set is way below par as compared to most countries who have been preparing adequately for the Olympics.

Android17:
Yea, The Kobe picture would have worked but Kobe was not doing it big when Tatum came into the league. Kobe had retired by then. The KD picture would have worked because KD is still doing it big now but Tatum was much older than he was in the Lebron picture. The summary is, the guy is bragging about Lebron's longevity. I am not speaking in defense of Lebron, just providing a perspective.

Wagbayiii.. you broke it down perfectly even though father time is finally catching up with him, he's been doinh it for years since the best player at the moment in the celtic organisation was a lil-baby, its all bants sha but all love too at the end of the day.

Roland17:
Alaye, I figured.. So was Kobe before he retired when Tatum entered and KD now.

I go komot ya teeth now now

Roland17........ See you much loved lebum being doing it for years and still counting.

benji93:
Are you sure you understand yourself? Cos if the Bucks are a good team without Giannis, it simply means Trae young is more important to Atlanta than Giannis is to the bucks.

.

benji93:
It looks like Trae young was a more important player for ATL in this series than Giannis was for the Bucks. But assuming they could have done better without him against the Nets could be an exaggeration. The suitability of personnel could vary from one series to another. On the issue of allowing college players to benefit from likeness blablabla. An expectation of a good NBA contract is a powerful motivator, especially for teenagers, letting them have a lot of money early on could hurt that motivation. On the other hand, most of these players come from poor homes. They could certainly use some money to stay away from crime and negative atmospheres as much as possible. Perhaps regulating how much they get could be fine.

It's not about Trae being more important to the Hawks, The bucks are way much a better team even without giannis as compared to the Hawks, Team had the best record in the NBA last year but messed up post season. They got the right pieces to complement the star players and added more scoring on the bench with PJ, Bobby and Forbes. For starters even hawks fans know they pushed above their weight and far beyond expectations, Na 76ers stupid with Simmons being a fool.

nelsonebby:
Nets would have finished this bucks team in 4 without Giannis. Middleton & drue are way too inconsistent.

you dey mind am, people go just siddown dey cap Bullshit. Shea the franchise no see middleton before making Giannis their franchise player? Person wey dey inconsistent like the weather, jrue plays 2 good games, three Bad games, very inconsistent too. I pray they all step up this way when b he returns to the line up and support him properly.

humberjade:
You mean a league that makes me remember my secondary days when inter school football match venues were more or less theater of war?

A league where matches are foolishly fixed?
A league where away teams play with fear, as such not wanting to outsmart the home team because of the repercussions?
A league on a downward slope where the teams rarely make it to 2nd round of continental competitions?
A league whose referees rarely get a chance during FIFA competition..because of easy buyout?

Yes I use to watch the league (live at different stadia o)...until I began to have better things to do with my life than watch that scrappy league.

as in,

Raymondfayowole:
First, Rohr was not even aware of the friendly from start. How do you setup a friendly without the coach being aware.

Secondly, the match is inconsequential. It does not add or subtract to our ranking.

Rohr will never be in charge of the development of local league players. You will never see southgate teying to develop England local players. He willnonly choose those who he feels are the best. If he says there are no good players in the league, that's his opinion. NFF are trying to mandate him to develop the local based and also choose them. That's not his job. His job is to choose.

Our best players are not in the league.

Blessing fall on you.

cocococo:
I just think sha that this is a setup against Rohr. It’s like they want to sack him! So they are making home use the local players, & then, they will say he isn’t good! And then sack him.

Mk dem sack am na, like he's gonna loose anything. Rohr is not our problem abeg, they should stop shifting goalpost and looking for who to blame.

With the while insecurity in the country, you expect the man to come and live here?

The local league is still very dysfunctional, na Rohr go fix am? See what happened to kano pillars on their home ground, not to talk of eyimba players been beaten to a pulp by local fans in this age and time but na Rohr be our problem? CHAN we no fit win, African champions league we hardly qualify again, But na Rohr still be our problem, mtewwww

lexy2014:
U didn't answer d question I asked:

Is it because they didn't qualify for CHAN that they aren't good enough? When Germany dropped out of d last WC as defending champions in d group stage, where d players good enough or not good enough? Was it d same set of players that were in d WC winning squad that executed d past WC for Germany?

Your point exactly??

Roland17:
@chic2pimp and Joshoooo

E ma gba mi ke! My girl S. Richardson smoke Igbo so dem don disqualify her for one month and that means she will miss the100M!

I am in sefia pains..

Our only hope! Lord why!!!!!

Who am I to blame her though? She lost her dad and was finding ways to deal with the grief. Sometimes, somethings are bigger than you and others. I hope she finds peace and comfort with this loss. Grief no easy! You can’t tell when the loss hits you..

Omo then just one deny us one of the most anticipated Races of all time cos of nonsense, if anything it, igbo diminishes your performance. But the rules are the rules, honestly I'm gutted..... I just pray make dem find swift resolution to the whole ish, she lost her mum for facks sake and was dealing with so much. But like chic2pimp talk thank God sey na only Igbo and hot some PEd's in its actual sense. I really hope there is a soft landing for her if the whatever rules or governing body reviews based on the lesser crime she committed and give the fans what they've waited for all season.

Android17:
Is anybody going to say it or should we pretend that it was not obvious? The Bucks seem to be a better playoff team without Giannis. There, I said it.

I was expecting to see this kinda Cap, and voila..... make una dey deceive una selves. No be only better team, na better organization.

The Bucks were never getting here without Giannis. So keep your hating opinions to yourself

Khanben:
Why does Bud or whatever his name is not run some of the sets he ran for Lopez today when Giannis is playing and on the bench. The coach has village people syndrome abeg

The problem with any other player not named giannis on the bucks is consistency, they run such plays for him asides today, but you know with giannis out it's a different ball game entirely. Brook was actually becoming a big problem for them early season, glad he's finding his MOJO back at the right time.

Roland17:
Ope oh! I know she finished 5th in the 200m trials..

Omo. Anybody wey no love Allyson Felix and Shelly Ann dey Abnormal to me honestly. Felix na Enigma bro.

Roland17:
Ahhhh Baba! I dey follow athletics very closely especially as the Olympics is here. Hopefully, I don't get banned for this. Ndi Uta full here!

Erriyon Knight just broke the 200M record, Noah Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson (speed demon), Gabby Thomas, Sydney McLaughlin (400M). E pain me say Allyson Felix will not make it to the Olympics as she failed to qualify. She is one of my favorite all time..I expect to see the Jamaican contingent of Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Shelly has fallen off since the birth of her son.

omo you've not really been following but you do well. Shelly Ann is the only threat to shecarri currently, she just made the second fastest time in history like 2/3weeks back, she's on the form of her life at the moment.... See her taking gold in the 100 and a close second in the 200. Omo na women dey carry athletics now ooo cos the competition there maaaad gaan. Imagine Jamaicans running sub 19 in their 200 while Knighton dey break records, if no be the Jamaican ladies In the short distances Yankee for sweep them like cobwebs

@Seniorwriter

Didn't hear from you again??

Roland17:
Boss, I agree with you about the Suns, Infact Monty has been my favorite coach in this playoffs but the problem is this.. No team is going to get a fair officiating chance against the Bucks… It’s obvious and that simple and that is already a disadvantage.

To beat the Bucks you need to be up or tied at the final 2-3 minutes of the 4th Q and this is because they are a very good defensive team capable of closing out games.

Omo you dey see the John collins wey dey find max deal abi

Trae does a terrible job at making his team mates better. All he does is shoot and play ZERO defense.

Khanben:
The Bucks won even with a bad night shooting from Jrue, is a statement win. If Trae's ankle is not 100%, by Tuesday then this series will be a gentleman sweep by the Bucks

Off night for jrue just checked, he dropped 6points, 12assists, 4 rebounds

Roland17:
This is the Bucks title / championship to lose.

Bless up my gee. Between you dey follow Athletics at all? Omo some new kids dey on the block now wey dey vex for the 200m especially
