Skrrrrrrr:
Haven't really been following the Olympics, but is there a reason why a Canadian team with Shai, Brooks, Barrett and L dort are unable to beat a French Team with only wemby starting?
Why isn't wiggins on the Team?

On paper yes you could mention names but in reality it's SGA plus a bunch of bums.
Barrett excluded

When I talk about Jamal Murray e go be like na agenda. If he continues on this form, the Nuggets are screwed. Imagine paying this dude the max....

A40:
Lol. You didn't see Schroeder with the Hawks? Wait. No vex oh. Are you a newbie?

He's had plenty of chances to be a first option.

Schroeder had a nice little run. Unless you're Steph or Zeke your best player being 6ft 3 and under is hardly a recipe for lasting success.

Don't underestimate how much it influences a player stats when an entire team are dedicated to setting screens for you.
With rules meant to inflate offensive stats.

etidy:


Nobody knew jalen would ascend to this level, but there were signs, he had it in him. He was good during his last season at Dallas. He also averaged something like 30 points in the playoffs when Luke was out Injured .

Yes but he needed a platform to showcase he can be a leading man- opportunity.

And he grabbed it with both hands.
The NBA is rigged, they chose their stars and also bring about rules which elevates these so called stars stats.

So who are the possible opponents for the d'tigress in the next round?

A40:
I can use same logic for Steph, Embiid, Dame

FIBA ball is different I keep telling y'all

If na by Olympics Schroeder should be an All NBA player on a max deal

Who knows if Dennis has this level of play in him in the NBA if he's made the first option/primary ball handler.

Look at Jalen Brunson, went from an average NBA player at Mavericks to a top 6 MVP NBA Star at the Knicks because he became the first option.
Luck and opportunities can play a part too not just talent

A40:
Thank God you're not GM. You would have run your teams to the ground making trades every season your team does not win the title.

Inconsistent Murray at his ceiling won you two games against a formidable opponent in the first round.

Instead of you to evaluate the full roster and acknowledge their full weaknesses you are scapegoating Murray.

Their critical Game 7 at home that they lost he scored 35 out of 90 ask what the other players scored abi they're not collecting salary?

Where have you seen bench of a home team score 5pts in a Game 7

Sometimes you have to remove sentiments in order to improve.
A good GM should know that.
You strike when you see a potential move that can improve you.
Murray yes was great and still can be clutch at times, so he has a good trade value and I'm sure there are some gullible suckers in the NBA who would want him.

The thing is the Nuggets have to come to accept that Murray might not get better than this and might even get worse as the injuries keeps piling up.
You're also right that the Nuggets needs to improve on their roster before looking at Murray.
Me I'm not a GM but as an outsider I see Canada aren't even picking Jamal in their starting five, that's a red flag bruh

greypencils:
That is what happens when they don't develop a midrange jumper. The hype of a 3 going in is louder than a regular jumper so they play to the gallery. Here in the real world, FIBA, the Olympics, there are no crowds to hype. You have to go grind out results. This is what stands KD out. He has a consistent midrange. This is where guys like Jalen Brunson, Kyrie Iverson and DeMar DeRozan would have thrived instead of Curry.

Yeah it's shocking to me at times how most of this NBA super stars are mediocre at the midrange.
Curry, even Antman though he can get to the rim and dunk unlike Curry who is half the player without the three.

Which is why I rate players like SGA, Luka, Kyrie, KD...They can score from anywhere

greypencils:
Lol. Na A40 dey hype am. Murray of 2020 is no more.

I mentioned the Nuggets should look into the possibility of trading him but it was like I had spoken a sacrilege.
I wonder how long they can manage with his Inconsistency plus the injuries

Jamal Murray in the Olympics so far:

5.7 PPG
33% FG
10% 3PT


A40 is this the nigga you called top5 in the NBA😭

Love lies bleeding

How you see the movie?
Reviews says its filled up with many lesbian sex scenes

This thread is a good confirmation that most Nigerians hate reading

Iamgrey5:
Which stupid tribalism

She is registered for two other events

They don't want to register her for three events because her strongest events are 200 hundred meters and 4 by 100.

They believe Ofili should get better opportunities to perform in the 200 meters and 4 by100 relay. Especially the bend in the relay because of her long legs.

But they should have told her before taking the decision.

It's unfair for a person to train for four years only for others to take decisions about your performance without your consent.

Respectfully you are capping rubbish.
She's ranked 23rd in the 100m and outside the top50 in the 200m and you bring up this narrative that she's not good enough for the 100m?
Do y'all read at all?

BlackManta:


It might be up to James Gunn, Matt Reeves and Todd Phillips to protect the genre from sliding further into mediocrity.

Kevin Feige is moving like a man running out on good ideas.

I know the MCU is a mess right now and they are loosing the general audience but I still believe strongly that the Avengers, as a sub franchise within the MCU, has earned a strong reputation just like GOTG and Deadpool.

The next Avengers films are guaranteed to be successful as long as they are well written and well directed.
Hence, Kevin Feige shouldn't need to rely on nostalgia bait and RDJ in the first place.

Bringing back RDJ is making me more worried than excited. Because it seems like Feige is not confident in his own ability to fix the MCU.

If he was, why would he crawl back to Russo Brothers who have never produced or directed anything good since they left MCU?

Why is Fiege crawling back to RDJ who used to be the face of this franchise and had a fantastic farewell?

It smells like desperation and creative bankruptcy.

The most disappointing thing in all this is that Dr Doom has never had a good adaptation in the movies.
Feige had an opportunity to fix that and then ruined the casting by giving it to a guy well known for playing another popular comic book character within the same franchise.

I'm hearing rumours that this Doom is going to be a Tony Stark variant or perhaps he's just regular Victor von Doom.

Either way, this is very absurd.

At the end of the day, I blame Jonathan Majors.
If he hadn't ruined his career like Ezra Miller, we wouldn't be watching this mess.

Tbh lots of people didn't care about the Kang character.
Very forgettable and boring.
It's good Marvel are moving away from that quickly

My boy SGA cooking for Canada!

naptu2:


Russia is banned, but Russian athletes will be able to compete as individual neutral athletes (athletes individual neutral [AIN] in French). This is the 4th Olympics in a row where this has been the case (if you include Winter Olympics).

Russia was initially banned for doping reasons.

This means that Russian athletes will compete as independents, Russia will not be on the medals table and the Russian National Anthem will not be played. Russian officials will also not be able to attend certain conferences, meetings and events.

So their names be shown on the medals table instead of their countries?
Or not shown at all.....hmm

Mercenary123:
Check the list up there,then you as a niger deltan should really be ashamed of yourself

You foolishly allowed yorubas to gaslight you into believing that Igbos are your enemies and are after your oil and land. The minister is just an appointee that can be removed within a blink. So many injustices in this country meeehhhhnnnnn. Goodluck Jonathan na real ediot. That man shouldn't be allowed anywhere near power again

True. Jonathan f*** up badly.
He had the chance to put things in order but he failed.

LegendHero:


You guys and thinking you are the elder brother for Niger Delta people. Do you mean to say they don't have a brain of their own.

No be same Ibo people dey antagonize Akpabio dey abuse am daily? If you love the Niger Delta people, will you be working against them retaining the third highest position in the country?

Tinubu gave them Senate president, infact the Yoruba senators are at the forefront working night and day for Akpabio to emerge. Same Tinubu gave Wike the keys to Abuja and call him landlord everytime in mutual respect. Both oil and gas ministry are in the hands of ND people. They run that ministry, shey na Tinubu dey run those everyday task of the ministry?

The oil industry is ran by the Yorubas and the North.
Dey deceive yourself.

andrewbaba44:


I mostly watched rooney at 17 well ,never said he was as good as yamal at 16 ,but he was good at 16 with some clips and stats I came across

I am just putting 16/17 as same category

You were watching Everton matches in 2003?
Maybe you saw clips but I doubt it was an extensive watch

oliverano:


You're very correct. The way he burst into the scenes, I always thought he was 16 going to 17 in 2004, just like yamal 16 going to 17 in 2024. I didn't recall he was already 18. The image of his early performance at Everton is still living in my head. But as a 16 year old, he was as good as yamal. That's the point I was trying to make.

I highly doubt you or anyone here watched him at 16 to make an informed opinion

andrewbaba44:


Rooney might not have won the euros like yamal ,but I think he was very good at 16 ,rooney was 18 at euro 2004 though

How many of you here watched Rooney at 16 let's be honest?
How do you know he was good as Yamal at 16 apart from stories told by others?

cococandy:
black pepper salami

Wow thanks. Never heard of it.
How does it taste, is it pepper ish?

cococandy:
Wasn’t in the mood to cook.

A DIY charcuterie board and homemade cocktail to the rescue. Very relaxing 😌

What's the name of the pink stuff?

greypencils:
By the way I don't know why NBA players always want their sons to play Pro basketball yet they refuse to do the basic of all basic things, get a mate who is as tall as they are. They be seeing all these WNBA players calling them masculine and shit and going for the 'pretty' 5'7s only to start cursing when their seeds are 6'3 and below. See Angel Reese being sweet, a 6'3 feet candy and no one is scooping her now. They be settling with Jada Pinkett type of girls and wishing their kids play ball, good luck to that.

Lol so Angel Reese that's active in the WNBA go carry belle😆

KingCold:
Get your facts right. It's Nigerians and Zimbos... Zambians are well-behaved, unlike these two nationalities..Shift blame all you want

You can only decieve the gullibles. You guys have a deep rooted hate for the Zambians.
At least you're not denying your hatred for Nigerians...

caye:
The quiet part we are not asking is:
- out of every ethnic group in Africa, why do South Africans hate Nigerians so much?

Can it be because:
- they don't hate Ghanaians, Namibians, Guineans, Togolese, or Ethiopians, but respect them?

- or Nigerians sometimes commit crime eg drug trafficking , prostituting innocent women and fraud?


I believe we can answer these questions.

They also hate the Zambians too.
I think Nigeria & Zambia are their most hated countries. They are a weird bunch that's for sure

Achilles100:


I'm talking about people like myself who are seeing it for the first time. You know, we just speculating.

No need to spoil it for others who haven't seen it.

Segun2222:
yes i sometimes miss and forget these details myself as there's a lot going on at too much speed

Yes...Even the Blacksmith Hugh I'm suspecting would play a vital role somewhere along the line

phr0nesis:

If you find out who did it at this point, what's the point of waiting for the final episode. I watched the 90s movie, so having that knowledge of the killer made me lose interest in the show early

Very good answer.
