₦airaland Forum

kris:
I just registered naijabball.com

You guys should give me ideas for categories for the forum.

This is lovely. But don't you think opening another platform for now will weaken this forum? Or unless we keep our conversation active on both.

Although what you have done is really awesome because this here is a faceless forum. Is the new forum running now? Can we start registering?

kris:
Do you think it will be helpful to have a dedicated forum that’s all about Naija BBall?

Yes it is and it's very possible. This thread right here is like a baby in our hands, if we all keep the thread going, believe me it will keep growing. There is the possible to have new members daily because as we keep posting, the thread stays active on the sport section of Nairaland. If we can keep positive and keep the conversations active, we can Bebe one happy basketball family. The NBA section is like that too, very active and we have dedicated members there. We can push for the thread to hit front page regularly too. People will keep trooping in and the thread will be big.

@Naymer, Biko no vex for Nigeria again, these boys will make you proud. Please just give these boys a chance and they won't fail you. Trust the process

thekoko007:
thanks so much Brody,just thinking we all can as well add some value to the team by having a very strong fan base for the team,make it official by writing the nbbf ,have a very strong connect with the lads and there career and If possible be there official supporters club and we can also go for the matches to cheer the up...just my own thinking..if there is anything you can add to this...you are free to do that...

You are right, it would be a nice thing to do. But first we have to keep this forum active, get updates and also bring in latest happenings in our own local league. We can keep this thread active, I know about 6 consistent members here, tho I am new here. If we can keep the thread alive, everything to u have mentioned is very possible.

thekoko007:
At last they made it,welldone guys..you really made us proud...and to everybody on this thread, a big congrats..you did brilliantly well...love you guys...but have something to discuss here if anybody on here will be interested

What do you want to discuss?

I'm not watching today's game but I expect our boys to come blazing in second half...

PDPGuy:
Not quite. If we beat China, we get to play one of the other group winners in the next classification round

We will be the only African team to move to that stage..

Injera:
Let's say Tunisia and Nigeria have the same wins how will they be ranked

Points difference I suppose. And we lead massively from that aspect.. I'm happy we will play the host, all attention will be on us. A nice way to end the tournament on a high note

We will be Massive at the Olympics..

Just to ask... Can Oladipo still play for Nigeria?

This Nigerian team is good. That first game was our only mistake, I feel for them. They will beat most of the teams that qualified. IF Only!!

Russia leading Poland just goes to show how tough our group was. Any other group, we would qualify.

83 - 66, game over. We win

Angola losing to Iran, should be good news to us. But Tunisia should be our worry I suppose.

77 - 64 we lead

M7even:
72-57
Still on, I believe this is a wrap. About 5 minutes left

It is o

Poor refereeing...
Uzoh back in... Make he better use him head o

PDPGuy:
The defense greatly improved in that quarter, forcing the Ivorians to make more difficult 2-point attempts.

I don't know how they did it, but the defense has been MASSIVE through this second half..

69 - 53 we lead

Michael Beastly, getting into his groove +1

Josh Okogie has been shooting poorly, but he's been massive with his assists and hustle, same with Michael Eric (coach got him cold, he sat too long on the bench)... Nicely done boys

End of 3rd quarter... 63 to 46.. We lead

Better defense, winning both defensive and offensive rebounds, making easy baskets and spacing the floor. This is more like it from the Tigers.

Boys playing with real Naija spirit. Hustling for the ball better.. 62 - 46 we lead

I don't like this Uzoh guy. He is always trying to do what is almost impossible. Play it simple..

Nnamdi with the Euro step there.. 53 - 43 we lead..

The spacing is better this 3rd quarter. We're playing better D and up 8, tho we are shooting poorly. 46 - 38 we lead

Our problem is our Coach with his awful selection and changes

Michael Beastly Eric, continues from where he left off last time.

If scouts came from the NBA teams, they deffo would have seen a lot of players that impressed. NBA level players full this World Cup. The way these guys dey make 3s ehn, and contested ones o. Even Marc Gasol made a clutch 3, na wa o

Team USA played poorly. Japan were out already and did not even try to play until later in the game. The US team shot poorly, I suppose they were also relaxing and not going all out (otherwise, I was not too impressed). If team USA played like we know they can play, the score would have gotten to over 120. Good game tho, but the Greece - NZ game was intense..

Birdman, any update on our Fantasy league

Follow Recipe, they said they are thinking out of the box. They should think for biggie na. That Venita that contributed to her team's loss is even talking. She has badluck written all over her, good thing she is going home. She didn't even dress well for the cooking... Assistant Mercy she is

XML33:
This Mercy is a really bitter human being.

She showed part of her bitterness when she gave Frodd's team 0 in the last Dano challenge.

See how she is bad-mouting the winning team's food. She is saying their food was dry and terrible and she has been trying to wash off the taste from her mouth.

It's okay to feel cheated, but saying stuff like this is very low for her.

As in ehn!!!
I used to hate Tacha and like Mercy. I have taken my time to watch neutrally and I must say that Mercy is a bitter person, a very bitter person and a pretender. She might go on to win the show, but she is a bitter and jealous personality. I feel sorry for Ike because he is just entering a pit because of yansh. Yes Mercy is rich, she is beautiful but she is bitter. Tacha is a saint where Mercy is, I believe we have not seen anything yet about this Mercy, more will unfold.

Venita, Mike, Elo... They should please complain to the hearing of Tacha, Frood and Shola na... Cowards

somehow:
Yea we will dispatch CIV and China easily.

I don't want Venezuela
There are also good at 3pts which we find difficult to defend.

See how they are doing China.

BTW, we have good 3 pts shooters too but the selection from the coach is a big issue.

True this.

The Serbia - Italy game is very hot..

I don't see any clear favorites for the tournament yet but Team USA has an edge from what I've seen so far

KNIGHTBlaed:
Please not China.. They are the host and would be difficult to beat

I take back this statement. This Chinese team is poo , we'll feast on them

Neimar:
They want to go to the Olympics to do what?

Oga take it easy Na.. Wetin we do you Na? Or you're Ghanaian?

TheSuperNerd:
Looks like the info mix up has been fixed... like you said, we are yet to punch that ticket for sure.



From @queenjohn4 (Queen Moseph, BBall reporter)

"A little clarification. D'Tigers have classification games 17th-32nd to rank teams. We are ahead of Tunisia looking at our points diff.

We play Ivory Coast and either Venezuela/China next.

The highest ranked of African team picks the automatic slot"
