Mehn, you have to feel for this Pacers team. OT on back to back nights . They lost the last 2 games which they could have easily won at the last seconds. I hope they win this one.

From Klay with love

Starting the season with this much injuries has really hampered what the Lakers are trying to become. Nunn, Ellington, Ariza and THT were supposed to be key parts of that rotation. These guys bring shooting, defense and grit. Instead we're playing Bradley who we just signed 4 days ago. We're playing Rondo who's meant to be a deep end guy this year. We're playing a rookie who's supposed to be watching and learning. There's just not enough defense and floor spacing with these guys, even though we shot 44% from 3 tonight. That tells you there's shooting but not enough personnel to do it at a high clip.

No panic though. We played two very good teams. I'd be more worried if I got blown out the park like Boston or the Bucks or if I lost to the Hornets. Our next couple of fixtures is exactly what we need at this point – mediocre teams. Make we see as e go be.

The question is: Will the excuses ever stop?
These much excuses for injured role players fa. Chai
Your supposed big 3 dey fit o, yet see as you load the excuse dey give us. Wetin you come want make Chef talk na?
Instead make you talk say una don Bleep up. Sheybe we don already know say una Bleep up. Which one con be say you go worry if you get blown out? Una own blowout dey come, same way wipe out dey come for that team and your very important rotation players
Baba shit happens, make una calm down abeg, your guys don begin fight each other ontop court, I just say the comedy go continue, cos e dey sweet us

Khanben:


Baba, lets rum a little experiment with two teams of different competive spectrums. The Bucks and Celtics. Out of Middleton, Jrue, J Brown, and CJ what rank will you give CJ.
For me he is last, which means if he were in any of their teams, he will be the 4th best player on the Bucks (and 5th most important), the 3rd best player on the Celtics. The dude is highly inconsistent offensively and offers next to nothing defensively so that are we talking about

From this list, I will pick CJ at least 2nd if not first. Haba now...
CJ and Dame complement each other, just like Curry and Klay. Take CJ out of that Portland team and replace with Middleton or Jrue or Brown... You see any improvements?
Giannis/CJ/Jrue... Same result
No underrate the man abeg

What I am seeing is that you are the one disrespecting Dame. You gloss over his achievements. Imagine saying “ Apart from the Western Conference finals”.

But then you focus on his mistakes while glossing over Kyrie’s. Kyrie has not had any winning without Lebron in this league despite playing in the weaker conference all his life.

Weak teams line the Raptors, 76ers, dysfunctional Pistons, and unserious Nets were keeping him bottom of the conference pre-Lebron.

Dame has a higher scoring average, higher rebounds average, higher assist average. Dame is a better leader.

Dame has gotten to a conference finals as the best player in a team. Something Kyrie can only ever dream of. I feel confident in saying probably something Kyrie would never do.

You can make an argument for Kyrie (which I will disagree with) but not this outrage you are trying to propagate. This is not Dominique not making the Top 50 list.

No one is disrespecting Dame. His name don dey the list, we no fit remove am. We are only saying that if he deserves to be on the list, then Kyrie also deserves to be on that list.
What has Dame done to be on that list? I still see nothing from all the write ups here.
What has AD done to be on the list when Dwight is not there? AD won a ring with Bron....... So has Kyrie, simple..

It is what it is, but we just dey talk am as e be. I'll put Klay on that list over Dame

Roland17:


L. Aldridge, he played 3 good seasons with Aldridge, Aldridge was still hot before he left for San Antonio!

Are we going to pretend CJ Mc Collum is not a star in this league? Are we going to debate he is not a 1/2 punch? Or is it because he doesn't have an All Star appearance?

Should I list the depth of his roster since he got in the league? I mean players who were in their prime in their respective positions!

Now, PLEASE SHOW ME THE STARS THAT KYRIE PLAYED WITH FROM 2011-2014.

I am waiting!

The disrespect on CJ mehn.
Dame got injured at some point last season and CJ carried that team until his return.

The only argument you can make against Kyrie when compared to Dame is durability. I wanted to steer clear of his achievements because I thought it was a given. If you must know, Kyrie was drafted to a bad Cavs team which nobody expected him to elevate beyond what he did. There is a reason Lebron made them reshuffle the team and trade their top draft pick upon his arrival. You might call him the second wheeler but the Cavs don't win their 2016 ring without him. Heck, all the hype Lebron gets for the 2016 title but people forget that he stat padded for the first 2 games (continued to play even when those games were blowouts) and their games 3,5,6,7 wins are impossible without Kyrie. Kyrie even kept them in the game 7 until James came alive in the 3rd Quat (they scored the same points in games 5 and 7). And he hit the shot that sealed the win for them. That is more than anything Dame has done. You can argue that Dame took his Blazers to the WCFs but that roster was better than what Kyrie had at the Cavs before Bron and if he was fit against the Cavs in the ECFs where the Celts went 2-0 up and lost 4-3 to the Cavs, it will be hard to say he would have not made an impact. Nevertheless, Dame was swept by AD and the Pelicans in what should have been a surefire win for the Blazers. Dame got swept by a KD-less warriors team having led most of those games by double digits. Dame got wrecked by a Murray-less Denver last season as well. What we typically see as signature to Dame is folding when the pressure is on - the Olympics for e.g. Kyrie on the otherhand rose to the biggest of occasions.

The Olympic games really exposed Dame. They just had to play him every now and then just because he's Dame (make e no be like say he no participate), the guy had no impact on that team.

etidy:


Simmons has more upside than draymond.
In a team with a good coach like steve kerr and no center to clog the lane and multiple shooters, simmons will eat.

\

Be like you dey underrate Draymond too much. Why do you think no team is willing to trade for Simmons? Simmons is not in anyway an upgrade for Warriors. Draymond is the Warriors engine room, every team will do anything to have him. Draymond and Klay are so underrated especially their defense.

etidy:


The warriors are just wasting curry's prime for one useless future build.
Trade draymond and one or 2 of those pick for ben simmons.

Shey na upgrade be that or downgrade?
Klay comes back and this Warriors team gets to conference finals.

steady986:


You no even talk Tony Parker, na Kyrie and Klay

Very true this, but we dey talk bou active players. Tmac sef no dey the list

Android17:
Every member of the New York Knicks team that won 2 titles between 1970-1973 made the list but Klay Thompson and Draymond Green with 3 titles and 5 straight finals from 2014-2019 did not make the list. Ohk.

No Kyrie, Klay.... Na that one pain pass, I'll rate both above Dame.. If Dame and AD dey on that list then PG, Embiid, Gobert suppose dey there.

But positives dey to pick from the game. The Knicks looks a very improved team from last season (and better if Kemba plays to his potential), just the way the Suns continued from where the stopped at the bubble and better with CP3. Time Lord did a good job tonight somewhat limiting Randle when he was placed on him, I expect a massive season from him. E just remain make Tatum dey consistent cos Jaylen Brown wants all the smoke this term. Na just first game, your boys can only get better. The fight they even put up suppose ginger them up.

Something about Jaylen Brown dey tell me say this fit just be him average kind of game this season. The guy looks very hungry, make sure say you remember this post when the guy catch fire finish

A very fine game this. And to think that Jaylen Brown could have missed this game, I wonder how e for be... lol

This one is over. Knicks should see this one through.
Roland your boys tried, them don tire

Roland17:


My broda, they can barely stay on their feet.

Abeg make someone win the game, e don do.
Tatum should attact the rim and stop shooting.

Roland17:
JB misses an open dunk.. Which kain game be this one abeg!

No legs...

They are all tired. Na that Schroder own worse pass..

Roland17:
My boy Tatum can't buy a bucket

Make him no dey shoot at all.

Both teams shooting bricks..

Roland17:
I don't like this one bit!

All tired legs and hands here. Your boys dey try na. But no defense at all

Roland17:
Can someone defend Founier for heaven's sake

Fournier just dey make free 3s. Bad D
This game na 3s galore

Even Barrett... Raining 3s here

Jaylen is on fire.
Fournier back to back 3s
This game is fire...

J.Brown came prepared. That deep 3 tho, game changer

Roland17:
BANG! BANG!!

Smart Ties it!!

OT WE GO!!

You must be proud. Kemba, this man just dey confused

aliondo:


Him jazz strong

Look at Steady's team, ontop how he wan use Lakers finish us on this thread, na only Dwight Howard him pick from Lakers. I cannot way to lay my hands on you Steady, I go beat you silly...

It's almost draft time o. Where una dey?

Birdman abeg which time be draft for Naija time?

waploger:



what's the prize?

The price na the bragging rights you go get when you win. Like this year, when I teach all of una better lesson, una no go hear word for here again. Last season na that foolish AD, Kawhi and Collins wey decide to just dey do nonsense towards the end of the season na why KILLRHYMZ get mouth so, if not, na me get the league last season. My own even better, see Smoosh.. na 7th him take. Na him call me Knicks but na him no make playoffs
But if you wan add prize, nothing do you, I will easily win your price..

steady986:


Lol. I see. So how are points scored?

You score a point over 10 categories over your opponent. So na 10 points per week for each category, like total points, rebounds, steals, blocks, TO, 3pts, FGA, FTA, and the others. You go follow your opponent fight for points and the point go add to your total every week, like say 6-4-0 (meaning you win 6 categories, lose 4 and draw 0), so e go dey add every week. Na so the rankings go dey, highest wins, but make you no worry, na you go be our bonus like some people (I no wan mention names), and you no go kuku make the playoffs, na 10-0-0 I promise you for every time we battle. Na very interesting game, just drop your yahoo email with birdman make he add you.

steady986:


What's it really about? Fill me in. Perhaps it's something I can spare some time.

Come join us, the fantasy league dey easy to play. You go pick players to make your team on draft day, then when the league don start, you go dey get different opponent (from we wey dey play too). You go just dey set your team, pick players to start from your team every day or every week. Na like say na you be coach (but I know say highest na present Doc Rivers you go be). So top 8 or there about go qualify for playoffs, make I no explain more cos na there I go knock you comot . You can google about it tho, and when you join, you fit do mock draft so you'll get used to the way it's done.

birdman:
Ladies, and not so gentle men , nairaleague is back! Congrats to killrhymz for bullying his way thru last season to a championship.

I will be sending invites out for those who want to re-up. If you are interested in joining this year, just ping me on this thread.

Draft is oct 16. I no wan hear I was out late partying, I slept off and missed the draft

Killrhymz must be killed this year. Period.


Cc skywalker5

If not for that yeye AD and Kawhi wey I get as first 2 picks because I miss draft, I for beat you for that Semi finals, then finish Killrhyhmz for final. Na during fantasy playoffs AD decide to rest. This season will be too easy for me.

Worst Season ever. I no dey even bother watch again, the pain of watching an edited live program is too much. There is a lot happening in that house that we are not seeing, even those using ShowMax don't get to watch all what is happening because it is being carefully edited out. The every day tasks even made it worse. I don't even bother to watch at all, I just read all the updates from here and I am good, cos una dey try for here. Nothing to expect or look forward to, no highlights, no interesting tasks anymore. The fakeness of this season con even too loud join. The producers are hiding a lot from the viewers and there is the ShowMax shit, e con be like say we wey dey sub max on our DSTV/Explorer/GoTV no get sense at all, or we must use the showmax for a show that only last for weeks.

I shame for this season. If na like this them wan continue, make them know say Guilder Ultimate Search dey come back to our screens, so make the orginizers of BBNaija no sit up. As much as you guys made this season fun (cos na only here I dey enjoy the show, watching it live just be like taking sleeping pills), let's hope there is an improvement. The rigging too, because no SMS voting, is to obvious. Las Las, na the organizers dey decide who stays and who goes. Rubbish season
