Spoken like a true Aaron Fraudgers disciple

2014: Since I started watchin the NFL Rodgers is the first QB I've seen that failed to win despite his defense gifting him 4 interceptions

2016: Every day in the NFC title game is a bad day for Fraudgers. The same Falcons team that crushed him by 5 scores Brady came from 25 pts down to beat. There's levels to this

2018: Aaron Fraudgers fraudulentin as usual beaten by 5 scores again

2020: After throwin a scrotum crushing pick at the verge of halftime which Goat Brady promptly converted and Rodgers unable to convert 3 straight downs, if you were Lefleur tell me you wouldn't take the ball off Fraudgers's hands
not his fault if his receivers keep dropping the ball in key moments

3rd OT game in only game 6 of the season tells you all that you need to know about my Celtics.

My heart goes out to Ernie Johnson and his family after the loss of their son, Michael Johnson. I remember watching a documentary about Ernie and his son years ago and I realized how much he loved this son of his.

A player like RJ Barrett just shows how lazy and totally uncaring Ben Simmons is. RJ came into the league with so many holes in his game and it is refreshing to see a young player who actually puts in the work grow in front of our eyes. Sophomore season improved his FTs, and from what he is doing so far he has improved not only on his 3s, but also his his finishing at the rim with his off hand and also his off the dribble shooting. Ben Simmons is a scammer

I hope the Sixers keep winning, lets see if he won't be forced to return by himself out of shame (I am still assuming he has competitive shame)

Studying Kyle Kyzma carefully, we can see that the only thing he's doing better this year is putting more effort on the boards. His FG% has gotten worse from last year. His assists have gone down too. His scoring has increased by just 2.6, and that's because he's starting games and his minutes has increased by 8.1/game. Notice he averaged 18.7 on 45.6% shooting and 2.5 assists as a starter alongside LeBron a couple of years ago. Those were all career highs.

So by and large, we're still waiting to see that improvement without LeBron.

We can rest now.

Una no go use awada kill person for this app. Was that not the season LeNomad missed 27 games? Say na alongside. Who was taking the extra shots LeNomad's absence created? Oya what of the season he played 'alongside' LeNomad and was dropping 12ppg on 43% Shooting. Make una dey piss one place make e foam oh
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:24pm On Oct 31, 2021
If you calm down read well, you go see say I write 'started alongside' not 'played alongside'. Make you calm down dey read. Don't expect someone coming off the bench to give you starter numbers.

Imaging thinking 27 games is enough to pump your numbers to ridiculously high figures. This is compared to the +50 they played together o. Dey fear God o. And for your info, out of that 27 games LeBron missed, Kuzma also missed 10 of them. So 17 is your number. And in 32 games (with and without) since 25 December when LeBron got that injury, Kuzma averaged 19.2 points on 43.6% shooting.

Lol. No be to just come here open mouth waaaa. Try dey do background check first.

Cap! Steph has never been dependent on baiting fouls for his offense. In fact, he gets more missed calls than any superstar in the league.

Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 3:44pm On Oct 31, 2021
Steph averages 4.2 Free throw per game for his career. Harden averages double but according to you steph is dependent on foul baiting for his points.

In comparison to Harden, he's never average double digit free throw per game in a single season. Harden has done that in about 7 seasons.
Just say you they beef steph curry.

The best shooter in NBA history who is often defended aggressively right from mid-court and usually double or triple teamed several times in a game but he averages 4.2 Free throws per game. A travesty.

you have strength to be educating him. Curry was fishing for extra free throws last season no cap but that was because he was suffering without it when fake players like Trae and Harden were living off it. I recently saw that Harden had a good game for the Nets but then I peeped and saw he got 20 free throws. What a fraud.

Lol. So now free throws is a sin grin Because someone averages 8+ FT he's now a fraud. MJ averaged 8.7 FTs in his 13 seasons with Chicago and 8.2 overall. LeBron is averaging 7.9. Would we say they weren't elite scorers just because of their high FT numbers?

We're not saying Steph was dependent on flopping to score points, we're just saying he flopped at times. Apart from Trae, Harden and Luka, I don't think there anyone that does that pump fake and jump into defenders more
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:23pm On Oct 31, 2021
And for all those castigating Harden, did you bother to look at his numbers first? The man is shooting 37% from the field so far this season, as opposed to 47% last year. Are you saying lack of FTs have something to do with the reduction? And to top it all up he's attempting a paltry 14.8 shots per game, which is his lowest since his 3rd year at OKC. For more context, he attempted 24.5 shots in 2018. Lol. Make una calm down. He's just having a bad run of form. Baba will easily average 25 even with 5 FT attempts.
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 10:12pm On Oct 31, 2021
Shalaye fc you're practically contradicting what you said earlier.

You said the rule change will affect Steph and I correctly pointed out that it won't since he was never dependent on baiting FTs to statpad his scoring but you countered that I am lying.
You don see stats now, you begin shift post.

Which kin megedefegede this chappie dey always yarn? Merely looking at the volume of shots Kuzma took right after LeNomad got hurt just checking the first 3 games alone its easy to see what I'm saying. He was taking 17-24 shots per game in LeNomad's absence before also going down so tell me how he wouldn't wind up on 18ppg while taking that many shots? For your mind now you don uncover mystery. In a season he took career high in shots?

What is more amusing man's skipped the last two seasons Kuz really regressed using excuse of bench as if we don't have the likes of Jordan Clarkson in this league. All these Idiroko pundits sef
