You know say you fit turn this into prayer point? cheesy grin
It's crazy to me how every Laker game is almost always a dogfight. From Detroit to Hornets, Portland, Kings. And then you see those numbers and you understand why

@A40, I think we forgot to remember one of our very own soldier on this thread last year.

Continue to rest well @Bawomolo (Busayo), your Bulls have resurrected and I imagine you are smiling.

Man. How we go do. It's not that we forget it's been over 10 years now, it's always in the corner of your head. It's just sometimes you just try to get closure from it all. It's all you can do especially when you realize that as you grow older someone you know is passing every other month. Last 2 years taught me this

If at this junction Lillard can't request for a trade or put serious pressure on his front office it will further emphasize my belief that he's a coward that fears the scrutiny of been at the forefront competing for a title.
It takes serious cojones to bet on yourself by moving to another team as a star to position for a title run. The media and fan scrutiny is dialed up.

Lillard just wants to chill, stat pad, collect big money, home love and the benefits of " what if's" throughout his career.

I noticed last year, and I assumed you guys were starting to forget and heal proper. I always feel sad when I think of the trauma of the parents: After hustling to enter yankee, only to have your child cut down by low lifes. God have mercy on us all.
I have different news links about his shooting and case saved up and I still get triggered for any Nelon Drake(the guy that killed Busayo) news. Maybe it’s time to let go of those things, time will tell.

You see wetin me and @A40 dey do with the GOAT vs the tap dancing Brady debates, na wetin Busayo dey do with @A40 with Cutler/ Rose/ Bulls that time, we go just stand one side dey look and laff. Seun don archive a lot, if not!! The man was an intelligent soul, my goodness!

Like you, I feel gutted for his parents and his family because I can’t imagine the degree of pain they have continued to endure. Man was different, I tell you!

Na why I no dey use my interactions with some of una for here joke. While it may be online and faceless, a lot goes into it especially consistent long termed interactions.

@Chic2pimp holla abeg!
@Decale, wherever you dey, I hope you are okay.

No idea what happened to the fool, but I see a name double pop up on google, 10 years older in h is 30s, still doing dirty deeds. It better not be him, how could he have gotten out of jail so quickly.

I think its Hardens people stirring up social media to force a trade. I doubt it will happen.

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m):
KD is so insecure

But he doesn't even get that Stephen A is trying so hard to change the narrative from KD joining a 73-win team to KD leaving Steph. How does Stephen A. go from "KD's move to GS was the weakest move ever" to "If KD doesn't win a ring without Steph, he would be remembered as the guy who left Steph to go to Brooklyn"

E be like say Stephen A dey always high on something before coming on air. Or it could be that Mama Durant has asked him to go soft on her boy. Literally no one would remember KD in that light. We'll always remember KD as the guy who joined a 73-win team.

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:48am On Feb 07, 2022
5th straight win and now tied for 6th. Our defense has continued to stay strong and out offense has picked up. I like how we have played since January, hopefully we keep the momentum.

They are playing different, that is for sure. Coach looks more sure of himself as well, maybe its just me.

I am still indifferent about Ime's coaching, he still has to show me he can coach us out of slumps. I like how we have attacked teams when they employ the zone which used to be a big problem. The biggest improvement has been on offense. Like I said, I will wait until the next 3-4 games to see how we play.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:17pm On Feb 08, 2022
CJ to the Pelicans. At this point the Blazers should just give us Dame and take Westbrook. Westbrook would help them tank well.

If I hear, the best deal for the Blazers is with the Sixers. A starting backcourt of Simmons and Anfernee Simon's is not a bad place to start from

I said this 2 months ago, the Blazers need to trade everything and start all over again(REBUILD). This thing is not working, they have given it nearly 6 seasons, if I am not mistaken with Lillard/CJ/ Nurkic and have a mere conference finals to show for it.

If I am the owner, I am trading the core pieces with the intention of getting good 1st round picks and associated pieces to fill my roster. More importantly, your core pieces are aging and that means an inevitable drop in value. CJ/ Lillard/Nurkic will be useful elsewhere.. pursuing a Simmons trade should not be explored, in my opinion.

Lol. Even though Simmons is desperate to leave Philly I don't think joining forces with Anfernee is top of his list. Ain't no superstar going to Portland to join forces with Simmons and Simon.

Ben Simmons has no choice, he has 4yrs left on his deal, and he has insisted he will play anywhere but Philly. As for the Blazers, if they can get Simmons and some picks or players, they can afford to tank for the rest of this season and then hope they make the right pick at the next draft.

PS: The Pacers and Kings trade is kind of weird, I understand what the Pacers are trying to do, but what does the Kings get from this.

bro u right! Lillard has been exposed. He used to hide behind not wanting to chase rings. But now, even as the team is rebuilding, he is not forcing the issue. Supposedly, he also wants to stay on the west coast if traded, not too far from home. smh.

Best big man whey Giannis dy school, is that one the best? grin
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 5:19am On Feb 09, 2022
Giannis getting some love on TNT. Shaq hit the nail on the head, folk acting too cool out there. Hustle (Giannis) is outworking talent (AD). This is as close of an open rebuke as I have seen Shaq say about AD.
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 5:50am On Feb 09, 2022
So many blowouts tonight, but the only losing team that should be concerned is Lakers. Clippers already made some moves, and the remaining teams dont care. I wonder if tonight's loss forces the Lakers hands
