I just watch on TV that the Lakers were the only team in the league without a 5 man lineup that played up to 100 minutes. Damn. Apart from having the most number of starting 5, we couldn't even get 5 guys to play 100 minutes together?

Na vex I take play Killrhymz. Although with a bit of luck.
Even steady too, I just knew his weakness, I knew he would be picking guys to complete his roaster for every game day grin grin grin.
Although, this my championship get comma like Lakers own. I hope next season the injury no go worse like this season. I'd prefer to win when everyone has a fit team. I know say if no be injury, you and Smooch for shake us. Injury do una strong thing, I saw when you kuku gave up when go no go.
I still remember draft day when you say you wan pick Poz, hoping he'd do well grin grin grin grin I just dey laugh cos I know say Poz and AD na birds of a feather, very unreliable with Kawhi too (that one no kuku play this season) grin grin grin.
I hope more guys join up next season so we have a deeper league. Steady just proved that new comer no dey for fantasy, as long as you know the sport very well, you're good to go.
Special shout out to DonLittle and Buddha Skillz, them teams dey scary AF
And shout out to the bonus teams in our league grin grin grin grin Sodiq and Emmanuel, una too much. Sodiq has a solid team with all the star players on the bench all season.
Sylvanus wey like PGs, I don't know what happened this season, you been dey hot last season.

Gary Payton and Kidd in this era will have issue because they were not good shooters. So stop with the they will dominate narrative. KAJ said something that I will always remember, he said the modern nba player is a far better shooter than they ever were,, even Larry Bird, said the game was in a far better place. We are talking of an era where something as basic as switching was not known, teams cannot use zone defenses, or zone hybrids like Miami likes to do sometimes.

That Killrhymz team looked unbeatable at full health. Your own too. E be like say una use jazz cover our eyes during draft. One thing I know now is be available on draft day, if not your entire season is fu*ked. We go again next year.
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 4:57pm On Apr 12, 2022
Man, I don't think anyone can even allocate one percent of any blame for KD to leave Westbrook. This guy is a Narcissist, and highly delusional.

He said and I quote on Frank Vogel "I'm not sure what his issue was with me."

According to the news flying around, Jeanie, Rambis, and pelinka told Vogel to even go ahead and bench Westbrook and take him out of the starting lineup, and Vogel was the one who fought to keep him still in the Lineup. Man, Dude is a Grade A Narcissist

What are you on about? How many truly good 3pt shooters do we have in today's league? What we have today are high volume guys that take a ton of 3's. Is James Harden for example a great 3pt shooter?

Is Lebron a great 3pt shooter? Luka Doncic is a career 33% guy from 3 and you're telling me Jason Kidd and Gary freakin Payton will have issues in this era? Era that Trae Young is thriving? Tell another joke please cos you're not making any sense.

I have told you the only significant difference between the Bird, Jordan era and this era is the proliferation and spamming of 3pt shooting

The lines are blurred on who is a good shooter because players nowadays take so many 3s.

Larry Bird at his peak was taking no more than 3 3's a game. Lebron is taking 8

Joel Embiid is taking 4 3's a game. Tim Duncan took no 3's. How do we then judge who is the better shooter when there was genuine disdain for 3pt shooting from that era

I don't know why any right thinking team would pick up a Westbrook. Not even for his expiring contract because the rancor he would bring. This is a guy who missed 35% of his dunks. He can't even mentor a young team cause he has no accountability and neither would he make life easy for a young coach.

I wonder how crazy those that dissed KD for failing to win with Westbrook must feel now. I had some sympathy for him in his early OKC years but unlike CP3 this man just refused to adapt his ways

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:31am On Apr 13, 2022
This Cavs team are a very good team, their season got derailed by injuries to core players, especially J. Allen. Tonight, they got most of the shots they wanted and kept it very close. I hope they are able to keep their young core because they will be better next season.

Nets v Celtics it is!

You may dislike him but you can't deny Kyrie is a stud. I also love the relationship he has with his father, it is beautiful to see. I hope KAT has a good showing next and takes his Wolves to the playoffs.

Wolves are showing a lot of emotional inexperience and immaturity tonight. Throwing tantrums for every foul and getting distracted by the whistle.

Me wen dey here dey hope say him go show up! Baba could not even stay on the court. But boy! A. Edwards wanted ALL the smoke and more. He wasn’t going to get beat tonight.

They calmed down and played well to finish the 4th. The Wolves return to the playoffs. With the celebrations you will think they just won a ring and that supports my earlier comment about their emotional immaturity and inexperience.

They go up against Ja and the Grizzlies.

Lol, na 2 early picks just waste. Last year I missed draft, them give me AD, Mitchell Robinson and Kawhi for early picks fa. Kawhi still better, but any back to back game, na minus 1 player for me same with AD. I just vex drop AD from my team grin grin
Na to make sure not to miss the draft, next year them go add like 2 surprise picks for top 20 again. E shock me when Steady pick J.Tatum as him number 1 pick (Tatum did well this season tho).

The Wolves v Grizzlies is going to be an interesting series. Both teams are inexperienced in the playoffs and have a young roster.

If we go by what we've seen through the regular season, I'd say it will be a clean sweep. But this is the playoffs.
This Grizzlies team just have something going for them, them no depend on any one player at all. It's even better for them that their main guys are fit, but that team no dey look face at all. As Towns don begin fumble, make we see how e go go, very interesting one this.

I think you are underestimating the by Nets A LOT.

Fully fit Celtics barely won the last they met and JT had to drop 50+ for that to happen in a game that was KDs first game back from 2 months lay off and with a bunch of newly traded key players (Drummond and Curry)

So skilled, more skilled than Duncan and Malone that he's needed two lottery picks just to get to a 7th seed. Reach finish and couldn't perform fouling and missing bunnies all over the place. I don't get the hype over skills that aren't translating to consistent winning

Credit to the Wolves this is a big leap for them.
