Only people who don’t follow this thread closely don’t know. During the playoffs, we get people on here and it’s easy for most who don’t follow the thread to make hasty statements..

It is one reason, I only engage handles that I know and have been following for a long time on here because I know their positions and they know mines!

We know their type. Was he here last season when they missed the playoffs?

Vajayjays. None of them were bold and bullish except Honlucas. They wanted to be able to push the underdog narrative if they lost, which tells me they are not even confident about their goat at all.

All their bluster is just placebo, a fake. If the Lakers were losing most of them wouldn't even be here

Roland17:


Worsestill without his side kick and 2nd punch Murray!

A terrible loss. With Murray back the ginger at the Phillip's would be mad.

Also Mazulla vs Snyder. What adjustments will he make because can you imagine if this even gets to a Game 7. Ime Udoka go dey one corner dey rub palms like Birdman

Wow. I'm surprised Hawks still in the fight. Trae Young omo ologo. SalutE

FBS:

lol. e shock you too abi?

People who love failure can never embrace success. It's that simple.

Na bro I don't think that's the reason.

People who love(d) another superstar can't help but hate Lebron . I do remember that at the beginning I was a great LBJ hater because of my love for Kobe. It took me years to admit that this man (LBJ) is greater than anything we ve seen sofar. He came under unbelievable pressure and expectations and still managed to deliver with little or no controversy/ scandals.

Close out games are always the toughest ones. See how Clippers and Wolves are fighting for their lives

FBS:

I never go personal unless attacked and even then I try to hold off.
So, bro I am lost here and I have no idea what you are talking about.

Besides, one or 2 posts and that's it. I don't like to waste my energy on things like that.

Bro, I am not trying to be an arbiter here but I thought you guys were having a healthy exchange before the insults came in. Except I missed it, which you can show me, I did not see where he said anything insulting and personal against you before your jab.

Also, A40 ranks him 2nd greatest of all time only behind Jordan and even above his favorite player Kobe. So, there is absolutely no way he doesn’t respect Ajala, he doesn’t have to like him.

A lot of the former players who rank Jordan as the GOAT don’t like him, Infact many will tell you they hate his personality but they absolutely respects him to admit his is the GOAT and that transcends hate.

Nobody needs to like anybody, the name of the game is respect!

Seeing a healthy Jamal Murray back is such a treat. He's taken a huge amount of load from Jokic who isn't quite that scorer in playoffs setting

That 3 pointer might have sealed the game for Denver.

So you missed his jab/s but spotted others? hahaha.

All good bro but like you said "Nobody needs to like anybody, the name of the game is respect"!

This is not just about Bball. It cuts across everything.

The Suns are poor under the rim, also their starters play heavy minutes. This would have been a tougher series if Kawhi/ PG13 were available.

Baba, if una get beef before, me I no sabi and if e pass bball, I don wash hand comot.

Na why I say make u lead me to where he jab you for here, incase I am miss am before your jab.

Abeg no vex, make we just enjoy the game.. This playoffs sweet die.

Slim Reaper !!!

Easy money sniper. That 3 pointer from KD mehnn. The suns firepower is just too much

Booker showing brodie how it's done.

Well, I join cause am, na me talk say make the Grizzlies end am in 6. Na agba ofofo these young Grizzs be, Brooks especially. I made the underdog narrative easy. . Besides another excuse is already building up and I love it.

A40:
Stupid people. We hate someone cos we expected them to beat the Grizzlies and refused to buy the underdog narrative from day 1. Military grade stupidity

Brodie has reverted to original mode. Man got the ball checked to him at the baseline of his own half, he dribbled into the Suns half, allowed the shot clock run down to 6 seconds before heaving a bad 3 point shot, which he misses. The Suns rebound the miss and Booker knocks down the 3 in transition…

Westbrook picks the absolute worst time to have a disaster class. Facilitate when you know you don't have that shot making juice instead of shooting your team out the series

Suns got off lucky. The Nuggets will be a different animal

Lol. One thing about me is I'm objective to a fault. No amount of bad belle will make me not face reality when it comes to certain topics. Even if I supposedly 'hate' Lebron. I'm realistic to see that the Lakers are a very deep squad and were a sleeping giant that are definitely better than their record suggested. Even when they got just Hachimura. Just him I saw them as a threat

Then they offload Westbrook, get a younger Russell, Beasley and one mugu is calling them underdog? Is it till them arrange 92 Dream Team. Think of how deep the team is that Lonnie Walker, Bamba and Beasley cannot even get any playing time.

Grizzlies only had a puncher's chance. Don't forget they are missing both Clarke and Adams. Two big bodies that could have made the series more competitive. Then I come here and someone is telling me Ja Morant, Bane and Jaren Jackson, is supposed to beat two top 75ers.

In that West the only team I would have confidently backed to beat the Lakers is a healthy Clippers team. Not even Golden State. Cos I don't believe Golden State match up well with Lakers

Na wa. Westbrick should not even be taking offense to anyone that calls him Westbrick at this point. He has earned the nickname

Na the same thing we dey talk just from different lenses.

The need to hate one player due to the love for another makes you hate the other and thus the need to see them fail in order to validate ones opinion. Like the players really care? lol

Question is, how hard is it to praise a player when they do well but quick to castigate them when it goes down hill?

Me...anybody ta si mi, I will give them right back. No time for story.

All G from my end boss.

And yes, this playoff sweet die.

The funny thing here is that all the LeBron cry babies, talking about hate basically do worse to curry.
Comparing curry to freaking Dame lillard.
Curry doesn't even claim to be the GOAT. Just because he has equal number of rings as LeBron.
Calling LeBron an underdog, against morant.

I don’t think Lakers fans even talk about curry, we have greater ops to criticize.

On what basis are you gonna compare lillard and curry?

Skrrrrrrr:

Na the same thing we dey talk. LeBron is great. Simples.
But when you put it like that, it sounds funny (LOL). Obviously though that's not what folks are talking about. It's Lakers vs Grizzles and they would lost if not for those sequence of actions mentioned.

If to say Ja dunk on LeBron (TWICE) y'all will drag him till he retire so give the man some space.

And yes Curry's name will never be forgotten in BasketBall cos I don't see how one dey disturb the other. Not a problem in my book.

I am absolutely enjoying this playoffs.

The thing is.
You guys do this for two reasons.
1. To underestimate a Vet(Haters)
2. To have an excuse if the Vet underperformes(Fan boys)
This is what happened last season. Curry Haters ranked him below Tatum, jokic, Doncic and even Morant. He outperformed every one of them and they won the Title.
Those Vets cannot be underdogs against these new schoolers no matter how you put it. Curry and Lebron have over 20 years of playoff experience and 8 rings between them. Save for Tatum, non of these dudes have been to Finals. Some of them are yet to play in a conference finals sef.
Tatum went to the finals with a better team and fell to the tragedy if inexperience.
As far as playoffs are concerned, championship experience is more superior than regular season performance.

As with sports, preferences and all the shalaye punditry wey we do dey here, everything is subjective minus the stats but stats does not always tell the whole story.

No one, can claim to be 100% objective. Anyone claiming so is a liar and we are all guilty of that bar none.

Lakers could have lost game 4 but they pulled it off so kudos to them but remember series is not over yet. I asked the question even before playoff started - Athleticism vs Experience.

So me, I am just here to catch fun and enjoy myself. Ko ju be lo.

I had expected Hawks to take game 5, because Trae is a spoiler like that. But when I saw Murray out, Im like its over. I am shocked to wake this morning and see Hawks still won! Wao!

Bruh free these hypocrites abeg. No time

Many players have tried to copy Lebron, try to be a player/GM and recruit other stars to play with. Only Durant has been disciplined enough to play his part, and no other player has been succesful in getting a ring from it.

Kawhi is a huge flop imo. I cant tell if he is actually injured, or is just really selfish. Im thinking its the latter, because I noticed PG3 too now claimed he was injured and missed the playoffs. The old PG3 would play on one leg come playoff time!

Other players could start doing the same - if you are load managing one guy, what about me? Why should I get injured, risk my career while the highest paid cat on the team does nothing.

So you know that PG13 used to play with one leg, but now that he did not play instead of thinking that his injury is way worse than what he usually plays through, your assumption is that he decided not to play.
As for Kawhi information that was leaked boils down to, his knees are gone, he has an issue on par with what ended Brandon Roy career, yes he is trying to save himself for the playoffs like he did in Toronto, but anyone who knows about any health stuff that is classified as deneragative, know it gets worse over time not better.

PS: The only way I will blame Kawhi is, if he confirmed that his knees are this bad before he signed that extension.
