Damn, I think I like Alex Caruso. He plays hard every night and is quite a handy defender. And he can surely put the ball in the hoop. I say sign him to back up Lonzo next season if we don't get Kyrie or Kemba.

KCP torching the Clippers with 23 pts sans LeNomad. Someone will soon come here and tell us how the earth revolves around the sun faster when LeNomad plays

MVP - Divide it into two between Giannis and Harden

ROY - Luka Doncic. Trae Young didn't wake up till after All-star Break. Assists is the only department Trae Young tops Luka

DPOY - Giannis Antetokounmpo. Can guard all 5 positions. Go and ask Embiid's back if you're in doubt

MIP - Pascal Spicy Siakam

6MOY - Lou Williams.

COY - Who had the Bucks as a top 4 seed never mind best record in the league. Honorable mention to Doc Rivers and Nate McMillan but Mike Budenholzer all the way


grin grin Embiids back lol

A lot of Coaches have been great this year. Let's not forget what Mike Malone has been doing in Denver.

Unku. You're just nitpicking stats like beans!



It might look like it but truth be told I don't have time for your tales by moonlight. All I know is he is taking 44% of his 2P at the rim compared to last year's 40%
You started the nitpicking na. Show me proof, that's all I ask

Lol. I see you. But if you consider he took 25 shots just to get 23 points, you'll know he had a bad night

Lool what proof do you need? We have established the fact LeNomad improving shooters is myth and urban legend as evidenced by your volume 3p shooters (Kuzma,KCP) experiencing a steep decline in their percentage

We have gleaned that what might be largely responsible for KCP's infinitesimal increase in field goal percentage is merely the reduction in the number of long 2's he takes so what else are you saying?

I like Malone, I think Denver had enough and should have been in the playoffs even last year but he's done a masterful job navigating the West with all those injuries. Having Millsap healthy was a big difference maker. If Harris finds his form somehow then they can make some playoff noise

Giannis had 5 blocks in that game, 4 on Embiid alone
Embiid called himself the most unstoppable player in the game. I'm sure Giannis heard that. He's a taller and more efficient, new improved Westbrook. And he wants all the smoke

I wanted raw experience man. China makes everything so easy of which what I needed raw experience. For like #9000 you could do a CT scan and like 20k for MRI. Unlike Nigeria where you'd have to hone your clerking skills because most patients can't afford to splash #60000 on CT scan only for it to come out negative for what you were suspecting. In China, they'd just run a routine tests from cross matching to CT, MRI or PET CT. Learning in an environment where there isn't easy Access to technology would be a blessing when you've mastered the suffer head type of learning and then get the luxury of technology.
Besides there's nothing bad in learning the Nigerian way if I needed a nigerian license. You could pass USMLE and fail the Nigerian MDCN exam (I'm kidding. However, Medicine in Africa is just different from Asia or Europe.)

Ahhhh. Nigerian license? Almost everyone I know in the medical line is running to do PLAB oh. Some of my Doctor mates are even running to Sudan and the Middle East to practice. If PLAB no work out. In the next 20 years I don't know if there would be any Doctors left in Nigeria. Maybe na herbalist we go dey patronize

I am suspecting peeps like Draymond that gingered him and told him to put away that good boy image so he could look and sound tough

Na KD did all that on his own. He wants to be a villain but then hates that he is being treated as one. See the media, hoping Kawhi and Walker and Kyrie, AD all play with Lebron, yet same media keep hounding KD for joining GSW. Double standards for days.

You do know hes shooting at closer ranges because of lebron right? Like i said, lebron allows better shot selection for shooters. This just proves his point. Stop arguing with facts.

WTF? What would you credit LeNomad for next? Electricity? This is such a nonsense take its not even funny. Any thinking Basketballer should not be taking that many long 2's to start with.

In 2016/2017 he took 172 long 2's, it dropped to 126 in 2017/2018. This should tell you that the tendency is simply being coached out of his game not any yeye LeNomad factor

The lack of consistency is what nauseates me with you lot. I have pointed to Kuzma and KCP shooting worse from 3's *crickets* you're now attributing someone taking fewer long 2's to playing with LeNomad. When analytics and everything else is simply coaching the long 2 out of shooter's games

LOL You've been clowning yourself all over this thread trying to discredit simple facts.

KCP suddenly found out shorter 2s are easier to make when he started playing with lebron.

You disappeared when i pointed out to you that KCP is shooting close to 40% from 3 with lebron playing. But this charlatan brings up his overall 3 pt % just to discredit lebron.

Your hatred for lebron has turned you into a bonafide clown.

LOL Leave the clown alone. Anything to give lebron credit like clockwork, you must expect him to complain. Doesnt even understand most of the things hes protesting but lebron getting credit must not be accepted at all cost. Its like hes on the spectrum or something. You'll find that he just loves arguing things for the sake of it. Rob Parkers illegitimate son.

Ohh shush it Child! You brought up a meaningless megedefegede stat from one month (February). You haven't even proven LeNomad was directly responsible for those 3's so save this nonsense narrative. We should disregard an entire season workload and focus on February?

The height of fraud and misinformation is claiming playing with LeNomad is the reason Kentavious started taking fewer longer two's when hard evidence suggests he started that process since the previous season.

You clowns claim a player making simple smarter decisions is purely tied to LeNomad. I call BS

Is this your fallback plan? The original argument is LeNomad should not get credit for KCP'S play (which has not been anything to shout about anyway) but it's been purely down to him. The rim bants you're on about is just you obfuscating the matter.

If you like you can keep clutching at straws. What is evident is KCP taking less longer 2's has improved his efficiency ever so slightly.

Evidence suggests that he's been progressively taking fewer of these shots before LeNomad entered the picture.

Deliberately killing another human still shocks me. The sad thing is, that place has a canal where those miscreants stay and it happens from time to time. Knowing Nigeria, nothing will be done. I'm pack my bags once I'm done.
Upon their meagre salary, I can't count how many times I've seen them pay for patients bills. From common #4500 chest x-ray to CT scan of like #60000. They sometimes contribute when patients can't afford CT scan. It's not even doctors alone. The average decent Nigerian deserves a better life and that life is outside Nigeria.

Sad stuff, it was chilling when I heard the news. I didn't know that we "medics" plenty on this forum.
I started residency recently. But I have made up my mind to "port too" the system is just crazy ., no time for nonsense again.

The irony is that the same night the sad event happened, we had a ruptured pseudoaneursym of the right femoral artery on our hands in my center, unfortunately my consultant a vascular surgeon had traveled out so we were planning to refer to luth. The patient went into shock, so much resuscitation, th patient somehow survived and had a A.K.A.

Hian, look at the stats again. You claimed KCP is going to the rim more this season thus the 2pt% surge. But the stats say otherwise. He went to the rim more last season than this season. Do we at least agree on this one?

Leave rim matter and focus on the matter at hand. Someone has provided you Garri, you're still asking for Cassava.

The most impactful boost to his FG% over the last two years consisted of him cutting down on long 2's, since this has been unearthed stop taking us back to any rim matter that does nothing for the debate whether right or wrong
