The experience of the Sixers gives them the win. Nets coach should have replaced Harris as it was not his night and the play call during their last possession was horrible. The one player the Sixers want with the ball was Allen and once he touched the ball, they swarmed him like bees.

Oh, I see. Even all the success they've had in recent times feel bitter.

LOL What success? They're winning but no one is acknowledging them and deep down they know their rings dont count so it hurts. Lebron ruined their 73 win season where curry was unanimous MVP and was supposed to be FMVP and they still cant let it go. Lebron sonned him. KD thought that joining a 73 win team he blew a 3-1 lead against will make him the best player in the world LMAO! Seriously how weak does a person have to be to go 3-1 up, lose to a team and the go join them the next year. And he expects people to respect him or his plastic rings cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy


Like i said, i'm rooting for the warriors because i dont want anyone to win other than lebron. The warriors can win 10 rings in a row and they still wont be recognized. Just a bunch of soft b-tches just like their fans. As far as any reasonable person is concerned no team has won an NBA championship since 2017. Lets go warriors! Three peat!!!

A healthy Blake Griffin equalizes or should I say, reduces the potency of Gianis, however, even with parity, the depth of the Bucks bench gives them all the edge against the Pistons.

Blake doesnt do much to reduce Giannis offensive potency. But u right, bucks are deep, in a lowkey sort of way

I disagree, if you watched the 1st quarter and 2nd, you would see that Blake was successful at keeping Giannis away from the rim. He was scoreless in the 1st Q and less than 10 in the 2nd and finished the game with 14 points. Gianis struggled when Blake was his primary defender as he matched him pound for pound. The Bucks will make some adjustments as they look to close out early. One of the disparity in this series is the bench and that is what gave the Bucks the W tonight. Gianis was not good tonight.

Is this the rockets team thats supposed to be a threat to the warriors? LMAO! First of all any team led by james friggin harden is not a threat in the playoffs cause that guy is the greatest magic act since harry houdini! Warriors in 4, not even kidding, this time around its going to be a sweep. Funny enough the only team(s) i see challenging the warriors is/are in the east.

Nah nothing to do with Blake. He simply just had an off night. Apart from scoring, He is usually a V.Good facilitator however He was mehhh at that particular job tonight. Heck even His DPOY level defence was not there. May be He was coasting I don't know but He lacked the usual intensity I have come to expect from Him.

Dude your sister asked for it, how the hell was i supposed to know she was under 18? she looked 30 mate.
I don't have a sister you unrepentant donkey shagger. You're still a nonce. Just because it's legal in your part of town doesn't mean you're not a deviant

ReysonDrabek:

Didnt i just say Hollow man is one of the OGs? Doesnt mean hes not one of the most lyrically lacking grime MCs period. That quote about "kings of lyin" i always like to use is from a giggs song BTW, from santans line. Only two songs in wamp to dem are worth listening too, the rest is hot trash. Dont even get me started on his latest project. Look what the cat dragged in is considered a giggs classic but is a microcosm of his flaws. Grime beats are lacking to put it mildly which is why lyrics are so important.
Landlord is my best Giggs album anyway. That was the album that had a solid body of work. Lyrically though no Grime MC can cope with actual rappers. If Rap was the Heavyweight division, grime is like the Middleweight/Lightweight division. It's not even close

ReysonDrabek:

LMAO Look at this casual? Just because you know a few names doesnt mean you know jack sh-t about the grime scene. Like him or not, the main person behind the grime resurgence is Big stormz, big mike, the problem. I dont rate him too much but anyone who wont admit that is a hater or just doesnt know. The grime scene didnt start popping when bugzy sent shots, it started popping when chip came back and set all their arses on fire, chip alone stood his ground against about ten hating a-s MCs. Bugzy owes his career to chip. Plus why wont it take 5 months for chip to respond? Chip was popular, everyone knew everything about him. No one knew bugzy, how do you expect him to write a diss track about someone he knew nothing about? What did he do when he got the ammo he needed though? he shredded the man to pieces while bugzy was busy repeating one thing over and over again! You actually believe he went pop? LOL Bugzy stan, hip hop is not Pop. Chip is a pioneer for british music, i remember bumping to london boy in secondary school back when he was still chipmunk! Bar for bar very few can come at chip, like he said "they can out shoot me they can out stab me but moms life they cant out verse me".
Oh shut the hell up man. Who waits 5 months to release a clapback. That's past the statutes of limitations in any other genre of music.

I don't have time for your long story. All I know is Bugzy played a significant role in Grime's resurgence whether you like it or not. He's not even a Londoner which makes his achievements even the more impressive.

As per their beef I'm still on the fence on who won it. Hence my previous response on the subject. But imagine comparing a song with such a weak title for starters like 'Dickkhead' to a song like Ether.

If Chip is the gold standard for grime music as you allude to, then this essentially proves my point. And yes he did turn Pop. Stop arguing nonsense you little Chip fangirl.

ReysonDrabek:

LOL This clown doesnt know that Grime evolved more from reggae than rap. Thats why most of its pioneers are jamaican. Like kano said "before i knew the whole alphabet i knew zunguzunguguzunguzeng" I told you you dont know anything you casual. Only reason you im.beciles are bumping to most rap songs is mainstream appeal period, no substance in them whatsoever.
Lmaooo that's not the argument you cross eyed hippo. Rap is one of its most important influences, no one is it was it's only influence. It's borderline impossible for any genre of music to have one sole influence.

Why even bring reggae up? Are we comparing Reggae to Grime? Crazeman

No Grime MC living or dead can step to a Big L or Big Pun. What is this cretin talking about. But what else can I expect from someone that considers Kid freaking Cudi an elite rapper.


ReysonDrabek:

No, this will be a massacre, he gets no props from me, he knows he has everything to gain and nothing to lose. I get its a world championship fight but he should go and fight Kell Brook straight after. No excuses cause thats the fight that really makes sense.
Why are you always so emotional. You must possess unusually high levels of oestrogen

No fighter tries to get in the ring to intentionally get embarrassed. At least not one with Khan's résumé

I am pretty sure Brook would beat Khan. His chin is Brunoesque but suggesting he's ducking Brook is unfair. He's fought Maidana, Canelo and Danny Garcia. You can't tell me after fighting those goons he's scared of facing Brook. That makes zero sense. It's probably a money thing. Truth be told I don't care for a Brook/Khan fight. They are both washed!!!

The only fight I care for at that level is Errol Spence Jr and Crawford

He would stay down if he was a coward after that crazy knockdown in Round 1. He did his best

Say what you want about Amir but he's no bitch. He just has no chin

Imagine comparing the defense of the 2011 mavericks to these clippers LMAO! Was easy to guard lebron at the time cause all they did was stay off him and dare him to shoot, cause that dallas team was one of the best defensive teams of this era period. Marion, Chandler, stevenson and so many other seasoned defensive veterans. The whole team philosophy was to stop lebron from doing his thing and lebron in turn looked like absolute sh-t. Like he admitted, they made him do things he didnt want to do and he wasnt ery good player so because of it he got better. As for rondo he has one of the best basketball minds in recent times period. He guarded lebron only from the third quarter not the whole game and most times he came with a double team with perkins usually waiting after lebron posted rondo up. Plus lebron managed to create shots for his team mates while being guarded by rondo. Wasnt even a playoffs game, they knew better than to try that in the playoffs. In any case saying kidd or rondo locked lebron up is friggin ignorant! The only idiots bold enough in their stupidity to claim kidd or rondo shut down lebron reside on this thread.


Now compare that to patrick beverly hounding you and restricting you to 8 friggin shots. Imagine sending tapes to the league to complain about how patrick beverly is defending you. Thing is whether you as- licking cunts want to admit it or not, KD is just soft, period. What A40 the lying sack of sh-t wont tell you is the same 38 year old Kidd locked down 7 ft kevin durant the same year. And lets not forget Tony allen who constantly bullied durant!
You're a crying disgrace. You have gone from claiming Kidd didn't D up LeNomad to crowning the Mavs the best defensive team since the Chicago Bears. Michael Jackson is applauding your shameless moonwalk from the great beyond. You should have said this ab initio instead of disgracing yourself

The primary defenders of LeNomad were Shawn Marion and especially Jason Kidd, defer to people who actually watched these games you friggin herdsman. Imagine the cheek of this sodomite claiming LeNomad was not a very good Player at the time. A two-time MVP (Bronsexuals even swore he deserved it in 2011 as well) now this imp is trying to do a 180

You should be ashamed of yourself. Your LeNomad was held to 17pts in a series by a 38 year old

You're not even disproving my point of smaller guys D-ing up larger players throughout league history like I was trying to enlighten your fellow ignorant Bronsexual. I'm not here to argue for or against the hardness or softness of KD. 2011 was KD's 4th year in the league. He was 22. Your MCM was 26 and in his 8th season in the league.

Bottom line you can't troll KD and exonerate LeNomad you shameless hypocritical nonce

WTF are you going on about? Why must you bring lebron into everything? obsessed much? Crawford hit his thigh not his crown jewels, Amir Khan is entitled to 5 mins to recover, the man didnt take it. The bitch is going about claiming terence hit him in the balls. He just saw a way out, perhaps wanted to somehow score a DQ victory, he quit period! No two ways about it. He was getting outclassed and he saw an opportunity to escape. His trainer was already considering pulling him out! He asked him if he wanted to carry on and the bitch said no! He pulled a con job and ran away with his 10 mil. Its a damn shame, terence on his espn ppv debut putting on a clinic and we got this anti climactic ending! SMH!

Not only positive but positive for more than one substance. Apart from steroids he was also blood doping (EPO) and with EPO like with Dillashaw there is no chance of tainted supplements because its only injectable. Thats the same thing lance armstrong was doing and is about the most egregious form of doping. Clenbuterol, turinabol here and there in small quantities i can give a fighter the benefit of the doubt, i did it with jon jones twice (and still do it before every fight since USADA agrees hes pulsing) and with canelo. But this guy is just a piece of sh-t and should be permanently banned from boxing! SMDH!

I really hope ortiz gets the fight but hes probably too dangerous to take on a short term notice, Hearn just got an excuse to fill the spot up with another farmer. Fvck the heavyweight division, a bunch of bitch boys and gaping vaginas!

Well each to his own but hollow man is not my cup of tea. I strongly disagree, bars are the basis of grime, grime artists can go through a whole song without a hook, just bars. If you really think that you have been listening to the wrong mcs. One of the basis and foundation of grime was LOTM, go watch Wiley vs kano or Skepta vs Devilman, grime is built on lyrics and the ability to go toe to toe with someone in that sense. Listen to anwti from wretch 32 who is the best lyricist in the world IMO, or power or his fitb or his growing over life album. Kanos made in the manor is one of my best ever albums, no bad songs in it. Hip hop / rap is bigger but that in no way says its because theyre better lyricists. It more mass appealing and grime mcs lack the exposure of americans.

Oh shut the hell up man. Who waits 5 months to release a clapback. That's past the statutes of limitations in any other genre of music.
Again, how do you write a diss track about someone you knew nothing about? no one knew bugzy until that fitb, he had to wait and gather intel. Better wait than do a meek mill.

I don't have time for your long story. All I know is Bugzy played a significant role in Grime's resurgence whether you like it or not. He's not even a Londoner which makes his achievements even the more impressive.
Yeah yeah how can we forget when this guy wont quit reminding us in every song. I admit he does have some bangers, i may even have more bugzy than chip songs, but like i said, chip was one of my first favs.

As per their beef I'm still on the fence on who won it. Hence my previous response on the subject. But imagine comparing a song with such a weak title for starters like 'Dickkhead' to a song like Ether.
With beefs where there are multiple tracks theres bound to be weak ones, chip had dickhead but also had pepper riddim, light work, 96 bars of revenge and run out riddim. Bugzy had zombie riddim but also had relegation riddim. As far as who won, it was all staged anyway. Plus i would say bugzy won because he was nobody before the beef and now hes king of the north. Thats why i say he owes his career to chip.

If Chip is the gold standard for grime music as you allude to, then this essentially proves my point. And yes he did turn Pop. Stop arguing nonsense you little Chip fangirl.
I dont even listen to much chip these days. Like i said, im biased.

Lmaooo that's not the argument you cross eyed hippo. Rap is one of its most important influences, no one is it was it's only influence. It's borderline impossible for any genre of music to have one sole influence.

Why even bring reggae up? Are we comparing Reggae to Grime? Crazeman

No Grime MC living or dead can step to a Big L or Big Pun. What is this cretin talking about. But what else can I expect from someone that considers Kid freaking Cudi an elite rapper.
But grime draws more from reggae than grime because the beats is gotten from reggae and thats what mostly defines grime.

LOL Like i said, i'd be surprised if you had the intellect to appreciate kid cudi. He may not be an elite rapper, but hes the only rapper i consistently listen to because kid cudi is a genre on his own. I dont expect you to appreciate his genius.


Why are you always so emotional. You must possess unusually high levels of oestrogen

I am pretty sure Brook would beat Khan. His chin is Brunoesque but suggesting he's ducking Brook is unfair. He's fought Maidana, Canelo and Danny Garcia.

They are both washed!!!

The only fight I care for at that level is Errol Spence Jr and Crawford
I'm passionate about the things i like. Khan can avoid brook and fight bud because no one will blame him for losing to crawford. If he loses to brook and in the UK he knows its over, he has everything to lose. If theyre both washed then it definitely makes more sense than sending a washed glass jawed man against arguably the p4p King. Id rather the two washed guys fight each other, see whos more washed cheesy cheesy

As for crawford Spence dont hold your breath, bud called spence out today and al haymon claims they want to make it but the politics behind the top rank - PBC divide is too much of an obstacle. I doubt it will happen any time soon.

LOL We've already proved that Lebron and KDs case were extremely different so stop trying to compare the two. Besides, lebrons performance was more about him being passive than anyone doing anything to him. Heck i could have guarded him in that series and he still would have sucked. I didnt compare the mavs with any team, i just said they are a better defensive team than people realize. I also didnt say lebron was bad, i said he said he wasnt a very good player

"I wasn't that good of a player in that series. I wasn't a complete basketball player," James told reporters, per TheScore.

"Dwane Casey drew up a game plan against me to take away things that I'm good at and to try to make me do things that I wasn't very good at.

"So, he's part of the reason I am who I am today."

Stop trying to put words into my mouth to win an argument. Everyone who watched that dallas series knows it wasnt about just kidd, everyone who watched kds game vs the clippers knows he let beverly get to him period. Stop trying to debate that.
