These fuckers cut Kuz. That's it, I ain't rooting for them no more.

They are surely winning again within this strong lineup

omlueh:
Are you a slowpoke, dont you know that Politician go thru their Agents to give thugs Cash rewards directly or indirectly without any Bank Transaction whatsoever, the likes of Tunubu Bola Ahmed, with two Bullion Van in his house in the last election was it not an eye opener to you, all the Cash in the Vans what do you think they are meant for, so also goes all the other Politicians of Big and Smaller Wits not only Tinubu Bola Ahmed, and any of their thugs that want to start misbehaving as a Result of their Influences will be Silenced, the likes of Saka Saula in Lagos State as at then, go and asked Tinubu & Aregbesola about Saula's Death may be you think they will tell you they are the Brain behind Saula Demise, please my Brother/ Sister, all of them these Bastard Politicians are not worth dying for.

I don't discuss issues with single minded people like you.

andrew444:
He is bro

It's nothing to argue about

Perspective. I have my way of rating above average players. To me, the only above player in d SE has retired.

A40:
So now that you're right what next. Imagine an entitled clown like yourself expecting anyone here to prove their basketball fandom to you.

One would think it's gidigbo they are fighting in the NBA and not basketball

Blablablabla I passed my message. I don't care how it got to you. Make una stop man worshiping in BB and face the sport in general.

darkelf:
Ndidi is above average. You are right about the rest

Above average my foot.

Roland17:
And you are a basketball fan because you follow FIBA religiously? Young man, I will assure you that the peak of your basketball knowledge is not enough to wipe the sole of anyone's shoes here. While this thread is exclusively NBA and I am sure you are not blind, we have discussed FIBA and many times the Euro League because it affects the NBA. When Steady brought it up, I went back to watch clips of D' Tigeress because it had been a while for me. So, if you can not pass your FIBA knowledge without being condescending, you can as well stick to your FIBA thread and leave this one for the purpose it was created in the first place.

Yea yes yea, you mean the way you guys insult eachother on this thread, engage in man worship and ego trip right? the divk comparison that goes on here is the "knowledge " eh? Alright I ain't here to join such parade as often witnessed here.

I got what I needed already so enjoy your divk contests.

The ball is in your court Wadume
name who gave you the 13M
its easy to say APC or pdp without a name to it.

Was it in cash? if yes, who paid you? Was it via transfer? What's the account name /number?
Very simple questions
We must know which politicians use criminals like you

Console games in lekki? Don't try it bro.
There are other options you should go for

A40:
No vex Mr Real Basketball fan

You can see a thread clearly labeled NBA thread. Yet you're whining about not creating FIBA thread. You have hand, you have phone and you have data yet you can't create the thread for yourself and initiate discussion.

Your yeye dey really smell

That's why I said una no be basketball fans but NBA fans. So I'm right.

yeye dey smell

MrPresident1:
Get lost!

Repent and serve the God or god you follow truthfully.

MrPresident1:
I am priming you. The one who is coming is fiery like thunder!

If una like make una accept, if una like delay your salvation, na una sabi. The gospel has already been preached to the whole world. Any moment from now the trumpet will sound, the thunder of GOD

No trumpet is sounding for the next 100 years.

The world has seen worse happenings in time past so keep your fear mongering to yourself and work on your life which is far from the Christ you claim to follow.

PDPGuy:
D’Tigers beat Poland 87-84 in overtime at the Peak Invitational tournament.
The victory was even more impressive as they had to claw back a 16-point deficit!!

Wow.
I need to see the highlights

Edu3Again:
I am from the South, we go to school unlike u fulani

Ifeanyi Ubah is from the south too
I'm particular about you and your lineage.
And none for your lineage fit reach him level.
fact!

edi287:
That is true. The modern day no 10 has to have the work rate to drop into midfield and become part of a midfield 3. Eriksen, De Bruyne, Silva, etc have all adjusted...only Ozil still dey do shakara.
Creativity can come from full backs like Liverpool

Which we lack in abundance in the SE.

I hope you're not religious because only an atheist is expected to sound this way. If you are a Christian and you typed this, then you're a stumbling block to the gospel of Jesus Christ and must repent or be purged out. (You sound like a bot to the wheel of the good news)

MrPresident1:
You are mentally dead. If not you would not be asking your father this stupid question

I watched a friendly match yesterday between Australia and the US, Australia for the first time won the US. 98-94. It was huge for the Aussies because they also didn't use their main team just as the US didn't but I heard the US team is what they intend using in China, so I want to believe that they are not that strong this time around.

Yes, they don't really come with their best to the WC or Olympics, I don't know why maybe it's all arrogance or they want to give a level playing ground to other countries. No country in the world invests money in Basketball like the US (Even though BB is not their national sport).

As for us getting out of our group, if we can defend 3pts well, then we should be able to beat both Russia and Argentina. These countries are mad with 3pts, especially Argentina, as for Korea, we can beat them if we learn to stop their sleeky forwards. ALL OF THEM ARE HIGHER THAN US IN RANKING but who ranking help you no come play?

I want to see what we will do during the preparational games coming up first. fine, we beat Canada, hopefully, we can repeat same feats against Iran (They are another strong side, they beat Russia and a host of other European countries).

Spain is a mad country too, the US is just a few points above them but we know this is because the big names don't attend world tournaments for the US like you noted.

I just can't wait to see the WC. Too bad my TV don spoil. so streaming is my only option which is data consuming.

PDPGuy:
It’s gonna be tough, but this team has the talent to beat those other team.
The teams I’m really scared of are the U.S. and Spain! I believe they are head and shoulders above every other team.
In fact, the Spanish team is slightly better than the American team only because the Americans aren’t coming to the tournament with their top NBA stars like Curry, Kawhi Leonard, or Kevin Durant.

Funny enough, if D’Tigers finish as runners up in the second group stage, and win their quarterfinal, they would likely come up against...the the United States in the semifinal!

benji93:
You got a point, we are not real basketball fans, just NBA fans hehehehehe. On a serious not, i think most of our folks here don't follow threads for other basketball tournaments unless it's discussed here. I hope it will change. But you can create a thread for that purpose, some of us that can will surely contribute.

Above is one.

Edu3Again:
Oga if u had an illiterate fulani man as president, you too will complain.

None in your family go school reach am.


Fact!

PDPGuy:
D’Tigers are good enough to advance to the quarterfinals or beyond

Good job bro.

Do you see us beating Russia and Argentina

I believe we will beat South Korea

Seems were the 3rd ranked in our group

Tammy scores

Una dey support NBA but not basketball in general.

FIBA world cup coming up in 7 days' time, yet no thread, nothing on it and una think say una be real basketball fans lol
Not even a prolonged discussion on it on this thread.


yeye dey smell.

apakoso2020:
comments,contribution and ideas are welcomed.

A reader is waiting
keep it up

MrPresident1:
You see the nonsense you people are doing on this forum, you will be fully recompensed. These people will not remain dead forever, as you have shown no respect or discretion toward them during the time they were dead, so also will you not receive one iota of pity when power is given back to them again and forever.

Continue in your work.

Still On

You ignored my email message or you didn't see it?

Earthquake1:
Etebo is an average midfielder

Like it or not

And who said otherwise?

All our players are average including the potential ones. Advantage for some is their ages which give them rooms for growth.

OMANBALA1:
LOL at "Iwobi balled today"...little nigga has been balling and hitting crossbar and goal post since kingdom come, but to what end. Next ,please!

If Iwobi like let him keep balling till eternity he can never be an attacking midfielder!

To what end is this hate?

Earthquake1:
Decent or average - same thing

Keep misusing words

Earthquake1:
He held the ball but was he good enough - No
That's why we are looking for a decent midfielder

He's a good player but not creative enough for that role of an AM
He's a decent midfielder, saying otherwise is ignorance.

Earthquake1:
I never said win possession

We played Burundi, Madagascar and Guinea for the fact that we failed to dominate any of those matches is an indictment on our midfield

You're just throwing words around anyhow. We dominated all matches you quoted. Madagascar profited from 2 errors to score us. They never dominated us
stats are there. Your argument is just floating anyhow

Earthquake1:
I never said win possession

We played Burundi, Madagascar and Guinea for the fact that we failed to dominate any of those matches is an indictment on our midfield

What on earth are you saying? We failed to dominate like dominating possession by a mile but not dominating play? Which stats are you quoting here?

Earthquake1:
Yes and he was apparently not good enough as we failed to dominate possession in any of our matches

Ndidi (defending) and Iwobi (creating) can be excused but not Etebo

lol iwobi created? lol

We failed to win possession in all our matches? Another fallacy from you.

Etebo was the most ooutstanding midfielder for the SE at AFCON. most consistent
What I am interested in is us getting a consistent creative midfielder that will set our attack and wingers on fire.

Earthquake1:
We are talking about ball 'holding'

Very soon na you go say person change topic

My ball holding is still what I stated from the start. "Calming" things and keeping "possession" for your side.
