Lol. You guys remember Jokic vs Keef? When you guys were saying a mere basketball play could have broken Jokic's bones and so had every right to retaliate. The same scenario played out with Poole and Dray. What if that push busted Dray's chest open? You don't push a grown man and expect him not to retaliate Lmao. Y'all even blamed Keef for fowling Jokic and turning his back on him. Well, me too I blame Poole for pushing Dray and not expecting the punch.
benji93: He's been tremendous for all our championships(perhaps not for this one. ), so it should be hard to get rid of him. But, why wouldn't they want to control the situation? Why wouldn't they frown on leaks? The leaked video makes the optics really bad and perhaps may force the organization to take a different decision, even though Myers said this would be handled internally(I hope they do not bow to media pressure, though. If you allow it once, you may lose control of your controlling power. ) . Meanwhile, I would love that, Lebron over the last few years has turned himself into a relics collector, so why not?
Lol. The relic collector is still better than any version of Curry there ever has been It's a pity his sidekick AD has let him down in his twilight years.
Nice runaround from the boys tonight. Always nice to beat the boys from San Francisco, no matter the competition. AD looked good. If, and it's a big if, he can stay fit, the Lakers have a shot at making the playoffs in this deep west. I'm looking to see how they use Schroder in this rotation because we're deep in that 6'1- 6"2 guard that can't really shoot.
So Dray punched Poole with no punishment and now he's decided he's taking a vacation. Lol. This guy is untouchable. No wonder the Warriors are mad that the video got out more than the incident itself, cos they don't want to explain why Dray ain't getting punished. They didn't want the world to know how bad the incident was because they might be pressured to punish Dray.
Blueelf: TBH, any sane GSW fan would push for the same
The annoying thing is that, he would be given a very light punishment. And this dude brings nothing to the team. Adds nothing either offensively and isn't as good a defender as he used to be
I also wish he is traded. I have had enough of his nonsense
Lol. Instead of your team to be looking for ways to punish Dray, they're looking for who put out the video. He should be waived so he'll sign with the Lakers biko
SmooshCHN: Draymond be starting sh1t and it's annoying. You're not the biggest asset on the team to be acting a f0ol from time to time. Fans are talking about how he's the leader bla bla bla. What kind of leader is that? And in typical warriors fashion they are more concerned about who leaked the video. Hold this dude accountable.
Nairaleague draft is set for Saturday October 15 4AM PDT, 12 noon naija time. See you all! And lets ensure killrhymz wings stay clipped. May the god of strange injuries visit him again this year
If anyone else want to join the acrimony, let me know. We would need 2 people at a time to balance the league
No wahala.
Our teams go deep this season (if we are 10 teams). Kawhi, Murray, MPJ, Klay, Zion, Dame are all healthy. Kyrie and Simmons look like they'd play too.
Man, the kind of depth team are having this season is mad. I'm just finding out that Christian Wood is now with the Mavs. Look at the Nets, Sixers and Cavs. What about the Clippers. Wahala dey o
Khanben: That is why organizations who are in the public domain should either have a PR risk management section in house or have one on retainer. The fact that a team president is saying publicly that he made this decision based on his conscience is just juvenile. They did the hard part in keeping it quiet from the time it was reported to when they decided to deal with it, but the bungled the execution. All they needed to do was investigate it properly and have conclusive answers that kills any iota of speculation, by the time they were ready to make it public. Their approach just allows for speculation that might come to bite them in the ass if they are not careful, unless it was their desire to dominate the news cycle for more than necessary.
And to think it is their fellow ESPN reporter, Woj, that came out with the idea of consensual relationship, makes Malika a little silly. Woj was sitting right there beside her and she had the guts to say they were not sure of the details. It makes Woj look like he did the reportage with little or no intel. I'm happy that Perkins stood his ground and said he knew the facts for certain. Baba was not about to allow small Malika question his credibility on national TV.
Khanben: The Celtics never said it was consensual, reports without a source said that, and other reports also without sources, have emanated pointing to possible misconduct/missteps on Ime's part. So the hiring of a law firm is the right call albeit a bit late IMHO. The Celtics dropped the ball big time on this one, they should have gotten it properly investigated as soon as they were made aware of it in June, if they had done that they would have come out with a more complete picture, and all this speculation would have been largely unnecessary.
This is truly on them. Why have a press conference if you're not going to give us details? And there's no smoke without fire. If he's been suspended then it means the investigation has been completed or there's enough evidence suggesting he broke the code of conduct. With all the rumours flying around about who the women involved are (whether there truly were women involved), they could have debunked it and said no women were involved. It saves the female staff of the organization a whole lot of embarrassment. But they didn't, which means women truly were involved.
afrodoc2: I have been following closely and getting snippets.
Let me post this clip. Woke media on ESPN trying to shut Perk down. From what Perk said it seems obvious that multiple women were involved. The identity of the first woman involved became clearer when she disabled all her social media BEFORE the news was leaked.
Women and accountability are two things that just never go together. So Ime Udoka takes responsibility for his actions but the other women shouldn't? The way these people go over the edge in trying to protect women is absurd. The Celtics have said that it was a consensual relationship, what other investigation from a law firm are you waiting for again? I love Kendrick Perkins for this. I missed today's show for some reason and I going to YouTube to search for the snippets.
I saw how Wyc dodged the question about whether this type of incident has occurred in the organization before and if so, how was it handled and how they hope to handle similar issues in the future. Slimy mf
Well that was the most BS press conference I've ever watched. Press conferences are meant to clarify issues but they ended up complicating them. Talmbout privacy, privacy to who? Everybody but Udoka? Y'all said it was a consensual relationship and now only the lady warrants privacy? There's something they're not telling us. Y'all better tell us if it was sexual assault. Or probably the lady in question is a top official in the organization or is the wife of a top official and so they used their power to protect themselves. Either way, this is utter bulls*it
birdman: Wait, pat bev is on the Lakers ? Playing next to Lebron? Cats make it their business to pester Lebron, and then later in their career find themselves teammates. Like Lance Stephenson. Im going to rofl the first time I see these guys together.
Android17: In the last 20 years, The Warriors have pulled the most ratings in the NBA finals. The most recent one still topped Lebron and the Lakers as well as Giannis and his bucks. If anyone cites COVID-19 tell them that every other shows' ratings improved as a result of it. I mean viewership not attendance.
You say?
Notice how the ratings dropped in 2019 once they finished playing LeBron. What does that tell you?
You can't compare TV shows to sports na. A lot of factors influence ratings. Abi did the 2020 Superbowl rating not drop too?
benji93: I don tell you say make you no too dey talk. You still dey chirp for one corner. Is Tatum a floor general? Besides if I was Boston, if you want Tatum, give me Lebron. That's the proper value if i wanted a championship within a year or 2. . But i am not surprised, Like Lebron like fans, always looking to stack the deck.
Smh. The Celtics need a floor general in Westbrook
Skrrrrrrr: One of them missed two years of Basketball, and could not play in back to back games. The other one missed significant time due to injury, and just when he got back, the last one had his ankle almost amputated by Marcus smart. All of them combined plus wigs and Looney didn't see 20 games together.
Android22: Andrew Maple Jordan Wiggins was so instrumental to this ring. But you guys just followed the media to drink the kool-aid again. Wiggins had a sub-par game (game 2 for e.g) as well but Curry needed only 1 before it became like he [Wiggins] was neck and neck with Curry for this FMVP. Come on guys. Even on here some of you started re-echoing this sentiment.
Wow. How I wish LeBron ever had a third option as good as this
birdman: sometimes the fun is in the ride. I wouldnt feel too bad if I was a celtic. Dem boys played their hearts out every series.
The Lakers priority this offseason should be to try and swap Westbrook for Tatum They desperately need a floor general. And they can't win with two no. 2s
Skrrrrrrr: Thoughts.... The Celtics need a real point guard, someone that can actually facilitate an offense, and read the floor. This would make the job a lot easier for Tatum and Brown. This series was won on Defence, the Boston defence limited the warriors to less then 110 points per game, they scored less than they did against Dallas, Denver and Memphis, the difference however was that the warriors no 2 defence Totally smoked Boston's offence while Bostons No 1 Defence couldn't do much again Curry.... He beat them over and over again. They never solved Curry even in their wins. The one game they managed to lock up curry, they lost. Going into the Western conferences finals, Doncic and Tatum were ranked as better players than curry. He owned them both. They aren't there just yet but they could be. The amazing thing isn't just the win, it's the fact that this warriors Team is not fully Blended. Their core played less than 30 games together. They have a very high ceiling. I expect to see them back here, this time next year....
Lol. Come on man . The core of this team had been to 5 finals before this year. Then you add two 17ppg players in Poole and Wiggins. In my opinion they were the most ready team in these playoffs.
greypencils: I hope this effectively ends the debate about the warriors needing Durant in becoming a dynasty. They just needed any effective small forward and good role players. Good times ahead. Poole and Kuminga heating up.
Without KD, they would have split the two championships against the Cavs
