Who do you hire? Lebron's yes man. Lol

You hire a coach and don't empower him, his moves openly questioned by the so-called players. Do you really believe the hiring of Lue gives the Cavs a shot at a ring? Lool

Any of the Spurs or Warriors the Cavs are unfortunate to run into they would get smoked. The roster was hurriedly arranged, you have a SF who wants to be PG ahead of the actual PG, said SF barking and disrespecting his coach in full glare of everyone. You can never get the best from such system


Steve Kerr was also a rookie coach but the players followed his lead a. Its one thing to have an input its another thing to openly disregard orders by your superiors. It is only in sports you can get away with that crap.

Kobe had a big ego but he knew his place. Don't compare him to that diva who sits in his coach's seat, checks himself out of games and openly barks at his coach while a game is on. Kobe didn't do that

They will get to the Finals and suffer another crushing loss

A better point guard does these all and still put up high numbers as much as he can without the teammates feeling left out. I'm very sure you know some PGs are good at that . True PG doesn't add or remove the game's spice.

Decale:


NBA has evolved. Players have adjusted their roles to be more efficient

Nowadays, Centers shoot 3s, PFs get more rebounds, PGs have more points and SGs don't even go to the paint no more. The game has been modified for it to be equally efficient as the 90s. Does it change a thing? Probably less defence is seen but the improved offense balances it up and that's why Curry is way too versatile in doing what he does

Call me old fashioned but I like what Rondo has done this season. He takes me back to the days of Stockton and Nash and should be appreciated for it

birdman:


I will live with getting to the finals. Anything can happen there.

With Blatt's rotations, the Bulls had a really good chance beating the Cavs in the ECF - Gasol is playing like in the early days with Lakers and Rose is starting to blow by people again. If Lue has different rotations like I think he will, I like Cavs chances. Yeah, I dont like the fact that they chose Lebron's childhood friend as the coach even tho I like Lue as a player. But if Lue gets out of the east, he will probably live to see another season.


...And anything can happen in the finals.

Skywalker5:
Won by 30 points.wow. waiting for rematch on Spur''s home court.

Roland17:


I doubt the result would be any different in San Antonio.

Meanwhile Boogie went for 56 points, while Rondo threw 20 dimes in the loss to the Hornetts.

Skywalker5:


I think the Spurs should sack Gregg Popovich

Don't know whats wrong with the kings. Boogie and Rondo should be the new Shaq and kobe.

birdman:


ahhh, even Gasol wey I drop dey flog me. there is God in everything we are doing

what do yall think about this vid. I saw it on another nland thread - basically interviewing Hakeem and asking why he hasnt contributed back.

From back in the day when Hakeem was still prominent in Houston (he is spotlight shy and pretty much dissappeared after retiring), I had certain views about Hakeem, especially his interaction with the Nigerian community. I'll keep em for now - I just wonder if anyone else can decode his body language here. Is he making sense?

He's talking about security situation as he might have to walk around with bodyguards and all he really didn't make much sense to me,his tone of voice says it all(he is not willing to give back)

SIRcumalot:
@birdman
me personally would have preferred if he took a more active role in the sport in Nigeria,but i can't fault him for staying away I know I would too. the guy na correct guy you probably already know the story concerning his sneakers
I was also very surprised when I saw that the raptor's GM na naija guy.

Roland17:


I blame the main stream media who are still aggressively marketing Lebron as the best player overall in the league, its pretty frustrating especially when we all know Curry is King.

But trust "Father Time" he has never failed.

birdman:


Which curry? 2 simple questions for yall.

If I place Curry or Lebron on the worst teams in the NBA
1. whose team will improve more?
2. whose individual stats will not take a hit

ehen! so you see why LBJ is king indeed

birdman:


Yeah, he has that body language. Unfortunately, he is very willing to help - it just really isnt his strength. Being simple minded can be a good thing, but boy, in Hakeem's case I think it bordered on .

Even when he was playing, he never really exerted any influence. Look at how Kenny the jet Smith, a lesser player on the same team has way more business and social currency in htown. I remember shortly after retiring, Hakeem just disappeared to Saudi for like 2 years lol! I will always appreciate Hakeem being a stand-up character, but lawd, I can only imagine the people, especially Nigerians he could have pulled up while he had the opportunity to.

Donlittle:
fam, i didnt even know you were this much of a lebron fan.

one question: The self proclaimed king or The black Mamba and why?

SIRcumalot:
