NBA Season 2015 - 2016: Special thread

Haaaaa!

Kumbe sipo peke yangu niliyestushwa na kufukuzwa kwa kocha wa Cleveland Cavaliers!

Yaani sielewi kabisa...kocha wa timu yenye rekodi bora ukanda wa mashariki anafukuzwa kazi?

Hivi mtu unatakiwa ufanye nini hasa ili usifukuzwe ukocha? I guess kwa Cleveland ni labda ni kushinda ubingwa?

Lakini hata kama ni kushinda ubingwa, mwaka jana walikuwa na sababu za msingi kabisa kwa nini labda hawakuweza kushinda na idadi kubwa ya watu naweza kusema inazikubali hizo sababu.

Msimu huu bado haujaisha, hata nusu haujafika bado na Cleveland Cavaliers wanaongoza huko mashariki. Sasa tatizo la Blatt liko wapi?

Oh well....such is life, I suppose.

Wow, Griff says the prime reason for axing Blatt is the sour and unresolve relationship (my 'put' here but in the same lane) between him and the players led by (in most part) Bron.

According to one analyst, from the start, the players took Blatt as a rookie coach (something that Blatt says he hasn't been for quite some time). Even with all the last season effort of gluing LBJ with his cast to the Finals, the players (as witnessed from Irving's, Bron's comments to the media) still did not perceive him as championship-callibre coach.

That alongside Bron's and other players' gravitation to Lue's side during "sidelines" further stir the sense of disrespect to Blatt. As witnessed in the late coming of some key players during the most important games, LBJ's on-court own decisions (such as one when he ejected himself out), and players' open disdain of Blatt to other team players.

So Griff, decided to fire Blatt in the name of creating more coach-players cohesion and positive relationship. But... Some analysts say the move is likely to just put a man who will not get in the Bron's way. And most in the league are hinting,... The proverbial blood of Blatt will always be (theoretically and media-infused way) in LeBron's hands.

My dear buddy, Nyani Ngabu, hauko peke yako, mko wengi lakini nakuhakikishia ambao hawakushtushwa na kufukuzwa kwa kocha wako wengi zaidi. Blatt hakufukuzwa kwa sababu hakuwa kocha mzuri, hapana, alifukuzwa kwa matakwa ya the best player in the universe, King LeBron James!

Baada ya msimu uliopita wachambuzi makini walishatabiri kuwa siku za Blatt Cleveland zinahesabika. Kiini ni ule mkataba wa miaka miwili ambao wenye timu walioufanya na LeBron unaotazamiwa kumalizika mwaka huu. It all trickled down to a choice of who stays and who goes, either Coach or player.

According to sports sources the epitome of that tension occured in Game 5 of the Finals last year, when LeBron literally shamed Blatt into wiping a play off the board during a timeout and drawing up a new one. At that point, you just knew this wouldn't last. Blatt was done in Cleveland.

You know, no matter how much Griff will say that "LeBron wasn't contacted in making of this decision", "LeBron don't run this organization", etc, etc., many are sure that, The Cleveland Cavs top layer did make that decision WITH the "Best Player in the World" in mind, id est, they made that decision knowing that it's something that will sit well with LeBron.

This season, Bron alikuwa anajizuia sana asimpondee Blatt in the media ka alivyokuwa akifanya in the last one.

Ila kwa kung'ang'ania maamuzi yanayofanywa wakati game linaendelea na pia in signings and trading (the Love-Wiggins case) of players, the dude has left the whole NBA world with no option other than to think "You know, he might have his hands and mind all over it, it smells of Bron".

Only to suffer the third home loss and this time to the Bulls from Chicago, what a welcome to the new coach Lue!

Baada ya Blatt kufukuzwa sasa both east + west haijajulikana nani atakuwa kocha kwenye All-Star Game.
Sheria haziruhusu kocha asiye na ajira kufundisha ASG hiyo ni East.
Kwa West, rekodi ya GSW inakwenda kwa Kerr kama kocha mkuu na si kwa msaidizi wake na kwa bahati mbaya Kerr hawezi pata nafasi hiyo kwasababu mwaka jana alikua kocha. Hairuhusiwi kocha mmoja kuchaguliwa misimu miwili mfululizo kwenye ASG.

Lue Vs Walton?
Who Vs Pop?

The curse is real... I've a feeling hata hizo Finals wataondoshwa...

Even fans are mad...

In fact, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and their teammates left the floor to a chorus of boos after shooting just 9 of 22 from the free-throw line.

"I've been booed before, along with a lot of these guys," Lue said. "Every time I go to Philly I get booed, so, you know, that's not a big deal. It's something I got to deal with."

Nilisema kama wanataka kubadilisha style nzima, kama hawaitaki hii ya sasa the outcomes will never show up this season.. Inatakiwa upate na hao wachezaji ambao wataweza ku coup na huo mfumo...

Lue wants his team to play at a faster pace than it did under Blatt, but the Cavs aren't physically ready to up the tempo.

"I don't think we're in good enough shape," Lue said. "Early, we wanted to push it, we wanted to open the floor and we came out and did that and then we just dropped off the map. We got tired. I just don't think we're in good enough shape right now to play in the style that we want to play."

Nje ya JF, wengine wanasemaje kuhusu bao alofunga Steph Curry wa GSW against the Pacers? Hebu tuanze na FB's top20 comments;

1. That man is a beast
2. Lebron's time is over this is Curry's NBA now
3. Greatest NBA shooter ever (Cavs Fan)
4. He's next level right now. Video game stuff right here.
5. Can anyone argue anymore that the dude is the greatest shooter of all time and MVP right now?
   
6. I just saw magic happen...
7. This was so incredible!
8. That feeling when u rape the REPLAY button not because of the miracle shot, but because of his cute moves
9. I haven't watched basketball since Jordan left the game. This kid is the real deal! I will be watching.
10. That dude's hand eye coordination is impeccable
11. Steph be like "first one didn't count? Let's do it again then and make it count"
12. Incredible player, and a class act. His earlier 3/4 court shot was nullified by the clock earlier, but then my bro goes off from half court, does a shimmy!
13. When i was young, and before i knew it was fake, i used to wonder why the globetrotters didn't just join the NBA...well now we all get to see what that would look like!
14. This is greatness... I would call it a fluke if I didnt know he practices this all the time... plus he made one earlier that didnt count...!
15. Steph's hands are going to be highly coveted artifacts when he departs from this world. There's no way to describe how he can shoot like that other than GREATNESS!
16. In my opinion..The best freaking baller in the universe..literally speaking lol...Curry is phenominal
17. Only 2 other players have been able to get in the zone and play at this level consistently. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and now Stephen Curry! You are witnessing Greatness!
18. I'm a die hard Spurs fan, love my Spurs, but geez Louise man!! Stephen curry is undoubtedly a force not to be reckoned with!! I'm going to be a nervous wreck when it's them against my Spurs
19. Once he shoots that at 40% the games over. You can't stop it, you can't understand it. He might not need to show up for work Bc he will be hitting it from walnut creek in his hot tub. Lol.
20. Did anyone look at the beginning part of that video? Before he even got to halfcourt, he threw the ball around the defender without putting it on the ground.....AND WITHOUT TRAVELING! Only Curry does that!

I don't know what is the fuss about that Curry's shot?!? They make it like it has never happened in NBA!! A lot of dudes have made such a shot; and even to beat the buzzer. This is the kind of hype that makes you wonder! Despite this, no doubt Curry is the best player in the league right now. But, please, take it slowly.

Check these out:

Even Dwayne did it: Ray Allen and many others did it too, and even way further than where Curry made the shot.
By the way, that comment number 17 is the funniest and whackiest of all! What consistent was the guy talking about? How can you compare a dude with 2 good seasons with guys who have done it for their career, I mean, it is absurd even saying this.

Mazee, najua upo over excited na jinsi Curry na GSW wanavyo-run the league right now. But, I'm sure you are mature enough to know the boundary between being a fanatic and rational.

Listen to what Lebron said about Blatt, Tyronn and the team

Unless you prove how Lebron influenced the decision to fire Blatt, it will remain to be a mere speculation.

When it comes to San Antonio Spurs, you are the one who should be providing answers and not asking questions or are you by any chance starting to develop cold feet? Come on now, be a sport...I know you've lost twice tonight but don't worry you will have another chance come Monday night. The trouble is you are starting to sound like a whiner too, please I beseech ya, don't go that road. Now, now don't start accusing me of bibble-babbling whatever that is or that I need help. After today it doesn't require much effort to identify the one that very truly needs help. Remember...I pick winners, that's all I do all the time everyday!

Sometimes I think you are retarded!

How exactly did I lose twice tonight, pray tell!!!!!!!!

All I want is to see a good game hence my reaction to the news that Tim Duncan will be out.

I want everybody to be healthy and be able to play.

That's all there is to it.

So where you get you get the notion that I'm somehow starting to develop cold feet is beyond me.

But then again I'm bantering someone who is stuck on stupid so I shouldn't really be all that surprised.

Hahaha you know, it's funny in here sometimes!.

You have Tyta Vs. Nzi and now you have Mag3 Vs. Nyani Ngabu

The two pair who I think (in my now wrestling-locked mind), I should pit in a Tag team match. And it'll be a TLC caged match.

In this corner coming from the East (No truth here, all jokes) of Mars... Weighing 145 pounds, with the record of 14 wins and 2 losses... Nyaani Ngaabuuuu. Introducing his partner from the Eastern horizon of the Dark Side of the Moon... Weighing 144 pounds, with the perfect record of 13 wins all of em in 5 mins... Nnnzziiii!!!

In that corner, I bring the twins from the Western corridor of Vaalbara...
Weighing a whooping 188 pounds... With the record of 34 wins... Stand up for MagThreeee aaand Tyytaaaa.

Kangkangkang (now that should be the sound of the bell)

And I'll be the referee in the spirit of Scott Steiner!

You know it is super funny especially when you have someone who is clueless and who hallucinates.

Dude is saying I lost twice tonight.

What is it that I lost twice? He is imagining things that aren't even there and he can't even realize that there is no 'there there'.

Enter Tim Duncan being out for Monday's game.

All I was doing was express my disappointment that he is not going to play.

That's all.

It's not about being scared or anything remotely close to it.

But here comes Mr. Stuck-On-Stupid with his figments of his imaginations talking about this, that, and the third.

He is a piece of work!!!!
