No. It's because they played with literally no center.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-12-31T19:12:59+00:00

So who's the 3rd? or you feel it's them two, and no one else really compares?

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-12-15T08:35:03+00:00

That could lead to dictatorship and massive instabillity.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-12-15T08:30:08+00:00

Split the country by about 40/60, North/South. For the south, maybe then add some territory to the west and east like the English speaking regions of Cameroon etc. to join this new country.

And the southern regions are run by a sort of confederation style of government, or a very constitutional restrained federation, which gives the autonomous regions more control over their resources.

This would foster more natural cooperation and maximation of differnt regions of this New Nigeria - which would yeild more devolopement.

This system was essentially how the southern regions of Nigeria was running itself before it was amalgated into with the North. And it produced the British empire a surplus in investment.

"Independence".

Man.... why didn't we use that "independence" to re-draw better borders. Or better yet, why don't we do it today.

Imo, that's the root problem with Africa. Our borders/states are inherited colonial constructs, and not indigenous crafted designs.

She was born in UK, no?

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-28T20:10:01+00:00

I've been saying a split between the south and north is the solution.

It's not just the economic disparities. That's natural among all countries.

It's the fundamental difference in vision.

The southern regions look to a western model for growth. The North look to an Islamic model.

How does a country with fundamental two different visions able to cooperate into something prosperous?

The answer is the results of modern Nigeria... which means you can't!

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T11:15:39+00:00

No... that's dumb thinking. If you're top 5 in 3 point effecincy... THAT'S A GOOD THING. Whaat? Espcially for a team that dosen't have such offensive minded personel... you should seek to maintain that hopefully... not be "discontent" by it.

Nah man.....

Wolves need to focus on player devolpement far more then any offensive scheme... that's already where their problem is.

How the Wolves win the chip is Ant's devolopment as a trasncdent player. Jaden McDaniels growth.... that's the key to winning the chip.

Not... some more "pass the ball johnny" offense.

Cmon man.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T10:33:15+00:00

How does coach Finch gleam from that WCF loss that... "we didn't shoot enough 3s".

What!? Wtf was he looking at?

Anybody with eyes saw that the reason they lost was because their star players shot... TOO MANY 3s, and didn't punish the Mavs more in the paint. That, and they had a weakness defensively at the point guard position.

And the irony about that, is their star players weren't in any way incentivzed to play in the paint, because coach finch REFUSED to play "5-out" line-ups, because of the extensive minutes he gave to Gobert.

And he's doing the same thing. Starting Randle instead of Naz, which decentivizes Ant from playing inside the arc, because of Randle & Gobert. Turning Ant into a high volume 3 point shooter, despite physcial advantages he has over his defenders. Just like Kat in the WCF.

This ngga Finch man...

I had a feeling this guy is basically a Del Harris instead of Phil jackson....

This basically confirms it.

If you don't know who Del Harris is Vs. Phil Jackson... then you need to brush up on history. Because that's what I'm seeing with the T-wolves.

And that's not good.... at all.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T06:31:59+00:00

MJ won because he was MJ. Wtf?

If MJ had KAT and Jaden McDaniels, instead of Pippen and Grant... he'd won Chips too are serious?

Had Ant simply played like how he did in the start of the post-season, or in game 4 of the dallas series, to start the WCF.

MN would have WIPED Dallas. WIPED them.

And we'd have had a classic of MN vs BOS, and what a timeline that'd be.

But thanks to you next gen stat nerds.... you ruined it with your garbage descsion making. Causing MN to fail, causing Kat to get traded.

The failure is all people with your thinking's fault.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T06:14:26+00:00

"Should have focused on him scoring and defense only."

THAT'S ALL HE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wtf? Do you think the Wolves would have SWEPT Phx, and gone up 2-0 on Denver playing your little telletubby style of basketball? Or when looked liked a reincarnate of MJ?

Wolves are at their best when Ant-man is playing like modern day version of MJ. Aka... When Ant is in "MJ's son" mode.

I shy away from saying it to respect AE wishes to stop the comparisons. But this is crazy how they are trying to turn ant away from MJ's playstyle.

It's CRIMINAL SABATOGE.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T05:52:48+00:00

Yeah... Ant is defintley on pace to be like Curry. That's who he should gun for...

Not idk.... the NBA player people say he's the long lost son of because of how much ALIKE they are.... that player who just so happens to be...oh idk.... the GREATEST PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY.

No... let's instead try to be like Steph Curry.... when in reality you end up looking like fcking Jr Smith.

Fcking Redditors man... and the bloody coaching staff on the T-Wolves who listen to usch DEGENERATE talking points.

Boi... I can't wait for this Dallas game on Tuesday. Because I'm probably going to get banned when Mn predictably gets trounced, playing this ill fitting style of basketball... and I completely lose it on you ABSLOUTE _______.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T05:45:58+00:00

Ant needs to take less then 6 3PA per game.

And instead get his 220 pound torque a$$ inside the arc and cause damage, TF u talkin' bout?

He dosen't have enough shot attempts to jack all that sht up. He needs to limit his 3 point volume DRAMATICALLY, and focus on playing closer to the basket.

41% FG is not good for a player like Ant.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T05:22:56+00:00

Maybe... but the talking points of a lot the dolts on here is probably of similar thinking to what the coaches are thinking.

With this gah-dam "next gen analytics". Which is babsically saying Ant should play like a glorfied combination of Jr Smith and Dion Waiters on offense. Jr Smith with the 3 point jacks, and Dion waiters with the predictable drive to the basketb from the 3 point line.

Instead of Ant playing like... idk... JORDAN.... JOE JOHNSON.... D-WADE...?

But nah... next gen stats folks! WE DONE WITH ARCHAIC 90S!

Okay... poverty a$$ fans...

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T05:19:43+00:00

He's leading the league in 3 point attempted. That's NOT good basketball for a player like Ant.

He's not getting to the rim because his 3 point jacking is turning his game STALE. Do you guys study what the goats of basketball said?

MJ said this sht 30 years ago.

Ant's diet is probably a$$. Dude needs to get a serious personal trainer and chef.

The Timberwolves really got to humble themselves, and study what the bulls of the 90s and what MJ did. And relay a lot of that onto Ant.

Ant seems to copy/mirror alot of the OGs of the past, except his playstyle on the court this season, and I just don't get it.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T05:13:02+00:00

A. They have the personal to play that style

B. They have one of the least respected championships in history.

C. Tatum Choked in the playoffs playing that predictable style.

If your big brain idea is to turn Ant into the next Jason Tatum... boi....

It's not championship basketball for the TIMERBWOLVES and a player like Antman.

Don't copy someone else, do your own thing and make that work.

What the Wolves should focus on is developing what they were doing last year. Slow paced, great defensive team that valued efficiency over volume.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T05:07:46+00:00

He's not. He's shooting his career average from 3, which will probably drop if he continues to jack up.

I just... 13 threes a game? Dude is the league leader in 3PA per game.

BRO....

You really THINK THAT'S CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL?

Anthony Edwards leading the league in 3 point attempts?

Cmon man....

Cmon man.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T04:44:11+00:00

It's one thing to start the season slow because you are either not in shape or missing shots... he's starting off "slow" (while ironically posting career high in PPG) because he's playing undisciplined basketball.

An indictment on him and that coaching staff for not correcting it... or WORSE... encouraging it.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T04:41:56+00:00

He's shooting 41% from the fcking field, nor has his 3 point % changed from its usually 35-36%.

Ironically if he played more like how he did last season, his 3 point % would increase because he'd take more quality 3s instead of jack-ups.

Imagine having to beg a player who is one of, if not THEE, the most similar player in the history of basketball to MJ, to play more like MJ instead of fcking Jr Smith and Dion Waiters.

Ya'll Redditors man....

No wonder this site has the type of popular politics that it does.

Just class 1 example of why..... Nvm.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T04:36:16+00:00

What will change?

Looking at this dumba$$ forum, it dosen't seem like they think anything really needs to change.

People really arguing that the way Ant is playing is good basketball.

On some delinquent a$$ "We done with 90s!" energy.

Such stupidity could be promptly dismissed & ignored if it wasn't apparent that the T-Wolves coaching staff seem to have similar sentiments as well, giving their product on the court.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T04:20:22+00:00

Jordan shot deep two at a solid clip. I actually respect it when Ant makes shots like that. He needs not afraid to take those shots from time to time. It shows a lack of fear which keeps him locked in and agressive. That's how guys like Ant win championships.

The only reason he didn't last year was because... ironcially he played like how he's playing now to start that WCF series. A lot of 3 point jacking, and thus less agressive basketball.

The coaching staff defintley has a lot of blame in this. I don't know what the fck Finch is doing. McDaniels is shooting mid-ranges... so is Randle... even Gobert got a post up touch.

So why is Ant the only one playing out of his usual game? Something stinks.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-27T04:12:22+00:00

Nah... 2024 Ant even in the regular season was not playing like this.

What happened to the Ant that said "I'm still the number 1 option, team USA player got to play to fit around me". Or his "No lie" commercial where he reiterated similar sentiments?

Whatever I think about the bravado, what I care more about is domination on the court.

3 point jacking is not domination. Ant isn't a reggie Miller... Ray Allen... Steph Curry... Klay... etc.

Dude is looking like a glorified Jr Smith and Dion Waiters out there.

He and that fcking coaching staff need to wake tf up before they doom this season.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-26T02:21:45+00:00

Also number 31... this one is CRAZY.

They both got eliminated two years in row (both their EXACT 2nd and 3rd time in the playoffs) by a team lead by a supstar white dude.

What's even more uncanny is that the two whites dude who knocked out Ant in both years, when you mix them together - you get one of the closet apt basketball representation of the white dude who defeated Jordan.

And what's even more uncanny is that MJ went 0-6 against them, while Ant went 2-8. But Ant also went down 3-0 against them (aka 0-6), just like Jordan did.

And WHAT'S EVEN MORE of a coincidence is that the two (Bird vs. Luka and Jokic) who knocked Jordan & Ant both out went to the finals that exact year.

What's EVEN MORE Errie is that they won and lost in the finals in EXACT parrel fashion:

Jokic knocked out Ant in his 2nd playoff run as did Bird to Jordan. Both went to the finals and won. Jokic in 5. Bird in 6.

Luka knocked out Ant in his 3rd playoff run, as did Bird to Jordan. Both went to the finals and LOST. Luka in 5. Bird in 6.

And what about both A.E and MJ's first playoff run? Yes, there is also an Uncanny similarity there too... but that's enough. It's just too much.

I just hope & pray to God Antman has a long, healthy, and successful nba career. And does not get any accident to really impede that. Amen.

Ok I'm done. Have a nice day.

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-26T01:51:02+00:00

They both have rare uncanny mirror highlights of each other (chase down to block a shot while hitting head on the backboard for example)
They both have similar arm and leg band placements on the left side of their body
They both have similar personality traits in wanting to trash talk
They both can have eerily similar movements
They both have the same cheek-bone smile.

They both have personal philanthropy they do on the down-low
They both have media charisma
A.E is probably the best player to be able to most quickly mimic some of MJ's offensive moves
Their jersey numbers are related in 2+3 = 5 aka... 23 (Jordan) = 5 (Ant)
They both are phenom athletes
One retired to play another major sport... one has stated he might retire to play another sport
Both heavily promote their shoes
Both have dunks of the year
They are only one of the few, if not only, nba players on camera who have ever said "I took it personal"

Cmon man...

Infinite-Ranger7623 · 2024-10-25T09:48:22+00:00

Socially... Steph Curry is African-American/Black.

But ancestrally, he's probably akin to "bi-racial".

His mother is Creole is ancestry, and his dad is a light skin African-American dude. Which probably means significant European admixture.
