LeBron and the Lakers handled pretty easily by the Nuggets 4-1. Can't see even the Celtics challenging them over 7 games unless they get a significant injury.

LeBron still very much got it though. Was terrific last night.

Have always found Buff to be an eejit of the highest order. I'm not his target market but felt as if he'd disappeared for a while. His take on the foul restart was the first time I'd come across him in a couple of years.

Feels like he was going out of the way to be contrary.

"the six lads in contention with them had an average world ranking of 277."

I know these are facts but we are good at negative spinning



They're statements, not spin. I, for one, was delighted for the two lads. Lowry, in particular, has been struggling with his putting this year and it's a couple of years since his last win. McIlroy has been going on recently but has to deal with the fact he's being overshadowed by Scheffler.

My comment was a follow on from stating that I didn't believe there was a hope in hell of Trainer making that putt, as it was by far and away the most important and pressurised putt of his career, as evidenced by his lowly ranking. He missed it badly too. So shove your begrudgery comment up your hole.

Who is begrudging them anything?

Not a hope Trainer was ever making that.

When they were going down the 17th the six lads in contention with them had an average world ranking of 277.

That Sean O'Donoughue foul gets crazier and crazier every time I see it. Absolute madness to do that when already on a yellow. Ball was clear and safe too.

Lol. Complete nonsense. Armagh were brutal but got away with it because they're levels above the Down team they played. Not much more do it.

Quote from: gallsman on April 27, 2024, 06:59:38 PMTo think the Kilcoo boys thought they were too good for the Down team. Johnston just fell over at the end there.

Armagh were awful but Down are a dreadful outfit. Would have been a travesty to see them in the AI series.
Some speak from an Antrim man.

Good one.

It wasn't a matter of any sort of Down tactical masterclass shutting out Armagh and nearly pulling it off. Armagh were f**king brutal, O'Neill aside who was half decent. They should still have won the game pulling up. Has nothing to do with them "not being let play" or anything of the sort.

Down need a bit of S&C from the looks of things.

Down goals were a comedy of errors defensively. There was some running and handpassing in the build up, nothing more.

Genuinely shocked at how much credit people are trying to give down. They turned up to play as little football as possible, and when they did, were largely terrible at it.

Down played out of their skins.

What. Down were dreadful.

And that one the worst of the lot.

Down forwards turning away from the shot and into the tackle every time.

Absolutely dire stuff.
