  1. Huh? Booker played tonight
  2. Ugly game so far. Neither team shooting well. Refs suck. Kleber and Bullock in particular have been I've cold. Bertans had one supposed skill and he's not very good at it so why is he out there
  3. Is no one ever going to say anything about how Gary Payton II looks NOTHING like Gary Payton? Like, has there been a paternity test?
  4. I'm giving Lillard a pass until next season. No way to know how long he was playing with that abdominal injury. He would have kept trying to play through it if the team hadn't decided to tank.
  5. Criticizing the reaction is different than suggesting there was no reason to be annoyed.
  6. She rolls it down, starts trying to shout/wave at someone and you roll it up wordlessly, then? And that works out without conflict for you? C'mon.
  7. I will cut @ztejas a little slack after looking back at some data. I think the closes comp for Ja right now is actually Derrick Rose but statistically Russ at age 22 wasn't that far off. Granted Russ was playing next to KD at the time so that has to be taken into account. Ja has a better FG% and 3P% than Russ really ever did and Ja has a significantly lower turnover rate. Surprisingly for the triple-double king, Ja is roughly the same rebounder and defender. Statistics aside, Ja is not a bitch and Russ always has been.
  8. Y'all are giving @Ojo Rojothe business but that is some bullshit to roll down another person's window while it's raining to try and get the attention of the people you just had dinner with.
  9. Let's put it this way, Russ had been the best player in his own team exactly once in his career. That team didn't do shit. Ja will almost certainly always be the best player in his team but he certainly has been to this point in his career.
  10. It's not controversial. It's wrong
  11. If it fun being this wrong and doubling down? It's like you can't see the games or something.
  12. I'm sorry but Ja is a far superior player than Russ ever thought about being. His jumper isn't broke, his handle is just as tight, he is more clutch, and he is not a complete liability on defense.
  13. What you did, it has been seen
  14. It was a clean play by Whiteside. Luka had no business trying to embarrass him at that point in the game.
  15. Nets were 100% a better team before the Harden trade. Both immediately and positioning for the future. Although it must be said that Seth Curry was s good pickup for them.
  16. Isn't your wife Brazilian? You're playing with fire saying shit like that. Might FAAFO
  17. Whiteside is not the guy I would instigate shit with. Not because he's some kind of tough guy. He's just a dummy and won't know better than to actually fight.
  18. Why would adding money into the system drive out the parasites? They just got a new revenue stream getting companies to pay them to send kids their way for NIL deals. At the worst it just lets them do the same business out in the open that they've been doing in the shade for years.
  19. Phoenix is done unless Booker can come back earlier than expected. Tatum is not supplanting Durant. He's outplaying him in this series for sure, but it's hard to ignore the context. Boston is a much better team top to bottom than the Nets right now. Defense has been a struggle for the Nets but the big thing for them has been giving away 3-5 unforced turnovers every game. Like when KD thought Kyrie was going to slip the screen instead of popping to the corner last game. That just can't happen if they wanted to have any chance. The Nets have one more season to get it right next year before the window starts to close.
  20. Very ref heavy game in New Orleans. There are lots of bitches so it's appropriate, I guess.
  21. You assume there were any other suitors for Harden. I don't remember hearing about any other offers and can't really imagine who would have stepped in with a reasonable offer. Simmons may have given them a goose egg this year but Harden was going to be an active negative force for the team.
  22. That artist was very generous to his hair.
  23. It's akin to a travel or a foul. Which is to say, it is a tool refs use at their discretion to control a game. It is distinct from travels and fouls in that, while it is as ubiquitous as those two infractions, it is typically of no consequence to the outcome of any particular play, including the foul shot being conducted. It would be a nuisance for the refs to call every infraction but calling none of them would lead to escalation of the violations such that they might truly begin to impact the outcome of a play.
