Whitmore is outrageous

[Scraps 13,563]

Alpi may have a triple dub by halftime lol

[Scraps 13,563]

And they gonna blow this 20 pt lead aren't they...smh

[HtownHorn 14,726]

How does Smith have 0 rebounds?

I hope that blonde sitting behind Udoka is not his boss's woman.

Alpi fucked around and got a triple double

[Scraps 13,563]

Harden is working us over in the 4th

[Scraps 13,563]

Bunk ass non shooting foul

[Scraps 13,563]

Disaster 2nd half

[Scraps 13,563]

Thin skinned ref alert!!!

But Alpi

[BigOrange1 6,442]

all things considered, that was a pretty respectable showing on national tv.  sengun and whitmore in particular were very good.

[Rockethorn1978 6,093]

Can we extend sengun forever? Dude is the man of this team.

[Tylerocks 2,553]

I know they're young etc, but fuck they're frustrating as all get out in the 2nd halves of games.

How many double digit leads have they blown this year?

 

I think they'll grow out of it, but right now they're dog shit down the stretch in close/late games

[ChickenSandwich 9,843]

Brooks shot disappearing isn’t helping. 

[HtownHorn 14,726]

So 21 year old Jalen Green got 39 year old Draya Michele pregnant. Proving that he is also a fucking dumbass off the court.

 

This is savage.

Yeah what a fucking idiot

"Hey look guys I'm not gay I got an older slut pregnant!"

[Scraps 13,563]

Looking like dogshit early

[Scraps 13,563]

12/21 from 3 for Portland. Most of them wide fucking open.

[Scraps 13,563]

This fucking cliff robinson baytown lee college mofo is balling us up

[wildcat09 29,355]

I get the Jalen hate, but every time I want to give up on him he has a nice little 5 game or so run where he’s playing well and then I see him slam an alley oop in which he jumps about 73 feet in the air:

 

[Scraps 13,563]

The steal + dunk was better

[Scraps 13,563]

[BigOrange1 6,442]

insane fucking dunk.  

[Scraps 13,563]

Order restored

[Slacks 6,821]

When Jalen Green commits to play defense like Amen Thompson, shit will get extremely real. It's coming.

[mycox 582]

I said a month or so ago. It was bad coaching that led to Green's inconsistent play and poor defense.

Udoka won't put up with that shit

[Scraps 13,563]

Well he has a kid to think about now.

Just stop. That is never happening, just like this hot streak continuing. When Green plays actual NBA teams he's fucking useless.

He looked good against PHX and has kept it going.

I don't give a shit about Jalen's personal stats. Does he make the team better? The answer to that has been no for most of his young career, including most of this season under Ime. 

It has been much better over the last 4-5 games. That vicious dunk against Portland lit a fire under the team and they cruised to victory from there. Good stuff. Doubtful he keeps it up. As always, it's all up to Jalen himself if he wants to play winning basketball or not.

She’s a handsome woman, but definitely looking for a lottery ticket which Green gladly gave her. 
 

Athletes have terrible taste in women. Water is wet.

NBA Twitter is a hellscape.  The obsession with people’s lives off the court is so dumb. Stick to what’s happening on the court

Working on blowing a 17 pt lead

[Scraps 13,563]

Sengun just blew his knee out?

[Scraps 13,563]

Holding his knee and saying "my ankle fucked up bro"

[Scraps 13,563]

Fuck

[Macklemore 2,872]

FUCK!!!

[tx 3 putt 77,084]

[HtownHorn 14,726]

Yeah, that ankle was turned badly.

[BigOrange1 6,442]

that fucking sucks.  hope he is able to be back to 100% by opening day 2024.

Probably couldn't reach his ankle, but it wasn't his knee that got hurt from what I saw. No matter what happens, just shut him down for the rest of the season. It was a successful season for him, no need to rush him back to play out the string. We should be tanking from here on out.

If you mean give all of the minutes to the youngsters, then fine. But the Rockets have none of their own picks this year.

Unless theirs is in the top 4, then they get both theirs and Brooklyn’s.

Damnit.
