Giannis overratednmpo getting cucked by LeBron and company. :lol

[140]

DSJ not playing :cry

[Chinook]

Giannis is a low-key douche. People keep wanting to assign all this humility to him, but all I see is a dude with a huge ego on the court and a guy who scammed his teammates out of thousands of dollars off it.

Scammed?

[Chinook]

Scammed?

Yeah, his rookie season, he got all the other players on his team to give him their per diems so he could save money for his family. Dude was a fucking millionaire guilting people for handouts.

[RD2191]

Wow. That's a dick move.

[Chinook]

Wow. That's a dick move.

It was. And of course, I read about in it an article talking about how humble he is.

[raybies]

NO going nuts right now

[raybies]

lol they st8 disrespecting Green

[raybies]

So far it looks like the league is catching on with how to defend the Warriors.

[raybies]

didn't take them long to implode

[UZER]

Greek freak is just that, an athletic freak. Hes got no understanding of the overall game. He needs to develop skills, or he will get solved.

[RD2191]

It was. And of course, I read about in it an article talking about how humble he is.

Maybe it was giannis himself using an alias. :lol

[RD2191]

Pels looking good from 3.

[Mr. Body]

Brooklyn is scrappy and fun to watch. Not a lot of talent. Lakers shouldn't have given up on Russell.

[spursistan]

Dubs have looked underwhelming 5 quarters into the season..

[raybies]

yup^^^

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Spurfan is so salty about anyone potentially taking attention away from Kawhi, it's hilarious. Yesterday, Westbrook was "statpadding." Now Giannis is an "asshole" who "doesn't have any skills."

[Mr. Body]

Dubs have looked underwhelming 5 quarters into the season..

No hunger. Green is really important for them. Maybe even the most important.

[UZER]

Steph warps the court but that's not what gets teams in trouble. If he was alone, it wouldn't be as big a deal. You would scheme for him, guard him, and give up some, but you could handle it.

What makes Steph so dangerous is that fact that he has by far the second best shooter with an even faster release on his team in Klay, then stupid KD went and joined the team.

Any focus you out on Steph gets undone by the fact the Klay, and now KD, is always lurking break the defense's back. Now you're trying to keep an eye on those guys too, so Steph gets more daylight.

[raybies]

:wow NO playin the perfect game so far

[Arcadian]

NOP can simply alternate Davis/Cousins and constantly have the best center on the court (with guard skills) at all times...that is pretty damn cool, tbh

[RD2191]

:lol Spurfan is so salty about anyone potentially taking attention away from Kawhi, it's hilarious. Yesterday, Westbrook was "statpadding." Now Giannis is an "asshole" who "doesn't have any skills."

He's good but definitely overrated, call me when he makes noise in the playoffs in a very shitty Eastern Conference.

[Clipper Nation]

It's early in the season, but Dwight has low-key looked really good in Charlotte so far.

[raybies]

As much as i dislike Cousins antics, he's the most dominant player in the game.

[Arcadian]

:lol Cousins would fucking kill Green in a fight...bust his stupid gaping facehole

[RD2191]

Is..is GS coasting?

[raybies]

Dang man, this game is surprisingly entertaining.

[Clipper Nation]

The Suns are tanking so hard, they're making Brandoff Ingram look like a competent NBA player.

[raybies]

Cousins showing some savy lol

[RD2191]

How does green get away with harassing the refs so blatantly? I don't know if I've ever seen anything like it.

[RD2191]

Fuck off Green, overrated piece of shit. Blowing KD on your knees begging him for help.

[Clipper Nation]

How does green get away with harassing the refs so blatantly?

Because his jersey says "Golden State Warriors" across the front.

[raybies]

ok this is getting out of hand

[UZER]

Fuck off Green, overrated piece of shit. Blowing KD on your knees begging him for help.

Draymond doesn't just talk to refs...he berates all the time. And when they tell him to calm down, he purposely takes it to another level.

[UZER]

The league could put a stop to it right away by ejecting him a few games in a row, but since he's on baby faces team, it'll never happen.

[raybies]

every scrub in NOLA is having a career game

[SuperCam]

Lonzo good 1st qtr so far :toast

[raybies]

Remember when every team use to go at the Spurs like this. Want to see GS have to grind out an entire season with every team knowing what it takes to guard them. Then after 3 years of long runs, see if they have enough in the tank at the end or if they can stay healthy.

[RD2191]

Draymond doesn't just talk to refs...he berates all the time. And when they tell him to calm down, he purposely takes it to another level.

Yeah, it's insane. The league is obviously letting him get away it.

[TheGreatYacht]

Cousins cancering it up with back to back offensive fouls, stupid shot selection, no defense....

Unistatpad disappearing in close games per par....

Would never trade for these cancers. Jordan Crawford, Ian Clark, Darius Miller need some help

[raybies]

Yeah, it's insane. The league is obviously letting him get away it.
we jus salty tho

[SuperCam]

lol spurfan getting excited about goldenstate going down 7 at half on the road when a bunch of pelicon scrubs have hit threes they never would normally make :lol


Dubs by 20, tbh

[raybies]

the offensive calls were a little over the top to be fair. It seemed like the refs wanted to attain balance or make it seem fair, especially after he was clapping in everyones's face... His shot selection hasn't been bad and he's been the reason they been winning by so much. Haven't seen the +/- but it seems every time he goes out the Warriors make a run.

Still I wouldn't trade for him either.

[daslicer]

Warriors went on their run when DMC went to the bench. The offensive fouls on DMC were bs.

[daslicer]

The league could put a stop to it right away by ejecting him a few games in a row, but since he's on baby faces team, it'll never happen.

I hope one day Draymond gets to play on a team that nobody cares about like the Pacers. It would be fun to see him get ejected a bunch of times.

Those calls are exactly why Draymond does what he does. He knows they will bend over backwards to calm him down so they won't have to eject him.

[raybies]

NOLA has two players that are the worst starting at their position in the NBA

[raybies]

well it was fun while it lasted. In b4 the blowout

[Mr. Body]

How are the Pels still in this? They're a shitty team.

[D-Wade]

LAL 70 PHX 73 at the half... dat D :lol

[raybies]

alot of weird calls and no calls

[TimDunkem]

Dante Cunningham brings nothing to the Pels.

[raybies]

Dante Cunningham brings nothing to the Pels.
He's a decent rotation player for half the league but then you got him and Moore starting...

[raybies]

Cousins and Davis look spent. They need to get them some help

[raybies]

Durant for DPOY

[raybies]

Cousins giving up on the game. either that or he beat

[Arcadian]

NOP just needs one 6th-man-level guard to be highly competitive. I'm not even saying all-star level, just 6th-man level.

[SuperCam]

ingram longzo butt kicking tbh, spurfan can't :downspin:that

[Arcadian]

Damn, that should've gone to OT
