Slow Mo doing fathead things

dude is so ing trash. What a frustrating player to root for.

[skin27]

They're doubling him every time he touches the ball. It only proves my point that you can build a good defensive team but if you don't have other playmakers then you are basically assed out

Nah he just playing terrible, too many missed layup early on.

Slow Mo doing fathead things

He ing killed them this series

[John B]

Jokic showing he’s the MVP with almost triple double on top of 40 pts.

[Tyronn Lue]

Joker is no joke.

[John B]

Jabbar, Hakeem, Shaq, Russell, Wilt. Has Jokic cracked top 5 all-time centers yet?

[Pauleta14]

Draymond is really a terrible addition to the TNT crew

Dude just destroyed a peer (Gobert) on national tv like it's nothing...

Either that or he just put a fire on Gobert’s behind to get him going. I’d take it as a challenge. Hey he’s the DPOY right?

[MarioSpeedwagon]

Oh yeah I had to tune in for about 20 seconds before seeing who you guys were talking about but wanted to see the picture because if that's Starks god damn he has let himself go.

He don't look that bad

He don't look that bad. Remember the mid '90s is like 30 years ago now. Also, when you get really old you have two options put on a little weight and not have any wrinkles a little bit like a balloon. Or you can stay skinny and then your skin all wrinkles and shrivels up like an uninflated balloon

I don't care about Gobert and wasn't talking from his perspective.

I just find weird and a lack of class (oh surprise from Dray!) that an active player talks that way about another one while analysing a game on TV. Especially considering their past

Love or hate Draymond, but he’s there because he attracts attention. Now it’s not a first time that an ex-nba-player-turned-broadcaster give it straight. It’s locker room talk. Shaq says the same to Embiid, play big, stop shooting outside, etc. Coming from a former DPOY, Gobert needs to take that as a challenge.

That's a long story and there's a long beef between the two who've been going at eacher through social medai, ITV or pressers for years now. And it's not just Green, Gobert has been other NBA players' target for a while now, starting by Shaq.

Whether you like Rudy or not, (and that covid stuff was obviously a mistake) , the way he's bullied sometimes by wannabee tough NBA guys is indeed pretty weak and sick. But he's french, he got the big bag, he sometimes showed emotions publicly (crying in presser after not being an all star a few years ago) so I guess he's an easy target for "gangsta" millionaires.

Again, not about Gobert (whom I not fan of tbh). It's about the principle. Class and respect have become too old fashionned

Draymond is not a former player turned broadcaster (in that case I wouldn't mind). He's still playing and it chnages everything to me

NBA playoffs 2024: Why do so many players have beef with Rudy Gobert?

I agree on Gobert, never been a fan mainly bc of his character and sensitive reactions but I find it very weak ethically to use the TNT platform to shoot on an ambulance when clearly even if I'm not a fan of his, the fault is on the Wolves coaching leaving him on an island vs Jokic.

Everybody agrees Gobert isn't the best individual defender in the league, not even close, he got the DPOY for his (alledged) collective impact

Anyway, my initial point was that Draymond is a terrible addition and his BBIQ is vastly overrated. He needs to get over himself before he's able to bring any value

[heyheymymy]

lol saw that Starks watching the game but had no idea it was anyone special. Was surprised a fan was walking that far out to the baseline like his seat en led him to that range lol

Nothing will happen because they are VIP. Bet they got a talking to though. He was insanely close to the active game play. Def looked wasted too lol

[lefty]

Starks
undesized grocery bagger
Jordan's compe ion at the SG position

[MultiTroll]

Cavs at least hanging around.
85-79
Morris the POS with b2b treys.

Not getting stops tho.

Celtics with the Warriors level of opponent injury luck this series.

[spurraider21]

Courtside is unlike any other seat, the game looks so much faster and so much more physical and you realize how ridiculous of athletes these guys are when you're seeing it right from the floor. It really is a completely different experience than even second row seats. I have been to a playoff game against Magic & the Lakers in the second row and a scrub regular season game directly on the floor and the floor seat experience was way better.

you were watching plumbers and accountants from the 2nd row tbh fwiw imo

of course they didnt seem that fast and physical

[baseline bum]

This was pre-AIDS Magic tho

[skin27]

SGA game is really similar to derozan.midrange game

[Strategic]

Mavs dunking with ease and Holmgren not even contesting. Glad we dodged that bullet

Now it's OKC laying the egg at home

A banged up Luka nearing a 30-point triple double. Bananas.
