Which *I think* Griffin basically stated as such during training camp, but we haven’t seen that or any kind of defense

Let social media dweebs and Realgm general board specimens have their dumb takes. I'll enjoy a nice win.

That was not Jason Kidd. That was, I believe, Woelful quoting Caron Butler

Agree. This is the type of game that turns seasons around. Or in the Bucks case sets them off on a ten game win streak.

What a journey Giannis, you're a legend!

He's from Georgia?

I thought Jerryd Bayless said it. Something like Giannis will never average more than 17 points a game. Maybe that's a different thing.

Woelful literally would sit in his underwear on the couch and tweet just to troll this board. I have that on a pretty solid source from back in the day.

I’d bet on Crowder he was right behind Giannis running down that tunnel.

Like maybe it was some grand scheme but I think the most likely scenario is the dude was asked an assist for the ball since it was his first points and the coach was trying to do him a solid. Like yeah it should be Giannis but 99% the guy can keep the ball for his first points. I don't think Rick and a bunch of guys were in on it.

Dame’s quote seems to indicate at least some of the Pacers were upset Giannis went back out there to score more.

I mean if the Pacers weren’t upset and being petty, why did every player besides Hali and Nwora leave without shaking hands?

Being mad at dudes for doing what they are paid for is always such a loser mentality.

ReginaldDwight · Post #180 » by **ReginaldDwight** » Thu Dec 14, 2023 5:07 am

Rick Carlise and Steve Kerr should be politicians with the way they try to spin the narrative in bad faith. How the hell you gonna say theres a bruised rib minutes after said incident. Is their GM my 88 year old grandma
