What makes you think that someone's skin color determines if they can throw hands or not?
The racist comments on this forum that are constantly allowed never cease to amaze me.
Idk where got confused of me using racism is it bc I used the term white boy? Just how I was brought up. Idk anyone thats says caucasian, I just would never. I call black ppl morenos or morenas, very rarely say black. I'm puerto rican so we have our own slang I guess you could say. Boricua. Hispanic. Latino.
If u think I was sighting the white guy? Is that better? Idk what the beef is here. I've fought many white people in the streets, when I was in golden gloves... They're tough. I dont ever underestimate anyone white, black, spanish, asian, alien its not about that. U have to be confident in your fighting skills.

Randle got shut down by Collins and Gallo, that would never happen to KD, he will never shoot .298% from the field for a series. The Hawks defense looks helpless against an actual tier 1 star that is scoring a point per minute against them, stop looking for excuses for the **** series Randle had.
Deandre Hunter was on Randle most of the time. Collins barely guarded him. Stop it. Hawks defense looks worse now because their best defender aka Hunter isn’t playing.
It’s absolutely fair to compare KD’s situation right now to Randle. KD is the better player but this shows that even he can’t get the job done alone when defenses are just focusing on him, like the Hawks did to Randle. It just shows you can’t win alone no matter how good you are. You lying to yourself if you believe otherwise
DeAndre Hunter was apparently everywhere, cause you said he was destroying RJ on both ends in the game threads. The primary defender for Randle was Collins, they started with Hunter when Thibs had Payton in the game so Collins could guard him, when Payton was out the game Collins was primary with Gallo off the bench as primary. I got the numbers right in front of me, and I'm sorry to do you like this but Randle was 6-25 when guarded by Collins and 9-22 when guarded by Hunter, and 4-18 with Gallo on him. The minutes breakdowns were 16:22 with Collins on him, 16:18 with Gallo and 15:37 with Hunter on him. Everything you said was wrong, Collins and Gallo did the best on him and were on him the most, he had 6 turnovers on Collins, 4 on Gallo and 3 on Hunter, by every metric he did his best work on Hunter.
Nah, KD is playing a great derfensive team, Randle got clamped by Gallo, it is what it is. You lost the war in game 5, I am just hitting you with mixtape singles now.
Randle was out here shooting over double teams. That’s why the numbers look like that. Stop capping. I can even pull up Hawks journalists writing articles on how Hunter was the primary defender on Randle and did a great job.
And yes at one point Hunter was destroying RJ. Go look at the posts in those games threads cause I wasn’t the only one saying that.
You in denial that KD can’t win this series on his own. Now you making excuses like the Bucks is the 2004 Pistons. Nah, KD just getting clamped by 45 year old PJ Tucker and he got no one else to bail him out.
You hitting me with mixtape singles like you Bleu Davinci. Straight flops

It’s like when lil bitches make subliminal records, if it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it

Even worse is we got people in here saying they'd take Randle over Giannis, or that KD wouldn't have cooked the Hawks. We deserve everything they say we do.

Yeah, but what's your wife like?
She doesn't cook as well as bigjoes wife
Well, she's probably a whole lot nicer than you've said and I won't tell her you'd want to avoid an ankle sprain more than finding her with someone else.

KD at least plays defense. Jokic gives up more baskets than he scores. @chanel

Re: Around The NBA - Round 2 - New Thread!!!
I just want someone new to win a chip.
No more LeBron, no more KD, no more Kyrie...
Time for a new generation. I'm pulling for Giannis or Embiid.

First it was Hunter, now he was shooting over doubles? You can pull up anything you want, I got the cold hard data without any bias to it. Gallo & Collins clamped him, he shot lower against them than he did against Hunter. I see you using the primary defender stats all the time for Jokic vs Ayton, so do they matter or don't they?
I literally said KD can't beat this Bucks team like 2 pages ago, what we're not about to do though is pretend that Randle shooting .298 and having the worst offensive rating on our team during the playoff is comparable to what just happened to KD. They aren't on the same tier, they aren't facing the same level of opponent. Randle had a historically bad series, it's not like he was slightly below average, KD's game today would have been the best game for Randle.
Nah, I'm prime Kendrick, you Flo-Rida right now
