It's natural, but if you lift your knee to a right angle it's always an offensive foul and sometimes they call it a flagrant.

terrible review, they just saw the damage on Sexton and felt obligated to give it to them for some reason. It would be more unnatural if that knee DIDN'T go up

If you guys are complaining about RJ, IQ and Ingram on D, can only imagine what you would say about Ball.

LaMelo is a better player than every single one of them by a wide margin. And no, Ingram is not a better defensive player than Ball.


yes he is

We can go back and forth but point it moot because Ball is a way, way better player. I just find it funny that now that we've won a few games we're too good for Lamelo Ball lol.

Its simply because he makes a lot of stupid decisions and doesnt provide any hustle to make up for it when hes not scoring.


Wow sounds way too negative for me. When I say this **** about certain players I’m a hater and too negative.

The energy I get is so much worse too.

No Boogie, you just spam entire threads non stop with your negativity. There's a difference.

Barrett’s been bad defensively and offensively. Just a slump but the team has been off because of the officiating taking them out of their rhythm.

We'd be up 20 if Gradey took RJ's minutes in the first half

The refs have never made an athletic move before. They have no idea how to jump in a specific direction with no balance

You go on and on about Barnes and Gradey when they have bad games.

God forbid you have to sit thru a half of RJ negativity when he plays like like garbage.

But don't worry, RJ will have a good 2nd half after a good talking to.
