blatant foul on FVV by the ref, and no call.

The take is in.

The guy is about to put a 40 piece in his second playoff game ever lol. He isn’t the best sure, but “trash” is insulting

He’s just turned 23. He was a teen well into his NBA career, no idea why people talk about him like he’s this established known quantity.

Edit: he’s had a legit coach for 2 seasons, and in that time has completely changed as a player. He used to be a ‘will he score enough to cover his D’ guy, now he’s a positive defensive player. His efficiency stats are way up this year. Imo his biggest weakness is he’s not a cerebral player, but to his credit he does learn, constantly, over time. And he plays hard as hell and is always having a great time. He doesn’t get the calls, no idea why, I don’t think the Rockets are generally officiated poorly, and he’s anything but a diva, doesn’t flop…dunno. But if he got even normal calls, let alone star calls, he’d be a 25 ppg guy right now. Don’t believe me? Watch any of his highlight films, he’s hacked on like 1/2 of them with no whistle. And those are his makes.

I wanna see Uncle Jeff with a highlight dunk. He still has it in him. I believe!

Everyone knows you peak with your 2nd playoff game.

At the rim.

That's where they should be.

All of them.

:lol:

I jest.

But basketball is not a game for midgets.

Thats the motivation...you wouldnt like to acore 40 on a blowout and do nothing again the next game..he really needs to get physical and get to the lime when threes arent falling..

This is like the Nuggets dilemma with Murray. When he's on, they are a top team, when he has an off night, it feels impossible to win a game. Green can't have anymore 3-15 games, they will not win a game.

Reed Sheppard has a lot of work to do. Primarily in the weight room, because I am not sure how he is going to be able to get his shot whenever he tries to get in the restricted area.

Public execution most likely.

Probably not, while it was reckless from Draymond, he actually ended up hurting his own teammate.

Don't think Draymond gets suspended from this.

There is a thread about it on the GB. I included the full video with the other angles.

Nice to see Jalen calm after the game. Aware that it's just one game. Lauren Jbara bad as hell.

Well that’s just being inconsistent and being a bipolar basketball player, but not trash as he put it

Yeah I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It looks like he might of even tripped, and Draymond was holding him back with his arm and he was trying to fight through it and then he suddenly let him go and he stumbled forward.

I muted more people tonight than I have in the previous ten years as a registered user.

Who wins?
