Around the NBA (and other Sports) 2022-23, Part 2

Been thinking about Giannis. He's kind of a weird case because he's an MVP and DPOY, but he isn't a go-to guy in crunch time and doesn't guard the other team's best player. I was going to type much more but that's the gist of my thought lol.

Giannis is the poster child for bully ball. Truly has no bag, and while being a bother around the rim isn’t especially great as a defender outside the paint. The one saving grace there being his ability to recover and use his length to get blocks from behind.

Definitely not my favorite player ever, but he has a championship so at least Milwaukee can revel in that.

OT ... Speaking of Bully ball, just wanted to say there are Freaks out there.. Physical freaks that is.. Just played and lost to a 6'5 290 Lb 13 year old. Literally could not move/stop him. Told him tonight is the NFL draft... He said Nah.. He loves BB

His bone structure was off the charts..

Tell Brad to get this guy on a 2 way.

Yam Madar's and Guerschon Yabusele's team are playing each other in the Euroleague playoffs. Here is a short summary of game 2:

When disqualifications were applied for those players participating in the altercation and those automatically ejected for leaving the bench area, neither team had the requisite minimum of two players each required to finish the game, therefore the game is considered officially ended with the score at the time it was stopped, 80-95 in favor of Partizan, which therefore now leads the series 2-0.

Yabusele is the french Draymond after all

I joke but obviously this has no place on the hardwood and I hope lengthy suspensions are forthcoming.

Jae Crowder “INSISTS ON STARTING IN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS” despite his team’s elimination from the playoffs.

From Jake Fischer. I don’t care about the Jaylen part, but if the Rockets are willing to move Green, they must feel really confident about getting Harden back.

Houston’s long-rumored potential reunion with Harden, the 76ers guard who holds a player option for 2023-24, in addition to the Rockets’ chances at landing other primary free agents and top-billing trade targets this offseason, were repeated themes throughout Houston’s conversations with coaching candidates, sources said. Middleton has been another potential target discussed throughout the Rockets’ coaching search, sources said. Udoka spent time with Harden as an assistant during the All-Star guard’s first season in Brooklyn. And Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown, whom rival executives are closely monitoring as he becomes extension eligible this summer, has been one of Udoka’s most public supporters after Boston suspended the coach following an improper relationship with a Celtics staffer. The Rockets, sources said, also addressed the idea of including second-year guard Jalen Green, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, as part of a package for acquiring established star talent.

As long as they're not traded for each other, I'm open to the idea.

So have the conspiracy theorists decided if the league will do anything for the Warriors to advance or are they wrapped up in lighting the beam at all costs?

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

LOL @ Warriors crowd yelling “Ref you suck”. They are kissed on the dick by the refs so much, especially non-calls on Draymond BS.

wait. Did Dante Exum HURT his foot/ankle in that fight?
also: Yabusele is a skid mark in Celtics history; long may he struggle to eek out a professional basketball career.

Watching the kings play defense against the warriors is just fun. They defend them tight. Rarely do you see the warriors get a wide open shot. Plus they attack inside fast after the inbound.

So...basically doing what we didn't do in the Finals

Exactly lol. Kings ain’t scared! Makes you think why our guys keeps on walking and barely crossing the halfcourt, instead of pushing and making these old guys run.

[Bar Fight]

We had no business losing to these dudes

[exculpatory]

Great W by the Kings in an elimination game in SF.
Fox & Monk are awesome.
Kick these mother **** to the curb in G7 on your insane home court!

Now time to root for the Grizz to whip the Fakers & Baldy!

[Triple7]

That’s how you beat an old team. Run Run Run. Attack them inside all the time. We can use this as a recipe to beat the sixers. Run them to the ground. Make them come back on D running. Chances are they are too tired to hit shots in the 4th. Instead of Tatum and Smart walking the ball, and letting their D set up. Those guys are old man. Let Embiid, harden and tobias run.
