Carlisle benching Luka, even briefly, should be an example for Brad.

kl has been missing most of the second half (had a monster dunk) after pg took the first half off.

pg helped rondo wrong. i wish jays had the luxury of playing as poorly as kl and pg do at times without people calling them all sort of overrated and more. our guys our 24 and 23...

Just finished the fantastic Bucks-Heat game.
That's how it's played. Both sides, both ends.
Post game interview was ridiculous though :lol:

Heat almost stole one and but they should
hold at home. Series could go 7 games.

I saw UConn fav Caron Butler coaching for the Bucks.
He got the ref to finally call 10 secs on Giannis FTs.
He was pretty active on the sidelines for an assistant.
Hmm

I think Patrick Beverley would be a great fit. Causes problems on D. Scrapie and will get in your face.

Nine blocks from Williams? Kid looked good out there.

I’m happy that Melo is playing well and making me eat ****. I was very wrong about him. He’s carved out a very nice role in Portland. Next season, I hope that we can utilize Jabari in the same manner that Portland has been using Melo.

Kawhi Leonard has rings. Paul George is the most ridiculed superstar player in the history of the league though. Dude got clowned hard last year.

He can never stay healthy, we already have enough injuries every season, we can’t go in knowing about a walking injury and expect he’ll not have them here with our track record. Love a dog though! I agree with you if health wasn't involved.

Interesting.

Edit: Just noticed it was brought up. Surprising no pushback though.

Except when people forget that when it comes to criticism of the Jays, there are always comments about how "stars wouldn't have a game like that!" with plenty of and1 to accompany them. I have had to bring up last seasons playoffs where in game 7 both PG and KL didn't score more than 15 each (IIRC). Let a Jay do that in the regular season and look at the reaction. They have to be good/great every game or it's as if they aren't worthy of accolades.

Saying KL is a champ just further proves my point, even the best have terrible games and some have many in a row (Playoff P)! Stop expecting the Jays to never have them. JT barely had an off stretch in shooting after coming back from COVID and look at all the crap people said.

I'm not saying they don't deserve criticism, I'm saying people could at least try and be fair about it, stop putting other stars on pedestals while only using their good to criticize Jays when they have bad games. I don't want to question whether people watch other stars enough, but something doesn't add up. It doesn't matter whether people put the young Jays verses the 27 or older or guys in their age range, they judge them on an unrealistic level. I see Comedian has to bring up stats all the time in defense of JT.

I'm not even talking about those who shall not be named, they hate just to hate because they don't like a guy, that's a category all on its own.
