Happy to see some things never change. Zeller continues to have the worst hands in basketball. The human bobble. Meanwhile, Braun is going to be a player. Kid is smooth, active, and athletic. Hell, he is a player.

No matter what I'll never get down on Cody. That dude broke his nose 49 times for us and always played hard. That's all I'll ever ask of a player that's plays for us is to give it their all and he always did.

He was effort + for sure and absolutely elite at getting his face smashed. The GOAT. Always appreciated his smarts and athleticism, but used to frustrate the hell out of me watching him fumble the ball around on the boards.

no matter how old n bald he gets, he always seems to look like a highschool kid playing against men. He gets bounced and pushed around.

Looks like a rag doll against Jokic.

always has been, always will be. Clifford's defensive schemes did a lot to hide Zeller's inability to physically match up with strong bigs, but even then, they could only do so much. He was a decent starter but we should've always been looking to upgrade from him.

I know we can't get a guy like Jokic, but I'd love to have a guy as quick with the ball as Murray.

Embiid basically begging to win the MVP this season was ridiculous. Jokic is easily the best player in the league and it's not close.

The MVP is not the best player award. I have no idea why fans get so riled up over the MVP.


Finals MVP is the most important award imo.

Ish left our dumpster fire situation and won a championship, he has to be over the moon.

I've always wondered as an NBA player, would you rather play regular minutes on a losing team, or never play a single minute on a team that wins a championship?

For Ish, I'm sure he's thrilled to get that ring after playing for like 14 different teams

I'm happy for Ish. He seemed like a great teammate, was always ready to play, and provided a veteran presence the team needed.

p.s. remember when the narrative was Charlotte is stupid for moving on from Caleb Martin?

7.4/4.4/1.2 on 37.5/33.3/100 splits in 28.5 minutes

Good on him for the fluke ECF, but reality strikes

I hear Ja got suspended for the whole season. Good, I think that is a great response to his actions. Might have saved his life and career.

And some athletes had the nerve to tell Jah to "DO HIM". Lack of role models and lack of care from this country contribute heavily to this problem. Along with lack of accountability. Hopefully this will sway others from being gun toting vigilanties.

Lol, I had a feeling it might be because I had heard 30 games.

Sad that even Parody accounts got waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more sense than local/government officials
