Around The League - Bullock to Houston

I can't wait for Giannis to try to drive on Wemby and get called for a charge, then Brook to get him on a switch, post Wemby up and deposit him into the stantion

Wowww, some people can't get out of their own way. He was in line for a borderline max contract, lost that. Now his second chance is done and likely out of the league. Hard to comprehend how stupid he is. All to smash his ex girl's windshield. I thought he was under contract, how have authorities been unable to find him??

"Bridges allegedly violated the protective order in January by showing up at his ex-girlfriend’s residence and smashing her windshield. They’re currently involved in a custody battle, according to Allen and Counts. The warrant dates back to January, while the summons was issued Wednesday.

To this point, the Mecklenberg County Sheriff’s Office has been unable to serve the warrant, per Allen and Counts.

This kind of continued rage is what leads to women being murdered. How the **** are they unable to serve a warrant to an NBA player?

This may be the dumbest take I have ever heard. Why is our media so dumb?

Not to single you out but…

Because they now get paid by the click, and people such as yourself continue to happily/angrily click. Stop clicking if you want it to change, or at least want to be insulated from their stupidity.

More generally to everyone. We all know sports media is terrible. If you active engage and consume it and then complain about it being terrible, you may want to reconsider your approach.

Agreed...It's hard to avoid it though.

Plus this one was so egregious it deserves ridicule. I believe Giannis was at the top of league in 4th quarter scoring.

Mr. Multiple Sauces' take is just another residual he doesn't have a reliable jumper argument that idiots who're ignorant of 75-years of basketball history still cling to (like anyone actually thought this about Wilt, Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan, Kareem, Barkley, Dr. J., etc.). The "Giannis is not a go-to guy" garbage died the second he put up a 50-burger in a closeout Finals game (it was probably before that, but that cemented it).

I definitely don't blame GMs for taking the most hyped draft prospect in 20 years over Giannis to start a franchise. Nor the recent Finals MVP, who is also younger than Giannis. You don't need Broussard's tortured reasoning to get there.

I noticed during the Bucks game that a lot of dudes were shuffling their feet like this and it wasn’t getting called. The NBA doesn’t really take traveling seriously but I feel like that specific kind of traveling had been consistently called in the past and then during our game the other night I think it happened 3 or 4 times in one possession and I was losing it lol

It is gonna be really annoying if/when Wemby gets away with all the stuff that Giannis tends to get called for cuz HYPE. Lol at the flex after literally headbutting Chet square in the jaw.

Really rough week for the Hornets organization.

This was posted as a sign of KP's utility but all I see is Giannis dunking this. Also, wouldn't call this 'containing the drive'. Paul Reed put him under the rim. I realize that you've still got to shoot over him, but for those who can, this is easy money.

If Embiid had been playing and he was the one that got the ball in that spot instead of Reed he would've sent Kristaps into the 5th row

Am I supposed to be impressed by Jrue's defense on that play?

It seems like scoring is going to be down this year? Based on preseason. It’s a good time to have two of the top five scorers in the league.

So you don't have to click-in.

The criminal summons states Miles Bridges violated a protective order during a custody exchange on Oct. 6. It alleges he threw billiard balls at his ex-girlfriend’s car, damaging her windshield. During the exchange, he threatened to withhold child support and “take everything from her,” according to the summons.

Bridges is also facing a child abuse charge because there were children in the car when the vehicle window broke from the billiard balls, according to the criminal summons.

Cannot believe this guy made it back onto their roster after the first go-round.

Bilal is a pretty impressive 19 year old.

Yeah Giannis yams this, also Embiid would've injured KP on this play most likely....we already know Giannis owns KP though (if he's even available)

Celtics got a lot worse in the Milwaukee/Philly matchup and nobody wants to talk about it :dontknow:
