The little things!

[Ma10]

Since the NBA season is slowly coming to an end with all the important news, it's time for the really important topics. LoL! What are the little things that really annoy you? My top 10 in no clear order.
1. That now every second player wears a T-shirt under their jersey.
2. That Nike still hasn't managed to rework the ugly overlapping of the shoulder section. Hard to bear, especially with jerseys with pinstripes. 3. Jersey advertising or advertising for betting providers
4. Offensive 3 seconds, no longer relevant today 5. Back to back games against the same team
6. Doris Burke or Draymond Green
7. Double stepback or generally the very special interpretation, which is a step error
8. TV timeouts
9. That defense is hardly possible anymore because every slightest touch is considered a foul
10. Giannis at the free throw line

I think I could think of a few more things, but what are your things?

I think I could think of a few more things, but what are your things?

1. Draymond Green
Was cute as a side piece on the Warriors, but once he thought he was a superstar, he has been unbearable. Only person with worse takes is Gilbert Arenas

2. (Not very important, but still) Shannon Sharpe
Being loud and demonstrative with your superlatives does not make you good. Rarely makes points. Also, I dislike Skip, but how he left talking poorly of his former partner/co-host shows how small he is.

3. Luka-love
He is really a good player, but he has a lot of James Harden in him. Whines, looks for ref bail outs, and doesn't take personal fitness and defense seriously. If you make me take some truth serum, I don't know if I would put him top 10.

4. contracts/cap gymnastics
We all know the cap is going up, but also that crossing the 2nd apron is basically highly dangerous. Teams are paying role players such high proportions of their cap. Nic Claxton is SERVICEABLE. Might be not be top 30 at C. He is getting like 25 mils. Also, we are over here sweating over a hard cap 2nd apron when teams with higher payrolls and non-team-friendly contracts are out here adding pieces from air. GS is getting Heild, Melton, and might trade for Lauri.

5.
State and local income tax.
Not at all fair how Miami and other teams have a tax work around. Just like the proposed cap smoothing, all salaries should be "after tax" numbers and the teams can adjust the cap accordingly.

6.
Hate how guys get black listed.
Dwight Howard, Cousins, and more locally Lin were all basically bumped from the NBA before their time. Right now, WE could use possibly all three. Howard was a key contributor on a title team not too long ago and is clearly keeping in shape. Cousins played well last we saw him in a small dose.

7.
JJ Redick

8.
Players complaining about playing. You get paid a ton of money, your game is a production. Yes, if you want ALL of your money, you have to play. I get it that Hali had a legit injury, but others ruined the integrity so now he has to suffer because Kyrie likes to sit out games because it's Tuesday.

9.
Star treatment.
Still heated that Embiid committed a flagrant foul, should have been suspended for multiple games, and got the lightest slap on the wrist. Green, who I dislike more, did far less and got suspended in a deciding finals game.

10.
Bronny
Cute story, glad Lakers got him, he got paid, hate all the punditry. There are two acceptable stories 1) it's nice he gets to play with dad, 2) did other teams not take him due to threats. If the latter is true, we as fans, should demand penalties for the Lakers. This is akin to insider trading and should be considered a felony. Particularly if a team genuinely wanted Bronny with like the 20somthing pick, but Lakers got a first round pick for almost the last pick in the draft.

10. Mitch at the Free throw line

It's obvious ABC wanted a woman but they couldn't find someone better? McNutt is infinite times better! Doris is the worst I've ever heard.

i suggest renaming this thread to something like "10 little things that annoy me" or just "10 annoying things" since the purpose of this is to complain and folks here are real good at that

7. the 2-minute report - what is the point of this aside from deepening fan rage/resentment?

I read someone here compare Kolek to Stockton and I know for a fact he wasn't even alive in the 90s. Posts like those are beyond dumb!

if they ever paired Doris with Hubie it might literally make me sick

Agreed on all of these. #1 should in in prison, but whatever

I'm gonna add that charges and how they are called need to be re evaluated after Randle's shoulder dislocation. If a player is about to elevate, the defender needs to make a play on the ball, you shouldn't be allowed to slide in to undercut a vulnerable player.
