That **** is worse than a punch or a kick to the nuts. There's way more intent and it's gross.

That's not basketball it's sexual assault. Even Josh's wife posted about it. Dude tried to grab Karl's dick too ffs

I commend Josh for not immediately punching that weirdo in the mouth.

You're gonna grab another person's dick bro? It should be open season on his bitch ass. Mitch needs to lay him out


wait. he grabbed MULTIPLE dicks?

i agree. that's SA. we''ve gone beyond basketball. clearly the idea is to get someone to crash out. better men than me, for sure.

coach brother jeff be like:

[substitution horn]

kevin harlan: and pj tucker is approaching the scorer's table.

reggie miller: oh. wow.

KH: pj tucker is walking toward jaylen brown...

RM: oh boy.


Yeah he tried to grab Karl's dick too but Karl slapped his hand away. Someone on the Knicks reddit pointed out that he did it someone else too

He should have been ejected.

Yea I gave up on PJ being that guy after the Draymond/KAT thing. Sad

I forgot which former player said it, but I guess NBA players really don’t wanna fight. There’s a very small percentage who do, and I get it, all that money n your perspective on dumb shyt changes.

Dunno if that’d be me tho, I always threw hands over petty shyt on the court or street ball lol… then again, risking getting KO’d on national tv and losing tens/hundreds of thousands in fines might make me smarten up too :lol:

ngl, these celtics Ls haven't bothered me. felt more like statistical regression while being up. the balls it took to get those first 2 wins told me a lot.

the detroit Ls were tougher to take because they made me question if we are really "like that." i feel confident we are in general.

this is the playoffs at a high level, y'all.

this whole scenario is why the regular season doesn't matter. they out here like wild animals trying to survive. it's just not comparable.

again, the first half gave me all the feels because i thought the brutality was beautiful. i felt at home at war.

i'm probably saying too much about myself.

:lol:
The Knicks fell apart on defense and the refs weren't helping us in the 3rd. I think its that simple. Brunson has NEVER gotten 5 fouls in 1 quarter since I
started watching him :lol:

The Celtics wont just let him do that so he will have to mix his game up even if he doesnt trust his guys..
I'm not saying he cant drop 50 against -just saying he will still need to trust his guys at times.

The ball needs to move. A huge reason for inconsistency is because one game we're sharing the ball the next its back to ISO ball. When we won game 4 everyone got touches.

If Brunson has to go for 50 tomorrow we're probably headed back to Boston for a game 7 loss.

Only the elite of the elite teams rarely have bad games. We’re not there yet. Most title winning teams have put up stinker performances every so often. We’re not quite there yet… I still think we win on Friday. The boys will be ready to fight.

They all have to step up and bring it. Everybody needs to be better than they were last game that’s for sure but if Brunson has it going then there’s nothing Celtics will be able to do to stop him. I think in this game he’s the last one I’m worried about

This is the game where we need to finally for once not play like garbage in the first quarter and jump out to an early lead and put them down. And I expect that

No I need Brunson to take at least 25 shots, go for 30 shots if he needs to.
