GAHHHDAMNNNN, glad that trainer fried him

Honestly most of the guy’s on Gil’s arena sound bitter all the time
From Jennings, to K-mart, Gil and nick young
They just yell the entire show, can’t even get thru a take

Also Gil says some pretty messed up stuff about KAT, pretty insulting stuff
I know everyone wants to get clicks in today’s age, but for what it’s worth, KAT never says anything bad about anyone else, and for that I have a ton of respect for him

This was 2 days ago I believe. Super interesting take and kind of how I view it as well. I find it a bit harsh in regards to losing in the first round and making it to the finals and losing being the same thing to him but I kind of get it as well. This is why I was more at ease with the Pacers series and game 1 and everything because when I saw OKC just destroy the Wolves I knew we stood zero chance against OKC. Beating Indy 4-2 and then losing 4-1 or so against OKC would not have made a huge difference for me.

It is interesting that Draymond essentially says this team is not good enough to win a title and needs a superstar player to be really a championship calibur team. Again, I kind of agree with him.

Thibs aside, the JB/KAT pairing looks iffy and I think almost all knick fans feel it.

Draymond is truly an idiot, and I implore anyone that reads this to go to their podcast and leave a bad rating and review. It’s a dreadful listen. We must deplatform fools. It’s good for the planet.

Brandon Jennings is probably running out of money and is trying to “shock jock” his way to podcasting relevance. Everything out of his mouth is negative nowadays.

Thanks. I actually googled it and saw this. Seems like he just randomly is criticizing him. I thought maybe they had a personal history or something.

Apparently, the Suns owner is just hiring Michigan State guys, including his new coach

If the Pacers aren’t allowed to play defense, it’s going to be a sweep. The refs let the Thunder play freely on both sides of the ball.

Indy and OKC incidentally were the runner-ups in the first two in-season tournaments.

It is not the end goal of course but I hope we still take the next one seriously. Would be our best shot at simulating a playoff-like environment early in the season, especially with a new coach.

Eating pizza outside of NY/NJ is weird.

I haven't tried Chicago or Detroit pizza but again, eating pizza outside of this area is weird.

Four of the most ignorant people to ever play in in the league. I dunno how people can listen to that garbage. Gilbert especially is the literal definition of a man child.

It's odd how these dudes who think they're so manly and tough can't keep Karl's name outta their mouths when he just minds his business.

Weird behavior.

Yall got good pizza in CT??? My bad :lol: it's been ages since I've visited.

If it ain't made here or in the city I refuse to eat it. I couldn't imagine going to Florida and looking for pizza...they eat cardboard topped with marinara and cheese

You know how many people from NY/NJ live in SoFlo? Every day they move by the thousands. Couldn’t begin to tell you the amount of people who came down here n opened up pizza joints. It ain’t a bunch of hillbillies wearing overalls flipping dough down here homie lol

You never heard of Frank Pepe?

To be fair, once you get north or east of New Haven it's all pretty mid.

Portland has some good pizza joints but it's not consistently good like tri-state. You've gotta know.

There are also some awful ones that think that lots of toppings = good pizza.
