According to some on this site it’s SO HARD for the refs to tell when he’s flopping even though we can all tell through the tv

If the Jazz want to hold on to that pick, they are going to have to try a lot harder with their tank. Might need to give Will Hardy food poisoning or something.

Never want to hear it again


Shai the best player in the game outside of Wemby. Anyone saying Giannis, Jokic, Luka is a flat out hater. Big Luka fan too but this guy is just relentless.

Shai is him. I'd only take Wemby in a redraft.

Ok sure lmao

Before tonight, De’Aaron Fox was 17-28 from the floor in his first two games of the season and 8 of 9 from the free throw line. I guess those games don’t count.


Cool story.

How about for his career?


Fox has a career field/goal percentage of 47%, which is well above average for a small guard. However, he is a below average three-point shooter (33%) and free-throw shooter (75%) relative to his position for his career.

I made my comment because he had two very good shooting games to start the season, and the first moment he has an off night, someone calls him a shooting guard who can’t shoot. I expect takes like that on Twitter, not here.

I keep playing with the tankathon, but Brooklyn keeps ending up with the 6th pick. I don't know if I could endure all this losing and get jumped to such an egregious degree.

Cam Johnson has forgotten how to score. I have seen him brick even open looks he normally makes.

Jokic can't win against Caruso either so pointless comment.

Okc took 7 games to beat a far less talented Nuggets team. Its sad that you already know Luka is a loss cause who will never win anything so you bandwagon the guy who has the best chance of beating Jokic. :lol:

Weak mentality and fairweather bandwagon fan.

Well now he'll be out for a few weeks with an arm injury, so that should help him reset.

Yes, Knicks lost due to Magic’s defense forcing the Knicks to have a bad shooting night

Who is Kobe Sanders? Is Tye Lue trollingbus?
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Luka is no longer motivated after Nico got fired, mission accomplished

Denver lead completely gone when Jokic sits. What a waste of him scoring 25 points.

Disappointing, the reserves have been pretty good this year. Looks like Jokeman will need to come in and take care of business.

Is it just me or is Avdija getting little media coverage for what he is doing this season? 25-7-5 carrying the Blazers to the playoffs.

Clippers have been hitting everything since that buzzer beater at the end of the 1st. Now 9-14 from three and on a 22-4 run.
