What's Steve Kerr ranting about ? All those fouls were there. He should have been given a tech for getting in the refs faces tbh

Flagg doesn’t have a NBA iso handle (yet?) or a strong enough body to bully through people (definitely yet).


his first step is also not quick enough to beat nba defense off the dribble. I would guess he ends up bulking up so he can start playing bully ball

What a clown. Easily the most hateable NBA player since Bill Laimbeer


2 rings Bill? Rebounding champ Bill? WNBA champion coach Bill?

The Sharif Abdur-Rahims of fans. They look committed in their gear and good seats, but but it's all empty stats and doesn't lead to winning.


To be fair, you cannot really blame Mavs fans for being disillusioned after what has transpired in the last 12 months.

Not as a SF, but maybe as a PF. 18 years old, you never know. He’s not who he will be athletically yet.

James Harden is quietly having a very good season. The problem is that the unction is 4-8.

He hasn't played this well in probably 4 years.

Green makes a lot of fans dislike Golden State, but damn Curry does the exact opposite.

I am sure Bill is a decent guy in real life but if you watched The Celtics City Doco on HBO, you would understand why us Celts fans dislike him.

But I take it back, just remembered Karl Malone, he is a lot worse than Bill (esp with his off court behaviour)

That Mavs Clippers game was a clown show, entertaining though. At the Clippers' age double OT isn't what they want to deal with

Damn the Spurs trapping Curry before the half court line. That’s acknowledging the GOAT shooter right there

No, not really. He’s kind of a prick in real life, too. He worked hard to get where he got as a player, though. Rich white kids (not sons of NBA players) don’t follow that path very often.

I don’t need a documentary. I’m 55. I grew up watching Bill clothesline Celtics and get punched in the back of the head in return. :)
