Monk didn't play last night?

Boston Chowder (15-2) vs Atlanta Sweet Peach Tea (3-15): Kyrie Irving went into psycho mode, the moment he had to wear that cannibal mask from Silence of the Lambs. Last night, Jaylen Brown and "Channing" Tatum busted out as the C's stretched their win streak to 15 games. Remember when the C's started 0-2 and we all thought they'd be a 4 or 5 seed w/o Hayward? :lol:

Watch on YouTube

Dallas BBQ (3-14) vs Milwaukee Beer Bellies (8-7): Pretty much, the Mavs realized that the Bucks are still playing 1 vs 5. Antetokounmpo taking over rebounding and other duties hampered his scoring...and Wesley Matthews IS the Dallas Mavs' point guard. Also Eric Bledsoe was chucking.

Watch on YouTube

Golden State "Hella" (12-4) vs Philly Haters (8-7): All you need to know, the 7 foot 6ers were KILLING the Warriors by pounding it inside for 2 quarters, then fell apart in the 3rd. Warriors eliminated a 20 pt deficit, said "Hold my beer..." and then proceeded to win the game.

Exactly. He isn't unguardable.

He actually is. The "make him shoot" doesn't work for Giannis either. :lol:

I love lazy analysis. Ben don't need to shoot because he's a wizard and understanding how to attack defenders that play OFF him. He uses his acceleration to rip past defenders or move them. Same way Giannis or Bron didn't have a J in their first few years.

Fixed.

"Who?" Ball told ESPN when asked about Trump's involvement in the matter. "What was he over there for? Don't tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out."

Giannis is an athletic freak, Lebron is a freight train, Simmons is neither. He's nice but if he was unguardable then he'd be unguardable and the Sixers wouldn't have blown a 24 point lead. "Unguardable" is lazy analysis...few players in NBA history are that and you have to have a jump shot.

**** it. In this beef? I got Lavar.

Just be honest and say that you haven't watched a ton of Ben because you're exposing yourself right now. Ben is literally one of the fastest players in the NBA and is strong as an ox. You don't average 18/9/8/2 shooting .52% from the floor without either being an elite athlete or insanely strong without a jumper. Ben literally flies down the lane and is so powerful. Prime Ben is going to avg like 22/10/9 lmfao. He's a perennial all-star for the next decade.

Lavar cannot out sh*t-post Trump.

What an ungrateful bastard. Good thing Trump is on much better terms with Xi than Obama. Hey, Lavar got more press, but with how badly his son is playing and then this? Have fun with that "brand" going to the dollar store soon lol.

And Trump is 10x more trash. Actually, 100x more trash because he has a country to run and he's wasting energy tweeting about LaVar Ball dissing him like he's a 9th grade girl. No president acts like this. This is insane.

I think Ben Simmons is like top 5 in the NBA in miles mph on the court. At his size and weight how he is not a freight train. Not to many cats are going to want to stand in front of that. I don’t subscribe to him being ungaurdable from a scoring perspective. But freight train he is.

David Lee retires from the NBA.

Hall of fame? Knicks should retire his number.
