They tried to tell me Bari was unplayable

Had fools talmbout the reason they lost games 1 and 2 was because he played 4 minutes instead of ZERO!

Dude is the 2nd best player on the Team, and ****** was co-signing him needing "Zero PT" and thinking that is what would help them win

I was reading Twitter after game 1, and the **** I was reading from Professional People (not trolls) made me quit twitter.
I wasn't sure if they were talking about Jabari or Anthony Bennett.

NT go NT

It wasn't just NT.
It was being said everywhere, which is probably why NT cosigned.

Warriors really up by 1 right now

Spurs come back from 3-0.
Messina takes the Spurs to the finals.
Pop comes back for the finals. and wins Game 7 on the road against whoever wins the Eastern Conference finals.
Spurs players dedicate their playoff run to Pop, all without their best player.
Pop retires, Messina takes control.
The Knicks somehow get lucky and get the number 1 pick.

Best sports story ever. Who says no.

It’s absolutely a thing. Black dudes definitely not trying to have a white guy give them buckets.

I'm half arab half Filipino so that's even lower on the bar (or whatever you call it)

Lol Warriors don’t want that pressure with Pels, Steve Kerr is about to throw the game. If dubs lose tonight NT gets to troll with the narrative that the dubs last season went undefeated in the playoffs and this season they’re losing first round game.

Shorter contracts means you got more say and control over how you get to and where you get to spend that relatively short career. Not to mention can keep up with changes in the market and make more money. I think it’s a real smart move on the players part.

It's better for everyone in my opinion. Teams get more flexibility and it saves them from themselves in alot of cases. If we went back to the early 90s when there were no limits what type of contracts you can offer, we go back two teams tie themselves up with horrendous 10 year deals instead of horrendous three or four year deals.

It also makes the NBA trade deadline in offseason more interesting. We see teams willing to make a lot more deals and are able to unload bad contracts more easily because they're shorter.

Depending on if this game can follow through or not I think Prunty may have figured something out rotation wise

Dude didn't figure ish out.
Henson got hurt or Jabari would have rode the bench and this series would be over.

Nobody should get credit here, unless it's Jabari.
NOt even Giannis stepped up and said Play Jabari or else, he was just cool with going home 1st rd in a sweep.
Whole situation sickens me from how folks said Boston> No brainer after 2 games to the whole internets "food" and "trash" description of Jabari, after the good ending to his season.
Like, you are not going to make me believe Jabari is so "food" he can't play, when I watch Basketball and have seen Jabari play.

You might lose all credibility with me, for trying to sell me on some bullish like that

The dude played 25minutes today, which is still too little, but scored 16pt had 2 threes, 7rb 1ast 2stl and 3blks with 0 TO's
Unplayable

Hate playing with short filipinos. Dudes are crazy fast

 

[buc em]

Yep Warriors winning this by double digits.

Zach Lowe spoke on it on his last podcast, briefly. White Sterotypes. He also spoke on how folks try to ISO JJ Redick and when it doesn't work how it probably makes folks feel

Imagine a racist dude giving you buckets and there's nothig you can do.

Or stealing the ball from you like he stole your culture

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Jj reddick ready to play for boston

[second2nonee]

yeah, i've seen them run this play before. i'm pretty sure rozier/brown were supposed to come off the screen for a 3 but bucks did a good job on switching. morris still had a decent look as well.
