Bummed out. Jazz better get that W smh

 

[getback]

This is why I didn't draft him in fantasy this year

 

[trynafeelmink]

Literally said in my first post that he did have a question mark tho

We’ve seen star players, we’ve seen them age out and sign to other teams in a bench role. They only become weird about their usage when.... they’re still starters. So I’m just confused about the comments on an 8th man’s attitude.

The question is theoretically it's not like Javale is some sort of AS player who is clearly better than him... he could very well still fell that he's a starter.

And in the past it ain't even that Dwight was pouting about minutes... he was going into situations when he clearly wasn't the best player & demanding a AS level usage.

Hopefully almost being out of the league humbled him & he continues to play the way he has been because this version of Dwight is extremely useful with our personnel.

Interested in seeing if Cali holds it down for everybody

JJ headick goin off tonight

 

[ill steelo]

Bruh it was more than him asking for touches.

Mf'ers didn't wanna be around dude. It was a lot of talk that other players said he wasn't taking anything serious.

Post ups have always been the biggest point of contention

Hopefully this means the return of NCAA Football. Madden just doesn’t do it.

It's kind of Odd that they would sit Kawhi vs the Jazz instead of the Spurs... considering the Jazz are more likely to be fighting for playoff positioning with them instead of the Spurs.

I'm all for Kawhi curb stomping Pop tho

One day we're gonna have a serious talk about Pop being so stubborn & vindictive that he passed up on the Lakers deal because it was the Lakers... and wanted to ship Kawhi to a place he didn't want to go...

In turn

- Kawhi won a championship, is being regarded by some as the best player in the league & still ended up in the WC
- Lakers ended up with Lebron & AD
- The Pels have an extremely promising young core with assets galore
- The Spurs are capped out & looking at a future led by Demar Derozan

Probably because Dwert has done the same song as and dance everywhere he's bounced around about changing his attitude and just playing whatever role was needed and never actually done it until seemingly these first 4 games. I'm still skeptical myself to see how long it lasts. Everybody and their mama (including most all Laker fans) ridiculed the signing. Due to his health and attitude.

The Clippers-Spurs game isn't even in San Antonio. Wack.

 

[everysingletime]

The dougie is an old man dance now

We old

Harlem shake probably like the macarena to kids today lol

 

[antidope]

Lakers offense is garbage, but it's early and no Kuz.

Clippers have been so godly on offense, their lack of defense doesn't even matter so far.

They'll get to figure things out against the mid range kings of San Antonio.

Not even mad Kawhi, get your revenge

You’re late, Nicholas.

Jackie Mac writes critical pieces on the Celtics all the time. Had a big one on Jaylen Brown last season.

She’s been writing forever and has a ton of sources. Juicy stories are what make the most impact. That’s just what the game is.

 

[frshstunna]

Dwight has been the biggest story of the Lakers first 4 games. I’m rooting for him despite all the bull****

Dwight good for about 10-15 games, y’all make sure to enjoy the next couple weeks

 

[you go boy]

i dont know whats up with dwight... its like the injuries got the best of him and took him out his prime... hes always in shape too so dont know why he gets hurt all the time... he prally just has bad luck

 

[addict4sneakers]

Conley bathing in the salt lakes?

He has 5 rings and is arguably the greatest basketball coach of all time.

I think he’ll be okay.

Also the Spurs have some real promising young guys on their roster.

 

[jab step]

Will Kerr let Dlo/Curry run pnr with WCS? Might Willie’s career.

 

[lawdog1]

We’re talking about Dwight Howard, former DPOY and perennial all-star. The fact people are jazzed about him averaging 6 and 6 over a four game stretch is kind of testament to how bad he’s fallen off. But credit to him for accepting his role and playing hard.

 

[heelsandeers]

Coby bout to hang 30 on the Cavs tonight for passing on him
