Morant literally does whatever he wants to the warriors.

Warriors are letting him have his fun and are shutting everyone else off. They do that literally every series they've ever played. That OKC series was the only one I can remember where they actively tried shutting down a star by sending help early in the shot clock.

Poole bailing out fitp again.

Curry is 34 and not on roids so of course he's washed. This has been Poole's team for awhile now, it's why Curry was coming off the bench. Only reason Curry is starting this series is because he's a better screener and passer.

I normally like Skips trolling but this is just sad and pathetic. They really cant tread water without talking about Lebron even when he isn't in the playoffs.

I think it's because it's too late for him to pick on another player because he's so old. He tried hammering on Curry when the postseason started but warriors fans largely ignored him so he's back to mentioning Lebron every other tweet.

I don't think they resign Doe-Doe for $52 million if they wait until the end of the year. Its probably in the right ballpark for him but they would had to have paid more if they waited, which is what is going to hurt the Mavs when it comes to Brunson. They could have given Brunson an extension halfway through the season like Finney-Smith and he would have signed it, for half of what its going to cost now.
 
Feel bad for the Warriors man. They have to play the Grizzlies WITHOUT Ja....in the playoffs!? It's almost not fair to the Warriors.

Also, it's hilarious watching everyone whine and cry. OMG did Ja tweet "broke tha code" after the entire state of California tried to have Brooks tried for murder over a hard foul? The same fans that stormed twitter to hail Green as a hero for hard fouling Clarke twice on the same play. Brooks with his 1 career ejection ever, compared to Greens like 13.

Poole didn't hurt Ja. Even though it was a hard foul, and Brooks deserves suspension for the reckless bullshit....GP would still be playing if he didn't try to catch himself. Draymond plays physical and active, that shit happens. It actually been a great series (outside GS pulling away in the second half of the last game) and all the rest of this shit is just stupid

Why aren't more people talking about Zion the way they talk about Simmons. I was absolutely floored by Zion's comments on the playoffs.
 
Jokic Another MVP . Embiid probably deserved it more TBH .
 
International Players have won the last 4 MVPs odds are it will happen again next year as Giannis , Embiid and Jokic will still put up numbers and also you got to take into account if Luka stops being a fatass before training camp.

Luka will get at least one MVP at some point. Even this year with his weight problem early, then injuries that made him miss 17 games, he was the NBA's 3rd leading scorer, 4th if you include Lebron who was not eligible. Luka averaged 28/9/9 this year and carried a team with no All Stars to 52 wins.

Also next season Jokic will be punished for another 1st round exits , 2 MVPs two quick exits. Luka will have momentum depending on how this run finishes. Giannis could also have momentum going into next year if the Bucks repeat.

Absolutely, but I've been saying this for years now that Cuban is a cheap fuck that doesn't want to get into the tax. I think people are forgetting that they never even made Brunson an offer which tells me that they were never planning on re-signing him. I think now he gets around an $80 million dollar deal.

Brooks is a dirty player though and I believe the Grizzlies are better when hes not on the floor. He hijacks the offense way too much for someone who is essentially an inefficient chucker. I think his play on GP2 was absolutely dirty and I think Draymonds play was dirty as well just not as dirty as Brooks.

I think Ja's knee is injured because he's a 6'3 guard that lands recklessly every single time. Zion, Embiid, Ja, and Wiseman all have not learned how to fucking land yet. And it's to no one's surprise that they get hurt a lot.

Probably cuz JaZion didn’t pass up a wide open playoff dunk over known elite rim defender Ghey young, text during practice, demand a trade to a city of his choice and dress like he’s going to a gay pride parade on the bench while watching his team get swept. People just accept JaZion as an injury prone fatass.

I don't think they expected Brunson to basically carry the Mavericks against the Jazz with Luka out and win 2 out of the 3 games with a 30+ and a 40+ point game. Now he's averaging 18 points and 7 assists per game against the Suns and 40% from 3. They could have signed him for about the same as Finney-Smith, 50 million, but now its going to take in the 80-100 million range and if Cuban's cheap ass doesn't do it someone else will, guaranteed.

Morant deleted his tweet. He was ratioed pretty fast. People were probably sending him clips of him kneeing Klay and Curry on separate plays like he's Marcus Smart.

People comparing Poole touching Morant's knee to Brooks clobbering Payton is beyond me.

Jesus Effic C I can’t stand Marcus Smart.

How the fuck are people daring to pretend he’s the best defender in the league?

He’s a journeyman who has a spot on a team that would be far better if they upgraded his position.

He’s a flopper who acts tough but still pretends to die twice a game and plays dirty as fudge. And he’s arrogant about it.

Cant stand that dude. He’s be working at an oil change shop if basketball wasn’t a thing.
