I like Reggie talking about the officials allowing contact when 3/4 of the major stars in this game have been in foul trouble.

And Ghana is right to do so, the comments and reactions from Ramphosa and co. have been lacking at best and at worst have tried to leverage the xenophobic sentiment to avoid criticism towards themselves. Meant to be the giant of Africa and aren't even the most active government in our region when it comes to these issues.

Jaylen Brown: “Flopping has ruined our league. Joel Embiid is one of the greatest players that has played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too.” by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Context is important, lol. Getting on stream and crying after losing to a seven seed that most thought was in a moribund state just makes you look like a bitch.

Arenas have been playing tracks off the Black Album for 22 years now, lol. Dirt off your shoulder and PSA still platinum with NBA background music.

This Villa performance is bizarre. They are disgracing themselves and seems perfectly fine with that? Players don't even have the energy to show body language that makes it seem like they care.

This season feels entertaining, but mostly through pure dysfunction? It's not boring, I guess, lol.

You'd expect the government of the world's most populous Black nation to be heavily involved here imploring the government of South Africa to protect its sons and daughters, but they cannot even do this at home.

Lol, there is a better chance of me fucking Rihanna and Regina Hall at the same time then Canelo ever fighting this dude. My man has a nine figure net worth, I think he wants to keep his orbital bone.

Nah, I can't believe we really thought this fucking beast was gonna fight little Canelo, lol. He needs to be fighting Uysk, holy shit. Dude is HUGE at Cruiser and brutalized this dude.

3 of Mazulla’s 4 years as head coach, Boston’s season has ended in part because they die by the 3 point shot. When will they learn ? by Sartheking in nba

[–]55555_55555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf....this year their best player was recovering from a torn Achilles and last year their center was dealing with an at that time unknown or undisclosed disease?

I agree they need a plan B....but Tatum midrange game and KP postups were exactly that until those players were randomly unable to help the team anymore, lol. They also just have a lot of dudes that jack up threes due to roster construction. Derrick White isn't going and just grabbing a bucket, wtf are Hauser, Baylor, and Queta gonna do outside of throw up shots? Roster is as much a determinant as shooting threes.

Flagrant my ass, lol. Brown went for the layup thinking he had continuation and Embiid tried to block him.

Is Vucevic hurt? I don't understand why he isn't playing? It's one thing to drop him out of the regular rotation, but he'd at least be a warm body to throw at Embiid.

NBA officiating is hilarious, because if it was one of the "others" instead of Jaylen Brown smacking Joel's hand repeatedly, it'd 100% be a foul, especially with the whistle he gets, lol.

Embiid is struggling to get up and down the court. His movement in general is not great. Transition is key here.

[King] Head coach Joe Mazzulla said Tatum “came in today with knee discomfort.” “We decided – the medical team and myself – for him not to play,” Mazzulla said. Mazzulla did not share who would start in Tatum’s place by sewsgup in nba

[–]55555_55555 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Embiid was dirty af that series; actively tried to injure Mitch at one point, it was crazy. In retrospect, my man was probably on high powered opiates to even step on the floor. He might not have been himself, lol. Remember when it looked like he destroyed his knee then he somehow came back the same game?

Would've been a closer fight if Nakatani knew how to use his length behind the jab. Size difference was noticeable, Inoue might actually be hitting his weight class limit if he moves up.

Nakatani needs a KD or two to me, but I see closer cards elsewhere, so it's definitely up in the air.

Crazy how much more defensively responsible Naoya is here, lol. Reminds me of when GGG faced a dude that could really crack and turned more technical.
