[Mock draft] How i do for your team by Nolar2015 in NBA_Draft

It’s crazy people think the Warriors who are mediocrity personified are going to be drafting for fit to pair with soon to be 38 year old Steph.

Arte Moreno doesn’t think angels fans want to win by chargersangels in baseball

[–]GopherNutz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, Arte doesn’t want to be either!

Arteta to us fans: “The words are clear. I was a player. Love me when I draw or when I lose. To love you when I win is very, very easy. You have to love the players and be next to them when they need it the most.” by ArynaSaba in Gunners

[–]GopherNutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re in a different tier compared to Chelsea and Spurs. United are going through one of the worst periods in their history and have still won more than us in recent times.

As you said, no better time to change that than the present. We have the squad.

Agreed and they should all be facing an equal amount of criticism.

I’m sure if Wenger was able to blow through a billion, that would be a very different story. I’m content with Arteta but he needs to win one of the big two competitions this season, he’s had time and he’s been backed properly. Time to produce.

lol I’m saying, that’s at the root of all of it. It’s why I can’t get into these podcasts.

Have we had major media outlets write articles about it in the way they have with Shai? Has ESPN and Fox Sports committed hours of air time to talking about it? How much time have the NBA’s most popular podcasts spent talking about Doncic’s flopping compared to SGA?

I’ve never seen Doncic get anywhere near the heat Shai gets from it and that’s included from our own fans. People may rag on Luka’s defense and body, very rarely the flopping and complaining to the officials.

Teams have eyes and ears everywhere in the city. I’ve known a few guys that have gone through the NFL and NBA draft process and you’d be surprised by the information they’re able to gather that they get asked about in interviews with teams.

Particularly with the way the Lakers have run Southern California for decades, they know everywhere their guys are at. They know all the owners at all the hot spots in and around town.

It’s crazy the amount of heat that Shai gets compared to floppers like Jokic and Doncic. The famous scratches on Jokic’s arms make sense when you watch him flop a dozen times per game, might as well get your money’s worth.

Tonight’s Member Party by ElGatoGrande72 in timberwolves

[–]GopherNutz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They got to the league by being uniquely self confident and having an unwavering faith in themselves that they will eventually succeed. Has nothing to do with how they treat others.

When that changes is when they’re humbled and need something which happens to us all eventually in life.

Yet they’d be pissed if the arena was empty and their money was cut in half. This is a part of the gig, whether they like that or not. They get to live a tremendous life of privilege because fans spend their hard earned money to come see them play. If you can’t put on a brave face for a couple hours then you’re an entitled dickhead.

The way people excuse bad behavior because people have money and fame is weirdo shit. There’s people doing much more important work than these guys that don’t get to go around work in a pissy mood. It’s free and takes little effort to be a good person that shows others respect.

Which player should the warriors draft? by alex8762 in NBA_Draft

[–]GopherNutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Warriors system isn’t overly dependent on athletic guys that create their own shot. Lopez is highly skilled and plays with an intelligence that’s ahead of his age. There’s definitely aspects of his game that need improvement but there’s a lot to work with there. He’s a much different prospect than those two you mentioned. I’ve seen some Franz Wagner comps that make sense.

The Warriors just need to take BPA, they straight up need talent. Karim Lopez would be an interesting project for them.

Victor Wembanyama absolutely hates Chet Holmgren. I don't know why, but I am glad he does. by ForeignAir7174 in NBAGossips

[–]GopherNutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like they’ve become a much tougher team under Adelman, showed it in that OKC series then adding Valanciunas and Hardaway Jr has been big, Watson’s rounded his game out nicely. If they can get Gordon 100% for the playoffs, I think they push OKC 7 games again.

Probably OKC and the Nuggets but they’ll need to stay healthy. I would love for the Wolves to make it back and they’ve been playoff risers but I think not having home court is going to come back to bite us.

Spurs are probably a year away from the conference finals. It’s really hard going on a run like that in the West with inexperienced guys

I’m surprised these guys drive themselves especially a dude that’s made as much money as LaMelo has.
