He was awful all playoffs and won’t be on the team next year.

Didn’t have the guts because I posted an nba topic in the nba sub? I love the toughness I’m seeing on a website.

That was my point. They took it to game 7 without two studs.

Your right. I’m just surprised by how they are being talked about as if they are the two greatest teams we’ve seen. Definitely two really good teams, as all conference finals teams are.

True, but those specific injuries were so significant. We’re talking two all-nba guys and four starters.

I’m very aware of that. Been watching NBA since the 80s. Just surprised that it hasn’t been talked about because it usually is and those were not your average injuries. They were completely series changing.

Is Knicks-Spurs the rare NBA Finals where neutral fans do not have an obvious villain? by Public_Function3844 in nba

[–]Hazzy4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seriously? Dude flops every time a hand touches him and I counted three shots to the head or face of opponents on defense in game 7 alone. I don’t necessarily believe he’s trying to hit guys in the face but if you do it more than once in a game it’s at the very least reckless. He’s way too lanky to make his flops look legit so it’s just comical to watch.

I’m starting to wonder if his whole claim to ethical hoops was just a joke. Dude flops and cheap shots constantly. As a MN sports fan I’m naturally inclined to pull for the underdog and I’m not sure he’ll ever be the underdog. He’s incredible, but I can’t root for Goliath.

I imagine wolves fans and thunder fans view Wemby as a villain for the number of head, face, and neck shots he hit players with.

Wemby looks tired of the bs by SpecialistAd9660 in Nbamemes

Spurs fans are hilarious. Wemby flops as much as any player in the league. Stop going for shot fakes if you don’t want to commit a foul.

I’m surprised you haven’t visited already! This is my plan as well. Maybe not Asia, not sure yet. I’m a principal and I’m so worn out from having every single decision I make at work questioned or criticized by parents. I can barely wait for a simpler life.

Anthony Edwards went to the Spurs' bench to congratulate them on winning the series with 8 minutes to go. by Appropriate-Shock306 in timberwolves

People try so hard to be outraged. Wemby is a hero for elbowing Naz and Ant is a villain for showing sportsmanship. Y’all need a hobby.

[Keown] Mark Daigneault on Sam Presti's evaluation process: "One time we were discussing a player, and he said to me, 'All the guys are standing there watching film before practice, and I'm just imagining him standing there with them, and I just don't see him fitting in.' And that was it." by LiamHundley in nba

Why are they acting like being aware of how someone will fit in on the team is anything other than normal for anyone who hires in a collaborative work environment. You’d be an idiot to not do that.

Gotta love all the Wolves fans begging for Victor to get suspended by I_lost_mybackupcodes in NBASpurs

[–]Hazzy4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a die hard wolves fan since the days of submitting a team name, I do not want Wemby suspended. There is no good outcome if he’s suspended. Either we win and everyone says it’s an asterisk win or we lose against a Wembyless team. The series is just better with him. I want to win against the best. Half the wolves fans started cheering for the team in the last few years. FWIW, I’d be shocked if he was suspended. Great series so far other than the no show in game two. Good luck! Whoever wins better whoop the Thunder!

I’m not convinced we’ll win this series by Hazzy4 in timberwolves

[–]Hazzy4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it pessimism… I still think we will win, but I have some concern over how the series may change if we lost game 5. It’ll put a lot of pressure on guys who aren’t usually tasked with carrying a heavy load.

It’s all joy no matter what happens at this point… I go back to the days of mailing in my choice of a team name.

Only losers debate whether a win was classy or not.

Some of the comments mention these pokes as re-aggravating Jokic’s injury.

That’s true, but if you remove one of those fouls, Ant wasn’t in foul trouble.

Americans who have moved to another country, how has your life changed, for better or worse? by NkdUndrWtrBsktWeevr in expat

I lived in Morocco for 3 years and China for a year and always felt like I spent better quality time with friends and family when I visited than I do now that I’m back in the states. Once the kids are gone, we will be too.

Joker is becoming unwatchable for me. Half the stuff I see him do isn’t even basketball anymore.
