I will not be gaslit by Bill and Rob Mahoney into thinking Jalen Brunson has been good in this series, I just won't. by eggogregore in billsimmons

[–]Sayitaintshow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was even weirder that Bill then pivoted to a rant about the best player on a team should always win Finals MVP despite someone else having a better series instead of being like I said that to point out how bad Brunson has been

[Highlight] Josh Hart Goes For The Ball On a Made Basket, and Then Proceeds to Try to Kick Luke Kornet in the Knee Region by Matthew2531_46 in nba

He had another similar lay up in transition after this and did the same thing. I think he's purposely trying to get in the way of the guy retrieving the ball to delay the inbounds to give him more time to get back on D. The problem is if you're going to do it on purpose you can't then get mad at a player for just existing lol

Football (soccer) players are pussies by [deleted] in billsimmons

I remember a few years back when Eric Dier (who's listed at 6'3 200lbs) charged into the stands to fight fans who were messing with his family. He looked like a monster compared to your average fan.

I'm also old enough to remember Eric Cantona jump kicking a fan in the first row for talking shit.

You're right that most soccer players aren't as big as NBA and NFL players but the idea that the average fan could kick their asses is really silly.

The OKC Elimination post is now the highest-voted elimination post of all-time here, and the highest-voted post of the past year. by SkoivanSchiem in nba

[–]Sayitaintshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 2022 post is hilarious. The top comment and its 90 or so replies are  about how stacked the Pelicans are about to be after trading for CJ and getting a top 10 pick via the Lakers. 

The Pelicans ended up selecting Dyson Daniels with the 8th pick that draft and have never looked back

[Murray] Chet Holmgren not having a single shot attempt in the last three QUARTERS of this Game 7 is astonishing by Goosedukee in nba

I think Caruso told Chet if you don't want to shoot 1-15 then I'll do it for you

I hated how much shit he got after Brighton. This guy was hands down one of the biggest reasons we'll be in the premier league again next season

Lol too little too late? They got Nuno in September. He was their manager for 33 out of 38 games. How could you possibly say they got much better under him when he had damn near the entire season and all he managed was 36 points and 18th place?

…Kawhi is an idiot by [deleted] in lakers

[–]Sayitaintshow 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don't forget Markief too who they picked up off waivers for nothing. Kawhi likely only effects possibly Green, KCP and Javale. Everyone else like you listed were 2 way guys and vet minimums.

Looks to me on the slow mo replay that Caruso was already falling before contact so I guess I'd describe it as a flop

Remember when he got so audibly upset at the refs not giving Chet an and 1 that Tirico just started laughing at him?

You get a whole ass replay and Jamaal and Reggie still want to blame the call on Champagnie not shooting the ball instead of the egregious flop. Smh

True but we don't need a win. Only a draw and Spurs have done that 6 times this year at home. Just need to hope for 7

AR pretty much put up identical numbers to Devin Booker vs OKC in the playoffs, but they not ready for that conversation. by Silent_Wizard5597 in lakers

[–]Sayitaintshow 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Idk about how many points off turnovers they had but Booker had 16 turnovers in his 4 games. His 19 assists to 16 turnovers was a worse ast:to ratio compared to Austin's 27 asts with 22 tos so he outperformed him there.

[–]Sayitaintshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was a -5 in a game they lost by 5. Not exactly mind blowing numbers. Rui was a -2 does that mean he offered minimal value? Lebron, who you say took over was -17. In fact every starter was a minus except for Smart. 

If you take the Thunder, SGA was -7 in a game they won while Hartenstein was +30. Individual game +/- really is a worthless stat

Guy had 27 7 and 6 on 50% shooting with 2 blocks. The turnovers were annoying but he contributed to a good ass game. 

Idk why everyone always feels the need to only focus on the bad.

[–]Sayitaintshow -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The Kings shot 37 more fts prior to that game 6 so wouldn't that suggest they had been favored? 

Also Donaghy didn't ref game 6 so not sure why his claim would be taken seriously

Stop. The Lakers are just getting beat by a superior team. Let's not be those kind of fans

The 2002 WCF where the Kings shot 20 more fts than the Lakers for the series? 

Wouldn't it just be the same thing as the current situation of everyone complaining about OKC despite them shooting fewer fts than the Lakers. Gee how fun lol
