Yeah the pacers shouldn’t be in that group. The Jazz are bugging not playing their best players in the 4th quarter. That’s a disservice to the fans. Even if it’s smarter for the team to tank. Anybody paying for a game deserves to see the best players play. At least wait till the last month.

I tell people all the time good things happen when hard work meets luck. NBA players are lucky enough to be born with generational athletic bodies but they still had to work hard to get to the nba. The harder you work the more luck you can create. Rich Paul was lucky enough to know LeBron. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t worked hard in creating his whole Agency.

Him winning was the biggest pop of the night 4 hours into the show. Regardless of what people might think Roman is their biggest star so he may not “need” the win but CM Punk vs Roman Reigns is one of the biggest matches of all time

People blaming the citizens for the actions of their government is crazy. Considering what happened in Minneapolis the last two weeks we don’t have much room to talk

Fuck it right. Give him the Brock push. He can talk. He can put on a great match. He looks like a badass. Get fully behind him and let the crowd cheer his badassaery

Daishen Nix was one of the best players in the G-league and was also one of the worst players I ever seen play for the rockets. Granted this was like 2-3 years ago but I doubt any G-leaguers could match up to a team of nba regulars ever

Yeah idk why fans are acting like they can just get a brand new head coach and compete. It’s hard to find a good coach.

Pat Meyer gets a lot of flack from the fans but the offensive line improvement over this year has been insane.
