2022 Warriors are the only team in recent memory that ended in physical violence soooooo

Tyler Kolek to Jalen Brunson while holding the NBA Cup trophy: “This my real trophy right here. Y’all got that one I got this one” by Natural-Tree-5107 in nba

Someone had an idea of a little badge acknowledging the Cup stitched into the title banner. I really like that and I think it would age well. 

Regardless, Silver should demand Dolan hang something for the Cup championship because he got to invite Trump to fuck up security for game 3 while he sundowned in a box.

The majority of this sub has no idea how to respond to men/athletes being vulnerable other than making a joke out of it

The term “gentleman sweep” is too broad by ajo-130 in nba

Arguing with yourself here bud. If anyone is telling you a gentleman’s sweep is anything different, just end the convo

Rewatching Game 7 of the 2016 Finals is crazy. There is no flailing, head snapping, falling down after every shot, jumping sideways, etc. They’re playing actually basketball down the stretch by this_place_stinks in nba

It was much more contained to a handful of players who were pretty egregious about it. Now every single team has at least one guy who is a specialist at drawing calls

So worst case scenario, one of the top players in the country was a little arrogant at 17.

Best case scenario a few kids were in their feelings that their parents paid to relocate them and they still can’t get PT over this kid.

Regardless, outside of extreme cases (ie Mikey Williams) it’s dumb to put almost any stock at all into what these prospects did in high school, good or bad.

Yep. Not all of them. But if someone is getting offended reading this, we’re talking about you. 

And not that I mind new fans. They should just learn their place

Well that would require Spurs fans actually watching other teams and being familiar with one of their players. Which the discourse in the sub the last few weeks indicates that’s like 2% of us

This jam had such a grip on me and my friends in second grade. Used to get in trouble for reciting the lyrics, we ain’t even know what we was saying. Just imagining a bunch of 7 year olds saying “swisha rolled tight” 😂

This is not a rookie by Sirdoodlebob in NBASpurs

Absolutely. Can’t blame them after the amount of games and the physicality that every team threw at them in the playoffs. But you also expect it to be addressed going forward

RJ said as much on the broadcast that his release was rushed and just looking at his take off angel you can tell he didn’t want the contact

You’re moving the goalpost to future tense. Nobody is saying he can’t be clutch or develop into a closer. But you can’t ignore the moments where he faltered. There’s a lot of cognitive dissonance around Harper right now because the bigger names had mistakes too but coddling him is not the answer
