Lol at the Suns
CP tries to score a stat padded layup in the dying seconds. He missed. So Zion gave the crowd a sweet dunk
And the Suns blew up about disrespect. Fuck up you bitches it was awesome.
Also the Pels are a problem
I hate that stupid “disrespect “ bs. Play the clock out, do what you want. If you don’t want them to score again, play some defense. If it’s proper garbage time, let the bench go at it
What I love about the internet is all the videos of the Suns "holding the ball" coming out to make the Suns look like stupid hypocrites
-
My only disappointment in all that was that no one hit CP or Cameron Payne
-
Splash splash - the Warriors bring their A game and get the W against the Celtics. And without their key wing defender Wiggins.
Thought Klay played both ends of the floor superbly. Moving well in defence and much better shot selection.
And check out the Nets game against the Pacers. No KD, Kyrie, Simmons, Harris, Curry, Claxton and they got a very good away win. Nice to see Patty Mills get a start and have a very good game.
-
the Suns are imploding. Did Zion break them?
Well, no, it started before him, but
They have lost 4 straight. And right now they are getting hammered by the Rockets. A week ago they were top of the West.
-
also the Bucks appear to be beating down the Warriors
but i just saw a highlight on the NBA's own instagram page with the most blatant carry you'll ever see. Superstar whistle is so real
-
@mariner4life pretty scrappy game that Bucks/Warriors. Lots of turnovers by both teams and some poor play.
The bigger bodied Bucks getting it done.
And the Suns, 0-4 since CP3’s return. Love it.

if you want to know how idiotic the average NBA "fan" is check out the All Star voting in the West.
Lets just say @ACT-Crusader just doesn't have enough big names from a few years ago. And definitely not enough Warriors and Lakers (combined record 37-40)
Anthony Fucking Davis has over 2m votes

There’s a reason why I haven’t bothered debating those ASG predictions. The voting is idiotic.
All NBA is clearly a much better discussion point (just too far away)

@voodoo agree on the starting 5s which are basically a popularity contest plus some “informed” views from media/ex players. But the benches give a real indication of value and standing in my view given it’s the coaches that pick them.

For sure

Poor old Stevie is having his worst FT shooting season. Went 3/11 today and the Hack-a-Adams is now a problem. His rebounding is too good for him not to play proper minutes, but come the playoffs he will be benched if he can’t improve
-
at what point to we talk about how the Warriors have fallen off a cliff? Is it that the West is a shitfight, and people think they will be able to just pull the trigger come play-offs, because that's looking dicey. They're playing sub-500 ball, can't defend for toffee, and are now 9 games back. They are only two wins in front of the Lakers FFS.
I don't really believe in any teams out West this year.
Out east the Celtics v Bucks conference championship series will be epic.

GSW are 4-17 on the road
That’s pretty disgusting

@voodoo the whole Poole/Green thing has really hurt this team. The cohesion hasn’t been there and that’s what gets exposed on the road.
Plus the rotations have been very different this season. Some pretty funky lineups that Kerr has gone with. Poole is not efficient and when he’s been the floor leader he has made some woeful decisions.
Green has been up and down. Wiggins and Steph injuries. Kaminga who looked good early in the season has been in and out of the lineup. They are a 7-10 team at best.
