i was loving old man big Al vs whiteside. hornets will probably be going to that a lot more for the series to get HW in foul trouble

or to get buckets
whiteside is a must watch player imo, eyes are glued to him when he's in
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Monday, 18 April 2016 16:57 (ten years ago)
was listening to lowe and coach thorpe previewing all the series this morning and although thorpe is wrong all the time he made a point about how whiteside gets off his feet too easily when guarding big solid dudes and it's actually the non-leaper types has he has trouble with. that may be right but i do think he's just a bad one-on-one defender, jelly k is not a big solid dude but he just cut at whiteside from various angles and hassan wanted no part of it.

gobert is probably the closest to an all-around good defender shot-blocking dude
― k3vin k., Monday, 18 April 2016 17:00 (ten years ago)
otm, maybe bogut but he doesnt play many minutes
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Monday, 18 April 2016 17:03 (ten years ago)
ya tru re gobert forgot abt him
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 17:13 (ten years ago)

heh understandable tho
― k3vin k., Monday, 18 April 2016 18:20 (ten years ago)
yeah more of a flaw in the whole concept of the first round that most of the cool teams/players will win easily
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:22 (ten years ago)
what if only 4 teams made the playoffs like baseball
― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 April 2016 18:23 (ten years ago)
cn see why someone thought it was a good idea to limit it to 5 games
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:23 (ten years ago)
btw cp kinda destroyed dame last night huh

watching the clips leaving aminu completely fn wide open was pretty brutal, they didnt even close out
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:28 (ten years ago)
yeah cp3 is gonna do whatever he wants against the blazers
― k3vin k., Monday, 18 April 2016 18:29 (ten years ago)
aminu hit so many 3s vs the celtics when they tried that
― ciderpress, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:29 (ten years ago)
chris paul will also lead the clippers to victory over the golden state warriors

― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:33 (ten years ago)
funny how kenny is just like smh dude SEVENTY THREE AND NINE and then chuck is like yeah but they are inconsistent...
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Monday, 18 April 2016 18:33 (ten years ago)
i mean
shrillary tintin @theshrillest 14h14 hours agothe Warriors are owned by a venture capitalist, play flashy, arrogant basketball, and are led by two rich kids and a walking mouth.
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:34 (ten years ago)
*coach is a rich kid too
ppl on twitter always overplay the warriors hatred they are beloved, the haters are just loud
― k3vin k., Monday, 18 April 2016 18:37 (ten years ago)
feel like there arent any dubs haters like besides chuck its kinda crazy
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:38 (ten years ago)
chuck is doing it now cos he wins either way. they win he can get on his knees and grab headlines, they lose and he can be like see i was the only one who knows anything
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Monday, 18 April 2016 18:41 (ten years ago)
either that or hes looking forward to someone making him another custom tee
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:43 (ten years ago)
And anyone who played at least 15 years ago.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Monday, 18 April 2016 18:44 (ten years ago)
hah true
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Monday, 18 April 2016 18:45 (ten years ago)
it's not that crazy that people love the warriors considering they play the most aesthetically pleasing basketball of all time
― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 April 2016 18:45 (ten years ago)
Klay barely counts as a rich kid man his conservative ass dad had him on an allowance as of like two years ago

i dont dislike them though other than dray's messy screens
― ciderpress, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:47 (ten years ago)
I just watched the nba 73 wins mixtape thing and got pretty damn pumped on flashy arrogant basketball
Half the thing was curry just murking fools with BALLHANDLING
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Monday, 18 April 2016 18:47 (ten years ago)
he wins either way
yeah. and the spurs give him a puncher's chance of the warriors not even winning their conference.

yeah theyre awesome and liking them is obvs right and good and maybe even the fact that theyre hot doggin and no ones giving them grief about it is a sign of the weakening of bs sports moral panic tho to some extent theyre prob just sheltered from that by stephs squeaky clean image
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 18:54 (ten years ago)
warriors are great and lovable but maybe there's also the sense that these guys are homegrown fun-loving dudes and not a team assembled for a specific grim mission that cannot fail. that's a large part of why the spurs are likable too and why the series between these two teams (fingers crossed) will be such a blast.
― nomar, Monday, 18 April 2016 19:00 (ten years ago)
warriors play great basketball obv, if i wasn't a cavs fan i would prob enjoy them a lot more, but since i am, i don't really have any problem hating a flashy team led by two rich kids owned by a silicon valley venture capitalist
also i think curry's mouthguard tic is gross and reprehensible and he would be 100x greater if he did not chew on it every second
― marcos, Monday, 18 April 2016 19:19 (ten years ago)
i don't really have any problem hating a flashy team led by two rich kids owned by a silicon valley venture capitalist

spurs are easy to love though imo

rondo storing his mouth guard inside his jersey is still the gold standard for grossness
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 April 2016 19:23 (ten years ago)
It's annoying to see prom kings like Steph and Draymond mouthing off, but they've earned the right, I think. I don't think anyone would complain if they toned it down a bit.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 18 April 2016 19:31 (ten years ago)
you mean complaining about calls?
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Monday, 18 April 2016 19:33 (ten years ago)
shit talking is really an ok and normal part of basketball imo but flexing on the other hand is actually extremely lame
