untrue and rude! i was at the most "give the kid a chance" about wiggins

Russ trying to “shut down” Ricky Rubio is hilarious. One of the most hilarious things he’s done

You were really upset about me saying he was a stiff

well tbf its an inaccurate description

how on earth is a wiggins a "stiff"?

mn is funny, some people are getting really bitter about last night, which i understand but i think there's a lot of misplaced vikings angst and also ppl that don't really pay attention to the NBA and really don't get that we are not and have not been even remotely on the same level as houston and that this was a death sentence from the jump

i'm actually happy they didn't get swept, though the losses except for game 1 were pretty embarrassing

Wiggins doesn’t bend in a defensive stanceC dribbles like a middle schooler, basically only does things in a straight line

i feel like we dont need to really revisit this as its mostly just a disagreement on what the word stiff means, one thing i think all reasonable people can agree tho on is that few stiffs have averaged 23pts a game in an nba season

oh yeah, he could potentially get suspended for that no?

NBA reviewing whether Russell Westbrook should be suspended for Game 5 🤔 https://t.co/6V1BTmvRz1 pic.twitter.com/XafwJcxWBR

not a great game for russ

Russell Westbrook this series has taken a team-high 79 FGA and shot a team-low 36.7 FG%. Tough to win with that going on.

lol promising to shut down rubio he really thinks he can just turn on the D

this was very cute, he want 100% for like 4 possessions

i think we can agree that whether he's a stiff or lithe amphibious being, andrew wiggins is not very good

"The question: was Westbrook waved on the court by the officials or was he leaving the bench area to participate in an altercation? The latter would be an ejection and a suspension for Game 5," Larsen wrote.

oh god who the fuk cares

that rule needs to be updated. cant believe they didnt change it after the diaw/stat fiasco

I like his nicknames (citation needed)

Maple Jordan
Junior Jordan
The Prospect
Mr. Fantastic

i think every player that has a long list of nicknames on there has Mr. Fantastic thrown in

Mister Fantastik put the busy in the bee
Rock from the bottom straight to the Tizzy

kinda crazy that donovan mitchell is already better than gordon hayward

that is not true

listen i well know the frustrations of wiggins believe me but to me, being a starter level nba player is not a stiff, even if he was once tagged with being a superstar in the making

Wiggins isn't a starter level player on a team that starts its best players

You don't think he's a top 30 guy at his position? I think he's in like the 20-30 range.

wiggins is a fine starter, he's just not worth the money he's making and believes he's better than he is.

low quality high volume scorer who does nothing else just isnt a very sought after skillset these days, cld see him as a future sixth man of the year candidate, a jamal crawford type if you will

yeah he could be in there he's just not that good though, doesn't bring anything to the table besides scoring and i would hope in 2018 people have figured out that's not actually 80% of the game

he can be rudy gay 2 or something

i mean scoring 23pts a game on 45% shooting is nothing to sneeze at the vast majority of nba players cld never, its not even low quality i retract that characterization, its just that he does nothing else

clearly a mindtype issue in my professional opinion, if youve got crazy spider limbs u shd be able to play a lil D at least

it's just really hard to end up paying that profile of player what they're actually worth even in today's more enlightened nba

smart back

Brad Stevens said Smart felt great after shootaround today. If he continues to feel that way he will be available tonight.

the stuff with meek mill and the owner of the sixers is kinda creepy imo

Miami heat my new team.....I been looking for team for a while #winners!!

whats goin on there

hopped on that lebro wagon

Ricky Rubio made his Spanish ACB debut as a 14-year-old. He also averaged a ridiculous 23.3 points, 12.8 rebounds, 7.1 assists & 6.5 steals per game in 32.5 minutes at the 2006 under-16 Euros. He was an absolute monster at the youth level. Only 27 but in his 13th season as a pro. pic.twitter.com/yDFgEdtAv1

what's creepy? seems like a marketing stunt

i don’t think it’s a stunt. they do seem to have had a genuine relationship long before all this. but yeah seeing this convergence of commerce and social justice is giving me the willies, i guess. creepy wasn’t really the right word.

marcus smart already beasting on defense <3

If the rim were one inch wider the Bucks would be up by 25

Wowwww refs blew that, gg

biggest revelation of this heat/sixers series is that... for a guy who is 7 feet tall, kevin mchale sounds like a total dweeb on the mic lol

I remember him from his acting gig on Cheers and thinking he was obviously a tremendous dork

hes super endearing a total normie

otm he's just a dude from minnesota who likes basketball
