I remember angrily defending Ayton from accusations of being soft last year. I still don’t think hes soft but he’s not aggressive enough of the time
Like 3rd quarter ayton should be at least 1st and 3rd quarter ayton

Overall he was pretty great today! I’ll take two quarters of that over none.

Agreed. I rip on him because he has all the tools and doesn’t use them. Want him to put it together, he was excellent for three series straight in the finals run before hitting the Greek buzzsaw

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I didn't see it live, but here is a pretty lengthy breakdown of the event. Honestly don't know how I feel because that was a genuine shot to the nuts, but I could see how that also could be trying to get a deflect on a between the legs dribble. Flag 2 seems a bit much.

THE DEM DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON

Just had a drunken discussion at a bar with a friend about who should have really won the DPOY they gave to MJ in the 80s and I said no way it should have been a guard so maybe uhhh Laimbeer?? How dumb was I 3.5 drinks in.

I don’t know if Laimbeer was quite DPOY but wasn’t just a goon. He wasn’t a shot blocker but he was an excellent positional defender who was way ahead of his time on help defense concepts that we take for granted today.

The instant I saw the first replay it was incredibly obvious to me that his intent was definitely going for the ball, but not the orange one. There's no chance he plays game 4.

It’s been a great few days of nut shots, especially since Embiid was the most deliberate out of all of them and only a flagrant 1.

Hmm almost like sample size matters, dude is still a possession killer and chronic bad decision maker and the clippers are losing the series sooo
