it is unbelievable that draymond stomped on a guy and the other guy got a foul called on him


it sounds like a made up thing an irate fan would be mad about but it is just true

if the warriors lose game 3 draymond is playing the entire 4th game with the weird piston thing from no country for old men dragging behind him

Feel like y'all should know by now that the nba lets donkeh play by a different set of rules so the nba can have a villain

if we go off the two nut shots to steven adams(neither of which even got an ejection) what is likely to happen is the nba reviews it and turns the flagrant 2 into a 1 and then draymond does something again the next game.

draymond has never gotten suspended for attacking other players, the only time he ever faced repercussions is when he had kicked so many ballsacks that even with half of his technicals being rescinded to stop the mandatory suspension kicking in he still had it kick in

in recompense for his unfair suspension the nba is going to let draymond beat up a random slav at the start of next season

its funny that delly is on the kings since he was pretty much the first Annoy Curry After Every Make guy, just bumping him all the way down the court in the first cavs/warriors series.



also generally the best fix to massive ball pressure is to just pass it to another good playmaker, like how the spurs decimated the heat in their last finals matchup by just waiting for a trap and then chucking it to boris diaw. i wonder if the warriors have a big donkey looking doofus who knows how 2 pass on their team hrrm

its also great that every 10 years the era of unbelievable badasses who always did hard fouls and no one cared cause they just loved hooping that much moves forward by 10 years. we will live to see people saying the curry warriors were a team of hardasses with unbelievable mental toughness

i do remember an early 2000s kings team who tried to cheat the lakers out of one of their very few very rare playoff series wins but good ended up prevailing

Dillion Brooks is fine he's like a major success story as far as making himself an NBA player but I do wish that LeBron was still healthy enough to do something about it.

All i got out of that whole thread.

"Willis Reed was out with a knee injury before the series began, Knicks big man Dave DeBusschere was forced into limited minutes due to an injury while guarding Wilt which led to no one left on the Knicks being able to content rebounds, and guard Earl Monroe was playing injured for the Knicks. Fun fact, Wilt broke his wrist in game 4 and still played game 5 posting a stat line of loving 24/29/8/8."

This right here,everyone was f'ing injured but Wilt still played! So current players not playing get some freaking uppers,ludes and 20,000 forget-me-nots and get in the game!

wilt did all this playing against the man who invented bussy. incredible

I would like to at least seem him get a shot instead of these four guard lineups though. He's a bad defender but no one's playing defense when AD's sitting anyway.

yeah i dont really have faith in ham to be able to figure out a new rotation on the fly and he abandoned Mo so quickly he basically got zero reps in with the team, but they for sure want to play an actual 2nd center somewhere in the rotation at least some # of minutes. it would make the lebron/rui/all shooters lineups easier to defend but they arent really setting the world on fire anyway and they give up infinite layups and 3s

with enough modern training and coaching you could easily teach wilt all kinds of things that didnt exist back when he played. like how to play basketball for instance
