[Peep Game]

I was at the bar tonight and some people were saying that the TWolves got a bright future and I said “that ain’t the real young core” got a room full of


And somebody dead *** said Jimmy Butler was the best player on the floor, wild folk up in Montana

Lol Butler was the 4th best player on his own team

This amazing russ game and OKC comeback falls squarely on @wavycrocket and @JD617. I tried to warn y'all I had something cooking but we have to wait for it to be official but y'all couldn't wait.

Shh....I've been holding on to this take. Too soon to use it. Gotta wait till it's offcial.

It looks like Towns still growing into his body...

I've hated on KAT quite a bit, but outside of ragging his Defense(lack of tbh) I only went in on him this year when Folks said Kat > Nikola and last year when folks called him best big in the Game or to build a team around like they couldn't see my guy over in Philly.

Just watching him on court though, and appreciating the pretty parts of any bigs game........he always makes my face squench up when I see his.....

Hard to be Graceful and Elegant with the Ball in your hands when you are carrying around those things.

1st clutch shot I've seen LeBron make when it mattered.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Bron still gon' be th GOAT in a month and a half so I'll still be here

And then you gotta face the fact that them other guys are still going to be the GTOAT too

It's gon be a cold summer

 

[Platinum State]

Minnesota made u huge mistake giving Wiggins the max

 

[dat dude chris]

so Sixers right now are trash since they have Covington?

Id take Covingtons defense, rebounding & streaky 3 point shooting over that bum Grant any day. Obviously the Sixers felt the same way when they traded his bum *** away for a journeyman like Ersan who also turned out to be better...

Man what? Huh?

The lebron isn't clutch narrative really has you guys with blinders on

 

[Maximus Meridius]

The pathetic Lebron and Russ haters with a lot of "but don't get too happy..."

Man what? Huh?

The lebron isn't clutch narrative really has you guys with blinders on

Skip Bayless got dudes thinking the only way you can be clutch is if you make a shot at the buzzer.

So basically you started watching LeBron a week ago?

Here's something to educate you then:







This was prior to last night's game:

Anyway, I wonder which of these things Skip Brainless will focus on:

A: The goaltending non-call, while completely ignoring the BS turnover call on LeBron from the previous possession and the fact that the Cavs still win by 1 even if we give Oladipo the 2 points
B: Game being tied and therefore not being a true do-or-die game winner
C: 5 turnovers by LeBron
D: Some random stretch of the game where LeBron didn't score for a couple of minutes or missed a couple of shots in a row and saying "Where was he then?"
E: All of the above

5 games into this series and he's yet to have a teammate crack the 20 point scoring barrier.

Stopped reading after Point A. If they called goaltending, Bron may not have even pulled up from 3. Could of tried to drive it in, maybe lose the ball/pass to an open teammate/hit the shot. Any of those is possible. The pull up 3 game winner isn't mutually exclusive to the previous play. Caping so hard for your hero your judgment is clearly clouded. All props to LeBron for that shot and the game. Was ******* amazing.

Just proves that most folks on here are haters. Just like in real life, not everyone wants to see you winning.

One thing that was sort of shocking about the 2nd quarter last night is that OKC has had a really good defense all season, and Utah isn’t a top offensive team. It’s crazy how it happened all of a sudden but they always had the ability to shut the Jazz down. That combined with Rudy Gobert being in foul trouble made a perfect environment for the comeback.

Thought it was over and went to sleep. Looks like I missed a greate game ffs.

That East Coast time don't play

Which hot takes are hotter, the first 10 games of the season or the playoffs?

Which hot takes are hotter, the first 10 games of the season or the playoffs?

First 10
Magic were shooting 60% from 3 and were a possible playoff team

 

[angels47]

Weren't the Bulls the best 3 pt. shooting team after 10 games, or was that last year? Good times.
