[amitt5504]

just what the sixers needed man - The hustle and athleticism alone was great to see.. someone who hustle for actual boards ?? Tobias would never

also

Leave Tobias outta this lol the slander should be directed towards Niang

 

[lynchpin33]

Wonder how serious they took him, being that he referred to black player(s) as “quick little monkeys”

Grant went full Carlton.

Man if there’s someone or a group of people who can be funny and insightful about NBA coverage, they could eat.

NBA talk is in shambles

 

[getback]

JJ was on the verge of tears

Detective Redick at it again…?

Who knew

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

How can JJ even say that bias doesn't exist? How would he even know?

 

[pmatic]

WTH did Perk even say?

JJ was on the verge of tears

Perk said Jokic was stat padding last week, then doubled-down and said Dirk/Nash/Jokic got their MVPs even though they weren't top 10 in scoring because they were white.

 

[rolaholic]

Yea he's usually on point with his analysis a lot of the time but he's got a blindspot in this particular discussion.

Basketball media is not exempt from some of the same biases that exists within society...

 

[Blue Mamba]

Whoa…

JJ got Perk worked into a shoot Look at him getting all emotional someone called him out on his BS. Then he starts yelling and repeating because he thinks that makes him right. What a clown

 

[lovehateself]

anyone named "perk" or " big perk" definitely a big time hater
and hes leaning into it

Leave Tobias outta this lol the slander should be directed towards Niang

niang gets his slander to but he is bench/role player not someone making $37M this year.. we already know what it is with niang.. if he not hitting C&S 3s he is useless - we don't use him for his defense

Tobias when his shots not falling sure he plays avg defense but what else does he do? sure as hell don't hustle, don't cut to the basket, dribbles out of open 3s to drive into defenders and when he drives its most likely an offensive foul lol

i know you was at the heat game last night so you aint watch the sixers game prolly just looked at score sheet - but McDaniels with Harden/Embiid/Maxey was very fun to watch and something we haven't had in a very long time

either way Jalen needs more than 20mins a game whether thats cutting mins from Pj tucker or Tobias

Niang was trash on defense got hit with 3 quick fouls which brought D House Jr in

Just rename the the MVP the Great White Hope award.

Tbh I’d rather McDaniels start over Tucker to add more athleticism and range

Any slander at a journeyman making the minimum or close to it should be directed at the coach for playing him and/or the front office for signing him.

Same with Russ & the Clippers.

 

[B Sox]

There is definitely a bias against US born players lately

As far as the MVP race goes? Nobody has been touching Yanni and Joker these last several years other than KD and Steve, who both can’t stay healthy.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

As expected…there are Warriors fans in the replies caping for him.

Someone needs to do a case study on the Warrior fans that think that kid is really the next AD. It’s insane. Now they think he’s Detroit’s franchise player

 

[pmatic]

There will be a four minute stretch in a playoff game that Niang loses for the Sixers because he takes a few bad threes or turns it over because he's too slow. I can feel it.

 

[nick.]

Which American born player has lost an award, All-Star selection, etc. to a foreign player that wasn't deserving themselves?

 

[amitt5504]

Niang is a solid player but he overhelps too much on defense and adds nothing when the shot isn’t falling

Tobias is overpaid yes but he’s also an elite defender that we don’t have
