The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[HOU$TON]

At this point I’d slide brooks to the 2 and let Tari start at the 3. Spacing can’t be any worse than it already is. Jalen is at rock bottom. If he even played like an average starting shooting guard the rockets would be a top 4 seed in the west.

Single handedly tanking the team

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Man, Monty has been through a lot and I’m sure he’s a great person, but the man has had a winning record in ONE season without Chris Paul. He ain’t gonna be the guy to turn this team around.

 

[HOU$TON]

How’s Amen Thompson looking? He’s barely getting any playing time. Is it a ramp up? Or does he have to earn his minutes?

He’s off to a slow start due to injury and an illness he was battling. He’s trying to get his feet under him right now. The counting stats aren’t jumping off the stat sheet but he’s improving by each game.

Actually a little disappointed that happened ngl. No laws were broken but the image isn’t doing himself any favors.

And coming from as far from a thug there could be .

Think Gil actually did that before his gun suspension.

Fake outrage over a dance

 

[Mister Meaner]

And the dance mimics some trigger pulling action on some heavy artillery from the looks of it.

Is still him choosing to do that it in the context of his suspension.

There’s a **** ton of other stupid dances homie could’ve done but he went guns blazing.

And he didn’t even rock his hips first, he went straight for the guns

 

[datznasty]

Clearly intentional, he normally would have gone for one of those feminine *** vogue-y dances he likes. But let him rock, we had a whole *** dude nicknamed AK47 in the league for while and nobody cared

And people were recently referring to Reaves as AR-15.

 

[g-time]

Did those guys get suspended for carrying their guns where they shouldn’t and flashing their guns on IG after already being suspended for it?

So we’re equating that with ppl giving nicknames based on their initials and jersey numbers lol

 

[king j]

Maybe it’s me,but I’m from NOLA ,so I get the reference and it dont bother me at all.


I’m a big proponent of people being able to be themselves not “walk on eggshells”

Zion gon have to hit this in Memphis when they win

 

[RustyShackleford]

Ja either lacks self awareness, or is trying to mock his situation and be coy about it.

I don't think he should be punished for it. But I feel people calling out his buffoonery is fair game.

He was a clown, and probably still is one.

 

[lawdog1]

The fact Ja’s dance/gesture is even open to any interpretation makes it a big nothing to me.

Until another video appears of him with a real gun or he gets in another off-court altercation, let him live I say.

 

[king j]

Tee tryna hit the Beenie weenie

 

[bhzmafia14]

Here we go again

You overthinking it pleighboi

 

[rolaholic]

Yea definitely looks like he was doing that dance more than anything, being in New Orleans and all. Don't think it was deeper than that.

Wouldn't expect most of us in here to be up on game with the latest regional dances as a 24 year old would though

 

[RustyShackleford]

AK47 came about because of his initials, jersey number, and him being Russian

Austin Reeves same thing

If there was well known rifle called the JA12, and that was his only attachment to guns, that would be one thing

But Ja's attachment to guns in the NBA came from him flashing one on a work trip, while livestreaming

 

[RustyShackleford]

You overthinking it pleighboi

So Ja happened to do a dance where it involves pretending to hold a firearm

That is attached to a song called "Get the Gat"

Which (the dance) was last popular years ago

After he got in trouble for flashing guns, multiple times

Yep, probably just a coincidence

 

[rolaholic]

Cool as hell

Booker T will forever be that dude

 

[addict4sneakers]

He could have just hit the choppa style and went about his day

 

[DripNick]

Call of duty is a fairly popular game
