Did not. He finally got around to shooting fts like he did at kentucky.

That's a crazy streak he has going. It would cool if he could carry it into the playoffs.

In the Summer League?

Easy, my guy.

I really like him.

But, he got abused by Lofton Jr.

Let’s see him play a preseason game against actual rotation guys.

I think he still holds up.

But, not with those unreal Summer League stats.

That was bananas.

Hopefully he’s not about to try to muscle up against anyone, he can protect the rim without having to do that.

Damn

I am so not confident in this game against Phoenix tonight!

Realistically AD should absolutely dominate against them, with Ayton being out.

But this also seems like the perfect game to fuck up!

I've always wondered what it would feel like to dunk over someone. The only hops I've ever had were in my beer.

Years ago when I was working at a treatment facility for abused kids, we had 2 basketball hoops that were set at 8 feet for the kids. The facility decided to have a 2 on 2 basketball tournament for staff.

My teammate and I were playing against a team that a friend of mine was on and I threw a great dunk down on him.

8 feet or not, I talked mad shit at him after that. lol

Never miss a chance to f up!

Oh, LAWD….lol

By more, I’m assuming you mean the other end of the floor?

Bertans plays defense worse then ….shit, almost everyone.

Chet will have an immediate impact there…imo

Defense, handles, etc. Bertans is pretty much shooting only.

Yep.

Zach LaVine on MVP: I think Joel Embiid has it wrapped up this year... He should have won one already

KC Johnson: Zach LaVine on Joel Embiid’s MVP candidacy: “I think he shoulda won one already. I think Jokic has been incredible too. He’s won back-to-back, so you don’t take anything away from him. …

Shocked Ayton's not playing. Any chance Durant surprises and plays tonight lol? Seems like everyone comes back in time to play the Lakers lately. Booker will probably go for 60...

If I had to guess, I’d say acl.

Some of those guys have great flexibility.

But, the knee was not designed to withstand that type of torque.

I think it’s bad.

This fucking guy…lol

You can’t talk shit about a future HOFer after sitting out 51 games because you’re fucking soft.

But, no way Durant returns yet and I’m looking forward to your team shutting Booker’s pie hole.

What is normal? Well not you. Comment # 28,747 you said to someone else clearly you don't make sense. That's what I meant by why can't you be normal. And you rarely make any sense.

If you've only seen Jokic play for a grand total of 10 minutes all season you're in no position to be saying anything at all. It would be funny if the game you watched a whopping ten minutes of was late in the fourth quarter.

"I only watch Knicks game"

Then you're not an NBA fan. Just a Knicks fan. Which is fine. But stop commenting about other players since you watch next to nothing with the exception of the team you like.

Some people have it , some don’t.

I can pick out an athletes attributes very quickly even if I haven’t seen much of them

Case and point , butler from Miami , the dude possesses an incredible amount of strength for his size. I saw a player bounce off him as if he were a brick wall . He’s a very special player.

Get back to jokic.. he’s a 747 wide body on the court who has good hands , great presence on court who plays with an edge. He could play point if he had to but he is way too slow. He sees the whole court. Ohhh I saw the shot Morris gave him, and he came back at him much harder . You don’t fuk with jokic.

I’m a Knicks fan, they have sucked for a long time! That’s what has kept me away from game.

And this load mgmt shit, is reason I watch even less .

Hockey is the premiere sport for me cause these guys play. Ain’t about money , rest and the biggest reason I love hockey, they play through injury. Blood spewing all over the ice, they leave and back on ice after gettin stitched up.

Basketball tho , is still the greatest sport with the best althetes in the world . Lebron is doin everything in his power to fuk it up

Knicks at Miami tonight

How the hell is Miami -2 ?

Somebody missing from the Knicks ?

Only out 2-3 weeks. Should be back for game 1

Well Miami, Butler, hockey and LeBron have nothing to do with you trying to form an opinion of player you've only seen play for ten minutes.

You could have saved yourself some time by just saying you only pay attention to the Knicks and don't watch other teams play.

The funny thing is you supposedly follow the Knicks yet I remember you saying absurd things like all star caliber players don't want to play in N.Y. because they're afraid of the media.

And more more stupid thing you've said in the past. Dolan isn't the reason the Knicks have pretty much sucked this entire century because the Rangers don't suck.

You really have said some silly things.

God damn!!!

I mean, fuck the Clippers, but I hate to see players injured.

I want to beat them, and see them get beaten. But not like this!
