Why is Beasley playing?

He knows a great weed guy

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

What did Looney do to deserve that 3rd foul?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Let's just keep it real. 18 points 4 rebounds 2 assists is a solid 3rd player on a good team. Wiggins should not be sniffing the all star game. And if you are going to say it's just a popularity contest, then we need to stop using x- number all star appearances as a stat to judge how great a player is. Plain and simple.

should be like MLB where fan voting is a factor but not a huge deciding factor

 

[WiggyRuss]

Um, yes. Because he's a front court player.

its kind of embarrassing for him in a way.

The fuck you talking about? He's like 6'9"

 

[WiggyRuss]

The fuck you talking about? He's like 6'9"

being an all star starter in general.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

The free masons really impressed with Beasley's brick laying ability.

 

[msgkings322]

being an all star starter in general.

I mean, I'm sure he gets why he's there. But he's still gotta be kinda psyched, it's his first time. He is having his best year ever. He'll never live up to his draft level and he's overpaid, but he matters and if the Ws go deep in the playoffs he will be a big part of it

Another patented Warriors 3rd quarter beatdown

 

[msgkings322]

This team is really an ensemble not a superstar dominated team. Especially this year with Curry off. It's 1 great player playing less great, 3 very very good ones, and a very deep bench. Throw in the dominant defense, they're as much a contender as anyone.

Windhorst on podcast today to paraphrase "I will get in trouble for saying this- but Mobley looks like a combo of Garnett on defense and Bosh on offense".

And shitting the bed in the 4th in just 2 minutes LOL

 

[WiggyRuss]

He could be guarding Trae Young on the perimeter, or jostling with Karl-Anthony Towns down low, and there would be no signs of panic from the Cavaliers defense. Mobley can do everything a coach needs on the defensive end of the floor; his name will be in the mix for an All-NBA Defensive team, an honor that hasn’t been accomplished by a rookie since Tim Duncan in the 97-98 season.

The most aesthetically pleasing component of Mobley’s defense is his vertical contests. The former Trojans’ slender arms combined with his leaping ability gives opponents headaches when they finally make it through the ravenous Cavaliers defense. He’s third in the league in contested shots, yet the most jaw-dropping part is that Mobley averages just 2.1 fouls per game. He is altering shots with the poise of a veteran big man.

And shitting the bed in the 4th in just 2 minutes LOL

Combine that with the wolves tendencies to shit the bed in the 3rd and then fight to get it back in the 4th. This is what you get.

 

[msgkings322]

Now that was a throwback Splash Brothers moment!

 

[msgkings322]

Holy smokes that put back slam by Vanderbilt was filthy

 

[msgkings322]

Team win, like 6 guys were all good to great. Steph finally big again.

 

[wildturkey]

I can’t wait to hear what dude was saying to get Melo so fired up.

According NBA Reddit/Twitter, the guy kept calling him "boy". "Get in the corner, boy. "Keeping shooting, boy". Really stepping on those racial lines

 

[wildturkey]

Well shit. AD looked great but has already hurt himself. Said post game he hurt his wrist and his knee is sore. Looks like we getting Street Clothes again tomorrow for the Hornets game

Draymond Green: Cleveland Cavaliers' Darius Garland should be an All-Star Game lock

Taking to Twitter, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green said Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland should be a lock for the NBA All-Star Game.

Draymond Green, the four-time first-team All-Defense selection listed Garland among the toughest players in the league to guard.
“Darius Garland actually,” Green said, according to Cavaliers Nation. “And I know that’s probably an unpopular opinion. That kid is so fast, so herky-jerky and he can shoot the ball. When he really figures out how good he truly is.
“I hate getting switched onto him. It’s rough getting switched onto Darius Garland.”


“He definitely has a [All-Star] case. When we get to All-Star there’s going to be some snubs around here. We all know that, we all can prepare for it,” Dwyane Wade said of Garland. “But he’s put together his resume and his resume is as good as anybody's.


Darius Garland deserves to be in the All-Star Game," Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell, a two-time All-Star, said after Garland recorded a triple-double in a Cavs' win over Utah earlier this month. "A night like tonight, he didn't shoot well and still had a major impact on the game. You could definitely stamp that -- I think you should and all people should. Because what he's doing now is next level."
