Oladipo DNP-CD in the first half.

I love it here

Rotten half. Clean it the fuck up

CLE didn’t play much better. Embiid just dominated

 

[fightinfunbags]

It’s so ridiculous man. Embiid clears out with his elbow and no call. You touch him with a pinky and it’s foul. It’s just hard to watch as great as he is.

Are you talking about the Diakate play? Da fuq? He’s fluke trash and he bangs on Embiid 3 times before he gets the shot up. He fouls him 3 times and you want a whistle for the 11th man and in real life likely a G League player?

 

[Shanemansj13]

How does he go straight up there?!?!? Number 1 he’s not even square to Embiid. Embiid beats him to the spot and he’s late in bringing his arms up. Contact comes before his arms are up…bro. Just be glad that the officials are letting Cavs hand check all over the floor.

Beat him to the spot? He is literally standing there before he got there and his arms were up. Then he just throws his body in the air and some bs up at the rim.

Embiid throwing his elbows around so you have no room to talk

So this is a no contact sport now? If a player is backing you down you have every right to do the same. He isn’t pushing him. It’s a contact sport but throwing an elbow into a players stomach is a foul. Plain and simple. Embiid has done it several times and no call

Hey…I’m doing good. I could be bitching more. Joel switched his pivot foot on that fadaway

Is this a real question?

Ja posted his stuff on social media which violates league rules re: player conduct. There is also the question of him or someone in his group pointing what appeared to at least be laser gun sights at another vehicle. That's why he was suspended.

Miller wasn't charged and it doesn't appear that he violated team rules either.

The only reason anyone knows about Miller is because of what the owner of the gun chose to do with it. There also appears to be no evidence that Miller knew Miles was going to commit a crime when he brought him the gun.

Having said that.If what @Mecca posted earlier re: what the text said is true, that would change things as then he would know that he was taking the gun to a situation that was already heated.

Brandon Miller brought a gun to someone who used it to kill a woman.

He is lucky he is not being charged as accessory to murder.

Yeah but we knew no Allen that would be there. Outside of Maxey shot making the rest didn’t show up. Even Maxey with turnovers. Harden looks meh tonight. Defense and defensive rebounding has been suspect. Harris a non factor again because he’s a pussy and hesitates on catch and shoot. Bench is -8,-7,-10,-11

There no elbow on that play. You’re getting a great whistle with all this hand checking.

Yes, he beats Mobley to that spot, he isn’t square to Embiid and he doesn’t establish verticality prior to contact.

Wow Rockets are smacking the Laker. Can't rest AD man

Bane with the below the belt shot on love. Flagrant 2

 

[Pastafazul]

I like embiids game a lot . If he played as mean as he looked no one would get in his way. Big teddy bear

 

[Pastafazul]

Refs , what can you say

 

[bksballer89]

[Pastafazul]

Wat da fuk…

Did I just see Bigfoot on the Cleveland bench?

 

[thunderc]

Ok, @thunderc

Screw sentimentality.

Fuck em…lol

If something doesn’t change quickly in Houston they can move on to hating teams that only get up to beat them lol

By the way, Arizona is winning the NationalChampionship.
