[The Q]

So, this feels like it’s going to turn into a blowout.

My heart would appreciate that.

I’m barely breathing right now

Newton shitting his pants

 

[The Q]

Had them on the ropes and commit a dumb shot and dumb foul and b2b possessions by your first round pick…

 

[thunderc]

I just hope the Bama crowd is really enjoying the game

 

[bksballer89]

Didn’t he say Embiid was the MVP a week ago?

Yeah but I think the Embiid sitting out vs Jokic left a bad taste in his mouth

Just mentioned this in the off topic thread...the tourney ends with a fizzle

You unclenched yet? UConn obviously gonna win.

How does this not earn a tech?

I mean the fucking outfit even more so than making contact with the ref and being on the goddamn court?

But, yeah…that stuff too…lol

Don't know. But I'd have ejected her as soon as she came out in that costume.

And earlier this year he was all about Jokic winning 3 in a row. His opinion is whatever ESPN tells him his opinion is. That’s why he has the job. He’s a malleable mouthpiece but that’s how you rise in this profession now. You roll with the hot take they tell you to roll with and you act with conviction like you’re committed to it.

She looks like Strangers With Candy.

Okay….

If I didn’t despise Skip before, I most definitely do now.

Why?

This was one of the greatest trolls in trash talk HISTORY.

Why would he try to take this from me by trying to make it racial?

What a piece of fucking shit.

I do not believe for one second that Bird said the N Word.

Leaving like that insinuates he said something untoward.

If he said Assholes, punks, bitches…say that.

Mentioning that the guys were black and leaving it open pisses me off.

I think Skip is full of shit.

I've heard that story several times over the years, including from guys that were in the locker room and every one of them has said that he said "Which one of y'all is finishing 2nd".

I'd think that if he had used the n-word, someone would have said something by now.

 

[shopson67]

Shai’s last 3 games from the line

13-15
17-17
17-17

Clearly he's getting favoritism from the refs. All they care about is cheating for the Thunder...

 

[shopson67]

If i had to choose 7th seeded with 2 games at home to get instead of 5 and playing the suns, i am going with that option. I would not be excited if the lakers land at 5.

What is he averaging in games that KG plays?

That was just another era. Bird is on record that he played with all the black players around growing up because they were good and they let him play with them at a young age. If anyone has a problem with him as a teenager he would have been dealt wirh. This is as stupid as it gets.

 

[shopson67]

Less weight means less pounding on his foot

Finally, been hoping he would do that for a few years now.

 

[shopson67]

Yeah, he's backpedalling after the nonsense Embiid backlash for no reason.

It's like that old late night skit where they bleep out normal words to make it seem like people are cussing, lol.

Probably closer to 35

 

[shopson67]

Probably closer to 35

I'm just curious. Would seem there would be fewer shots available.

I lied. 31 ppg in the 6 games with kd

@The Q

I am happy for you.

But, this game is a fucking snoozer.

Im actually bored.
