The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Softest guy in the league

Why do people think it is soft to try to get the ref to make a call in your favor?

almost every star in the last 35 years does this in one way or another.

Will be interesting.

I thought he would have a bigger role.

You think that is more because he hasn’t been shooting so well? Or because Cason Wallace has developed faster than expected?

He is just now fully healthy, he had a hip injury. He struggled a bit getting integrated into the offense but he’s getting close now. I definitely see more minutes for him, especially at crunch time. Wallace may be a little of it though, that dude is a player.

This is so true and it has to be very aggregious for Coach D to speak out on the subject. That’s his new nickname, I’m tired of trying to spell it

OKC Thunder Coach Frustrated With Lack of Fouls on Jalen Williams

The Oklahoma City Thunder routinely drive to the basket, looking to bend the defense and put pressure on the rim. Few embody that more than its superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and rising star Jalen Williams.

He falls on the floor on every shot. He jumps sideways into defenders then cries to the refs. Extremely soft and he is a flop artist.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Some kind of choke.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

LOL.

Put you on an NBA court for 5 minutes and I guarantee that opinion would change.

Ooooo, maybe he's got NBA experience...?

I have some too....because as a fan I've been to a bunch of games over the years.
Had a few court side seats too.

Flopping is not soft

It is strategic.

Every good offensive player does it.

Some better than others.

I got to sit like 4 rows up for a few games when I was a teenager.

Nothing quite like seeing the best of the best up close like that. Watching it on TV does not do justice to how intense the game is.

Marc Stein says the Nuggets and Bulls have talked about a deal involving Zach Lavine,

Lavine/Torrey Craig for Porter Jr/Nnaji was the initial deal but the Bulls don't want Nnaji

I wouldn't either

 

[thunderc]

Seemed like it had to be part of the plan but good to see it finalized

Any kid that models their game after Jalen Brunson is a bitch and is getting no calls in their league because none of the calls are legit. It's just a new york market call.

 

[eaglesnut]

Calls are more lenient to obvious violations in today’s game. You can’t refute that. Move along

The nba is these guys' momma. Don't talk shit on it. Even when she's a fat hoe that can't make a sandwich.

 

[Jordan23]

LOL.

Put you on an NBA court for 5 minutes and I guarantee that opinion would change.

And put me on the court decades ago and my mind would still agree.

Ah. But see…

Jalen Brunson is a normal dude in a league of athletic freaks. He is a perennial all star and he made it off his skill, savvy and toughness.

There is a lot to admire there.

And a lot more realistic for a kid to model his game after a guy like Brunson than it is to model Ja Morant or any number of physical freaks in the NBA.
