Exclusive OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JANUARY 2023

Sure, like I said there is a fine line. I actually like some of the showboating because it makes an exciting moment more exciting, like Dame flexing after dunking and don't like others because they just feel lame like Steph's airplane thing he's always doing like a fucking 8 year old.

This is different though because it's leaning towards something like flipping off your opponent. Whether it's the DX version that Embiid did or just the regular crotch shop where your hands land on either side, I doubt any league would be cool with this because the gesture when it originated was objectively telling someone to suck your dick... it was a playful way of doing it but that's what it meant. Just like the middle finger means "fuck you".

 

if the NBA fines anybody it should be Eubanks for that haircut

 

Kyle Lowry for D’Angelo Russell?

 

The impressive GS front office sure did blow it on the Wiseman draft pick.

 

Yeah that was a deep draft. They drafted for need and missed out on a lot of good players. Of course, we traded ours for not much in return.

 

That was a bad one no question. Really busts a bunch of conspiracy theories about LeBron and the Lakers as well?

 

I found this a bit funny as well.

 

That didn't work out well for them at all. But Wiseman is not without skills. There are some things he can do that are quite unique for a big man. But the Warriors have been in a title window and don't really feel they can wait on young players to develop. Also, it is reported that Draymond berates the hell out of this kid and he is quite intimidated when he gets on the floor with him.

But he has potential. Watch his mobility, and how he runs the court after a block.....was the first player to the other end after blocking a shot at the opponents rim. And he actually dunks the ball quite often around the rim....or from the bottom of the FT circle towards the end of the video, and he can shoot the '3' a little. It was a blowout loss to the Nets, but there are some things on there many big men can't do in a pick up scrimmage, let alone in a game. He may never live up to the #2 pick level that he was, but in the right situation, I think he can show more than he has with the Warriors.

 

Would they be as sleepless if they had cost the Blazers a game?

 

I agree, I would like to have him. I was just looking at the list of players they could have had at #2. Granted most of the really good players in that draft were guards/SFs, which they did not need.

 

I don't know why people care so much about a regular season game.

The Lakers suck.

 

Lakers vs Celtics is quite the rivalry.

 

Whatever happened to the old adage "don't count on the refs to decide the game's outcome". Am I to believe the Lakers are the victims of systemic poor officiating? I am sure if you plotted out all the blown calls Lebron would be on the winning side of those.

 

Yes, because they'd be up all night partying.

 

I think only real contenders are Boston, Milwaukee, Philly, Denver, and Brooklyn if healthy. As for the Lakers challenging the Celtics in a regular season game, it means nothing. We blew out the 73-9 Warriors in regular season. Didn’t mean the playoffs were wide open.

 

Denver beat is in playoffs without MPJ and Murray. They’re on a different level than us.

 

So you don’t like Dame pointing to wrist? I kind of agree.
