Event Around the 2025 NBA Playoff Madness!

Don’t tell me for a second that Jokic doesn’t flop regularly as well.

 

Exactly.

Jokic won MVP by flopping, but SGA is on a different level.

 

Flopping is a part of the game. It’s become part of the art of the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if flopping is secretly included in NBA practice. It will be included in the game and you will see more & more of it until the NBA really does something about it.

 

Agreed, a lot of fake sports have real athleticism

 

I’m playing game with the 7yo. We’re tossing a mini ball into a mini basket. When we shoot we pretend we are our favorite player (he says “I’m LeBron James” and I say “I’m Damian Lillard”). If we make it we do our player’s celebration but if we miss, we have to say “oh no I’m Kobe Bryant!”

 

Yeah they do. They beat the Lakers & Warriors to get here. OKC has been doing this to their opponents all season long.

 

Deserve has nothing to do with it. They’re outmatched but neither the Lakers nor the Warriors would be doing any better.

 

But they won the games that got them here. i mean if old man Steph's health is going to dictate who does and doesn't deserve to be where they're at we'll be in a really weird spot.

 

Was he just doing a tribute to Reggie miller?

Either way I'm totally fine with it. It's a game and I miss all the trash talking I grew up with in the 80/90s.

I hate when now most stars throughout the league are buddy buddy and thinking more of how to ditch their team and join up together days after the season ends than battle.

Jordan, Bird, Magic, Isiah never would've tried to jump ship and form a super team like LeBron, Durant, Butler, Harden, and eventually even Dame ultimately did.

 

Ah yes the grand conspiracy of the NBA to get stars and titles to all the tiny markets.

 

It's always been like that.

Think some people forget Jordans final seasons on the Bulls....it was just him parading to the line.

 

They were in the WCF last year.

Who "belongs" in the WCF more than the Wolves?

 

This is a parity year between big market eras. You gotta let the small markets get one occasionally. Have you even watched wrasslin?

 

Yeah, that's fair enough. They have definitely got by with other teams missing their best guy or guys.

 

We’re still paying for Rasheed Wallace threatening to blow the ref scandal wide open.

 

(Yes I’m just saying shit for giggles)
