    I wouldn't shake his hand either after that.

    If Draymond thinks you have to shake hands after a loss like that he would have never survived the 80’s-90’s era.

    LeBron has walked off without shaking hands or sometimes left before the game/series was even over. He didn't get that much flak for it.

    Not from other players but people posting on here definitely were up in arms about it. I don't think it's an issue, I think it fucking sucks for these crazy competitors to lose a series they expected to win and so emotions are going to get the better of them at times. I a player wants to go and congratulate the team that just took him out then that's cool and if he doesn't I think that's fine to.

    Pretty big win for Philly in Boston.

    Harden still got it. A cold blooded dagger of a 3.

    Sixers might be my least favorite team but that was rough.

    I think one of my daughters best traits on the field, no matter what happened, when the games over, she runs down and shakes the hand of the other teams keeper and works her way back to the refs, even when her teammates are jumping up and down or pouting about the outcome. Have had opposing coaches mention it to me about her.

    CP3 is cooked

    CP3 being healthy for the playoffs is about the likelihood of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard being healthy at the same time

    I don’t feel bad with CP3 getting hurt, they beat the Clippers without Kawhi and PG13. It’s part of the game

    Look at all the help for the Joker, they don’t even need Murray and Porter Jr

    There was a point in the 4th where both teams looked exhausted. They were firing bricks. Phoenix only scoring 87 is surprising.

    Really like this Denver team.

    They're starting to get some good play from their bench too, which is big for them.

    I agree Denver looks like the team to beat but Pope won’t shoot like that on the road.
