that’s stupid. there was legit contact that he exaggerated. you could even view it as he genuinely lost his balance and made the fall safer by extending it.

but fine him as the first flop fine of the season when there are so many worse contenders? Jalen Suggs legit acted like he got shot in the head when he pulled jokics hand into his face

Can we take a moment to appreciate how dumb harden is? he literally gave us the ball like 3 times and didn’t catch and shoot when it would have hurt us, and made things so easy for us lmaoo

a fn lot is wrong with you if you get mad over a suggestion for improvement over something that has been consistently an issue. AG has always struggled offensively, but he has an easier time when he gets to be the 4th or 5th option. but you obviously overreact easily so it’s probably better if you just don’t click on anything you know might trigger you, u bum

I think he gets to djokovic, depending on what form sinner, meddy, alcaraz he gets. prime nishikori could even beat current djokovic, he did so against prime Novak in 2014 and other times. but current djok is more similar to fed, who usually had no troubles against him cause he could get out of trouble with his serve, and has a bit more variation now

didn’t care about it to begin with. just wish in a game like this malone gave the young guys more run and purposely tanked the game once we were down by 20 in the half and playing horrible.

Well, we should have seen it coming. Reggie was due for one of his basketball terrorist games, especially with last game’s shot chucking. -26? Gillespie and Pickett couldn’t have been that bad. Gillespie sank a beautiful tough 3 that should have been an and one but was out of bounds. AG should have played stagger on the bench with someone like Nnaji playing with the starters since he’s actually been making his 3s.

Just overall poor effort. We even got beat on the foul numbers. If we can’t guard them without fouling, we should have just fouled.

starters like AG and RJ didn’t deserve it tonight. Maybe if moach would have gone, fuck it and put in Gillespie, Strawther, Pwat, Jokic and MPJ we might have hit like 4 3s all the sudden. With Jokic taking most of the shots, like he did in 2021 when he had literally no one around him, that might have worked.

This was a bad look losing the game that bad, with most of your playoff rotation in when it should have still been looked at as a regular season game, and against the rockets. If we won, we would have had to play possibly more games in the schedule after already playing like 5 in 7 nights, on the road.

You realize with how well Pwat started the season he would have been a lottery pick this year right? He’s only 21, had some solid performances to start the season. But like many others is in a bit of a slump recently. You know we’ve played 5 games in 7 nights this trip and most of them have been on the road. We are down our starting point guard, down our do it all backup to MPJ in Vlatko, and our starting pf and shooting guard are out of place because when Murray and Jokic are the top 2 options, with MPJ the 3rd, then AG/KCP can play the 4th option. We’ve been screwed by the refs every game lately, and we don’t make free throws when we get them at a good enough rate for that not to matter.

This post was an overreaction 100%. Once Murray gets back everything will fall into place, including pwat getting his mojo back, Gillespie/Pickett playing decent spot minutes, Strawther coming in at the KCP/MPJ relief shooter role. At that point Nnaji’s offensive effect will be negligible with the bench unit having the stagger that won it for us last season.

We just need a good rest and reset.

your speculated placebo effect or not, the sport needs to be cleaner.

yes, allowing your top stars to dope and get away with it allows these “superhuman” performances that may draw a ton of fans. but at some point, too much is too much.

like pro cycling, many top pro tennis players take PEDs, some legal, some fringe, and some outright banned for any margin they can get.

but the sport is popular enough now that it needs to start curbing this to allow more parity of opportunity. and you’re seeing those efforts now.

well, no bathroom break first set then.

they take a tiny amount, not enough to affect his fitness. but the idea is that if he took something or takes something with a short lifespan, they’d catch it.

Still we get less free throws than the other team.

And I think it’s time to swap Pickett for Gillespie on the bench. gillespie would have at least gotten an assist and probably made a bucket at some point. plus, he knows how to play with Jokic better.

We really need to figure out our bench. maybe the rotations need to be switched up some.

Pwat seems to have lost a little mojo

rudy fouled with the hold right there. refs freaking suck

Same way, he turned braun into a stud. braun got some dnps last season.

I feel like he’s doing that to gillespie and pickett, too. swapping between each playing backup/3rd string minutes to DNPs.

and i really feel nnaji might still be getting some of that moaching too

he deflected like he usually does and praised the teams passionate defense. that’s what I got from it

where’s the problem? Novak has tanked/withdrawn/retired to preserve himself before. its all fair play if it’s within the rules. unless you think the godfather of medical timeouts, bathroom breaks, excessive ball bouncing, and tanking sets to tire out opponents is not fair play. winning a tournament is more than just winning every match in that tournament. it’s everything leading up to and surrounding it
