Growing pains. They shouldnt even have gelled this quickly. Their road record is not good, but this should get better as season goes on.

Of course because Luka didn't suffer a broken ankle from Marcus and because Jokic did not suffer rib injuries that is why una dey dey justify nonsense. Instead of advising players to play clean and not make unnecessary fouls in the name of basketball plays una go dey conflate causation with correlation

If that elbow caught his temple wouldn't Stewart's lights have been put out? Would it still have been a basketball play? Nonsense

Unverified Rumors saying that Simmons will be coming back soon because he is going broke shocked shocked
Lmaooo. I struggle to believe this. Its really sad though that he is self sabotaging in such a spectacular manner, Hacks like Rich Paul can't talk to him and are leading him further astray. How are you ok with wasting your prime? Wasting a gift and privilege to compete at the highest level. Just shocking

If this is true I can see why he would have cashflow issues

Remember when I said all the NBA owners have intentionally refused to give him an escape route out of Philly to teach him and others a lesson? Everyone is just coming up with potential trades, nothing concrete but it almost looks like the owners have warned their GMs to stay away from that trade. E don too much for these spoilt brats!

I love this sooo much.. I predicted this two seasons ago and I can't wait for the next collective bargaining. Simmons has done a lot of damage to his reputation and it will take a lot for any dressing room to trust him. Him and Rich don tire with their rubbish? haha..

Just a reminder that Markieff Morris still hasn't played a game since Jokic inflicted that blindside whiplash on him. That's 9 games now. Plus he hasn't travelled with his team for their four-game roadtrip. Imagine some people compared his whiplash to an elbow. I can't believe some people even accused him of flopping.
"Where I'm from, bullies get bullied", words from the all loving Z-Bo. You don't have to be an OG to remember that quote. Watching bullies get bullied is karma in its righteousness. Markieff will be alright. You don't worry. He will be alright and behave himself hence forth. grin

Just so stupid. For me the fact that he is so chickenshit to take the court in Philly tells me he's not really been in the lab working on his game. He's been practising for the Gram and of course the time to show and prove has come and suddenly he developed mental issues.

The idea that any serious minded GM serious about building a winning culture would want a player like Simmons is bizarre to me. Respect to Morey for standing his ground. Selfish brats like Simmons will Bleep up the bag for the next generation of players and next thing you know owners will start pushing for non guaranteed contracts like the NFL

Jokic will be hard fouled many more times in this league by many more players. So there's no message he sent. Trust me if he does what he did the last time he's getting more games than he got the last time.

It's ironic how you're a proponent of hard plays and yet you want people to retaliate whenever they're the victim. Why can't they play on and wait for their own moment to pay back? At least that would be better. Instead of bitching around and attacking someone behind his back.

Why has no one done it since then?

You no notice say everybody dey respect himself dis days? Even LeBum nearly chop am from Stewart, no time!

Nobody say make you no try dirty play but anything wen come after that one Na your cross. There is hard foul and there is dirty/ nasty play.

Hopefully, the dirty play on Jokic is worth the 9 games off and neck injury for Markieff.

That's what I've been trying to tell steady, nobody is supporting violence,but the fact of the matter is that the Morris twins are habitual line steppers, remember what they did to Luka's ankle during the bubble playoffs.
Jokic just sent a message that their habit and anyone who also has it, should lock it up when it comes to him.

PS: all Morris needed to do was tap Jokic in the arm to pick up the foul which was his objective. But IMHO, he then tried to punk him while doing it, but Jokic was having none of that.

No way Marcus Smart should be your starting PG. Instead of creating looks for Brown and Tatum he's out shooting and outbricking them. shocked

This is gnarly dude

To God, if dem spam one more 3, I will give them spiritual knock. I don't understand why we are not going for our best shot which is interior bucket.

Well, now they have made 3 consecutive buckets, guess how? Attacking the paint! Don't write them off though. This game is still available for the Celtics to win if we play to our strength and stop spamming 3s.

Come on man! That was an obvious foul. How on earth did Tatum not get that call.

All 5 of your top players bricking and shooting catastrophically on the same night. This is insanity. 25% combined from the field
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:12am On Nov 27, 2021
Tatum calm down! I know you are frustrated with yourself and calls but just calm down, the game is still within reach.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:24am On Nov 27, 2021
These refs just love to see Tatum suffer.. See hacking, no calls, throughout the game..

Even Spurs commentators are shocked with how he being officiated against their own team oh!

One ligament don burst already. He wasn't making a super dunk or highlight reel when it happened but one drawback of Ja's explosiveness is risk of injuries like this. He's going to have to modify his game coming back from this injury. The good thing is he's quite young and he has shown the ability to learn new things very fast.

15 straight wins right after a NBA finals appearance, mehn the Phoenix suns are not getting enough respect. The core of the team is still young and improving, it's very balanced with minimal deficiencies, great coaching infused with Cp3 poise and experience they look like the best team in the west to me unless Klay and Wiseman comeback on fire or lebron somehow figures out the Laker's problems.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:35am On Nov 27, 2021
Every Lakers game na struggle. Doesn't matter if they are facing Dodan Warriors. The Kings are shorthanded fgs

When a team is well coached and everyone knows their roles. Ayton is also pissed off and playing for a contract. One guy in that Suns lineup that is really flying under the radar is Cam Johnson. That boy is nice and super underrated
