Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I actually love this, to me it's a bigger flex to treat it as no big deal.

Might just be the wrestling fan in me because I love me some showmanship lol

Give me players pointing at their victim like Kemp or walking over them like Pippen [emoji23]

Nothing about a guy who dunks like a player in an NBA video game before consoles had the power to show emotion is a flex to me.

I don’t mind either of these. To this day, I still crack up at Kemp dapping up Chris Gatling after dunking on him, lol.

Something like those or a mean mug to the person you dunked on is good with me. Because when you dunk on someone like THAT, you just let that speak for you lol

I'm actually a person who screams a lot when I play, but never at other players, a lot of people love it, but taunting is bush league to me.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I don’t taunting especially if it’s provoked.

If we’re playing ball, I’m chilling and you’re talking **** each time and then I proceed to start cooking your ***, oh imma talk my **** aka Reggie Miller/Spike Lee. You gotta pay for your actions, lol

K-Why did you do him like that? [emoji30]

You see jeebs, this is the ONE time where that silly nickname would be acceptable.

Ain’t that right y’all?

LOL

I talk a lot to my teammates. I'm love into getting it with the opponent. I'll give you props here and there. But when someone starts talking ****. I usually go with a weird Andrew Luck approach. Been doing it since jr high school. I'll congratulate you and then talk about a completely different subject. Once a cornerback was talking **** from the very jump of the game. I told him if he had heard about the internet rumor of Tommy Hilfiger not wanting black people to his clothes. After burned him for 2 long touchdowns in that game and that's all I talked about the rest of the game. Tommy this and Tommy that. Months later in the city All-Star game. He told me that **** totally threw him off. He was like "I wore Tommy Hilfiger to the game that day. How this ***** know?" LMAO


But anyway Ayton... coming into his own. Great fit on this team.

Ayton's BBIQ really is a wonderful surprise. The more quality bigs in the league, the better.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

My biggest criticism about Ayton has and still is his lack of...mean streak? Dude just seems way too nice. Like there's the MJ/Kobe types that want to kill you, there's the LeBrons that are levels below that but can maybe get to that killer mode temporarily...and then there's guys like Ayton that just seem too nice and wouldn't squash a bug...you know what I mean? I feel like he doesn't have enough nasty in him to ever straight-up dominate like I think he's capable of doing.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

If im Favors im more embarrassed because Kawhi didn't react at all. Then again those two guys might be legit the two quietest guys in the league, they both probably forgot about the dunk 3 plays later lol

Believe me it wasn’t good when he started. That’s all coach Monty and the vets CP3 and Crowder.

Proud of the guy because so many fans ragged on him for being soft and can’t handle getting a ball thrown at him but I still believed in him.

I defended him from the get go and let the kid grow because he’s really a kid when you hear him interview lol. Just a fun loving guy.

He works so hard all game, screening for Book and CP. Those guys don’t go off without DA. He roles so hard that you have to respect it and guys like Jae and Bridges get open looks.

Well damn what in the world happened?

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Waiting to hear more details, but I'm curious if CP3 was vaccinated.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss Game 5 against the Jazz tonight with a knee injury suffered in game 4, sources tell @ramonashelburne & me. His status for rest of series is in doubt as well.
