this was upsetting on several levels, and i think it's important that people understand that he was a 5th overall pick that his team is just glad to move on from. remember when gnashing teeth about our failed 17th picks.
Donovan Mitchell had enough of the Nutcracker's ****, plus the biased announcers somehow missed the shove to the back of the head that wasn't called a foul. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AzWfhfiVKw0
the shove by green is just b******* there. and i don't want to hear this "well in the old school" crap, either. you do that at the gym and you get busted. mitchell held back on what i'd have done, size difference be damned. and i can say that, because i'm small and have done it. you don't get to cheap shot me just because the ref missed it. you're going to end up on your a** very soon, friend.
The ever-delightful Dillon Brooks has already reached his 16 technicals and will miss a game. Too lazy to look it up, but it has to be one of the earliest in the season to 16. Did Sheed Wallace get 16 before the All Star break? Meanwhile, I see Screamin' A. Smith is asking if the All Star game has lost its luster. For me, it did, like 20 years ago when the West beat the East 212-198 or whatever the hell that was. And it was building up to that atrocity of no-D. It's just boring as hell to me, and now they'd really have to do something drastic to win me back. I will watch the dunk contest. That's always amusing. But the game? It's all about no-D and not getting injured. Shirts vs. Skins down at the playground is more innarestin' to me. I always want all my guys (Lakers) to beg off or be "injured" and take the week off the relax and recover for the real games. After the break...We into the stretch!
tuned in for a few minutes of wolves/mavs and man that beringer guy looks REALLY good. i think slick was the first one on that bandwagon around here. if he wasn't behind gobert and naz reid, i think he'd be on a lot more radars. we argue front offices a lot, but i still think tim connelly has been killing it for years. and he does it in smaller markets while being forced to make tough choices, imo.
Dunn is a great get by the Clippers. He was lost in the Bulls and is a legitimate contender rotation piece. We gotta find these guys across the league in the next couple years, like we tried already with LaRavia Drives me crazy Boston winning games for fun with Queta, Scheiermam, Gonzalez, Walsh, Garza playing meaningful minutes at different points of the season
key point here is the pressure, imo. nobody expected anything out of boston this year, so it's easier to perform. kinda like how the clips became world beaters once their season was effectively over.
