Yeah, he's not going to win one without a team that is good enough in the regular season to let him load manage. This one certainly is not.

You picked Karen for yourself when you acted like waving a gun on social media was some sort of crime deserving reprehension and acted as if everyone else feels the same way as you. Not everyone has as many scorned lover emotional scars from that series as you little guy. Just get over it and move on. Try to find another piece to go with Ant and get back into the playoffs to get your chance at revenge. Otherwise you’ll just be stuck watching Ja and the Grizz every postseason getting that flashback taste of nuts in your mouth as you wish you never blew it all up for Rudy ****ing Gobert. Dry those eyes little buddy. Maybe next year they won’t **** up your chance at a lottery pick and you won’t be stuck in mediocrity too much longer.

Did you read about Mark Jackson leaving Jokic off his ballot altogether?

I don’t care. The NBA does. And they’re going to do shit that negatively affects Ja’s career and his team’s fortunes no matter how small it may seem.

Ja got slapped on the wrist and then did this shit again. He’s addicted to this shit. Just admit he’s a douche wannabe gangsta, man.

There's a #7 seed and a #8 seed in the final 4. It's just more evidence that the regular season doesn't matter in the NBA and he could have load managed all he wanted. It still wouldn't change the fact that he and that 76ers team have consistently underachieved in the playoffs (or that Jokic is a better player than him).

Yeah, he called it a "mistake" after it got revealed.

There's nothing illegal about what Morant did and the Grizzlies suspending him is stupid.

However, being shown on social media 2 months after doing dumb shit at a nightclub and then going on ESPN with Jalen Rose saying he learned his lesson after being in rehab, as well as the altercation with the Pacers in January and the allegations that he allegedly threatened a 17 year-old from a pick up game by pointing to a gun tucked in his pants, isn't exactly a great look.

Do you remember when Gilbert Arenas, who was ****ing stupid for bringing guns into a locker room that were unlicensed and was later convicted with a felony as a result, made a gun gesture in a pre-game huddle while the NBA and police were investigating him? Yeah, it wasn't illegal for doing finger guns towards the Sixers, but it was ****ing stupid to do it and a terrible look for the league.

KC Connection,

1. What's your opinion of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?

2. How much stock do you put into the Player Efficiency Rating?

1. I think he's a top 5ish player in the NBA already with the capability of even more. Once OKC adds some more veteran players who can shoot and defend, they will shoot up the standings.

2. It has its value, but there are also significant flaws there as well (https://towardsdatascience.com/probl...a-fa0e611543e2, https://thedatajocks.com/player-efficiency-rating-per/). In particular, I don't think it measures defensive value well at all (there's to playing it that racking up steals and blocks in a box score).

I’ve admitted he’s an idiot for all the social media shit plenty of times already and just stated I hope he has a real friend that can set him straight. Now I’m just here to laugh at all the overreactions from the other Karen’s that will somehow think what he did is deserving of some HUGE response from the league to send a message. If we want to talk about punishments and criminals why are we not talking about Ant? The one who was actually cited for 3rd degree assault for hitting a security guard from pouting after his gentleman’s sweep. Let’s talk about the actual criminals in the league. Not the ones breaking your social media morals Karen.

LMAO

Would you say Ant "brutalized" that security guard, Ms. Pryor?

I don't know how to make it any more clear to you that I don't give a shit about the gun crap, and I don't care if Ja gets suspended or not. I know how the league operates, and they're probably going to do something about it. They don't want him doing this shit, they made it clear they don't want him doing this shit, and he does it anyway. Somebody already brought up Josh Gordon. This is no different. Ja has a problem, and you're pretty much hand-waving it by not being at least a little bit concerned that his behavior won't eventually lead to something that will have far more serious consequences.

Also, I’m high. Obviously meant half a season and not half game. Haha

Jokic is better than everybody. By a fair margin.

But just like LeBron for 15 years they’re not going to give it to him every year.

And Philly was refried ass when Embiid went out. They may have made the playoffs but they need a better team around him if they’re going to win with him.

:D

LA vs. Boston for 18, LA wins it all, the fellating of the kang gets outrageous. That is the agenda, you heard it here first. One of the all time greats but not the goat, but that is what is being pushed and has been pushed down our throats. I suppose a small price to pay for 18 over the hated celtics and I can stick it to my celtic friends.
