You're defending Harden, your opinion could not be more invalid.

I liked Harden, I just wish it'd ended less messily with the rockets. It gets worse, there are some rockets 'fans' who supported Harden more than the rockets and have now switched to supporting the nets. Being a giants fan and a rockets fan has done a great job at lowering my expectations though.

Fucking Porzingis.
He's a unicorn alright, I've never seen a so called elite player fuck up in so many ways. He hasn't developed at all since 2018 and he has no hustle whatsoever.

Also shut the fuck up "commentators" Suns in 5

Just game 1, Naz. Don't waste all your rage so early.

Lebron will receive no punishment for violating virus protocol. Yup, no bias for their golden boy here. I don't normally agree with Chuck, but he put it best: They "Ain't got the balls to suspend Lebron".

Never. I am going to be pissy at Bumzingis until Mark Cuban trades him for a real player.

We all knew that. Fuck the NBA. Even that bullshit call near the end of the play-in game proved that they are full of shit. There was no hooking of the fingers, no raking of the eyes, and no part of that player's fingers touched Lebron's eyeballs. Not to mention that if he did get poked in the eye, there would have been NO way that he would have hit that 3 pointer.

It's all bullshit and the league needs to stop showing favoritism to him and the Lakers.

There's been favoritism towards the Lakers for decades, just read the article I linked to and continue reading into the discussion of various matchups over the years, this has been going on for probably longer than I've been alive.

(Before someone says "hey 95X, 2000 WCF, Game 7" either seriously or as a joke, objectively speaking the winner won that one fair and square as the opponent only played 36 minutes. Also, I don't watch any games any longer, I just check to see what's happening once in a while.)

Suns take game 1, even with King Douche doing his best flop job to get someone ejected.

by **Impaled Nazarene** » Sun May 23, 2021 4:27 pm

Suns
in
5

Imagine being a Top 5 player of all time and faking injures.
"Ball don't lie" if you're not getting suspended you're getting eliminated.

I'll pull for the Suns all playoffs if they manage to beat Lebron and his pals on the ref team.

I would find it strange if Lebron faked being injured on a Chris Paul foul honestly. The two of them are like the closest friends in all of basketball, he's not going to try and get him ejected.

Well, here's a sentence you don't hear a lot: The Knicks just won a playoff game.

Even crazier: The Knicks won a game WITHOUT a superstar.

Chris Paul injured his shoulder.
Fuck the NBA
LeBron better not lose to the Nets.

I think he was just faking to get off the court. Cause when he got popcorn thrown on him, that injury sure went away quick...

That was Russell Westbrook.

The Bucks decided to do something for once, that or it turns out that everyone in the east choked against Miami last year.

Yeah, it definitely feels like their Finals appearance last year was a giant fluke.

Suns steal one in LA. Kickass.

YOU'RE FUCKING BLOWING IT AGAIN DALLAS! IF YOU DON'T STOP FUCKING CHOKING LUKA IS LEAVING YOU FOR LA!

I was happy about that. Did a happy dance in the middle of my dive bar.

The funny man who chucked his water bottle at Kyrie is being charged with "Assault and battery with a dangerous weapon". Seems a little overkill. It's a water bottle.

He won't be found guilty. No jury in their right mind will find a water bottle to be "a dangerous weapon", especially since you saw nothing coming out of it, which means it was empty.

Unless the league now thinks that ane empty water bottle can crush a skull....
