Scott Foster is smelling his own farts again.

A fairly questionable foul call and a ridiculous ejection for Scottie Barnes. I wish the league would do something about this egomaniac.

[Superbone]

Powerful man.

[Mori Chu]

That "turned to the side, tears coming out its eyes, laughing" emoji is such a tell. It's the official emote of, "I'm not mad, I'm actually laughing!!"

[ShelC]

That's a weird tweet, taking shots at guys in the league. Unless it's marketing/buzz for his kid ala Lavar Ball.

[bajanguy008]

However people might try to spin that
That tweet is not cool

[Wally_West]

Perk is just the worst. Had so many shitty takes on Jokic this past week and just doubles down on his stupid shit.

[Shabazz]

I hate that guys like Perk and Pat Bev get platforms just because they have radically stupid opinions that will generate views. There are plenty of bright ex-players out there that are so much more entertaining and knowledgeable.

Interesting
Didn't notice this, at a glance still seemed like they were ballin

Yeah, Bronny is much better than those chumps.

[TOO]

Ja Warrant is gonna stick with me for a very long time.

Damn, Warriors lose to OKC while letting them dropped 137 on them.


Idk, I just don’t believe in the warriors this year. I know many in media keep hyping them up as contenders this year, which I understand but I just don’t buy it. I just not afraid of them like I was last year. Could I see them in the WCF or even the finals? Sure but I feel like a lot has to right for them and a lot has to go wrong for other teams (us and the nuggets mainly).

[Superbone]

Now OKC has to get on a plane tonight so they can take on the Durant led Suns in Phoenix tomorrow night. Rough.

The Dubs are scary at home, just awful on the road.

They’re pretenders without Wiggins and GP2.

[Shabazz]

These 2 posts should be moved to the “appreciation” thread so we can keep it alive forever.

What happened to Wiggins? I don't remember him getting injured.
