    He only rolls with established name brand, marquee superstar players. Lakers, Warriors... these are his teams. Bron, AD, Curry... He wouldnt know raw or even unrealized talent, let alone coaching or scouting and pure basketball analysis that Legs and Windy breaks down.

But then expecting nobody to abuse steroids and have them ruin their life, and especially to clutch pearls at the thought that athletes might use them despite it hurting the integrity of the game

    Correct.. Sixers fan, from Philly- they are really rolling the dice with Embiid. He is not someone who should be playing at less than 100%. They are risking his long term health (next year) in a season that has very little to no chance of ending in a championship. Poor ownership and poor management, it has been this way for years.

    She's talking about how sports gambling has gone from taboo and illegal in many contexts to, in a few short years, being promoted constantly in advertising and blasted inside and outside of arenas throughout pro sports. It changes the psyche of the population who are exposed to it constantly. It normalizes betting on games. It will inevitably breed more addiction, which is maybe what she is referring to as far as mental health.

    The Knicks only got 1 allstar Their other star all nba player Julius Randle is out for the season. Sixers still got 2 allstar caliber players in Maxey and Embiid. Embiid was a league MVP. Y’all are arguing the Sixers could lose because Embiid is only 90%?? He needs to be 100% for the Sixers to beat a Knicks team missing its second best player completely??? Quiet as kept y’all are admitting who you believe the better team is. Cause that sounds like a lot of bs and excuses.

NN is one of the best tactician, if nit the best defensively in the league. Don't be surprise if he introduce some junk defense in this series. I think Batum along with Oubre will be the key guys get thrown on Brunson. Don't underestimate Kyle either. His impact is not measured in stats.

    Maybe Randle being out is a good thing. He's 0-2 in the playoffs stepping up. It's a win-win situation for the Knicks. They lose, they will for surely improve the roster (even moving Randle in the offseason or within the last year of his contract) and get another star to pair with their system focusing on Brunson. They win, they will progress even further to being a title contender without another all-star who seemingly chokes in the playoffs.

  • @Docwell
    @Docwell14 күн бұрын

    It is so obvious that none of these people watched the game. His injury wasn't the reason he wasn't playing his normal game, it was the zone defense and double/triple teams. If teams do that in the future he literally could have legs sealed in cement and he'd be fine because his only job at that point is to pass the ball, which he's shown he can do. The problem in the beginning of the game was that he was trying to do too much while they were just refusing to let him play his normal game. This lead to stagnant offense and turnovers. Then in the second half Nick Nurse adjusted and they basically just used Embiid as a distraction. He also looked perfectly normal on defense. So, this narrative from the media about this injury being somehow different now than it was a few weeks ago is just proof they don't watch the games and just run with these weird narratives.

    They literally lost that game because of Caleb Martin. Tough to say. He missed two free throws, which would’ve put them up 13. The crowd was hyped for free chicken, got the fans engaged, then, immediately after the two missed free throws, Batum makes a three. So instead of being down 13, with a set defense, it’s now an 8 point game. Then, after Batum’s three, which the crowd is still ecstatic, Caleb Martin turns the ball over, the crowd is fully engaged and it always favors the home team, momentum.
