How does a guy like Harrell not find a home. He is so unbelievably active. Reminds me of Farried. Love those kind of players.

Because a lot of their frenetic energy masks their big deficiencies. It's like watching thr frenetic pace of March madness basketball, but you step back and not get caught up in the hype and it's just shit basketball.
They hustle, there's a place for it, but they're covering up lack of skills and IQ with energy. While that sounds good, often times that energy puts them out of position, wh8ch hurts their teammates.

The J.J. Hickson special.
 
It looks like KD is legitimately happy for Big Ben! Love it.
 
Wait--no Embiid, no Harden, no Maxey, and they're still beating the Nets with KD, Kyrie, and Simmons all playing and playing well?

This game makes no sense sometimes.
 
What a Dud by the Nets. LOL.

I thought Shake Milton and De'anthony Melton were the same person, but I guess not because they both started for the 76ers.
 
There are some people that like to praise other teams players as if they are perfect.

Well, with 1.7 seconds left down by three Ja Morant misses the first of three free throws after getting fouled. Then to make it worse on the third free-throw that he intentionally misses he crosses the free-throw line before the ball hits the rim which is a violation. Grizzlies lose to the kings.
Imagine if one of our players did that.

Nuggets lost to the Pistons at home. Could you imagine this place if the Blazers did that?

They were fully healthy as well. Although this was Jokic and Murray’s first game back from covid-19.

I agree with the part that some here never notice other teams or players flaws.
The Griz and Morant do deserve some credit for fighting way back at the end of that game. The Kings got lucky they didn’t let that get away.

Bite your tongue, the grass is ALWAYS greener.
 
Damn, Patrick Beverley with a pretty big cheap shot on Ayton. What a piece of garbage.

TBF, when Andre Miller did something similar to Blake Griffin, we hailed him as a hero.

selective editing of that video

what it didn't show is that Ayton was being a dick and deliberately went out of his way to stand over the Laker player on the floor. Ayton knew what he was doing

Fair enough. I didn't watch the game so I'm only going off the twitter clips I could find.

Doesn't change my opinion on Beverly though. He's still a punk.

Did DeAndre do a hard foul? And did Andre Miller have a reputation as someone who plays a little dirty?

I haven't seen the whole play, but at least in the above video, Ayton didn't do anything.

Yeah there is a better video of Ayton taunting him while standing over him. On this issue Beverly might have had just cause but he should have been more measured in his response maybe?

Look at this one. Ayton had no business walking over him like that.

I'm not sure he's "walking over him" until after he is shoved. It's not like he made a concentrated effort to step over him. FFS, when did the league become a bunch of babies?

Also, how was that a flag 1 on booker?

 
I'd also say, while not necessarily innocent of being the aggressor, Andre actually was shoved at least twice in succession, whereas DeAndre was standing near Reeves.

I'd like to point out that I think Booker is a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to this, since he's had his own shoving people late in the games skeletons.

For comparisons sake, here is the Andre Miller video
