NBA Award Predictions 2022-23

In other news, prayers for Coach Bud and his family. He lost his brother in Game 4 against the Heat. I think this might partly explain Gianiss’ heated reaction when they lost the series. Put things into perspective and all.

Our players played like shit all season long, I’m not surprised. I’m definitely bitter about losing to the Lakers though, since they had no business winning. I would‘ve been fine if it was Denver or the others but not them.

No business winning? :rofl

The better team won. We made the right adjustments and in the end outplayed the Warriors, simple as that.

Bullshit. We all know the Lakers were just one bad injury away from losing the entire series. They’re the least dependable team you can count on winning the entire damn thing. That’s not the kind of team I’d root for.

Warriors' Draymond Green doesn't 'understand the laughing' about Anthony Davis' head injury | Fox News

He says this after making a career out of brutalizing people on the court on a regular basis. Stomping on people's chests, shoving the ball in people's faces.

Anyways, don't even follow the NBA really but enjoy seeing shitheads like him lose. Sad that the Lakers get to benefit from it though.

If the majority reaction didn't involve laughing at Anthony Davis, maybe Draymond Green laughs at Anthony Davis. These are quite fickle, quickbait times.

I did actually watch some NBA due to fantasy and quite enjoyed the Knicks this year, who lost today. And as much as I'd like scav to feel loss and embarrassment, the Miami Heat played well and good luck to them next round.

Maybe he decapitates him himself and then blames it on the media? :catshrug

Bullshit? Kerr, as great as he is, got outcoached. Your fabled offense couldn't stand up to Ham's defensive schemes and Kerr's counter adjustments couldn't cut it to generate the necessary offense once counterplays were made. On your defensive end, the Lakers play too physical for the Warriors to match it. We saw it with Sacramento too, the Warriors are vulnerable in the paint- one of the big differences here between series is that AD is a whole different beast than Sabonis. Hell, Warriors limped to this round off the back of a 50pt Curry masterclass. You paid 100M for a pool(e) that was nice at first, but now is as leaky as the Warriors training facility- punch a ticket to Cancun, not a teammate, and rebuild that roster because without more depth in the size department the same thing will happen when you come across any team with this type of DNA.

AD is one of the players who has had an unfortunate and unlucky run of injuries- I think laughing about any injury is in poor taste, and those in the media who publicly laughed and poked jokes about it (Shaq, Barkley, Screaming A, and JWill) need to smarten up.

Yeah fair enough, but my point is maybe Draymond should shut the fuck up with the way he carries himself on the court. It's like Oscar the Grouch telling children to clean up their rooms.

Not gonna disagree with your points. The only thing I disagree on is whether this Lakers team is even worth rooting for. Because when you look at it from a broad POV, it’s a good~decentish team that’s in reality built on a house of cards and could crumble anytime. And honestly, the W’s have no one but themselves to blame for not taking advantage of some obvious holes.

And I don’t mean that by any insidious intents.

That'd be kinda funny lol like in a movie or tv skit or somethin. Or like Draymond goes over and tombstones him so he really needs a wheelchair.

Because, like many unlikeable assholes, he's a hypocrite. It's just extra funny because he punched Poole at the start of the season, lol.

He also said this some days ago

https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2023/05/02/draymond-green-handshake-snub-2018-viral-video-tristan-thompson-domantas-sabonis

BUT, regardless of what he does "in the heat of the moment", it's a stance he's had for a long while now, both him and his daughter are medicated to avoid having seizures.

That said @Newkerzy you don't need to explain why you find the Lakers dislikeable in 2023. It's like explaining gravity.

Well yeah sure, he has some degree of self-preservation. I didn't imply that he was insane, just that he's a trash person.

It's just aggravating to have to witness virtue-signaling from someone who gives no fucks about the physical condition of his opponents or even his teammates (Poole)

Pretty much this. Love him as a player, hate him as a person. Only Kyrie is worse.
