What a punk. Intentionally going for a guy’s legs is a good way to get them hurt.

The NBA has created a monster, they gave this dude all the ticky tack fouls and over dozens of free throw attempts every game in the regular season and then he expects the same in playoffs :lol: and When it doesn’t happen he loses it, what a clown. He deserves everything that’s coming to him if he chokes again.

You mean “when he chokes again.” Fixed it for you ;)

Robinson is now out with a twisted ankle.

Mission accomplished, Embiid.

LAL vs DEN. Can I force myself to root for the Lakers, knowing that a longer series benefits the Wolves?

I doubt it. It’s the Lakers.

The NBA has a disease and it is called the Superstar whistle. Embiid has 15 FTAs compared to the Knicks 12. When one player gets more than the entire other team, in the playoffs no less, it is time to fire some people.

I missed this during the game. Embiid should be suspended and fined, maybe violently assaulted for this one.

Rudy would’ve been thrown out if he did that.

Who wouldn’t. He gave a gut punch to IH and the pull down and nut kick to MR. Embiid also had a tech in this game. This league is so ******** crooked.

yes you can root for the Lakers. If it helps the Wolves it's worth it. At least cheer for them to take it to 6 or 7 if you can't wish for them to win it.
Lakers up at the half 53to 49.

When you lose a game that you are supposed to win (game 2), it's hard to win a series. Same for NOP.

They cannot even win a game. 3-0 Nuggets is coming very soon.

For those who don’t know Dlo had 0/3/2 with a turnover and went 0/7 from the field and 0/6 from the field. AD has 2 FGAs in the fourth quarter.

Can't believe how much the media was hyping these guys when they were basically playing .500 level ball for 70 percent of the season.

No he wouldn't, let's be real here. He's had his struggles but we don't need to be making up crap in an attempt to slander him even further.



You sure about that?

He was brutally awful in the G-League last year.

If you consider it like minor league baseball where you knock like 50 points off a player's batting average to project what he will do in the big leagues, where does that leave Moore?
