For sure. He’s the youngest guy in the top 10.
AWOOOOOOOO
Baffling decision by the NBA to not suspend him for doing something so blatently dangerous and disrespectful. The man is throwing a toddler tantrum and the NBA is basically just looking the other way. If it was an accident that happened once, I would understand, but it was multiple objects.
Every win is somehow more impressive than the last.
Injuries obviously played a huge factor in the playoffs, but firing their coach mid-season while they had the 2nd best record in the East did not help this team compete for a top spot.
He’s definitely not a great coach, but I’m not even sure I believe he’s a good coach. He’s had some incredible rosters and consistently produced mediocre results, with the only exception being the year the C’s landed KG.
Ah, I see. I didn’t realize those instances actually blocked down votes for posts in other instances as well.
Would be great if it had a general prohibition symbol over it, instead of being removed.
Detroit, I thought you were gonna get that one. Would have been epic. I’m rooting for you on Saturday.
I was just using the language Kerr uses in the clip. I think you’re right, most of these were real fouls. Jokic definitely has some flaily tendencies, (he got his last two free throws throwing his arms up while setting a screen on Wiggins on a handoff, for example, which was a questionable call at best) but overall he is not on the level of Embiid. My point was just that Kerr only seems to think it’s a problem when his team is being disadvantaged. Curry gets a pretty friendly whistle in this league too. CP3 as well. Both benefit from marginal contact calls and the latter is notorious for baiting refs into calls.
If you watch the whole press conference (or at least what is posted on nba.com) he spends 20 seconds talking about how they played well, but not good enough, and then gets asked about the Jokic free throws, and spends a full minute talking about how the league is failing us all and then abruptly excuses himself. It just rings hollow to me. Not saying I disagree with the sentiment, just saying that he may not be the best messenger.
his sentiment that it makes the NBA as a product much worse is absolutely true.
I couldn’t agree more, that’s why I said he isn’t wrong here. Too many foul calls overall. Particularly in situations where the contact is so marginal. Would love to see the players do more playing.
Kerr isn’t wrong here, but he’s also a massive part of the problem and his inability to call out his own players for this exact foul baiting behavior makes his point much less profound. He loves to point his fingers at “the league” when he’s losing.
I was in Iceland in the spring of 2021 and saw the volcano that was actively erupting at that time and it was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen in my life.
He did have 40 pts too, so yeah, basically on easy mode. 😆😆
Would be better if it was permanently.
Somehow Perk got way more obnoxious after he retired. If that happens with Dray, we’re all in trouble.
I’m genuinely excited to see these two get some time on the floor together.
