Warriors/Clippers were tied. Clippers missed a shot, Green rebounds with 5 seconds left. Durant is waving his arms and calling for Green to pass him the ball, but Green decides to run the court himself, falls, turns the ball over. Game goes to OT.
Actual fight, the NBA "somebody better hold me back or else" thing, or just squawking?
Sounds like maybe the middle one?
:Great news. Don't want anything standing in the way of Butler helping yet another team play as less than the sum of its parts on its way to an earlier than expected playoff exit.Butler says Fultz has his respect. All good here folks, nothing to worry about

I guarantee every locker room has drama especially those that aren't freerolling to championships.
i think from a league perspective, it will be enjoyable to watch. If everything turns out to work great it will be enjoyable to watch. If it goes south, it will probably be more entertaining, because i am positive Embiid, and Simmons too, won't shy away from confronting Jimmy if it gets heated. No matter who came in, the team is Embiid's and Simmons's (likely Embiid if we need one, but both are so key. that injury to Embiid last year where Simmons stepped up in that winning streak was a nice spot for Ben).
That's probably overstated in today's game. Another example - Ben Simmons' LSU team missed the tournament and he looked uninterested a majority of the time (if anything, that's an understatement). He also seemed suspect on defense. Despite the obvious issues with his outside shot, Simmons has been a stud on both sides of the court in the NBA without leading his college team to many victories.
MMQB pick for Philly is clearly Jason Tatum, but at the time 99% of NBA pundits were saying Fultz was the pick at #1 regardless of which team won the lottery. The overall universal agreement on that can't be understated.
I was mostly kidding, I have a long record of being pro-Butler.
Ben Simmons was also a 6'10" player with decent guard skills and did other things that translate well to NBA success like 11.8 rpg.
I don’t watch NCAA for the most part, but I also thought it was weird he was being hailed as a knock down shooter after only hitting 65% from the free throw line (historically a better indicator of shooting ability than his 41% three point percentage). Obviously the shot fell apart far beyond what that percentage would portend, but I thought it was odd at the time that everyone assumed he’d be a reliable outside threat right away.
Great post. Hate how people love to make hindsight comments saying how Fultz had red flags and was never worth the #1 pick, etc. Most NBA scouts, executives, etc. all were very high on him. Should we have traded up? Probably not. But he looked like a great fit for our offense and he had drastically improved every year through high school and was flying up mock drafts everywhere until he landed at #1 on pretty much every one you could find.
Why don't you guys just send him to the G league and let him work it out? It's not like you need him right now.
Golden State should just play with 4 players the rest of the way. They would still win the title in 5.
May as well at this point, might get his confidence up. They probably won't do that though.
Why do you blame Thibs?
David West said last year they had tons of drama no one else knew about. Hurt them significantly in the playoffs ?
It was a good run.bananafish said:
everyone says Durant is the sensitive one but Draymond goes nuclear option at the slightest hint of what could maybe be perceived as a possible slight.. which is probably not even a slight, he's just so sensitive that he thinks everyone is attacking him all the time.
was crazy when Lakers snuck by Kings and Hawks and the sports media was hyping how Lakers are ready now and putting them as 3rd or 4th seed in the West. Crazy talk. Not saying it isn't possible, but to go from the reporting a week earlier to top 3 or 4 was just nutty. 24-hour sports news is almost as bad as 24-hour news channels
They don't care about being right. They just care that you are talking about it. This team was always going to be bad right now. There will probably be a mini spike sometime in the next few weeks. Followed by something worse shortly before the trade deadline. Maybe then they will start to find their footing, but prior? Nope.
The entire state being on fire really puts two tall people yelling at each other in perspective.
A wing that can defend and shoot the three?! Don’t remember the last time we had one that could do either.
Covington is another good but not great player. As long as you don't have expect him to be an all star, he won't let you down.
really kind of inexcuseable to give up a 21-0 run in the 4th. Sixers were drinking the Kool Aid it seems
