They never actually watch the games dont bother

They just look for excuses to channel their hate. 

It really is a Giannis type draw rather than Harden or Shae. It has been especially pronounced lately because he has been playing PG and just bullying the smaller guard in front of him. Garland was out there trying but the mismatch was pretty apparent. Not a ton a guard can do with a 6-9 guy barreling downhill.

My brother I watch ant get hit like 2-3x and not get calls Adam silver isn’t slick

I don’t know man, I get it. Like I don’t really care how a player gets there fouls or if some are more legitimate than others, I still find it annoying. Watching Deni as a Blazer fan it is very clear that he is very often going to the basket just for contact/ to get the foul, and not actually putting a good shot up.

I don’t really find that to be interesting basketball and it leaves a bad taste in mouth as opposed to someone truly going up to score and getting hacked.

I think he is a good player and I enjoy watching a lot of his game. But the foul baiting annoys me when anyone does it and its clearly a very present part of Deni’s game.

I’d hope so

Don’t hold your breath. Voters snubbing Blazer players is a common sight.

I’d like to think so, but the West is stacked and the Blazer’s record isn’t helping right now. If y’all get healthy, go on a run, and get a top 8 seed I think that would pretty much guarantee it.

Injuries and Garland being straight trash

When exactly were we a 68 win projected team

Regression to the mean

It’s extremely hard to win 60+ games 2 years in a row, let alone 65+

Also, it’s early December. As long as they are healthy come playoff time, they are still a major threat

They got worse and everyone around them got better. The Ty Jerome loss hurts a lot v

Other teams get better.

It has been rough watching our offense without a point guard

Less expectations and therefore pressure when playoffs come.

Those two guys are only getting minutes because thybule, scoot, and jrue are out. Love will have 3 horrendously inefficient games for every 1 game like tonight. It’s definitely fun to watch when he’s hitting tho

Funniest moment was him shooting a 3 over Camara’s arms with the highest trebuchet trajectory I’ve ever seen.

Garland is soft and is a bum. Him backing down is no surprise to anyone

i would get it if he was flopping but dude just drives to the rim more than literally anyone else in the league and is such an elite finisher that teams are forced to foul. Yes he does seek contact, but he’s still trying to make the shot and not just running into guys and throwing shit up

You think we deliberately failed to guard the perimeter as a tactic?… Sure lets go with that lol

We have actually been leaving the corners pretty open when we run a zone, but thankfully the other team couldn’t actually hit their shots tonight.

He is so out of shape and not ready for this level of play, but damn if he doesn’t have moments where I sew the vision. He usually moves kind of slow and lumbers, but I think he was guarding Mobley in the corner and got the quickest little stutter step to stay in front on a drive. Very good looking move

I think he got Turf Toe(Toe equivalent of ACL, tear the ligaments of your big toe). It can be tricky to recover from(think it ended Deion Sanders prime)

Last year he was clowning Camara, and today Camara kinda owned him

They needed a GOAT sacrifice to win a title

pistons fans don’t want to jinx bickerstaff with coty award. But tbh, who even comes close to him this year? Is it Adelman?

With how well the Suns are doing this Jordan Ott/Kenny Atkinson situation is starting to feel a lot like Jordi Fernandez/Mike Brown. Team makes a giant leap, head coach gets the credit, but an assistant coach may have been the reason for the jump

I know I’m in the minority here but I actually thought they missed more calls on him than gave out phantom calls in our game.

He literally just attacks the basket all game long. He draws a lot of contact and is good at it but you can only do that by putting constant pressure on the rim.

leads the league in drives

Bro still salty from a won game.

Edit: Bro even edited his comment like a punk

If any of the fouls called weren’t actually fouls, how come the Cavs didn’t challenge any of them?

He does cry a whole lot but every call on him was correct, point to a single one that wasnt.

You’re such a baby lmfao

What you haters don’t get is this, when the guy drives, he goes hard and fast. At that speed you either foul him or let him through, clean stops are rare. That’s why you don’t see players whining to refs or coaches burning challenges on those calls. It’s just part of the game. If the players and coaches aren’t stressing about fouls on Avdija, then you shouldn’t either. Chill out, it’s just basketball.

Nah we just couldn’t guard him. He does bitch and whine a lot though, just like all foreign white players

lol
