@MileHighGreco They call fouls the most when players create advantages and the defender then impedes that
Jokic creating minimal separation against a set defender is not an advantage and not going to draw as many fouls
As a starting point

Can anyone explain why Jokic is allowed to get bumped and hacked on every shot but other superstars you can’t even breathe near??
English
@EthicalHoopz Can't wait for you to try and justify Jokic as MVP now
Can you even lie through it at this point lol
English
Nikola Jokić has literally the worst whistle of all time this is fucking ridiculous
English
@zerohesis Quadruple dub and Grizzlies L 🔥
How can you deny this man the MVP?
English
@CAlmanza1007 Part of me was hoping they would sit him the 2nd half
What would they say lol
English
Does it really matter if SGA was honest about being aware of his 20-point streak? Didn't know such an innocuous thing would upset so many people
PropFinder@PropFinderApp
he didn’t know again guys…
English
@okcthunderedup Oh and Grey
Got that one too
So 6 color ways and doubles of all but the Grey and Pink. 10 overall.
English
@okcthunderedup I've got Black, Blue, Clay, White and Pink. Multiples.
The damn Brown and Butters were annoying to get obviously and I haven't yet dropped the resale. I'll definitely get one at least.
Reds feel like bad memories lol
Almost zero interest in the camo. Might if they are cheap.
English
I think I’m going to buy every SGA colorway and just put them on ice. I’ve never fully collected a players shoes to that extent but I think he’ll be one of them ones when it’s said and done. Just his first shoe.
English
@D_Town_303 @SpencerKarpin @DNVR_Nuggets Let's be honest
You are no NBA fan
You use basketball as a means to play your little games and try to start online fights
If you were an SGA fan you'd do the same damn thing
I'm certainly not going to be offended by someone making bad faith arguments lol
English
@BenPete0493865 @SpencerKarpin @DNVR_Nuggets My offense is to the game of basketball and how it's officiated.
Your offense was with what I said, asking to stop being "childish."
Like come on buddy, let's be forreal now.
English
I will say this, if a player is running up the floor and pushes off, we expect a foul from this point forward. That's all. That's the precedent.
English
@D_Town_303 @SpencerKarpin @DNVR_Nuggets "You took offense"
Followed by...
"You are cool with it, but i'm not"
What are you talking about guy
English
@BenPete0493865 @SpencerKarpin @DNVR_Nuggets And you replied back, meaning you took offense.
I'm not, I'm not cool with pushoffs not being called. Clearly some players have benefited from it more all at the same time they are allowed to be physical on the defensive end with no consequences.
Those are double standards.
English
@D_Town_303 @SpencerKarpin @DNVR_Nuggets Why would you be hurting my feelings
You are the one who obsesses over small details due to whatever disorder you have
I'm cool with ALL the players using the off arm
Doesn't make sense that I would be upset
In fact, you made the post because you were upset lol
English
@BenPete0493865 @SpencerKarpin @DNVR_Nuggets Not click bait when it's true. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

@Three_Cone The Bucks are correct in this one
Sit down with him and focus on possible moves to make in the off-season and lean into that avenue if he's hellbent on staying for now
The play-in is 1000% gone now
English
Giannis and the Bucks can't keep doing this
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The Milwaukee Bucks want Giannis Antetokounmpo to shut down for the remainder of the season after his latest injury and the team's playoff chances dwindled, but Antetokounmpo has refused the team's requests and wants to play again, sources tell ESPN.
English
@geola388 @rameshdataya I kinda view McCain as that long term but not now
He's certainly more similar to Joe at this stage
Joe/McCain basically the only 2 who don't have the defensive metrics despite everyone else being brought up by the team as well
English
@rameshdataya I view McCain more as a Kevin Martin type of player if given the chance and Joe as a pure shooter. Agreed on large wings. I've been clamoring for one for years. Shift JDub to the 2 & get a legit sized 3
English
I also think there's some redundancy with AJ Mitchell & Jared McCain. Both excellent scorers & ok (at best) defenders.
It's like the Lu/Cason problem but on the offensive side 😂
I'd love to see McCain get more burn but it's a good problem to have
English
@Thunderized81 @CAlmanza1007 I think it means Shai's just over his ab strain 100%
Other then sitting out end of last year and very occasional rest he doesn't sit many B2B's
I thought he'd be out too because I thought they were managing the injury still
Means he's clear
English
NGL, really surprised to not see SGA on this injury report.:. I think it’s great that he’s playing with how tight things are at the top not to mention the need for him to play that 65 games for the MVP..
Word is Jdub is coming soon tho! While we most certainly dont want him rushing back as him being healthy for our B2B chip is most important but getting a few games under his belt before the playoffs is kinda big deal!
I don’t think it’s a stretch we see Dub return after this road trip..
English
Thunder injury report for tonight's game against the Nets:
Chet Holmgren (hip contusion) is questionable
Jalen Williams (hamstring strain) is out
Isaiah Hartenstein (soleus injury management) is out
Lu Dort (rest) is out
Nikola Topic (G League assignment) is out
Branden Carlson (back strain) is out
Brooks Barnhizer (G League two-way) is out
Thomas Sorber (torn ACL) is out

I often see descriptions of these pull ups as "impossible" or "unnatural." Then SGA goes ahead & hits a number of these shots. Is there a minimum number or a certain percentage for it to be considered a legit shot? Can we really govern when a player is allowed to shoot the ball?
Bill Simmons@BillSimmons
You can hear Jaylen yell “that’s not basketball.” He’s right. A bunch of stars have adopted this specific “drive hard left, draw contact on a semi-impossible shot, then flail” move and it keeps working. Refs have to stop calling it. It sucks to watch.
English
@BillyBlueee @FlameThrowerBl @bballbreakdown I'm engaging to tell you that you don't know what you're talking about
You are trying to tell people how it is, but you aren't even saying anything lol
Someone has to tell you
English
@D_Town_303 @SpencerKarpin @DNVR_Nuggets SGA gets called for these but not often just like every other player
The reality is that they don't call almost all of them no matter who's doing it
The whole league does it all the time
It's irrelevant
Stop with the clickbait arguments
English
@BenPete0493865 @SpencerKarpin @DNVR_Nuggets Well guy, the point is this is horrible for the NBA, and only certain players benefit from it more than others
Now what
English
@BillyBlueee @FlameThrowerBl @bballbreakdown I don't think you have any jurisdiction to decide what a foul is and isn't
In fact, it doesn't even sound like you understand what you are watching
So why would anyone care what you think
Maybe you shouldn't worry about it from the uninformed position you are in
English
@BenPete0493865 @FlameThrowerBl @bballbreakdown Fantastic. They shouldn’t be rewarded with free throws though.
English
@JimmyBroll3 @Fullcourtpass Helps to keep the Wolves culture from ever becoming something to worry about
English
@JimmyBroll3 @Fullcourtpass It's the opinion most people have at this point
It's an isolated POV you are speaking from obviously
I get sticking up for your guy though
English
Jaden McDaniels threw the ball at Devin Booker after a timeout was called
Booker returned fire at the Timberwolves bench 🍿
