This is a bad take. Playing Steph the same way you would Zeke would not be taking advantages of what makes Steph special.

Not many players can plan on or off the ball at a HOF level

Steph doesn't have the ability to average over 8 assists in a season. His assist to TO ratio isn't good, which is why their offense is set up for him to handle the ball as little as possible and do what he does best, score.

Lol they're all fucking the same hos theyre is no code

They feel like he's wrong to shit on this woman that a 22 year old Jaylen made the mother of his kids. I can see both sides. Typically I WOULD view it as cornball behavior, but she's GARBAGE and Gil was talking bout one of his direct experiences with her. Wasn't like he was gossiping bout some shit second hand.

I'm curious if he will address it on Gil's Arena cuz the clip is from his No Chill with Gil podcast that is waaaaaay more frank and candid. Either way he gotta speak on it.

This is what Phoenix is getting out of their third guy who is on a max contract. 20 points with great shooting splits AND over 5 assists. Not 15 points 8 rebounds and a good game (by his standards) every five. Their Big 3 isn't underperforming, the question is their bench and supporting cast good enough.

Man she subject to any talks that get aired out. Honestly no one can do nothing about it. The code was broken when she seek out that young fellow after bouncing around previous young fellows(who’s now retired and talking shit or alluding to). Green had to and must understand the arena he stepped into…

Anunoby's return transforms Knicks
Shortly after the Knicks acquired OG Anunoby, they won 12 of their next 14 games before he suffered an elbow injury. The Knicks won their next three without their new forward before Jan-sanity was over and we saw the team crater due to other injuries. That elbow caused Anunoby to miss 18 straight games, during which New York went 8-10. Julius Randle also missed time with a dislocated shoulder while Jalen Brunson sat out a few games too.

Anunoby returned to the lineup last night and provided a brilliant reminder why the Knicks took off upon acquiring him. New York (38-27, fourth in East) bludgeoned a battered 76ers team (36-29, seventh in East) with a 106-79 victory. It came one game after losing to Philadelphia 79-73. Is Anunoby really worth a 33-point scoring swing? No, that’s a little too simplified. But ... almost? We can’t ignore how good the Knicks have been with him playing.

The Knicks were plus-28 with Anunoby on the floor and are plus-280 in his 15 team games this season. They outscore opponents by a ridiculous 25.8 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor but have a net rating of minus-3.6 points when he sits. That’s a gulf big enough to fit Madison Square Garden into. The Knicks were already good once Brunson came to town. With Anunoby in the lineup, they’re dominant.

It’s enough to reasonably wonder if this team can get healthy enough to make the conference finals. Or can the Knicks find a way to upset the vaunted Celtics (51-14, first in East), should they get into a playoff matchup with them? It may sound ridiculous, but, when you break down just how good this team looks with Anunoby, the rest of the East should be worried about them.

No wonder Shaq becomes a bigger hater by the year... He sees his legacy dwindling right before our eyes.

Becomes a bigger hater by the year?

I think that, as a player, Shaq was the worst hater I have ever seen in the NBA. Look at the way he treated younger centers coming up-- Yao Ming, Dwight Howard. He was like an aging rapper hating on the new talent.

I find him to be much more likeable as a broadcaster-- The people he is surrounded with helps a lot in that regard.

Even with the fire emojis, I knew this was a blooper.

I think on any other team, this doesn't get clipped. Jordan Poole is just the guy it is cool to mock this year-- he is somehow the new Javale McGee but gets it even worse. If he does something good, silence. He fucks up, the vultures are out.

Just saying, it is at the point where social media is treating him like FOX News treats a Democrat, we're just getting a distortion now.

For the first time ever in 21 years, the mainstream media is acknowledging a LeBron James team may be the victim of bad coaching. Normally media and fans only want to project the "Bron is too heavy handed/coach killer" narrative to portray him as the uppity nigga and a burden on authority, so this is surprising somewhat. I think DLo being the one unloading the clip during this season he's his having (11 3 pointer's made away from a franchise record for a season) is why the media finally did it. If Bron had come out and shitted on Ham publicly this would've been posted already and Ham would be portrayed as a sympathetic figure and victim no matter how truthful. :yes:

Interesting that DLo credits Draymond as the voice of the locker room during his stint in Golden State as the one who challenges coaches and players and not you know who @Amajorfucup. It's almost like Dray is the locker room leader. Also not shocking he claims Bron is the only one doing it for the Lakers.

Doesn't sound like Gil is gonna address the Jalen Green controversy on today's show. He more than likely is gonna address it on No Chill with Gil tomorrow morning where he can really speak his mind and not have to involve the other guys on Gil's Arena in it.

Good stuff bro. Very interesting info there. I was unaware of those dynamics. Not surprised in the least about the GSW leadership roles tho.

That contrast is interesting... There's no pitting Steph against Draymond-- They're the yin & the yang, nobody brings everything to the table. The dynamic works and that's why they're still together in the same place, not jumping from team to team leaving nothing behind but desolation.

DLo making some pretty strong claims against the Lakers head coach. You would think BGOL "Laker fans" would be all over this. It's the strangest thing. :hmm:

No idea what any of this means or what it has to do with Draymond being the team voice and leader.
