get book the ball

 

[Phrazbit]

Keep the ball movement up, don’t slip into the habit of slowing down late.

 

[BirdGangThing]

kd and 1

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant gets the basket and 1 attempt.

 

[Phrazbit]

Tyus is very good, his agent is very bad… how was he sitting there in free agency?

 

[Hoop Head]

Nah, you can just continue to repeat things ad nauseum moving forward. Not surprising that you take a joke and want to turn it into something more, although Hoop Head is much more adept at it than you are.

Enough is enough. I just have to remember you don't have a sense of humor.

Now you're clearly taking shots. Humor doesn't translate to text well, especially sarcasm. We all know this but you seem to ignore that. Jumping to attack so quick makes it really hard to believe your initial intent was a joke also. Come on man, we've all been getting along pretty well but you've decided to sort of push people a few times unnecessarily.

If a joke doesn't land then move on rather than trying to blame the audience for not laughing. That's one of the most important rules of comedy.

 

[Chaplin]

Hell of a job getting the lead back. They looked cooked 5 minutes ago.

 

[BirdGangThing]

with how last few years have ended - every game is crucial - West is staaaaaaacked - need this game

 

[Proximo]

Good job getting back in the game.

 

[ajcardfan]

Both teams look like they are out of shape to be honest. I haven't watched any other games.yet, but are all teams sucking this much gas?

 

[Covert Rain]

The team show flashes but is not gelling yet.

 

[BirdGangThing]

last 2 fouls on book were bs

 

[Chaplin]

Come on, that was a weak freaking call on Book.

 

[Hoop Head]

Tyus is very good, his agent is very bad… how was he sitting there in free agency?

He didn't want to play for a loser like Washington anymore. I've read they offered him a 2-3 year deal around $25 million. Not quit MLE but close. I'd take a pay cut to pass to Book, Beal, and KD vs Kuzma and Poole. Tyus did come up on some good teams, both at Duke and Memphis.

 

[Mainstreet]

Sixth foul called on Booker. He is out of the game.

 

[Phrazbit]

Hell of a job getting the lead back. They looked cooked 5 minutes ago.

O’Neale coming in for Nurk really changed the action on both ends.

 

[Cheesebeef]

How in the F do we have Booker covering Zubac with five fouls and why is Booker dumb enough to foul him there?!

 

[95pro]

Bad 6th on book.

 

[BirdGangThing]

harden crossed kd over big time

 

[Mainstreet]

That was a ticky tack foul on Booker.

 

[Chaplin]

How in the F do we have Booker covering Zubac with five fouls and why is Booker dumb enough to foul him there?!

Wasn't much of a foul.

 

[BirdGangThing]

How in the F do we have Booker covering Zubac with five fouls and why is Booker dumb enough to foul him there?!

good question

 

[Phrazbit]

Durant has been brutally bad when he’s decided to isolate.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Booker is just so stupid.

And KD is just so unclutch.

 

[Hoop Head]

Sixth foul called on Booker. He is out of the game.

Could be a blessing given his play. Fewer "stars" makes the order much clearer and simplifies the offense.
