True, but accolades and awards should increase expectations and it’s unfair to do it to some and not others.

But it's Sabonis and the fukking Kings.

We saw the height of their potential, and it was losing in seven games to the Warriors after being up 2-0.

After I saw him struggle to back down Andrew Wiggins during that series, and get his lunch money taken by Kevon Looney and Draymond, all expectations vanished lol.

Still doesn’t change nothing about what I said.

Individual accolades and awards increase expectations for said player to perform when it matters most and Sabonis isn’t the exception to that.

We do the exact same shyt with other players and Sabonis isn’t the exception to that.

The East has 2 or 3 of the worst teams in the league but from 1-8 the East is better.

You can’t tell me a team like Magic who’s gonna finish in the 5-7 seeding isn’t better than a team like suns or pels.

This narrative that the west is better needs to stop.

I like how the league is moving away from bully ball and it’s more emphasis on skill now
The diversification of playstyles is incredible

Marquee matchups alone we got these in the past 3 days

LaMelo vs Sengun
Jokic vs SGA
Brunson vs Tatum
Luka vs Wemby
Ant vs AD

not even overlooking the skill of the secondary and tertiary pieces underlining those matchups

Baron Davis killing me :dead: he joking on Poole seemingly never knowing what the score is in a game, just shooting



"He like the nikka that go to the club and dance to every song by himself then bounce" :laff:


Draymond trying his hardest not to laugh with him :mjlol:

" Can I get my shot off? :jbhmm:

If not, can I throw a bad pass to someone and run over and get it back? :steviej: "
