Popular Post kg01 Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Enough with dropping 30/10 then finding every camera you can to grimace and limp. Then bawling to the media how much pain he's playing with. Enough. You're playing exceptionally well. No need to try to paint this Willis Reed narrative on top of it. "Hey errybody, did didya see how much paaain in playin' with? No? Ok, I'll be sure to roll around the floor after baiting my next foul. Get yer cameras ready, ladies. I might throw you a wink." 1 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kg01 Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 And furthermore ... Know what it looks like when you have an actual knee injury? It looks like what's happening to Hunter. He's out. Can't play. I get it. Dude probably tweaked his knee when he fell, but can we stop with all the harkening back to when Mchale played on a broken foot and Kobe played with a broken finger or whatever? Not. the. same. As an aside, it wasn't courageous for Mchale to do that. It was stupid AF. Seen that dude walk lately? Looks like an 80's-style erector set with pieces missing. Not good and not worth it. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embiid is someone who likes the performance and artifice on and off the court. None of this is surprising. And given how many real injuries he has had it gives him credibility.  I don't really care about the injury story line he is pushing since it obviously isn't slowing him down at all. He has been fantastic this series. Tip my cap for that and root for my Hawks to beat him anyway like in Game 1. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. Just something stuck in my craw. *yowch* I think I just pulled my carpal tunnel typing this message. It hurts sooo bad. But, oddly, I'm still able to perfectly type anyway so it doesn't fkng matter does it?

Moderators macdaddy Posted June 11, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 All i can say is shame on the Hawks for not going at him in the paint. make him work on D. He can't challenge really any of our guys at the rim and he'll get exhausted trying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I agree and disagree. I saw him block Trae's floater, which is the first time I think I've seen that happen. He's plenty good enough defensively to challenge our guys in the paint. However, to your other point, by halftime he'll be gassed even more than usual if we took that approach. So, long story long, I ..... agree with you? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ok, I'm done now) For just the cost of a cup of coffee a day, you can help this poor poster overcome his crippling (but asymptomatic) case of carpal tunnel typing. Just imagine him reaching for that next gif and "aaahhhhhh" the pain becomes overwhelming but he grits through, takes the mouse in his hand and makes sure not one ****ing Squawker misses seeing Lindsey Lohan (accurate character name) overcoming that bully Regina George just like kg overcomes that bully carpal tunnel typing. Remember, only you can make a difference in the life of your fellow Squawker. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really talking about our bigs and especially Heurter and Bogi should be going into his chest rather than back pedaling for fadeaways. It's criminal to have one lumbering big man destroying on offense and not try to get him in foul trouble as early as possible. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spud2nique Posted June 11, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Anyone also notice Embiidâs gotten thicker down low too?  (my gf when I made that remark last game).. He bullies with his ⊠pardon my (kinda French) big o butt and hips (for ya..bap bap bap missy e).  I think we should throw an odd double team of Okongwu and Bruno on him. Iâm kind of not even joking. Just rough him up at the same time for a few minutes like kg @kg01said they do in prison when you donât pay up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
