@kg01 real question.  Have you talked to your BIL about Duncan Robinson turning into a polished turd after signing that $90 million contract? 

He did it for the Kulture!

I'll do it tomorrow with copious amounts of sass.

We gotta face the facts on Clint. He's not good against offensive minded centers. His value is all rim/paint protection, defensive movement for a true center, running the court, setting screens and slipping for dunks and layups. Has he had one good game against an offensive center yet? 

Pretty sure he's fared well against Jokic in his career.

Since Joker got in shape, Joker been killing him.

He didn't have on a saddle, therefore the Hawk being ridden was a bare back.  Pacers did this.  No call.  Yet, when the Hawks didn't get called, all the Pacer went off.  Once, a Hawk lightly brushed a Pacer on the uniform and they got 2 points with their two free throws.

Home cooking for the most part.

Tim got a start and looked like he belonged.  Wright was all right again...

We were a razors edge away from having an absolutely brutal defeat.

Yeah.  He's been killin everybody.  Just ask that Morris twin.

Seriously though, what's the answer for us then?  Just hope it doesn't bite us since there aren't many offensive C's in our way?

Yeah no doubt but that's the way it goes.  Gallo didn't foul Sabonis about a minute before but we lost that possession anyway.   

Either way duarte has to make 2 free throws to take the lead and there's still 6 seconds on the clock.   It's not game over by any means.

Your boy wanted to yell FOUL from the rooftops.. alas rookies aren’t allowed on the rooftop floor. 

Ps Duarte is a baller and I’m glad the Warriors didn’t get a chance to draft him, he fits in with how they play.

Exactly how I feel. Collins was shoved HARD at least twice on what would have been alley oop dunks and got no calls. Turner literally RODE ON CAPELA'S BACK LIKE A COWBOY and the refs didn't call a foul. Trae was fouled at least three times by my count on made shots that should have been And 1 and got nothing. Oh, did they forget Sabonis stepping out of bounds and somehow Gallo called for the foul even though he did nothing?

So Pacers and Pacers fans can kiss my white ass.

Hey, I've taken some draft L's but I gotta put Duarte in the 'win' column.

Does this make up for a draft miss like oh, I dunno ... someone wanting us to take Bamba?

Next time tell us how you really feel, saffron.  

Haha, you didn't tell 'em to kiss your whole, pale a** didja?

Turner literally landing on Capela's back, in full view of the ref, then not only getting no call but being allowed to turn the ball over on top of it?  That was interesting.

It’s the grandmama jersey, he’s channeling his inner bada$$! 

[macdaddy]

Honestly I felt like they were trying to swing the game to Indy until that Kev non-call and then i realized they were just doing a poor job as usual i guess.

100%.  I've been thinking this for quite some time.  Granted I never expected him to stop Embiid or Giannis in the playoffs, but it's like he also struggles on offense when he's getting torched on D, starts missing layups and fumbling the ball, bad body language etc.  He gets rattled.

Capela is GREAT when he's playing against a center that he's better than, and plays with a ton of confidence and just dominates.  But he really struggles against the top guys, it's like he just looks defeated.

Eggsactly.

Kinda reminds me of the Xavier McDaniel interview I heard yesterday which featured the following:

-  Him at one point saying the f-word, catching himself then cleaning it up by saying Bird told him he was "gonna make this d*mn shot in his f-ing face".

- His grandson(?) making noise only to have X-man yell, on live radio, "stop makin' all that noise ol' big head boy"

- Him saying McHale probably was "drinkin' a bunch of Bud lites first" when asked to confirm the Bird story McHale told about him.

- Him saying, about refs, "They know don't nobody like dey a**es anyway."

Was @Sothron channeling x-man or was x-man channeling soth?
