I really like Giannis, he has the tools to be one of the greatest players of all time, but after hearing about the drafting for the all star break and his current interview, I think that he has a grudge against Jimmy. When is the next game against the bucks again?
marv albert actually called this on the broadcast. his senile old ass caught it but marc davis missed it.
This is where you need an enforcer like Pat Bev. Not sure who that would be on the current Rockets team. Tucker? Thabo? Hell, maybe Hartenstein could come in for a minute and give a hard foul.
that kind of stuff has been non existent for years. there's no such thing as an enforcer anymore. certainly not a factor in this modern era. anything that comes close to that would be immediate ejection and suspension
Holy **** that was dirty as hell, I wasn’t watching the entire game and missed this ... Giannis is a straight up punk man never thought he’d be this kind of ******* actually.
He knew what he was saying or he is a complete moron. I honestly don't mind players going at each other...... it just made him look stupid because it didn't work at all.
Maybe the league isn’t as candy assed as it seems. Harden just moved on from it. It’s in the paint and elbows happen. Good to see it in way. I wish it was Harden given the elbow, obviously. Draw backs to small ball.
This post was about the elbow to the throat. He absolutely didn't do it to hurt Harden. About the post game interview he explained the coach instructions. This isnt even the most blunt thing he has done. In another post game interview he grabbed the score sheet and said how his team made Derozan invisible. So if you want to say he isnt the most diplomatic or the brightest I definitely agree. Just from the fact that he still supported Kidd I have long had this opinion. However he didn't do it to shame Harden.
BS Man, he is almost more focused on elbowing Harden than securing the damn ball and of course CP3 takes advantage of it. One thing is for sure, Harden sure can take a punch/elbow, etc. It's like it doesn't even faze him.
Also, can you imagine if Harden was the one throwing elbows like this to Giannis? People would have a field day. Glad James didn't retaliate or even make a big deal out of this. A lot of players would have at least said or done something about it.
I'll be honest, it just looked like he was trying hard to grab the rebound. I'd need to see it in better quality and from more angles. [Edit: Actually, after seeing several of his comments -- including last night. It makes it look really suspicious. I actually liked this kid at a point.]
