I understand the situation but, dude was the head coach for 81 games this season plus the playoffs. Did a great job from what I’ve seen, and Portland let him walk, why?
- Comment on Sources: Bulls finalizing hire of Tiago Splitter as head coach 4 days ago:
Portland makes the playoffs for the first time since like 2020 and Ddn’t resign their first year head coach? Brilliant move lol

Shout out to Nico Harrison for not resigning Jalen Brunson when he had the chance. Truly the worst of all time lol.

Mitch is little boying Wemby down low

Going for a loose ball, also a foul now lol
- Comment on 2026 NBA Finals: Knicks vs Spurs – Game 5 6 days ago:
Wemby might as well start karate chopping people, he’s never getting that next flagrant lol
- Comment on 2026 NBA Finals: Spurs vs Knicks – Game 4 1 week ago:
And Wemby missing both free throws with under 2-min left. Maybe Vic was projecting with those words lol

This comment aged poorly lol
- Comment on Knicks have to start protecting Brunson better 1 week ago:
Yes, of course something can be dirty even if its not called lol.
- Comment on Wembanyama, Spurs stun Knicks at MSG to revive Finals hopes 1 week ago:
It literally might be his fault. Anything happening in Manhattan is a logistical nightmare, and these playoffs have been some of the worst I’ve seen.
Now add the President on top of that and all the extra security, they literally fenced off MSG and used pepper spray to dispurse the crowed last night… The players had to be patted down before being allowed into the locker rooms. A lot if athletes have pregame rituals and whatnot they do before every game and that got thrown off, I’m not surprised the Knicks started cold.

I can’t believe Bodega KAT is arguably the best player in the NBA Finals. Never thought I’d see the day but, the man’s out there making plays.

Analytically speaking he’s a great coach, so this is a great move…Analytically lol

Everybody says you have to build through the draft nowadays but, the Knicks starting five all came from FA signings and trades. I think Duece and Mitch are the only draft pics that get minutes in the playoffs.
- Comment on Chuck keeps it real - too many talking heads crying about softest fouls on Wemby! Chuck and Shaq say Spurs gameplan is terrible vs OKC 3 weeks ago:
The only time I saw the holding called was on Wemby, I haven’t watched every minute of every game though. I don’t have a problem with it if its called evenly as possible.
OKC is a dirty team though, they go out and try to hurt players. Like the two examples I gave above, when Dort tripped Joker, Shai trying to rip Austin Reaves arm off. And these are only example that I’ve personly seen, I’m sure there’s more.
And I’m not a Wemby fan, more of an OKC hater BTW lol

There’s a difference between playing dirty and being physical. Chet stepping on Wembys foot after a freethrow is dirty, hartenstein grabbing Castles hair is dirty. And calling a foul on Wemby for for barley grabbing Hartensteins arm is bs, either the refs call it on both side or not at all.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: West Conf. Finals - May 20, 2026 4 weeks ago:
You see this bullshit move by Chet? I used to think it was just Lou Dirty Dort but, its just the whole team at this point.

No Fox for Spurs could hurt them in crunch time again.
- Comment on THE DETROIT PISTONS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION 4 weeks ago:
His performance in the playoffs was historical bad. Second biggest dropoff in ppg for an all-star ever (1st bring Wilt 50>35). The more troubling thing is the drop in stuff like rebounds, the effort just wasn’t there.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 15, 2026 5 weeks ago:
Pistons still alive, you really thought a team with James Harden would close out anyone lol.
Let’s see what the Wolves got though, they’ve had to struggle for both wins this series, Spurs are clearly better.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals - May 13, 2026 5 weeks ago:
The Pistons benched their All-Star center to end the game cause he’s been playing like complete shit all postseason. And the Cavs still barely won, I don’t think playing the Knicks right now would end well for the Cavs lol.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals - May 13, 2026 5 weeks ago:
This series feels like, who want to get destroyed by the Knicks at this point lol
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 10, 2026 5 weeks ago:
I want to give Wemby the benefit of the doubt, throwing an elbow into someone’s chest after a rebound is pretty common. Replay looks like he did it on purpose though, obviously in real speed its impossible to say, flagrant 2 either way.
You ever Wemby pull some dirty shit before? They might suspend him for the next game it looked that bad. If this is a first time thing that’s probably way less likely.

IDK if they can move that Embiid contract. He’s signed for the next 3 season on a max contract and he hasn’t been healthy his whole career and he won’t be getting any healthier as he ages.
26/27 - 58m 27/28 - 62m 28/29 - 67m
Paul George is also making like 55m the next two season leaving little to no cap space.

- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 8, 2026 5 weeks ago:
Definitely, they all seem like inevitable endings. The only one even remotely worth watching is Spurs vs. Wolves, and even that one seems like 6-game series max without a healthy Ant.

Welp, this series is over.

I’m assuming Knicks fans are just buying them from 76er fans. The two cities are only like a 2 hour drive away but, financial speaking couldn’t be further apart.

Why is OKC play so dirty for?
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 4, 2026 1 month ago:
Is it just me or are these teams constructed exactly the same. Led by small PG, talented but questionable centers, great wing defenders, gaurds who are spotty shooters but great rebounders for their size?
