A lot of woman don't look good without makeup
You guys are picky af if that stops you from smashing though

 

[Nipsey3000]

whoever gets de'aaron fox wins in this draft...

i could see josh jackson going #1 to the celtics and fultz going to the lakers at #2.

if i were the celtics and i knew they were lonzo ball or bust, i would offer to switch picks for randle or clarkson and get the player i wanted anyway.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

I love Rachel. Beadle looks wack af. Damn she getting uglier by the day.

Especially if you're used to ONLY seeing them with make up, like a TV personality.

Rachel still fine in my book.

Beadle never had it.

 

[degenerate423]

Beadle is a nose surgery away from being a blonde Bruce Jenner.

It's not so much that I'm rippin beadle... I just can't believe that she would be unrecognizable in a picture like that (for better or for worse)

 

[Hoodrich Laflare]

Won't tolerate any Rachel slander, I still get salty when I glance at her left hand from time to time.

I will allow the Beadle slander
Rachel Nichols though, no.

I wonder what the ratings are like right now?

 

[leavemeglazzies]

Warriors MVP in each series so far:

Vs Blazers: Either Curry or Draymond

Vs Jazz: Probably Durant

Vs Spurs: Definitely Zaza

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Spurs were going to get a beating with or without Kawhi. Acting like Spurs even really had a shot cause they kept up one game when the warriors hadn't played for like a week.

 

[tribals]

2 more wins to get to the Finals

Lakers really lucked out today with that 2nd pick today too

With kawhi I think the Spurs could have pushed it to 6, with a shot or 2 at close games

Without kawhi (and if kawhi does come back whatever state he might be in), Spurs will be lucky to get 1

Just something else to skip about this season until the finals

 

[glasses]

I'm not a Spurs fan but I know not to count Pop out. It's 2 games, at home now, I think we'll see a completely different Spurs team game 3. If kawhi is in, call it crazy, but they have a shot to win the series. Felt that way all year watching this team.

 

[Nipsey3000]

i can see it happening already...

lebron goes up for a jumper,

zaza closes out same way he did with kawhi,

foul called,

substitution horn blows,

dahntay jones check in...

I'd LMA was consistently stellar, Manu and Parker was 7 years younger, and their bench more experienced, I'd back you up. But, Warriors are too damn talented and seasoned to lose to them in a series.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

You're running with the counter narrative, so why not?

The Spurs beat the Rockets who play a similar brand of basketball as the Warriors in game 6 at Houston without Kawhi as well, and blew them out by 39.

Kawhi being out is bummer for SAS, but what does that have to do with the rest of the team and their effort? Ball movement? Protecting the ball? That's all I'm saying.

Patrick McCaw had 19 points off the bench. This is a rookie who didn't get a lot of minutes this post-season, unless it was a blowout. Wheres the explanation for that? Or does Kawhi not being there have something to do with that too? So much so the SAS bench forgot how to defend as well.

You guys need to chill with the excuses. Pop is a proven master of adjustments. He's benched Duncan in the past for the sake of his long term health and found ways to win basketball games. This narrative needs to stop. Kawhi will be back for game 3 probably. Let's see what happens.

 

[tekthemaestro]

Aldridge is a ***** for that attempt to hurt kd. And people really making excuses saying Zaza did it. Zaza is a 7ft clutz doing a sprint closeout. Aldridge jumped 3 inches forward cuz he gave up on the shot... Then took a second hop under kd. Bruh had zero momentum. 2nd hop was forced as hell.

God I wish kd wasn't a beta and just backhanded Aldridge right on the spot. Intentionally trying to injure a player? There should be a hefty fine

 

[leavemeglazzies]

And people really making excuses saying Zaza did it. Zaza is a 7ft clutz doing a sprint closeout.

Such a clutz that he can't even control his muscles enough to let go of somebody's hand when he's about to break it? Keep going Johnny Cochran...

Series would be 1-1 and there would be hope, now all hope is lost.

 

[WASHED KING]

GS has as much of a if not easier path to the Finals as Bron each yr. Can't be but so hard when you play injuried teams every series.

 

[buc em]

You have no idea what would have happened if Kawhi stayed in that game. You just blew the exact same lead to the Warriors AT HOME just a month and a half ago.

Yup with Kawhi and without Durant. The 'what-if' narrative does get tiring.

If LMA was seven years younger, he probably wouldn't be as good as he is now.

Are Spurs fans happy with how LMA has panned out so far?

I forgot that was also without the Warriors best player. Even better.
