Imagine if you could get a way in the NBA where players have in earpieces that don’t fall out but still allow hearing to where you could hear your coach all game. Too much? You’d probably hear nonstop yelling anyway lol

Haliburton’s passes aren’t that great, because he only looks away after making the pass. He was looking straight at Siakam, and only looked away after he had made the pass. Pretty lame in my book

Most of those Halliburton no looks are not happening as you describe them but I bet the NBA makes you put in certain players in these videos

one thing i wanna throw in there is I think Nembhard is getting away with a little sneak tug on the arms after the chair pull, kinda still a foul. Game is game tho the chair pull is legit
@E_T_H
June 2, 2025 at 8:37 pm
I think he wouldn’t get away with it as much in the regular season but since it’s playoffs, it’s felt like the refs have put away their whistles which is kind of refreshing.

Facts mpj was so frustrating he only showed up in like 2 games id rather he just be consistent and average instead of being a hot shooter in only 2 games and a turnover machine in the next 5 I ain’t even a Denver fan bro I just wanted okc to lose so I tuned in and bro made me stressed

2:00 I’m glad Myles Turner has his defensive reputation back. He was lost on that for a while, but now I feel like he is a solid a reputable rim defender again.
@Draregkoeliekalie
June 3, 2025 at 3:18 pm
Haliburton always has a little over the top no look pass which is not neccesary. He always makes an exrtra twist after he allready made the no look pass which serves no purpose at all.

Thunder put Caruso on Jokic cuz no fouls would be called on him in a matchup like that. And then they beat the Nuggets by flopping on the other end allowing SGA to shoot 30+ FTs. This is the leagues fault, makes games really hard to watch, please do something next year
@PraeQuae
June 3, 2025 at 6:30 pm
Jokic shot more free throws than Shai all series, Denver just couldn’t guard Shai without fouling. Jokic got tired because his usage was so high and he had to battle a deep rotation of rested, all-nba defenders all series… these videos show him getting ripped cleanly over and over, not a foul in sight. The man isn’t god, he just got outplayed. Maybe if Denver can get a bench next season will look different. In the meantime, don’t leave these delusional comments
