Well it appears the phantom 4th foul call on Klay has pissed him off

For those who don't watch the Warriors regularly, this version of Jordan Poole (a little out of control, a little out of sorts) is what you get about half the time.

Curry has been terrible so far.

reported by who? And where did they get it? It makes no sense for them to report he would play, they should have qualified it then. Although, I can see for negativity purposes they may not do that. Either way, hes a bum

I know Iggy is old but how is he just completely incapable of shooting the ball? Like he could just step into a 15 footer a lot, he avoided a layup basically there. He was a good scorer, it makes no sense.

It's been at least a decade since Iggy was an effective scorer. He is shooting below 40% over his last 100 games in the NBA.

If he wins his grievance, at the conclusion of his current contract Ben Simmons will have received $197,579,650 in NBA salary.

God Bless America.

Doris Burke just said "there's a lot of fight in Austin Rivers." I'm not sure how I'm supposed to react to such a statement.

It's strange to me too. Seems no reason age would make.you.no longer able to shoot open shots.

Kerr made some terrible decisions down the stretch. That box and one was terrible, as was the inbounds play to Wiggins.

lol it is the NBA

not like this is a pickup at a gym, you are going full speed against the best athletes in the world

obviously for old guys any part of their game can atrophy over time......Iggy may still look like himself in spurts but your legs start going, it is going to affect your ability to get open shots up

Agreed. It was nice to see a team down 3-0 fight like Denver did tonight. Tomorrow night, I'm sure the Nets will show everyone what it looks like to quit when you are down 3-0.

Trust me I know all of that, but I'm not talking about getting open shots, they were literally giving him 10+ of cushion with no help around him. He could have dribbled up uncontested a couple of times to the free throw line and still been wide open. If he has 0 confidence is doing that I'm questioning Kerr's decision making in playing him at all. And whoever said he hasn't been an effective scorer for a decade is flat wrong. He may not have been able to get his own shot near as well but he could make open shots (clutch shots) and could score 20 on occasion. I'd be dumbfounded at this point if he scored 10 in a game.

edit: and to whoever said your shot could atrophy over time, maybe to a small degree sure but that is usually due to endurance and legs giving out after playing a bunch of minutes. I know 60 year olds who still shoot very well.

Every second old man Iggy plays is an example of terrible coaching. You have a future hall of famer (Kuminga) on the bench. I don't care if he's too young/not ready. Playing a near useless NBA senior citizen over that option is inexcusable.

How do guys like Kuminga get experience? You play them!

Especially in situations when you're up 3-0 and literally playing with house money.

Pretty amazing that Brook Lopez managed to

Start the season

Get hurt and have back surgery

Miss 5 months

And get back to the floor before the LOLtastic pathetic loser that goes by the name of Ben Simmons.

The players union are asleep at the wheel by not stepping in and just letting this happen, because this clown is gonna give the owners a ton of ammunition to use going forward when the current CBA expires and screw over tons of future players because he doesn't want to play basketball anymore but still wants to get paid his salary.

Ugh, so disgusted with the Hawks' showing tonight.

Just terrible shot selection in the first half... chucking from everywhere, ugly turnovers, missed free throws.

Zero fast break points too.

Congrats to Spo for figuring out how to stop Trae's pick n roll... apparently you just have to blitz the hell out of him and he'll make his own mistakes more often than he'll make a superstar play.

Heat Culture is ECF bound due to Embiid’s hand ligament issue. Shout out to vinivici !

I’d even say that the Raptors are quite live to come back from down 0-3 except for the fact of FVV’s hip injury (I read he was already playing hurt when he injured it). FVV is already listed as questionable for G5.

Heat D cut off the snake with their switching on Trae, he's looked shellshocked all series besides gm 3 late. Even then it was hitting 30 footers.

Bog back down to earth as well which was predictable, he was playing like a Klay Thompson clone with better playmaking

Man this game is awesome.

Between the Ben Simmons and Zion sagas its a real black mark on the league. Whether you want to blame the players (I think they are both the problem here) or not it just isn't a good look.

Edit: Man McGee has really improved from his shaqtin a fool days. He actually plays decent help D and is a good pick and rim run dude. Has touch too.
