Certified Legendary Thread The Official Bigfooty NBA 2022-3 Week 9 Thread: Pelicans top of the West

Sad to hear about the end of the Celtics Championship run.

Spoil sport Billups sitting Dame for the final quarter when he needed three 3s to tie Klay's or 4 to beat it.

MVP renamed after the GOAT and all is well in the world.

Can already tell clutch player of the year is going to be an absolute crap shoot of an award

I still remember Klay's record game. Had his 14th 3 pointer half way through the third.

Hot Klay > Hot Steph.

I actually like this a lot

Can't wait for Draymond to tell us DPOY should have been named after him.

 

[kozi]

Not a bad little 5 game slate today

 

[Financialpanther]

Can't believe there isn't a Brian Scalabrine Trophy

I feel Dikembe or Scottie Pippen for the DPOY.

How dare you. I do think more limited offensively players get looked at as supreme defenders more favourably than all around players. Mutumbo for example is covered by Hakeem in all defensive stats, Hakeem even averaged nearly 2 steals a game as a centre.

racist

but a valid argument.

Philly have had 10 more FT's than the Kings and its less than 4 mins gone in the 2nd quarter.

This is a big reason why most folks hate the Sixers.

Technically it should have been Bill Russell named for DPOY, but they already named finals MVP over him.

Absolutely got no issues with Hakeem being honoured in this way, I am old enough to have watched him play, an absolute defensive and all round beast.

Btw if it was named after Pippen, sour Scottie would still find a way to have a whinge and complain that they named the MVP after Michael Jordan lol

Should have an award for the second best player and name it after Pip - boy that would be fun.

Jerry West wasn't really clutch controlling his emotions in Winning Time haha (can't wait for series 3 of that )

Rapt Hondo was honoured, most underrated NBA legend ever imo

Pip wasn't even the best defensive player on his team or even second once The Worm arrived.

You watching this game? What ones haven't been justified?

Lol Giannis

I missed the first quarter admittedly, but anyhow the Sixers are now blowing them out, so it's probably an unnecessary whinge from me !

Switched over to Dubs v Bucks now.

 

[Slysh]

Sabonis legit just got a foul on Embiid with legitimately 0 contact made... Tony Brothers is a clown

 

[Marcel Proust]

The take foul rule is so good

 

[Slysh]

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Lock it in the Celtics will bounce back and beat the ancient enemy today.

No bets taken, just bragging rights. We are taking LeWashedUp and the Lolakers to Skool, Bill and Red Leprachun master-class style !!!

BEAT LA
BEAT LA
BEAT LA
BEAT LA
BEAT LA

 

[Stan Van Gundy]

The Warriors are too small. Getting absolutely bullied here.
