NO MERECEMOS A KEVIN DURANT. El tipo solo ha dado su 100% en todos los aspectos y en esta porquería de estación de radio solo le han tirado mi3rda. Gente pequeña con un odio inmenso
Here's the spark that starts the nuclear firestorm!!!!! The x factor……. Lets go Gillespie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When need to get rid of Beal
He's better than tyus Jones
With one game let’s not get carried away – BUT you can’t argue what he sparked it AND just hearing stories about his involvement in the lockeroom regardless of PT? Great to see. He was definitely more efficient than Tyus has been. But Gillespie AND Dunn need more PT..
Dan, you're still the Best! Thank you❤
Collin’s performance wasn’t a fluke he needs to get more minutes gradually
START GILLESPIE‼️
Its kDs fault
Everything has changed! Blame KD 😅😅😅
Don't need an alpha
Already got KD and Booker.
We need a playmaker PG. Not a leader just a playmaker PG.
Booker and KD are already leaders.
I saw something totally different. I saw that the crowd started booing and KD was like hell nah and got really aggressive. Suns went on a run and Gilepsy stepped up and helped get them over the edge.
He's the best point guard we got. Play him!
IDK about the season but him coming in and saving the one game is almost identical to the plot of the movie, "One on One."
It’s ONE QUARTER of play. I’m a huge fan, and I want to believe anything, but let’s slow wayyyyyyyy down. Gillespie played 5 years at Villanova, one year with the Nuggets, and they were fine letting him go, and this year with us. He didn’t all of a sudden become something he has never been: a starting caliber NBA player.
No
Great game that was fun let’s do it again
Collin Gillespie could be our Austin Reaves 🤩that unexpected undrafted hero
I love some Gilles-pie 🥧
He inspired KD
He had Book running like thoroughbred
Everyone was flying around
Expecting a young G leaguer to save any team is just wishful thinking.
