tank fines are HEAVY, it can get into the millions.
Lauri must play, no more cheating.
college ball isn't better. They park a giant Center under the hoop in zone defense, and teams can only score about 60 points
Debating between Tre jones and dalton knetch
I feel like he talking to me personally rn 😢
Mavs podcasters had a truly exciting conversion about Brandon Williams replacing Kyrie Irving next season.
Plumlee headbutted Adams, and ended up cutting his own forehead.
..folks … please don't smash your head into a Redwood tree
the lottery is a broken system the nba needs to change it. You cant have 30% of the games being shit because teams are incentivised to lose if you ask me
How do you call a tanking team (Raptors) who is winning? 😀
If you not subscribed to Josh’s channel by now then what are you doing!?
Clippers week and I needed 3s – thank you Bogi, I love having my best stream of the year during playoffs (still losing 0-9)
Don't understand the complaint about the tweet. Regardless of the success rate, 22 3 point attempts to 2 2 point attempts is astounding and worth noting. Is the idea here to keep observations to yourself because people might run with it and get mad? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
john collins or deni avdija
Braun isnt bad………huhuhu dont say that.
So when are raptors getting fined
dayron or vanderbilt 12t points for getting that 3 game value?
Trae wasn't even an All-Star when they investigated them and fined them
Was going to stream Ware’s spot after the Fri/Sat B2B, but should I drop now for Robinson? I would lose the chance to add an extra game, but Ware has been bad, and another game like this from robinson would be worth it. Thoughts? 12T 9 Cat, 1st round of playoffs, tight matchup.
21/21 for Trae Young FT% is HUGE… I really wanted HIM on my small man build team but instead I have Cade and Dame and Jamal Murray… not really any complaints on who I do have though either… LOL. (I could have maybe traded Dame for Trae a while back?)
Who is the best coach (and 2nd) in the league according to Josh if Spoelstra is 2nd or 3rd?
the way you say is colllins and sexton add? like in a dimond league those players already rostered. no way we can pick them up, so yeah we have to hold collier and filipowski
I agree about positive content. Commentators froff any stat they can froff though
I have a solid lead in my semi final matchup and I'm wondering if it's even necessary to cut Deuce. I know I could get more by moving on, but is it necessary? Decisions decisions..
42:49 is Josh roleplaying as Shaq 😂😂
Actually Scoot's minutes have been trending up Josh (32 mins, 30 mins & 32 mins tonight not including OT). I think as the realization dawns on Portland that the play-in is out of reach, they are back to prioritizing Scoot for 30mins+ a night. I like the trend, but of course need to prioritize playing the schedule like you mention this time of year
Josh hates 🌮 leagues and league winners 🏆
Scoot was so good last night!
Don't be too hard on yourself Josh! That was a good BARNESY
Now I know you love Kornet Josh, but Luka Kornet is a bit much no?
Trae Young shooting 21/21 from the line might have won me that category already
I’m ok with tanking late like this but what i hate is the teams that tank all year… Utah wizards….
.. i hate it and think it weakens the NBA as a whole.. Teams should be heavily fined, lose picks idk,something big for tanking to early
as far as i’m concerned, josh is the king of australia
hey josh i’ve never heard you talk about Kyrie saying he wants to play for Australia in the olympics.. He apparently was born there.. I know he’s hurt now but that can still be a thing.. What do you think.??
josh the correct term for what underdog is doing is called “rage bait”
Josh can we get a Truman Show live video feed of your entire life? Just an interesting guy 😎
Bridges walked on that game winner.. If walks were truly enforced that wouldn’t have counted.. It’s an obvious walk
Maybe give better odds to the 5-8 worst record teams instead of the 1-4 records would force the bottom 4 teams to fight for wins instead of fighting to lose
is FVV worth holding? points league
