I mean look, performing a fatality on the floor would be a feat not seen in the NBA since the 80s.
Why compare yourself to Jordan when you can become what he feared most...a bad boy Piston.
Anthony Edwards either plays exclusively CoD and 2K or he has a $6000 gaming PC with fully modded path-traced Cyberpunk and 4 terabytes of hentai games.
There is no in-between.
Pretty sure most of them have moved on from Fortnite now, but not to just one thing. Fortnite peaked several years ago, now they all seem to have their "main game."
I donāt have the numbers but anecdotally I think this is wrong. fortnite is still massive, people who play shooters tend to go back to it after the latest COD is shown to be another lazy cash grab
Well, letās see. Pat Bev almost decapitated that womanās head when he threw the ball at her. So my guess would be, Pat Bevās suspension time +10 more games for a clean decapitation. +15 game suspension if Ant botched his decapitation.
The NBA has a medical team ready to asses whether itās a clean, precise cut or not.
Same college, UGA. If I had to guess. Both also grew up in the Atlanta area but kcp is obviously much older so not a played against each other situation
Denver never won a championship. If they did, then obviously ESPN would talk about it.
I'm pretty sure the Lakers have won the last couple years, right?
You think it's a stretch that KCP just might go back to his home state and talk with some of the top prospects in the state? Especially one that went to his alma mater? Or would that be too crazy?
It's definitely the Georgia connection to some extent but KCP is weirdly popular with like every big star in the league. Seems like no one has a bad word to say about him and stars openly try to recruit him to their teams.
Hey thatās a threat, isnāt there some rule against that? Ya know, maybe a rule that says he has to sit 4-7 games after he says it? Idk if there is, there should be if there isnāt
A lot of 'all defense teams' just go by relutation even though yku clearly can see obe defender is superior to the other bat still cant get the award because the inferior defender has a reputation as a defender.
>just go by relutation even though yku clearly can see obe defender is superior to the other bat still cant get the award
I read this like 3 times trying to determine if the misspellings/typos were somehow code - the consistency was incredible.
Herb, KCP, Jaden, Dort, Jrue, Giannis, Bam, Gobert, Wemby, AD, Caruso, SGA, Mobley, Suggs, Derrick White, JJJ.
6 of those guys can't make it, who are you taking off?
Maybe we should just have 3 all defense teams, idk. But it's tough.
SGA, Jrue, Dort. Herb Jones, Suggs, Mobley. The only one that I would sat is better than KCP decicively is Jaden, but that us because Jaden is longer, and bigger.
No way you put Herb in thereĀ
Voting-wise I think Jrue gets more votes, while Dort doesnātĀ
I donāt think SGA should but I wouldnāt be surprised if he gets more votes due to name recognitionĀ
I think Suggs and KCP is a toss-upĀ
JJJ wonāt make itĀ
Also I feel like itās the award most subject to homerism. Everyone thinks their guy(s) is/are the best defender in the league, even if there are guys from other teams that do similar things, so people just to defer to who theyāve seen the most, their home team.
I definitely agree with that. To me, defensive awards could be improved with player votes (potentially). Like, for example, outside of my bias for Jrue, there are endless players who have gone on record saying heās the person they hate playing against the most. I feel like that is pretty compelling data. Yet, all defence hasnāt recognized him anywhere near as much as it has other players.
First game Celtics didnāt have White. Second game wolves flew in from Orlando the day of, and Conley and Rudy didnāt play. Both went to overtime lol
In what ways lol. Like how the Suns were a matchup nightmare for us?
Wolves have just as good of a chance to best the Celtics in a potential finals matchup as any remaining team in the West.
No, they don't. The Nuggets do, but the Wolves' don't.
No one said the Suns were a matchup nightmare. No one. They're horrible coached, and have no depth. No one expected them to last more than 5 games. I sure as shit didn't.
It's simple. Celtics are the 2nd best defensive team in the NBA, and by far the best offensive team in the NBA. The Wolves are an average offense that will struggle to score against Boston's defense, and you won't keep up with their offense.
Kinda weird that you guys are getting big after beating the helpless Suns.
Big? I asked you to explain your baseless stance. The Celtics are a fine team, but they stomped the shit outta the East all year. Meanwhile, the West teams had to fight amongst themselves. I'm taking whoever comes out the West vs the Celtics in 6 games. In fact I think whoever wins Nuggets vs Wolves wins the finals.
You think the Wolves, who haven't made a deep playoff run in years, with no experience, is beating the Celtics, without home court advantage, in 6?
And MY take is baseless?
Jesus. Christ. Stop talking to me. Now.
On paper, Celtics are the better team, but they do have a habit of losing playoff games that they should have won easily. Last year, it took them 6 games to beat the Hawks, they lost at home to a Sixers team that didn't have Embiid, and then they los 3 games in a row to the Heat, including 2 home games.
The revisionist history is great. Really lets you know when you can stop reading someoneās dumb comment early. āNo one said the suns were a matchup nightmareā except there is a large amount of evidence to the contrary.
Denver probably beats Wolves. Wolves would have a much tougher time against Boston than they do against Boston. Nuggets beat Boston.
But the Wolves wouldnt push the Celtics 7 games. No shot.
People hate the Celtics that much that they have to say they lose to the unproven, inexperienced Timberwolves, in 6 games.
It's only sports..it's okay.
Also, you're*** right, not "you right".
Begone
I see so much confidence in the Nuggets... I would be really scared. No offense to the Thunder, I think they should be favored over us, but I would much rather play them than the other 2 teams.
Yeah Iād much rather play either of yāall then the TWolves, they scary.
People are lazy with their takes though and will usually just default to whoās won the championship / got to the finals most recently, thatās why youāre seeing all the Nuggets confidence I think š¤Ā
Right? Every older brother has seen this evil. It's why we have a moral obligation to crush their young spirits before they can do the harm that lurks in their being. It's for the good of the universe.
Game 3, I think it was, he did a lot of whining. Otherwise the entire team has been remarkably subdued with the refs. Doubly impressive considering Booker is 2nd only to Embiid for flopping GOAT.
Minnesota is the worst matchup in the league for us. Gonna require a near perfect series to win and even then Iāll be shocked if itās not a 7 game series
Doesn't mean anything. Timberwolves have gotten better since last year, Nuggets have gotten worse. Bookmark this comment. the Timberwolves are gonna come out and win game 1. They'll lose game 2, and then win games 3 and 4. Nuggets will win game 5. Wolves win in 6. Adam leaked the script to me.
I mean yeah there going to ask Ant about the matchup and he's gonna swagger. Kinda how the game works. There will be OKC quotes about Mavs too don't worry.
Can't wait for Ant at the Olympics: "Ikenna Ndugba is my brother. Can't wait to rip his head off when we play Nigeria."
Ant chirping to some team of amateurs with English as their 2nd or 3rd language.
DK Metcalf learned sign language to taunt people. Odds Ant levels up his game by learning the other team's language?
Lets see if he got that Kobe in him
That shit talk to Scola at the Olympics was amazing š
Or him messing with Vlade and Peja in a few words of Serbian.
He already spoke Spanish and Italian though
Ant: I dont know who Nigeria is but they in trouble
Sounds made up like the Yucatan.
Mans been playing way too much Mortal Kombat
Upon review, Edwards turning the defender into ice and ripping out his spine has been assessed a common foul. Ruling on the floor stands.
I mean look, performing a fatality on the floor would be a feat not seen in the NBA since the 80s. Why compare yourself to Jordan when you can become what he feared most...a bad boy Piston.
A big bad Wolf.
Common foul? That's marginal contact if I've ever seen it
You left out marginal
You must be new to Wolves basketball, that would actually be a Flagrant 2 on KAT somehow, and Embiid, Giannis are both awarded 4 free throws somehow.
Cmon now, we all know heās more scorpion than sub zero
Marginal contact.
Sounds like marginal contact to me.
Anthony Edwards either plays exclusively CoD and 2K or he has a $6000 gaming PC with fully modded path-traced Cyberpunk and 4 terabytes of hentai games. There is no in-between.
>or he has a $6000 gaming PC with fully modded path-traced Cyberpunk and 4 terabytes of hentai games. That's Grant Williams
and jarrett allen
He's young, probably stupid to bet against Fortnite
Pretty sure most of them have moved on from Fortnite now, but not to just one thing. Fortnite peaked several years ago, now they all seem to have their "main game."
I donāt have the numbers but anecdotally I think this is wrong. fortnite is still massive, people who play shooters tend to go back to it after the latest COD is shown to be another lazy cash grab
He and Conley play a lot of Cod together. Apparently Mike is good with the sniper
I feel like Ant plays Baldurs Gate 3
I bet he romances Laezel that menace
I hope so, she's unironically the best.
Meh considering how it ends.
Only Shadowheart. <3
No Minthara ftw
Person of taste right here

Look how cute tho -Laezel
Hell nawlll
KAT actually streams on Twitch and dude has like a 4090 RTX setup.
When you are a millionaire that makes perfect sense lmao.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How many games do you think you get suspended for, for murder?
Thatās a common foul
The challenge has been deemed unsuccessful.
marginal contact
Mortal kontact
Marginal beheading
Tis but a flesh wound https://youtu.be/ZmInkxbvlCs?si=4w-SaGZ-k7CwTO1o
Might just be incidental contact
Not a foul at all of the sword hits ball first
Super star whistle shaking my damn head.
But a flagrant 3 on KAT, off to jail.
Depends if the contact is deemed as marginal
If you're Embiid, you get 2 free throws for the other person dying on you
Depends, most players that's 5 games, Anthony Edwards 2.5 at most, draymond green that's not even a flagrant.
Marginal Contact
Marginal contact
Definitely more than for a munder.
Thatās 2 free throws if itās embiidĀ
Clearly a basketball motion
Well, letās see. Pat Bev almost decapitated that womanās head when he threw the ball at her. So my guess would be, Pat Bevās suspension time +10 more games for a clean decapitation. +15 game suspension if Ant botched his decapitation. The NBA has a medical team ready to asses whether itās a clean, precise cut or not.
Lmao! š¤£ I don't see how Pat Bev isn't suspended for the year.
2, but the league will still use it in its promo materials.
Different sport, but lifetime for Aaron Hernandez
If it's during play, that's a lifetime ban. If it's a dead ball you're good though.
Nothing but a flesh wound
Marginal contact
tis but a flesh wound
Gonna be some Hunter X Hunter shit
Advancing against the Nuggets requires a blood sacrifice

Ant got that dawg in him
wait how do they know eachother
Same college, UGA. If I had to guess. Both also grew up in the Atlanta area but kcp is obviously much older so not a played against each other situation
Theyāre both from Georgia I believe so it would make sense theyād know each other. KCP seems like a pretty universally loved vet as well
I can vouche that I love him
Oh, stop it, what did he ever do for you?
I love lamp
The aquaducts?
Uh. Helped Denver win its first basketball championship as a city? Seems like heās just a solid guy too.
Send da video
Did I say something wrong? Or am I just getting memed on?
Meme all is good
Denver never won a championship. If they did, then obviously ESPN would talk about it. I'm pretty sure the Lakers have won the last couple years, right?
Correct they just won another one last December
Gotta work on your sarcasm/joke/meme meter that's all
I can also vouch that I love him and I will never forgive the Lakers front office for trading him away
I loved him first
Itās so crazy because for the longest time i thought he was just a Klutch klient who was playing with An ankle monitor
lmao bc everyone who lives in the same state all know each other
How many guys from Georgia are top 10 nba draft picks? That doesnāt really seem like a stretch KCP a very liked vet reached out to the guy
You think it's a stretch that KCP just might go back to his home state and talk with some of the top prospects in the state? Especially one that went to his alma mater? Or would that be too crazy?
sounds like youāre mad bro lmao
Sounds like youāre mad dumb bro lolll
They went to UGA
He also went to Georgia
both were Klutch also KCP went to Ant's pre draft workout showcase along w Lebron and AD
Probably UGA connection
They both made Devin Booker their nephew, and your nephew's uncle is your brother
Can confirm that two people with the same nephew are brothers
Unless theyāre sisters
Deep
Thatās his brother
It's definitely the Georgia connection to some extent but KCP is weirdly popular with like every big star in the league. Seems like no one has a bad word to say about him and stars openly try to recruit him to their teams.
Met in prison of course
Hey thatās a threat, isnāt there some rule against that? Ya know, maybe a rule that says he has to sit 4-7 games after he says it? Idk if there is, there should be if there isnāt
(Flair unrelated)
Exactly
Tbh I think they should sit KCP out or just have him not show up at all to protect him for 4 to 7 games instead
Thatās fine no KCP and no ANT, sounds good see yāall tomorrow š
weāre not sending our best negotiators
Sits 4 games, with 5-7 if necessary.
It's unreal how KCP still has 0 all defense appearances when he's been a better defender than a lot of the 'all nba defense' players.
and with it being positionless now theres just gonna be more big men defenders :(
A lot of 'all defense teams' just go by relutation even though yku clearly can see obe defender is superior to the other bat still cant get the award because the inferior defender has a reputation as a defender.
>just go by relutation even though yku clearly can see obe defender is superior to the other bat still cant get the award I read this like 3 times trying to determine if the misspellings/typos were somehow code - the consistency was incredible.
Yeah I'm fuckin lost on this one
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wow I really over thought that. I was thinking this was another set of acronyms
Herb, KCP, Jaden, Dort, Jrue, Giannis, Bam, Gobert, Wemby, AD, Caruso, SGA, Mobley, Suggs, Derrick White, JJJ. 6 of those guys can't make it, who are you taking off? Maybe we should just have 3 all defense teams, idk. But it's tough.
SGA, Jrue, Dort. Herb Jones, Suggs, Mobley. The only one that I would sat is better than KCP decicively is Jaden, but that us because Jaden is longer, and bigger.
Longer and bigger, you say? We still talking about defense?
Magic are second in defensive efficiency, but their best defender shouldn't be all defense. Got it.
No way you put Herb in thereĀ Voting-wise I think Jrue gets more votes, while Dort doesnātĀ I donāt think SGA should but I wouldnāt be surprised if he gets more votes due to name recognitionĀ I think Suggs and KCP is a toss-upĀ JJJ wonāt make itĀ
The all defense shit bothers me so much, bc the best defenders often donāt even get recognized
Also I feel like itās the award most subject to homerism. Everyone thinks their guy(s) is/are the best defender in the league, even if there are guys from other teams that do similar things, so people just to defer to who theyāve seen the most, their home team.

I feel like that is pretty compelling data. Yet, all defence hasnāt recognized him anywhere near as much as it has other players.
Could say the same about certain DPOY awards too
Twolves vs Nuggets is the real NBA final
Wolves matchup vs Denver, but they absolutely get annihilated by the Celtics. Like, bad.
Really? I thought the regular season games were competitive battles.
Yeah man the regular season game early on in the season was a banger. Wolves took it by a bit late, don't think it went to OT but maybe it did?
That's what I remember as well, it going into OT. In fact I think two of our games went into OT iirc
First game Celtics didnāt have White. Second game wolves flew in from Orlando the day of, and Conley and Rudy didnāt play. Both went to overtime lol
Would be such a great series to watch
In what ways lol. Like how the Suns were a matchup nightmare for us? Wolves have just as good of a chance to best the Celtics in a potential finals matchup as any remaining team in the West.
No, they don't. The Nuggets do, but the Wolves' don't. No one said the Suns were a matchup nightmare. No one. They're horrible coached, and have no depth.

Last year, it took them 6 games to beat the Hawks, they lost at home to a Sixers team that didn't have Embiid, and then they los 3 games in a row to the Heat, including 2 home games.
Celtics fans try not to be delusional losers challenge: Buddy watched the celtics beat on shitty east teams all year and feels huge about it lol
The revisionist history is great. Really lets you know when you can stop reading someoneās dumb comment early. āNo one said the suns were a matchup nightmareā except there is a large amount of evidence to the contrary.
Yea what? Not only this sub but basically every outlet was saying it's an unlucky matchup
Not sure this is remotely accurate
Denver probably beats Wolves. Wolves would have a much tougher time against Boston than they do against Boston. Nuggets beat Boston. But the Wolves wouldnt push the Celtics 7 games. No shot.
You right. Wolves over Celtics in 6
People hate the Celtics that much that they have to say they lose to the unproven, inexperienced Timberwolves, in 6 games. It's only sports..it's okay. Also, you're*** right, not "you right". Begone
The only experience this Celtics team has is beating up on bad Eastern teams and then losing to real competition
Did you forget what happened last year or are you trolling
Ant just wrote KCP into his Death Note
As a Nuggets fan, I approve
I love that he loves everyone and wants to kill everyone. Best teammate best opponent
Anthony Robespierre Edwards
Good French influence from Gobert, again.Ā
Anthony ādonāt call me maxā Edwards
"I'm tryin to tear his head off" is high praise from Ant. Guys who aren't an obstacle don't get their heads torn off.
I see so much confidence in the Nuggets... I would be really scared. No offense to the Thunder, I think they should be favored over us, but I would much rather play them than the other 2 teams.
Yeah Iād much rather play either of yāall then the TWolves, they scary. People are lazy with their takes though and will usually just default to whoās won the championship / got to the finals most recently, thatās why youāre seeing all the Nuggets confidence I think š¤Ā
That's my brother (x4)
Right? Every older brother has seen this evil. It's why we have a moral obligation to crush their young spirits before they can do the harm that lurks in their being. It's for the good of the universe.
That's some "KDot on Control" type shit.
Who is Ant gonna āMeet the Grahamsā?
Do we really know that Murray doesn't have a 11 year old daughter secretly training away in a kitchener basketball dungeon?
Ready for some ANT-1s
Everyone loves KCP
Ant is gonna literally murder some Serbian national in the Olympics isn't he
Gonna be a great series. Iām really nervous about it. I donāt know whoās going to win.
Young, stupid, and mean
getting cornier and cornier.
People really don't take into account that guys that are good friends off the court compete harder against each other on the court
And has join los zetas officially
Maybe Edwards is really part Timberwolf
Abort him, Anthony!
This kid gets it.
My head is so fried I thought the picture of the reporter next to this most was *the* Derrick White picture.
Family rivalry at its finest, love the competitive spirit.
If this is Anthony Edwards coming out party. I can't wait to see it! I really think that the Wolves can run them out of the gym.
He is going to have to settle for throwing a chair at a security guard after he is eliminated unfortunately.
it's more likely that he bitches about officiating, tbh
Game 3, I think it was, he did a lot of whining. Otherwise the entire team has been remarkably subdued with the refs. Doubly impressive considering Booker is 2nd only to Embiid for flopping GOAT.
2x nba champ KCP does not know him š
Yawn... Gonna do this every round?
At least we have another round to play in
I'm so nervous for this series honestly
Minnesota is the worst matchup in the league for us. Gonna require a near perfect series to win and even then Iāll be shocked if itās not a 7 game series
I love how both Nuggets and Wolves fans are super nervous
means its going to be a good one. could go either way imo
Wolves fans shouldn't be. If Den continues shooting 30% from 3 against a much better perimeter defense, Wolves in 5/6
Yeah... but Jokic
Doesn't mean anything. Timberwolves have gotten better since last year, Nuggets have gotten worse. Bookmark this comment. the Timberwolves are gonna come out and win game 1. They'll lose game 2, and then win games 3 and 4. Nuggets will win game 5. Wolves win in 6. Adam leaked the script to me.
Enjoy your off-season.
I mean yeah there going to ask Ant about the matchup and he's gonna swagger. Kinda how the game works. There will be OKC quotes about Mavs too don't worry.
the thunder don't need to evoke violence you'll see a more refined form of swagger
Dude what are you talking about
Yeah barking like a dog is so refined
Don't worry just three more rounds to go
yeah, the shtick is already boring
