Great 49ers gift ideas ⇨

I don't always wear pants, but when I do they are definitely made out of Hefty black plastic garbage bags.

These "stylists" are legit getting out of hand. Making these guys look like clowns.

Westbrook is balling out of his mind. He's been so good. Imagine if you put him with two legit superstars, like say LeBron and Anthony Davis, it'd be lights out for the rest of the league for sure.

Lmao

What has Dillon Brooks done??!! Lol, Lakers taking no prisoners so far.

lol

I like Dillon tho.

100%

Although I don't care for Brooks, I didn't think he deserved to be ejected. He appeared to be playing the ball (no pun intended) but was careless and overzealous. Should've been a flagrant 1 at max.

The NBA does such a poor job officiating and it gets exponentially worse in the playoffs because everyone is watching.

Embiid deserved a flagrant 2 and ejection for what he did (clearly unnecessary and excessive) while at the same time Harden didn't deserve a flagrant 2 or ejection. Harden isn't trying to hit the defender below the belt (and I'm not sure he even did). Again flagrant 1 max.

Draymond was obvious - the act itself combined with his history of unsportsmanlike behavior deserved everything he got.

I think Embiid should have def been a flagrant 2. If you're gonna hand out flagrant 2 for Harden and Brooks - then Embiid's was the worst.

Harden one was the weakest. That shouldn't have been a flagrant 2. Brooks probably got ejected bc of what he said before the game and refs wanted some control over a pretty physical game. I think flagrant 1 is probably the right call but I feel this is how NBA wants to rule on groin shots.

…which is why Embiid not getting ejected makes no sense. That was easily the worst of it all.

Least surprising stuff. Another reason why Pop is the GOAT coach.

Agree

Lmaoooooo

brooks should have been suspended by the precedent NBA set

has a history (see gp2), most techs all season, and has been running his mouth all season long, but I guess since it wasn't at the crowd it's ok.

What Brooks did was not nearly as bad as what Draymond did. I don't even think Brooks' actions were intentional. Also Green's history is far more extensive than Brooks.
