Embiid should have just punched buddy if he was gonna get suspended anyways. The problem these days is people love to run their mouths and expect to get away with it.
What a bunch of nonsense from SAS regarding Tatum…
Please get rid of molly!
Wiggs has been out and hasnt played in a few of the matchups vs the celtics so im sure his defense on tatum will be a factor tonight the warriors will need💯
Stephen A. so washed up and a trader! You sold on this my guy!
The league only mad about him missing games more than this incident.. so they suspended him for that and not the shoving!
Let someone talk bout your folks SAS 🤷🏾♂️
A Stephen A if you go push Mad Dog and put your hands around his neck what would ESPN do to you. STOP IT! This guy is a joke, he has a problem keeping his hands to himself. No Excuses!
shocking the puppet/puppets of the League are agreeing with their decision lol
Steve Kerr was and is privileged!
Imagine giving your millionaire employee 3 day vacation
Take him off IR for 3 games and put him back lol he wasnt finna play anyway 😂 🤷🏽♂️
Man they cry for the Celtics so much lol
7-2 celtics mayne
So no punishment for jaxson Hayes case of extreme domestic violence but we got to make it clear that we can't you know startled a reporter.
@11:30 Kawhi never made it to Paris… he was replaced before a game in Vegas..
12:05 Steve Kerr said he was done coaching Team USA and he thinks that it should be a revolving door of sorts months if not a full year before the Olympics.
These are bad arguments.
This made no difference because he doesn't want to play much anyways. He already said he's not playing back to backs.
I was caught up in the moment when I sided with Embid but honestly speaking situation should've been dealt differently having said that that reporter was still very wrong
Jaylen Brown is out tonight and this was known since yesterday lol how little effort is going on over there.
SAS you sound foolish on the Tatum situation. But agree 💯 with you on the Reporter bringing up his brother and son.
Screw JT he always cost me a parlay. Give me 2 threes but go 1for 9 lol
Bringin up that sacrifice made Embiid furious.
Shut up Molly!
Totally agree with you Stephen A !
Steph curry was awful but he was being guarded like he wasn't awful. Tatum doesn't command that level of respect if he's playing trash
Totally agree with you Stephen A !Absolutely Egregious!!!
I have no problem with athletes putting hands on some of these media ppl. U can say what u want and write what u want but consequences may come with what u say and write so choose your words carefully
3 things for certain in life: Death, Taxes, and Steph dropping 40 pus in a game after taking slander toward him personally. Mark my words, if Steph sees this and takes it personal, Stephen A will be the reason for the Celtics demise tonight
