Opening commentary S02E05 NBARABU (Los Angeles Clippers @ Dallas Mavericks) Astro Arena

Aku tanya apa khabar keluarga bola keranjang 🇲🇾 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

@TheHoopCentral Istg KAT has been doing this since his rookie year when he was playing with Rubio and had some passive-aggressive non-verbal back-and-forths with Ricky on who could do the nicest no-look passes 😂

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@CookedbyRiley Dude actually said: “bring me Danhausen’s number, we need him back on our side”

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@SportsCenter Not surprising to people that paid attention to KAT’s playoff defense on KD & Jokic a couple of seasons ago. Wemby is nowhere near as quick as KD or as strong as Jokic; KAT is the only 250lbs guy with enough wingspan and lateral quickness to bother Wemby’s perimeter game 💯

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@KevinOConnor Dude makes 41.5mil next season, goes up to 55mil by the final year. Look at the list of bigs making 35-50mil next season, and it’s clear that they’re stuck with Chet. Better move is finding a near 7-footer to play SF, so OKC can have three 7-footers in a zone to guard Wemby

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@itspikaaa Of course Spurs would give him a ring if they win, this team roster simply isnt possible if Sochan wasnt the starting point guard for them in the 23-24 season. Great ‘developmental experiment’ by Coach Pop, great sport in Jeremy 😂

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@MeloStann Lamelo does not need a 41mil/yr center that gets worse in the playoffs like Chet, he needs a 20mil/yr center that gets better in the playoffs like Steven Adams. Charlotte thrives off continuity & chemistry, Chet’s contract will only ruin the past few years’ great roster building!

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@520Hen Chet looks like Timothee Chalamet if he made a deal with the devil to be a 7-footer, but has to give up his good looks. Still kept his acting chops to use against the refs tho

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@D_West30 Both are… technically correct?

Fundamental 1950s basketball: guy at the top (PG) is never allowed to shoot and is always tasked with being the first player back on transition D

Modern basketball: if the guy at the top needs to shoot, the wings need to run back first instead

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@AJTalkSports My old ass read this and immediately went “Sengun’s way slower and less athletic than McHale, tho” 😂

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@OldManAndThree Don’t think newer fans know how holistically impactful Rubio was on both ends of the court. Eg:
- gave USA legit fight for Olympic gold as a 17yo, even guarded Kobe,
- dropped 26/11/10 on prime Westbrook in the playoffs,
- top 10 all-time Wolves offensive AND defensive win shares

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@TrueHoop All this “boohoo he lost his job” seems stupid when dude’s gonna get 10mil/yr for the next four years from Dallas while probably scheming his way through another team’s front office. Why y’all feeling sorry for this shxt 🤣

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@HornetsNationCP Lol 33mil/yr for a 6’9’ third option? Might as well keep Miles Bridges for slightly less production; he’s massively less damaging to the team’s salary situation. Hornets need a 7-foot 3&D guy like Porzingis or Brook Lopez, not an aging former all-star like Randle 🤦🏻‍♂️

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@francistennn Close in comparison when it comes to both creativity and audacity are Rubio and Lamelo

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@zoffuzdnzz @awfulannouncing Agree with the sentiment except for the slightly better offensive skills part. Rodman is a waaay better scorer than Green. Dennis was scoring 26ppg in college but chose to focus on defense in the NBA ( partly due to spending his rookie years with the Bad Boy Pistons)

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@Mikethejohnson Only reason boston won a chip with that system was because they had a 7’4 shot-blocking, 3pt-shooting, putback-dunking unicorn earning only 30mil/yr.

There’s still hope that Kalkbrenner can change the long-term trajectory of this team if his final form truly materializes

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

Penting betul watak Syu dlm #SujudTerakhirEncikNorman ni. Daripada comic relief ke tazkirah, dua2 pun dia pull off dengan terbaik. Salute 🫡

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@hornets Ball game-winning layup + Miles game-saving block feels like such a poetic end to the game, esp for fans that saw the previous play-in game. What a journey!

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

Me & my mom called it a month ago, mmg betul la Arman tu menipu je kata kat Umar konon dorg dah kahwin la apa la padahal dia tu per*gol! Siot tol.

P/s: mufti wp & medical world condones abortion for r*pe victims utk elakkan kemalangan jiwa sbb situasi ni byk berlaku irl doo 😭😭

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

Next prediction: Arman tu yg dok edit buat video AI utk frame Ema dari first epi lg, dia adik-beradik tiri dgn Norman tapi kena buang famili lepas kantoi r*gol Ema, dan dia yg sabotaj flight Norman (sbb tu diorg prep wasiat awal2, dah tau pasal Arman ni)
#sujudterakhirenciknorman

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

@FIBA3x3 Down 17-19 to an opponent they’ve never beaten, Zhen Yang goes nuclear with 4 straight points to end the game. The two heavily contested layups and gamewinning 2ptr over a taller defender was just absolute cinema. What a win!

[AfiqPG @afiq_pg]

Ep15 #SujudTerakhirEncikNorman is a GREAT midseason episode. First half tunjuk POV Ema & jawab unanswered questions, second half tunjuk POV Arman campuradukkan fakta dan penipuan untuk manipulasi Umar - sekaligus setup baikkk punya konflik utk second half season ni. Powerrr 🫡
