@eringrugan @Liberty_Ballers Time certainly told….

@RalphyHeraldSun All this over a $1,500 fine? What am I missing?

@JohnCasey2880 @nblfacts The GOAT

@HoopConsultants @andrewbogut @Adelaide36ers

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@OlgunUluc It’s only a foul if they call it….

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@OlgunUluc I guess ‘defending him’ has a broader definition than I thought…..

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@SpikeEskin @RTRSPodcast @MOConnor_NBA Joel/Giannis is also a very tricky fit - if you’re trading for Giannis now, you probably should try and see if anyone will take Joel and get back something that fits better, even if you attach assets. I don’t want to do this either.

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@SpikeEskin @RTRSPodcast @MOConnor_NBA Giannis has played 3 more games than Embiid this year and is out for the next 6 weeks. Another injury prone superstar is more than I can take.

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@OlgunUluc Amen to that!

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@OlgunUluc By play-style issues - I assume you mean the fact that anyone who isn’t Bryce is not allowed to look at the hoop without checking with him first? Or that a team with this much talent doesn’t have a single 3 man on the roster?

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@Harrison_Grimm Joel not playing isn’t what it used to be….

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bdetrick So who should they give the ball to late in games then?

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bdetrick How do the numbers compare when Joel plays to when he doesn’t?

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bballbreakdown @mrshaheedmalik That we can agree on

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bballbreakdown @mrshaheedmalik Expanding was more accurate

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bballbreakdown @mrshaheedmalik Expanding the rule is a very good description….

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bballbreakdown @mrshaheedmalik You’re missing the point- yes, you can have 2 steps after you gather/zero step/pick up your dribble, whatever you want to call it. The problem is the interpretation is so broad/grey as to what this is. But you understand it so good for you.

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bballbreakdown @mrshaheedmalik Well I’m definitely convinced now! 🍎 🍊

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bballbreakdown @mrshaheedmalik I mean footage from the 30’s would be impressive. Or alternatively find something from any other league in the world that looks remotely like this.

[Matt Illman @mattillman]

@bballbreakdown @mrshaheedmalik Oh, well that makes it ok then….
