Why can't Morant not do stupid things? Honest question. Is he not bright? Does he just love poking the NBA bear? Is he surrounded by idiot people that influence him. I hate to say the "shut up and dribble", but seems like he wants a certain image more than he wants the NBA mega star image. I don't follow him or the NBA closely. What's his actual deal?

He certainly seems to invite controversy.

That guy does some ill advised things sometimes.

But he is an exciting player to watch.

I watched him play at Murray State and knew he was going to be special in the NBA.

People compare him to Iverson. I think he’s better than Iverson. But it’s a good comparison on the court.

Just fearless. He’s every bit the freak of nature that Zion is. 👍
He definitely has the same influence on todays kid like AI had when I was growing up .

His new celebration is the new hot thing in AAU.

I don’t know if I would take him over AI. No telling what AI could do in this era with a lot more spacing .

Getting beat by 50 in a playoff game should get your franchise sent to the gleague.

I wouldn't mind OKC winning it all.

Anyone but Boston.

Lakers suck and wish Lebron would retire so they can try to compete for titled again.

He badly wants people to think he grew up in the projects, that every day was a fight for survival, and leaving that dangerous life behind is still a struggle. When in truth, he grew up in a normal, middle-class household in a safe neighborhood. I guess he's got to play into the character considering he lives in Memphis. But he's a phony. Helluva player though.

Houstons offense is so putrid..
I thought Jimmy Butler was almost washed but Golden State's came alive since that trade. Houston's young too. Probably a year away from a decent playoff run.

Meanwhile they let Draymond push players all over the court .

I won't go as far as to say the NBA has it out for Houston or anything. But it's also clear that the NBA would LOVE a Curry/LeBron 2nd round, and it shows tonight. Meanwhile Houston has no household names, they're young, and kind of dumb at times.. so i don't suspect us to win any foul/free throw battle.

Without looking, I'm pretty sure Curry is 0/2 on 2pointers.. and like 4/6 on 3pointers.. nothing new here. The most one-dimensional star I've ever seen.

Rockets too young for this moment. We also need a PG ASAP. Van Vleet just isnt the answer in my eyes.
