Now my boy Antman gone get caught in the crossfire next time they play lol. Zion seems like a really nice guy but looks like he can get real disrespectful

Hayes needs to have the biggest punishment. Yes Wagner used a parallel hip check (as opposed to Horry’s perpendicular check on Nash in 2007), but Hayes’ head-shot literally put Wagner out for a second.

Its called justice. Justice was served. Get over it. He lived and learned a lesson. Its dangerous what he did. All he had to do was go after the ball. Instead he looked back and pushed hayes into the stands.

They were not grabbing him ,, they were shielding him … get real

Why Gobert still getting these awards? Feels like when the games matter he gets targeted

It’s crazy how much fans and media buried and made so much fun of Zion the last 12-18 months. I’m glad he reminded y’all who TF he is! He definitely laughing now and laughing best 👏👏

Exactly they shouldn’t have the right to even talk good about him at all just cut the show off

Zion’s made it to the top 15 now.

Punching someone in the back of the head is incredibly dangerous not to mention cheap… all for a hip check…

Yeah, hip checking has ended peoples careers. Tf? Its literally the dirtiest move in the nba. Especially when the guy is tiptoing the out of bounds line. Hes already sacrificing his balance to stay in bounds and then you deck him out of nowhere.

@313sportsguru Did you just say a hip check is dirtier than a punch to the back of the head? Bruh 😂
Mark Sloan
December 29, 2022 at 9:36 pm
@313sportsguru Deck him out of nowhere? Look, it is a shitty hip check play, but rabbit punches are illegal even in MMA for a reason. Get some perspective.

This was an extremely lazy take on the Pistons-Magic incident. More than one analyst pronouncing Mo Wagner’s name wrong and then saying that the Pistons didn’t need to “grab” him…when he was clearly out cold and would have fallen to the floor otherwise.

Wagner never got hit upside the head before with all his clowning. Killa hayes showed him you can get crippled playing with peoples lives like that
Damien Gabriel

So you’re saying that he deserves to get crippled because of that? Totally f’ed up thing to say bro. Coming from a magic fan, that push from now was absolutely, 110% out of line. But saying in return he needs to be paralyzed is completely out of line.

@313sportsguru based on your response sounds like I’m talking to an immature 13 year old whose brain hasn’t fully developed the concept of reason… scratch that, yours most likely stopped developing already.

@Damien Gabriel nah, im fully capable and older than you. I just dont simp my entire life to the put where i let someone hit me and just walk away like nothing happened. If its intentional, its war, no apologies

History of all the issues? I hate when people who don’t set a foot in Detroit speak on it.

These idiots don’t know how to pronounce wagner? Your job is to talk about sports smh

The only way to properly evaluate Zion is too see what he can do in the playoffs. That’s when it counts. Right now alot of teams are struggling and playing very inconsistently. Come the playoffs, it won’t be that way. I have to see the Pelicans beat say GS in a series before I can say Zion has arrived as an elite player.

With Ingram, Zion, and CJ along with all their depth I see it being possible. Won’t be easy having to guard Steph running through screens around the court.

The Pelicans are still missing Brandon Ingram. An All Star talent who is like 25 years old. Imagine how good they can be when they get everything going

I would love more fighting in the NBA. Give us some freaking heart and grit again

Can we just give Skip and Mad Dog their own show together….and then totally ignore them while they irritate each other incessantly. They’re both annoying af! Skip for his delusion and Mad Dog for his equally dumb takes and irritating voice
