    Why do these guys insist on giving the enemy all the motivation in the world? Why can’t they let their play do the talking?

    Imes Toy Tate kept chirping last game along with several other bench dudes that got outscored by Bronny Game 3.

    you’re down 1-3 bro.

    Nah.
    Needing to show up in a single isn’t the same as being the better team.

    I think our roster is better.
    I think our coach is the other coach’s son.

    Much rather have Bari say this then, “They’re better but maybe we can get lucky”

    Honestly... it's the attitude I'd want him to have. Gotta play with confidence.

    But yeah he better not stink it up or he's gonna look pretty bad

    He’s the X factor. In his 4 playoff wins Jabari is averaging 9 points on 28% from 3 and 37% from the field.

    When he’s a non factor 7th man bench player and gets carried, we win.

    If he thinks this motivates him, great.

    Hey now, he's only 6'11" and basketball rims are really high. Like 10 feet or something!

    I'm starting to think there may be a Thompson curse. . .

    Maybe we are the team with “more potential”, but not sure if we are the better team..

    Guaranteed loss confirmed. I'm sure Bari will end up having a really bad game because the basketball gods don't like these sorts of comments. I'm not sure I want to watch the game tomorrow.

    im not worried about Bari. Whenever something bad happens to Bari, he shows up. The day after the KD files came out, bari went nuts. If it wasn't for an ill timed TO in game 3, he would have had another amazing game after saying KD needs to be KD.

    Bari will be fine, its everyone else im worried about

    exactly he’s never run from pressure and having a pretty good playoffs for a guy who gets zero plays run for him …..Him and Amen will decide if we win Game 5 ….. Alpi and Reed I’m just hoping to be passable on D
