I think Doc said not too actually. I'll never remember where to find that article now though. 

Whichever said it, i thought it was ridiculous. I’d have loved Austin here. He’s a good quality backup.

Usually players say how they don't pay attention to the talking heads about what's being said about them.  I really hope that's NOT true.  These guys should absorb this nonsense being said about this series.  Aside from Pablo Torre and to a lesser degree Richard Jefferson on The Jump most of the other hosts feel that the Hawks still got this.  To hear some of these people talk, the fact that Shake had a big game last night shows how much trouble the Sixers are in.  Apparently Shake is the first bench player to ever come up large in a playoff run for a contender.  It's madness.  

If this is all still bitterness over The Process, they really need to get over it already.  What's so admirable about what the Nets have put together?

Are so many quality podcasts about basketball so why anyone watches any of this garbage is beyond me.

If it based off stats then yeah Ben shouldn't have won. Defensive rebounds Rudy had 10 to 5. Blocks Rudy had 1.6 to .6. only thing Ben had him in was steals 1.6 to .6.

And even if isn't stats Rudy deserves it. 

Ben has Joel behind him who is probably 2nd team all defensive team and advanced stats says is more important than Ben

well we might get a 20 point scoring game out of Ben tomorrow then. Nice!

Agreed, Ben isn't even the best defender in the league. Max contract for a really good not elite defender who can't score . He will get exposed in the playoffs again and lower his trade value even more.

If he was playing against gobert he might go for 40.... 

defense isn't about stats...but that's how they pick dpoy.

Sweet, Ben feels disrespected. Monster game coming on Friday. Sixers win is a lock now.

How can he say with a straight face he is a scorer?  In his mind, a scorer is someone who scores more than 20 points every 12-15 games.

It's an old quote that he said weeks ago.  But it serves to prove Gobert is overrated.  It's saying a non-scorer put 42 on him.  In other words,  what been was saying is that Ben is the DPOY. And as a frequent Ben hater, I have to say,  he's right.

I know when it is from.  The way he says it, he is implying that he is a scorer.  That is the joke of the quote.

So what....let Ben and Joel back up the lack of individual awards with a Championship and shut everyone the f up.  If they do then none of the bullcrap that us, the media or anyone else says will ever matter.  If they don't win, well....then they are fair game.

Exactly - Jokic is about to get swept out of the second round (maybe they win 1) - let him have his MVP.

No.  The way he says it implies that the supposed DPOY (Gobert) can't even stop a non-scorer.

Context...

We're from Philly, F'ing Philly...no one likes us we don't care, we're from Philly F'ing Philly no one likes us we don't care.

We need to find ways to piss him off and disrespect him leading into games. Clearly as fans we haven’t done a good enough job game to game of that lol.

I feel bad for Denver. There’s no way you can beat good championship teams in the playoffs with Austin rivers and campazzo starting and playing 30+ mins a night. Just shows you had bad Portland truly is on defense that they allowed them too. The significant difference from rivers and campazzo to Paul and Booker is like the size of the Grand Canyon.

Or was it that he was able to put up 40 points against a DPOY candidate and "apparently he is not a scorer"?
