CP3's personality traits are well documented, so I don't give him much thought. I don't see any issues with other Suns players. Does anybody like Tucker or Portis?....Tucker cries about every foul and Portis is just not somebody I can form a positive opinion about....

I don't know about league wide, but among MIL fans Portis is one of the most popular players on the team. Do you not hear the "BOBBY!" chants at the home games when he's on the floor?

They both play their role extremely well on this team. Tucker can defend and Portis brings a lot of energy every night. Portis and Connaughton have given the Bucks some great games in the playoffs especially. Both have hit a lot of crucial shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause you guys decide who is dirty based on how much you like them. Here is Giannis trying to take out Booker. here he is taking out Kyrie and others and literally headbutting a player etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one player does the same thing as another player and only one gets called dirty, no wonder how one gets their reputation. Literally no one said anything about Giannis until I brought up the fact that he literally did the same thing everyone was complaining about lmao. I just showed like 8 dirty plays there (if CP3 did them at least), no history. A dude who literally headbutted another player...on purpose.

Regardless of his history the push was nothing more than an attempt to throw off a dunk attempt. Failed attempt and a foul. The end. Nothing dirty, just an act of desperation. Nothing more.

By the rules a foul that does not make an attempt at the ball in that situation is considered a flagrant foul. Giannis was attempting to block Booker's shot, albeit a weak effort. Paul was making no such attempt other than to push him away from the basket, which failed. I'm not going to say it was dirty, but it should have been called a flagrant foul.

It’s much easier to move someone and cause them to break something on the fall. Luckily Giannis is a freak of nature and Chris Paul is a weakling. Doesn’t make him any less dirty.
