Bad blood between team and Neptune?

[UconnU]

So AJax gets the T for saying something to Neptune. Appeared to be extremely angry with him. Hawkins has been chirping his way the whole game. Anyone know what Neptune said or if there’s a backstory here?

 

[HooperScooper]

Jackson backed up falling backwards after hitting the 3 and backed into Neptune. I think Jackson thought Neptune was on the court. But he wasn't.

I don't know what is with you and thinking there's bad blood between folks. There is no bad blood. It's just basketball.

Wouldn’t surprise me to find out that Neptune yelled to his guy to sag off of AJax or something and Jackson took offense. I have no clue, but that seemed out of character and almost out of frustration.

Out of character???

Jackson been chirping the last 3 games constantly.

He’s got a long way to go to be talking the amount of smack he has been.

Don’t you kind of want that character on your team though? Not a whole team of them but one is a good amount.

He plays with a swagger but seems to respect the game. Yes, getting t’d up for taunting an opposing coach is out of character.

My guess is that Andre bumped someone backpeddling after the three and started chirping, not realizing who it was. Well deserved technical foul

For the Hawkins bump, Neptune was pretty much on the court. That one was nothing

Don't think there's much happening beyond that

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Relax Karen.

With a dialed back Hurley I think Neptune inherits the mantle of “most embarrassing sideline antics.”

At one point Hawkins’ momentum off a 3 carried him into the Nova bench area. He did not say a word or stare them down. Neptune was whining for a T. It was not a good look.

 

[tcf15]

There was a moment where Neptune ran into Hawkins as Hawkins was celebrating and tried to get the ref to call a tech. I laughed.

Neptune can hold this L.

Also, Whittmore is crazy overrated IMO.

Andre has a way of making it seem like that.

Jackson denied him the ball every time.

I agree Wittmore didn’t look like a top draft pick

i think whitmore's struggles in this game were a testament to our team's wing defenders more than anything.

he has been absolutely dominant in other games this season.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Whitmore is crazy talented, but he’s not playing like a lottery pick in general yet.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

I'm not even totally convinced Ajax was talking to Neptune. Neptune happened to be right there when he turned around, but I thought he was chirping the nova bench after making the bucket.

I'd have to see it from another angle to be sure.

Using that logic, is Sonogo overrated? No. Sometimes you face good defense or a good defensive game plan.

Umm, love the guy but he got a t for the exact same reason last week.

One is a number.
2½ pounds* is an amount.

* you decide the substance

Whitmore has been great in 2 of the 6 games he has played. In the last 3 games he has scored 7, 8, and 6 points. Far from dominant, but clearly has a bright future.

I'm not saying Sonogo is overrated but I haven't seen him have any impact this year.

Sometimes sarcasm is hard to pick up. This is sarcasm, though, right?

You tell me. Have you seen Sonogo do anything this season?

Sanogo isn’t projected to be a top 5 draft pick?

I mean, 25 against Bama didn’t suck. And that’s just one game. Dude averages 18 and 7.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

It was a little weird seeing the ref shove Dre then T him up

This ☝️

If you watch the clip again from the last angle they showed during the game, seems pretty clear Andre was talking BEHIND the coach and was jawing with players on the bench.

Hint... We don't have a player named Sonogo.

Yeah, him and Sampson are total no shows.
