“THIS IS VERY SOFT PLAYER”
Georgios Papagiannis took his father’s words to heart when he bodied up Dragan Bender near the end of the first quarter. Knowing that the player he was posting up was a very soft player, he aggressively established position, only to get into a minor scuffle with said soft player. And, like the very soft player he is, Bender just kind of stood to the side and let Marquese Chriss do most of the yapping.
I wonder if Daddy Papagiannis had any more tweets in his arsenal after his son was involved in this altercation. I tried to find his Twitter but it must be deleted or my Google-fu is broken because I couldn’t locate it. Here’s what I bet he tweeted:
“THIS IS VERY SOFT PLAYER”
“GEORGIOS IS VERY HARD PLAYER”
“I WISH GERMANY WOULD BAIL US OUT AGAIN”
“IF DRAGAN BENDER DAD READ THIS, LET US MEET SO I CAN PUNCH YOU”
I would create a novelty/parody Twitter account to tweet these things but I feel like the joke would be flat now, nine hours later. Oh well. Next time I’ll be right on it.
