Fucker looks like he rolls with the Haitians.

They will chop your ass up and feed you to the crocodiles.

He ain't the Dude you snitch on.

Take the 10 games and live...lol

My only frame of reference for this is Steven Seagal in Marked for Death...

Happy Veterans Day!!!

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah it was UD

 

[Mecca]

hey def had some WEIRD fucking scenes with Ozy....thats for damn sure..lol......

I really like the show.

But, to avoid having to watch it multiple times, I have to wait until I can watch it by myself.

You have to pay attention.

I was playing cards with my kid when Ozy had his " staff" do the Dr. M accident reenactment.

So, I totally missed that they

Spoiler: were

clones

Great win last night.

Lmao @ the folks who thought the Raps were a lottery team.

It's early.

But, things look promising.

Siakam is the real deal.

the lakers 3 pt shooting has actually been garbage thus far.

 

[bksballer89]

WTF LOL @TurnUpTheHeat @Heatles84

Safe to say Winslow is in concussion protocol

 

[trojanfan12]

I wasn't sure of how good of hire he was going to be mainly bc of the transition from college to NBA...but it looks good so far. They might not win a ton of games but for the development and teaching these young kids fundamentals.

Yeah, and he may not be the coach to get them to the next level if/when they are ready to take that step. But right now, with all these kids...he seems like the right coach because he's used to dealing with this age group.

Not saying he can't be that coach. Just that he looks like the right guy for where they are now.

From a pure talent perspective...you can make a case because Kyrie is so ridiculously talented.

From an everything else perspective...not so much.

They don't have Kyrie. They have air.

 

[dtgold88]

lol

Yeah, 15. For some reason I mixed up the height of the basket with the distance the free throw line is from the basket.

Probably need more coffee.

Truth be told because I have shot it so many times I'm sure I'd make a higher % of shots from 15 than I would 10.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah if Kyrie was still on the Celtics it would have been close but as of right now the Cavs have Sexton and Zizic plus a 2020 2nd rounder from the trade and the C's have nothing...so Cavs easily win it. But shorter term just looking at players not drafted, the C's won it.

Pretty sure if the Cs were told they'd never even make an ECF with Kyrie on the roster and he'd leave they don't make the deal.

from other deals for the guys we received we also have Clarkson and Nance.

 

[dtgold88]

also it just depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go right?

wasnt burks sent to houston in the knight deal that brought back knight and a first rounder? and didnt they get burks from trading crowder who came over in the kyrie deal?

also received Clarkson and Nance as well as Hill (though also had to give up Frye and Shump).

Hill used to get pick used on Porter.

Cs have nothing.

I got a Haslem story...

I went to UGA, and at a Georgia/Florida home game I was among a gaggle of Dawg fans heckling the Florida players during their pregame warm-ups...

Someone in the crowd yelled something off-color about Haslem's mom or sister or something (I can't recall)... and Haslem took a basketball and rifled it into the fan seats. Dude was pissed!

The crowd started throwing all kinds of crap at the players... cups and what-not. Billy Donovan had to run in and get Haslem and his team off the floor... they didn't come back out until just before tip off.

Good times.

 

[bksballer89]

The Knicks make me sick.

They strike out in FA, miss out on Zion, and now you want to make Fiz your fall guy because you surrounding him with a shit team?

Sources: Knicks prez angling for Fizdale firing

 

[dtgold88]

You would also need to find some way to value the extra wins, attendance, jerseys sold, etc that Kyrie brought to the Celtics during his time there, and devalue any negative impact he may have had on reaching their ultimate goals. Pretty tough to get an accurate read, but as in the case of most perceived "elite" players, if you can get them via trade, you do so. Whether or not Kyrie deserves that elite rating anymore is another discussion.

On that last point I agree. Well known here the guy was a nut roll but I doubt anyone expexted him to cause the issues he did and they might actually be better when he didn't play.

 

[bksballer89]

Since you think we don't post about the suns @The Derski , this post is for you

 

[Gman]

also received Clarkson and Nance as well as Hill (though also had to give up Frye and Shump).

Hill used to get pick used on Porter.

Cs have nothing.

Some might argue nothing is about equals to having Clarkson and Nance.

Sexton is alright, though... he's the real value that anyone could point to... although the jury is still out on his ceiling.

 

[dtgold88]

also that Kyrie was there for 2 y ears--- and missed huge parts of 1 year with injury nad missed the entire playoffs.

And they went further than they did the year he played.

My son and I love that movie.

It's complete crap trying to be a real movie. Which is why we like it. Lol

Owner's not gonna fire himself

Seems like he has more energy than most coaches in their 40s or 50s. Liked the hire then and more now...still so wish he was mid-50s.
