Thoughts on Moses Brown?

I've only actually watched him play once before yesterday.

It was when he was with OKC and he lit the Clippers up.

He seemed a bit more graceful yesterday.

But, the competition was lacking.

I think we need another 5.

Also: I love fake Lamelo Ball, Preston.

If his shot starts falling, he's got a chance.

Really good passer already.

I've never understood why he didn't get more run. Especially in Dallas when their front court was trash.

When he's gotten a chance he's done pretty well.

Dude can rebound and get some garbage, not a guy you can run any plays for. He’s pretty limited, but he can make free throws when fouled as I recall. Not much upside, just a serviceable backup right now. He is young though.

You people have some weird shit


Merit is bigotry


That adds up

Yours is just as weird:

Women automatically have less merit than men

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I will say Taylor made the situation pretty awkward by not even speaking to Nichols on it.

She was rightly upset but you have to consider the massive violation of privacy there.

And then to find out she later asked to make as much as Steven A. Lol come on girl.

Hopefully she continues to do well on NBC. She's killing it otherwise.

It was petulant.

Be a fucking adult.

It's not like she called her the N-word.

She didn't insult her at all.

People aggregated her statement to come up with a false narrative.

She said ESPN had a shitty record with Diversity and she had to fight thru it as well.

Her point was don't give a woman opportunities by displacing another.

She never said Maria wasn't qualified.

Just that the spot they wanted to give her was already occupied.

Nice try


Wrong again


Woke liberals are weird


Try being based and then get back to me

To use one of your phrases, truth hurts I know.

Woke liberals can get pretty weird, it's not 'woke' to think women can do things as well as men.

I'll let you know when I'm based. Won't change your political lunacy.

Yep. At least say your peace. Not even speaking to her is ridiculous.

But like I said I think you kinda see what you are dealing with when she asked for Steven A money. No one can say she doesn't have confidence. I will grant her that

Both extremes are wack jobs.

I consider myself a centrist.

My pro- abortion for r*pe, life or death scenarios, pro-death penalty, anti-assault rifle, welfare, mass illegal immigration stances put me at odds with both parties.

But, I just do me.

I refuse to engage in the cult-like behavior of this political climate.

@The Q should appreciate this reference....

She pulled a Chyna from WWE who demanded to be paid Stone Cold and the Rock money.... Lol

Bitch please.

He showed flashes when forced into action but overall he's a JAG, I think. Still young but if he's someone you have to count on I'd be concerned. Then again, Hartenstein worked out after coming from here, so........?

He looked good last night.

But, they were basically playing a mid-tier rec league team.

Dude can rebound and get some garbage, not a guy you can run any plays for. He’s pretty limited, but he can make free throws when fouled as I recall. Not much upside, just a serviceable backup right now. He is young though.

I'm nervous about him being the only true center outside of Zubac.

Would have preferred Whiteside.

But, maybe he will change my mind when we play the Blazers.

Lets see if he can do anything against Nurk.

I know the Clippers plan to go small a lot.

But, they should still have a fallback.

I love Diabate.

But, he's too light in the ass and is going to average a foul a minute... Lol

Bitch please.

She wants to be on the Robin Roberts level and that is admirable. But she was trying to jump to a level she wasn't on.

Espn offered her to be one of their highest paid and she still turned it down. That's wild.

NBC NFL is a big spot but I think she made a big mistake. ESPN has waaaaaay more content.

I don't see much problem with her asking for Stephen A money. You ain't getting what you don't ask for. Make them tell you no.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I don't see much problem with her asking for Stephen A money. You ain't getting what you don't ask for. Make them tell you no.

Absolutely.

I also think she knew she was leaving, had another offer on the table.

So, lets ask for the fucking moon and see if they are dumb enough to pay it.

They werent....lol

Eh

Yes and no. Had she started there...sure. but she held firm. That is what makes it ridiculous.

They offered her just shy of what Greenberg makes. That dude has been a fixture for 25 years. She was in junior high when the dude started there. They made her a very fair offer and she bolted.

Dumb move imo.

Robin Roberts and Linda Cohn were fantastic ESPN anchors.

Absolutely. Legends both of them. Especially Roberts

You think Robin told ESPN to give her the Oprah bag before she bolted to Good Morning America?

Because, that's similar to the move Maria tried to pull off.



TF12 is correct.

Closed mouths don't get fed.

But, Maria had to know that was not happening.

I remember when I was in High School and my Mom wanted me to look for a Summer Job.

I was opposed to this line of thinking.

They always asked for salary expectations.

IDGAF if it was Burger King.

I put $25 a hour.

I got zero calls for interviews... Lol

I just think if you're aspiring to be Roberts going with NBC is foolish. Roberts was on ESPN for a long ass time before she jumped to GMA.

I'm sure she will be all over the Olympics but what else does NBC have? Notre Dame? Baseball once a week? It would make sense if they still had the NBA but they don't.

Maybe they end up using her somewhere else idk.

Tirico doing NBC makes more sense. Dude is older and wants a lighter workload I'm sure. Which is ideal I guess but she wants bigger things. It's a weird move to me.
