So, look....

If this boxing shit isn't fixed, Anderson Silva is just beyond cooked.

* he's like 20 years older than Paul *

The score cards were ridiculous.

It was way closer.

But, Paul won.

He really fucked Silva up in the 8th round.

Of course Nate and Nick Diaz are here.

Of course they slapped someone.

I really hate Jake Paul....lol

Anderson Silva is beyond cooked. He's old and washed up. But also, its pretty difficult for MMA fighters to transition to boxing. It's such a specialized skill. So Paul, while not being among the top boxers, actually has the advantage since he trains every day for years now at it over someone like Silva, who is old and spent all his career doing something else. The Pauls are actually pretty smart. They're infinitely hateable so you want to tune in to see their ass beat, but they wisely pick opponents they can actually beat.

If he was talented he wouldn’t have been cut for this

Probably right.

Kobe raped but people act like he's a saint.

Ben Roethlisberger still gets shit for it on reddit and elsewhere.

So I guess it depends who you are.

And this guy isn't even raping, he's flashing his junk only i guess?? The "me too" movement would be all over him if he was a well known player though, so he may have still been released.

who had the Lakers as the last team in the league to get a win?

@dtgold88 @Shanemansj13 and anyone else...

what do you guys think the plan is with Kevin Love long and short term?

he has a 30 million dollar expiring contract that could be interesting to bring in some other guys.....but he seems important to the team and is a very good shooter/rebounder/passer off the bench. Most importantly he seems to be a good veteran leader which they need.

Would you trade him to get a long term SF if possible? keep him and resign him? try and just let him go- and have Dean Wade replace him? I do think they are grooming Wade to take over the stretch 4 role off the bench.

They’re geniuses when it comes to promoting.

They’ll never actually get a top pro boxer in the ring because Paul would get KOd real quick.

Paul is never going to lose a boxing match, until he books a rematch and make TWICE as much money with the PPV sales.

GENIUS!

I mean what can you get for him? I don’t think that would outweigh what he means to this team. Keep him and sign him to a short term deal next year at a discount obviously

The Pacers beat the Nets.

Wow.

After last nights loss to the Thunder, Luka Doncic called Lu Dort a top 3 in the league defender.

Wow.

Yeah then supposedly they had a players only meeting. Maybe they talked about how many more losses will get rid of Mash.

Mitchell sure is playing really well but there will be a definite adjustment when Garland returns.

How they play together will be interesting.

He's a really good player......the Thunder will be a factor in the West in a few years. And for a long time.

Your team has a really good core and a shit ton of picks to either trade for a player or 2 or to add some depth or a combo of both.....LOL.

People before the season: "The Lakers can't be worse than last season."

The Lakers: "Hold our beers."

If he was talented he wouldn’t have been cut for this

If he wasn't talented the rebuilding Spurs wouldn't have just picked up his option. The kid is 19, he'll be back in the league soon enough. If Watson got less than a year, what is this kid going to get?

Yawn. We're really talking about a season in October.
