@shopson67 demanded the Car Fax. He hasn’t had much to say since that was posted.

Lmao

I like Reaves.

I don’t think he’s a scrub.

He isn’t a star.

But, he’s a nice little find of a rotational player.

Some of those calls were hella SUSS.

But, some were rewarding his aggression.

Tie goes to the runner, I guess?

Let the guy have his 15 mins of Linsanity.

If he doesn’t fire his agent and sign with Klutch, Lebron will have him traded by December…lol

Probably gonna be a minute because my wife is going to want to go, which means getting her brother to hang with her Mom.

Okay….please avoid spoilers.

It’s really important for this installment.

Na, it’s mainly the mafia chart that came out. Interested in your take on that.

My take is this is Linsanity 2.0.

Player has a nice little run for a very small portion of the season.

Some fans shit all over his accomplishments, others act like he’s goddamn Allen Iverson.

The truth is, he isn’t as good, nor as bad, as opposing sides are saying.

I saw him get hit in the face at least twice in that video.

I also saw him commit as many offensive fouls.

I’m not a hedge my statement kinda gal…

So, I’m going with the refs are RIDICULOUS for giving a role player the benefit of the doubt on so many 50/50 calls in the same game, if they aren’t going to give the same calls to the other team.

If they are calling it that way for both sides, so be it.

Except for Lebron trading him, great post.

He is definitely having a Linsanity moment...hopefully he can make it last longer than Jeremy Lin did.

But yeah, he's definitely a guy that no one saw coming and is doing well.

It will be interesting to see if he can maintain it.

Even though he still played well, I think the Suns started to figure him out a little. If other teams start doing it, it will be fun to see if he can adjust.

Yeah I’m taking about the foul disparity chart that was put out today. Mafia level shit been going on all year.

He’s been playing like that the whole year, whenever he gets an opportunity.

Like, let’s be serious here…

Was he supposed to start over Bev, Russ, Shroeder, Lonnie, THT as a 2nd year undrafted player?

He got his opportunity after the trades and injuries and has made the most of it.

This is great for the Lakers in the short term.

But, not so great for free agency.

The price tag just got higher.

Yes, you can match every offer.

But, shit….do you want to?

I think he can be a good rotation player.

His ceiling is 2nd , maaaaaaaaybe 1st, guard off the bench, not a starter.

To put that in perspective…

That’s Norm Powell for us.

Oh, I didn’t see that.

Let me go look.

Here ya go.

 

[Mecca]

I’ll just leave this here.

Is this real?

Lmfao

 

[Mecca]

Here ya go.

Okay….

I get them having a considerable edge over the jump shooting teams.

My squad is perimeter oriented and they have Davis to batter teams on the interior.

So, the discrepancy is understandable.

But, the Bucks with Giannis, 6ers with Embiid?

They are double and tripling them up?

Fug out here…lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Austin Reaves will never be 25 percent of what Lebron is.

That's the difference.

A simple search using only the word refs and your username brings up 3 pages worth of ref related posts. That's not including the words referees, calls or "them" when discussing the refs.

It's hilarious that you think toning it down for a few days somehow makes it like you bitching about refs hasn't been a constant theme though.

Post them. I been on SportsHoopla about 10 years now. Did you expect 1 page? You still cant do what i asked because it was all a lie

Shai listed as GTD with the abdominal strain, I don’t have a good feeling.

You guys need to just flip those picks for something. Don't be Danny Ainge.

You already have a big 3 if Chet pans out.
