You keep using that word and I'm pretty sure you have no clue what it means, lmfao.

It means the ability to speak fluently and coherently, btw, before you Google it.

I've show plenty of times that I'm an articulate being, you've showed plenty of times to be a homer/delusional/pompous/troglodyte.


I know some of those are big words for you

troglodyte = a person of prehistoric times

pompous = thinks they're self importnant

delusional = Lad, from Sportshoopla
raw



You quoted me first itt today, and you quoted me in the Curry passes to KD thread first the other day.

If anyone should face the corner it's you, and yes, I will not respond to you anymore if that's what your gotten to ass would like, considered yourself completely skimmed over, like that shitty tasting milk.
Wew, finally! I thought you'd never move on. :whoo:

Whiteside was fantastic last night. He killed the Warriors on the boards and on the interior. Dragic played really well too as well as Tyler Johnson. I give it up to Miami, they competed every second they were on the court. If the talent discrepency was anywhere close to even or even just 60/40 in the Warriors favor, Miami would have beaten the Warriors by 30 just by their effort alone.

Draymond played fantastic. Curry is back to taking his 30 footers, which is awesome. Love to see him have his swagger back. KD was good too down the stretch. The best part was that during the closing moments, the ball went back to Curry and instead of KD calling for the ball again, he went and set that screen for a P&R, which resulted in a really easy bucket. That's what Draymond was upset about KD not doing in the Memphis game. As long as the Warriors continue to get better, that's all that matters.

Also for those wondering, McCaw got the token start, but was definitely outplayed by Ian Clark off the bench. He tended to float too much and just kind of stay away from the action. In general it's easy to see why when you have KD, Draymond and Steph out there to produce offensively, but I'd like to see him be more aggressive. The most concerning part last night for me was it was the first game he truly looked like a rookie. He was hesitant and worst of all he committed so many dumb fouls on jump shooters. He got caught behind screens and ended up chasing the ball instead of working around the screens. This will be something he'll have to work on.
I think it was good experience for McCaw. A good measure of where he's at in terms of areas of development. I wonder how much of what we saw was due to nerves too. I have no doubt though with the help of the vets he'll develop nicely.

Ian Clark has improved his overall game tremendously from last season. I like his energy & his shot selection seems to have gotten better too. I think his production with that 2nd unit is much needed & important which is why coach moved McCaw into the starting line up instead of him last night.

For the most part, I do skim past your posts, you're always the one quoting me, if you look, everytime we've argued since I've joined, it's been you sticking up for the Warios (not even your favorite team, lmfao).

I don't wear panties, I wear boxer briefs, but lately I've thought about changing back to whitey tighties, I like the fit, nice and snug against my package, makes me feel like a man.
I cant do it man. Boxer briefs are where it's at. Tighty whities expose to much of my upper thighs. What if there's a fire and my pants burn off?

Yeah, Kerr said mainly McCaw started because he didn't want to throw the rest of the rotation off. Makes sense to keep Clark in his primary role off the bench at this point.

I'll admit I didn't have much hope for Clark contributing regularly at the beginning of the season. But he's impressed me because you can tell he's playing with an extreme confidence level right now. His shots are falling and more importantly he's scoring in other ways like getting to the rim and off the dribble mid range shots. He's not just simply a catch and shoot 3 point specialist anymore.

He'll still need to work on his defense, but a lot of that is mitigated when he plays with the second unit including Livingston, Iguodala and KD.

McCaw is going through the natural progression right now. I agree it was good for him to play with the first unit and understand that while he's out there, he can't just float. He needs to contribute and be a factor out there. He can't just take up space (like what a certain guy named HB used to do frequently). Also I saw that the game plan from the start was to hide him a bit on offense. The Warriors put him in the corner and ran a 3 man curl with Pachulia setting the screen and KD and Curry coming off the rub. Didn't give him much of a chance to contribute either, but I think that's more Kerr and the staff protecting him. The worst thing he could have done was to jack up numerous shots that didn't go in.

The new game show that LeBron is the excecutive producer for, is fucking awesome, only 3 episodes in and so far people have won 1.7 million, 750k, and 135k.

Show is legit and one of the fresher and better game shows I've seen in a while.

It's on NBC Tuesday nights at 8

Is weed legal in Zoo York?

Not even the Kings, nor Philly, would do something so stupid.

Derrick Rose seeking max contract?
i_a6_12_49_derrick-rose.png

And then there is the potential price tag. Some close to Rose have told friends he will seek a max contract this summer. For Rose, that pact would be for five years and nearly $150 million. The Knicks would need to use nearly all of their cap space to ink Rose to a max contract.

IF that happens...and it SHOULDN'T...PJ should be burned at the stake...
