Do it. I'm on my phone and its hard for me to set it up.

Done.

It's cool, I always set them up when I do them. Rarely accept an open one because often times they are one sided.

 

[Bulletz]

Done.

I don't have a good feeling but we always get up for Pitt. and we're at home. Fingers crossed. I already have an AV bet on this, so I might come in here looking real stupid Monday morning, and a 100$ light.

Big Ben isn't playing so there's that. Landry Jones is awful but I just think the Steelers win a close one.....20-16.

Wiggy never commented much on the WS thread and he's said nothing said they choked away a 3-1 lead.

Ben is officially out?

Didn't know he returned to practice. Thought the injury was serious when he got hurt.....

no

Yes he has.
Said they over achieved and it was cool that they choked the same 3-1 lead that he's ridiculed the Warriors for, for the last 4 months.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

no

My little birdie told me he's not playing.
We shall see.

Who knows but he hasn't been declared officially out yet. Questionable and probably won't get the final answer until tomorrow morning

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Still waiting for @WiggyRuss to tell us what he knows about Tyler Johnson.

He's usually playing with shitty bench players but he's shooting 52%, 15+ PPG, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 1.5 steals, 50% from downtown and 92% from the line playing just less then 30 mpg.

He could be in conversation for sixth man of the year award.

i dont know anything about tyler johnson....he is probably the least accomplished player in NBA history to get 50 million dollars.

i know he is 24- went to Fresno state- was a non prospect and kicked around on the Heats bench the last 2 years...

does anyone know more than that?

I hope that holds true.

Bulls are in a tough part of their schedule now. Starting tomorrow 9 of their next 11 are on the road including a 5 game west coast road trip

These next 11 games will tell what this team is.

Drama-free Cavaliers keeping eye on Warriors

Brad Stevens said. “From what I’ve seen them look like, and everybody is trying to figure themselves out to be the best version of themselves, but they’re way ahead of where they were the last two years, in my opinion, watching them.

"And [James] looks great. I mean, they’re really good.”

“Putting a team together no matter what is going to be difficult,” Cavs guard Kyrie Irving said. “Whether they’re superstars, All-Stars, MVPs, chemistry there, being with different guys every single day. Even though they have a culture built over there. For us it was the same. Just finding plays and finding your spaces that you feel comfortable in. Guys are in different roles. It takes a while.

Humming along at 5-0 with James averaging close to a triple-double, Irving settling in as the team’s go-to scorer, Love showing few weaknesses on either end (yes, really, he’s even defending) and a coach in Tyronn Lue who clearly commands his players’ respect, there’s little intrigue. With no more player unrest, yet no level of play so stellar that a season record like 73-9 is expected to be in play, the general consensus on the Cavaliers has been, “See you in June.”

 

[WiggyRuss]

just for the record- the Cavs were the #1 offense in the NBA once Ty Lue took over last year....nothing has changed this year.

You're awfully good at re-posting ESPN articles about the cavs.

Nobody gives a fuck though.
