Bruno Mars beating Kendrick Lamar for Album of the Year is some straight up horseshit

Grammys have always been like this, rewarding middle of the road stuff over edgy/progressive. It is what it is.

Yep Bruno is nice and all but would have been nice to see Jay or Kendrick win one of the big awards but instead they decide to give Bruno all the major awards. Such BS. I don't get how you get album of the year for a album that was released in 2016 but ok lol

Also only 1 award went to a woman and they screwed that one up as well. Best new artist should have went to Uzi Vert or SZA. Instead they gave it to Alessia Cara who hit song "scars to your beautiful" was released in 2015 lmao.

Yeah I'm back to not watching this shit

It's tough when your school is hit with these sexual assault allegations.....mad respect for Magic coming out and saying what he said about it.

I was stunned when I saw that this morning.

Per Wojo's Twitter account:

The Pistons have made SG Avery Bradley available for trade.....he'll be a FA this summer.

OKC should made a run at him with Roberson getting hurt.

 

[Shanemansj13]

This years draft has some very nice prospects, especially big men.

Ayton, Bamba, Bagley, Jackson, Porter. Doncic is projected #1.

Is Trae Young the next Steph? He is projected to go #7. Not sure what Cleveland does with IT after this year but I wouldn’t be against getting Young or Michael Porter Jr, even after that injury.

Steve Adams 10 for 11 and 20 points, 13 rebounds, 10 offensive rebounds vs Embiid.

....and mad disrespect for Steve Ballmer if he knowingly hired a suspected rapists by giving him a job with the Clippers.

If this is true...

I'm done.

This is gonna be a good draft.

Not in this r*pe climate.

Lmfao @ that Joke of a Album of the Year.

Grammy's should be shame.

Porter would be the slam dunk number 1 if healthy, IMO.

Doubt he falls past 3 or 4. IF he does, would be a major steal.

Kings win streak is broken, but Fox scores a career high 26 points(6-6 from 3), 3 assists, and 1 block.

Would like to see a better assist total (part of a -8 plus/minus for the game), but some poor shooting performances from teammates didn't help him much (Hield, Bogdan, Zach). Surprising day from 3 for sure, good sign going forward.

This is the mock I usually trust (used to also use draftexpress, but that appears to have been bought out be ESPN and turned into insider content):

2018 Mock Draft | NBADraft.net

They've got 9 of the top 10 being freshman (other than Doncic, whom they have sliding to 6). With the teams involved, that could happen. Tough to pass on Ayton, Bagley, and Porter in the top 3, so he would be #4 at best in this scenario. Then it comes down to team preferences/needs of course. That top 7 at minimum (in whatever order) is strong. After that, I have to admit to seeing much of many of these guys (and there's a glut of Kentucky freshmen that haven't really established themselves yet).

As much as everyone been blasting that HUMBLE last year, I thought Kendrick had it for sure.

That was the biggest negative from the day, but on the positive side he also had no turnovers. And the 6-6 day got him up to 36% from 3 this season which is about league average, we'll see if he can keep that going throughout the rest of the year.
