How about we start a thread called "three degrees of Kevin Love" and we see how we can steer the convo to Kevin Love

We can start with basketball players and work our way out to obscure topics

KD & Bogut will play tonight in San Antonio.
Iggy will be out due to a dental issue.

Durant returns; Bogut to debut for Warriors

Another loss for the Raptors yesterday. I know they got a couple guys out now but I really don't think they're going far in the playoffs this year.

I'm pretty sure you were the confused one, as multiple people had to point out to you that rebounding is NOT the only, nor is it the most important aspect of defense. lol

I know you cannot help your excitement, but just hang tight.

 

[dtgold88]

Weren't you kind of arguing this way with Wamu about his take on Kevin Love vs Klay Thompson? He said something obvious and you got hung up on his word choices implying something that he obviously never meant to imply. You called that your favorite word ("gaffe").

Are you doing what Wamu did here? Maybe a bit of hypocrisy going on?

no and no

I have until 5PM to lock in my keepers for my long running fantasy baseball league

i have to keep at least 3 and as many as 8....260 budget....14 teams....

These are my choices:

Verlander: 26 (likely keeping)
Foltynewicz: 5 (likely keeping)
Trevor Bauer: 17 (likely keeping)
Will Smith: 5 (likely keeping
Jose ramirez: 23 (def. keeping)
Aaron Judge: 10 (def. keeping)
Xander Bogartes: 20 (not sure)
Corey Kluber: 41 (not sure)
Sean Doolittle: 10 (not sure)
Matt Carptner: 22 (not sure)
Joey Gallo: 10 (not likely)

......some tough decisions...

Ramirez and Judge are steals and Bauer is good value. I cant see hanging on to Kluber at that price when you have JV.

So I'd say them and the other value guys and have plenty to spend for draft

You have some really bizarre thinking so it got me wondering since I'm originally from NE Ohio but no longer live there am I allowed to root for any teams in Ohio?

boagarets for 20...really not sure on

i half way want to throw him back but a lot of ratings have him as a top 50 guy.....hes the toughest choice....20 extra buckswould be nice in the draft though

In a league and just drafted, but don't study MLB as closely as NFL and NBA so take FWIW.....Agree with the definites. I think Bauer should be a definite at that price. don't know enough about Folt or wSmith. would not keep Boegarts but like Carpenter since can be used as so many positions (and productive).

Unfortunate that he's had those injuries but it did cause him to slide to the Kings at number 20, Giles would have probably been a top 3-5 pick without them.

Most likely. He was the either the #1 or #2 recruit (behind Josh Jackson) in the 2016 class depending on which service you read and was on both the Naismith and Wooden preseason watch lists. Then came the knee surgery in October of his freshman year. He played in 26 games at Duke after the surgery, but the Kings still red-shirted him.

If you were Lebron and saw Hezonja singling up on you on the final possession, you would try to bully him to the basket too, as would every alpha in the league. Lebron came up short this time. The final shot wasn't as problematic as not stopping a 13-1 run at the end of the game sooner.

Exactly. If they stop that run earlier, they aren't in a position for anyone to have to make a game winner.

i agree--- im throwing back bogartes too and carpenter.

Ill keep Jram, Judge, Verlander, Smith and Doolittle (2 closers for 15 total is good value), and Folty....

thats a total of 96 dollars spent out of 260--- and i already have 2 stud bats, 2 closers, and 3 starting pitchers.

carpenter and bogartes are tempting- without a doubt- but throwing them back means i can go out and get an elite player like a betts or blackmon or trout or something.

I think that's your plan

This is fair, but Phillip and LA had to get rid of Shaq because he couldn't get him to play nice with Kobe.

Actually, that's not why Shaq left.
