2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

if the Magic had building blocks like Isaac, and Bamba (and to a lesser extent Gordon- who is good- but I think Isaac and Bamba will/can be all star level players) id have backed the Magic then

MMA tried to extoll the virtues of Big Baby as a franchise cornerstone. lol.

Isaac and Bamba have the talent and athleticism and work ethic to be top 30 players someday.[/QOTE]

You remember him?

One of the guys who I wished had found his way here......same with El Diablo aka SD. The Spurs fan.

I like Baker too. At worst, he'll be fun to watch. At best, he'll be fun to watch and win a lot of games for the Browns.

on a serious note

the Browns have had the rookie of the week 6 times this year--- 3 different players have won it twice- Mayfield, Chubb and Ward

That happens about as often as a Whiteside assist. lol

Dorsey was the guy that drafted MAhomes and Hill and Hunt in KC but lost a power struggle with Reid

he knows what he is doing- FINALLY the Browns have someone that knows what they are doing- now Jimmy HAslem needs to just get the fuck outta the way.

yes...he was nuts--- but not as nuts as Sugar-- she took the cake for crazy. Like not even close.

only you could say a direct quote is taking out of context

i sure as hel ldidnt use the words "seriously targeting"

But you sure did twist the meaning. Direct quotes are taken out of context all the time. The fact that the Browns would even consider interviewing a 64 year old woman with no experience in team sports of any kind for their head coaching job is hilarious.

But, instead of admitting the fact that your franchise is a joke, you deflect by picking out an alternate meaning for 2 words in my comment.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Well for 1, Lebron is much bigger than him. Understandable why they would someone who is stronger than J-Rich on Bron. Secondly, you don't want your best scoring option defending the best offensive player on the opposing team for 48 minutes. It is the reason why throughout LBJ career, he would rarely guard the top player until the 2nd half or 4th quarter. I'm guessing if the game was close in the 2nd half then we would have seen J-Rich guard Bron but it was never close.

I'm sure Spo has his reasons why he went with Justice over Richardson and my guess is it would be a size/strength reason.

yah trust me- i ahve a solid idea of how good and big and strong lebron is

i also have heard all this hype of how great a defender Richardson is- so when i see him- at 25 years old- should be entering his prime- take a back seat while someone guts his team it makes me re think those claims-

and i am telling you - Whiteside is awful . He puts up the hallowest stats since Shareef Abdul Rahim.

You cant win in the NBA with a center that cant shoot and cant pass and cant guard on the outside

dude is averaging 0.5 assists per game this year. Do you know how hard that is to do?

51% from the floor is pretty awful for a center as well.

I know before the end of the year you will come around to my way of thinking on whitesdie- you already have for varying degreess of time periodically.

0.5 assists per game and 51% from the field and 59% from the FT line


give those 10 shots a game to other guys- DEFINITELY a couple more to ELlington. Go small, trade Whitesdie and never look back. The whole team will improve. Itll be like lifting a shadow off your franchise.

"seriously targeting"

please tell me if at any time you seriously thought there was even a 1% chance that Condi would be the Browns head coach.

i mean- even ignoring the FACTS that came out that she was never even considered.

but seriously, if you really though thtere was even a 1% chance- then you need to check yourself into a facility and get some help.

"seriously targeting"

hey- now is your time to explain what "seriously targeting" means- even though, from the article that I read- it never had anything NEAR that.

In fact- the ACTUAL article even admitted that she was never even seriously considered a candidate for the position.

but- hey- you chose to try and prop up a bullshit story and got called on it

if you want to clarify what "seriously targeting" meant, by all means- go for it.




it sounds like now you are trying to equivate "seriously targeting" to "thought about interviewing"

to anyone that reads or speaks the english language - i think its pretty clear that those are two VEEEERY different things. lol. but- i am sure you will try and say that "seriously targeting" and "considering interviewing" are just practically the same freaking thing.

and hell- i have no problem with them talking to someone that is a huge browns fans and was the top diplomat in the world and was one of the what? 10 chairs on the CFP committee?

sounds a lot smarte rthan thinking hiring SCott Brooks is gonna want to make Durant consider my shitty/going nowhere franchise. lol


the thing that is funny- is that if the Wiz were smart like the Cavs and acquired enough assets and enough young guys and talent - LIKE THE CAVS did to attract LeBron- just maybe Durant would have considered going to his hometown---but it Washington wasnt even TOP 3 on his list because of that franchises abject incompetence.

I think wiggy is having another meltdown...

I have done that like 3 times actually. Where were you?

They are targeting her for an interview. The word "seriously" is a way to express surprise that the Browns would think this could be a good idea. NOT to suggest she has a high probablity to get the job.

Now get off your high horse. You aren't nearly as smart as you think you are.

 

[WiggyRuss]

thats the funny thing.

If the Cavs had not made their roster attractive to LeBron to come back- he would have just kicked back and stayed in Miami.

LeBron saw- Kyrie, assets to get Love, multiple first round picks to use, guys like Waiters and Thompson, an owner willing to open up the check book.

The Wiz tried to attract Durant---- to his hometown team, planned to have cap space- got Wall, Beale- and then proceeded to shit all over themselves.

The Wiz were not even in Durants TOP 3!!!!! Boston, OKC, and of course, Golden State- were all ahead of them. Durant did not even HALF WAY consider his hometown city because of how much of a dumpster fire they were. HE wont consider them in his next free agency either....and REST be assured- if the Wizards played it like the Cavs and had assets like the Cavs had--- wed be hearing about how he might go there- instead of having to consider NY or Brooklyn- or other places that are just not historically incompetent hotbeds of smoldering shit like the Wizards.

LeBron--- Cleveland? I can make it work- Kyrie, Love, bunch of assets

Durant? Washington? go home? FUCK NO--- i had it way better in OKC than going to that shithole. Ill go ANYWHERE else-- GSW, Boston, OKC.........Brooklyn, NEw York

anywhere but my incompetent hometown team. lol.

somehow "seriously tageting" becomes "might reach out to interview"

when even that was not true

full of shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

 

[tlance]

It makes sense.

The Cavs are the worst team in the NBA and the Browns think Condoleeza Rice would be a candidate for their head coaching job.

Again, completely out of context.

I am done with you on this.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Winning record/making the playoffs

Im not sure of what they are trying to do, or why Butler isn’t on the Heat.

 

[msgkings322]

yah trolling is saying the obvious that the Heat traded a ton of their draft picks and spent a ton of their cap space on mediocre talent that maxes out as a 6th seed. oh the heresy of stating something fucking obvious.

oh God its just trolling to say that Waiters, Tyler Johnson, Olnyk and Whiteside and JJohnson are severely overpaid, and the Heat have very little to no high end talent...whats next? the sky isnt blue?

if everything goes right for the Heat they still arent better than at LEAST 5 teams in the East. AT LEAST.

sorry the truth makes you angry.

Id ten times rather have the Hornets roster- at least they have a high end talent in Kemba- or the Pistons- at least thy have Blake.

The trolling part is saying it over and over and over and over and over and over. Hoping to make @bksballer89 mad. You said it, we read it, you have a point. The next 10 times you said it we're trolling
Come on dude do better

i didnt even say they sucked--- i just said what everyone knows

i mean- what did i say that anyone else with a shred of common sense would say?

would you put the Heat over the Raptors, Celtics, Sixers, Bucks, or Pacers?

As I said- would argue that 100% healthy at their BEST that the Heat are anything but a 1st round knock out?

if the truth makes you senseitive than boo hoo- buy a box of kleenex

the Cavs suck--- say it as many times as you want- thats not gonna change the truth of the matter

moooommmyyyyyy wiggy is telling the truth about my team again!! hes saying it over and over and it makes me mad moooooomy do something! you sound like a snowflake

 

[WiggyRuss]

Im not sure of what they are trying to do, or why Butler isn’t on the Heat.

apparently because Arison refused to add 5 million dollars to the deal to help offset Olnyks contract.

big surprise you dont have Butler because Arison didnt want to pony up 5m extra.

Gilbert would have thrown in an extra 10M and drove Olnyk to the airport himself.

instead you have Ricahrdson throwing his shoes into the crowd.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Im not sure of what they are trying to do, or why Butler isn’t on the Heat.

basically Thibs was an asshole in negotiations

they had a deal done--- 1st rounder, Richardson, and Olnyk

and then the Twolves asked for 5M dollars

and then Riley lost his mind and hung up the phone

to quote Pulp Ficiton--- that was pride fucking with him...instead of biting the bullet, and taking the shit sandwich (that totally unfairly- and DEFINITELY a total scumbag move by Thibs) and ponying up the extra 5M, Riley let it get to him and blew up the deal

for 5M

I wouldnt want Butler long term anyway beause i think hes a nut case and will fall off a cliff once his athleticism starts to go--- but thats why Butler is not on the Heat

5M dollars.

"seriously targeting"

please tell me if at any time you seriously thought there was even a 1% chance that Condi would be the Browns head coach.

i mean- even ignoring the FACTS that came out that she was never even considered.

but seriously, if you really though thtere was even a 1% chance- then you need to check yourself into a facility and get some help.

I highly doubt that Dorsey was considering her for one second. But I think it is entirely possible that GREATEST OWNER IN NFL HISTORY Jimmy Haslem DOES think she is a viable choice.
