that he doesn't like him or he turned down the chance to show how smart he thinks he is.

I kid, I kid.

Well,

Considering he is asking for fantasy baseball advice on an NBA message board and I actually used to blog for 2 fantasy baseball sites, it is his loss.

The MLB reference is because you don't get games played only matters when it comes to counting stats. Like HRs, runs, RBI, etc. There really are no counting stats in the NBA that anyone cares about unless we are talking career records which have nothing to do with a guy's contract.

Really nothing you can say that would change what I already know....you are irrational, emotional and lack the ability to admit you can be clueless on a topic like you are here.

You need some tissues.

1. Wipe the tears from your eyes.

2. Wipe your ass, cause you’re full of shit.

Stats matter in every sport and in every negotiation.
Naive to think different.

Please tell us why some players make so much more then others in every sport.

I would give you advice, but I don’t like you.

i wouldnt respect the advice if you did...even though you coach children. lol

Do you just not get what a counting stat is as opposed to per game averages? Have always said when you are stumped just ask. I'm here to help.

Very doubtful the guy is thinking about his contract 1 and especially 2 years from FA and how missing some games will hurt his stats.

But you be you.

 

[tlance]

just as I said.

You kid,

But you insert yourself into a conversation that has nothing to do with you in a manner designed to stir shit up.

Dude is asking for advice in the wrong forum and the people here who actually could help him won’t because he is such an ass.

That is the point.

If you aren't willing to help, it would seem the convo had nothing to do with you either, but you still tried to stir things up.

Oh, the irony.

and I nailed it.......you couldn't help but to get it in there how smart you think you are.

all that said it was just a joke......lighten up Francis.

How smart I think I am?

I have a lot of experience. And I happen to be very good at fantasy sports.

But go on and do you.

But you be you.

The more games you play, the stats become truer.

Plus, its moronic to think players are only concerned about contract years.

Sorry to say, im not sure anyone here needs your help. I know I dont.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson will miss at least two weeks because of his latest ankle injury, according to Jason Lloyd of the Athletic.

The team had previously announced he would "miss multiple games," but his timeline was unclear after spraining his ankle in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Thompson is in the midst of arguably the worst year of his career, averaging 6.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

Meanwhile, his struggles on the court have only been part of the problem. His durability had been a major strength since joining the NBA, missing only four regular-season games over the past five seasons. Unfortunately, injuries have kept him on the sidelines throughout the 2017-18 season.


Tristan Thompson will not play for the Canadian national team in the FIBA World Cup this summer, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
He has usually been a big part of the Canadian squad, so this is a surprise. Thompson was not able to stay on the floor this season with only a career-low 43 games played with his worst FG% since 2013-14. The Cavs are going through a rebuild and Thompson is on an expiring deal, so perhaps that could be part of the reasoning here.

Lets continue to think none of this matters because he put up some decent stats when teams made him the least focal point on James’ teams.

Tlance is the best fantasy player i know

Well team USA just beat Spain

ESPN is shaking up their NBA Countdown show again. Rachel Nichols and Maria Taylor will share hosting duties, Beadle is out. Rose stays. Billups is out but will call games. Pierce is uncertain (I really hope he's out. He's trash).

There's also been some reports out there that Turner is trying to lure away Stan Van Gundy from ESPN to join TNT as a game analyst.

I like it. Billups fit much better as a color commentator. Let's just pray Pierce is gone.

Is this the end of Beadle at espn? She left Get Up because she couldn't bring herself to talk football and now she's gone from countdown lol

She's still under a big contract for them (like 5 mil a year.) I suppose they could do some kind of negotiated buyout like they did with Jemele Hill. My guess they might stick her on some ESPN+ show and also be one of the rotating guest hosts with Dan and Papi on Highly Questionable until her contract runs out

Do you NEED my help? No, you don't....as you don't mind being ignorant.

TT has 5 full seasons of missing next to no games that missing some in lost seasons wont hurt him well before FA.

This year? Might be a different story.

As I said....you don't need me since you choose to be ignorant....and continue to lack reading comp. Already told you now might be a different story as this is his last season before FA.

You get this was just a sprained ankle? Not even a high ankle sprain if memory serves. If he was needed he'd have played sooner.

Guy has shown already when team is in the thick of things - and playing with Lebron, which was part of this discussion - he can be an important piece.

It's funny in a discussion about who would be better with Lebron you try to pooh pooh his success with Lebron.

Please never change.
