@bksballer89 the Demo for NBA 2K20 kinda sucks imo...

You're getting live instead?

You're getting live instead?

yeah, the game actually looks good, but the demo was very limited. tried it yesterday and the restrictions on my player aren't as bad as they were before, but there's STILL some limitations. lol you ain't making Ben Simmons anytime soon...

imo they should just get rid of the size/weight restrictions altogether...

Wiggy arguing with tlance and Turnup.

dtgold arguing with errbody (including himself a couple of times).

You're welcome.

Me and @Bart had a nice discussion for a page or two. The disrespect for us is real. I see you Trojan.

we had a good discussion about the Russell deal.

I tried to start discussing the Jazz--- but turnup steered it towards a Shiteside discussion saying Shitesides stats are right there with Goberts lol.

Bart claims it's most people, which was depressing to me

Probably depends a great deal on where you live and how you are brought up. No hard and steadfast rule though, as some of the most bigoted people tend to be at the extremes (wealthy and poor).

 

[WiggyRuss]

Both have lifetime losing records, but the Warriors have the much easier draw due to location, court, coach, roster and recent success level. All point to more success for the Warriors beyond what the Cavs can muster.

same team that wouldnt have won shit if there plan to sign DeAndre jordan to be their center piece didnt LUCKILY not workout.

I mean cmon--- "Miles Ahead" is apparently amneestying Charlie Bell to sign DeAndre Jordan. lol.

had a great run its over. Glue factory.

Light years ahead, get it right.

Charlie Bell was amnestied before the Warriors hired Jerry West. So yeah, that was a terrible move, but it wasn't made by the same guys who the Warriors have in place now. Lacob had just bought the team at that time and Larry Riley was still the GM. And not only did the Warriors amnesty Bell, but they also waived Jeremy Lin that same year too. It was not a good year until Jerry West was hired and helped to draft Klay.

You want to talk about other bad stuff, how about the Warriors going after Dwight Howard initially. Then after he told them no, they pivoted to Andre Iguodala. That worked out extremely lucky for the Warriors.

There's no shortage of moves that would have helped attribute the Warriors to not being who they are now.

very true--- every team needs good luck on its side when you win at such a high level in a league with 30 very competitive owners

the Cavs good luck came in the form of

1. winning the Wiggins lotto from like the 8th spot/no real 2nd serious contender for Love ever emerged

2. Arison/Riley made it easy for LeBron to leave Miami

3. No real contender in the East ever presented itself.

You forgot to add #4.

4) Cavs waiving Anderson Varaejo and sending him over to spy on and sabotage the Warriors in 2016.

You guys need to retire his Jersey. Almost solely responsible for your lone championship.

Top 5 "Holy shit that was lucky" moments in the current Warriors run:

5) Warriors not signing Dwight Howard and signing Andre Iguodala instead.
4) Warriors trading their best player at the time Monta Ellis for an injury prone center Andrew Bogut.
3) Knicks lowballing Steve Kerr and forcing him out of his desired job, leading the Warriors to get him.
2) KD opting to leave OKC and joining the Warriors.
1) David Lee getting injured, paving the way for Draymond Green to start and take his place.

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Making the playoffs matters. We'll see when Cleveland finally cracks that seal again. Regardless, Wiggy said they would better the Heat for that 6 year period. That's a wins count unless there's a championship (which there won't be for either franchise, especially within those 6 year periods) IMO.

Win count won’t be within 50.
He’s hoping for lightning in a bottle and 1 long playoff run.
