I don't know half the stuff you just said but those jerseys are quite nice actually

trust me, you'd have to have lived where we came up to know...

"ghettos" of L.A...

42nd place and Vermont Ave. for me specifically...

shows you can get out though if you wanna bad enough...

ah well, enough reminiscencing...

 

[Black Adam]

Ah, that makes sense now.

Little white girl from Europe just learnt something!

lol, the same thing my wife learned when WE got together...

let's just say culture clash is a VERY real thing...

Yeah, it's funny how we make connections with things based on the environment we grew up in.

As soon as I looked at George, La Eme is the first thing that popped into my mind.

Sad.

But, so......

Clippers get design input from Florencia, Piru and the Rollin 60 Crips?

*Pre orders *

I'm positive George's jersey will be a sellout with the #13 on it.

#GangShit

Have to say those are a nice upgrade.

 

[dtgold88]

ok, i'll admit it. those look better...

you're STILL the Clippers, though...

I'd have just gone with something like, "those are much better than the previous ones....of course those were crap" if you wanted to go snarky.

Either worked.

what's the road version @Mecca

I grew up on the mean streets of Tustin. Warren and Greenwood Ln.

I have a feeling the Cavs could be really really good in 5 years...if everything works out

Get this wasn't serious, but IF they really end up being good I'd say it happens in 2-3 years.

If not, might never come close to the level we reached.

Lakers = under (I see them between 50-55 wins).
Celtics = over (48-53 wins).
Cavs = push (they'll be right there at like 23-27 wins).

No way lakers win 50-55 games...lol
Celtics...Who cares they will be medicore mid pack
Cavs...I see around 30 wins or so...Depends if they trade love

Of all 3 none are going to win the championship next year so the winning team is the one who gets the highest draft pick, just like last year

Who knows...but Steph didn't play in his first playoff till year 4 in the league. Then of course got to the Finals in year 6 after getting more talent around him. Sexton is in year 2 and if Garland, Porter and rookies were good picks it could be another 3-4 years...or it could be longer OR they could never make the playoffs lol (hope it isn't this last one).

I will say, I like how Sexton is improving and Garland if he can stay healthy looks like a perfect PG for what the league is evolving into...only time will tell. Size could be an issue on defense too for these small guards.

Dude, nice idea, terrible execution

It's JaVale McGOAT

 

[msgkings322]

I may have ptsd.

But, I see Curry going video game and the Warriors being much better than advertised.

I like your rookie, Poole.

He better be glad it's preseason or he would have been on Shaqtin after getting dropped by that crossover......lol

You guys have Burks too,.

Dude is a bucket, when healthy.

Hard to go video game when you're being swarmed on D every game

 

[msgkings322]

Lol

The script that they used for the the lettering is very similar to what's used in gang graffiti and tagging.

Brief lesson in Hoodology.........

The letter "M' is the 13th letter in the alphabet.

M stands for Mexican Mafia who controls virtually every Latino street gang in SoCal.

Florencia is a Mexican gang in California.

They abbreviate their name as F13.

So, George's #13 will be very popular with Latino gangbangers in Los Angeles.

I'm not sure that's what Balmer had in mind....lol

I used to chuckle at how the gangsta element adopted the White Sox ballcaps. Free money for them, by accident

True.

Klay can't get back soon enough.

But, I think Burks, D Lo can combine to make up his scoring.

It's the D that's the problem....

.....and the lack of Iggy, Durant....

Still a playoff team.

Unreal to hear Dudes like Jay Will, who I HATE on NBA Countdown already, say the Warriors won't make the playoffs.

You're talking like steph is playing with a buch of scrubs. Dlo can light you up for 2t nightly if these guard Steph how you assume
