Shhh, we weren't going to tell him yet. Way to rip the band aid off.

51, 6-0, cannot go to my right nor jump all that high. But still not giving up on the dream.

Can you dunk a donut? For many years the only hops I had were in my beer. Don't even have that anymore.

 

[tlance]

He has 3 20-20 games this season, tied for 1st in the League.

You got to go beyond the stats man. Not every stat producer helps teams win.

I saw somewhere that a rival coach said that Drummond is the only guy in the league who can post 30 and 20 and have absolutely no real impact on a game.

 

[Black Adam]

You called me a "casual fan". Now that's funny. Sorry sport, but it's pathetic to root for your rival.


You think Carolina fans root for dook?

You think Bama fans root for Auburn?

You think Michigan State fans root for meeeechegan?

And it'll be a cold day in hell before an Ohio State fan roots for meeeechegan.


If you answered yes to any of those questions then you don't understand sports as well as you think. Now picking them to advance in the Tourney is different. But you didn't say that. All said was you liked that USC advanced.

Can't argue. I'll be respectful to rival fans... Well, I TRY to be, but as far as rival teams? Oh, HELL no...

I dont see how being the best rebounder in the league is no impact

If hed just consistently apply himself on D and take what he can on offense.....

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I'd rather see the Lakers repeat than the Nets win it all. You have no idea how painful it was to say this. Pardon me, gonna go puke now.

I saw that one, too. Tried to find it for someone else but couldn't. Might have been a scout, not a coach. don't recall.

Well, it wasn’t my comment.

But, I am pretty sure it means that while he has some obvious strengths, he cancels out his production with lots of mistakes.

He'll work out really well with Alex Caruso then, who's exactly the opposite: he has terrible stats but manages to impact the outcome of most of his games

 

[flyerhawk]

Yeah. I said that. It's even in the comment to which you replied. Are you just messing with me? You asked why Cavs are mediocre and I explained why.

Yeah and I was fine with the response. I'm just not sure what the Sixers have to do with it.

I don’t think it works like that...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I know. I get what you're trying to say.

But the difference for Drummond in LA is that he isn't meant to the 'the guy' that majorly impacts the game. Once the team gets healthy, the ball won't be primarily going through him, like what happened in Detroit and part in Cleveland.

 

[thunderc]

Thunder have signed Moses Brown to a 4 year deal.

 

[trojanfan12]

There are rumors that Otto Porter Jr. will be bought out and that the Lakers are expected to go after him.

Ask Wiggy. He said this about Whiteside a lot during his best years in Miami

Heat need another big badly. Precious brings very little to the table

Would you take Boogie?

 

[bksballer89]

Would you take Boogie?

Without a doubt. Precious is really bad and is only in the rotation because he's the only other big on the roster.

The guy can't set picks, can't shoot free throws, and can't finish. You need at least 2 of the 3 to be a productive backup big in this league

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I hope so. He would be perfect for the Lakers. But I also read the Magic aren't planning to release him

His name hasn't shown up a lot lately despite being released over a month ago. I think last I read the Celtics were interested in him.
