Everclear only today?

Same as water as far as I am concerned

 

[DJ Fieri]

Sure what are you thinking

The Lakers will win.

Gonna have some chicken and veggies for dinner tonight.

That is still bad sporting behavior though.

From the first league I was ever in, you always lined up after the game and shook hands with the other team.

Because sports can be hostile at times, and it is just a game with real people involved.

Those old school rivalries where teams hated each other is unhealthy IMO.

Meh, I disagree.

I'm all for kids lining up and doing the "good game" thing after games because they are still learning the game, learning about being good sports, etc.

For adults, I don't really worry or care if they do....even less so when it's adults making millions of dollars.

In the rec leagues I used to play in, a player might say "good game" to another player if they knew them or had a good matchup against each other...but mainly we'd just head to whatever sports bar we were going to.

Another tiny stat chart just for you. Pull out your bifocals @fightinfunbags

I’ve got a better shot with this one. There aren’t 350 heads overlapping each other.

I think you need some drama to spice it up though. If everyone was always professional and respectful and no one said or did anything weird it would be pretty boring. We love the Larry Bird trash talking opponent hating stories don't we?

Shit is like crack for my soul.

Where do they learn to be good sports if their heroes who got paid millions aren’t setting that example?

Parents, peers, coaches. As Charles Barkley famously said "I am not a role model"

But that isn’t how it works and you know it.

Actions from NBA heroes are worth 1000 words from adults in the kids’ lives.

Again, an all professional drama-free league is BORING

The same place most of the rest of us did. Our parents and youth league coaches.

You are too good for this world.

Im not even trolling.

Greatness

 

[Shanemansj13]

Figured after he got hurt in the 2H. Playing with house money tonight

 

[fightinfunbags]

Disgusting 1Q defense for the Sixers again.

Disgusting 1Q defense for the Sixers again.

Portland shooting 66.7% from the field and 66.7% from 3. Bwahahaha!

 

[thunderc]

So I guess KD is out for at least 3 weeks, man this guy is snake bit

 

[fightinfunbags]

Sixers are lucky to be only down 15. If you’re only going to play one half of basketball and win a game, Portland is the type of team you can do it against. They’re not gonna continue to shoot 62% and 58% from 3

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

The Lakers need to sign a big to take some of the minutes from AD now that big Mo is out for a month.

Where Boogie at?
