[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I'm not Polish, lol.

Lmao

FYI….

After the tournament, I have you in 7th.

Lakers are making the playoffs and sending a top 2 seed bye bye.

 

[fightinfunbags]

They probably will put him 2nd team.

I totally get your point, and wholeheartedly agree, on that being extra shitty.

But, if they did away with positions, does he 100% make it or would he have 3 guards, Giannis and Joker?

When you remove the team record obstacle, how you gonna feel if he gets blanked for SGA, Ja etc?

Plus, are we sure Durant is disqualified for games missed?

No doubt he makes it. And Tatum then kicks a guard off. Positionless All NBA 1st team should be:
Embiid
Giannis
Joker
Luka
Tatum

But what you will see (IMO)
Joker
Tatum
Giannis
Mitchell
Luka

I just need someone to explain to me why 8 Joker assists are more valuable than 14 CP3 assists. All these things are is somebody taking stats and weighting them according to their priorities and values and then using it to create another stat. These people who do it not only aren’t basketball people, they’re not even sports people. Then you have the media who takes them like they’re gospel and it’s just ridiculous.

No clue, my guy.

Again: Like the last 2 years, I have it Embiid.

Before he decided to join the crips, I had Ja over Mitchell.

I’m still sticking to Giannis, best two way player in the world (debatable) and best record in the league (not debatable).

You sure?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

You sure?

I was gonna make a sausage joke.

* see dick

But, held back.

Maybe he’s a Jimmy Dean, Oscar Meyer kinda guy?

Fair. I just think Mitchell has really taken a step forward this year. But we agree that Ja has probably worn out that good will right? This last one is the straw that broke the camel’s back but he’s been acting shady for some time now. He and his dad with their bull shit at games going back to playoffs like 2 years ago and stuff, Shannon Sharpe this year, the story about the 17 year old kid he punked this summer, etc…

Oh, shady ass shit.

You know it’s bad when your franchise players friend has been banned from the home arena for a year BEFORE all this shit happened.

Say what you want about Lavar Ball.

No way would this shit happen on his watch.

Knicks fans can't be happy seeing what Spida's doing in Cleveland this season. A Brunson/Mitchell backcourt would have been pretty damn good.

Agreed.

I also think James Harden ends up on 2nd team with JA. 2nd team Sixers haha.

I mean, Knicks are having a great year.

But, yeah….

Still think they land the next disgruntled star.

Beal, Lavine etc

Unless Presti decides to go Yolo, who can outbid them?

Wasn't Dolan the reason the Knicks didn't trade for Spida?

As far as who could outbid them not sure as I don't follow how much money a team has to spend.

Come home Jimmy!

Bad Jimmy about to appear

Nothing like reaching your life's goals and deciding joining a gang is a good idea.

Multi million dollar athletes aren't usually their target audience.

 

[trojanfan12]

Ps. Broski

No pts for being close.

* see both Clippers 1 pt losses last week.



They lost.

Doesnt matter if it was by 4 pts or 40.

Me personally, I rather get blown out as opposed to losing by 1.

Shit was brutal….both times.

Yeah, I agree. You can just write off getting blown out as just a bad game, or the other team just having one of those games where they can't miss.

But a 1 point loss has you analyzing and "what if'ing" every damn play. lol

They are now.

They extort the fuck out of these guys.

Started with the music industry, Chris Brown, Tekashi 69.

Now they have a new lucrative money source in athletes.

Its so fucking stupid too.

I grew up in that shit.

I moved my ass out of California to make sure my kids didn’t have to go thru what I did growing up.

JA grew up in the burbs, in a two parent household.

Somehow, he thinks that’s something to be ashamed of?

Fucking moron.

I forget who it was, maybe Michael Irvin, whose son wanted to bea rapper and was trying to do some kibnd of gangsta rap and he told his son..."Fool, what are you talking about? You went to a private school." lol

Takashi is a full blown moron of the highest order.

But yea...Ja is being absolutely ridiculous.
