NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[dtgold88]

@dtgold88 @WiggyRuss Cavs might start Lauri at the 3 tonight instead of Okoro. Even had discussions about Okoro over Sexton at the 2 per Chris Fedor

Saw that....guessing they had discussions about a number of things. Last I heard was Markk at the 3. Guess we'll see soon.

How many injuries do the Ravens have? You don't hear them making excuses....they are just winning.

you mentioned them so you tell us. On just offense for Browns it's the following...
QB - all rookie
both RBs and the FB - each RB a pro bowler
top 2 WRs - each a pro bowler
top 3 OTs - one a pro bowler, another all rookie

D only missing JOK as far as I know so they need to step up

 

[dtgold88]

Are the Ravens currently missing half their starting offense? It's just funny you boldly proclaimed the Raiders will win more games after all the injuries set in.

And if injuries aren't a legit reason for a teams poor performance explain why your Lakers didn't make the playoffs LeBron's first year in Los Angeles. Now be honest here DJ. Did all those injury have a direct impact on the Lakers that season?

He also said Raiders would have won a playoff game a while back if carr played.

Made it to Nashville...check into our apt in the AM.

healthy I think we can win with Keenum.....not go far in playoff win, and also doesn't seem like we'll be healthy anytime soon.

I honestly think Keenum can give you about 80 -90% of what Baker did.

If the rest of the roster gets healthy the Browns can still be solid.

But they need to get healthy.

Keenum is a pretty good backup.

yah- basically missing both your tackles- your best backup tackle, your QB, your 2 stud running backs and your 2 best receivers----- basically you are missing your offense.

If it was just the QB and receivers or just the lineman and RB's- then they could work around it somewhat.

what sucks is both the running game and the passing game have been gutted.

I'd say for sure he can the injured baker. Healthy Baker? Not so sure, but agree he's a solid backup.

Hearing Landry and Wills will give it a go. Still depleted but helps.

4 days later and browns fans still crying about injuries.

 

[bksballer89]

Keenum is better than Baker

QB controversy in Cleveland

or we were talking about who would be able to go tonight?

 

[dtgold88]

QB controversy in Cleveland

Yeah....and I'm sure we're also regretting giving Chubb that huge deal.

Have to say that could not have been a fun game to watch if ya didn't care who won. Guess I'm glad I did. Now need to get healthy as I don't think the team we ended that game with can beat the Steelers.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Keenum is better than Baker

Yeah that 170 yards and barely beating the Broncos makes him the best QB in 25 years!

He had a good game

 

[Shanemansj13]

QB controversy in Cleveland

RB controversy too! I’m sure they are regretting giving Chubb that deal

ughhh. I hope Ward and Landry are okay and this 10 day break gets them ready for Pittsburgh.

 

[WiggyRuss]

this was not a serious post was it?

 

[WiggyRuss]

I am having hip re-surfacing surgery tomorrow at 7 am. Talk to everyone in a few days!

 

[WiggyRuss]

Casey Keenum is a very solid backup.

he can run the offense

he wont turn the ball over often

he will make good decisions

but he cant make big plays on a consistent basis. We saw Teddy Bridgewater tonight. He is pretty similar to Keenum. The threat is just not there

everyone that saw the hail mary from Baker last week should know that Baker has a rocket arm despite his size. Baker can run. Baker can make big plays.

Keenum is a solid backup that can win you a game vs. a mediocre team.

Baker can win you playoff games and make plays and put up 40+ points when he is right.

 

[dtgold88]

ughhh. I hope Ward and Landry are okay and this 10 day break gets them ready for Pittsburgh.

Got the badly needed win and you are right.....need to get healthy over the next 10 days now.
