NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[shopson67]

Still didn't get as heated as some of the old Lebroniacs vs. Kobe Kids debates. lol

...or the Shaq/Kobe divide

 

[dtgold88]

This post of yours is exactly why the off topic thread exists and why I allow political discussion in it, even though I'm technically not supposed to. Most of us here aren't fans of the PF and would rather not spend much time in it. But that doesn't mean we don't have opinions on politics and current events that we'd like to express.

It's mostly a group of regulars in the NBA forum and most of us have been posting together for a long time over multiple sites. This, imo, gives us a fairly unique ability to discuss controversial topics, even heatedly, and still all get along.

In short, it's all good. Just try not to take it too far...I hate having to ban @dtgold88

Offseason is the time to take one for the team....but if something happens with Sexton shorten the ban a bit.

Have to love all these reports from people on Watson with sources who say they know how long the suspension will be. Like the judge stops reading the briefs to tell someone who will then tell Rappaport (or Rizzo) what she is thinking so far?

with so many conflicting reports, many are either making it up or their sources lie.

To keep women in Cleveland safe maybe Watson should be neutered?

Heard last night what's her name?? will take her time deciding Watson's punishment and it won't be announced until the end of the month.

WTF, how much more time does she need to make her decision?

I'm beginning to think her intentions all along have been to wait as long as possible to announce her decision. If this is dragged past the start of TC that's just wrong.

The team needs to know before TC starts how long that scumbag will be suspended for.

This is the exact stuff Ravens fans talk about.

Speaking of the Ravens I hope at some point Ozzie Newsome gets in the HOF as a GM. He was great at his job. What was it, his very first pick as GM was HOFer J. Ogden and his final pick was L. Jackson?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Pretty funny stuff.

Does LeBron sometimes post emotional responses that he probably shouldn’t?

Yes. Without a doubt. Pretty sure he would admit to that also.

But this is incredibly disrespectful to say about a self made billionaire. Just because you don’t agree with his politics doesn’t make him “uneducated” or “dumb”.

I know very intelligent people who didn’t go to college, and I know some relatively pretty dumb ones with advanced degrees.

Level of schooling isn’t everything.

I dont know what his politics are. Most of what he does has nothing to do with politics but his own ignorance.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yep but it is wiggy at the end of day. Im sure no college educated person in the world ever misspelled a word on twitter....that only happens to those who decided not to go to college

have you ever heard lebron talk? its a flood of double negatives and worse.

The verdict is still very much out on Jackson in my opinion.

If reports are true she just got the briefs and it's not like they are just a couple pages. Her "opinion" also will not just be a page or 2. But I think we hear something next week.

Ozzie was a hell of a GM no doubt.

Pretty sure he also got Ray Lewis in his first draft in Bmore, as well......too bad he got him because of a disaster committed by the FO while he was till here.

It's hilarious that you're still pissed LeBron broke your heart for a second time when he went to Los Angeles. How many more years will you carry this grudge?

You were his biggest fan for seven years.

Then hated him for four years.

Then turned around and worshiped him for four more years.

Only to turn around and hate him again the moment he left Cleveland for a second time.

You even went as far as to say LeBron's prime passed him up the moment he got to L.A. because of all the minutes he's played. Then you foolishly said his legacy was completely ruined because he didn't get an injured Lakers teams to the playoffs his first year there.

That's legit. But he is exciting to watch. What worries me about his style of play is one big hit could change his career. He's not the biggest guy out there.

That would be great if this is all over by next week.

I just want to see a consistent offense come playoff time and we haven’t had that for a bit. I actually put a little on them at 22-1 this year just because I think they are undervalued and possibly due.

Ozzie hit a grand slam his first draft in Baltimore. Ogden at # 4 and Lewis at # 26.

Yep.....ironically that rivals our best draft in which he was a part. Clay Matthews and Ozzie. 12 and 23

BS.

He is a social justice warrior.

You even posted about some of his stances you don’t agree with. You know exactly where he lies politically.

I think we are near the end of seeing Tiger play

 

[DJ Fieri]

Jamarcus Russell was on The Pivot podcast with Ryan Clark talking about the Raiders and he was in surprisingly good shape. Figured he'd be My 60 pound life candidate by now.

LOL.

Had to look this up. But the '57 draft Jim Brown at 6 and Milt Plum at 17 turned out pretty good. HOF o-lineman Gene Hickerson (78) too.

HOFer Henry Jordan (52). Only played two years in Cleveland. Then played 11 years in Green Bay.

Fuckin' a Paul Brown knew talent.
