NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Wamu]

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.

I'm one of those rare Browns fans that doesn't hate the Ravens or Steelers.

After how those mutha fuckers the Irsay's moved the Colts outta town no city deserved a team more than Baltimore. I just didn't like Modell.

I understand your consistency concerns. For you and other Ravens fans hope they figure it out. As a Browns fan I hope they don't.

The AFCn should be very interesting this year.

What the hell is going on at Oklahoma?

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.

My 600 pound life.

That's one odd comment.

Just stupid out of context stuff. Referring to the old line that learning on the job quickly is like drinking through a fire hose.

Firehose in the mouth seems dangerous.

I guess that's one way to get your 8 glasses of water a day real fast.

I have exactly one concern about Brent Venables and that’s all. He may be too good of a person for this job.

LOL.

Been drinking at least 6 bottles a day.

Another Brent Venables quote today. “To be tough you have to practice tough”. Love it, that was not the case with the last coach.

Last coach was smart enough to not put firehoses in his mouth.

Sounds like he has a chub for Dabo still. I knew they had some stuff going on in the locker room but I didn’t know it was that intense

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.

he is a social justice moron. Remember when that cop shot the woman in Columbus because she had a knife and was trying to kill another person--- and he puts up the "hes next" photo.

or the guy in Wisconsin- when LeBron freaked out because the guy- who had felony warrants out for his arrest--- fought cops, was tazed, still fought the cops, ran to his car and grabbed a knife- and was shot.

What do you think would have been the result if the situation was reversed at his i-Promise school? If it was a black kid that was beaten to death by 3 white men? Do you think a hastily put together tweet a few days later is where it would have ended for LeBron?

LeBron is to incoherent to have a political philosophy.

MYself- I am firmly an independent and have leaned both left and right in my life- and voted for both parties and often split my ballot- however, lately, I find myself more as a Republican because the left is losing its collective mind. Senator Hawley interviewing the law professor the other day is just mind boggling

Emotional responses. All of them.

I addressed that.

You never answered my question. What should he have done differently? You claimed he didn’t address it, and you were wrong.

And while I agree the left has some major problems, the right is controlled by a self-serving lunatic who tried to start a civil war built around his lie to maintain power. That is far worse.

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

For where he was picked he was a home run. I agree I'm not sure he's a guy who can win big playoff games though.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Yea

Maybe If he sits a year and rehabs but I think the crash did too much damage.

I think he should use his brain and be consistent- or shut his mouth entirely.

the old Mark Twain adage that you can learn from yourself- "It is better to keep your mouth closed and for people to think you a fool then open it and remove all doubt".

In other words, eliminate the emotional responses.

I agree.

Still doesn’t make him the fool you are trying to paint him to be. Just tends to show poor judgement with social media posts on occasion.

If that is the biggest flaw in his legacy then he is doing pretty darn well.

I could only imagine if MJ came to his prime in the social media era

Lebron has done incredible considering he's the biggest athlete in the world
