you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Wasn't the pick supposed to for Justice Winslow, but then the Hornets picked frank

i believe it, i saw dany ainge myself driving a big truck that said "ASSETS" on it to the Glienicke Bridge ready to exchange them for the rights to draft Justise Winslow except at the last minute Jordan appeared and tough luck, i have taken Big Curd Frank before disappearing in a haze of smoke.

2) Bucks do not have a legitimate 2nd star, it's Giannis and them guys

We're almost halfway through the season and the Bucks have an SRS over 12. George Hill has a very high WS/48 also. Short of getting one of the top five or so guys in the league I don't think they should be messing with the team.


Every year the NBA ASG voting results are a great harbinger and reminder that democracy is a doomed concept.

He's well past his Shaq Fu prime. I feel like I could defeat him with double tiger head hook swords or a three-section chain whip. Maybe even box-standard nunchakus. IDK for sure.

I m mean, prime Shaq would be an MVP guy in any era but I am not sure Giannis is the right comparison.

He's kind of right in a few ways if Giannis gets really fat/big in the next few seasons.

Paul Zuvella posted:

Draymond Green took 4 shots in a game where the next best player on his team was Alec Burks lmao

Draymond Green's precipitous fall from MVP contention is an underreported story this year. All those writers should send out mea culpas on the front pages of large newspapers.

I don’t think anyone in the NBA would be able to stop Shaq in the paint. He was too massive.

Dennis Rodman was able to lower his center of gravity and then fight off Shaq like he was a man-sized ant.

Spacebump posted:

If I was a player that was on the fringe of getting voted in(or their agent), I'd pay a several grand for a Chinese click farm to vote the player in. I'd also pay off a few random lower tier media guys and players. I wonder what the punishment for getting caught would be. I don't think there are any rules against this currently.

For all the NBA players are gangsters/thug rhetoric it is disappointing that I don't recall any threatening media voters over player awards etc. Just some impotent grumbling.

You’re exaggerating a bit.


Shaq’s lowest point total against a team with Rodman on it was 17 his rookie year. He averaged 26/12 lifetime against him.

If that’s handled like an ant then Shaq is unquestionably the greatest player of all time.

Milestone alert. LBJ poised to become the fourth player to reach 2,000 FGNP soon:

code:
FGNP	Player
3368	Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
3204	Shaquille O'Neal
2651	Artis Gilmore
1978	LeBron James
1931	Dwight Howard
1865	Wilt Chamberlain
1803	Charles Barkley
1543	Reggie Miller
Joining the three greatest offensive centers in NBA/ABA history. LBJ just puts the ball through the hoop regardless of depending on the referee whistle.

FGNP = PTS - FT - FGA

I don't understand if Beilein just doesn't care or if he's a loving dipshit but how he lets the guards just play selfish rear end basketball is beyond me. Yeah Kevin is throwing a baby tantrum but he's also kinda justified when both guards are averaging like two assists a game.

Also you signed a giant extension that isn't going to be easy to move when you're over the hill, missed half a season, and now you're pouting and punching chairs. Maybe you should have not done that

Their other options are/were Jordan Clarkson, Dante Exum and Matthew Dellavedova so I'm not sure where those guard assists are coming to come from regardless

this was always the risk that the cavs were gonna run starting garland and sexton; both of them excel at creating their own shot off the dribble and neither one is a traditional pass-first point guard so by default the best playmaker in that starting lineup is probably love

Delly averaged more assists than both but he's extremely cooked and shooting like 2% from 3 so things are dire


either way send Garland and Sexton to the goddamn gleague

also start Kevin Porter Jr
