straight up brolic posted:the most appealing feature in that league pass suite is condensed games I tried lots of different servers and massively upgraded my internet speed and Ballstreams was still tremendously unwatchable most of the season for me.

http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12587848/old-questions-surface-dallas-mavericks-point-guard-rajon-rondoquote:It's May 2011, and Boston is trailing Miami two games to none during its second-round playoff series. On the best of days, Celtics coach Doc Rivers rides Rajon Rondo hard, pushing his stubborn point guard as only a former stubborn point guard can. But this day is different. Doc is more relentless, Rondo more seething. "He was just pushing and he was just pushing and he was just pushing," Garnett recalls. Rondo glances across the room at Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal. "They saw me bubbling," Rondo remembers. "They were trying to calm me down. It was too late."

EvanTH posted:If only a caring coach had taught me hard discipline at a young age I stopped playing after sixth grade because our coach was clearly trying to get his son to the NBA. The only offense we ever practiced was everyone getting the ball to him. I don't know why that kid was even on our team, he was bad and didn't even go to our school. It destroyed my childlike love of the game for years

Isaiah Thomas scored 34 points off the bench in a win over the Celtics. Boston now has a one game lead over Miami for the eighth seed. I forgot to mention that I wasn't allowed to shoot or handle the ball despite being a six foot tall twelve year old who could score like crazy on all those tiny kids. God, gently caress that guy.

EvanTH posted:I dunno I'm seeing the Chicago Bulls are the 5th most winning franchise (by Win/Loss%) since 1955 overall, 5th most by the same metric during the 3p era, 10th out of 27th from '55 to '91 That's probably skewed by the gaudy W/L records of the 90s teams. Their last title was seventeen years ago, I think it's officially okay for Bulls fans to be able to be disappointed over their team not being a real contender. By that same logic, it's really petty when those same fans complain about how bad the Bulls were in like the 70s. Really angsty fans who act like nothing ever good has or ever will happen to the Bulls are also fair game, you big crybabies! e: I didn't see your edit while I was replying, but my serious post to your joke post still stands.

I was hanging out with this dude awhile back who is Rondo's second cousin or something. He told me he's only met Rondo once, at a Nike event he was working a few years ago, and mentioned that they were distant relatives. Rondo's reaction was to get really mad, call him a liar, and tell him he couldn't have any money. Rondo is a hilarious weirdo and I love him.

What was the MLB deal(s?) that were broken by a guy online named assman? And why does my phone think assman is a proper noun?Rick posted:The only reason I don't discount them completely is that sometimes there's a "Dwight Howard told me he's joining the Lakers, the deal's done, they're waiting because the league wants them to, and took a picture with me wearing a Lakers hat in June, here's the picture" story that turns out to be right even when the media is reporting turmoil and doubt in the trade process. Since then I've decided to at least keep an eye on the tangential stuff, even if it's wrong 99% of the time. It's probably not true that Anta already has sweatshops stitching Rondo's Lakers merch already. But it's kind of a fun story to read. The KG to Boston trade was broken by a guy in the RealGM forums days before the national media started picking up on it. He was friends with Al Jefferson or something.

I'm going to be in Boston in a few weeks and I'm really hoping they make the playoffs and that everything lines up so I can go to a game. Dan Dickau was the starting point guard the last time I went to a Celtics home game.

Evan Turner can be really frustrating to watch. He's clearly very talented and has generally played well for the Celtics this season, but he has a bunch of possessions every game where his eyes glaze over and he's the only guy who touches the ball for some reason. He'll make all kinds of stupid turnovers and force up terrible shots, then you'll look at the box score after the game and see he had a triple double.Salvor_Hardin posted:What are peoples' thoughts on Evan Turner this offseason? I think he has done a solid job on the Celtics and would not be upset if he resigned with them but he might be worth the MLE to a contending team. He signed a two year deal with Boston. Is the second year a player option or something? Inside Outside fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Apr 12, 2015 |

The fact that the NBA straight up wouldn't allow the Pelicans to use black primary jerseys makes me think this is an early design that won't ever be worn in a game.

HOTLANTA MAN posted:Hawks didn't look nearly as dominant as I thought they would against an awful Nets team but I'm willing to chalk it up to the starting five not seeing extended time for three weeks. Don't forget that the eighth seed Hawks pushed the eventual champion Celtics to seven games in 2008. No need for alarm just yet.

MourningView posted:I still think Crowder is pretty whatever. Like he's fine but he's not anything more than a generic end of the bench dude without a real position. Doesn't seem like a big coup. Brad Stevens has gotten a lot of value out of him, but yeah, he's not much more than a minor role player. More basketball players need huge dreads though, it's unfair that all the pro athletes with huge dreads have them hidden beneath helmets.

xbilkis posted:Mark Jackson also refused to take the "traditional" path to becoming a head coach by working as an assistant first (or coaching at any level at all), which maybe isn't that strange now but at the time was much more atypical. Don't forget the story that Golden State's scouting department gave up and stopped putting game film onto Mark Jackson's computer because he literally would not watch it.
