LOL, get worked up by Austin poo poo talking you while he's in street clothes. So much so that you can't just clap back at him (super easy, btw), but have to lay him out.


quote:

The Rockets players were filled with a greater animus for Austin Rivers, sources told ESPN, because they insist that he had been especially belligerent from the bench in the late stages of the Clippers' victory. Out with an ankle injury and wearing a suit, Rivers was reveling in Griffin's dominant performance of 29 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Once Griffin became entangled with several Rockets, Rivers' verbiage appeared to become more aggressive.

I mean, big props to the staff member to sniff out the ambush as soon as she saw Capela. That's some A+ combat sense right there.

Say word son.
I keep picturing prison fight scenes where a group surrounds a guy, and shanks him in the back with a sharpened spoon. The group then immediately all go separate ways while the weapon is slyly passed between multiple people, in this case all the way down to the equipment manager who throws it in the nearest trash can. All while Capela distracts the guards by acting crazy and doing a silly dance..

I bet if NBA players all started calling CP3 lil Chris, he would attempt to tunnel into every locker room.

Stevie Lee posted:

The dev team that helped make Halo MCC (never fixed completely) and NBA Playgrounds (such a messed up launch they promised Switch users a free game and then stopped responding to people asking about the game) should not get more money. Saber Interactive is my least favorite game dev of all time. I've been gaming since the 80s. The way they handled all their Playgrounds mess ups on social media was bad. It also blows my mind that a Halo game was simply abandoned instead of being fixed. (To be fair on Halo multiple dev teams worked on it but Saber has the worst track record of the devs involved.)

Playgrounds can be fun but if you are on a platform that can play NBA Jam On Fire Edition, is heavily recommend that instead. The rosters are dated but the gameplay is much tighter and they had updates for a while instead of a couple then try to charge dlc prices for rookies.

I wish EA would make another NBA Jam or NBA Street.
