Yeah it's an almost charming like "awww" sorta insanity wrt d-rose stanning in 2018.

And of course you'd hate the splash bros g hawk, classic rockets fans letting the warriors get in their head. Spurs still haven't lost a series against golden state when Kawhi's playing. :smug:

Only time I have seen that happen. It was kinda cool.

It becomes much less sad when you look at their career earnings. Fegan was one of the less shitbaggy agents.

He got Hinkied by Ron Burkle when he, Burkle, took control of ISE; pretty sure he's still representing them because the court told the agency to gently caress off to arbitration.

The Cavaliers need AD and/or Giannis.

Rose could've injured himself in the opening minutes of a game and the members of the anti-Thibodeau cabal would still have plenty of ammunition.

What does shooting "under 50% from the field" have to do with anything though...

Individual FG% is an outdated stat. It must be annihilated.

Curry is now the supreme 3P shooter of the league:

code:

3NP	Player
1491	Stephen Curry
1490	Ray Allen
1481	Kyle Korver
1194	Reggie Miller
1116	Steve Nash
954	Klay Thompson
891	Dale Ellis
888	Peja Stojakovic
860	Mike Miller

Korver missed the title by a couple of games and will forever be #2.

What do y'all think the league is going to do to punish the franchise/Cuban for the team's unacceptable office culture? I feel like banning Cuban from the franchise for a year might at least be a decent start. Cuban being banned for Dirk's last season would be interesting.

I'd be surprised if it was something too punitive. He'd be in more hot water if he was the perpetrator.

Maybe, a lot of people do that stuff.

That was totally not a flop. Gortat (whom may I remind you is Polish, I think they have hated Georgians for centuries) picked up Zaza bodily and correctly threw him where Durant happened to be innocently waiting.

Them signing KD being bad and a step that can never be forgiven isn't so much about it "killing basketball" or making the Warriors overkill, both of which have some truth to them...
it's more that that OKC-GSW wcf was soooooo loving good and regardless of who was going to win that, every basketball fan was like "drat this is gonna be a dope rivalry for the years". and they took that away, to make a historically great already considered unstoppable team better with another top 5 player

David Stern should have risen out of his coffin in the daytime and put the kibosh to that bullshit loophole fuckery. Shame!

Durant is a bitch for going to GSW rather than WAS or BOS but he was never ever going to stay in OKC and put up with Westbrook's bullshit a day longer than he had to.

I think "KD leaving oklahoma meant less entertaining basketball" is the only acceptable argument. Anything else is sour grapes and whining. Don't worry, if they're too dominant the league will engineer a powerful rival or switch to single elimination postseason tournament. They have to create content for those billions

I've honestly never paid a ton of attention to him much before so I'll take your word.

He's a spot up shooter who can't defend his position, if he gets attacked hard on close outs sometimes he'll drive the ball but he's awful at making shots at the basket. He sets okay screens and boxes out if the coach wants him to do that. If there's enough around him and you only need a stretch 4 to give your offense room to breathe, he's just fine. Not great, not awful, just a role player with clear strengths and weaknesses

In what world does it make sense to leave a team with Westbrook for one with Wall? I get that he is from the area but Wall's teammates don't like him and he is worse than Westbrook.

Dan Fegan dying in a motorcrash hits close to home. I've slid off the highway at 55 mph(black ice, massive snowbank in the median so everyone was fine,) almost been smashed into by two delivery trucks, and had to slam my brakes more time in the last 3 days than the previous month. There's some basketball related automotive final destination thing plotting to kill someone, maybe it was Dan Fegan. Stay safe on the roads, make sure you don't converge at an angle with another vehicle that you cant see due to the size of your A pillar or anything horrible like that

That's horseshit. KD was really upset Presti fired Brooks. A friend of mine was the night manager of a frozen yoghurt shop in Edmond and after late home games, Brooks would take the guys there, they'd have frozen yoghurts, and talk about stuff. All kinds of stuff. KD really looked up to Scott Brooks like a father figure.

I was as bad as anyone itt about Brooks not knowing his X's from his O's, but he was a player's coach, I reckon he still is. That counts for a lot more in the NBA than people realize.

And KD did not like Billy Donovan.

edit because

Yeah Brooks kinda reminds me of Casey in that they have questionable x's and o's that annoy nerds like me but (anecdotally) seem to have very good relationships with their players. Which absolutely is a good skill to have that you think about less as a fan, being Scott Skiles is not a good look.

Sam Amico reports that the beef between Westbrook and Durant started when Westbrook used the same spoon to scoop from the candy bin, cereal bin, and fresh fruit bin. When Durant complained, Westbrook just stared at him while he dumped all the remaining marshmallow sauce into his cup

A source close to the locker room stated that Westbrook doesn't even like marshmallow sauce.

Durant was so incensed that he failed to write down his favorite flavor combination on the chalkboard at the front of the store
