  1. Oh man, I have no clue. Dude was nuts though.
  2. When has he been refusing to play. Jacque Vaughan said he was out of the rotation last week.
  3. Same. Its such a cynical way to look at it now but its been proven to warrant that now. All canned responses.
  4. That's making the assumption that its players' decisions to sit. It isn't in the vast majority of cases. Most of the time its the training staff under orders from management/owners. Its just a nice thing for the owners to make it look like its "those bad, lazy, entitled players that just dont want to play" so fans can side with them when the CBA comes up.
  5. I'm more curious why the fuck she is going to Finish Line in the first place. Makes no damn sense with her son as one of the new faces of Nike.
  6. Yeah the hype about this kid is overdone. Taking established superstars, even aging ones, from a team that is built for a deep run all for the hope that he lives up to the hype and manages to stay healthy would be a tough sell for me. That doesnt even take into account the non-basketball related stuff like you mention. If GSW dumps Steph for a rookie the long term blowback on the franchise would be enormous!!
  7. Exactly why I said "in most cases" His case is an outlier, though the Clips knew this going in and still agreed to sign him.
  8. Load management, in most cases, is not player driven. Teams want fans to think that so they can side with management when the next work stoppage comes about. Just like the whole concept of making player salaries public info.
  9. Meh, I'm not only about rings but that ASG was disgusting. I dont want playoff defense or hell even reg season defense but SOME defense is too much to ask???
  10. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to have an African music revue in *double checks*.............Salt Lake City, Utah?!?!?!?!?!?
  11. I was trying to stick it out with the main broadcast for the sake of Candace Parker but fuck Reggie Miller, I'm out
  12. There is absolutely no reason this shit should be tipping at 8:30 PM on a Sunday night. If they want to start that late move everything back a day and make the game on Saturday. Between 3PM and 5PM is the sweet spot for a Sunday tip. I thought he was gonna pick Lauri there. I surely would have just for the fuck of it.
  13. If there is one thing I hate, its concerts at sporting events. The always suck
  14. yep, and the last reserve is still the last player picked. This makes me wish they never went away from East v West
  15. This is fucking bullshit. Who really give a fuck if you were the last pick of the 24 best players in the world
  16. I get what you are saying but he was having a great yr early. Like 6MOY good. Then for whatever reason to completely fall out of the rotation is rough. he hasnt played in 12 straight gms so its pretty clear they've moved on from him. Let him move on too if he still feel likes he can play and contribute. They probably would have traded him if they could have got someone to take on his salary anyway.
  17. Embiid still only avging 46 gms/yr 8+yrs into his career is pretty wild but Zion getting 200M+ while only avging 28 gms a yr is fucking nuts.
  18. True. Cuban has fucked around. Now he will find out.
  19. Its actually more that KD willfully chose to hitch himself to Kyrie. He had to know at least some of the crazy he was getting into with him and he still chose to do it. Kyrie had already burned two different teams by this time so it wasnt like KD was blindsided.
  20. Tremendous defense on that final possession.
