Bulls are tightly controlled too. Just instead of talented people in the organization they have a tightly controlled group of Gar and Paxson's friends.

Also gently caress them for not putting together something nice for his return. Kirk Hinrich got two loving video tributes.

in tribute to thibs, the bulls leaked nasty rumors about him to KC Johnson after the first quarter

So....what's with the Magic all of a sudden? They've been averaging like 120 points the last couple of weeks, which is not what I expect from that roster, much less a Vogel coached offense.

RW played alongside KD (one of the greatest scorers in NBA history) and still put up bad FG shooting numbers every year.

AIs FG shooting in Denver was bad too. In 21 combined seasons AI and RW never had one single season with an eFG% of 50% or better.

I like RW as a personality, and his effort, but I don't think he gets enough calls to make it worth his difficult drives.. I got no numbers.

One of his favorite hobbies is to stalk and harass Chandler Parsons when Parsons tries to live broadcast on Instagram/FB.

Parsons tried to do one the other day and Embiid just filled up the chat with: "Are you a virgin?"

This is incredible. Does he know Chandler Parsons at all or is he just an easy target

Apparently he became buddies with Parsons after they were both hurt at the same time. He's moved on to a new target though

Are you excited to pay $6000+ for the Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment experience:

quote:

We clamber into the car — me, my friend Craig and a Times photographer, Hilary Swift — and glide down Atlantic Avenue. It turns out that there are three Barclays Center entrances: the democratic one, for fans with normal tickets; the Calvin Klein V.I.P. one, for fans with better-than-normal tickets; and the supersecret one around the back, for players, executives, talent, higher-class V.I.P.s and us.

Gregg drives us directly into the building and onto an elevator, which by some magical means descends to a lower floor without seeming to move at all. The Nets point guard Yogi Ferrell is also riding the elevator, though he is not in his car. We are too classy to ask for his autograph.

YOGI FERRELL!

I was against the harm and the petty spitefulness (Zing just blocked Chriss on the other end) but on the replay it looked like Chriss turned around feeling contact and thought Zing had just thrown Chriss's friend Eric to the ground and was doing it out of protective wrath, which is a fine impulse.

Anyhow Tyson Chandler won the game and Melo lost it. Kyle O'Quinn's beard looks slight and feminine next to the true item :[

I think D'antoni needs to start getting jimmy harden more rest. Granted, the team looks like absolute poo poo without him facilitating, but they still need to find a way to get him another minute or so on the bench a game I think.

Tyson Chandler has been one of the dirtiest players in the league for the last ten years, and on top of that almost gets away with it completely.

Although I guess off the court he's like super nice I hear, so maybe doesn't fit the jerk definition.
