Hmm Kyrie, the best point guard in the NBA, had 31 points and 13 assists in today's game against the bucks.

31. 13. 3 1. 3-1.

The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals with the first unanimous MVP.

Despite playing at a hilariously slow pace, those Carlisle/Brown pistons teams were very modern player-wise

1. Rim protector/rebounder who can switch on everybody
2. Point guard who can make threes off the dribble and had a nice drive and kick game
3. SG who runs endlessly off screens although he shot 2's rather than 3's
4. PF who could shoot threes really well, was really long and athletic, could finish pick and rolls
5. A freakishly long small forward who could guard anyone and make shots

He far better at getting to the rim but I only count 5 bounce passes and 0 nutmegs in this whole video! He doesn't have the Manu Magic.


I couldn't watch Ball last night so I looked up the highlights, the Dunks of the Dang Night last night:
Booker on Wiltjer: https://streamable.com/omxvw

Brogdon on LeBron: https://streamable.com/l8fer
later quoted saying: "Honestly, if I looked and saw it was LeBron, I might not even have gone up. He just happened to be there."

How do you know this about maturity? Comparing some 80 year old to an 18?

Do you think he was genius enough to coach/play at once, or that he was unimportant enough that even half his attention didn't affect poo poo?

Haha, still looking at this question because it's so tough to even know where to start answering. Bill Russell's biography is basically a mythic heroes journey overcoming incredible odds as a poor black Oakland kid in Jim Crow Era America whereas Dwight Howard is a pedigreed private school jock who has trouble talking to women over the age of 19.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

George Karl has a new book coming out and evidently he shits all over Carmelo.

http://nypost.com/2016/12/22/george-karl-rips-user-carmelo-anthony-in-upcoming-book/

quote:

Carmelo was a true conundrum for me in the six years I had him. He was the best offensive player I ever coached. He was also a user of people, addicted to the spotlight and very unhappy when he had to share it.

He really lit my fuse with his low demand of himself on defense. He had no commitment to the hard, dirty work of stopping the other guy. My ideal — probably every coach's ideal — is when your best player is also your leader. But since Carmelo only played hard on one side of the ball, he made it plain he couldn't lead the Nuggets, even though he said he wanted to. Coaching him meant working around his defense and compensating for his attitude.

Yes it's not like thae trade was actually good because they got a solid starting center with a mediocre draft pick that rarely yields players of that caliber a year in advance. That team should have won multiple titles.

I don't particularly love the trade but they still very easily could have done this with slightly better injury luck

I think you mean Reborn4hdlive, but they always accepted bitcoin. Sounds like they will stop taking paypal (through the shady chinese proxie company). I hope they find some other payment processor. Kodi support rocks, because I can install Kodi on my TV and stream directly without a PS4 or anything.
