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.

IT is good because he tries really hard. Any one of us could be a star NBA point guard, with sufficient Care.

I'm pretty sure people 'round here were calling IT the best late draft pick ever (up with Ginobili) when he was still on the Kings.

His defense will always be really really bad but his offense is at least twice as good as his defense is bad.

Avery is such a good pairing with him. Gosh they're both having great years

Well it was considerate for Dwane Casey to elaborate on why JV has never been allowed to play in the fourth quarter and why it'll never change

quote:

"If your big guys don't dominate, you have to go small," Casey said. "I tell Jonas [Valanciunas]: 'Oh, you want to play more? Then dominate. I don't want to see fadeaways over 6-8 guys. Get to the rim. Get every offensive rebound. If not, you're coming out.'"

Yeah getting a ton of money is pretty cool. But that all star nod, I really think he'd smile real big at that. And Mike has a very nice smile.

After his face got crunched in by CJ McCollum, I went to a game and they showed Mike on the Jumbotron in a luxury box watching the game and cheering on the Grizz. He immediately got a standing ovation and got choked up because we were all hollering for him. I also shed a thug tear. He's a cool dude.

How do you describe a thug tear? I assume it's not a tattoo, but in some sense it is more permanent?

For fucks sake, no one on this team can dominate other than Lowry and Derozan because the whole offense is 'feed them'. I mean it mostly works, but it doesn't work as well come playoffs and Casey is just not interested in getting role players going. You know how to other teams have random guys that go off for twenty points sometimes? That pretty much doesn't happen with the Raptors because there's no plan B if the Lowry and Derozan show isn't working.

People talk about the measure of a good coach being getting good performances out of your role players. Popovich is great at it. Carlisle is great at it. Casey isn't interested in it. For fucks sake.

I loved Bogut during his time in Milwaukee even though he never lived up to his draft position. He bought a couple of rows of season tickets and gave them out for free to fans as long as they would cheer for the team to keep the crowd energy up. He did this like every year he was there.

I don't see much Lillard bashing outside of the context of the pairing of him and McCollum being a total disaster defensively, which is true. The Celtics don't have that problem with IT because Avery Bradley is a very good defender

They still have that cheering section. They have try outs every year and you get free tickets to every game if you get picked. They are called Cream City Clash now.

It is best to know where they are before purchasing tickets.

It has crapshoot aspects with lots of 1v8 upsets but unless you're going back to pre-WW2 days I can't agree with this at all. We're still seen the Cup being passed around between the ruling class of elite teams these past few years to where there's been 4 different champs in the past 8 seasons with pretty loaded lineups. Which average teams do you think have won it?

What do Cleveland actually have to give in a trade? Isn't their next draft pick in like 2038?
