When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Raptors always lose game one so its not the end of the world. It is suspicious though that a team that scores so well always goes cold in the playoffs. As if the person in charge is unable to adapt to other game plans and refuses to play his good players in the right situation.

There is an announcement on PC, read the banner in top, get the extension and hit the link on the bottom. They said they'll have it fixed tomorrow, apparently league pass made a change.

So I haven't really followed the NBA much since the early 00s and I'm trying to get back into it this year. I'm semi-watching the Spurs/Griz game and the camera focused on a particular player and my first thought was "drat that guy looks old and possibly homeless...dear god that's Pau Gasol!"

I'm choosing to blame all this poo poo on Chandler Parsons and his bum chicken legs. We paid you half of a small African nation's GDP to come in and shoot the ball and your rear end stays on instagram getting cooked by CJ McCollum while a team of highly trained chimps posing as doctors poke your knee with a stick and scratch their chin with a sense of curiosity

No, it's basically the only hole in his game. He shot 30% on 3P during the season.

He shot 27.7%. He's loving terrible from 3. If he ever gets used to how long his arms are he'll be unstoppable

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/kristaps-porzingis-unhappy-phil-jackson-knicks-015636997.html


quote:

Porzingis isn’t alone. Players are privately fuming that they want no part of the organization’s summer slate of triangle offense regimen at the team’s suburban New York practice facility, league sources told The Vertical. In reality, there’s an open rebellion to the triangle – for the offense itself, and by extension, the discord and dysfunction that it’s implementation has burdened upon everyone.

It isn’t only Jackson’s laborious organizational emails about the triangle – demands of emphasis on schooling players on the reverse pivot move, or the proper passing techniques – but his increasing insistence on the coaching staff and players that the obsolete offense become fully functional for the 2017-18 season.


Derrick Rose is the only one you can trust Phil.

I keep saying year after year, if you just have John Hammond draft and have someone like Hinkie to do all the trading and signing, that team would be unstoppable.

That's basically the setup now with Justin Zanik being groomed to take over and Hammonds "retiring" to a scouting/draft role. At least that's the scuttlebutt.
