along with half of this thread I felt the Bogut injury was a bigger deal than was generally recognized !

OKC blowing a 3-1 to them was another inkling they had it coming. There were clues

PG is fine, is obviously the best Pacer in a while but ultimately will be remembered by Pacers fans the same way Danny Granger is if he bolts for LA.

Reggie is always #1 in my heart, and #2 in NBA-related choke references right behind Latrell Sprewell.

I love this, as if he is doing anything but not signing an extension that he would be stupid to sign this offseason. He's not bolting anywhere, he's just wanting to see the front office construct a non-poo poo roster. They have to trade him, but that's not his doing.

Hell, Reggie was a California kid as well. If the years were swapped, he'd be the one bolting to LA, especially if he had this team around him instead of the good teams he mostly had.

NBA derail #4, Islay Fog from Sierra Nevada is the drat smokiest peatiest beer in the world I highly recommend it. It's basically a drat bottle of Lagavulin. Talk about your favorite smokey beers.

I like smokey food but I am not a big fan of smokey beer, or at least not when it hits a certain level. Maybe it's some mammalian part of my brain that is desperately trying to warn me to find a better water source.

People that think Hakeem is better than Robinson confuse me.

I haven't looked at any numbers but based on my memory I think Hakeem is better because he looked cooler on offense. I know Robinson was amazing but you don't see humbled stars showing up at his door. Case closed.

Hakeem was the best 90s center. He made them all look like tools when he played them.

I put money on the Cavs winning the series and hedged with with a bet on Draymond getting finals MVP. Because I'm a chronic loser, neither of these things will probably happen. Sorry guys, advance notice.

most likely scenario for me is Warriors winning, KD gets MVP even though LeBron was actually the best player with Draymond second

In what way? Hakeem has the edge in most career stats and probably a higher peak as well.

Hakeem



Robinson



Robinson put up more winshares in over 200 fewer games, had a much higher ts%, ws/48, slightly higher block %, TRB %, ast%, and whatever you'd like except for steals. Is that enough for you?
