This is as dumb as I think it is right? You stop playing when you tear your ACL, of course you're going to average less minutes in games in which you tear your ACL.

If you have 5 guys that average 34 minutes a game and they tear their ACL's at 10, 30, 38, 40, and 40, minutes they'd still have less average minutes in their ACL tear games than normal.

To me the small amount of second quarter tears tells me that it's important to be warmed up but not yet fatigued. I don't understand their logic though, well maybe I do and it's awful.

0% of ACL tears occur after a player's death.

So why hasn't Wiggins signed the deal? I mean, it's a no brainer for him. Have the T-Wolves been holding out? I thought the Glen Taylor "But I need you to improve, capiche?" stuff was like 2 months ago, and that the only reason Wiggins hadn't committed was because of his agent firing weirdness.

When KD "missed an entire season" he played 27 games and 913 minutes. In comparison, Embiid's breakout season was 31 games and 786 minutes last year.

A step in the right direction. Imagine a scenario where the state lotteries were run like the NBA lottery. It'd be a disaster in many ways.

Dejan Bimble posted:

Diamond Stone has the posture of a gamer shut-in. No wonder he's a total bust and failure with injury issues and was humiliated by a very average looking woman with a rude attitude.

One of the litmus tests for being NBA ready should be the ability to defeat Peter Mansbridge in a game. Anthony Bennett couldn't do it and got verbally roasted.

The best part of the KD thing is that he was knowingly going off on a highschooler in that instagram rant.

The NBA is full of guys who have had that experience and most of them learn to own it. The best player is a serial passive aggressive insta poster. Another is a colossal square who loves golf and reps filtered water and geriatric footwear. Others are eccentric. Or Obsessed with fashion. Or are openly socio-paths. They just live their lives though and don't seemingly spend all their time trying to get people to think they're cool tough guys.

What makes KD such a uniquely fantastic wiener is that he spends his days trying to act like he doesn't give a poo poo about the haters and then gets obsessively defensive about everything. Guy could average 50 a game and he'd still be refreshing his phone after to see what some 17 year old is saying about him.

Unless. Could it be that KD's fake account is managed by Zach Lowe?

It's the agent thing. I don't know what happened there, but there was a window to sign the deal a couple months ago because of who they needed to get in a room. I think they always said if it wasn't then they'd sign it before camp.

Wiggins is under contract for next year regardless so there isn't a big hurry or anything.

Wiggins hasn't been in town the last month (or really at all this summer) either, which probably contributes to it.

I actually like Doug Collins

Though I have no idea if he's good at whatever he's gonna be asked to do.



So I assume he's bad then :smith:

Although this puts him above Gar which can't be a bad thing.
