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.

Presti should have traded Roberson and kept somebody else, baby Sabonis; the guy has bricks for hands, and has literally regressed on offense. He's an embarrassment if the play requires anything other than harassing the other side.


Look at me bitching after what Presti did in the offseason.

edit- of course, I only watched the embarrassing rain of 3's by Houston where they could literally not miss for 12 minutes. And the last minute. hahaha

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.

He is still really popular with the fans and has a fun play style, so he has atleast another season. Only idiots expect them to sniff the playoffs this year


So, yeah, Magic could totally fire him after this season

There are already fans turning on him on the subreddit, which isn't shocking but it is generally the canary that warns of the dumb poo poo that is going to make it to talk radio in a week or two.

Who gets a better contract next offseason, Seth Curry or Nerlens Noel?
Keep in mind this is the modern NBA and Seth has shot .425 or better from 3 the last two seasons.

I would have much rather have had the weird Darren Collison/Ramon Sessions, Rajon Rondo, Darren Collison mix they've run out each of the last three seasons, despite what's happening now.

The Kings just let Seth walk because they wanted Temple instead and wanted to roll the dice on Ty Lawson. Not a great decision but in the grand scheme of things it is barely a blip on the bad things we've done radar

I mean yes, the owner of multiple pro sports franchises is anti-labor, thats to be assumed. I don't know what puts him that much further ahead of like, Arison, or Reinsdorf, or anyone else. Playoff hilarity aside the Caps seem to have been pretty well managed under him

He's not a bad owner he's just not good at running a basketball team. They're a bastion of mediocrity and disappointment and it's killing the fan base.

occasional deeply sick passes are basically the only thing expected from him. It's his whole career. He'll be at least as good as Huertas

edit: wow Coach Nick pushed the seat geek sponsored bit into the middle of his video instead of the front or the back so it's not skippable what a gently caress. I just wanted a quick highlight vid was all. Every Teodosic highlight video is several minutes of clever passing but barely creating enough space to get over Euro defenders
