Lonzo haters need to back off. Unless he gets creamed by a station wagon in December, he'll have a better rookie season than Bobby Hurley!

London is probably going to be good, even if he is slow he's got good size for a point guard and excellent vision. I think his peak is probably like good Rondo though, so the Laker fans thinking he's going to be the savior of the franchise are probably gonna be disappointed

also at the end of twolves vs pelicans the commentators called for the pelicans to foul when they were down? and then they did foul on purpose, why would they do that?

Prevent the T Wolves from holding the ball and running out the clock. Then there's the chance that the guy misses one or both of his free throws. It's an extremely common end game tactic so get used to it.

THE DEM DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON

Henchman of Santa posted:

Well his top comparison was to Jason Kidd, who was called Ason in the beginning of his career. Give him time to develop his shot from inside 25 feet.

When Kidd started his career, the illegal defense rules made it perfectly viable to play a point guard who couldn't shoot from outside. Nowadays, baby Kidd would be a huge liability on offense because teams could cheat off of him all day long.

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.

WhyteRyce posted:

I don't pretend to be well versed in LA neighborhood knowledge (other than Inglewood always up to no good) but there is a clear identity distinction between Oakland and SF even though they are separated only by a shoddily made soon to collapse bridge.


The self-driving AI will become sentient, upload their identity into the cloud, then immediately drive their owners off a cliff

That part of downtown LA was much worse than Inglewood at the time of the move, although downtown LA was a much more realistic "development" target because other than the convention center it was a lot of abandoned property, empty lots and not too many residents. Very much a right place right time.

One of the few things twitter is actually good at is being a free psuedo-wire service that breaks news first, so naturally the brain trust at ESPN is agin' it

if ESPN wanted to regulate what people see on the internet they should've been a search engine or a social media site

Uhhh if the city isn't an internationally understood symbol for American cultural excellence then why do terrorists almost exclusively attack NYC and OKC? Think about that before you go around dishonoring our fallen heroes like firefighters and ambulance workers and corrupt cops.
