Ok maybe the tank isn't worth it. Even if we got Simmons, I'm sure Scott would shit on him too.
Watching Stephen Curry continuously break the game of Basketball almost makes me feel better about Kobe absolutely destroying my team for his ego.
Almost.
Almost.
By pilonv1 Go To PostHappy FebFuck they did it?? right when im about to go to sleep wtf
how the fuck do you let markieff outlast Hornacek. How is he still on the fucking team

Can confirm @WojVerticalNBA's report that Jeff Hornacek has been fired by the Phoenix Suns. Hard to see how this is his fault, though.
Completely stupid, all it does is generate even more negative league perception when you could just have waited for his contract to end. Who are they even going to immediately hire? Blatt? McHale? rumors of D'antoni before. All a mess.
one of these days i'm gonna dig up all those giri quotes and smoke cigar
By Wrath2X Go To PostWatching Stephen Curry continuously break the game of Basketball almost makes me feel better about Kobe absolutely destroying my team for his ego.so many retirements coming man ;_;
Almost.
Fuck Kobe. Dude leaving is probably the best thing to happen to the Lakers in a long time. Time to rebuild again, I guess.
Yes, I was a stan and still a fan of the years where we won championships. But man I've caught a thousand feelings like a bitch over this shit.

Y'all seem to remember the Wizards Jordan years a lot differently than I. Jordan was still a good player back then, not great, but good. Pierce and Kobe would be grateful to play like Wizards Jordan today.

was just about to post that.
dude still put up 23/6/5 points and a 20 PER
not great shooting and far from elite but yeah, pretty damn good at 38
At 39 (his last season) he put up 20/6/4 on 45FG% and a 19.3 PER and played all 82 games at 37 minutes per game. Like, come on.
Jesus christ, Windhorst and McMenamin are a pure Cavs/Lebron PR machine:
In what could turn out to be a key moment in their tenures together, James, Irving and Love came to an understanding that they needed to police each other on certain matters and use their influence within the team to set a standard for accountability, sources said. That was frequently a missing component over the last season and a half, sometimes creating friction.NOBODY BELIEVES YOU
Sources told ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin that James, Irving and Love led the conversation, owning up to personal faults and using the open forum to express what they expected out of their teammates.
I do think those guys have access, but this is the price they're paying for it. You have to put this kind of stuff out there from time to time.
The problem is that as a fan, you have to know the allegiances of the various reporters to judge the credibility of their reporting.

All they constantly write about is what the Cavs and Lebron's camp wants people to believe though... They never post nor break the type of stories that AWoj does. So what's the point of writing PR spin?

So what's the point of writing PR spin?The piece they wrote after Blatt's firing didn't put the Cavs in the best possible light imo.
And Woj is notorious for writing pieces that put players/coaches/agents in a good or bad light depending on the access he's seeking.
Shams Charania @ShamsCharaniaMIA doesn't have it as bad as the Hornets when it comes to injuries, but it up there.
Miami's Tyler Johnson will undergo surgery on his left shoulder this week and likely out two-plus months, league sources tell The Vertical.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
I have no idea where people got that bullshit from. He still carried that club single handedly, despite being surrounded by scrubs.

Specifically Windhorst. He never breaks shit.
Lebron also decided to go with Lee Jenkins a non-ESPN writer when he broke he was coming back to Cleveland, so lol Windhorst.
By Wrath2X Go To PostFuck Kobe. Dude leaving is probably the best thing to happen to the Lakers in a long time. Time to rebuild again, I guess.

By vic Go To PostMIA doesn't have it as bad as the Hornets when it comes to injuries, but it up there.Shame. Hes had problems with that shoulder since complete but has been putting off surgery because he wanted to make sure he had a spot on the team. Hopefully he's back if we make the playoffs.

I thought Jordan was great. I wish Richmond had stayed and played some with him.
I'd enjoy reading a list of players at 39 with their performance.
Windhorst is pure garbage.
Dude is basically paid to stalk LeBron and tell the world how great he is even though LeBron gives negative fucks about him. Like someone pointed out earlier, he wasn't even the one that broke the story about LBJ going back to Cleveland.
