Can someone explain to me how there are 9 teams with a worse record than this Suns team that missed Booker for an entire month?? I guess everyone is doing their best to tank before the draft rules change.

Detroit Pistons player Avery Bradley entered into a confidentiality agreement with a reality star who accused him of sexual assault earlier this year — and at one point, negotiations got as high as $400k, TMZ Sports has learned.
Here’s what we know … the allegation stems from an incident on May 23 in Cleveland, Ohio. The woman involved claimed Bradley sexually assaulted her while she was passed out drunk.
Bradley was a member of the Boston Celtics at the time of the incident. The Celtics were in Cleveland to play the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals.
After the incident, the woman contacted Bradley and accused him of assaulting her. The two sides came together to work out a deal to keep her quiet and prevent her from releasing any video, photos or audio.

This mess will hit sports. One of the biggest money / fame / power dynamics there is. Surprised more hasn't come out honestly.
I didn't mind it. Those guys are entertaining. Between guffaws, they were actually having an interesting chat about the value of playing fast, Tom Thibodeau's minutes management, and the tradeoffs of having your biggest players – and best rebounders – shoot so many 3s.http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/21906021/zach-lowe-10-things-like-including-warriors-thunder-nba
My only wish: that during their lamentations over the (alleged) death of the post-up, one of them would mention how shifting illegal defense rules have made posting up so much harder than it was when they played. At one point, they reminisced about how Houston's championship teams used Hakeem Olajuwon's post game to draw double-teams, and manufacture inside-out 3s – the "right kind" of 3s, in their view.
That was the perfect jumping-off point for a discussion about how rule changes unlocked better ways to defend the post! Defenses in the 1990s had to trap hard. Illegal defense rules (mostly) prohibited players from lurking in no-man's land to deny entry passes, swipe at the ball, or clutter those inside-out passing lanes Olajuwon exploited. Help defenders can do all of that today.
Every step of executing a post-up is harder now. There are few people alive more qualified than Barkley and O'Neal to discuss that. I wish they would.
To be fair, offensive three seconds is fucking retarded given current defensive rules. With the way help defense works, getting strong post position, getting a proper pass over the help man, and executing a high efficiency shot all within 3 seconds? It's blatantly unfair. Needs to be increased to 6 seconds.

lebron be taking like 50 million steps tho. of course nba refs suck if you're gonna judge it on shit you have to zoom in and/or slow down to see.
Still confused how folks expect 2-3 people to spot everything. If you want better officiating demand more eyes on the floor.

Maybe that's why it takes about 5-6 seconds in the paint to actually get the call. lol
By reilo Go To PostIt's so cold that I refuse to walk further than a block out. Shit is dumb.Dude you live in the Pacific Northwest. You can't handle cold?
By The Frankman Go To PostDude you live in the Pacific Northwest. You can't handle cold?PNW in the cities doesn't get sustained midwest or east coast cold. Snow is surprising.
By DY_nasty Go To Postyal ain't even tanking thoughIt's just weird because the general perception still feels like we are the worst team in the league and I look at the standings like hold up here how are the grizzlies and mavs this bad?
Bradley catching a case is the biggest #metoo surprise of the year. You'd have to be seriously heated to pay all that hush money and still have it leak out.
Dwight is probably the biggest sufferer under the current defensive rules. His numbers superficially aren't that much worse than his career averages, but his efficiency is in the toilet. Highest usg% since his last year in Orlando. Phaze is right, even a offensive 4 or 5 second count would really help non-stretch bigs get back in fashion. Unless you're being spoon fed alley-oops like DAJ or Capela there's really no other place for them.

I can't help but think Dwight is about to catch nuclear-level grief from some highschool girl.

This shit is funny to me.
The team shoots like shit, cant hit a free throw to save their lives, play poor defense, get a lead, then ultimately blow it repeatedly, therefore it's time for a heart to heart and airing of grievances.

By Kabro Go To PostCook up some alligator tail from your backyard.Too much meat for me to eat in a few meals and I don't have a freezer for the rest. I'm a shameful swamp person.
By blackace Go To Postpeople just assume close to Canada means cold afYup. Also the cities are tempered by rivers, ocean and less elevation. It's when you go towards the Cascades to the east or the other mountain range towards the coast that the temps really drop off.

Hope he isn't pressuring himself to rush back because this team is trash without him.

Although I scarfed up earlier and walked all of the memorials so that was a good walk lol
