Possible strokes after being admitted and kidney failure.
Some reports of tracks on his arms. Possible cocaine use. Possible slamming a bunch of viagra and drinking on top of it all.

Not sure how Jabari Parker managed to crack the Top 50 in ESPN's list just one spot behind someone like Favors.

RT @Cowbell_Kingdom: Rondo's comment last night was a joke. It's just that simple. Lack of follow up? Yes. But again, his comment was dry humor. Nothing else.

kemba getting nervous lowkey
Jeremy Lin has that Vegeta factor.
Rondo would do deadpan like that.
Hope Odom pulls through, recovers and manages to sign in China. Basketball seems to give him something to focus on.

I really wish Lamar wouldn't have demanded a trade after the failed CP3 deal. He's talked at length about how Phil and Kobe and Fish helped him cope when he lost his son and had other issues.
I think if he stayed through it, he would have still been focused even with Phil gone, and maybe been able to work it out with Khloe too, who's he's clearly still in love with - communicating with her and showing up randomly to see her.
I even remember Phil giving him an invite to summer camp last season for NY and a guaranteed contract opportunity if he stayed sober but he was beyond that line at the point.
Shitty shitty situation how quickly his whole life unraveled.

victor oladipo has the most to prove this year. he's been allowed to volume stuff his way to faux-relevancy but his advanced metrics are pretty bad and inspite of being a good dunker, sucks around the rim. some of this may be attributed to joke vaughn not knowing how to do anything but he's definitely got some shitty habits.
if hezonja balls out this year wouldnt be surprised if vic gets moved next summer
if hezonja balls out this year wouldnt be surprised if vic gets moved next summer
He's had solid year to year growth though--which is a really good sign for up and comers. The team definitely has some concerns with good prospects and not enough starting positions. I could see Oladipo playing the sixth man role pretty well if it comes to that.
Knew talking shit about how nba-gaf got shut down would be the end of me over there lol. what a piece of shit, didn't even get the ban message right. Proves my point of his being ignorant

Zach LaVine isn't starting tonight. I can't believe this era lasted all of three pre-season games. Damn.

By KingGondo Go To PostWhich thread did you get clipped in?The Odom thread in OT. the post is whatever, one sentence in it im pretty sure i fixed in an edit but i wouldn't be surprised if that got rolled back to make my post look dumber than the state i left it in.
wasn't even that bad, but meh. i guess he had to compensate for something
I dunno man, it's well known that open criticism of EL/moderation decisions is banworthy.
At the same time, I simply took issue with EL's tone and got permed. He's sensitive.

not to revisit the whole thing again
but i don't even remember the thread being "full of assholes" or all that hostile to newcomers
fuck da knicks
triple Ls
heat fans
were probably the only things that were made fun of, slightly. it only got hostile with that one guy(gucci or something)
edit: GAF-HOP is next though........

The NFL thread was (and is) far more hostile and territorial than Best-GAF ever was imo.
The main problem is EL being incredibly heavy-handed. He doesn't have to give a fuck about longtime communities or members because of the popularity of the site.

By PSYCH! Go To Postnot to revisit the whole thing againit could get rough sometimes in there, even i lurked for a long ass time before posting more regularly. But that was kind of the appeal in a way. people were bros enough where they shat on each other and it was alright. Which is kinda what i was getting at before when i called someone ignorant for not being aware of the community's dynamic. meh.

regardless, i had grown tired of how fast that place had grown and how the quality of its posts had seen a correlative drop as the number of members increased. Now i can lurk and not feel the urge to call people idiots on the internet as much
last, go heat, we got this, we're either taking the east or taking the entire bench with injured players. but we got this

All in good fun. The jokes about stretched white shirts are still my favorites to this day.
The penny guy was funny too, has he made it here?
Lamar Odom had multiple strokes as a result of his medical emergency … this according to witnesses at the hospital.
We're told an MRI revealed since being admitted to the hospital in Las Vegas Tuesday night, Lamar suffered multiple strokes. It's unclear if brain damage resulted from the strokes.
We're also told Lamar is on a 3-5 hour dialysis for kidney failure.
Who the fuck is leaking MRIs to TMZ?
By PSYCH! Go To PostWho the fuck is leaking MRIs to TMZ?people that want money
It wasn't hostile in the sense that the vast majority of the trolling in this community isn't meant with malice and new comers were never going to get that. A lot of people here have been a part of this community for a long ass time too. So not only did new comers not understand the trolling, they felt like they were on the outskirts looking in. I do agree that NFLGAF is way worse, but I never frequented that thread because fuck the NFL.
I appreciate that this forum is more than just basketball related stuff. Creates a less insular feeling and provides various points of discussion so a poster isn't always navigating a mine of troll bombs.
I avoid trolling, but that's mostly because my troll game is barely freshman status.

You have to realize outlets like TMZ must work or recruit some really shady folks. Prof. ambulance chasers.

there's more assholes here than i can remember, but we have a sense of comradery.
hope you feel at home now.

Half of the stuff is probably offered to them at a price
Everyone knows your a photo and email away from a multi grand pay day from them without anyone ever being the wiser.
TMZ constantly reports accurate crap from hospitals. Michael Jackson was reported like TMZ was there at his bedside.
Granted, I've been involved in the community for such a long time now, but I never really thought it was super hostile. But I also hate the team I root for more than anyone else could.
By rodeoclown Go To PostGranted, I've been involved in the community for such a long time now, but I never really thought it was super hostile. But I also hate the team I root for more than anyone else could.It's easy to paint an entire group as assholes if you jump in once every 1000 days and read an out-of-context sequence of posts.
Some people don't fit into communities that give each other shit. That's understandable. I think it's ridiculous to ask the entire community to completely change just for you. If I don't fit in then I move on. You won't fit in everywhere. One of the recently popular misnomers is the idea of a totally inclusive community. The problem with that idea is that communities are formed by exclusion. Every little community forms because it excludes some people or some traits or personalities. A theatre community and a NBA fan community will have very different behaviors and traits. Some people may be able to fit into both, but will likely display different parts of their personality in each community. Some people won't be able to fit into one or the other. This is a natural part of the sub-grouping of human social circles. It's not by nature mean or a problem.
We didn't grow to 30,000-40,000 posts per month during the peak of NBA-Age by seemingly being giant assholes to each other and hating on each other.
I just didn't like that I got called a dipshit on the way out for calling him ignorant. I'm not even sure he knows what he banned me for because every time I read the ban message I think he might have banned me for talking about NFL gaf, which I wasn't. Regardless, he's a fucking hypocrite to talk shit to someone that way when it was that type of behavior that he shut nba gaf down with in the first place
Bah. This season needs to start already so I can see whiteside get ejected another 10 times.
