By unknown Go To Postthompson is a beast, should be worth it.
knicks fans looking at an oasis when the rest of the world look at that man like he's a typical desert.
Who is: TT.
Dennis Rodman didn't get that much. He was a better rebounder, passer, and could score if he put his mind to it.
cavs finally realized that he's stupid enough to not play at all.
ofc. he got the paid, that was clear from the start.

heat offense should run through wade--let dragic spot up otherwise and run the offense when wade is off the court
If I am interpreting it right, Cousins made a rather dumb tweet in response to a criticism. However, I am not good at emoji speak.

Go back to representing the Pacers. We have like no Pacers fans here.
By Shun Go To PostGo back to representing the Pacers. We have like no Pacers fans here.I'm a spurs fan son.
So we're all going to ignore the fact that every time Lebron wants the Cavs to do something they don't want to do he sits out with back problems?
By rodeoclown Go To PostHe's definitely not better than Kevin Love.
Even I would admit that
Some NBA writer guy on Twitter
Good thing they don't have a bunch of players with significant injury histories
From a roster standpoint, 14 guaranteed contracts for Cleveland. Keeping #15 will cost CLE roughly $21,000 per day towards the luxury tax.

By vire Go To PostWhy the fuck are our starters so shit.30 win baseline
Even dragic looks slow.
anything more is gravy.
By PSYCH! Go To Post30 win baselineI guess so, but on paper we should be much better than we are. It's bizarre that Tyler Johnson has been literally the best player in the preseason.
anything more is gravy.
I'm hoping some of this is us just not giving a shit since its preseason. Everyone just looks so laxidazical on both sides of the court.
By reilo Go To PostRT @WojYahooNBA: Thompson reps kept pushing story client would sit year w/o max deal. Cavs, NBA never bought it. In end, agents caved, accepted lower deal.lmao. Yeah. For a guy who doesn't bring all that much other than health thats an absurd contract.
"Accepted" lower deal. Thompson's crew should've signed the minute they saw those numbers and thanked the gods. What a joke.
I was telling you Lin should be Charlotte's starting point guard. I believed in him.
By Dipro Go To PostCleveland won, only one who lost is Gilbert.Not if they fail to win a title, which I'm on the side that they won't win an NBA title even with Lebron back.
By Shun Go To PostNot if they fail to win a title, which I'm on the side that they won't win an NBA title even with Lebron back.so what if they don't win a title? what could they do if they did not pay him?
By Vahagn Go To PostCP3 literally said none of those things. He said in effect, "I'm a grown man, don't talk to me like a little kid"
I have no idea whether he was justified or overreacting, probably column B. The part I have an issue with is you suggesting that a player should never talk back to a ref "as disrespectfully as that" under any circumstance. The notion that two grown men can talk and only one side is allowed to disrespect the other is something I don't get. That's not much different from "know your place boy".
Because he shouldn't. Not on the court. That's what gets you techs. As exhibited by him getting a tech.
And that is what CP3 said.
It was pure back chat. Completely unnecessary comment. Levelled at the ref for no other reason than a demand of privilege to try and put the ref on the back foot.
The second half your statement is pure strawman made up logical fallacy appealing to a greater good that you have no idea was even breached.
By giririsss Go To PostBecause he shouldn't. Not on the court. That's what gets you techs. As exhibited by him getting a tech.Players talk to refs all the fucking time and at every level. Not every exchange is "make a call in my favor pls". A lot of it is getting understandings on how the game is being called, asking refs if they're aware of what's going on in blindspots, clarifications on infractions, etc. Its when players or refs decide to flip within those interactions that shit gets messy.

And refs aren't always right. You got dickhead refs giving out techs literally after the game is over or t'ing up guys for sipping gatorade in dehumanizing ways or letting one guy put a hand on their shoulder and not the other or mishearing things or blah blah
but either way fuck chris paul so whatever lol
By Dipro Go To Postso what if they don't win a title? what could they do if they did not pay him?
I must have misread when you said Cleveland won? I don't see how Cleveland wins at all if they fail to do what they set out to do.
I mean they seriously could have just let him sit through the entire year and hit restricted free agency.
Tristan Thompson was asking for even more money before this.

and waste one of the few prime LeBron years left?
why?
By jjasper Go To PostGrizz with 7 points in a quarter. Already in mid season form.huh. they're pretty beast in 2k. but they have moments where they can't make shit too.
By DY_nasty Go To PostPlayers talk to refs all the fucking time and at every level. Not every exchange is "make a call in my favor pls".

Never said ref's are always right. Never said players can't talk to ref's.
By giririsss Go To PostMy favourite part is Mark Jackson trying to defend CP3.
Fuck off Mark Jackson you fucking idiot. You don't talk to a game official as disrespectfully as that.
Sorry, but this level of anger isn't directed at someone getting assessed a tech. whether or not "don't talk to me like I'm a kid, I got two of my own" is disrespectful is another thing altogether, I happen to think its not.
But that's beyond the point, plenty of players and coaches get techs and the response is "you know what? I like what he did there, stood up for himself/his team/his player, etc."
This didn't seem like anger coming from a a place of defending what is and what isn't tech worthy. You didn't even mention technicals in your original post. This seemed like anger coming from a place of "how dare an nba player disrespect a ref"
That's why I said "where's the anger coming from" your reaction was entirely and overreaction to The situation. We were all trashing CP3 for acting hurt and being dumb, u took it to another place.
So as I said, I don't know what you meant or how you meant it. But it sure SEEMED like "know your place boy"
By Dipro Go To PostCleveland won, only one who lost is Gilbert.Cleveland completely over paid because they had to. And that hit really only comes out of gilberts wallet too.True.
Until you realise that LBJ's Contract next year is a Player Option. CLE are in cap hell. And the stupidity of over paying under performing role players was essentially the catalyst that made him leave the first time.
So yeah. CLE "won". I guess.
By unknown Go To Postquiet, I lead the knicks group here.
Stop
I love how this time last year Chris Paul was getting filleted for the shit he said to the new female ref and now he's ll butthurt for getting told to sit in a corner
a good time to turn his socks insideout in protest imo

By AlphaSnacks Go To PostStopHow come?
they are fucked if LBJ leaves anyway.
i assume he doesn't. at least not next year.
having TT now is better than not having him
as long as LBJ stays it won't hurt Cleveland or their cap options as long as LBJ is still in his (late) prime. (2-3 years)
i don't know why he would leave.
not having him and losing could be a huge reason why LBJ would decide to leave..

So basically, you're just making all of your shit up entirely based on "feels".
Ok.
