Honestly, for those entering into the tank race and want to understand the lottery better, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_draft_lottery is a good place to get your head around it.Yeah I don't like being basically called "you people" when there are only individuals who the mods have problem with.
Also calling Best GAF insular is ridiculous considering GAF is the most insular gaming site on the net.
Community threads are this way. Poligaf can also be a difficult place to post. I think the main issue is that competitive sports threads are by nature filled with aggressive people. Shit talking is part of the experience so to speak. The combo of the two was too much for the TOS.
I didn't ever post much, but that's my takeaway. And in any case, a watered down sports thread where everyone gets along and pats everyone on the back would be boring to follow.
Now … Onto BBall. How many balls do we get being the 5th worst? And why the fuck is Kobe still talking about returning this year.
All Hail Lion KingRight after you posted this, I went back and watched his game winner against Pitt. One of those few moments of NCAA basketball that I've watched.
Walker Wins Award for First Time in Career After Leading Bobcats to a Perfect 4-0 Week
February 24, 2014
The NBA announced today that Charlotte Bobcats guard Kemba Walker has been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, February 17 through Sunday, February 23. Walker, the fourth player in franchise history to capture the award, led the Bobcats to the NBA’s only 4-0 record last week.
A 6-1 point guard, Walker scored in double figures in all four games, including three games of 20 points or more. Walker scored a game-high 31 points in Saturday’s 92-89 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies and handed out a career-high 16 assists in Wednesday’s 116-98 victory against Detroit. He averaged 22.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 40.5 minutes during the four-game span, ranking third in the Eastern Conference in assists and minutes played and tied for ninth in scoring. Walker has recorded at least five rebounds and five assists in each of his last three games, the longest current streak in the NBA.
The only team in the NBA to go 4-0 last week, the Bobcats beat the Pistons (twice), Pelicans and Grizzlies to win all four games of a four-game-in-five-days stretch for just the second time in franchise history. The Bobcats join the Miami Heat (five games) as the only teams in the league with current winning streaks of four or more games and are 7-3 over their last 10 games. The current four-game winning streak is the team’s first since March 25-30, 2011. Currently, the Bobcats hold the No. 7 position in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Walker joins Gerald Wallace (four times), Jason Richardson (two times) and Stephen Jackson as the only players in franchise history to win Player of the Week honors. He is the first Bobcats player to win the award since Stephen Jackson in January 2010.

It's all talk. At best he'd play a few games to get people to renew their season tickets.
Man, Warriors continue to be entirely under-impressive.
I really thought that was a team ready to go the next level.
I'm not even sure where you could upgrade on that roster, entirely meaningfully.

smh I have to invite the remaining raps age members. shame on you LFK, Kave,Vic.
ANyone invited LegendofJoe or GremlinFool?
Hey I'll be honest I'm still getting used to knowing who is a part of Raps-Age.
Kyoto and Brinbe are the only ones I could remember. That and Trax.
Man, Warriors continue to be entirely under-impressive.things i didnt understand at the start of the season: people thinking the warriors would to any large degree better than they have been, people thinking the suns would be the worst team in the league

The Bucks scored 73 points at the half with a 29 point lead, on a road game.
Looks like the 76ers are determined to get that first pick.
I'd say the coach.

Bogut didn't play much last season. This season he was going to play, have a training camp. Be healthy.
They also got iggy for leadership and defense on the wing. But that hasn't resulted.
Klay appeared to go up a level in the spurs series. As did Barnes. But Klay has only gone up half a level, and barnes not at all.
They were poised to be on the up, not the same.

Thanks. It doesn't shame me to say this is the first draft in forever I care about on a personal level.
Wow even Milwaukee embarrasing the sixers... worst team ever.

We aren't going to win again this season.

It's not meant to be so blatant, it does not please the gods. You shall pick 4th just after The Magic and The Bucks.
So unfortunately we didn't get to talk Trade deadline drama or lack thereof... Knicks fans you must be devastated.
We aren't going to win again this season.I need reilo to install an alert system to let me know when Burnem Mullens plays
Going to make Aaron Gordon future taste even better when the Tank Gods betray us
I need to know just how far my Bobcats have come

Chad Ford (lol) compared him to AK47, which is a pretty great ceiling to have. MCW/Gordon/Noel would be a crazy defensive core in a few years.
But the ghost of Stern is going to give the Lakers, Celtics and Sixers the top three picks anyway.

I'd be happy with 3 (less chance to Sixer it up) but I just know we will be the one's to get Bobcat'd and fall to 5 or some shit and be stuck with a second tier prospect.
Just getting my heart ready for it.\

Noooooo my draft pick.
I come back from a run and see it's already the third quarter in this Warriors game. Fuck that.
Bogut is back and we're losing to Detroit fuck THAT

Damn Thad Young going HAM for my fantasy team. I'm in the midst of the playoffs. 22/5 Boards/5 Assists/4 Steals. 8 minutes left in the game.
It feels dirty rooting for a tank and being in last in the west, yet somehow we still almost have double the bucks wins. What's it feel like to be a bucks fan?
Even with their win tonight. ... Lol

It's gotta feel pretty decent as they'll pick up a potential franchise player in this draft and Giannis looks damn good, they'll be solid soon enough, just gotta shed Mayo ASAP.

I honestly hate this tank to win shit. I'm not sure how the lottery could be changed to prevent this, but this blows.

It sucks, but it's going to happen pretty much no matter what you do. This year is one of the worst for sure though with all the hype surrounding this draft.
Sixers entering tank territory rarely seen by the likes of man.Trading for Eric Maynor is doing wonders for them. Hinkie is a genius.
This philly tank……Down 30 to the Bucks….
The lakers v pacers game tomorrow has the potential to be closer.
Wow, can't believe I got accepted already. This is pretty cool, hope this thing grows forreal.
Knicks fucking suck, and I hope there aren't too many Knicks age members to see this shitty team anymore lol.
