Did this become the What's Your Setup thread or something? Or has troll karma/Dion Waters finally broken Forever?
By Gabyskra Go To PostWhy not get a proper monitor if you're going to have a fixed setup somewhere?Sounds expensive.
By Face it Tiger.. Go To Postnets fans are truly some of the worstNext time I will find a bottle of lotion to include.
By Forever Go To PostSounds expensive.Like 100-130 dollars for a big improvement in your comfort.

By Kibner Go To PostGreat article discussing different possibilities to explain poor free throw shooting, particularly from bigs: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/17115866/real-root-nba-intentional-foul-epidemicThat reminds me of this episode of Malcolm Gladwell's new podcast, discussing why more players don't shoot FTs underhanded like Rick Barry.
http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/03-the-big-man-cant-shoot
Something I learned from that episode: Wilt shot his FTs underhanded in his 100-point game. He shot 28 of 32 from the line, and he was a career 51% FT shooter. Went back to shooting conventionally the following season and his FT% plummeted again.
Worth a listen.
Relatedly, the Mardi Gras schedule for that weekend:

Wait it overlaps with Mardi Gras? They definitely need to give it to New Orleans. The crowd is gonna be lit.
First they came for the Hornets... Then they came for Anthony Davis... Now they come for the All-Star Game.
I always make my computer area nice and not cluttered when I clean and then it ends up being full of books and sketchpads in a couple days.

Doo eet NBA! Fuck NC's decent into outward legislative bigotry.
By KingGondo Go To PostWait, they're gonna have the ASG during Mardi Gras?I'm so fucking pumped for something that may not even happen. You have no idea.
Sheeeeeit that will be crazy.
Here, have the last two halftime shows from NBA All-Star weekend in NOLA.

By KingGondo Go To PostWait, they're gonna have the ASG during Mardi Gras?One of the most enjoyable periods of my life was during Lombardi Gras. It was basically two weeks of Mardi Gras parades celebrating the Saints Super Bowl win. Everyone was so fucking happy and nice and awesome during that long period of festivities, even during normal day-to-day life. It was so great.
Sheeeeeit that will be crazy.
Maybe NOLA can give us some awesome halftime music material instead of whatever Wonder Bread shit we got this year.

The ASG during Mardi Gras would be pretty cool
In other news
I am somewhat excited about this. I really don't give two shits about the college team but this dude busted his ass and it's cool to see a dude work that hard to at least get a contract and a chance. Also I would love to see him in the dunk contest.

Sources: Guard D.J. Stephens, high-flyer for Memphis' summer team, has agreed to a partially guaranteed two-year deal with the Grizzlies.

By jjasper Go To PostAlso it kinda sucks for Charlotte and the people and businesses that this is happening.Charlotte has been on the right side of this from the beginning but the state government is shit soooo

Yea, I feel for those fans who didn't help elect their bigoted leadership.
By Moris Go To PostYea, I feel for those fans who didn't help elect their bigoted leadership.Lots of city-dwellers in red states feel their pain.
That said, I'm glad the NBA is taking the lead on this.
By Moris Go To PostYea, I feel for those fans who didn't help elect their bigoted leadership.The tragic thing is the state government passed that law in direct response to a Charlotte law protecting LGBT citizens.
By Moris Go To PostYea, I feel for those fans who didn't help elect their bigoted leadership.
They elected a city council that approved a bill that allowed transgender people to use whatever bathroom they wanted which is what drove the state legislature into an uproar. And if their state legislature is anything like most in the South it has been gerrymandered to shit pulling a lot of power from larger cities like Charlotte.
I love how these conservative lawmakers are all for "local control" unless it's for something they don't like. Oklahoma passed a law prohibiting municipalities from passing fracking bans.
"I just toned up my whole body. I probably lost like seven or eight pounds just doing something in the weight room every day," he said. "I’m definitely watching what I eat and at what time too, (That's) pretty much the biggest part. Drinking water only helped me out a whole lot as well."The fuck was this guy putting in his body. What were they feeding him in Cleveland/Minnesota/Toronto?
Bennett's penchant for late-night pizza runs at UNLV, one of the factors contributing to his weight issues, were well known with other teams who had closely researched him.Oh.
