Prince George was looking real good last night. And Klay's looked flabby & sick the last two games, is the FIBA ball throwing off his shot?
Not sure why there's still doubts about this team, if Boogie, PG, Kyrie, KD, & Melo were a starting lineup in the Association, everyone would lose their shit & they'd be a dynasty for years. Some games will be close, they might lose a quarter or three, but barring some real fuckery from the refs (a real possibility in FIBA, I know) this teams defensive versatility is too good for the next best teams & if the the first & second options are having a bad day, last night showed us the third or fourth scoring option (Melo, PG, Butler) is gunna step up. Team can just kill you from too many areas.

By Kibner Go To PostWhat is the source?Good chance his family had to write this letter in order to not be thrown into jail. Erdogan has arrested like 10,000 people and fired more than 60,000 government workers. This maniac is completely out of control.
e: found this: http://www.eurohoops.net/featured/294990/enes-kanter-disowned-by-his-father-for-his-political-beliefs looks like it might be legit
e2: that site also has a picture of the letter his father wrote
If it was a "wink wink we are going to disown you" type deal, would Kanter really need to change his name or whatever (did he? i'm actually confused).
Either way this makes Kanter's terrible defense a little less fun to make fun of

By IWMTB19 Go To PostKanter changed his name to Enes Gülen.Wonder if the name change is gonna happen legally?
https://sports.vice.com/en_us/highlight/why-enes-kanter-has-a-new-name-and-why-his-family-disowned-him
This article is way too positive to Erdogan who is a wannabe dictator who wants to crush secular democracy in Turkey.
This is lowkey one of the most fascinating ongoing storylines in the NBA. I feel really bad for Enes though. Such a horrible situation.

Today i lost my mother, father, brothers and sisters, my family and all my relatives. My own father asked me to change my surname. My mother, who has given me life disowned me. My brothers and sisters with which we have grown together ignore me. My relatives don’t want to see me again.
For Gulen’s work, which has been grown by the tears of loyal and devoted people, not one but thousands of Enes could be sacrificed. I would sacrifice my mother, father and whole family for Gulen’s sake.
I would give my head for this case. I hope my God would take from my life and give it to Gulen. I would sacrifice my heaven and i would laugh through hells for this service. My love for Gulen is more than my love to my mom, father, brothers and sisters and all other loves.
My mom and my father would be sacrifice for you, for this service, for this case. There should be no doubt for everybody! God will take care to those people who are the supporters of this case, God will ramp up! Hang on my big brothers, hang on my big sisters! Hang in there! Let’s not lose that test. Let’s not be the losers at that victorious time. From now on, my sisters and brothers are the supporters of that service in 171 countries. Soldiers of that service are my brothers and sisters. From now on, my family is my Hodja (Gulen) who has tears in his eyes. Tyrants will be swept away in time. Hang on, God is with us. My god will make everything good It’s an indispensable case. There is God, there isn’t grief.
Enes (Kanter) Gulen
Yea, I'm super ignorant about the whole situation so.....I don't have any sort of valuable opinion on it.
The letter is pretty strongly worded tho.

yo what at that letter
Kanter speaks of Gulen like a cult leader.
Also, the term "Hodja" is literally translated as "master" or "lord". Fucking a Kanter...

Yeah that letter is weird to me. Basically putting up one idol for another isn't exactly what I'd call a good idea.

Gonna ask for a seperate flight if I'm Westbrook.
Edit: after a quick wiki read, Gulen doesn't seeeeeem harmful but Enes is talking craaaaaaazzzzzyy.
If I'm anyone on that team I'm asking for him to have his own separate travel. Dude is ready to martyr himself and egging on folks. Those other dudes just wanna play some basketball.

Erdogan is a piece of shit and his parents probably disowned him because if they didn't, they would be arrested. Maybe that letter is a giant FU to Erdogan. We know he's got soft skin too. That being said ... that's some fanatical shit in that letter.
Erdogan is bad. Gulen worship is bad. I'd make a comment about not finding a decent leader, but the US election doesn't really give me any high ground on that.
Yo whattup with Espana though fam? Back to Back Ls and they play them Lithuanians & Argentinians next. They might not even make it out of preliminaries with a 1-4 record. Rubio looks like ass by the way. I still remember DY talking that good shit bout how Kyrie wasnt gunna hold a candle to the Spaniard who cant shoot worth a damn. Talk that shit now baby, where you at?

it doesnt matter if they all have a bad day. our 1-10 in the rotation is probably better than anybody elses #1 guy. by some distance. we're going to beat the everloving fuck out of everyone. the only question is who scores the most points on our team each night.
