who did I make a bet with that the lakers and knicks would have more combined wins than another team?
By Moris Go To PostPlenty of players have been great despite their obvious mental shortcomings or habitual lapses in judgement. Bynum was really good when his knees allowed him to be on the court.I think Great is reaching.
They've been productive.
By Moris Go To Post6ers are gonna be so interesting this year. Embiid debut, Simmons running point. Wow
Embiid can't carry the team. neither can 6'10 Rondo
By giririsss Go To PostI think Great is reaching.

Bynum posted a 20+ Per at 24 for a couple seasons and playoffs.
By Face it Tiger.. Go To PostEmbiid can't carry the team. neither can 6'10 Rondo
Man, I said interesting.

Everybody should read this series of tweets.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI got Dunn for RoTY if Rubio kicks rocks just sayinI totally don't agree. I think the award is basically Ingram's to lose since he's going to put up numbers on a bad Lakers team.
I also don't love Dunn as a prospect and I think he's going to struggle. Even if he didn't have a point guard as good as Rubio in front of him, he's not a good decision maker, he doesn't have a great handle, he turns the ball over a lot, he can't really shoot that well. Rookies don't usually defend in the NBA, either. I just think people are pinning weird hopes of being like the next Dame on Dunn and he's not that.
By rodeoclown Go To PostI totally don't agree. I think the award is basically Ingram's to lose since he's going to put up numbers on a bad Lakers team.
You mean Simmons. Simmons literally gonna be running their offense as starting PointForward and Ingram may not be starting in LA and even if he does he'll have to split minutes with Deng/Brown.
By Moris Go To PostYou mean Simmons. Simmons literally gonna be running their offense as starting PointForward and Ingram may not be starting in LA and even if he does he'll have to split minutes with Deng/Brown.To start, sure, but eventually they'll make way. But I also don't know that Simmons is going to score enough, and voters in this kind of award are dumb and look for things like that.
Simmons is going to do a ton, but if Ingram is putting up like 17 by the end of the year?
By seph Go To Posthttps://thinkprogress.org/derrick-rose-rape-case-2182c16b55e2#.qdh7pv9lmBeen shit from the jump. His defense was "she a slut tho." No really elevating the discussion with how sexual a person is when consent is about consent and the ability to withdraw it at any point. Dude even tries to kinkshame too, once again I bet the SM enthusiasts are having a fun day with that crap. Also "but she didn't talk about the sexual assault over texts" is some sad ass defense too.

By DY_nasty Go To PostGeorge Hill, Teague, even Lawson would've helped. Unless you got a guy like Harden or Hayward… [there's really very few off-guards like that who exists in the league imo] you can't just go without a PG and expect reasonable success. I can't even include guys like Batum. That team is too young to be trying next level shit.
The problem with Hill and Teague is the only asset they want to trade is Monroe... And Lawson and Kidd together would result in a body somewhere, somehow
By rodeoclown Go To PostTo start, sure, but eventually they'll make way. But I also don't know that Simmons is going to score enough, and voters in this kind of award are dumb and look for things like that.hate to sound a like a homer but I agree with you. Ingram is the better scorer and much better defender.
Simmons is going to do a ton, but if Ingram is putting up like 17 by the end of the year?
its definitely his to lose.
but I still think SImmons has upside going for him
BTW, I'm starting to think of the Pacers and Paul George as The Mavs and Dirk of the east.
Except the pacers will never spend the $$$ the Mavs did.

To be fair there's nothing really there besides the fact that Rose has a swinger mentality. Most important detail is how he and his boys got in the apartment. If they broke in then he's going to lose. If she let them in then the idea of consent is going to be impossible to determine.

Having one star gets you nowhere these days. It's really damn hard to get a star to join you. Trying to think of the last time a star was able to recruit another minus a super team. Was it Paul to the clippers? And even then Paul was just desperate to leave NO. Harden recruited Dwight but his reputation was already a bit sunk by then.

Hard, but not impossible. The one thing going for her (just on the shit i've seen here, haven't realyl dug into it) is that she has never agreed to group sex and doesn't sound like she ever would.

Yeah, the 1 star team recruiting just another single star doesn't happen often, particularly with both in their prime. And that's something PG is going to struggle with. Getting over that "good enough to drag them to the playoffs but not really contenders" hump.
I'm excited to get 2K17, create the next great Center and carry LA's roster of ~70 ratings deep into the playoffs.

oh shit didnt realize wallace is in career mode
By Tea Go To PostCena isn't that tall, he's going to be shorter than like 99% of the NBA.He's 6'1.
By reilo Go To PostHe's 6'1.Yeah I know, not that tall. I get the average is much shorter but I'm talking in relative terms to giants.

noooo. First Jerry Rice now AI fml
just another case of "fuck you got mine" which isn't surprising but still pretty sad as he's what got me into basketball
maybe its just my own biased view. but i dont see an "all lives matter" from ai the same way as i would from most people
also i cant believe they're doing that myplayer story mode crap again. that's more time that could be spent on making the game itself better.

By domino Go To Postmaybe its just my own biased view. but i dont see an "all lives matter" from ai the same way as i would from most peoplethere's branching paths now and its not some bullshit spike lee joint. i dropped the link for the mycareer stuff - it sounds way better than the shit from last year
also i cant believe they're doing that myplayer story mode crap again. that's more time that could be spent on making the game itself better.
they kept the college and high school stuff as a lead in, but it won't be a waste of a rookie year and a "why can't i just kill this fuckboy myself" episode either
right? all i want to do is just bang out a bunch of games. get good and hero ball it. with competent teammates. that's all i ask for is competent teammates. why they thought it needed a story is beyond me. your performance is the story
you can thank losers like chris smoove and shit who used to make mycareer videos on youtube adding gameplay clips of gta or some shit and pretending to drive to the stadium while making up some story for their myplayer

Actually read the article, what he says is way less dumb than you'd think.
The only thing that I want to put out there is all positivity. I know all black lives matter, all lives matter
i think it sounds worse because it's still basically what everyone says. "yea black lives matter but so does everyone elses"
