[Future PhaZe]

holy shit

is that tomorrow?!

 

[LegendofJoe]

holy shit

is that tomorrow?!

I wish, it's one of the Christmas Day games.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Not if we're last, baby! No way three teams are going to move up ahead of them.


...right?

 

[KingKong]

I wish, it's one of the Christmas Day games.

Nope, it's tomorrow

 

[Rodeo Clown]

More importantly, the Wolves play on TNT next week. That hasn't happened since 2006.

There's a better chance of the team with the worst record getting the 4th pick than the 1st.

1st: 25%
2nd: 21.5%
3rd: 17.8%
4th: 35.7%

Tee hee.

 

[Future PhaZe]

If we had to give up Beal/Singleton and our 2013 pick (unprotected) for Harden I'd probably turn that down...so my hate is a little less than yesterday. Harden being better than Beal + Shabazz is unlikely.

Beal is getting better each month. His numbers in December: 15, 5, 4 on 42 % from the field.

Nervous about the tank though. I don't think we can keep it up. We're starting to win games now

Everybody on the Raptors loves Bargnani.

Then there is Andrea Bargnani, Toronto’s windy avatar of dissatisfaction. According to sources, the team meeting following the 131-99 loss in Utah involved heavy criticism of Bargnani from his teammates, with some also directed towards point guard Lowry for overly self-centred play. But Bargnani, as always, was the focus.

Anybody can see why. He is back to being his own disinterested self, hoisting jumpers and standing straight-legged. Nobody has ever been able to reach him in his seven-year career; not Colangelo, not his coaches, not his teammates. Last season he was half-involved; this season he has melted back into his unformed puddle of untapped talent. He is grabbing the lowest percentage of available rebounds, 7.6%, of his career. It’s the worst basketball he has played since his disastrous sophomore season. He is finally being shopped, which means even Colangelo is giving up the ghost. But right now, there are no takers.

Last season he was half-involved; this season he has melted back into his unformed puddle of untapped talent.

he has melted back into his unformed puddle of untapped talent.

he has melted back into his unformed puddle

unformed puddle

Most accurate description of the guy ever.

It's the Raptors. This makes sense.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Sure, but that would just bump them down to the second pick.

Not really. The Cavs actual pick a few years back when they stank ass was the 4th. They got Irving through the clips pick.

Lately though the worst squad almost always tends to get a top 3 pick though. Usually the 2nd overall.

Raptors have a good chance of shitting the bed and still coming up with Bazz/Wiggins though. They suck ass but their front office just needs to stop trying to improve the team and then the tank will be on.

 

[LegendofJoe]

We've been moving up in the tank standings lately. We went from 9th to 7th over the last week. And thanks to Byron Mullens we have what it takes to crack the top 5 before too long.

 

[victreeb3l]

i cant stop laughing lol

 

[KingGondo]

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

appreciate it, hope our 2nd rounder this year nets you something decent.

Tee hee.

Yeah but they do have a nearly 65% chance of keeping the pick if they finish with the worst record.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Fixed

Oh it will. Presti Da God knows what he's doing.

Oh, I know. At this point I'm hoping they end up with the 4th or 5th-worst record. As long as BC is in charge and desperate to keep his job, there's a decent chance they'll make a move to improve just enough to have a better record than the Kings, Bobcats, and Wiz.

Something about Beal screams role player to me. He's a shooter that hasn't shown he can shoot and he's an average athlete. I think he shot up the boards because for whatever the reason people compare him to Eric Gordon.

 

[Adam Blade]

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Chicago Bulls for their seventh straight win. It's their longest winning streak since Danny Manning, Ron Harper & Co. won eight in a row in November-December 1991. Prior to Tuesday night, the only other NBA team that had not fashioned a winning streak of seven or more games over the previous 20 seasons was the Charlotee Bobcats, who did not debut in the league until 2004.

... feels better, man.

 

[theignoramus]

so whats up with DWills outside shooting this year? its worse than ever and its not like every part of the offense has to run through him like it did last year.

 

[DY_nasty]

He'll only seems like a role player because he refuses to commit to bullshit that is wizball

 

[Syphon Filter]

prediction:felton is going to ball on the lakers.

I've never been all that impressed with him. I told everyone on the Wiz board that I wanted MKG. They all laughed at me.

With that said DY isn't wrong, Beal refuses to do anything but play smart basketball. He did it at Florida too. He only wants to take one kind of shot : a smart shot. The only problem is he has to realize that good looks on this team come few and far in between. He'll learn. He desperately needs a guy like Wall though.

 

[Nori Chan]

So you're tellin me I'm going to miss the Knicks game tomorrow cause of school

fml

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Is he a PG? Is he faster than the speed of a sigh? Does he have two feet and two hands?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions then He will ball against LA.

 

[AgentChris]

Who is the starting PG of the Lakers? Duduhon?

 

[KingGondo]

Is he a PG? Is he faster than the speed of a sigh? Does he have two feet and two hands?

Haha.

Yeah, watching YNB against Morris and Duhon the other night was comical.

 

[victreeb3l]

screamin A is very tame with kobe on ESPN now. i expected him to poke and prod and send kobe into a meltdown like dantoni last night

 

[SamuraiX-]

So when can we welcome LakersAge in as honorary LoserBros™?

Look out!

 

[Nori Chan]

Haha.

Yeah, watching YNB against Morris and Duhon the other night was comical.

yeah him going ham the first half then proceeding to choke the chicken the next half was pretty funny

 

[Rodeo Clown]

@sam_amick
Minny PG Ricky Rubio won't be making his debut tonight. Odds are it'll be Saturday at home. He'll keep reassessing daily.

I'm ready.

 

[h3ro]

NYKlovingSteam is gonna happen, right friends?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Not happen.

Happening.

Spread that shit like wildfire, baby!

I'm sending out the Little Orphan Bargnani™ decoder pins right now.

MorisUkunRasik has declined your invitation to, 'LoserBros', citing the following reason: ead.

But if the ship is still sinking by the ASG Kado and I are starting the Xanax-Bros.

Meh, we took our foot off the gas.

Lakers fans trying to talk themselves into believing that game was close was the funniest part IMO.

You can't stop CJ Miles, you can only hope to contain him. He has in the gym range, insane athleticism and a basketball IQ of 'too fucking much'.

CM0 can not be denied, not by Darius Morris, not by Chris Duhon, not by a two legged dog, no one.

 

[commish]

... feels better, man.

I guess Lamar and Grant joined the right LA team.

 

[Smokey]

Is Johnny Flynn starting for the lakers yet

Jabari Parker will announce his college decision on Dec. 20 at Chicago Simeon High School.

Parker will choose either Duke, Michigan State, Florida, BYU or Stanford.

Please not Duke, Jabari.

@Twolves_PR

Love regrets comments became public. Says he'd love to end his career as a Timberwolves.

You made the statements to a reporter...

How could Love have known a sports reporter would report on sports?
