Violent- Bynum attempts to injure other people
Lawless- ignores the rules of the game in his attempts to injure people
Hoodlum- well one definition of hoodlum is thug so I guess that's just a tautology
Villain- he plays for the most hated team in the league

Uzoh got dropped from RUSSIA. Dude's a zero.

But, I can't even fuck with the Bobcats tank this year. It's exceptional.

It'll be good the next two years, too. And again in Seattle.

How does it feel to be a fan of the only team in the league to lose to the Bobcats twice and still be left out of the top 5 of the lotto?

Tom Chambers played like _________
I actually wondered and discovered that Michael Beasley has pretty much exactly the same career stats per 36. Better shooting by Chambers gives him an extra bucket but everything else is almost the same.
Code:
Player		PTS	TRB	AST	STL	BLK	TOV	PER
Tom Chambers	21.3	7.1	2.4	0.9	0.7	2.7	16.5
Michael Beasley	19.6	7.2	1.8	0.9	0.7	2.4	15.9

Chambers '81-85	19.9	7.3	2.3	0.8	0.7	3.0	15.8
Now to start referring to him as the Store Brand Tom Chambers everywhere.
 
I finally started and completed MGS3, that was pretty fucking amazing. Now I have to ask if I should play 4 because everyone seems to hate it.
Do it. I went through the entire series prior to 4 and its still one of my favorite experiences of this gen. There is some crap but plenty of awesome moments...off the top of my head there are 3 moments that I feel everyone should experience first hand before the game is too dated.

May as well play 4 but it retcons the shit out of everything prior. But I dunno, in a post-ME3 society it might hold up better then I remember. If you've got the HD collection then be sure to play Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker; the game about peace, starring a girl named Peace and directed by Hipeaceo Kopeacema.

Poor Man's is still too good is what i meant.
Beasley's still only 23, Chambers was only in his second season at that age and that was six years away from his 25+ scoring. So with hard work and determination Beasley still has time to...

Wait, where are you going? Why are you laughing?

Amazing. A game is literally stolen from us because some worthless bedwetter who never amounted to anything in life decided to flaunt his two-incher by ejecting our center. I bet in that one moment, he felt like he was sporting a porn-star-esque four inches.

Fuck Stern, and fuck this league.

wow

wow

wow

It was like watching this, well sort of

http://youtu.be/IhQyaKWsQy8

Did
Rodman
get any time for this?
He wasn't even whistled for a foul, the flagrant was on Laimbeer.
It was 42-34 when Pippen, who finished with 23 points, 10 assists and six rebounds, drove to the basket and was hit by Bill Laimbeer in what was ruled a flagrant foul. As Pippen came down, he was pushed in the back by Rodman and flew into the first row of seats.

Pippen was slow in getting up, but Rodman, recently voted the league's defensive player of the year for the second consecutive season, was not called for any sort of foul.
But Rodman did get fined:
On Wednesday, Rodman said he was sorry. He also was fined $5,000 by the NBA office.

Rodman, who flagrantly pushed Scottie Pippen out of bounds in Game 4, sent a letter of apology to the Bulls forward, who suffered a six-stitch gash in his chin when he was knocked down. Later in the day, the league announced the fine but said Rodman would not be suspended.

``We looked at the facts and made a judgment,`` said NBA operations director Rod Thorn. ``We had our security people investigate, and we feel he was seriously contrite. The fine was for pushing Pippen.``

Thorn said Rodman should have been assessed a technical foul on the play. But he said it ``was debatable`` whether Rodman should have been ejected.

``There was no punch,`` Thorn said. ``He just shoved him. It wasn`t in the best interests of the game, but it was not to the degree that a suspension was warranted, although we talked about it.``

``I`m not convinced he wrote it,`` Pippen said. ``If he did, it`s a confession, but I don`t believe it`s going to make up for the scar I might have on my chin.``
...
The Pistons have been getting a bashing in the national media. New York Times columnist Ira Berkow wrote that Chuck Daly should not be allowed to coach the 1992 Olympic team because he permitted the Pistons` rough tactics.
Rodman's letter:
May 29, 1991

Mr. Scottie Pippen

Chicago Bulls Basketball Team

980 North Michigan Avenue

Suite 1600

Chicago, Ill. 60611

Dear Scottie,

I am writing this letter to apologize to you for the incident that happened in Monday`s game. You are a great player and I`m glad you weren`t hurt by the incident. It was merely one of frustration.

I am not the type of player of which I have been accused. The situation was one of those things which should not have happened. I am ready and willing to accept any fines or consequences set by the league for my actions.

I sincerely apologize to you, your teammates and the entire Chicago Bulls organization. I also hope that there are no hard feelings between you, your teammates and me.

Good luck in the NBA Finals-it`s a tough road ahead of you.

Sincerely,

Dennis Rodman

Called this shit years ago. Lakers will never win a damn thing with Bynum as a major part of the team. He is simply to much of an immature man-child. With no heart. He is a dirty player, and now his lack of intelligence lost Lakers the game tonight.

Phill had it completely right up until his last year. Play Bynum limited minutes, then bench him before he can do anything stupid. Unfortunately, last year he depended on him a bit to much. Then of course, the JJ incident happened and ruined the entire mojo of the Lakers.

The Lakers will probably give him a major contract extension, he'll try to take over the team, and the whole organization will be fucked for years.
 
Also, I really like Houston's team. I think Dragic and Scola are very underrated players. What in the hell were the Suns thinking trading away Dragic? He could have easily replaced Nash.

Lol at you guys attempting to back up the absurdity of your claims by essentially suggesting that a hard playoff foul and dirty basketball play is equivalent to being a non-law abiding citizen, a criminal, a murderer, a thief, an actual villain (not one who's team you don't like lol).


Btw...where were gif's of lambier's fouls or the McHale clothesline on Rambis in this discussion?...right...this isn't racially charged at all...your subconscious racist tendencies....how do they work?


By the logic of "violence" in NBA games you guys are literally calling criminal...let's all get on the "Anderson Silva is the new Hitler" bandwagon

A dirty basketball player and a thug are two different things...what I don't understand is why you're adamantly defending the use of "thug" in this instance when no one is arguing that Bynum is a dirty immature player.

Z-Bo might be a thug because there are all sorts of reports of him being involved in criminal activity, drug dealing, etc. But someone is not a thug by the way someone plays the game of basketball...that's just absurd and even worse, it feeds into the dangerous stereotype of young black men being perceived as criminals or dangerous simply because of the way they play a sport or wear their hoodies etc....


Again - Bynum is a dirty basketball player with serious immaturity issues...and the Barea/Beasley forearm shiver was seriously dirty and watching both of those plays live I felt ashamed and still do.

I always thought dragic sucked

And he did suck

Also, I'm not about to say he doesn't suck because of two hot weeks on a team ready to tank.
 
Fucking idiot refs.

Do these pig-fuckers think the fans come to see them in their stupid stripes?

They come to see the players. A bunch of people paid hundreds of dollars to come to a game tonight, and they have it ruined by some dickless scat-fetishist with a god-complex.
The ref who ejected Bynum should be traded to a warzone for someone who actually deserves to live in a first world country.

Honestly, going over the replays, Bynum's hit on Barea wasn't that dirty.

Tom Chambers actually played 36...

In Florida AB could claim that Barea was attacking him and he just stood his ground
